Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and specifically relates to a method for storing and reactivating bacterial and algal granular sludge. Background Technology
[0002] Microalgae granular sludge refers to a bio-aggregate formed by the symbiosis of microalgae and aerobic granular sludge. Its core lies in the integration of synergistic metabolism and structural function between bacteria and microalgae. Microalgae continuously supply dissolved oxygen to the symbiotic bacteria through photosynthesis, driving the efficient degradation of organic pollutants, while fixing carbon dioxide and absorbing nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. Meanwhile, the carbon dioxide produced by bacterial metabolism provides substrates for microalgae growth. Based on the synergistic mechanism of bacteria and microalgae, it has shown significant potential in the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus and carbon emission reduction in wastewater treatment, and is regarded as one of the cutting-edge technologies for achieving energy self-sufficiency and carbon neutrality in wastewater treatment plants. However, in the actual engineering application of microalgae granular sludge, it faces limitations such as loss of activity and irreversible structural damage during long-term storage.
[0003] Currently, traditional sludge storage technologies (such as low-temperature refrigeration, freeze drying, and chemical fixation) are mostly developed based on single microbial systems (such as pure bacterial aerobic / anaerobic granular sludge). Their design logic is difficult to adapt to the complex biological characteristics of the bacterial-algae symbiotic system in bacterial-algae granular sludge, thus failing to achieve the active preservation of bacterial-algae granular sludge across seasons or regions.
[0004] Specifically, long-term dark storage leads to the degradation of chloroplast function in microalgae and the loss of photosynthetic oxygen supply capacity, which in turn causes an imbalance in the bacterial community structure under the anoxic environment inside the aerobic granular sludge. While freeze-drying can extend the storage time, the dehydration process may cause particle disintegration and disordered spatial distribution of functional bacteria. The more fundamental contradiction lies in the fact that the functional stability of the bacterial-algae symbiotic system is highly dependent on the dynamic balance of bacterial-algae metabolic feedback and the integrity of the particle structure. Traditional storage methods often result in a mismatch between bacterial and algal metabolic rates due to the lack of design for coordinated regulation of light, temperature, and oxygen. For example, the photosynthetic chain of algae is interrupted in dark storage, and the inability to continuously supply oxygen forces aerobic bacteria to turn to endogenous respiration and release intracellular polymers, weakening the strength of the particle structure. The above problems are further amplified in extreme environments (such as high-altitude and high-salinity areas). Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new bacterial-algae granular sludge storage technology, which is a key breakthrough to promote the technology from the laboratory to engineering applications. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for storing and reactivating granular sludge containing bacteria and algae, thereby solving the technical problem that traditional sludge storage technologies cannot achieve the active preservation of granular sludge containing bacteria and algae across seasons or regions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: This invention provides a method for storing and reactivating granular sludge containing bacteria and algae, comprising: The stored bacterial and algae granular sludge was washed with pure water to obtain the washed bacterial and algae granular sludge. Pretreated clean water and washed algae granular sludge are added to the storage reactor and stored in a preset low-temperature environment with periodic light and dark alternation. When it is necessary to reactivate the stored bacterial and algal granular sludge, the supernatant in the storage reactor is removed, and aeration and light are provided in situ to obtain reactivated bacterial and algal granular sludge.
[0007] Furthermore, the bacterial and algae granular sludge to be stored is mature bacterial and algae symbiotic granular sludge; The preparation process of mature algae-microbe symbiotic granular sludge includes: Activated sludge is placed in an SBR reactor, using simulated wastewater as influent. The SBR reactor is run periodically until algae-bacterial symbiotic granular sludge is formed. Then, it is transferred to a cylindrical glass reactor for continuous operation to obtain mature algae-bacterial symbiotic granular sludge.
[0008] Furthermore, the concentration of COD in the simulated wastewater was 500-550 mg / L, and the concentration of NH4+ was... + The concentration of -N was 40-45 mg / L, TP was 6-8 mg / L, and Ca... 2+ The concentration is 80-100 mg / L.
[0009] Furthermore, when the SBR reactor is operated periodically, the operating time for each operating cycle is 5-6 hours; Within each operating cycle, the anaerobic operation time is 1-1.5 hours, and the aeration operation time is 3 hours 50 minutes to 4 hours 5 minutes. During the aeration operation, an environment with a light intensity of 4000-4500 lux is provided simultaneously, and the aeration rate is 1-2 L / min.
[0010] Furthermore, the pretreatment process for preparing clean water includes: Nitrogen gas is introduced into tap water to remove residual chlorine and oxygen, resulting in pretreated clean water; the nitrogen gas is introduced for 20-30 minutes.
