Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular, relates to a high-sulfate municipal sewage treatment method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] If municipal sewage containing sulfates is discharged into rivers, lakes and other surface water bodies without effective treatment, it will have an adverse effect on aquatic organisms. Sulfate ions in sewage can promote the formation of sulfates, thereby harming aquatic organisms and producing toxic gases. In addition, sulfate ions can react with other chemicals to form compounds that can corrode pipelines and other infrastructure. Therefore, it is urgent to efficiently treat municipal wastewater containing sulfates.

[0003] Currently, there are chemical precipitation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis and biological treatment methods for treating municipal sewage containing sulfates (Sahinkaya et al. 2018). The chemical precipitation method can effectively remove sulfate ions, but it produces a large amount of sludge and has high operating costs. Ion exchange and reverse osmosis can efficiently remove sulfate ions, but such processes consume a large amount of energy and have high installation and maintenance costs. Compared with other treatment methods, biological treatment is generally considered a more sustainable option because the process relies on natural processes and does not require the addition of chemicals or other treatment agents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] It should be noted that: similar labels and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship when the product of the present application is usually placed, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0040] In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like appear, they are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0042] Based on the problems pointed out in the background art, the inventors have made the following considerations:

[0043] Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) has many advantages (Maaz et al., 2019), membrane filtration process is more effective than other types of filtration process in removing pollutants, in addition, AnMBR has low sludge yield because the anaerobic digestion process has high renewable energy methane production. However, the nitrogen removal effect of membrane bioreactor for treating wastewater is not obvious, which may not meet the effluent standard of wastewater treatment plant. Coupled partial nitritation-anammox (PN / A) can effectively achieve wastewater denitrification, under the joint action of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and anammox bacteria, NH4 + -N in AnMBR effluent is converted to N2, thereby achieving the purpose of denitrification. Compared with traditional nitrification-denitrification denitrification process, this new denitrification process has the characteristics of low energy consumption, no need for external carbon source and low residual sludge yield (Wu et al., 2022), so it is considered to be the most economical denitrification technology.

[0044] The inventors consider combining the above two processes for treating high-sulfur municipal wastewater, but there is still a problem: the high sulfate-sulfur content in the wastewater has an adverse effect on the life activities of microorganisms in the sludge, and it is still a challenge to improve methane production or improve N treatment capacity. In view of this, the following scheme is proposed:

[0045] In this scheme, high-sulfur wastewater refers to wastewater with high sulfate-sulfur content, and low-sulfur wastewater refers to wastewater with low sulfate-sulfur content; sulfide product or sulfide refers to S 2- .

[0046] The application provides a high-sulfate municipal sewage treatment method, which comprises the following steps:

[0047] The high-sulfate municipal sewage is introduced into an AnMBR system for treatment to obtain first intermediate sewage;

[0048] The first intermediate sewage is subjected to aeration in a regulating tank to reduce the content of S 2- to 40 mg / L to obtain second intermediate sewage;

[0049] The second intermediate sewage is introduced into a PN / A reaction system for treatment;

[0050] The water quality indexes of the high-sulfate municipal sewage are as follows: COD is 400-500 mg / L, and sulfate-sulfur content is 20-120 mg / L.

[0051] The AnMBR system can effectively remove sulfur and COD in the sulfur-containing municipal sewage, and the sludge yield of the system is low and the methane yield is high; however, the AnMBR system has no obvious effect on the removal of nitrogen in the sewage, in the application, the effluent of the AnMBR system is further treated by using the PN / A reaction system to effectively remove nitrogen and convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen; however, due to the high sulfate content of the raw water, the effluent contains high-concentration sulfide product (S 2- ) after being treated by the AnMBR system, and the activity of microorganisms in the PN / A reaction system is affected when the effluent of the AnMBR system is directly introduced into the PN / A reaction system, which is not conducive to the removal of nitrogen, therefore, the content of S 2- in the dissolved ions in the sewage is reduced to 40 mg / L in the regulating tank before the effluent of the AnMBR system is introduced into the PN / A reaction system, so that the PN / A reaction system has a good treatment effect on nitrogen in the sewage.

[0052] In summary, the high-sulfate municipal sewage treatment method provided by the application combines the AnMBR and PN / A processes, and realizes the efficient removal of organic matter, sulfate and total nitrogen in the sewage; the membrane bioreactor part combines anaerobic fermentation and membrane separation technology, and good effluent water quality can be obtained through the membrane bioreactor, the removal rates of COD and sulfate are much higher than those of traditional biological treatment technology, the sludge yield is lower than that of the traditional anaerobic process, and the methane yield is relatively high; meanwhile, the coupled PN / A process as a subsequent treatment process of the membrane reactor realizes the efficient removal of high ammonia nitrogen content in the effluent. Compared with the traditional activated sludge method, the method provided by the application can reduce energy consumption and sludge yield, and effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

[0053] Specifically, the AnMBR system is inoculated with flocculent sludge containing anaerobic fermentation bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria; and the PN / A reaction system is inoculated with granular sludge containing ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.

