Field and Laboratory Studies Linking Hydrologic, Geochemical, and Microbiological Processes and Enhanced Denitrification during Infiltration for Managed Recharge

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 micro...

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.
