Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for recycling sludge. Background Art
[0002] Phosphorus resources are an indispensable element for all organisms. They are also essential substances for energy metabolism and key components of cell structures, playing a vital role in life activities. Currently, phosphorus in industrial and agricultural products mainly comes from the extraction of phosphate rock. However, as a non-renewable resource, the global proven reserves of phosphate rock are expected to be exhausted within 280 years. As the scarcity of phosphate rock resources continues to increase, the risk of resource loss and depletion is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] Sludge is a byproduct of the main process of sewage treatment. It has a complex composition. It contains harmful substances such as heavy metals and pathogens, and is rich in organic matter such as proteins, polysaccharides, and humus (accounting for 40% to 80% of the dry weight of sludge), as well as inorganic resources such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Among them, about 90% of the phosphorus in sewage is enriched in sludge, accounting for 2% to 5% of the dry weight of sludge. In order to meet the increasingly stringent sewage treatment discharge standards, iron and aluminum-based flocculants are often added during sewage treatment to enhance the removal of phosphorus. Therefore, the phosphorus in sludge mainly exists in the form of inorganic phosphorus (accounting for more than 50%) and organic phosphorus. Inorganic phosphorus is mainly combined with metal ions such as iron, magnesium, aluminum, and calcium, or exists in an adsorbed state on the surface of metal oxides. In summary, sludge is a potential carbon and phosphorus resource bank that needs to be explored and utilized. Therefore, sludge needs to be properly disposed of to achieve its stabilization, harmlessness and resource utilization.
[0004] Sludge anaerobic fermentation technology has been widely used due to its significant reduction effect, stable harmless treatment capacity, short operation cycle, resource utilization potential, low energy consumption and economic sustainability. However, the stable structure of colloidal extracellular polymers (EPS) and semi-rigid cell structures (cell walls and cell membranes) in sludge limits the release of soluble organic matter in sludge from the solid phase to the liquid phase, limiting the hydrolysis efficiency, which in turn leads to low bioconversion efficiency of organic matter.
[0005] In the process of anaerobic sludge resource utilization, the mainstream strategy for sludge phosphorus recovery is to rely mainly on pretreatment technology to break up and solubilize the sludge. Subsequently, in the anaerobic reaction, inorganic phosphorus (mainly iron phosphorus) or organic phosphorus in the solid phase can be released into the liquid phase through biological hydrolysis or biological reduction. Finally, phosphorus is recovered from the liquid phase after the reaction. In order to improve the release and resource efficiency of carbon and phosphorus in the anaerobic resource utilization process, the existing technology has developed a combined process for simultaneously strengthening sludge anaerobic resource utilization and phosphorus release. However, this process has many limitations: on the one hand, in the anaerobic resource process, the release efficiency of organic phosphorus in sludge is mainly limited by sludge hydrolysis, which hinders the dissolution and release of intracellular polyphosphate and extracellular organic phosphorus, making the release efficiency of organic phosphorus and soluble organic matter low and the time period long, and then the concentration of organic phosphorus hydrolyzed into phosphate in the supernatant is low. On the other hand, inorganic phosphorus such as magnesium, aluminum, calcium phosphorus in sludge is difficult to be effectively released through biological action in the anaerobic resource process; in addition, the sludge carbon resource process is inconsistent with the optimal conditions (such as pH value and release cycle) required for the efficient release of iron phosphorus and organic phosphorus, and the existing process is more biased towards carbon resource, resulting in poor timeliness of phosphorus release and recovery. At the same time, some metal ions released by hydrolysis and digestion in the supernatant will re-fix the released phosphorus into the solid phase under precipitation, further reducing the release efficiency of phosphorus, and sometimes unable to meet the minimum economic requirements for phosphorus recovery (<100mg / L), and ultimately unable to efficiently recover carbon and phosphorus resources simultaneously in the anaerobic resource process of sludge.
