Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water ecological restoration technology, specifically relating to a solar-driven photocatalytic-biofilm synergistic ecological floating bed system and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Ecological floating bed technology is a biological treatment technology that removes pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus from water bodies through the adsorption and absorption of plant roots, thereby achieving the goal of water treatment and protecting the aquatic ecological environment. The basic structure of an ecological floating bed can be divided into a frame, bed body, filler material, and plants. The frame and bed body are generally made of plastic materials to provide buoyancy; the filler material is mainly used to fix the plants and adsorb pollutants; the plants are generally emergent plants. Traditional ecological floating beds are single-function floating beds, integrating only the absorption of plants and the adsorption of filler material, and generally suffer from limited degradation efficiency of organic pollutants (COD removal rate of only 40%–60%).

The device has a highly buoyant carrier positioned horizontally in the middle, with a solar panel located at the center of this carrier. Transparent plastic plates surround the carrier, and a titanium dioxide visible light catalyst film is adhered to these plates, forming a visible light photocatalytic oxidation system.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] This invention provides a solar-driven photocatalytic-biofilm synergistic ecological floating bed system, comprising a floating bed module, a biofilm carrier module, a photocatalytic module, an aeration module, and a power supply module. The invention employs a vertical irradiation structure consisting of a carbon fiber substrate, a photocatalyst, and UV-LED lamps. It can utilize sunlight directly during the day and UV-LED lamps at night for all-weather operation. The photocatalyst loaded on the carbon fiber substrate generates oxidized groups, promoting the degradation of organic pollutants, controlling harmful algal blooms, and efficiently degrading pollutants such as algal toxins (e.g., a degradation rate of ≥92% for microcystin-LR). Furthermore, the vertical arrangement of the photocatalytic module allows it to penetrate deep underwater, increasing penetration depth and ensuring sufficient contact. Vertical arrangement also facilitates external power supply connection compared to horizontal arrangement and reduces sediment accumulation on the UV-LED lamps. This invention employs an aeration module to enhance oxygen supply, generating micro-nano bubbles that can increase dissolved oxygen to 6-8 mg / L, promoting nitrification in the biofilm and increasing the ammonia nitrogen conversion rate by 40% compared to systems without micro-nano bubble enhancement. The composite packing material within the planting basket utilizes a gradient layout of "ceramsite-volcanic rock-manganese ore," simultaneously achieving physical adsorption, ion exchange, and electron transfer, thus enhancing microbial activity. After adsorbing pollutants, the composite packing material within the planting basket can achieve in-situ regeneration through aeration disturbance and microbial metabolism. The synergistic effect of the various modules in this ecological floating bed system solves the problem of low pollutant removal efficiency in current floating bed systems.

[0053] To further illustrate the present invention, the solar-driven photocatalytic-biofilm synergistic ecological floating bed system and its applications provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, these descriptions should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the photocatalyst used is a tea polyphenol-modified TiO2-silver-based composite material, and the preparation method includes the following steps:
[0055] Tea polyphenols (0.1 g) and 0.9 g P25 were mixed and ground. The resulting mixture was calcined in a muffle furnace at 400 °C for 2 h, and this solid was labeled T-P25. 0.2 g of T-P25 was dispersed in 100 mL of silver acetate solution (3 g / L), sonicated for 30 min, and then 4 mL of Na2HPO4 solution (21.25 g / L) was added dropwise to form a light yellow T-P25 / Ag3PO4 solid, which was then centrifuged and washed. The washed solid was vacuum dried at 60 °C for 12 h to obtain the tea polyphenol-modified TiO2-silver-based composite material.
[0056] Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 verify the enhancing effect of packing materials and micro / nano aeration on the floating bed system.
[0057] A micro-nano aeration-filler floating bed system was constructed to simultaneously remove nitrogen, phosphorus, and antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole): the initial total nitrogen concentration was 16.8 mg / L, the total phosphorus concentration was 1.9 mg / L, and the sulfamethoxazole concentration was 1 mg / L.
