Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of environmental protection purification, and in particular to a method for separating biosulfur. Background Art
[0002] Biological desulfurization technology is a new process developed in the 1980s to replace conventional desulfurization. It has many advantages, such as no need for catalysts and oxidants, no need to treat chemical sludge, little biological pollution, low energy consumption, sulfur recovery, high efficiency, no odor, etc. The disadvantages are that the process is difficult to control and the conditions are demanding.
[0003] The elemental sulfur (biosulfur) obtained by biological transformation is very different from the chemical sulfur element in nature in many aspects. Lettinga et al. explored the characteristics of the biosulfur obtained by microbial transformation and observed the morphological characteristics of the biosulfur and found that the surface of the biosulfur was very rough and uneven. The protrusions on the surface were various biomacromolecules attached to the surface of the biosulfur particles, which formed a sharp contrast with the chemical sulfur particles. The surface of the chemical sulfur particles was very smooth and had a regular geometric shape. He found that the long-chain polymers on the surface of these biosulfur particles also carried negative charges, which had a significant negative effect on the aggregation and precipitation of sulfur particles. Therefore, the elemental sulfur obtained by biological transformation was in a colloidal state, not easy to settle and aggregate, and was suspended in water, making it difficult to separate from water.
[0004] At present, the commonly used methods for separating particulate matter mainly include gravity sedimentation, centrifugal sedimentation, flocculation sedimentation, flotation, etc. Regarding the separation method of biosulfur, the current research mainly focuses on the separation of biosulfur in the process of sulfide removal.
[0005] Janssen et al. found that the surface of biosulfur particles is negatively charged, so they proposed to use flocculation sedimentation method to achieve separation by adding cationic flocculants to the water containing biosulfur particles. Li Yaxin et al. believed that the flocculation sedimentation method can separate biosulfur particles from water, but because the flocculant will wrap the biosulfur particles inside, it will cause great difficulties for the subsequent solvent extraction crystallization purification.
[0006] Li Yaxin et al. studied the recovery of elemental sulfur from the effluent after sulfide was treated by a colorless sulfur bacteria biooxidation reactor, and proposed the use of a "slow filter filtration-sand scraping-extraction-distillation" process to achieve the recovery of elemental sulfur. By controlling the filtration rate in the slow sand filter, a 76.1% to 80.0% elemental sulfur recovery rate can be achieved. Although this process route is feasible, due to the high cost of extraction, high economic cost, and high toxicity, its engineering application needs to be studied.
[0007] Shell-Paques of the Netherlands uses flotation to recover biosulfur particles. Its process equipment mainly consists of flotation tanks, inclined plate sedimentation tanks, vacuum drum filters, heat exchangers and sulfur centrifuges. Its main principle is to blow biosulfur particles to the surface of the water body through flotation methods such as pressurized flotation or dissolved air flotation, and then scrape the biosulfur particles away from the water body through surface scrapers, and further centrifuge to finally separate the biosulfur particles. However, this method not only consumes a lot of energy and has a high economic cost, but also the biosulfur particles are easily oxidized by air during the flotation process, and is not suitable for large-scale use. Summary of the invention

Then, an external voltage and a modifier are used to promote the coagulation and polymerization of biosulfur particles to form particle clusters, so that the sulfur particle size can be rapidly increased to more than 40μm, and the biosulfur particles are rapidly settled under the action of gravity and separated.

[0083] Blank example
[0084] The treated biosulfur-containing effluent with a biosulfur content of 845 μg / L is passed into the pretreatment tank, and then flows into the flocculation tank and the sedimentation tank. No immobilized complex enzyme preparations and sulfur particle modifiers are added, and no external voltage is applied. The biosulfur particles are flocculated and settled only by their own gravity.
[0085] Half an hour later, there was no obvious flocculation of the biosulfur particles, the absolute value of the Zeta potential was still 42mV, the particle size of the biosulfur particles was within 10μm, the biosulfur recovery rate was less than 20%, and the sulfur purity was less than 40%.
[0086] Comparative Example 1
[0087] The treated biosulfur-containing effluent with a biosulfur content of 845 μg / L is passed into a pretreatment tank, and 50 μg / L of an immobilized composite enzyme preparation is added to the pretreatment tank, wherein the weight ratio of papain, β-glucanase, lipase, nuclease and lysozyme is 6:4:1:1:3. The hydrolyzed biosulfur-containing effluent flows into a flocculation tank without adding voltage or sulfur particle modifier.
[0088] After treatment, the absolute value of the Zeta potential of the biosulfur particles dropped from 43mV to 5mV, and the particle size of the biosulfur particles in the flocculation tank increased from 7μm to 25μm, flowing into the sedimentation tank for separation.

[0089] Comparative Example 2
[0090] The treated biosulfur-containing effluent with a biosulfur content of 845 μg / L was passed into the pretreatment tank without adding any immobilized complex enzyme preparation. The biosulfur-containing effluent flowed into the flocculation tank, with an external voltage of 30V, but without adding sulfur particle modifier.
[0091] The absolute value of the Zeta potential of the biosulfur particles in the flocculation tank dropped from 45mV to 28mV, and the particle size increased from 7μm to 18μm. They flowed into the sedimentation tank for separation. The biosulfur recovery rate was 75% and the sulfur purity was 68%.
[0092] Comparative Example 3
[0093] The treated biosulfur-containing effluent with a biosulfur content of 845 μg / L is passed into a pretreatment tank without adding any immobilized composite enzyme preparation. The biosulfur-containing effluent flows into a flocculation tank without applying an external voltage, and 100 μg / L of a sulfur particle modifier is added, which is composed of 25 wt% composite flocculant, 7 wt% surfactant and 12 wt% sorbitol, and the rest is water.
[0094] The absolute value of the Zeta potential of the biosulfur particles in the flocculation tank dropped from 45mV to 35mV, and the particle size increased from 7μm to 20μm. They flowed into the sedimentation tank for separation. The biosulfur recovery rate was 65% and the sulfur purity was 70%.
[0095] Comparing the implementation effects of Tables 1-3, it can be seen that under the same conditions, the biosulfur-containing effluent hydrolyzed by the immobilized composite enzyme preparation alone can greatly reduce the absolute value of the Zeta potential of the biosulfur particles and increase the particle size, and the biosulfur recovery rate and sulfur purity are increased to 82% and 90%, respectively, which is worse than the effect of using an external voltage or a sulfur particle modifier alone. However, it is obviously not as good as the effect of treating biosulfur in the embodiment, and the addition amount of the composite enzyme preparation and the modifier in the embodiment is small, and the power consumption is lower.
