TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biological denitrification of sewage, and particularly relates to a method for ammonia-oxygen synergistic enhanced partial nitritation-anammox denitrification. BACKGROUND
[0002] The discovery of anaerobic ammonia oxidation (Anammox) provides a new idea for biological denitrification of sewage (waste water). In recent years, denitrification processes such as partial nitritation-anammox (PN / A) and partial denitrification-anammox (PD / A) have been derived from Anammox. Among these processes, PN / A is usually selected as the preferred process due to its better performance in reducing oxygen and carbon source consumption. However, the application of this process is currently observed only in the treatment of sewage sludge digestion liquid and other wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen (NH4 + -N), and its application in municipal (domestic) sewage denitrification (mainstream system) is relatively limited. This is mainly because it is difficult to achieve stable accumulation of nitrite nitrogen (NO2 + -N) under the environmental conditions of low NH4 - -N and low temperature, that is, nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) have a more competitive advantage and can further oxidize NO2 - -N required for Anammox bacteria reaction to nitrate nitrogen (NO3 - -N), which results in no NO2 - -N available for Anammox bacteria, seriously damaging the stability of the PN / A system. Therefore, the prerequisite for ensuring the smooth progress of PN / A denitrification is the inhibition of NOB.
[0003] To effectively inhibit the activity of NOB in the mainstream PN / A system, researchers have developed various inhibition methods, including low DO concentration limitation, batch free ammonia (FA) or free nitrite acid (FNA) inhibition, short sludge retention time (SRT) operation, and low NH4 + -N concentration, etc. However, the low DO concentration limitation strategy can only inhibit NOB-Nitrobacter with weak oxygen affinity, and has poor inhibition effect on NOB-Nitrospira with strong oxygen affinity; the batch FA or FNA inhibition strategy requires periodic placement of sludge in a solution containing high concentrations of FA or FNA, which increases the difficulty of system operation and management; short SRT operation can effectively eliminate NOB, but it will affect the enrichment of Anammox bacteria, and thus affect the stability of the denitrification system; and the low NH4 + -N concentration strategy requires maintaining a high effluent NH4 + -N concentration, which is difficult to meet the discharge requirements. Therefore, it is particularly important to study a NOB inhibition strategy with good inhibition effect and simple operation. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the technical problems in the background art, it is necessary to provide an ammonia-oxidation synergistic enhanced partial nitritation-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PN / A) denitrification method, by establishing NH4 + -N and DO concentration dependence relationship with denitrification functional microorganisms, and determining the optimal DO concentration required when the microorganisms are in contact with different NH4 + -N concentrations, so as to effectively inhibit the proliferation of NOB and ensure that the PN / A denitrification process proceeds at the maximum rate.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application realizes the following technical solutions:

Compared with the strategy of controlling DO or NH4 + -N concentration alone, the application can obtain more long-term and stable inhibition effect, and ensure the smooth progress of the mainstream PN / A denitrification process. Compared with the batch FA or FNA inhibition strategy, the application is easier to realize in the municipal wastewater treatment plant, and the operation is simple.

[0020] Example 2:
[0021] The device of Example 1 is used for sewage denitrification, and sewage and / or wastewater containing low-concentration NH4 + -N is continuously injected into the reactor 1, the hydraulic retention time in the reactor is maintained to be 8-12h, and the fillers 9 are fully mixed with the sewage; the temperature in the reactor 1 is controlled to be normal temperature, generally 20-25℃, the fillers 9 are taken from a stable running PN / A biofilm reactor and / or an aerobic zone of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, the fillers 9 are K3, the diameter is 25mm, the specific surface area is 500-800m 2 / m 3 , the filling rate of the fillers 9 is controlled to be 30%, the denitrification functional microorganisms are nitrifying bacteria and / or anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria; the NH4 + -N concentration range is The DO concentration is controlled to be:
[0022] In the formula, C DO is the DO concentration, is the NH4 + -N concentration.

