Figure 4 The relationship curve between ozone dosage and influent chromaticity shows how ozone dosage is dynamically adjusted according to influent chromaticity. In particular, when the chromaticity exceeds 500 times, the ozone dosage will be increased to 250mg / m 3 ·h; Figure 5 The graph is a relationship between the treatment effect of the activated carbon adsorption column and the COD of the influent, showing the treatment effect of the activated carbon adsorption column at different influent COD concentrations. In particular, when the influent COD exceeds 2000 mg / L, the adsorption efficiency is improved by series operation. The efficient treatment method for Chinese herbal medicine wastewater provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0056] (1) Pretreatment: After the wastewater from Chinese herbal medicine slices is screened to remove large particles of impurities, it enters the regulating tank for homogenization and equalization, and then acid / alkali is added to adjust the pH to 6.5-7.5;
[0057] (2) Coagulation and sedimentation: Add a composite coagulant (PAC to FeCl3 molar ratio of 1:0.5-1:1) and a flocculant (PAM concentration 0.1-0.3 wt%) to the wastewater to form alum flocs and precipitate in the inclined plate sedimentation tank to remove suspended solids and part of the COD;
[0058] (3) Pre-acidification: The precipitated water enters the pre-acidification tank, where the macromolecular organic matter is decomposed into small molecules by anaerobic bacteria. The pH is controlled at 6.0-6.8. The tank is filled with 30-40% biological carrier filler and inoculated with anaerobic granular sludge.
[0059] (4) UASB anaerobic reaction: The pre-acidified liquid enters the UASB reaction tower, and the temperature inside the tower is maintained at 35±2℃ by steam heating. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) is 8-12 hours. After desulfurization, the biogas is powered by a micro gas generator;
[0060] (5) SBR aerobic treatment: UASB effluent enters the SBR tank and achieves simultaneous nitrification and denitrification through periodic aeration (DO ≥ 2 mg / L) and anoxic stirring (DO ≤ 0.5 mg / L). The aeration-anoxic cycle is 4-6 hours and the sludge concentration (MLSS) is 4-6 g / L.
[0061] (6) Ozone catalytic oxidation: The SBR effluent enters the ozone oxidation tank, and the ozone dosage is 150-200 mg / m 3 h, the cell is provided with a titanium-based catalyst coating (thickness 50-100nm) of TiO2 doped nano-Fe3O4, and the reaction time is 30-45 minutes;
[0062] (7) Deep filtration and disinfection: The ozone effluent passes through an activated carbon adsorption column (columnar carbon and powdered carbon are combined, with an adsorption time of ≥30 minutes) and a multi-media filter, and is finally disinfected with chlorine dioxide before being discharged to meet the standards.
[0063] (8) Sludge treatment: The sludge generated by each unit enters the concentration tank, and the filtrate is returned to the regulating tank after plate and frame filtration. The mud cake is mixed with traditional Chinese medicine waste residue in a mass ratio of 1:2 to produce biomass fuel;
[0064] (9) Intelligent control: The pH, dissolved oxygen and ozone dosage are controlled in real time through the online monitoring system, and the aeration cycle is dynamically adjusted using the fuzzy PID algorithm. When the COD in the SBR tank increases instantaneously, the aeration cycle is automatically extended by 10%-15%.
[0065] By adopting the above technical solution, the overall method realizes the synergistic removal of organic matter, color and suspended solids in traditional Chinese medicine wastewater through the efficient integration of physical, chemical and biological treatment technologies, improves the systematicness and stability of the treatment process, and promotes the resource utilization of sludge and energy recovery.
[0066] Wherein, the dosage of the composite coagulant in step (2) is 0.5-1.5% of the mass of the wastewater, and the molar ratio of PAC to FeCl3 is preferably 1:0.8.
[0067] By adopting the above technical solution and optimizing the ratio and dosage of the composite coagulant, the coagulation and sedimentation effect can be enhanced, the removal efficiency of suspended solids and COD can be improved, thereby reducing the consumption of reagents and operating costs.
