Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aquaculture wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to a biochar-coupled bacteria-algae granular sludge and a cultivation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aquaculture wastewater contains a large amount of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen (NH4 + -N) and phosphorus (PO4 3- -P) and other pollutants, which are discharged into the surrounding water bodies without treatment, will cause eutrophication of the water bodies and affect the living environment of aquatic organisms. In addition, in the process of aquaculture, quinolone antibiotics (such as enrofloxacin (ENR)) or other drugs are often used to prevent and treat diseases, resulting in antibiotic residues in aquaculture wastewater, endangering ecological safety and human health. Therefore, when treating aquaculture wastewater, it is necessary not only to remove pollutants such as organic matter and ammonia nitrogen, but also to remove antibiotic residues. That is, the efficient removal of complex pollutants has become a key task for protecting the ecological environment and deepening pollution reduction and carbon reduction.

[0003] At present, the main treatment methods for aquaculture wastewater include physical, chemical and biological treatment. Among them, biological treatment methods include activated sludge method, biofilm method, algae treatment method and in-situ treatment using microbial preparations. Activated sludge method is a traditional biological treatment process for aquaculture wastewater, which can effectively remove organic matter and suspended solids in wastewater, and has the advantages of environmental friendliness and sustainability. However, the activated sludge method also has disadvantages. For example, the sludge output of activated sludge method for treating wastewater is large, which will increase the treatment cost and environmental burden. At the same time, it is time-consuming and has limited removal effect on pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Bacteria-algae granular sludge (MBGS) can effectively remove organic matter, ammonia nitrogen and phosphate in sewage, so it has received widespread attention, but there are few reports on the removal of antibiotics using bacteria-algae granular sludge. And with the extension of treatment time, the selection pressure of antibiotics will cause the metabolic activity of bacteria-algae granular sludge to decrease significantly, which will cause fluctuations and instability in antibiotic removal efficiency. In actual operation, pollutants in aquaculture wastewater are continuously input into the treatment system containing only algae granular sludge, and the system lacks a regular renewal or replacement mechanism for algae granular sludge. Therefore, the activity decay problem of algae granular sludge in long-term operation restricts its efficient and stable removal of antibiotic pollutants. Based on this, how to optimize the performance of algae granular sludge to improve its degradation efficiency of antibiotic pollutants and maintain its long-term stability has become a key scientific problem to be solved in the application of algae granular sludge technology in the field of aquaculture wastewater treatment.

[0066] Example 1 Cultivation of Algal-Bacterial Granular Sludge

[0067] The algal-bacterial granular sludge in this example is obtained by mixing the culture solution of Chlorella sp. with the flocculent activated sludge obtained after acclimation culture, and then culturing with simulated wastewater in a photo-sequencing batch reactor. The Chlorella sp. is purchased from the Freshwater Algae Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the algal strain number is FACHB-11. The activated sludge is the activated sludge from the secondary sedimentation tank of a sewage treatment plant. The composition of the simulated wastewater (per 20 L) is as follows:

[0068] 256.41 g CH3COONa, 76.43 g NH4Cl, 6 g CaCl2, 5.0 g MgSO4·7H2O, 4.98 g KH2PO4, 4.87 g K2HPO4, 1.0 mg ZnSO4·7H2O, 1.2 mg Na2Mo7O 24 ·2H2O, 1.2 mg CoCl2·6H2O, 0.38 mg CuSO4, 2 mg MnCl2·4H2O, 1 mg HBO3, 1 mg AlCl3, 0.8 mg NiCl2, 6 mg FeSO4·7H2O, and the rest is water.

[0069] 1. Enrichment culture of Chlorella sp.

[0070] The purchased Chlorella sp. liquid and BG-11 liquid medium are inoculated in sequence at a volume ratio of 1:1, 1:5, and 1:10, and cultured under the conditions of a light intensity of 2000 lux and a temperature of 25 °C. The bottle is manually shaken 3-4 times a day to prevent sticking to the wall. When the OD 680 reaches 1.5, the Chlorella sp. liquid is collected. After cultivation, the volume of the homogeneous Chlorella sp. liquid obtained is about 2 L.

