Abstract
A sewage was treated using serially combined vertical and horizontal flow zeolite-filled reed bed. The sewage from the student dormitory of Changwon National University was fed into the reed bed for 10 minutes every 6 hours at the hydraulic load of 314 $L/m^2{\cdot}day$. The reed bed depth was 100cm and the zeolite mixture was filled in the reed bed. The mixture consisted of the same volume of two types of zeolite ; 0.5~1mm and 1~3mm in diameter. pH value decreased in vertical bed, while it increased in horizontal bed. But DO concentration in the effluent of both beds was higher than that in the influent. Average removal efficiencies of the entire treatment system were 99.22% SS, 95.56% BOD, 91.02% $COD_{Cr}$, 87.78% $COD_{Mn}$, 45.87% T-N, 99.88% $NH{_4}^+-N$ and 71.17% T-P. Most of T-N in the effluent was $NO{_3}^--N$. However, the concentration of $NO{_2}^--N$ in the effluent was lower than 0.04 mg/L. All removal efficiencies did not show a remarkable seasonal change.