[0011] Furthermore, the preset low temperature environment is 4±0.5℃.
[0012] Furthermore, in a periodic light-dark alternation environment, the light-dark time ratio in each light-dark alternation cycle is 1:1, and the light intensity is 3000-4500 lux.
[0013] Furthermore, in the periodic light-dark alternation environment, the light time in each light-dark alternation cycle is 6 hours and the dark time is 6 hours.
[0014] Furthermore, when it is necessary to reactivate the stored bacterial and algal granular sludge, the supernatant in the storage reactor is removed, and in-situ aeration and light treatment are provided to obtain reactivated bacterial and algal granular sludge, as follows: Remove the supernatant from the storage reactor; then, use the restored simulated wastewater as influent, and run the storage reactor under in-situ aeration of 1-2 L / min and light of 3000-4500 lux to obtain reactivated bacterial and algal granular sludge.
[0015] Furthermore, the concentration of COD in the simulated wastewater was restored to 500-520 mg / L, and the concentration of NH4+ was... + The concentration of -N was 35-40 mg / L, TP was 6-7 mg / L, and Ca... 2+ The concentration is 80-100 mg / L.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention provides a method for storing and reactivating granular sludge containing bacteria and algae. The method utilizes pure water to wash the sludge before storage, thoroughly removing residual nutrients and metabolic byproducts, thereby eliminating unnecessary metabolic activity during storage and inducing the microorganisms in the sludge to enter a dormant state. Furthermore, using purified water as the storage medium, coupled with a low-temperature environment and a periodic light-dark cycle control mechanism, a synergistic preservation system is formed. This allows the bacteria-algae system to quickly restore its wastewater treatment efficiency after storage while maintaining complete algal biomass. Setting the storage temperature to a preset low-temperature environment effectively reduces the metabolic rate of microorganisms, ensuring the activity of the granular sludge. Applying a periodic light-dark cycle matches the survival needs of the algae in the granular sludge, maintaining its physiological activity and functional stability. This invention fills a technological gap in dedicated storage methods for granular sludge containing bacteria and algae, demonstrating significant advantages over conventional microbial preservation methods in maintaining the stability of the symbiotic system and improving functional recovery efficiency.

[0020] This invention provides a method for storing and reactivating granular sludge containing bacteria and algae, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the bacterial-algae granular sludge to be stored; wherein, the bacterial-algae granular sludge to be stored is mature bacterial-algae symbiotic granular sludge; specifically, the preparation process of mature bacterial-algae symbiotic granular sludge includes: Activated sludge was placed in an SBR reactor using simulated wastewater as influent. The SBR reactor was run periodically until algae-bacterial symbiotic granular sludge was formed. Afterward, it was transferred to a cylindrical glass reactor for continuous operation to obtain mature algae-bacterial symbiotic granular sludge. The COD concentration in the simulated wastewater was 500-550 mg / L, and the NH4+ concentration was... +The concentration of -N was 40-45 mg / L, TP was 6-8 mg / L, and Ca... 2+ The concentration is 80-100 mg / L; when the SBR reactor is running periodically, the running time of each cycle is 5-6 h; the anaerobic running time is 1-1.5 h, and the aeration running time is 3 h 50 min - 4 h 5 min; when aeration is running, an environment with a light intensity of 4000-4500 lux is provided simultaneously, and the aeration rate is 1-2 L / min.
[0021] Step 2: Use pure water to wash the stored bacterial and algae granular sludge 2-3 times to thoroughly remove residual nutrients and metabolic byproducts, eliminate unnecessary metabolic activities during storage, and induce microorganisms to enter a dormant state, thereby obtaining the washed bacterial and algae granular sludge.
[0022] Step 3: Measure the preset amount of tap water; introduce nitrogen gas into the tap water for 20-30 minutes to remove residual chlorine and oxygen from the tap water and obtain pretreated clean water.
[0023] Step 4: Add the cleaned algae and bacterial granular sludge to the pretreated clean water to form a mixed system; transfer the mixed system to a storage reactor and store it under a preset low temperature environment and a periodic light-dark alternation environment. The preset low temperature environment is 4±0.5℃; in the periodic light-dark alternation environment, the light-dark time ratio in each light-dark alternation cycle is 1:1, and the light intensity is 3000-4500 lux; preferably, in the periodic light-dark alternation environment, the light time in each light-dark alternation cycle is 6 hours, and the dark time is 6 hours.
