description | We present linked field and laboratory studies investigating controls on enhanced nitrate processing during infiltration for managed aquifer recharge. We examine how carbon-rich permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) made of woodchips or biochar, placed in the path of infiltrating water, stimulate microbial denitrification. In field studies with infiltration of 0.2–0.3 m/day and initial nitrate concentrations of [NO3-N] = 20–28 mg/L, we observed that woodchips promoted 37 ± 6.6% nitrate removal (primarily via denitrification), and biochar promoted 33 ± 12% nitrate removal (likely via denitrification and physical absorption effects). In contrast, unamended soil at the same site generated 0.7 m/day) but can still result in denitrification. These results demonstrate a quantitative relationship between infiltration rate and denitrification that depends on the presence and nature of a PRB. Combined results from these field and laboratory experiments, with complementary studies of denitrification during infiltration through other soils, suggest a framework for understanding linked hydrologic and chemical controls on microbial denitrification (and potentially other redox-sensitive processes) that could improve water quality during managed recharge. |
