Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a degradable carbon source and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to alleviate and control the eutrophication of water bodies, most sewage treatment plants have the characteristics of low carbon and relatively high nitrogen and phosphorus. When the content of organic matter is too low, the conventional denitrification process cannot meet the demand for carbon source in the anoxic denitrification stage. The insufficient supply of carbon source in the denitrification process will reduce the denitrification speed, and the denitrification bacteria will utilize the endogenous protoplasm for endogenous denitrification, thereby reducing the activity and quantity of the denitrification bacteria, and causing the denitrification to weaken or even stop, which greatly affects the denitrification effect of the sewage treatment plant.

[0003] The conventional carbon sources include starch, methanol, sodium acetate and industrial glucose. The high-molecular sugar such as starch needs to be converted into small-molecule organic acids such as acetic acid and formic acid to be utilized. Although methanol is a fast and easy-to-degrade organic matter, it also needs to be converted into low-molecular organic acids such as acetic acid to be utilized by microorganisms. The defects of sodium acetate and industrial glucose as carbon sources mainly lie in that the dosage is difficult to control, and secondary pollution and sludge bulking are easily caused. The treatment cost of sludge is high, which increases the cost of sewage treatment. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to provide a degradable carbon source and a preparation method and application thereof, so as to solve the problems of secondary pollution and sludge bulking caused by the carbon source.

After water is removed by reduced pressure concentration, a solid carrier is obtained. The hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer is selected as a raw material. The hydrogen in the amino group in the structure of the hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer forms a hydrogen bond with Si-O on the structure of the zeolite. The hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer is adsorbed and grafted on the zeolite, so that the solid carrier is obtained. The zeolite is an inorganic particle. Since there are hydroxyl groups on the surface, the hydrogen bonds are easily formed, so that the interparticle force is large, the agglomeration force is strong, and the agglomeration is easily formed. The hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer contains end amino groups, imine groups and cationic quaternary ammonium salt bonds. The solubility of the hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer is better than that of the conventional quaternary ammonium salt polymer. After the hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer is adsorbed and grafted, the problem that the zeolite is easily agglomerated in the polymer is improved.

[0012] As a further scheme of the present application, the weight ratio of the hyperbranched quaternary ammonium salt polymer and the zeolite is 1:1-2; and the diameter of the zeolite is <10mu m.

[0013] As a further scheme of the present application, the high-density polyethylene is 75-80 parts by weight, the degradable polymer is 10-20 parts by weight, the plant fiber is 10-12 parts by weight, and the solid carrier is 2-3 parts by weight.

[0014] As a further scheme of the present application, the degradable polymer is one of polybutylene succinate, polycaprolactone and polylactic acid.

[0015] As a further scheme of the present application, the size of the plant fiber is less than 100 mesh.

[0016] As a further scheme of the present application, the plant fiber is one of bamboo powder, corn straw powder, wheat straw powder and peanut straw.

[0017] As a further scheme of the present application, the high-density polyethylene is 5000S, and the melt flow rate is 0.9g / 10min.

[0018] A degradable carbon source prepared according to the preparation method has a diameter of 0.3±0.1cm and a length of 2.0±0.1cm.

[0050] Table 1

[0051] Item Water contact angle / ° Formamide contact angle / ° Dichloromethane contact angle / ° Zeta potential / mv Example 1 85.48±1.34 58.41±1.42 54.35±1.77 13.12±1.25 Example 2 84.16±1.25 58.38±1.36 54.27±1.52 13.16±1.39 Example 3 84.52±1.64 58.36±1.79 54.68±1.95 13.15±1.41 Example 4 86.23±1.54 58.41±1.96 54.20±1.65 13.19±1.58 Example 5 85.36±1.87 58.65±1.20 54.54±1.57 13.11±1.33 Comparative Example 1 87.49±1.24 60.64±1.68 56.92±1.36 12.15±1.14 Comparative Example 2 95.55±1.92 74.21±1.21 57.95±1.74 -37.1±1.31

[0052] From the test results, it can be seen that the degradable carbon source prepared in the application has better amphiphilicity, the Zeta potential after treatment becomes positive, and can better adsorb microorganisms; and the performance of the carbon source is stable, and secondary pollution is not easy to occur.

[0053] NO3 - -N removal rate: samples prepared in example 2 and comparative examples 1-2 are tested, artificial configuration simulation wastewater (50mg / L NO3 - -N, 1mg / L TP) and active sludge with a final concentration of 800mg / L are used. The flask is placed in a shaking incubator set at 80r / min and 25℃, and water samples are taken every 24h for COD, NO3 - -N and NO2 - -N concentration determination;

[0054] NO3 - -N is determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry; NO2 - -N is determined by N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine photometry; and COD is determined by potassium dichromate method.

[0055] NO3 - -N removal rate calculation formula: NRR=100% x (NO 3(Nin) -NO 3(Nef) -NO 2(Nef) ) / NO 3(Nin)

[0056] In the formula, NO 3(Nin) , NO 3(Nef) are the influent and effluent NO3 - -N concentrations, mg / L; and NO 2(Nef) is the effluent NO2 - -N concentration, mg / L.

[0057] The effluent COD concentration (mg·L -1 ) is shown in Table 2:

[0058] Table 2

[0059] Days Example 2 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 2 125 171 127 4 85 165 71 6 54 123 56 8 50 118 60 10 48 110 53 12 55 124 43

[0060] NO3 - The -N removal rate results are shown in Table 3:

[0063] From the test results, it can be seen that the degradable carbon source NO3 - The -N removal rate is higher, and the denitrification effect is stable. The reason may be that the dispersibility of the solid carrier is better, which is more conducive to the contact of microorganisms on the one hand, the surface performance of the material is more uniform, the reaction process is more uniform, on the other hand, the cavity formed by the hyperbranched structure is more conducive to the slow-release process, the effluent COD concentration is low, and there is no accumulation, and the denitrification effect is good.