[0068] The ozone dosage in step (6) is dynamically adjusted according to the chromaticity of the influent water, and is increased to 250 mg / m when the chromaticity is greater than 500 times. 3 h, the ozone dosage is calculated by the dynamic equation:
[0069]
[0070] in:
[0071] O: Ozone dosage (mg / m 3 h), the control range is 150-250mg / m 3 h, dynamically adjusted according to water quality;
[0072] C: Influent chromaticity (times), real-time monitoring value, and when C>500 times, k=1.2 is forced to be set;
[0073] R COD : SBR effluent residual COD (mg / L). The higher the residual COD, the more ozone needs to be added to degrade the difficult-to-decompose organic matter. Balancing efficiency and cost;
[0074] A(t): The activity coefficient of titanium-based catalyst, which decays with the running time, A(t) = A0·e -0.001t , the decay rate constant (0.001) is determined by accelerated aging experiments, A0 = 1.0, t is the number of operating days;
[0075] k: proportionality constant, reflecting the sensitivity of water quality fluctuations, taken as 0.8-1.2 (calibrated by pilot experiments, taken as 1.0 when COD fluctuations are ±20%);
[0076] The equation dynamically adjusts the ozone dosage based on chromaticity, COD residual and catalyst activity, and the reaction time is synchronously adjusted to T=25+0.1O (minutes), where T is the reaction time (minutes), which is dynamically adjusted to ensure sufficient degradation of high-concentration pollutants.
[0077] By adopting the above technical solution, the chromaticity, COD residual and catalyst activity parameters are coupled through dynamic equations to accurately control the ozone dosage, avoid excessive or insufficient ozone, improve the removal efficiency of difficult-to-degrade organic matter, and extend the service life of the catalyst.
[0078] Examples, such as:
[0079] 1. Input parameters: Real-time monitoring of chromaticity C = 600 times, SBR effluent residual CODR COD =80 mg / L, catalyst operation t=30 days; proportional constant k=1.2 (because C>500C>500 times, k=1.2 is forced to be set);
[0080] 2. Calculation steps:
[0081] Catalyst activity coefficient:
[0082] A(t)=1.0·e -0.001×30 ≈0.97
[0083] Ozone dosage:
[0084]
[0085] Reaction time adjustment:
[0086] T = 25 + 0.1 × 220 = 47 minutes
[0087] Therefore, the equation dynamically adjusts the ozone dosage according to the chromaticity, COD residual and catalyst activity, and the reaction time is simultaneously adjusted to 47 minutes.
[0088] Wherein, the UASB reaction tower in step (4) is equipped with a three-phase separator, and the biogas energy self-sufficiency rate is ≥30%.
[0089] By adopting the above technical solution and combining the three-phase separator with biogas power generation technology, the biogas recovery efficiency can be improved, the internal energy self-sufficiency of the system can be achieved, the dependence on external energy can be reduced, and the process sustainability can be enhanced.
[0090] The activated carbon adsorption column in step (7) adopts a series-parallel switchable mode, and switches to series operation when the influent COD is greater than 2000 mg / L.
[0091] By adopting the above technical solution and the series-parallel switchable design of the activated carbon adsorption column, it can flexibly adapt to different water quality loads, optimize the adsorption efficiency and operating energy consumption, and enhance the system's impact resistance.
[0092] The fuzzy PID algorithm in step (9) adjusts the aeration frequency according to the real-time COD load, reducing energy consumption by more than 12%.
[0093] By adopting the above technical solution and dynamically controlling the aeration cycle through the fuzzy PID algorithm, it is possible to achieve a precise match between the aeration volume and the pollutant load, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving the efficiency of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification.
[0094] The biological carrier filler in step (3) is a polyurethane porous material with a specific surface area of ≥500m 2 / m 3 .
[0095] The above technical solution promotes the attachment and metabolic activity of anaerobic bacteria through high specific surface area biological carrier fillers, which can accelerate the decomposition of large molecular organic matter and thus improve the treatment efficiency of the pre-acidification stage.
[0096] Wherein, the calorific value of the biomass fuel in step (8) is ≥3000 kcal / kg, and the combustion ash is used to prepare building material aggregate.
[0097] By adopting the above technical solution, biomass fuel is prepared by mixing sludge and waste residue, which can realize the resource utilization of waste, reduce the pressure of solid waste disposal, and further reduce the environmental burden by recycling ash.
[0098] Wherein, the titanium-based catalyst in step (6) is prepared by a sol-gel method, the Fe3O4 doping amount is 5-10wt%, and the particle size is 20-50nm.
[0099] By adopting the above technical solution, the titanium-based catalyst prepared by a specific process can enhance the ozone decomposition activity, increase the yield of hydroxyl radicals, and strengthen the oxidative degradation ability of difficult-to-degrade organic matter.