[0006] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN114195341A, publication date: March 18, 2022) discloses an enhanced pretreatment method for improving the anaerobic methanogenesis efficiency and phosphorus availability of excess sludge. This method uses citric acid or citrate and calcium hydroxide to jointly pretreat excess sludge, which can effectively promote the anaerobic digestion and methane production of sludge. Its advantage is to strengthen the lysis of sludge flocs and cells, dissolve more organic matter, thereby shortening the anaerobic digestion and methane production cycle, and significantly increase the effective phosphorus content in digested sludge that is easily absorbed by plants. However, the phosphorus resource precipitate formed by this method is mixed with the sludge, which makes the recovery of phosphorus precipitate more difficult, the recovery rate is low, and the recovery cost of phosphorus-containing minerals is high. In this patented technology, phosphorus coexists with metal ions in the same environment after release and fails to be separated in time, resulting in the failure to effectively recover phosphorus.
[0007] The Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN113087333A, publication date: July 9, 2021) proposes a resource-based process for simultaneously strengthening anaerobic acid production and phosphorus recovery in sludge. The process first pre-treats the sludge with heat-activated persulfate, adjusts the pH, and then performs anaerobic acid fermentation, followed by solid-liquid separation. Magnesium salt is added to the separated phosphorus-rich fermentation broth and the pH value is adjusted. The phosphorus in the filtrate is recovered in the form of struvite crystals, and the recovered filtrate is returned to the sewage treatment plant as a carbon source. However, this method has some limitations. First, the thermal hydrolysis activation technology consumes a lot of energy, resulting in high operating costs; on the other hand, the release of phosphorus mainly depends on iron-rich sludge dominated by Fe-P (iron phosphorus). For sludge with a high proportion of aluminum phosphorus and calcium phosphorus, the phosphorus release effect is poor, so the application range of this method is relatively narrow. Although the heat-activated persulfate combined with solid-liquid separation technology in this patented technology can achieve the separation of phosphorus and iron ions, the release effect of aluminum phosphorus and calcium phosphorus is poor, and the energy input of the thermal activation process is too high.
[0008] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN113772906A, publication date: December 10, 2021) proposes a method for strengthening sludge bioresource utilization by pretreatment with acidic ion exchange resin. The process adds acidic ion exchange resin to the sludge, adjusts the sludge to its isoelectric point, and then separates the pretreated sludge from the resin through a sieve. The separated resin can be recycled after acid regeneration, and the pretreated sludge is adjusted to a neutral pH and enters the subsequent anaerobic fermentation acid production or anaerobic digestion methane production process to generate anaerobic fermentation sludge. Next, the anaerobic fermentation sludge is separated into solid and liquid, the filtrate is collected, and magnesium salt is added to it, the pH is adjusted, and struvite precipitation is formed to recover phosphorus. The remaining filtrate is returned to the sewage treatment plant to achieve carbon recovery. This method has the advantages of promoting the hydrolysis of extracellular polymers (EPS) and removing metals, and can achieve efficient release of phosphorus and high value-added recovery during biological treatment. However, this method has some shortcomings: the acidic ion exchange resin used has a small particle size and is easily clogged by sludge, and the operation process is complicated and difficult to completely recover through the screen. This leads to a low recovery rate and recycling rate of the ion exchange resin, which in turn increases the economic cost and makes it lack feasibility in engineering applications. Although the acidic ion exchange resin in this patented technology can be used to capture metal ions and simultaneously achieve efficient release of comprehensive phosphorus and high value-added recovery in the biological treatment process. However, in actual applications, it has limitations such as small particle size, easy clogging, and complex operation, and lacks feasibility in engineering applications.
[0009] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN117327746A, publication date: January 12, 2024) proposes a method for strengthening the anaerobic fermentation of excess sludge to simultaneously produce short-chain fatty acids (VFAs) and phosphorus-containing minerals. This method strengthens the anaerobic fermentation process of sludge and simultaneously generates phosphorus-containing minerals by adding different concentrations of magnesium ferrate. This technology has significant advantages, including accelerating sludge hydrolysis, improving the biodegradability of sludge, and producing high-quality short-chain fatty acids (VFAs). However, the precipitate of phosphorus-containing minerals (such as blue iron ore and magnesium ammonium phosphate) generated by this method is mixed with the fermented sludge, resulting in a complicated subsequent recovery process of phosphorus-containing minerals and low recovery efficiency, which in turn increases the cost of phosphorus-containing mineral recovery. In this patented technology, magnesium ferrate only promotes sludge hydrolysis, but no separable phosphorus-containing minerals are obtained in the end.