[0054] Optionally, the sludge inoculated into the AnMBR system has a sludge age of 120-150 days, and the sludge in the PN / A reaction system has a sludge age of 14 days.

[0055] Preferably, to enable the microorganisms in the AnMBR system to more efficiently treat wastewater, before formal wastewater treatment, low-sulfur-content wastewater with a sulfate concentration of 1 / 12-1 / 2 of the sulfate concentration in high-sulfur municipal wastewater is introduced into the AnMBR system for 5-50 hours to achieve the effect of domesticating the microorganisms in the AnMBR system.

[0056] Further, to achieve better removal of COD and S and higher methane production in the AnMBR system:

[0058] When the water quality indicators of the high-sulfur municipal wastewater are: COD 458.8-511 mg / L, and sulfate-sulfur content 37.8-41.8 mg / L, the hydraulic retention time of the AnMBR system is set to 11-13 hours.

[0059] When the water quality indicators of the high-sulfur municipal wastewater are: COD 432.5-531.9 mg / L, and sulfate-sulfur content 37.7-44.1 mg / L, the hydraulic retention time of the AnMBR system is set to 5-7 hours.

[0060] When the water quality indicators of the high-sulfur municipal wastewater are: COD 432.3-523.9 mg / L, and sulfate-sulfur content 105.2-116.6 mg / L, the hydraulic retention time of the AnMBR system is set to 5-7 hours.

[0061] Preferably, to achieve better COD and S treatment effects and more methane production, the treatment temperature of the AnMBR system 110 is 30-35°C (e.g., 30°C, 32°C, 34°C, or 35°C).

[0062] Preferably, to enable the microorganisms in the PN / A reaction system to more efficiently treat the sewage, the low-PN / A reaction system sewage pretreatment is performed for 12-100 hours before formal sewage treatment, so as to achieve the effect of domesticating the microorganisms in the PN / A reaction system.

[0063] Further, to achieve a better N treatment effect in the PN / A reaction system:

[0064] when the S / N of the second intermediate sewage is 0.01-0.32, the hydraulic retention time is 22-26 hours;

[0065] when the S / N of the second intermediate sewage is 0.25-0.34, the hydraulic retention time is 10-14 hours.

[0066] Further, to better avoid the community migration of dominant NOB species under the condition of low ammonia nitrogen, the aeration mode in the PN / A reaction system is to stop aeration for 25-35 minutes every 50-70 minutes of continuous aeration, and the cycle is repeated.

[0067] Optionally, the aeration is the aerobic stage, and the DO value in the sewage is controlled to be 0.8-1.3 mg / L; the stop of aeration is the anoxic stage, and the DO value in the sewage is controlled to be 0.2-0.6 mg / L.

[0068] Preferably, to better achieve the N treatment effect, the treatment temperature of the PN / A reaction system is 28-32°C (for example, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C or 32°C).

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 The present application also provides a high-sulfur municipal sewage treatment system 100, which comprises an AnMBR system 110, a conditioning tank 120 and a PN / A reaction system 130.

[0074] Further, the AnMBR system 110 further comprises an exhaust pipe, and a gas flow meter 117 is arranged on the exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe is used to exhaust the methane produced in the AnMBR system 110.

[0075] Specifically, the PN / A reaction system 130 comprises an SBR reactor 133, an aeration unit, a stirrer 134, and a second water inlet and outlet unit.

[0078] Experimental example

[0079] The working volume of the AnMBR membrane tank is 3L. During the start-up phase, excess sludge from the municipal wastewater treatment plant is inoculated into the AnMBR. The concentration of mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) in the AnMBR is controlled at 6-8g / L, the reactor temperature is set at 35℃, and the sludge age is 120-150 days during stable operation.

[0080] The simulated high-sulfur urban wastewater was prepared using a configuration where the carbon source was glucose and sodium acetate, the sulfate source was sodium sulfate, and the nitrogen source was ammonium chloride. Five sets of this simulated high-sulfur urban wastewater were prepared in total, and the specific water quality indicators and hydraulic retention times are shown in Table 1.

[0081] Table 1. Water quality and hydraulic retention time in the AnMBR system for each experimental group.

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] In the table above, the sulfur content increases sequentially from the start-up group to the fourth group. When conducting the experiment, the start-up group experiment was carried out first in the same reactor, and then the first to fourth group experiments were carried out in sequence. The start-up group reaction stage is equivalent to the domestication stage of the microorganisms in the reactor before the first group experiment, while the first group experiment is equivalent to the domestication stage of the second group experiment, and so on.

[0085] After the AnMBR reactor completes its reaction, the effluent is fed into an equalization tank for further treatment of the wastewater. 2- After the concentration was below 40 mg / L, the water quality of each group was measured, and the hydraulic retention time of the PN / A reaction system reactor was set according to the water quality. The details are shown in Table 2.

