Abstract

The road runoff after rainfall carries a lot of pollutants that could cause great harm to the water environment. A biochemical pool can be used as a treatment for the road runoff. In order to further improve the efficiency of road runoff treatment by biochemical pool and to evaluate the purification effect of the aquatic plants, two aquatic plants of Iris pseudacorus and Myriophyllum verticillatum were chosen in this research. The effect of different planting densities on the treatment of runoff pollutants and the planting mode by different aquatic plants were studied. The results show that both plants have the ability to remove the pollutants like chemical oxygen demand (COD), Zn, Cu, oil, and suspended solids (SS), and the ability is increased with the increase of planting density. The Iris pseudacorus is better than Myriophyllum verticillatum on the removal of Zn, while Myriophyllum verticillatum does better on the removal of Cu, oil, and SS. Combined planting mode can effectively improve the purification effect of COD and petroleum.
