Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for degrading retinol derivatives and hydroquinone in antiseptic cosmetic wastewater, belonging to the technical field of water treatment. Background Art
[0002] Embalming and cosmetic wastewater is a type of wastewater unique to funeral homes. This type of wastewater consists of five parts: preservative waste liquid, body thawing water, body cleaning water, whole container equipment rinsing water, and cosmetic wastewater. This type of wastewater contains three types of pollutants that require special attention: (1) Nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants. These pollutants are relatively common, but due to the relatively low concentration of organic matter in the influent, the denitrification and phosphorus removal processes based on traditional microbial methods often have poor operating results; (2) Water microbial pollution has the disadvantages of wide distribution and enhanced toxicity due to the interaction of pathogenic bacteria. Among them, the Proteobacteria and Bacillus classes are relatively more numerous, and there is even a phenomenon of the growth of a large number of pathogenic microbial groups; (3) Antiseptic and cosmetic wastewater contains persistent and difficult-to-degrade special pollutants such as cosmetics and preservatives. The main components include chemicals such as sodium fatty alcohol ether sulfate (AES), cocopropyl betaine, parachloromethyl phenol (PCMX), coconut oil diethanolamide, flavors, glycerin, etc. Although the concentration of this type of wastewater is low, it is difficult to effectively remove it through pretreatment processes and ordinary activated sludge processes. Due to their biological toxicity, environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, they have significant environmental and health risks and will have a toxic effect on subsequent treatment processes, and even paralyze the biochemical treatment process.
[0003] The use of retinol and its derivatives in the global cosmetics industry has been increasing year by year. Commonly used retinol raw materials in the cosmetics industry include retinol, retinal, retinyl acetate, retinyl propionate, retinyl retinoate, and retinyl palmitate. Retinoic acid is a relatively irritating drug and is a prescription drug, prohibiting its use in cosmetics. Retinol products are relatively irritating, and those with intolerances may experience side effects such as redness, swelling, and peeling. Some products on the market, catering to consumer demand for rapid whitening and anti-aging effects, contain excessive amounts of retinol and its derivatives. Furthermore, the use of retinol and its derivatives in cosmetics presents challenges such as instability and low utilization rates. Residues of cosmetic pollutants in wastewater can enter the human body through the food chain, posing a health risk. Furthermore, micropollutants in cosmetic wastewater can affect the physiological functions of aquatic animals and disrupt ecological balance when entering receiving water bodies.
[0004] With the growing demand for cosmetics, research on their ingredients is gaining increasing attention. Phenolic pollutants, as essential organic synthetic materials, are widely used in industrial manufacturing. They are difficult to biodegrade, and their large-scale release into natural waters not only severely damages agriculture and fisheries, but also poses serious risks to human health and, in severe cases, life-threatening consequences. The impacts of phenols on human, animal, and plant health are chronic and can last for decades or longer. Hydroquinone, a representative phenolic pollutant, is an important intermediate in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. It is also a key ingredient in the manufacture of anthraquinones, azo dyes, and photosensitive materials. It is also commonly used in rubber and food preservation, enjoying a wide range of applications. Hydroquinone, a skin lightener found in cosmetic cosmetics, is a difficult-to-remove micropollutant. Hydroquinone can be used as a skin-whitening agent, but studies have shown that frequent use can cause side effects such as dermatitis. Due to its low cost, availability, and effectiveness, it is often illegally added to cosmetics. Studies have shown that while hydroquinone can lighten dark spots and inhibit melanin production, it also has serious side effects. Long-term use can cause exogenous vitiligo and ochronosis. Furthermore, hydroquinone has a growth-inhibiting effect on aquatic organisms and is toxic to humans. Oral intake of 1g can cause acute poisoning, and 5g can be fatal.
[0005] Currently, there is no research work on cosmetic surgery wastewater. For the nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants contained therein, activated sludge processes including AAO (anaerobic / anoxic / aerobic process), SBR (sequential batch activated sludge process) and MBR (membrane bioreactor process) can be used for treatment. However, it is difficult to achieve a good degradation effect for cosmetics and preservatives that are difficult to degrade using activated sludge. Therefore, advanced oxidation technology based on electro-Fenton is generally used to remove them. However, electro-Fenton technology has the disadvantages of high dosage of reagents and large sludge output, which will increase the difficulty of processing and operating costs of the process. Therefore, establishing a safe, controllable and secondary pollution-free method for the degradation of cosmetics pollutants in cosmetic surgery wastewater is the focus and difficulty currently faced by water treatment.
[0006] Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has garnered widespread attention in recent years due to its excellent settling properties, high biomass, high pollutant removal capacity, small footprint, and low operating costs in engineering applications. AGS plays a vital role in the treatment of domestic sewage, high-concentration organic wastewater, and wastewater rich in toxic and hazardous substances. It can efficiently remove nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants from sewage, and organic matter, toxic substances, and heavy metals from industrial wastewater. In recent years, AGS has also demonstrated advantages in removing emerging pollutants. AGS can remove nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants from cosmetic wastewater. Furthermore, due to its external biological protection mechanism and the anaerobic environment it creates, AGS can protect against recalcitrant and specific pollutants in cosmetic wastewater, such as cosmetics and preservatives. This allows for excellent nitrogen and phosphorus removal, as well as the removal of specific pollutants such as retinol derivatives and phenols. Summary of the Invention

