ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to explore the removal of pollutants by different constructed rapid infiltration
(CRI) and change in surface characteristics of fillers. The result showed that the increase of filler height
and mechanical ventilation was beneficial to the removal of COD by CRI, but not to the removal of
SS;the increase of filler height was beneficial to the removal of most heavy metals, and the effect of
mechanical ventilation on the removal of heavy metals was very small;Found by SEM,the biofilm on
CRI fillers decreased gradually along the direction of water flow, mechanical ventilation increased the
biofilm on CRI filler at 0.8 m, but decreased the biofilm on CRI filler at 1.3 m; Found by the element
analysis of EDS, the main elements on the surface of three groups of CRI filler were O, C and Ca, in
addition, P, S, Cl, As, Cd and Hg were also included; the composition of elements on the surface of three
groups of CRI fillers changed little along the direction of water flow, but the proportion of elements
changed constantly along the direction of water flow; the height of filler and mechanical ventilation had
little influence on the composition of elements on the surface of CRI fillers, but had a certain influence
on the proportion of elements.