[0010] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN118028385A, publication date: May 14, 2024) discloses a method for enhancing the anaerobic fermentation of excess sludge to produce short-chain fatty acids. This method effectively promotes the dissolution of soluble substrates and the production of short-chain fatty acids (VFAs) by adding sodium percarbonate. This technology has the advantages of a wide pH range and easy in-situ activation and sludge breaking. However, this method also has some shortcomings: on the one hand, its cost is relatively high; on the other hand, it does not involve the enhanced release and recovery of phosphorus in the sludge. In this patented technology, sodium percarbonate promotes sludge digestion through the oxidation of peroxide, but does not involve the release and recovery of phosphorus.
[0011] In the study by Wang et al. (Wang, F., Ma, S., Han, X., Liu, S. and Sun, K. 2024. Enhancing Phosphorus Release from Sewage Sludge in Anaerobic Digestion via Thermal Hydrolysis Pretreatment: Insights from Phosphorus Speciation and Molecular Biological Pathways. Environmental Science & Technology 58 (24), 10828-10838.), thermal hydrolysis pretreatment can enhance the release of phosphorus in sludge during anaerobic digestion. During the subsequent anaerobic fermentation, the phosphorus concentration in the liquid phase of the sludge treated with 170 ° C thermal hydrolysis increased significantly by 53.8% in the early stage of fermentation (within 3 days). However, during the subsequent 17-day anaerobic digestion process, due to the influence of metal precipitation, the phosphorus concentration in the supernatant gradually decreased, and finally fell below the initial concentration before anaerobic digestion. Although the thermal hydrolysis pretreatment in this technology can enhance the release of organic phosphorus and some inorganic phosphorus in the sludge during anaerobic digestion, it fails to achieve immediate and effective recovery of phosphorus. Ultimately, the phosphorus in the sludge still returns to the sludge in the form of precipitation.
[0012] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN115974350A, publication date: April 18, 2023) discloses a method for enhancing phosphorus release from excess sludge using ascorbic acid. Fe(III)-P in the sludge is reduced to Fe(II)-P by ascorbic acid, which dissolves under acidic conditions and releases Fe 2+ and PO 4 3- -P, Mg-P and Ca-P are partially dissolved and released due to the complexation of ascorbic acid. Then solid-liquid separation is carried out. In the separated phosphorus-rich fermentation broth, the molar ratio of ferrous iron and phosphate is adjusted to 1.5, and the pH value is further adjusted, and finally the phosphorus in the filtrate is recovered in the form of blue iron ore. This method can increase the release efficiency of phosphorus in the residual sludge to 45% to 50%. This process is simple and easy to operate, and has good environmental benefits. However, this method also has some limitations: first, a large amount of ascorbic acid needs to be added, resulting in high costs; secondly, this method is mainly suitable for sludge with high iron and phosphorus content, and its phosphorus release effect is poor for sludge with high aluminum and phosphorus content, so the scope of technical application is relatively narrow. In addition, this method only focuses on the recovery of phosphorus in sludge, and fails to fully explore the recycling value of carbon resources in the residual sludge after phosphorus release. In this patent, ascorbic acid has a good phosphorus release effect on iron-rich sludge, but is not applicable to aluminum sludge, has a narrow scope of application, and does not consider the release of organic phosphorus and the subsequent resource utilization of sludge.
[0013] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN116903206A, publication date: October 20, 2023) discloses a sludge treatment agent, its preparation method and application. This method can achieve a phosphorus release efficiency of more than 75% in the residual sludge by synergistically using organic acid citric acid, reducing agent ascorbic acid and metal chelating agent EDTA to complex with various metal ions in the sludge. However, if any of these three substances is missing, the phosphorus release rate will be significantly reduced. Despite this, there are some problems with this method: on the one hand, the addition of toxic EDTA may have an adverse effect on the subsequent resource utilization of the sludge; on the other hand, the simultaneous use of these three chemicals significantly increases the cost of enhancing the release of phosphorus from the residual sludge, making it economically unfeasible. This patented technology uses organic acid citric acid, reducing agent ascorbic acid and metal chelating agent EDTA in a synergistic manner. Although it has certain advantages in phosphorus release efficiency, its comprehensive economic cost is relatively high, which limits the possibility of large-scale application and does not consider the release of organic phosphorus in sludge. In addition, the biological toxicity of EDTA will have an adverse effect on the subsequent resource utilization of sludge, thus bringing potential environmental risks. Therefore, this combination does not have sufficient practicality and scalability in actual applications.
