The PM removal process of wetland plant leaves with different rainfall intensities and duration.

Abstract:

:Today, particulate-matter (PM) pollution has become one of the most severe air-pollution problems. As the most commonly used method in daily life, phytoremediation can use plant organs (such as leaves) as biological filters for pollutants to repair the atmosphere. At the same time, rainfall can remove PM from plant-leaf surfaces and enable them to adsorb PM again. By simulating natural rainfall, the rainfall characteristics are quantified as rainfall intensity and rainfall duration, and we use the washout-weighing method to obtain the amount of PM removed from the leaf surface. Then, use a scanner to scan the leaves after rain to get their images, and use Image J software to process the images to obtain leaf area. Finally, the amount of PM removed by rain per unit leaf area can be calculated. It will be used to explore the impact of different rainfall intensity and duration on the removal of PM from the leaf surface of wetland plants. The results showed that under three rainfall intensities used in this experiment, the removal of PM from plant-leaf surfaces all increased with an increase in rainfall duration. When the particle size is 10-100-μm, and the rainfall intensity is 30 mm/h, the removal amount of plant particles tested in this experiment is the largest. With increased rainfall duration, the removal of PM from plant-leaf surfaces increased sharply at first, then slowly, and finally tended to be stable. The removal efficiency of PM on the blade surface is most apparent at the early stage of rainfall, and then gradually weakens. Among the four wetland plants tested in this experiment, in the range of 10-100-μm, the number of PM on the leaf surface of Scirpus validus is the largest, and the optimum rainfall intensity is 30 mm/h; in the range of 2.5-10-μm, the number of PM on the leaf surface of Typha orientalis is the largest, and the optimal rainfall intensity is 30 mm/h; in the range of 0.45-2.5-μm, the number of PM on the leaf surface of Iris wilsonii is the largest, and the optimal rainfall intensity is 15 mm/h. Wetland species with high particle accumulation capacity can provide references for vegetation restoration of degraded wetland plants and plant cultivation in constructed wetlands. At the same time, the best rainfall intensity and duration for removing particulate matter on the surface of plant leaves were obtained through experiments, which provided a reference for the design of automatic plant irrigation systems and dust removers in different scenarios.
