Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, specifically relating to a wastewater resource recovery device and method for nitrogen and phosphorus removal without external carbon sources. Background Technology
[0002] For water bodies, the most serious problem caused by excessive nitrogen and phosphorus is eutrophication. Eutrophication refers to the phenomenon where, under the influence of human activities, large amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus enter lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and other water bodies, leading to an excess of nutrients in the water, the proliferation of aquatic plants and algae, resulting in decreased water transparency, reduced dissolved oxygen, changes in water quality, and mass mortality of fish and other organisms. When algal remains decompose, they further consume dissolved oxygen, producing toxic and harmful substances during the decomposition process, causing mass mortality of other aquatic organisms. When a single type of algae controls a water body, biodiversity decreases, leading to water quality deterioration. In recent years, although the country has continuously increased its efforts to control nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants and has attached great importance to the problem of lake eutrophication, the task of addressing eutrophication remains arduous and challenging.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for removing nitrogen and phosphorus from water bodies include physical, chemical, and biological methods. Compared with physical and chemical methods, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes are widely used in existing wastewater treatment plants due to their economic advantages. The basic principle is to effectively remove total nitrogen (TN) from wastewater by converting nitrogen-containing compounds in the water into harmless nitrogen gas (N2); and to stably remove total phosphorus (TP) from the wastewater by enriching phosphorus in the sludge. In the actual use and operation of traditional biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes, both nitrogen and phosphorus removal require carbon. During biological denitrification, denitrifying bacteria use carbon sources as electron donors to reduce nitrates. When the content of organic carbon sources is insufficient, it often leads to a large accumulation of nitrites, making it difficult for biological denitrification to proceed completely. During phosphorus removal, the influent C / P ratio is a key factor affecting the competition of energy pools within polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria and polysaccharide-accumulating bacteria, because both utilize internally stored polyphosphates and sugar sources as energy for the synthesis of poly(acetic acid) (PHA) from acetic acid, while simultaneously maintaining growth. Therefore, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C / N) and the carbon-to-phosphorus ratio (C / P) have always been important influencing indicators in biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. In my country, the C / N ratio in wastewater has consistently remained at a low level. Currently, in actual wastewater treatment processes, the main solution for wastewater with a low C / N ratio is to add external carbon sources to the wastewater, which is insufficient in carbon. However, adding external carbon sources often increases costs, and excessive addition can easily cause secondary pollution.
[0004] In recent years, the global response to global warming and climate change has been driven by an increase in greenhouse gases in the environment. Due to the significant lag in the cascading effects of Earth's ecosystems, the crisis is only beginning to emerge; extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, intense, and unpredictable, making global warming inevitable. Traditional nitrogen and phosphorus biotechnology in the field of ecological environmental protection requires the addition of external carbon sources and phosphorus removal agents, mechanical aeration, and the discharge of large amounts of phosphorus-containing sludge, generating greenhouse gases such as CO2. Therefore, in terms of carbon reduction, reducing the use of external carbon sources or agents and lowering energy consumption in wastewater treatment processes is a widely accepted approach to promoting carbon reduction in wastewater treatment.
[0005] In view of this, scholars have developed a bacterial-algae symbiotic wastewater treatment process. In the bacterial-algae symbiotic system, heterotrophic bacteria utilize oxygen in the water to degrade organic matter, generating carbon dioxide, ammonium salts, nitrates, and water, which become raw materials for algae synthesis; the oxygen produced by microalgae during photosynthesis can meet the needs of bacterial life activities, and bacteria can also utilize intracellular nutrients by destroying the cell walls of microalgae. In these biochemical reactions, bacteria and algae promote and interact with each other, forming a bacterial-algae symbiotic system. However, the bacterial-algae symbiotic system currently has the following problems: (1) Within the same system, the growth rate of bacteria is fast, while the growth rate of algae is slow, and the bacterial-algae system is prone to imbalance; (2) It cannot treat nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants with high concentrations in the raw water; (3) The pollutant removal rate is low.

[0020] Furthermore, the aforementioned wastewater resource-based nitrogen and phosphorus removal device without external carbon sources has an anaerobic (anoxic) reactor shell with a rectangular or cylindrical shape, a designed hydraulic retention time of 4-6 hours, and an MLSS of 5000-6000 mg / L; the stirrer has a designed power of 10-12 W / m³, which is frequency-adjustable; and the total height of the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor (A) is not less than 4 m.

