Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a strain of Bacillus belye and its application in degrading COD in wastewater, belonging to the field of biodegradation technology. Background Technology

[0002] PTA wastewater is a type of wastewater with high concentrations and difficulty in degrading organic pollutants. Due to the large scale of modern industrial production, the volume of wastewater discharged is correspondingly large, and if not effectively treated, it can cause significant harm to the ecological environment and human health. PTA wastewater mainly includes benzoic acid, terephthalic acid, various phenols, and other organic compounds. This type of wastewater has the following characteristics: high COD concentration: Although the situation varies among different industrial plants, the COD concentration of PTA wastewater from most factories worldwide is between 10,000 and 55,000 mg / L, and even exceeds 100,000 mg / L; low pH value: This type of wastewater contains a large amount of acidic compounds, such as benzaldehyde and benzoic acid, so its pH value is generally low, mostly between 3 and 5. Currently, methods for treating PTA wastewater include physicochemical methods and biological treatment methods. Commonly used physicochemical methods include chemical oxidation, adsorption, membrane separation, and electrochemical treatment. Biological treatment methods can use microorganisms to degrade the difficult-to-degrade organic matter into harmless substances.

[0003] The main characteristics of agricultural and livestock wastewater are high organic matter concentration, high suspended solids content, deep color, and a large number of bacteria. The high COD concentration is also due to the presence of large amounts of animal feces. The solid residue in the wastewater is mainly organic matter. This type of wastewater often requires effective solid-liquid separation; otherwise, it will cause difficulties in subsequent treatment, increase the treatment load, and affect the treatment effect. Currently, the most commonly used technologies for treating livestock wastewater are physical and biological methods. Physical methods use solid-liquid separation technologies such as filtration, centrifugation, and sedimentation. Commonly used equipment includes screens, sedimentation tanks, and sieves. Biological methods include activated sludge processes, biological contact oxidation processes, SBR, A / O, and oxidation ditches, but these processes are complex.

[0004] Microbial degradation is an effective, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and simple method for treating PTA wastewater and agricultural / livestock wastewater. However, there are currently no Bacillus species capable of simultaneously degrading COD in both PTA and agricultural / livestock wastewater. Summary of the Invention
