Abstract
This paper presents a study on the efficient removal of nitrate nitrogen from wastewater using modified reed straw (MRS) and its subsequent resource utilization. The modification of the reed straw involved the introduction of branching quaternary amine groups to enhance its adsorption capacity for nitrate nitrogen. Experimental investigations were conducted to analyze the impact of packing height, flow rate, and initial solution concentration on the dynamic adsorption performance of the MRS. The results revealed that the maximum dynamic adsorption capacity of the MRS for nitrate nitrogen reached 14.76 mg/g. Furthermore, valuable nitrate nitrogen nutrient solution was successfully recovered through subsequent desorption experiments for resource recycling. Moreover, the application of the MRS led to notable enhancements in column height, fresh weight, chlorophyll content, and nitrogen content of the treated plants, indicating its efficacy in promoting plant growth. Overall, the findings demonstrate that MRS serves as a versatile adsorbent capable of efficient nitrate nitrogen removal and subsequent resource utilization.