[0024] A wastewater resource-based nitrogen and phosphorus removal method without external carbon sources, utilizing the aforementioned wastewater resource-based nitrogen and phosphorus removal device without external carbon sources, includes the following steps:
[0025] (1) Before the anaerobic reactor is put into operation, mixed sludge is used for inoculation. The amount of mixed sludge added is 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the anaerobic reactor. The remaining part is filled with the sewage to be treated. Aeration is carried out continuously for 5 days, and then aeration is stopped. Water is continuously fed in and discharged until the required sludge concentration is reached. Then, high-throughput sequencing is carried out on the system. The population and abundance requirements at the phylum and class levels are met and the system can start normal operation.
[0026] (2) Before the aerobic reactor is put into operation, a mixed ecological sludge of bacteria and algae is used for inoculation. The amount of mixed ecological sludge of bacteria and algae is 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the aerobic reactor. The remaining part is filled with the sewage to be treated. The system continuously inlets and outlets the water and continuously aerates until the required sludge concentration is reached. Then, the system is subjected to high-throughput sequencing. The system starts to operate normally when the population and abundance requirements at the phylum and class levels are met.
[0027] (3) Before the photosynthetic algae reactor is put into operation, water is continuously fed in and out, and light is maintained for 12 hours and darkness for 12 hours. After the required algae SOGR is reached, microalgae sequencing is performed on the system. When the proportion of Chlorophyceae at the class level reaches more than 30%, it is considered that the domestication is successful and normal operation begins.
[0028] (4) The influent contains pollutants such as organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus. It enters the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor through the influent pipe 1. Part of the effluent returns to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor through the return pipe 3, return pump and return pipe 1. The sludge in the sedimentation tank returns to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor through the sludge discharge pump, sludge discharge pipe 1 and sludge inlet pipe 1. The influent, return and sludge are mixed by the agitator. The organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus in the influent are decomposed by the anaerobic sludge or anoxic sludge in the anaerobic (anoxic) sludge layer. After decomposition, H2, CO, CH4 and CO2 enter the photosynthetic algae reactor through the gas outlet pipe 1, aeration pipe 2 and aeration disc 2. The decomposed pollutants in the water enter the aerobic reactor with the effluent.
[0029] (5) The effluent from the anaerobic reactor enters the aerobic reactor. Part of the effluent from the photosynthetic algae reactor returns to the aerobic reactor via return pipe three, return pump, and return pipe two. The pollutants in the influent and return effluent are decomposed by the aerobic sludge in the aerobic sludge layer. After decomposition, part of it becomes H2, CO, CH4, CO2, N2, and H3P, which enter the photosynthetic algae reactor through air outlet pipe two, aeration pipe two, and aeration disc two. The decomposed pollutants in the water enter the sedimentation tank with the effluent.
[0030] (6) The effluent from the aerobic reactor enters the sedimentation tank, where the wastewater undergoes sludge-water separation. The remaining sludge is returned to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor and the photosynthetic algae reactor through the sludge discharge pump and sludge discharge pipe according to the control requirements.
[0031] (7) The effluent from the sedimentation tank enters the photosynthetic algae reactor. The wastewater is decomposed by the photosynthetic algae sludge after passing through the photosynthetic algae layer. The effluent is directly discharged. The generated O2 gas enters the aerobic reactor through the three gas outlet pipes, the one aeration pipe, and the one aeration disc. The algae sludge is periodically discharged as biomass fuel.
[0032] Furthermore, in the aforementioned wastewater resource recovery method for nitrogen and phosphorus removal without external carbon sources, the effluent from the photosynthetic algae reactor does not flow back when the effluent meets the standards.