[0014] A Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN113173648A, publication date: July 27, 2021) discloses a method for preparing blue iron ore by removing phosphorus at low cost and high efficiency. An iron-reducing bacteria-iron mineral system consisting of iron-reducing bacteria, iron minerals, electron shuttles and carbon sources is added to water or phosphate-containing wastewater, the pH of the reaction system is maintained at 6-8 and in an anaerobic environment, the reaction system is allowed to settle, and the sludge containing a large amount of blue iron ore at the bottom is discharged through a sludge discharge pipe. Although this method uses biological methods to recover phosphorus and reduce production costs, the method has some limitations: the activity of iron-reducing bacteria is limited to a narrow environmental window of redox potential (-200 to -300 mV) and pH (6.5 to 7.5), and the fluctuation of microbial electron transfer efficiency and sulfide competitive inhibition (FeS precipitation) are not suitable for complex systems, resulting in poor stability of phosphorus recovery efficiency. In this patented technology, the iron-reducing bacteria-iron mineral system recovers phosphorus by breaking the Fe-P chemical bond through dissimilatory iron reduction, which has the advantage of reducing water treatment costs, but the recovery efficiency is jointly regulated by electron transfer efficiency, competitive reactions and environmental factors.
[0015] In summary: Existing technologies generally face problems such as low efficiency, high cost, limited applicability, complex operation and environmental risks in the recovery of carbon and phosphorus resources from residual sludge. Most traditional simultaneous intensification processes are incompatible with the kinetic conditions of carbon resource utilization and inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus release processes, and there are differences in parameters such as optimal release time and optimal pH value. Although these technologies can achieve simultaneous intensification to a certain extent, their optimal conditions are mainly aimed at enhancing carbon resource efficiency and fail to fully match the optimal parameters of phosphorus release, and cannot synergistically improve the release and recovery efficiency of carbon and phosphorus. The key restricting factor for the release efficiency of organic phosphorus and carbon in the anaerobic resource utilization process is sludge hydrolysis, and its efficiency is doubly limited by the mass transfer barrier formed by the network colloidal extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the sludge matrix and the semi-rigid structure of the cell wall / membrane, which significantly hinders the dissolution and release of carbon resources, intracellular polyphosphate and extracellular organic phosphorus in the sludge, resulting in low release efficiency of organic phosphorus and soluble organic matter and prolonged cycle. Moreover, the existing process mainly relies on the dissimilatory iron reduction mechanism of iron-phosphorus in inorganic phosphorus, and the activity of iron-reducing bacteria is limited by the narrow environmental window of redox potential and pH, the fluctuation of microbial electron transfer efficiency and the competitive inhibition of sulfide in complex systems, resulting in unstable phosphorus release efficiency and large fluctuations in the process of biological reduction of iron-phosphorus. In addition, a good temporal synergistic connection has not been formed between the nitrogen and phosphorus resource utilization pathways, resulting in the failure to separate phosphorus in the liquid phase in time after phosphorus release. Metal ions (Fe, Al, Ca, Mg) re-fix phosphorus components through precipitation during the anaerobic process, resulting in phosphorus heavy precipitation and difficulty in separating mud-phosphorus, resulting in low phosphorus release rate and recovery rate. In addition, the existing process lacks the enhanced release of aluminum / calcium / magnesium-bound inorganic phosphorus, resulting in a relatively low overall phosphorus release effect. In summary, the release of phosphorus and carbon in sludge is limited by intracellular / extracellular mass transfer barriers. In addition, phosphorus release is also limited by fluctuations in microbial electron transfer efficiency, metal precipitation, and lack of quality control of different forms of phosphorus, which ultimately restricts the efficient release of phosphorus in the anaerobic process of sludge and the synergistic recovery efficiency with high value-added products (such as acid and methane). At the same time, the existing technology still has many shortcomings, such as the reliance on high-dose peroxidant addition and complex solid-liquid separation process to enhance the release of organic phosphorus and carbon resource recovery, resulting in excessively high process costs, high energy consumption, low carbon and phosphorus release and recovery efficiency, and limited technical application scope. These factors together make it difficult for the existing technology to meet actual needs in terms of synergistically improving carbon and phosphorus release efficiency, cost control, applicability and environmental friendliness.