[0071] 2. Acclimation culture of activated sludge

[0072] The initial concentration of the activated sludge collected from the secondary sedimentation tank in this example is 10.0 ± 1.0 g / L, and it is pretreated and then acclimated and cultured.

[0073] The pretreatment method of the activated sludge is as follows: Pass the activated sludge collected from the secondary sedimentation tank through a 100-mesh sieve three times. After it stands still, pour out the supernatant to complete the pretreatment of the activated sludge. The method of its acclimation and culture is as follows: Place the pretreated activated sludge in a photo-sequencing batch reactor. Under the condition of 25 °C, set the influent (the simulated wastewater) for 10 minutes, stand still for 90 minutes, aerate for 210 minutes, precipitate for 40 minutes, drain for 10 minutes, the hydraulic retention time is 12 hours, the aeration volume is controlled at 1 - 5 L / min, and the volume exchange rate is 50%. Continuously acclimate and culture under the above conditions for more than 30 days until its removal rates of COD, NH4 + -N and PO4 3 -P are stable and its MLVSS / MLSS is also stable, obtaining flocculent activated sludge.

[0074] 3. Optimization of the culture conditions of the bacteria-algae granular sludge

[0075] First, set the operation program and time of the photo-sequencing batch reactor, set the influent (the simulated wastewater) for 10 minutes, stand still for 90 minutes, aerate for 210 minutes, precipitate for 40 minutes, drain for 10 minutes; the light / dark cycle is 12 hours of light / 12 hours of dark, the aeration volume is controlled at 1 - 5 L / min, and the light intensity is 4000 lux. Under this condition, mix the flocculent activated sludge obtained from acclimation and culture (the sludge concentration is 4.5 ± 1.0 g / L) and the enriched Chlorella vulgaris liquid (OD 680 is 1.5) at volume ratios of 3:1, 5:1, and 10:1 respectively, and run in the photo-sequencing batch reactor for 30 days to obtain bacteria-algae granular sludge, and monitor its removal efficiency of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus and the average particle size of the particles and other indicators every day.

[0076] Table 1 Influence of the bacteria-algae inoculation ratio on the removal efficiency of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus and the average particle size of the particles

[0077]

[0078] As can be seen from the results shown in Table 1, the optimal bacteria-algae inoculation ratio is 5:1.

[0079] Keep the operation program and time of the photo-sequencing batch reactor unchanged, and mix the flocculent activated sludge obtained from acclimation and culture (the sludge concentration is 4.5 ± 1.0 g / L) and the enriched Chlorella vulgaris liquid (OD 680Mix them in a volume ratio of 5:1, and set the light intensity (the light intensity is achieved by changing the number of LED light strips) to 2500 lux, 1800 lux, and 800 lux respectively. Run in a photo-sequencing batch reactor for 30 days to obtain algal-bacterial granular sludge, and monitor the removal efficiency of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and the average particle size of the particles and other indicators every day.

[0080] Table 2 Effects of light intensity on the removal efficiency of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and the average particle size of particles

[0081]

[0082] It can be seen from the results shown in Table 2 that the optimal light intensity is 1800 lux.

[0083] After optimization, the present invention obtains the optimal conditions for culturing the algal-bacterial granular sludge. On this basis, run the photo-sequencing batch reactor for 20 days according to the optimized conditions and observe that the algal-bacterial granular sludge culture system can be stabilized after 20 days of cultivation. The particle size of the algal-bacterial granular sludge is about 1.5 mm, and the removal rates of COD, NH4 + -N and PO4 3- -P are 79.9±4.0%, 71.9±9.9%, and 62.8±7.0%.

[0084] Finally, using the algal-bacterial granular sludge obtained by running in a photo-sequencing batch reactor for 20 days with an algal-bacterial inoculation ratio of 5:1 and a light intensity of 1800 lux for the subsequent cultivation of algal-based biochar coupled with algal-bacterial granular sludge.

