Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a biological treatment method for high-concentration DMF wastewater, belonging to the technical field of wastewater treatment. Background Art
[0002] N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) boasts a high boiling point, low freezing point, and excellent chemical and thermal stability. It is an excellent organic solvent and fine chemical raw material, widely used in many industries, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. Known as a "universal solvent," DMF is miscible with water and a variety of organic solvents. At room temperature, it is completely miscible with water, ethers, alcohols, ketones, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and other organic compounds. However, DMF production and application processes generate DMF wastewater, which is highly toxic, difficult to degrade, and poses a significant threat to the environment.
[0003] Currently, DMF wastewater treatment primarily involves physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods for treating DMF-containing wastewater primarily include distillation, extraction, and adsorption. These methods are often used to treat wastewater with high DMF content while also achieving recovery and reuse. However, these methods require high energy consumption and equipment investment. Chemical methods for treating DMF-containing wastewater primarily include alkaline hydrolysis, Fenton oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation, and supercritical water oxidation. These methods are generally used to treat wastewater containing medium to low concentrations of DMF. Compared to physical and chemical methods, biological treatment offers advantages such as environmental friendliness, mild conditions, resource conservation, non-toxic decomposition products, and the ability to achieve a virtuous cycle of substances. Even after DMF wastewater is recovered and reused, a small amount of DMF may still remain. Using physical and chemical methods would significantly increase costs. In this case, biological pretreatment can not only degrade DMF into non-toxic substances but also improve the biodegradability of the wastewater. Therefore, it is necessary to develop suitable, efficient, and low-cost treatment methods for residual DMF in wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a biological treatment method for high-concentration DMF wastewater, which uses bacteria to treat high-concentration DMF wastewater to achieve high efficiency, low cost and environmentally friendly effects.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: a biological treatment method for high-concentration DMF wastewater, the method is as follows:
[0006] Step S1: sampling around the chemical plant;
[0007] Step S2: preparing enrichment culture medium with different concentrations of DMF as the sole carbon and nitrogen source, treating the sample obtained in step S1 and then adding it to the culture medium for culturing;
[0008] Step S3: When the OD600nm When the maximum value is reached, the concentration of DMF is detected;
[0009] Step S4: When the DMF degradation rate reaches 90%, high-throughput sequencing is performed to obtain the bacterial species composition; when the DMF degradation rate is less than 50%, a carbon source is added; when the DMF degradation rate increases to more than 80%, high-throughput sequencing is performed to obtain the bacterial species composition;
[0010] Step S5: preserving the mixed bacterial strain with a DMF degradation rate of 80%-90% in step S4, preparing cryovials containing 20% glycerol and storing them at -80°C;
[0011] Step S6: activating and expanding the mixed bacterial strain cryopreservation tube in step S5;
[0012] Step S7: adding the mixed strains in step S6 to the high-concentration DMF wastewater for biological fermentation pretreatment;
[0013] Step S8: During the fermentation process, the growth of the microorganisms and the changes in COD are regularly monitored. When the microorganisms are in the logarithmic growth phase, the microorganism genomic DNA is extracted and high-throughput sequencing is performed on the microorganisms in the fermentation wastewater to determine the proportion of bacterial genera and the dominant bacterial genera in the final fermentation wastewater;
[0014] Step S9: During the fermentation process, when the treatment efficiency of the mixed bacterial community decreases, a certain bacterial genus is added according to the bacterial genus ratio in step S8 to make the ratio consistent, and a carbon source and growth factors required for growth are added.
[0015] Preferably, the enrichment culture medium with DMF as the sole carbon and nitrogen source at different concentrations as described in step S2 is an enrichment culture medium with DMF as the sole carbon and nitrogen source at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3%.
[0016] Preferably, the culture conditions in step S2 are specifically: culture at 30° C. and pH 7.
[0017] Preferably, the mixed microorganisms in step S5 include Paracoccus, Pseudomonas, Alcaligenes, Ochrobacturm, and Bacillus.
[0018] Preferably, the carbon source in step S4 and the carbon source in step S9 include glucose and starch. Adding other carbon sources such as glucose and starch during the mixed strain screening process improves the biodegradability of DMF, helps DMF-degrading bacteria form biofilms, and thus improves the degradation rate of DMF.
[0019] Preferably, the ratio of biodegradable organic carbon to total organic carbon in the high-concentration DMF wastewater described in step S7 is greater than 50%, B / C>0.3, COD is 10,000-30,000 mg / L, and DMF concentration is 500-3,500 mg / L.
[0020] Preferably, in step S7, the fermentation system is fed with water intermittently at a low load in the early stage, and then fed with water continuously at a high load in the later stage. The intermittent feeding at a low load in the early stage allows the wastewater and the mixed bacteria to be fully mixed; then the high load is continued continuously, and the impact force of the high load is used to fully biochemically treat the wastewater.
[0021] Preferably, before adding the mixed bacterial strains in step S7, urea and phosphate are added to make the molar ratio of C:N:P in the wastewater equal to 190-210:4-6:1.
[0022] Preferably, the composition of the mixed microorganisms in step S8 is 25-36% Paracoccus genus, 23-30% Pseudomonas genus, 18-22% Alcaligenes genus, 15-20% Ochrobacturm genus, 10-15% Bacillus genus and others <5%.
[0023] Preferably, the growth factors in step S9 are vitamins, biotin and trace elements.
[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention performs sampling under special conditions, screens mixed bacterial strains in a targeted manner, and provides mixed bacterial strains with strong specificity and good effects for biological pretreatment, especially for wastewater with high DMF content.
[0025] (2) Compared with single bacteria for degrading DMF, the mixed strain selected in the present invention converts DMF in wastewater into dimethylamine and methylamine through the mixed strain biological fermentation process, and finally converts it into ammonia and carbon dioxide, which can improve the biodegradability by 2-5 times, and removes 60%-90% of COD and ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater, reducing the load of the subsequent conventional sludge system and improving the treatment efficiency of the subsequent conventional sludge system.