[0016] Therefore, the present invention aims to design a new method to specifically improve the release efficiency of phosphorus in different forms in sludge, enhance the efficient release and recovery of inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus in the biological treatment process, while taking into account the recovery of high value-added products (such as acid and methane), and ultimately synergistically enhance the release and recovery of carbon and phosphorus resources in residual sludge to overcome the limitations of the existing technology. Summary of the invention
[0017] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for cascade-enhanced efficient release and resource utilization of carbon and phosphorus in sludge.
[0018] The present invention discloses a method for step-by-step intensification of efficient release and resource utilization of carbon and phosphorus in sludge, which specifically improves the release efficiency of phosphorus in different forms in sludge, realizes efficient release of inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus through the synergistic effect of multiple steps, and simultaneously synergistically improves efficient release and resource recovery of carbon (such as acid and methane), thereby improving the overall resource recovery efficiency of carbon and phosphorus in residual sludge, and comprises the following steps:
[0019] 1. Sludge pretreatment:
[0020] The sludge in the secondary sedimentation tank of the sewage treatment plant is screened to remove impurities, then refrigerated and left to stand for a period of time, and the supernatant is removed by siphoning or decanting, and the removed supernatant is collected to obtain supernatant I and concentrated residual sludge I;
[0021] 2. Green chelating agent pretreatment to enhance the release of inorganic phosphorus:
[0022] Adding a green chelating agent to the concentrated excess sludge I, stirring evenly, and then placing the concentrated excess sludge in a constant temperature incubator to react for a period of time to obtain sludge pretreated with the green chelating agent;
[0023] 3. Inorganic phosphorus recovery:
[0024] ①, centrifuge or filter press the sludge pretreated with the green chelating agent to obtain liquid II and solid II;
[0025] ②, adding calcium-based metal salt to liquid II, so that the molar ratio of calcium to phosphorus in liquid II is (0.5-3):1, adjusting the pH value of liquid II to 6-13, then stirring for a period of time, then standing for a period of time, and finally centrifuging to collect the phosphorus precipitate solid and supernatant III;
[0026] 4. Sludge resuspension:
[0027] ①. Mix the supernatant III and the supernatant I, and then use the mixed solution to dissolve the solid II, so that the solid content of the solid II is 0.5% to 10%, and then transfer it to the anaerobic fermentation tank;
[0028] 5. Peroxidant-enhanced sludge solubilization and hydrolysis:
[0029] The pH value of the sludge in the anaerobic fermentation tank is adjusted to 6-7.5, and then a peroxidant is added to react at 25-35°C for a period of time to obtain the reacted sludge;
[0030] 6. Anaerobic resource utilization:
[0031] Adding inoculated sludge to the reacted sludge obtained in step 5, adjusting the pH value to 7, introducing nitrogen into the anaerobic fermentation tank for a period of time, and then covering the reactor with a sealing plug to keep the reactor in an anaerobic state, reacting at 30° C. to 37° C. for 2 to 40 days to obtain a reacted sludge mixture;
[0032] 7. Recycling of carbon and phosphorus resources:
[0033] ①, centrifuging or filtering the sludge mixture after the reaction obtained in step 6 to obtain residual solids and filtrate I;
[0034] ②. Add ferrous salt to the filtrate I obtained in step seven ①, and then use alkali solution to adjust the pH value to 5-9, react under anaerobic conditions for 0.5h-2h, and then age for 0.5h-2h under nitrogen or argon conditions, and then use centrifugal treatment or filter press to separate the solid and liquid to obtain blue iron ore and filtrate II. Filtrate II is refluxed to the mainstream sewage treatment plant as a carbon source to supplement the carbon source. The blue iron ore is vacuum dried at 35°C-60°C.