[0086] Table 2. Inlet water conditions and hydraulic retention time of the PN / A reaction system

[0087]

[0088] A laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) with a working volume of 2L was used to implement a single-stage partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PN / A) process. The reactor was inoculated with granular sludge containing anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria that had been cultured for many years.

[0089] PN / A system water distribution process: Water is pumped from the equalization tank at regular intervals every day by a peristaltic pump (BT300-3J) with flow control to complete the continuous water inflow and outflow. Aeration is stopped 10 minutes before each water outflow, and the water inflow and outflow are controlled within 30 minutes (the water inflow and outflow rate is 66ml / min each time).

[0090] The speed of the electric agitator arranged at the top of the SBR reactor is 90 rpm, the gas flow rate is controlled in the range of 5-15 ml / min by a gas flow meter, and the gas circulation is started from 0:00 every day, continuously aerated for 30 minutes, then stopped for 1 hour, and then continuously aerated for 30 minutes, and the cycle is repeated. The influent DO is controlled to be less than 0.2 mg / L, the DO in the reactor is controlled to be 0.2-0.6 mg / L in the anoxic stage, and the DO is controlled to be 0.6-1.4 mg / L in the aerobic stage. The outer layer of the reactor uses a silicone rubber heating plate to keep the water temperature at 30±2℃.

[0091] The granular sludge of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria is cultivated by using tap water, NH4Cl and NaHCO3 to synthesize sewage in the PN / A start-up stage, the initial ammonia nitrogen concentration is controlled to be 100 mg / L, the pH is controlled to be between 7.5-8.0, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) is 24 hours, the reactor is intermittently aerated, the DO is 0.4-0.6 mg / L in the non-aeration state, and the DO is 0.6-1.4 mg / L in the aeration state.

[0092] After the start-up stage is over, the water discharged from the adjusting tank is introduced into the SBR reactor for treatment.

[0093] The sewage treatment effects of the whole system on each experimental group are shown in Table 3:

[0094] Table 3 Sewage treatment effects of each experimental group

[0095]

[0096] As can be seen from the above table, the four experimental groups provided in the experimental example have very good treatment effects on the simulated high-sulfur municipal sewage, and have high methane production.

[0097] Comparison group 1

[0098] This comparison group is compared with the fourth group in the experimental example, and the difference between the two is that the effluent of the AnMBR reaction system is not aerated in the adjusting tank but directly introduced into the PN / A reaction system.

[0099] Comparison group 2

[0100] This comparison group is compared with the first group in the experimental example, and the difference between the two is that the AnMBR reaction system does not set up a start-up group to domesticate anaerobic fermentation and sulfate-reducing bacteria before formal reaction.

[0101] Comparison group 3

[0102] This comparison group is compared with the first group in the experimental example, and the difference between the two is that the PN / A reaction system does not set up a start-up stage to domesticate anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria before formal reaction.

[0103] The treatment results for each control group are shown in Table 4:

[0104] Table 4. Wastewater treatment effects of each comparison group

[0105]

[0106] Table 4 shows that the treatment effects of each control group were worse than those of the corresponding experimental groups. Control group 1 had a significantly lower TN removal rate than group 4, indicating that aeration to reduce S was necessary before PN / A treatment. 2- The concentration significantly improved the TN removal rate. Comparing control group 2 with group 1, group 1 showed slightly higher COD and sulfate removal rates, as well as slightly higher methane production. This is likely due to the anaerobic fermentation and sulfate-reducing bacteria in the reactor not yet adapting to the high-sulfur environment in the early stages of treatment. Therefore, appropriate acclimatization of the anaerobic fermentation and sulfate-reducing bacteria in the reactor before formal treatment can improve the treatment effect during formal treatment. Comparing control group 3 with group 1, group 1 showed slightly higher TN removal rate. This is likely due to the anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in the reactor not yet adapting to the high-sulfur environment in the early stages of treatment. Therefore, appropriate acclimatization of the microorganisms in the reactor before formal treatment can improve the treatment effect during formal treatment.

[0107] In summary, the high-sulfate urban wastewater treatment method provided by this invention addresses the drawbacks of traditional biological wastewater treatment processes, such as high sludge production and large land area requirements, by combining AnMBR and PN / A processes. By integrating anaerobic digestion and the PN / A process into the wastewater treatment process, it achieves efficient energy recovery and deep autotrophic denitrification. This process is first based on a membrane bioreactor design, integrating membrane filtration technology into anaerobic biological treatment to efficiently decompose and remove organic matter from wastewater and generate recyclable energy. The coupled nitrification / anaerobic ammonia oxidation process utilizes ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria for autotrophic denitrification, converting ammonia in the anaerobic digestion effluent into nitrogen gas. Therefore, the high-sulfate urban wastewater treatment method provided by this invention can effectively remove sulfur, COD, and nitrogen from wastewater.
