Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a method for preparing a core-driven immobilized carrier and a membrane reaction system. Background Art

[0002] Since the 1980s, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have attracted attention from countries around the world. After more than 30 years of rapid development, membrane bioreactors have been widely used in the water treatment industry. Their good mud-water separation performance can increase the amount of sludge in the reaction tank and shorten the hydraulic retention time. Compared with the traditional method that requires the setting up of multiple reaction tanks, MBRs have the advantages of small footprint, higher degree of integration, simple operation, and good effluent quality. However, serious membrane pollution greatly increases the operating cost of MBRs, hindering the popularization of MBRs.

[0003] In wastewater treatment, microbial immobilization technology confines suspended sludge within a reactor to a selected carrier. This helps reduce sludge loss with effluent, increases the microbial population within the reactor, shortens reaction time, and mitigates the adverse effects of water quality fluctuations on microorganisms. Selected carriers primarily include adsorbents and embedding materials. Common adsorbent materials include polyurethane foam, coral stone, and fiber bundle composite fillers. However, these materials only immobilize sludge that easily forms biofilms and have limited effectiveness against smaller, suspended sludge with poor biofilm-forming properties. While calcium alginate gel, a common embedding material, is easy to prepare, it suffers from a short lifespan, prone to microbial leakage, and high mass transfer resistance. Therefore, existing carriers used in microbial immobilization technology suffer from short lifespans and prone to microbial leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a core-driven immobilized carrier and a reaction system. The present invention has the advantages of long service life and large microbial immobilization capacity.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is a method for preparing a core-driven immobilized carrier, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Preparation of fiber balls: straightened polylactic acid fiber filaments are extruded to obtain fiber balls with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm. The fiber balls are washed with ethanol, then soaked and washed with pure water, and dried in an oven at 70 to 80° C. to obtain fiber balls A.

[0007] Step 2: Enrichment and fixation of microorganisms: First, the liquid algae species were inoculated into BG11 liquid culture medium and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase under the culture conditions of light intensity of 2500 lux, daily light duration of 24 hours, and an aeration flow rate of 1.0-2.0 L / min to obtain enriched algae species; then, the enriched algae species were inoculated into nitrification sludge to obtain a bacteria-algae mixed system; then, the bacteria-algae mixed system was inoculated into simulated sewage with an aeration flow rate of 1.0-2.0 L / min and cultured until the sludge concentration reached 3000-5000 mg / L, thereby obtaining a bacteria-algae symbiotic system;

[0008] Then, a microalgae-bacteria precipitate is obtained by centrifugation from the bacteria-algae symbiotic system using a centrifuge; the microalgae-bacteria precipitate is then added to actual sewage for re-suspending to obtain a concentrated microalgae-bacteria suspension with a concentration of 20 to 30 g / L; the fiber ball A is placed in the concentrated microalgae-bacteria suspension for 30 minutes, removed and excess liquid is drained to obtain the fiber ball B adsorbed with the concentrated microalgae-bacteria suspension.

[0009] Step 3: Preparation of casting solution: Add polymer and organic polar solvent into a three-necked flask, heat to 60-70° C. in a water bath and stir until they are completely dissolved to form casting solution.

[0010] Step 4: Immerse the fiber ball B in the casting solution for 8 to 12 seconds, then transfer it into the aqueous phase for 3 to 6 seconds to perform a phase inversion reaction to obtain the fiber ball C.

[0011] Step 5: Place fiber ball C in slowly flowing pure water for 30 minutes to allow the phase inversion reaction to proceed completely and to wash away excess organic polar solvent, thereby obtaining fiber ball D.

[0012] Step 6: Pre-cultivate the fiber ball D with simulated urban sewage for 5 days to obtain an immobilized carrier and a finished product; reduce the decrease in microbial activity caused by the immobilization operation and increase the population of microorganisms in the carrier.

[0013] In the aforementioned method for preparing a core-driven immobilized carrier, the liquid algae species in step 2 is Chlorella vulgaris from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and the nitrified sludge is from the Hangzhou Qige Sewage Treatment Plant.