[0035] Purpose of the present invention:
[0036] The present invention aims at the key technical bottlenecks such as the existing synchronous enhanced sludge anaerobic resource utilization and phosphorus release technology, which is biased towards carbon resource utilization due to the optimal conditions, the lack of temporal synergy of the nitrogen and phosphorus resource utilization path, the poor adaptability of the polymorphic metal phosphorus form, the insufficient stability of iron-phosphorus biological reduction phosphorus release, and the low efficiency and long time of organic phosphorus release, resulting in the synergistic improvement of carbon and phosphorus release rate and recovery rate. The innovative "metal complex stripping-inorganic phosphorus recovery-organic matter release-carbon conversion and organic phosphorus recovery" cascade synergistic process system is proposed. The present invention first undergoes metal complex stripping-inorganic phosphorus recovery, then adds a peroxidant to the sludge that releases inorganic phosphorus and metal ions, and then performs anaerobic resource utilization, which can achieve efficient release of inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus in the sludge and improve the carbon resource utilization efficiency, thereby significantly synergistically improving the overall resource utilization efficiency of carbon and phosphorus release in the residual sludge. In addition, the method is not limited to the product form of carbon resource fixation, which can not only improve the acid production efficiency of the anaerobic fermentation process, but also improve the methane content of anaerobic digestion. If this addition sequence is changed, there is no synergistic improvement in efficiency. The present invention adopts green chelating agent to selectively dissociate metal-phosphorus composite structure, and realizes efficient release of multi-phase inorganic phosphorus forms. Secondly, the timing synergy of nitrogen and phosphorus resource utilization path is optimized to ensure timely and efficient recovery of phosphorus and metal ions in liquid phase after phosphorus release, block metal ion reprecipitation and re-fix phosphorus components, thereby reducing phosphorus heavy precipitation and mud-phosphorus difficult separation phenomenon, and improving phosphorus release and recovery rate. Then, peroxidant technology is used to crack the sludge after the disintegration of metal skeleton, more strongly break the EPS barrier and cell wall rigid structure, drive carbon-phosphorus metabolism synergy, strengthen organic matter conversion and organic phosphorus release, and realize the synergistic improvement of carbon and phosphorus release and resource utilization in sludge. This technology specifically improves the release efficiency of phosphorus in different occurrence forms in sludge, realizes the efficient release of inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus through the synergistic effect of multiple steps, and simultaneously strengthens the recovery of carbon resource (such as acid, methane), synergistically improves the overall resource efficiency of carbon and phosphorus in residual sludge, and realizes the dual goals of efficient phosphorus recovery and high-value conversion of carbon source. The pretreatment of peroxidant with acidic substances and citric acid in the present invention has a significant synergistic improvement effect in strengthening the anaerobic fermentation of sludge to produce volatile fatty acids. Compared with other existing methods of promoting anaerobic fermentation of sludge to produce volatile fatty acids with peroxidants, this method can significantly reduce the dosage of peroxidant, thereby greatly reducing the process cost. In addition, the method can also efficiently recover phosphorus precipitates and realize efficient resource utilization of sludge. The method of the present invention optimizes the process flow, reduces energy consumption and process costs, and makes the carbon and phosphorus synergistic recovery technology more economically feasible and meets actual needs. At the same time, this method is a phosphorus recovery technology suitable for a wide spectrum of sludge types and conditions with different metal phosphorus occurrence forms, which broadens the application scope of the technology, while reducing process costs and simplifying recovery operations, providing an efficient and low-consumption engineering solution for sludge resource utilization.
[0037] Advantages of the present invention:
[0038] 1. Efficient release of polymorphic phosphorus: The present invention uses green chelating agents to selectively dissociate metal-phosphorus composite structures to achieve efficient release of polymorphic inorganic phosphorus forms, breaking through the limitations of traditional technologies such as poor adaptability to polymorphic metal phosphorus and insufficient stability of iron phosphorus release through biological reduction, and significantly improving the release efficiency of inorganic phosphorus. In addition, the sludge after the metal skeleton is disintegrated is cracked by peroxidation technology, breaking the EPS barrier and the rigid structure of the cell wall, strengthening the conversion of organic matter and the release of organic phosphorus, and significantly improving the release efficiency of organic phosphorus. This technology can increase the phosphorus release efficiency to 40% to 80%.