[0024] Step 5: When reactivation of the stored algal granular sludge is required, remove the supernatant from the storage reactor and provide in-situ aeration and light treatment to obtain reactivated algal granular sludge. Specifically, remove the supernatant from the storage reactor; then, use simulated recovery wastewater as influent, and operate the storage reactor under in-situ aeration of 1-2 L / min and light irradiation of 3000-4500 lux to obtain reactivated algal granular sludge; wherein, the concentration of COD in the simulated recovery wastewater is 500-520 mg / L, and NH4+ is... + The concentration of -N was 35-40 mg / L, TP was 6-7 mg / L, and Ca... 2+ The concentration is 80-100 mg / L.
[0025] Storage and reactivation principles: The method for storing and reactivating granular sludge of bacteria and algae described in this invention involves obtaining the granular sludge to be stored by simply supplying light to the activated sludge to form mature symbiotic granular sludge, without the need for exogenous algae. Then, the mature symbiotic granular sludge is washed in pure water to thoroughly remove residual nutrients and metabolic byproducts, eliminating unnecessary metabolic activity during storage and inducing microorganisms into a dormant state. Next, during storage, a low-temperature environment is used to effectively reduce the metabolic rate of microorganisms and ensure the activity of the granular sludge. A periodic light-dark alternation environment is applied to match the survival needs of the algae, maintaining their physiological activity and functional stability. Based on the principle of synergistic regulation of environmental factors, this invention constructs a clear water storage medium, couples a low-temperature maintenance system with light-dark periodic regulation methods, and forms a synergistic preservation system. This allows the stored granular sludge of bacteria and algae to quickly restore its wastewater treatment efficiency while maintaining complete algal biomass, demonstrating significant advantages in maintaining the stability of the symbiotic system and improving functional recovery efficiency.

Figure 5 It can be seen that after 7 days, the activated bacterial and algal granular sludge has low NH4 content. + The -N removal rate reached 100%, demonstrating excellent nitrification function.
[0070] As attached Figure 6 As shown, attached Figure 6 The figure shows the change curve of chlorophyll content before and after storage of the bacterial and algal granular sludge in Example 1; from the appendix Figure 6 As can be seen, although chlorophyll decreased significantly after storage, chlorophyll increased rapidly during the recovery period, indicating that the storage strategy did not affect the algal life activities during the recovery period.
[0071] As attached Figure 7 As shown, attached Figure 7 The accompanying image shows photographs of the stored bacterial and algal granular sludge from the comparative example; from the attached image... Figure 7 As can be seen, compared with before storage, the bacterial and algal granular sludge after storage has fine particles, indicating that there is a disintegration of the granular sludge structure.
[0072] As attached Figure 8 As shown, attached Figure 8 The figure shows the COD removal effect curve of the bacterial and algal granular sludge in the in-situ recovery period in the comparative example; from the appendix Figure 8 As can be seen, although the restored bacterial and algal granular sludge maintained a high COD removal efficiency, a relatively obvious fluctuation occurred at 15 days.

Figure 9 As can be seen, compared with the efficient recovery of nitrification function in Example 1, the bacterial and algal granular sludge in this comparative example has a consistently poor effect on ammonia nitrogen removal, indicating that the nitrification function may require a longer recovery time.
[0074] As attached Figure 10 As shown, attached Figure 10 The figure shows the change curves of chlorophyll content before and after storage of the bacterial and algal granular sludge in the comparative example; from the appendix... Figure 10 As can be seen, although the chlorophyll reduction was less when the proportional storage strategy was adopted, considering the overall structure of the bacterial and algal granular sludge and its pollutant removal effect, the proportional storage strategy could not effectively balance the cooperative relationship between bacteria and algae, resulting in poor pollutant removal effect of the bacterial and algal granular sludge during the recovery period.
[0075] The method for storing and reactivating granular sludge of bacteria and algae described in this invention is based on the principle of synergistic regulation of environmental factors. It constructs a low-temperature-dark cycle environment, forming a synergistic preservation system that couples a clean water storage medium with a low-temperature maintenance system and a light-dark cycle regulation. This allows the bacteria-algae system to rapidly restore its wastewater treatment efficiency after storage, while maintaining complete algal biomass. Specifically, the low-temperature environment effectively reduces the metabolic rate of microorganisms, ensuring the activity of the granular sludge; the light-dark cycle matches the survival needs of algae, maintaining their physiological activity and functional stability. This invention effectively fills the technical gap in dedicated storage methods for granular sludge of bacteria and algae, demonstrating significant advantages over conventional microbial preservation methods in maintaining the stability of the symbiotic system and improving functional recovery efficiency. It should be noted that the bacteria involved in this invention are all common species in the field and are not the focus of this application; therefore, they will not be elaborated upon here.