[0014] In the aforementioned method for preparing a core-driven immobilized carrier, the simulated urban sewage water quality parameters in step 6 are as follows: COD 150-200 mg / L, NH3-N 80-120 mg / L, PO43--P 3-6 mg / L, NaHCO3 0.1 g / L, CaCl2 0.15 g / L, MgSO4·7H2O 0.2 g / L.

[0015] In the aforementioned method for preparing a core-driven immobilized carrier, the organic polar solvent in step three is one of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone or dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0016] A membrane reaction system comprises a membrane bioreactor tank, which is filled with an immobilized carrier prepared according to any of the preceding claims; a fixing frame is provided in the membrane bioreactor tank, and a plurality of membrane assemblies are provided on the fixing frame; a water outlet pipe is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing frame, and a suction pump is connected to the water outlet pipe; a vacuum gauge is provided on one side of the suction pump, and a water production regulating valve is provided on the other side; a water production flow meter is provided between the water production regulating valve and the suction pump; an aeration system is connected to the bottom surface of the membrane bioreactor tank, and a pH adjustment system is connected to the top surface of the membrane bioreactor tank.

[0017] In the aforementioned membrane reaction system, the aeration system includes an aeration pipe located in the membrane biological reaction tank, and a plurality of evenly distributed aeration heads are provided on the aeration pipe; the end of the aeration pipe is connected to an air compressor, and a gas flow meter is provided between the air compressor and the aeration pipe, and a gas volume regulating valve is provided on one side of the gas flow meter.

[0018] The pH adjustment system in the aforementioned membrane reaction system includes a pH probe arranged in the membrane bioreactor tank, and a dosing funnel is arranged on one side of the pH probe; a dosing tank is arranged on one side of the membrane bioreactor tank, and a dosing tube that cooperates with the dosing funnel is provided on the dosing tank. The dosing tank is connected to a dosing pump, and a liquid regulating valve is provided on one side of the dosing pump.

[0019] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention uses polylactic acid fiber as the core material of the fiber ball, then adsorbs microorganisms on the fiber ball, and then uses a polymer to construct a 100-200μm thick film on the outside of the fiber ball to form an immobilization carrier with a core drive. Compared with general microbial immobilization materials, the present invention has the advantage of low mass transfer resistance.

[0020] The core material of the present invention is polylactic acid fiber, which serves as an adsorption material to fix microorganisms during the microbial immobilization operation. When the reaction system is stably operating, it can be absorbed by microorganisms as a carbon source or decomposed into inorganic matter, making room for the proliferation of the microbial population in the carrier, thereby increasing the fixed amount and toughness of the microorganisms.

[0021] In the present invention, Chlorella and nitrifying sludge are co-cultured as high-efficiency sludge, and the characteristic of Chlorella to produce oxygen through photosynthesis is utilized to increase the dissolved oxygen concentration in the fiber balls in the carrier core, which is beneficial to maintaining the high activity of the nitrifying sludge.

[0022] In the present invention, a novel microbial immobilization carrier is coupled with a membrane bioreactor. Compared with the suspended sludge-membrane bioreactor, the present invention hinders the leakage of microorganisms into the reactor by adding an immobilization carrier, thereby delaying the formation of biofilm on the surface of the membrane component, reducing the concentration of biomass particles in the sewage that are easy to clog the membrane pores, and thus extending the service life of the membrane component.

[0023] Therefore, the present invention can not only improve the service life, but also has the advantages of large fixed amount of microorganisms, high toughness and low mass transfer resistance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0127] Comparing the present application with calcium alginate gel for immobilizing microorganisms, the present application's core-driven immobilization material treatment effect is better. The reason for this is analyzed to be the result of microorganism leakage caused by the rupture of calcium alginate gel, which shows that calcium alginate gel for immobilizing microorganisms has the disadvantages of short service life and easy to cause microorganism leakage.

[0131] Comparing the present application with light ceramsite-immobilized microorganisms, the present application's core-driven immobilized material treatment effect is better. The reasons are analyzed as follows: ① The light ceramsite settles at the bottom of the reactor and fails to fully exchange substances with the sewage; ② The opaque light ceramsite hinders the photosynthesis of Chlorella and is not conducive to the growth of Chlorella; this indicates that light ceramsite-immobilized microorganisms have the disadvantages of being not conducive to algae reproduction, having low substance exchange capacity, and low utilization efficiency.
