文摘

Pilot-scale testing validated site-specific design of treatment wetlands for ammonia. Ammonia resulting from cyanide destruction is treatable by passive means. Greatest amounts of ammonia treatment were associated with highest abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Extent of treatment was independent of hydraulic retention times tested.
