This invention discloses a device and method for recovering
organic matter and
phosphorus from
wastewater, belonging to the field of
wastewater treatment technology. The method includes the following steps: (1) pumping the
wastewater to be treated into a carbon and
phosphorus capture tank and inoculating it with
sludge to achieve preliminary enrichment of
organic matter and
phosphorus; (2) pumping the enriched
sludge into a pre-oxidation tank and adding ferrate for stirring; (3) pumping the
effluent into an anaerobic
fermentation tank and adding
ethanol to the
system for anaerobic
fermentation to convert the generated short-chain fatty acids into medium-chain fatty acids; (4) pumping the mixed liquid after anaerobic
fermentation into a separation and
recovery tank for stirring reaction,
settling, and recovering phosphorus in the form of lapis lazuli; (5) returning the
sludge settled in the anaerobic fermentation tank to the carbon and phosphorus capture tank through a sludge return
system, and the
system operates continuously and stably for ≥5 cycles. This invention uses the different valence state transformations of iron and their corresponding compounds as driving factors, and adopts a combination of carbon and phosphorus capture tanks, pre-oxidation tanks, anaerobic fermentation tanks, separation and
recovery tanks and sludge return systems. Through biochemical and physicochemical means, microorganisms are regulated to efficiently capture
organic matter, and iron compounds synergistically adsorb organic matter and phosphorus, ultimately realizing the
recovery of organic matter and phosphorus from wastewater in the form of high-value-added medium-chain fatty acids and lapis lazuli.
