Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of groundwater remediation, and relates to the treatment of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater, in particular to a combined advanced treatment device and method for acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] The development of mineral resources provides strong support for economic and social development, but mining activities have also caused ecological environmental problems to some extent, and acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most serious environmental problems. AMD is a kind of difficult-to-treat wastewater with low pH, high ferrous iron (Fe 2+ ) and sulfate (SO4 2- ) and coexistence of multiple heavy metal ions, which is generated by a series of chemical and biological oxidation processes when the main sulfide minerals of pyrite (FeS2) in coal mines or various non-ferrous mines are exposed to air and groundwater or surface water during mining activities or tailings stacking, and has the characteristics of wide pollution area, long pollution duration and serious harm degree.

[0003] At present, water quality neutralization method is generally used to treat AMD, and lime, limestone and other alkaline substances are used for treatment, and the process and technology are relatively simple, but this method has insufficient treatment depth, and a large amount of sludge is generated after neutralization, which is difficult to treat and is easy to cause secondary pollution to the environment; at the same time, the generation of AMD has a certain persistence, so the long-term operation cost is high.

[0004] In addition, sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) is also used as the main working medium to treat AMD by biological method. SRB can reduce excess SO4 2- in AMD to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by using organic matter or hydrogen (H2). The generated H2S is easy to combine with metals in AMD and precipitate as stable metal sulfides, which can be recycled and utilized again. However, the anaerobic degradation of SRB has the following major defects: 1) AMD lacks the electron donors required by SRB, such as organic matter, H2, etc.; 2) the metabolic product H2S of SRB is a highly toxic, corrosive and flammable gas with obvious odor, and the conversion of H2S to elemental sulfur (S) requires an additional oxidation stage; 3) SRB needs to form a symbiotic relationship with other microorganisms in the bioreactor; 4) SRB is sensitive to external environment, such as pH, temperature, hydraulic load and substrate load; 5) the biological degradation process of SRB is a multi-stage reaction, and the time required for complete mineralization of organic compounds is much longer than that of aerobic process; 6) the applicability and effectiveness of SRB are limited by the alkalinity production capacity of the system and the acidity of the water quality (or the acid production capacity of the wastewater).

[0022] The present application also provides a combined advanced treatment method of acid mine drainage and municipal sewage by using the combined advanced treatment device.

[0023] As a preferred scheme of the present application, the treatment method comprises the following steps:

[0024] 1) The acid mine drainage is mixed with the nitrate wastewater to perform the first water quality adjustment: the nitrate wastewater is introduced into the first homogenizing adjustment tank to uniformly mix the nitrate wastewater and the acid mine drainage; the water quality of the effluent of the first homogenizing adjustment tank is determined, and the molar concentration ratio of total iron to nitrate in the acid mine drainage pollution plume flowing out of the first homogenizing adjustment tank is 2-6;

[0025] Sodium nitrate is the main raw material in the fields of enamel, glass, fertilizer, metallurgy, machinery, etc., and its demand in the market shows an increasing trend year by year. However, a considerable part of sodium nitrate exists in wastewater in the related use or production process, and direct discharge will cause water pollution. In addition, a large amount of pickling waste nitric acid will also be produced in the surface treatment process of stainless steel. At present, special treatment is needed for such nitrate wastewater, and the methods mainly include high-temperature calcination method, neutralization and recovery method, membrane filtration method, solvent extraction method, reduced pressure evaporation method, forced circulation evaporation, etc., all of which require a large treatment cost. In the present application, the nitrate wastewater is used to supplement nitrate for the acid mine drainage, and is jointly treated in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation permeable reaction wall.

[0026] 2) The acid mine drainage is mixed with the waste lye and the urban domestic wastewater to perform the second water quality adjustment: the waste lye and the urban domestic wastewater are introduced into the second homogenizing adjustment tank to uniformly mix the waste lye, the urban domestic wastewater and the acid mine drainage; the water quality of the effluent of the second homogenizing adjustment tank is determined, and the pH of the acid mine drainage pollution plume flowing out of the second homogenizing adjustment tank is 7.27-7.32, the molar concentration of ammonia nitrogen is 1 / 8-1 / 3 of the molar concentration of total iron and 2-8 times of the molar concentration of sulfate;

[0027] Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic and irritating gas, which is commonly found in sewage treatment plants, steel mills, coking enterprises, chemical plants, oil fields and other industrial processes. Among them, the absorbent method is the main means for treating hydrogen sulfide, and the commonly used absorbents include ammonia water, calcium hydroxide solution and other alkaline liquids. The absorbent method will produce a large amount of sulfur-containing salt waste lye, and the current treatment methods include acid-base neutralization method, DTRO membrane concentration technology, hollow membrane + nanofiltration treatment process, etc., which require a large equipment investment and high operation cost, and a large treatment cost needs to be invested. In the present application, the waste lye is used to adjust the pH of the acid mine drainage, supplement ammonia nitrogen and remove heavy metals, and the urban domestic wastewater further supplements ammonia nitrogen and organic matter on the basis of the first ammonia nitrogen supplement by the waste lye to the acid mine drainage to meet the metabolic stoichiometry of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria, and then is jointly treated in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation permeable reaction wall.