[0066] Source of raw materials:
[0067] Retinyl palmitate (brand: Aladdin, product number: MFCD00019414, purity: 96%) and hydroquinone (brand: McLean, product number: MFCD00002339, purity: 99%) were purchased from Huayuan.com. Unless otherwise specified, other raw materials used in the present invention were commercially available.
[0068] Example 1: Preparation of AGS
[0069] (1) Cultivation of AGS: The inoculated sludge was taken from a sewage treatment plant A. 2 The activated sludge in the aerobic tank of the / O process has an inoculation volume of 2 L and an MLSS concentration of 5.0 g / L. The test water inlet adopts artificial water distribution. The artificially prepared wastewater is transported into the reactor through a peristaltic pump with an inlet volume of 900 ml. The carbon source used for the artificially prepared wastewater is a mixed carbon source, in which NaAc is 357 mg·L -1 ; Sodium propionate is 894 mg·L -1 ; NH4Cl is 229 mg·L -1 ; K2HPO4 is 44.8 mg·L -1 ; KH2PO4 is 35.84 mg·L -1 MgSO4 is 97 mg·L -1 ; CaCl2 is 75 mg·L -1 EDTA: 10 mg·L -1 ; Trace elements 1ml. Trace element concentrate was prepared, and the trace element concentration in the inlet water was 1.5μg·L FeCl3·6H2O. -1 ; H3BO3 is 0.15μg·L -1 ; CuSO4·5H2O is 0.03μg·L -1 KI is 0.03 μg·L-1 ; MnCl2·4H2O is 0.12μg·L -1 ; ZnCl2 is 0.058μg·L -1 ; CoCl2·6H2O is 0.15μg·L -1 ; Na2MoO4·2H2O is 0.06μg·L -1 The COD of wastewater is 1200±20mg / L, NH4 + -N is 60±10mg / L.
[0070] The test device uses SBR with H / D of 10:1 ( Figure 1 ), an aeration device is set at the bottom of the reactor, and a rotor flowmeter is used to control the aeration volume of 2.0L / min in the oxygen flushing stage, so that AGS is formed as quickly as possible under high shear force and high hydraulic selection pressure. A time-controlled switch is used to control the status of each stage of the reactor. Each operation cycle includes four processes: water inlet, aeration, sedimentation, and drainage. The duration of each operation cycle is 240 minutes, of which the water inlet time is 5 minutes, the aeration time is 205 minutes, the sedimentation time is 5 minutes, the drainage time is 5 minutes, and the rest of the time is idle. The sedimentation time gradually shortens from 20 minutes to 5 minutes as the sludge granulation proceeds, and the drainage ratio is 50%. The sludge age is 25 days, and the reactor temperature is 25°C. After 40 days of cultivation in the reactor, fully granulated AGS is obtained, and the sludge particle size is between 0.43 mm and 0.88 mm.
[0071] (2) Acclimation of AGS
[0072] After the granulated AGS was successfully cultivated, in order to adapt the AGS to the anti-corrosion cosmetic wastewater, the COD was gradually reduced for acclimatization. The influent indicators are shown in Table 1. The original COD and NH4 + -N remains unchanged, then COD and NH4 + -N was gradually reduced for a total of 40 days of acclimation without changing other operating conditions, so that the microorganisms in the reactor could adapt to the low-concentration organic environment and obtain acclimated aerobic granular sludge.

[0074]
[0075]
[0076] (3) Adaptation of AGS
[0077] After the AGS was successfully domesticated, other operating conditions were not changed and the domesticated AGS was used to treat the anti-corrosion and cosmetic wastewater. The laboratory artificially prepared anti-corrosion and cosmetic wastewater, in which NaAc was 74.5 mg·L-1 ; Na2HPO4 7 mg / L -1 ; NH4Cl 114.6 mg / L -1 ; K2HPO4 7 mg / L -1 ; KNO3 75 mg / L -1 ; NaHCO3 155 mg / L -1 ; MgSO4 50 mg / L -1 ; CaCl2 35 mg / L -1 ; EDTA 10 mg / L -1 ; The water indicators measured after one week of culture all meet the first level A standard of Table 2 "Discharge Standard of Pollutants in Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant" (GB 18918-2002). The pollutant removal effect within one week of reactor operation is shown in Figure 2 The figure shows that AGS has an adaptation period to the change of water quality, and the pollutant removal effect of AGS has a significant increase after one week of culture. The removal rates of COD, TN and TP increase from 70.39%, 66.84% and 61.95% on the 0th day to 86.88%, 78.24% and 84.55%, respectively.

