[0027] Comparative Example 4 The method for preparing the regenerated carbon source for wastewater treatment by using Clostridium pasteurianum fermentation waste liquid has the only difference from the specific operation of Example 1 that in (2), 30 g of papain is used to replace α-amylase for enzymolysis under the conditions of 50°C and pH 6.0 for 90 min to obtain an enzymolysis liquid.
[0028] Comparative Example 5 The Clostridium pasteurianum fermentation waste liquid is directly treated through (3)-(4) and used as a regenerated carbon source.
[0029] Application Example 1 The regenerated carbon sources prepared in each example and each comparative example of the application are used in the wastewater biological denitrification process to verify the denitrification effect, and the specific operation is as follows: At room temperature, the municipal wastewater sample to be treated is uniformly divided into multiple parts. The content of each index in the wastewater is as follows: the total nitrogen concentration is 58.64 mg / L, the COD is 220.00 mg / L, 100 mL of the regenerated carbon source is added per liter of wastewater, stirring is started, and the wastewater is treated at room temperature for 12 h. According to the total nitrogen concentration in the denitrification process, the effluent can reach the urban sewage level A standard, and the total nitrogen removal rate is calculated.
[0030] In the application example, the pH value is detected according to the electrode method specified in the HJ 1147-2020 standard; the chemical oxygen demand (COD) is determined by the dichromate method specified in the HJ / T 828-2017 standard; and the total nitrogen (TN) content is determined by the ultraviolet spectrophotometric method with alkaline potassium persulfate digestion specified in the HJ636-2012 standard. The detection results are shown in Table 1.
[0031] Table 1 Detection results of sewage treatment COD (mg / L) COD removal rate (%) TN (mg / L) Total nitrogen removal rate (%) Initial water quality 220 / 58.64 / Example 1 12.33 94.4 4.52 92.3 Example 2 12.15 94.5 4.37 92.5 Example 3 12.77 94.2 5.30 91.0 Example 4 12.20 94.5 4.66 92.1 Comparative Example 1 15.85 92.8 12.20 79.2 Comparative Example 2 18.00 91.8 21.50 63.3 Comparative Example 3 13.08 94.1 10.35 82.3 Comparative Example 4 19.33 91.2 23.18 60.5 Comparative Example 5 22.27 89.9 28.33 51.7
[0032] In addition, Figure 2 The total nitrogen removal rate of each different regenerated carbon source is shown in the result graph.
[0033] Table 2 combines Figure 2 As can be seen from the results, in the embodiments of the present application, the regenerated carbon source prepared by using amylase and glucoamylase complex enzyme preparation for enzymatic hydrolysis treatment and membrane filtration with butyric acid Clostridium fermented waste liquid as raw material shows excellent denitrification effect in sewage treatment, which can reduce the total nitrogen content of the initial sewage from 58.64 mg / L to less than 5 mg / L, and the removal rate of total nitrogen reaches 92.5% at most. In addition, the COD value of the sewage can also reach the first-class water quality standard (i.e. ≤15 mg / L).
[0034] In Comparative Examples 1-4, on the basis of each embodiment, only one enzyme preparation or adjusting the type and order of enzyme hydrolysis of enzyme preparation is used, and the regenerated carbon source prepared also shows a certain denitrification effect, but the effect is obviously lower than that of each embodiment. The reason for the above phenomenon may be that the waste liquid used in the present application contains a certain amount of starch components. If only α-amylase is used for enzymatic hydrolysis, it can only break the α-1,4-glycosidic bond in polysaccharides, and the degradation and utilization degree of polysaccharides such as starch in the waste liquid is limited. The saccharifying enzyme can also break the α-1,6-glycosidic bond. Therefore, the complex enzyme hydrolysis of the two can more effectively hydrolyze the polysaccharide components in the waste liquid into small molecule carbon sources that are beneficial to microbial decomposition and utilization. In addition, although stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis can also achieve good results, the enzymatic hydrolysis process is time-consuming, thereby increasing the complexity of the process and reducing the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis.
[0035] In addition, although the waste liquid used in the present application contains part of the protein components, it can be removed by membrane treatment. If protease is used for enzymatic hydrolysis, the protein in it will be decomposed into small molecule amino acids, which will make the nitrogen source components in the carbon source too much, not only increasing the difficulty of separation in the later stage, but also increasing the difficulty of denitrification of the system.
[0036] In Comparative Example 5, if the Clostridium paraputrificum fermentation waste liquid is directly used as the regenerated carbon source after simple treatment, it also has a certain denitrification ability because the Clostridium paraputrificum fermentation waste liquid contains 1,3-propanediol, sodium butyrate, sodium acetate and other small molecule carbon source components, and also contains a small amount of magnesium sulfate and other inorganic salt components, which is beneficial to the propagation of denitrifying bacteria to a certain extent. However, because the waste liquid also contains a large amount of protein, starch and other components, it may increase the complexity and difficulty of the system treatment, and therefore the availability of directly using it as a carbon source is not high.
[0037] The above-described embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of protection of the present application.