[0058] The micro-nano aeration-manganese ore filler-canna floating bed composite water purification system consists of a floating support structure, planting baskets, a filler layer, an aquatic plant layer, and a micro-nano aeration device. Nine plastic boxes were set up for the experiment, each containing 120L of prepared polluted water. Each plastic box contained a high-density foam board measuring 60*50*5cm, with two planting holes on each board. Planting baskets were installed in these baskets, with the filler material filling to a height of 15cm. One canna lily was planted in each basket.
[0059] The experiment was set up with three treatments, and each treatment had three parallel experiments:
[0060] In Comparative Example 1, the packing layer was manganese ore, and no micro-nano aeration was performed (Control Group A: Canna lily floating bed);
[0061] In Comparative Example 2, the packing layer was manganese ore, and micro-nano aeration was performed (Aeration Group B: Canna lily floating bed + micro-nano aeration);
[0062] In Example 1, the packing layer is a multi-layer composite packing. The bottom layer is bio-ceramic granules, accounting for 30% of the volume; the middle layer is volcanic rock, accounting for 20% of the volume; and the top layer is manganese ore, accounting for 50% of the volume. Micro-nano aeration (C-aeration + packing group: canna lily floating bed + micro-nano aeration + combined packing) is implemented. The micro-nano aeration bubble diameter is 30-50 μm, the air-to-water ratio is 1:2, and the aeration rate is 2.5 m³ / h. 3 / h, connected to an aeration pump via a pipe, releases micro-nano bubbles in the water.
[0063] The experiment lasted for 18 days, with samples taken every 3 days.
[0064] Example 1 demonstrates how micro-nano aeration coupled with composite packing enhances the simultaneous removal efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, and antibiotics in water using floating bed technology. In Group C, the dissolved oxygen concentration reached a maximum of 12 mg / L, achieving a removal rate of 75.91% for total nitrogen, 81.47% for total phosphorus, 12.64% for chlorophyll, and 91.25% for the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole.
[0065] Comparative Example 2 showed a total nitrogen removal rate of 71.03%, a total phosphorus removal rate of 70.28%, a chlorophyll a removal rate of 10.95%, and a sulfamethoxazole removal rate of 62.45%.
[0066] Comparative Example 1, with its simple floating bed system, achieved a total nitrogen removal rate of 67.95% and a total phosphorus removal rate of 59.62% in the water. However, the chlorophyll a concentration increased by 161.24% relative to the initial concentration, and the removal rate of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole in the water was 46.34%. Compared to the floating bed system in Example 1, the removal rates of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, chlorophyll a, and sulfamethoxazole were significantly reduced (p<0.05).
[0067] Example 2
[0068] Constructing an in-situ treatment system for aquaculture ponds: The pond area is 100m² 2 The depth is 1-1.2m, and 300 crucian carp are raised there, fed 3000g per day. The system consists of micro-nano aeration + composite filler + photocatalytic system + biological rope + canna lily floating bed system, and its overall structure is composed of plastic floats and HDPE floats.
[0069] The floating bed is constructed from assembled plastic modules, measuring 3m x 3m x 0.06m (length x width x height). It has several planting holes for planting baskets, each containing a multi-layered composite filler to a height of 20cm. The bottom layer consists of bio-ceramic granules, the middle layer of volcanic rock, and the top layer of manganese ore, with volume percentages of 30%, 20%, and 50% respectively. The total filling density is 180kg / m³. 3 The roots of canna lilies are interwoven within the system, forming a highly efficient purification medium. A carbon fiber-supported photocatalytic layer is vertically installed around the perimeter of the system. This layer is composed of multiple photocatalytic sheets, each measuring 1m x 50cm. The catalytic material is a visible-light-responsive tea polyphenol-modified TiO2 / silver-based composite with a loading of 2.8 mg / cm³. 2 The UV-LED lamps are spaced 20cm apart. The reflector is 1.5 times the total length of the lamps, 30cm wide, with a bending radius of approximately 50cm, and a reflection angle ranging from 30° to 60°. Curtain-style biological ropes are suspended longitudinally along the bottom of the floating bed, with each rope spaced 15cm apart. A micro-nano aeration device is placed 1m below the floating bed at the bottom of the pond, with bubble diameters of 30-50μm, an air-to-water ratio of 1:2, and an aeration rate of 2.5m³ / h. 3 / h. The energy consumption of the photocatalytic system and aeration system is provided by 1*1m photovoltaic panels arranged above the floating bed. The area of the photovoltaic panels is determined based on the total energy consumption of the system, and the coverage area is 1m². 2 .
