Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and specifically relates to a device and method for efficiently removing nitrogen and phosphorus from seawater aquaculture tail water. Background Art

[0002] By the end of 2023, all coastal provinces in my country have promulgated marine aquaculture effluent discharge standards. Taking Shandong Province as an example, its first-level standard requires a total nitrogen emission concentration limit of 3.0 mg / L and a total phosphorus emission concentration limit of 0.5 mg / L. The second-level standard requires a total nitrogen emission concentration limit of 5.0 mg / L and a total phosphorus emission concentration limit of 1.0 mg / L. Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations are important factors that limit the discharge of marine aquaculture effluents to meet the standards.

[0003] Marine aquaculture tailwater has the characteristics of high salinity, high ion concentration, low C / N, and the nitrogen concentration in the tailwater fluctuates with the feeding time, which limits the efficiency of biological denitrification and phosphorus removal. Biological denitrification has the characteristics of low cost and high efficiency. It is the main denitrification method for marine aquaculture tailwater, but carbon sources need to be added to improve the denitrification efficiency of tailwater. Traditional carbon sources such as sodium acetate, glucose, methanol, etc. can effectively improve the denitrification efficiency, but the fluctuation of nitrogen concentration in tailwater will lead to insufficient denitrification efficiency or cause secondary pollution. For example, the sulfate concentration in marine aquaculture tailwater is high, which is easy to generate toxic sulfides. Using solid degradable polymers as carbon sources can improve the denitrification efficiency of aquaculture tailwater, but the cost is relatively high. For example, one ton of polycaprolactone can reach tens of thousands of yuan. Using elemental sulfur particles as solid electron donors, the aquaculture tailwater denitrification process is achieved through the sulfur autotrophic denitrification process, which can realize the ready-to-use electrons. It has been widely used for denitrification of low C / N wastewater. However, when used for denitrification of marine aquaculture tailwater, the low solubility of elemental sulfur particles leads to slow growth of elemental sulfur biofilm, and the high dissolved oxygen concentration in the aquaculture tailwater leads to low elemental sulfur utilization rate, which limits the application of sulfur autotrophic denitrification in marine aquaculture tailwater. In addition, the sulfur autotrophic denitrification process has almost no removal effect on total phosphorus, which further limits the application of sulfur autotrophic denitrification technology in marine aquaculture tailwater. Therefore, in the process of treating marine aquaculture tailwater with sulfur autotrophic denitrification technology, there are problems such as low elemental sulfur utilization rate and poor denitrification and phosphorus removal effects caused by the low solubility of elemental sulfur particles and high dissolved oxygen in the tailwater. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a highly efficient denitrification and dephosphorization device for marine aquaculture tail water, which has high sulfide and phosphorus adsorption capacity and good treatment effect. The present invention also provides a highly efficient denitrification and dephosphorization method for marine aquaculture tail water.

[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the secondary modified biochar is: soaking agricultural waste in an alkaline solution for alkaline modification, then thermally cracking to obtain biochar, soaking the biochar in a metal ion solution, and drying to obtain the secondary modified biochar.

[0010] Preferably, the agricultural waste is one or both of corn cobs and corn stalks.

[0011] Preferably, the alkaline solution is a 0.1-0.2 mol / L NaOH solution, and the immersion time in the alkaline solution is 1-2 h.

[0012] Preferably, the thermal cracking temperature is 600-700°C.

[0013] Preferably, the metal ion solution is a FeCl3 solution or an AlCl3 solution with a concentration of 0.1-0.2 mol / L.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the cathode region is connected to the water inlet distribution area, and the bottom of the anode region is connected to the water outlet aeration area.

[0015] Preferably, the water inlet distribution area is arranged at the lower part of the cathode area, and is an inverted cone structure, which is filled with large-particle fillers, and the water inlet distribution area and the cathode area are separated by a porous partition. The large-particle fillers are preferably pebbles, which are used to evenly disperse the seawater aquaculture tail water in the device and improve the treatment efficiency; the outlet aeration area is provided with a microporous aeration device at the water inlet, which is used to further remove the by-products such as sulfide and ammonia nitrogen that may appear in the tail water after passing through the denitrification and phosphorus removal functional area, and minimize the by-products of seawater aquaculture tail water treatment. The microporous aeration device is preferably an aeration disk.

[0016] The method for efficiently removing nitrogen and phosphorus from seawater aquaculture tail water of the present invention is to process the seawater aquaculture tail water through the above-mentioned device, and sequentially through the cathode area and the anode area.

[0018] 1. The solar panel is equipped with a storage battery, which acts as a DC power source and saves electricity costs;

[0019] 2. The solar panel stably transports electrons to the cathode area through an external circuit.

[0020] 3. The anode area is filled with secondary modified biochar. Alkali modification will destroy the smooth structure of the surface of agricultural waste and increase its pore structure and specific surface area. The specific surface area and the content of metal oxide functional groups of metal ion modified biochar are improved, which improves the adsorption capacity of biochar for phosphorus and sulfide. The secondary modification increases the surface micropores, mesopore ratio and functional group content of biochar, effectively adsorbing phosphate in wastewater and sulfide / polysulfide produced in the cathode area, reducing secondary pollution.