[0081]
[0082] Example 2: Removal of retinol derivatives by AGS
[0083] Retinol palmitate, a commonly used retinol derivative, was used as an example for removal experiments. SBR was used, and the AGS acclimated in step (3) of Example 1 was used as the inoculated sludge. The cosmetic and preservative wastewater containing retinol palmitate was treated, and the volume ratio of AGS to the cosmetic and preservative wastewater containing retinol palmitate was 1:5. The reaction period was consistent with the SBR in step (1) of Example 1. The influent was the artificial cosmetic and preservative wastewater prepared in step (3) of Example 1, wherein the concentration of retinol palmitate was 10 mg / L, and the other components were unchanged. Aeration was started (aeration amount was 2.0 L / min) and timing was started, and sampling was performed for one week for determination. The removal effects of pollutants and retinol palmitate are shown in Figure 3 and Table 4.
[0084] The results showed that the presence of retinyl palmitate had a certain effect on the acclimated AGS. After one day, the removal rates of COD, TN, TP, and retinyl palmitate by AGS were 32.80%, 35.56%, 50.00%, and 25.80%, respectively. The removal efficiency of AGS for retinyl palmitate improved significantly with the increase of reaction cycle. After seven days, the removal rates of COD, TN, TP, and retinyl palmitate were 84.17%, 69.34%, 85.12%, and 85.20%, respectively. This indicates that AGS can resist the toxicity of retinyl palmitate and may remove COD, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and retinyl palmitate from wastewater through adsorption and degradation.

[0086]
[0087] Example 3: Removal of hydroquinone from cosmetic surgery wastewater using AGS
[0088] SBR was used, and the AGS domesticated in step (3) of Example 1 was used as the inoculated sludge to treat the anti-corrosion and cosmetic wastewater added with hydroquinone. The volume ratio of AGS to the anti-corrosion and cosmetic wastewater with hydroquinone was 1:5, and the reaction cycle was the same as that of the SBR in step (1) of Example 1. The influent used the artificially prepared anti-corrosion and cosmetic wastewater in step (3) of Example 1, in which the concentration of hydroquinone added was 5 mg / L, and the other components remained unchanged. Aeration was started (the aeration volume was 2.0 L / min) and timing was started, and sampling was carried out for one week for measurement. The removal effect of pollutants and hydroquinone is shown in the figure. Figure 4 and as shown in Table 5.
[0089] The results showed that the presence of hydroquinone had a certain effect on the acclimated AGS. After one day, the removal rates of COD, TN, TP, and hydroquinone by AGS were 49.58%, 42.04%, 46.78%, and 33.4%, respectively. The removal efficiency of AGS for hydroquinone improved significantly with the increase of reaction period. After seven days, the removal rates of COD, TN, TP, and hydroquinone were 84.08%, 69.28%, 81.97%, and 90.4%, respectively. This indicates that AGS gradually adapted to the influent environment, was able to resist the toxicity of hydroquinone, and could remove COD, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and hydroquinone from the wastewater through adsorption and degradation.

[0093] Comparative Example 1: Comparison of treatment effects of AGS and flocculent activated sludge
[0094] Preparation of flocculent activated sludge: Flocculent activated sludge was taken from the biochemical pool of a sewage treatment plant in Wuxi, and its MLSS was about 2.0 g / L.
[0095] 100 mL of settled AGS and flocculent activated sludge were added to the reactor respectively, the MLSS in the conical flask was controlled to be the same, and then the anti-corrosion cosmetic wastewater was added to 500 mL. The reaction cycle was consistent with the SBR in step (1) of Example 1. An aeration device was used to aerate it (the aeration volume was 2.0 L / min). Two parallel groups were set up for each sludge. Retinol palmitate (5 mg / L) and hydroquinone (10 mg / L) were added. The reaction cycle was consistent with the SBR. In order to better mix the mud and water in each conical flask, magnetic stirring was used for stirring at a speed of 200 rpm. The effluent was subjected to water quality and drug determination for 5 consecutive days, and the average removal rate of pollutants in the anti-corrosion cosmetic wastewater by the two sludges was calculated.