[0085] Example 2 Cultivation of algal-based biochar coupled with algal-bacterial granular sludge

[0086] 1. Preparation of algal-based biochar

[0087] Place the freeze-dried powder of Chlorella powder (FACHB-11) in an 80 °C oven, dry the moisture, then crush it with a pulverizer. The obtained powder is compacted and put into a crucible with a lid, and then the crucible is transferred to a muffle furnace and heated under anoxic nitrogen conditions at a constant temperature (700 °C) for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, take it out, crush and grind it with a pulverizer and pass through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain Chlorella biochar (the algal-based biochar), which is put into a white transparent wide-mouth bottle for standby.

[0088] 2. Optimization of the cultivation conditions of algal-based biochar coupled with algal-bacterial granular sludge

[0089] 2 g, 4 g, 6 g, and 0 g of the algal-based biochar prepared were respectively added to 4 photo-bioreactors of bacteria and algae, i.e., the biochar dosage was set to 1 g / L, 2 g / L, 3 g / L, and 0 g / L (named 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4#). The flocculent activated sludge (sludge concentration was 4.5 ± 1.0 g / L) and the Chlorella vulgaris liquid (OD 680 was 1.5) in the photo-bioreactor had a volume ratio of 5:1. The light intensity was 1800 lux (obtained from the previous cultivation). The operation procedure and time of the photo-batch reactor were as follows: 10 minutes for influent (the simulated wastewater), 90 minutes for static settlement, 210 minutes for aeration, 40 minutes for sedimentation, and 10 minutes for drainage; the light / dark cycle was 12 hours of light / 12 hours of dark, the aeration rate was controlled at 1 - 5 L / min, the volume exchange rate was 50%, and it ran for 20 days; after running for 20 days, salinity acclimation of the bacteria-algae system was carried out, and the salinity was gradually increased from 0.1% to 0.3% (the salinity increased in increments of 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%, and was increased to the next salinity every 7 days of acclimation). After running for 20 days, it continued to run at a salinity of 0.3% for 40 days.

[0090] The mixed liquid suspended solids (MLSS), mixed liquid volatile suspended solids (MLVSS), and chlorophyll a concentration in the 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# reactors were respectively measured at 0 day, 40 days, and 80 days of operation to observe the growth of the bacteria-algae granular sludge. At the same time, an optical microscope and grid paper were used to measure the particle size of the bacteria-algae granular sludge and observe its particle size change.

[0091] (1) Growth of the algal-based biochar coupled with bacteria-algae granular sludge

[0092] After measurement, after running for 40 days, the sludge concentration could be maintained stably. The MLSS of 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# were 4.1 ± 0.2 g / L, 4.8 ± 0.3 g / L, 5.1 ± 0.1 g / L, and 4.6 ± 0.4 g / L respectively, and the MLVSS / MLSS remained above 0.6. This indicated that the activities of the bacteria-algae granular sludge microorganisms in the system were all relatively high.

[0093] The influence of different biochar dosages on the particle size of the bacteria-algae granular sludge is as Figure 2 shown. As Figure 2As can be seen from the results shown, the shapes of the algal-bacterial granular sludge in groups 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# are relatively regular circles and are dark green. After adding biochar to the average algal-bacterial granular sludge in the 4 groups, that is, after 40 days of operation, the sizes increased from 1.11±0.21 mm, 1.37±0.44 mm, 1.07±0.26 mm, and 1.04±0.21 mm to 2.09±0.62 mm, 1.87±0.59 mm, 1.58±0.69 mm, and 1.55±0.86 mm. At the same time, the granules in the experimental groups 1#, 2#, and 3# were significantly larger than those in group 4#, indicating that the coupling of biochar can increase the particle size of algal-bacterial granular sludge and strengthen the aggregation of microorganisms.

[0094] (2) Chlorophyll content changes in algal-based biochar-coupled algal-bacterial granular sludge

[0095] The effects of different biochar dosages on the chlorophyll content in algal-bacterial granular sludge are as Figure 3 shown. As Figure 3 can be seen, after 40 days of operation, the chlorophyll a concentration in group 1# was 7.9±0.2 mg / L, significantly higher than the other 3 groups (p<0.05), indicating that adding appropriate algal-based biochar has a certain promoting effect on the salinity adaptability and growth of microalgae in the system.

