The invention relates to a method for extracting bioflocculant from excess
activated sludge, in particular to a method for preparing the bioflocculant by adopting an ultrasonic method. The method comprises the following steps of: A, getting back the excess
activated sludge from a
sewage treatment
plant adopting a biological treatment process, standing for 8-24h at a temperature of 4-5 DEG C, and dumping supernate to obtain gravity concentrated
sludge; B, carrying out ultrasonic treatment on the gravity concentrated
sludge for 30-120s under the conditions that the frequency is 20-53kHz and the power is 120-240W to obtain a
sludge sample; and C, centrifuging the sludge sample for 10-30min at a speed of 6,000-12,000rpm to obtain supernate, namely the bioflocculant. Determination on the bioflocculant provided by the invention shows that
flocculation can be about 70% when pH value is equal to 9.0, and the
flocculation effect is rapidly promoted while the
alkalinity is increased; the bioflocculant is biodegradable, and no secondary
pollution is produced after the bioflocculant is used; the price is low, the process
controllability is high, the requirement of industrial production can be easily met, good environmental, economic and
social benefits are realized, and the bioflocculant can be widely applicable to recycling of the excess
activated sludge produced by a
sewage biological treatment
plant.