[0026] Table 1 The relationship between the concentration of NH4 and the concentration of DO in the PN / A system DO and the corresponding NRR
[0027]
[0028] Example 3:
[0029] The device and method of Example 2 were used to remove nitrogen from wastewater containing NH4 + . The effective volume of reactor 1 was 5 L, and the HRT of reactor 1 was controlled to be 8 h by controlling the flow rate of water inlet pump 2. The temperature of reactor 1 was controlled to be 25°C. The filler 9 was taken from the laboratory's PN / A reactor which had been stably treating wastewater with a medium concentration of NH4 + . The corresponding relative proportions of Anammox, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were 11.57±2.34%, 1.01±0.35% and 0.94±0.45% respectively. The filling rate in reactor 1 was controlled to be 30%.
[0030] The wastewater in wastewater tank 11 had a concentration of NH4 + -N of 100 mg / L, which was continuously injected into reactor 1 by water inlet pump 2. Under the dual action of microbial consumption and reactor 1 self-dilution, the concentration of NH4 + -N in reactor 1 was maintained at 10 mg / L, and the concentration of DO was controlled to be 1.30 mg / L (in actual work, the fitted value is not easy to control, so the close value is taken, which has little effect on the results). The nitrogen components in the effluent of reactor 1 were measured every day for 100 days, and the NRR was calculated.
[0031] During the operation of reactor 1, the effluent NH4 + -N, NO2 - -N and NO3 -NH4-N concentration was 10.58±3.70, 1.78±0.54 and 14.47±1.70 mg / L, respectively, and the actual NRR reached 1206.03±56.56 mgN / m 2 The results were consistent with the ammonia-oxygen synergistic PN / A denitrification law.
[0032] Example 4:
[0033] The device and method of Example 2 were used to denitrify wastewater containing NH4 + -N. The effective volume of reactor 1 was 5 L, and the HRT of reactor 1 was controlled to be 9 h by controlling the flow of water inlet pump 2. The temperature of reactor 1 was controlled to be 25°C. The filler 9 was taken from the reactor of Example 3, and the relative proportions of Anammox, AOB and NOB were 7.89%, 1.17% and 1.58%, respectively. The filling rate was controlled to be 30%.
[0034] The NH4 + -N concentration of the wastewater in wastewater tank 11 was 100 mg / L, which was continuously injected into reactor 1 through water inlet pump 2. Under the dual action of microbial consumption and reactor 1 self-dilution, the NH4 + -N concentration in reactor 1 was maintained at 5 mg / L, and the DO concentration was controlled to be 1.00 mg / L. The nitrogen components of the effluent of reactor 1 were determined every day for 100 days, and the NRR was calculated.
[0035] During the operation of reactor 1, the NH4 + -N, NO2 - -N and NO3 - -N concentration was 4.53±3.18, 1.55±0.24 and 23.01±1.28 mg / L, respectively, and the actual NRR reached 1053.53±47.99 mgN / m 2 / d, which was close to the theoretical value, and the results were consistent with the ammonia-oxygen synergistic PN / A denitrification law.
[0036] Compared with Example 3, in this example, as the NH4 + -N concentration in reactor 1 decreased, the NRR decreased. The main reason was that the inhibitory effect of NOB decreased, and the advantage of NOB competing with Anammox for NO2 - -N increased, resulting in a decrease in NRR. The results were consistent with the change law in Table 1.
[0037] The above results show that by coordinately controlling the NH4 + -N and DO concentrations, the inhibition of NOB is achieved, and it is more suitable to be applied in wastewater treatment facilities with low NH4 + -N concentration. Compared with controlling DO or NH4 +Compared with the strategy of N concentration, the application can obtain more long-term stable inhibition effect, and ensure the smooth progress of mainstream PN / A denitrification process. Compared with the batch FA or FNA inhibition strategy, it is easier to realize in the municipal wastewater treatment plant, and the operation is simple.