[0096] Example 3 Determination of the removal effect of algal-based biological coupling of algal-bacterial granular sludge on antibiotics

[0097] To further explore the removal efficiency of the algal-bacterial granular sludge system coupled with different dosages of algal-based biochar on aquaculture wastewater containing enrofloxacin, experiments were specifically conducted on the removal of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and enrofloxacin in aquaculture wastewater:

[0098] First, after the system had been operating stably for 40 days, the influent water quality in the system was simulated aquaculture wastewater containing enrofloxacin (that is, adding enrofloxacin with a final concentration of 100 μg / L to the simulated wastewater described in this application), the salinity was 0.3%, the operating program and time of the photo-sequencing batch reactor were 10 minutes of influent, 90 minutes of static settlement, 210 minutes of aeration, 40 minutes of precipitation, and 10 minutes of drainage; the light / dark cycle was 12 hours of light / 12 hours of darkness, the aeration volume was controlled at 1 - 5 L / min, and the volume exchange rate was 50%. It was operated for 40 days in total. During the operation process, a high-performance liquid chromatograph was used to measure the removal of enrofloxacin in the wastewater, as well as the removal of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

[0099] 1. Removal efficiency of the algal-based biochar-coupled algal-bacterial granular sludge system on carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus

[0100] Monitor the basic water quality of the influent and effluent of 4 groups of reactors (4 experimental groups of 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# in Example 2) daily, and explore the removal efficiency of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in aquaculture wastewater by the coupled bacteria-algae granular sludge system with different dosages of algal-based biochar. The results are as Figure 4 shown.

[0101] As Figure 4 can be seen, the removal rates of COD, NH4 + -N, and PO4 3- -P in reactors 1#, 2#, and 3# are 94.8±4.5%, 83.9±8.2%, 67.0±12.5%, 89.4±6.1%, 76.1±7.3%, 71.4±9.3%, and 92.0±7.2%, 73.1±9.4%, 65.3±12.7% respectively. For reactor 4#, the removal rates of COD, NH4 + -N, and PO4 3- -P are 88.0±8.1%, 68.8±9.3%, and 67.5±9.1% respectively. From the results, it can be concluded that adding algal-based biochar can enhance the removal efficiency of the bacteria-algae granular sludge system for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The removal efficiency of reactor 1# for COD and NH4 + -N is the most significant. It shows that when adding 1 g / L of algal-based biochar, the algal-based biochar can be well coupled with the bacteria-algae granular sludge system and has strong tolerance to the environment containing ENR.

[0102] 2. Removal efficiency of the algal-based biochar coupled bacteria-algae granular sludge system for enrofloxacin

[0103] Monitor the changes in the influent and effluent concentrations of enrofloxacin in 4 groups of reactors daily, explore the removal efficiency of the coupled bacteria-algae granular sludge system with different dosages of algal-based biochar for enrofloxacin in aquaculture wastewater, and calculate the specific removal rate (μg / g-VSS / d). The results are as Figure 5 shown. Among them, the calculation method of the specific removal rate is: (influent concentration (μg / L) - effluent concentration (μg / L)) / (mixed liquor volatile suspended solid concentration (g / L) × hydraulic retention time (days)).

[0104] As Figure 5It can be seen that the removal rates of enrofloxacin by the 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# reactors are 60.0±4.4%, 63.6±3.2%, 62.5±4.7%, and 55.7±3.4% respectively, and the specific removal rates are 47.6±3.7 μg / g-VSS / d, 46.7±3.8 μg / g-VSS / d, 40.7±4.5 μg / g-VSS / d, and 43.9±4.6 μg / g-VSS / d respectively. This shows that the algal-based biochar can enhance the ability of the algal-bacterial granular sludge to remove enrofloxacin, and the specific removal rate of enrofloxacin by the 1# reactor is significantly higher than that of other groups.

[0105] Based on the above results, it can be known that when 1 g / L of algal-based biochar is added, the algal-bacterial inoculation ratio is 5:1, the light intensity is 1800 lux, and after 20 days of operation, the salinity of the algal-bacterial system is acclimated, with the salinity gradually increased from 0.1% to 0.3% and operated for 20 days. The resulting algal-based biochar coupled algal-bacterial granular sludge system has a high removal efficiency for carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and enrofloxacin in water.

