Colloid‐Pollutant Migration through Saturated Vegetative Filter Strips with Various Hydrodynamics Condition under Rainfall

Flow hydrodynamic condition impacts the deposition process on vegetation and removal of colloid and colloid‐associated contaminants in saturated vegetative filter strips (VFSs) under rainfall. A 9.6‐m‐long flume was constructed to investigate the retention of colloids through VFSs, with saturated soil and simulated rainfall. Colloidal filtration theory was applied to calculate the colloid deposition rate coefficient (kd) on vegetation surface. The result showed that removal efficiencies (η) of the single‐stem decreased, but colloid kd on the flume scale vegetation increased with increased Reynolds number (Re). Flume experiment found that the colloid retention rate in VFSs decreased as the Re increased. Since deposition on vegetation surface and diffusion into saturated soil are two main removal mechanisms, the discrepancy between kd and retention rate suggests that colloid diffusion into the soil was the dominant process of colloid removal in saturate VFSs. The research deepens the understanding of colloid transport mechanism in VFSs, and provides theoretical basis for the design of VFSs.
