Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a constructed subsurface-flow wetland simulation model
Theresa M. Wynn,Sarah K. Liehr +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic, compartmental simulation model of subsurface-flow constructed wetlands is presented, which consists of six submodels, including the nitrogen and carbon cycles, both autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria growth and metabolism, and water and oxygen balances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Denitrification Rate Limiting Factors in a Constructed Wetland Receiving Landfill Leachate
D. D. Kozub,Sarah K. Liehr +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a free water surface flow constructed wetland located at the New Hanover County Solid Waste Management Facility, near Wilmington, North Carolina, USA, was used to investigate denitrification in constructed wetlands to improve the nitrogen treatment capabilities of these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metals removal by algal biofilms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the possibility of enhanced metal precipitation inside algal biofilms and provided evidence to support the theory that higher internal pH can result in greater metal removal by the bio-films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exopolysaccharide Control of Methane Oxidation in Landfill Cover Soil
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model that combined multicomponent gas diffusion along the vertical axis of the columns with biotic methane oxidation was used to predict vertical gas gradients in the columns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow Pattern Analysis of Constructed Wetlands Treating Landfill Leachate
Jonathan K. Rash,Sarah K. Liehr +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three series of tracer studies were performed on three constructed wetlands at the New Hanover County Landfill near Wilmington, North Carolina, USA, and a conservative tracer, lithium chloride, was used to study the chemical reactor behavior of these wetlands under normal operating conditions.