[0039] 2. Optimize the synergy of resource recovery paths: The present invention optimizes the timing synergy of nitrogen and phosphorus resource recovery paths to ensure that phosphorus and metal ions in the liquid phase after phosphorus release can be promptly recovered and separated from the sludge phase, effectively blocking the reprecipitation of metal ions and re-fixing phosphorus components in the sludge phase, reducing phosphorus reprecipitation and the phenomenon of mud-phosphorus separation, thereby significantly improving phosphorus release and recovery rate. The recovery process of the present invention is simple, the loss rate is low, and the phosphorus recovery rate can be as high as 80% to 99.5%, which has significant advantages.
[0040] 3. Achievement of dual goals - synergistic improvement of carbon and phosphorus resource utilization: The present invention realizes the efficient release of inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus through multi-step synergistic action, while taking into account the recovery of high value-added products (such as acid and methane), improving the overall resource efficiency, and achieving the dual goals of efficient phosphorus recovery and high-value carbon source conversion. In addition, sludge that has been pH-adjusted and pretreated with citric acid and peroxidizers such as sodium percarbonate show good synergistic improvement effects in enhancing anaerobic fermentation acid production. Compared with the existing single technology, the acid production efficiency has been increased by more than 1.4-3 times; and compared with sludge that has not undergone any pretreatment, the acid production efficiency has been increased by more than 14 times.
[0041] 4. Economic feasibility and broad-spectrum applicability: The present invention reduces energy consumption and process costs by optimizing the process flow, making phosphorus recovery technology more economically feasible and meeting actual needs. The technology is applicable to a wide range of sludge types and conditions with different metallic phosphorus occurrence forms, broadens the scope of application of the technology, simplifies the recovery operation, and provides an efficient and low-cost engineering solution for sludge resource utilization.
[0042] 5. Process innovation and qualitative improvement: The present invention innovatively proposes a cascade collaborative process system of "metal complex stripping-inorganic phosphorus recovery-organic matter release-carbon conversion and organic phosphorus recovery". Through the synergistic effect of multiple steps, it significantly improves the release efficiency of phosphorus in different forms in sludge, as well as the synergistic improvement of carbon and phosphorus resources in the anaerobic resource utilization process of sludge, thus realizing the process innovation from quantitative change to qualitative change.
[0043] In summary, the present invention provides an efficient, low-consumption, and broad-spectrum engineering solution for sludge resource utilization by efficiently releasing polymorphic phosphorus, optimizing the synergy of resource utilization pathways, achieving synergistic improvement of carbon and phosphorus resource utilization, improving economic feasibility and applicability, and innovating processes and improving qualitative changes.

Figure 7 At the same time, the total amount of VFAs in the sludge of Example 7 and Example 6 reached 89.5 mg / g VSS and 205.48 mg / g VSS, respectively, which was 3.5 times and 1.5 times higher than that of Comparative Example 2 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown).

[0246] After 12 days of anaerobic fermentation, the PO content in the supernatant of each group 4 3- -P concentration gradually increased with the fermentation process. 4 3- The highest concentration of -P was 172 mg / L, which was 16.2% and 10.9% higher than that of Example 6 and Example 7, respectively, indicating that sodium percarbonate enhancement and metal ion removal can synergistically increase the PO in the supernatant. 4 3- -P concentration (such as Fig. 9 ). Fig.10 The change in phosphorus content in the solid phase shows that it is mainly due to the release of organic phosphorus in the sludge during anaerobic biological treatment, which leads to an increase in the concentration of organic phosphorus in the supernatant. The reason may be that, for phosphorus release, on the one hand, citric acid pretreatment and pre-solid-liquid separation can enhance the hydrolysis of organic matter while promoting the hydrolysis and release of organic phosphorus and removing inorganic phosphorus and metal ions, hindering the combination of metal and phosphorus. On the other hand, sodium percarbonate enhances the solubilization, rupture and hydrolysis efficiency of sludge through its oxidation, and enhances the further release of organic phosphorus in the sludge.

The recovery rates of phosphorus and ferrous iron are 83.1% and 93%, respectively, indicating the feasibility of recovering the two elements. XRD characterization shows that the blue iron ore is successfully recovered (e.g. Fig.11 shown).
