Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of environmental chemistry, and in particular to a method for measuring the concentration of ammonia nitrogen in anaerobic digestion sludge. Background Art

[0002] Anaerobic digestion of sludge is a common method for the stable degradation of organic pollutants, and can treat sludge with a high organic content. In this process, organic matter is anaerobically decomposed to produce a large amount of high-calorific value biogas as energy, turning the sludge into a resource. Therefore, it has been widely used in the harmless treatment and resource utilization of solid wastes such as agricultural waste, food waste and surplus sludge from sewage treatment plants. During the anaerobic digestion process, nitrogenous substances in the fermentation materials, such as protein, urea and nucleic acid, are eventually converted into ammonia nitrogen (including free ammonia NH3 and ammonium ions NH4 + Although ammonia nitrogen is an essential nutrient for anaerobic microorganisms in the anaerobic digestion process, and a certain concentration of ammonia nitrogen can provide a good buffering effect for the system, excessively high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen in the system often inhibit the normal life activities of microorganisms and are considered one of the most common causes of instability in anaerobic digestion systems. To ensure the stability of the anaerobic digestion process, the ammonia nitrogen content in the sludge must be regularly monitored.

[0003] Currently, there is no national standard for the determination of ammonia nitrogen in anaerobic digestion sludge. The industry often refers to standards or patents for the determination of ammonia nitrogen in water, sewage sludge, and soil. Therefore, distillation-neutralization titration or spectrophotometry are commonly used to determine ammonia nitrogen content. Titration is only applicable to sludge samples that have undergone high-temperature heating and distillation pretreatment. If the sludge sample contains substances that can be distilled under these conditions and react with acid during titration, such as volatile amines, the measurement result will be biased high. Although the Nessler reagent spectrophotometry method does not require distillation pretreatment, it can provide relatively accurate ammonia nitrogen measurements. However, when using the Nessler reagent spectrophotometry method, if conventional centrifugal filtration is used to pretreat anaerobic digestion sludge, the measured value may be underestimated due to factors such as incomplete release of ammonia nitrogen from interstitial spaces between sludge particles and ammonia nitrogen adsorption by sludge particles.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology is inaccurate when measuring the ammonia nitrogen content in anaerobic digestion sludge. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problems existing in the existing technology, the present invention uses an ultrasonic treatment method to pretreat the diluted sludge sample to fully release the ammonia nitrogen on the surface and gaps of the sludge particles, and then removes the interference of other impurities by centrifugation.
