Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of water pollution prevention and control, and relates to a microbial carrier applied when adopting the technology of upgrading and expanding the standard without land acquisition for rural sewage treatment, urban sewage treatment, industrial sewage treatment and aquaculture tail water treatment. Background Art

[0002] There are many current sewage treatment technologies and processes, and the commonly used ones include the activated sludge method, the oxidation ditch method, membrane treatment, etc. Among them, the activated sludge method has the largest total amount and the widest range. With the continuous increase in the scale of sewage treatment, it is imperative to upgrade and transform sewage treatment plants. The annual upgrade and transformation demand in cities such as Jinan, Qingdao, and Zhengzhou alone exceeds 600,000 tons, and the upgrade and transformation demand in cities such as Shanghai, Suzhou, and Shenzhen exceeds 1 million tons. However, the current sewage treatment plants using the activated sludge method are facing great difficulties such as difficult land acquisition, tight funds, and overly long transformation cycles, which limit the progress of this work. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a microbial carrier for sewage treatment based on the resource utilization and improvement of red mud. The microbial carrier is a granular filler based on modified red mud, and the upgrade and transformation of sewage treatment plants are realized on the basis of the traditional activated sludge method. To this end, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0004] A microbial carrier for sewage treatment based on red mud improvement, characterized in that it is prepared by the following method:

[0005] (1) Put red mud with a moisture content of 40%-45% into a ball mill for grinding to preliminarily improve the physical structure of the red mud; then, soak the preliminarily modified red mud with sodium hydroxide solution and then air-dry it naturally to obtain a red mud improvement product;

[0006] (2) Mix the red mud improvement product with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC-Na, snail shell powder, and distiller's grains with a protein content of 15%-20% evenly, then grind the mixed materials, and then process them into 5-8 mm particles by a traditional Chinese medicine pill-making machine, and air-dry them naturally to obtain a microbial carrier for sewage treatment based on red mud improvement.

[0007] On the basis of adopting the above technical solutions, the present invention can also adopt the following further technical solutions, or use a combination of these further technical solutions:

[0008] In step (2), by mass fraction: red mud: 100 parts; sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC-Na 4-6 parts; snail shell powder: 9-11 parts; distiller's grains: 9-11 parts.

[0009] The selected red mud has a moisture content of 40%-45%, the total mass of silicon dioxide, iron(III) oxide, and aluminum(III) oxide accounts for no less than 65% of the solid matter, the total mass of calcium oxide and sodium oxide is no higher than 8%, and the titanium content is between 2% and 8%.

[0010] If the calcium oxide content in the selected red mud is greater than 8%, it needs to be soaked in 5% sulfate for more than 24 hours to precipitate calcium ions to meet the performance of red mud during preliminary modification.

[0011] The selected standard for sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC-Na is medium-substitution sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with 0.7≤DS≤0.9, or high-substitution sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with DS>0.9. Its grade is food-grade sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and its property is pure white. The qualified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC-Na is screened through a 200-mesh stainless steel sieve, and the powder under the sieve is selected for standby.

[0012] The snail shell powder is 200 mesh, and the snail shell is one or a mixture of several of Cipangopaludina chinensis, Cipangopaludina carinatus, Bullacta exarata, or Ostrea rivularis shells. The specified amount of snail shell powder is added to a grinder for grinding, with a set rotation speed of 800 r / min and a grinding time of 30 minutes. After grinding, it is screened through a 200-mesh stainless steel sieve, and the powder under the sieve is selected for standby.

[0013] The selected distiller's grains are one of the distiller's grains after brewing liquor with sorghum, corn, or rice as raw materials. The distiller's grains are put into a hot air drying equipment for drying until the moisture content is less than 10%. Then the distiller's grains are put into a grinder, with a set rotation speed of 800 r / min and a grinding time of 30 minutes. After grinding, it is screened through a 200-mesh stainless steel sieve, and the powder under the sieve is selected for standby.

[0014] The preparation method includes the following specific steps:

[0015] 1) Put the red mud with a moisture content of 40%-45% in the specified weight into a ball mill, add steel balls with a diameter of 3-5 mm according to the mass fraction ratio of 100:18 for grinding. Set the rotation speed at 500 r / min and the grinding time at 3 hours. After grinding, it is screened through a 200-mesh sieve made of stainless steel, and the powder under the sieve is selected for standby;

[0016] 2) Put the powder obtained in step 1) into a sodium hydroxide solution with a mass fraction of 10% for soaking. During the soaking process, a stirrer is used for continuous stirring, with a stirring speed greater than 100 revolutions per minute and a soaking time greater than 8 hours. After soaking, it is naturally dried;

[0017] 3) Put the modified red mud powder, snail shell powder, distiller's grains powder, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose powder into a fully automatic traditional Chinese medicine pill-making machine, set the pill diameter at 6 mm, and set the speed at 500 pills per minute to make a microbial carrier for sewage treatment modified with red mud.

[0018] Red mud is a waste product in the production of aluminum products and a major problem for aluminum mining enterprises. According to statistics, in 2023 alone, the production volume of red mud in China was approximately 107 million tons, and the cumulative stockpile was about 1.1 billion tons. The treatment is extremely difficult. In view of the technical problems and practical difficulties in upgrading and expanding sewage treatment plants, the present invention proposes a microbial carrier based on the resource utilization of mineral waste. Research shows that adding suspended fillers on the basis of the activated sludge process can achieve an 80% expansion capacity without increasing the floor area of the sewage treatment plant, and the effluent index can be improved to the fifth-class surface water level, greatly alleviating the economic and land occupation pressures, and at the same time having better effluent effects. The present invention effectively solves the utilization path of mineral waste, and at the same time solves the technical problems of sewage treatment, and can effectively solve the problems such as difficulty in meeting water quality standards, difficulty in land acquisition, and high construction costs of old sewage treatment plants.