[0070] In Example 2, after 5 months of system operation, the concentrations of chlorophyll a, TN (total nitrogen), TP (total phosphorus), ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and COD in the treated pond were 0.032 mg / L, 1.310 mg / L, 0.174 mg / L, 0.198 mg / L, 0.252 mg / L, 0.015 mg / L, and 15.667 mg / L, respectively. In contrast, the concentrations of these pollutants in the untreated control pond were 0.137 mg / L, 2.662 mg / L, 0.272 mg / L, 0.490 mg / L, 0.999 mg / L, 0.068 mg / L, and 45.000 mg / L, respectively. The pollutant concentrations in the treated pond decreased by 76.9%, 50.8%, 36.2%, 59.7%, 74.8%, 77.6%, and 65.2% compared to the control pond (feeding during operation increased pollutants in the aquaculture water).
[0071] This invention relates to a solar-driven photocatalytic-biofilm synergistic ecological floating bed system, which offers significant advantages in treatment efficiency and system design compared to existing integrated water remediation devices combining photocatalytic oxidation and ecological restoration (CN104250057A). In CN104250057A, the ecological floating bed system primarily relies on natural photocatalysis and natural biofilm degradation. However, titanium dioxide has a weak visible light response, leading to low photocatalytic efficiency. Furthermore, the aeration system uses ordinary large-bubble aeration, which has a poor effect on enhancing biofilm treatment, resulting in a COD removal rate of only 40%–60% and a nitrogen removal rate of only 30%–60%.
[0072] This invention introduces a synergistic treatment technology combining photocatalysis with micro-nano aeration enhanced by a solar-powered light source and biofilm, achieving energy self-sufficiency and highly efficient pollution removal. It avoids dependence on external light sources and reduces maintenance difficulty through modular design, adapting to various water quality environments. Micro-nano aeration has significant advantages over ordinary aeration (bubble diameter 2-5 mm). The small-diameter bubbles (30-50 micrometers) it generates have a larger specific surface area and longer residence time, more effectively dissolving oxygen and increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water. This not only enhances microbial metabolism and nitrification in the biofilm but also improves the contact between the photocatalyst and pollutants, increasing photocatalytic efficiency. The synergistic effect of micro-nano aeration with photocatalysis and biofilm significantly improves water purification efficiency. Test results show that the nitrogen removal rate of this invention is stable at 50%-80%, and the COD removal rate can reach over 60%. This invention not only significantly improves pollution removal efficiency but also has significant advantages in energy utilization, system stability, and maintenance costs, demonstrating practical application value.
[0073] This invention integrates a vertical photocatalytic layer, a suspended biofilm carrier, a directional aeration network, and intelligent photovoltaic power supply into a modular system for the synergistic purification of the nitrogen-phosphorus-organic matter complex pollution system in aquaculture ponds. Combining photocatalytic oxidation with micro-nano aeration and oxygen supply, this invention can address high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and algal toxin pollution. The aeration system of this invention can be powered by solar energy, achieving dynamic energy distribution with the photocatalytic module and solving the problem of a sharp drop in system efficiency during periods of insufficient sunlight.
[0074] Although the above embodiments have provided a detailed description of the present invention, they are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. People can obtain other embodiments based on the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