[0106] Example 4 Treatment of aquaculture wastewater containing enrofloxacin by different purification systems

[0107] To compare and explore the removal efficiency of different treatment systems for simulated aquaculture wastewater containing the antibiotic enrofloxacin, the following treatment systems were used for batch removal experiments of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and antibiotics.

[0108] When conducting batch removal experiments of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, the treatment systems were respectively: algal solution system (Microalgae, OD 680 was 1.5), activated sludge system (Activated sludge, AS, sludge concentration was 4.5±1.0 g / L), algal-bacterial granular sludge system (MBGS, sludge concentration was 4.5±1.0 g / L), and algal-based biochar coupled algal-bacterial granular sludge system (MBGS + 1 g / L BC, sludge concentration was 4.5±1.0 g / L). When conducting batch removal experiments of antibiotics, a biochar system (BC, 1 g / L) was added to the above treatment systems. The reaction system was pre-filled with simulated wastewater in a photo-sequencing batch reactor with COD, NH4 + -N, PO4 3- -P, and ENR concentrations of 1000 mg / L, 100 m / L, 10 mg / L, 100 μg / L, and a salinity of 0.3%. Under the conditions of 250 rpm, 25 °C, and 1800 lux, it was shaken and treated for 48 h. The removal of enrofloxacin in the wastewater was measured using a high-performance liquid chromatograph, and the removal of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the simulated wastewater was also measured.

[0109] 1. Removal Efficiencies of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus by Four Treatment Systems of Microalgae, AS, MBGS, and MBGS + 1 g / L BC

[0110] The basic water quality of the influent and effluent of the four treatment systems was monitored to explore the removal efficiencies of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus by the four purification systems. The results are as Figure 6 shown. The results indicate that the removal efficiencies of the algal solution for COD, NH4 + -N, and were 23.7 ± 2.4%, 29.9 ± 3.5%, and 46.9 ± 2.9% respectively, and the removal efficiencies of the activated sludge were 72.4 ± 6.4%, 56.0 ± 6.5%, and 57.0 ± 6.8% respectively; the removal efficiencies of the microbial-algal granular sludge were increased to 88.0 ± 7.1%, 72.7 ± 7.3%, and 67.0 ± 9.1% respectively; the removal efficiencies of the biochar-coupled microbial-algal granular sludge (MBGS + BC) were further enhanced, reaching 94.8 ± 4.5%, 89.4 ± 8.2%, and 67.5 ± 8.3% respectively. This shows that microalgae and activated sludge exhibit a synergistic wastewater treatment effect in the microbial-algal granular sludge system.

[0111] 2. Removal Efficiencies of Enrofloxacin by Five Purification Systems of 1 g / L BC, Microalgae, AS, MBGS, and MBGS + 1 g / L BC

[0112] The changes in the influent and effluent concentrations of enrofloxacin in the five treatment systems were monitored at regular intervals to compare the removal efficiencies of enrofloxacin by different treatment systems (biochar, algal solution, activated sludge, microbial-algal granular sludge, and biochar-coupled microbial-algal granular sludge). The results are as Figure 7 shown. The results indicate that the removal efficiencies of the algal solution, activated sludge, and microbial-algal granular sludge for enrofloxacin were 29.0 ± 3.2%, 44.6 ± 2.8%, and 56.7 ± 3.5% respectively, while the removal efficiency of the biochar-coupled microbial-algal granular sludge group (MBGS + 1 g / L BC) was significantly increased to 74.3%. This shows that microalgae and activated sludge exhibit a synergistic effect in the microbial-algal granular sludge system, and the introduction of algal-based biochar further enhances the removal ability of the system for enrofloxacin in high-salt wastewater, verifying the application potential of this technology in complex wastewater treatment.

[0113] In summary, the algal-based biochar-coupled microbial-algal granular sludge system has high removal efficiencies for carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and enrofloxacin antibiotics in aquaculture wastewater, and its removal effect is stable, showing good application prospects for treating aquaculture wastewater.