[0028] 3) Simultaneous denitrification, desulfurization and iron removal of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater: the acid mine drainage pollution plume seeps into the anaerobic ammonium oxidation permeable reaction wall from the second homogenization adjustment tank, the medium is anaerobic ammonium oxidation biofilm or anaerobic ammonium oxidation granular sludge, the medium filling ratio is more than 75%, and the hydraulic retention time HRT is 4-8h;

[0029] Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) process is an economic and efficient, environmentally friendly biological denitrification technology, which is particularly suitable for treating low-organic carbon and high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater. The process relies on autotrophic Anammox bacteria, and under anoxic conditions, ammonia is used as the electron donor, and nitrite is used as the electron acceptor to generate nitrogen (N2) and part of nitrate (NH4 + +1.32NO2 - →N2+0.26NO3 - ). In recent years, research has found that Anammox bacteria have diverse metabolic pathways, in addition to the nitrite-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction as described above, they can also occur sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction, ferrous-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction and iron ammonia oxidation reaction. Among them, the sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation is a biological reaction in which Anammox bacteria use ammonia as an electron donor and sulfate as an electron acceptor, and the reaction product is N2 and S (2NH4 + +SO4 2- →N2+S), the mixed wastewater of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater flowing out of the homogenization adjustment zone in the present invention has the characteristics of low COD, high NH4 + and alkaline, which is very conducive to the occurrence of sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction; the ferrous-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation is a biological reaction in which Anammox bacteria use Fe 2+ as an electron donor and (nitrate) as an electron acceptor, and the reaction product is N2 and trivalent iron (Fe 3+ )(NO3 - +5Fe 2+ →0.5N2+5Fe 3+ ), due to the adsorption and utilization of Anammox bacteria to Fe 3+ , the effluent Fe 3+ concentration is often below the detection limit; iron ammonia oxidation is a biological reaction in which Anammox bacteria use ammonia as an electron donor and Fe 3+ as an electron acceptor, and the reaction product is N2 and Fe 2+ (NH4 + +3Fe 3+ →0.5N2+3Fe 2+ ), due to the adsorption and utilization of Anammox bacteria to Fe 2+ , the effluent Fe 2+ concentration is often below the detection limit.

[0030] 4) The advanced treatment of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater: the acid mine drainage pollution plume flowing out of the ANAMMOX PRB is infiltrated into the advanced treatment PRB with the modified bentonite and fly ash composite material as the medium, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) is 3-6h, and the effluent is re-infiltrated into the soil and then into the groundwater.

[0031] As a preferred scheme of the present application, in step 4), the preparation method of the modified bentonite and fly ash composite material is as follows: fly ash and calcium oxide with a mass ratio of 1:1 are calcined at a high temperature of 1200 DEG C for 3 hours, the temperature is lowered to 600 DEG C, bentonite is added in a volume ratio of 1:1-1:3 of fly ash and bentonite, and the calcination is continued for 1.5-2 hours to obtain the modified bentonite and fly ash composite material.

[0032] In the present application, fly ash is one of the industrial wastes with the largest discharge amount, and the annual discharge amount reaches nearly 160 million tons at present, however, the utilization rate is only about 50%, and a large amount of fly ash is stacked in ash fields, which not only occupies a large amount of land resources, but also easily causes environmental pollution. Fly ash, as a solid particle with porosity and large specific surface area, can be used as an adsorbent or coagulant in wastewater treatment, has the advantage of low price, has good adsorption effect between pH values of 4-7, the heavy metal adsorption rate can reach 80-90%, the organic matter removal rate can reach 60%, the removal rates of SS, total bacterial count and coliform group are more than 90%, and the removal of color and odor is particularly obvious. However, due to the low adsorption capacity of fly ash, the removal efficiency of pollutants is low. The modified bentonite and fly ash composite material by the calcination method can significantly improve the adsorption capacity and effect.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] The present application couples the disposal of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater to achieve the purpose of "waste treatment with waste", and simultaneously realizes the reduction and resource utilization of acid mine drainage and municipal wastewater, has the advantages of low cost, high stability, high efficiency in removing multiple types of pollutants, optimal reuse of waste resources, and the like, meets the sustainable development needs of water plants and PRB technology, and is suitable for engineering popularization and application.