[0033] Furthermore, in the aforementioned wastewater resource recovery method for nitrogen and phosphorus removal without external carbon sources, when the effluent COD fails to meet the standard, the effluent pipe of the photosynthetic algae reactor is opened for reflux, and adjustments are made as follows:
[0034] ① If the exceedance is within 10%, 50% should be refluxed to the aerobic reactor;
[0035] ② If the exceedance is 10%-25%, 100% of the sample should be refluxed to the aerobic reactor;
[0036] ③ If the exceedance is 26%-50%, 200% is refluxed, 100% is returned to the aerobic reactor, and 100% is returned to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0037] ④ If the concentration exceeds the standard by more than 50%, 300% should be refluxed to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0038] When the nitrogen content of the effluent does not meet the standard, the effluent pipe 4 of the photosynthetic algae reactor will be opened for reflux. Adjustments should be made as follows:
[0039] 1) If the exceedance is within 10%, 50% should be recirculated to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0040] 2) If the standard exceeds the limit by 10%-25%, 100% should be refluxed to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0041] 3) If the exceedance is 26%-50%, reflux 200% to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0042] 4) If the concentration exceeds the standard by more than 50%, 300% should be refluxed to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0043] When the effluent P does not meet the standard, the sludge discharge pipe of the sedimentation tank is opened for backflow, and adjustments are made as follows:
[0044] a. If the exceedance is within 20%, 50% is recirculated to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0045] b. If the exceedance is 20%-50%, 100% is refluxed to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor;
[0046] c. If the standard is exceeded by more than 50%, 200% or 150% will be returned to the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor, and 50% will be returned to the photosynthetic algae reactor.
[0047] When both COD and N in the effluent fail to meet the standards, adjustments should be made according to the N non-compliance plan; when both COD and P in the effluent fail to meet the standards, adjustments should be made according to the P non-compliance plan; when both N and P in the effluent fail to meet the standards, adjustments should be made simultaneously according to both the N non-compliance plan and the P non-compliance plan.
[0048] Furthermore, in the aforementioned wastewater resource-based nitrogen and phosphorus removal method without external carbon sources, when the pressure gauge exceeds 1.0 MPa, the exhaust valve automatically opens to release the gas from the system.
[0049] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0050] 1. This invention combines anaerobic / anoxic, aerobic and photosynthetic algae, with a simple process. Under normal operating conditions, through the exchange and circulation between gaseous, solid and liquid substances, it can achieve near-zero carbon emissions in the process of treating wastewater without the need for chemical phosphorus removal agents, external carbon sources, mechanical aeration, discharge of residual sludge.
[0051] 2. The hydraulic retention time and MLSS index of the anaerobic (anoxic) reactor of the present invention are lower than those of traditional anaerobic (anoxic) reactors, which can reduce the amount of sludge.
[0052] 3. The sedimentation tank of the present invention adopts incomplete sedimentation, with short sedimentation time, high surface load, and high reflux ratio, which can achieve the advantage of allowing part of the sludge to settle, while the unsettled part enters the photosynthetic algae reactor with the effluent as food for algae, thereby reducing the amount of sludge.
[0053] 4. The suspended packing material of the photosynthetic algae reactor of the present invention can overcome the problem of uneven lighting in traditional algae systems and save light sources.
[0054] 5. This invention targets nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants, and can treat nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants of various concentrations with excellent effluent quality. When the effluent quality is optimal, it can reach the Class III standard limit of the Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB3838-2020).
[0055] 6. This invention sets up the bacteria and algae systems separately and uses them in combination, overcoming the problem of unbalanced growth of bacteria and algae in traditional bacteria-algae symbiotic systems.
[0056] 7. This invention not only reduces the addition of carbon sources, but also reduces energy consumption in aeration because the oxygen generated by the system dissolves in the wastewater. Attached Figure Description

The decomposed gas enters the photosynthetic algae reactor through the gas outlet pipe 1, the aeration pipe 2, and the aeration disc 2. The decomposed pollutants in the water enter the aerobic reactor with the effluent. (5) The effluent from the anaerobic reactor enters the aerobic reactor. Part of the effluent from the photosynthetic algae reactor returns to the aerobic reactor via return pipe three, return pump, and return pipe two. The pollutants in the influent and return effluent are decomposed by the aerobic sludge in the aerobic sludge layer. The decomposed gas enters the photosynthetic algae reactor through gas outlet pipe two, aeration pipe two, and aeration disc two. The decomposed pollutants in the water enter the sedimentation tank with the effluent. (6) The effluent from the aerobic reactor enters the sedimentation tank, where the wastewater undergoes sludge-water separation. The remaining sludge is returned to the anaerobic reactor and the photosynthetic algae reactor through the sludge pump and sludge discharge pipe according to the control requirements. (7) The effluent from the sedimentation tank enters the photosynthetic algae reactor. The wastewater is decomposed by the photosynthetic algae sludge after passing through the photosynthetic algae layer. The generated O2 enters the aerobic reactor through the three air outlet pipes, the one aeration pipe, and the one aeration disc. The effluent is discharged directly, and the algae sludge is discharged periodically as biomass fuel.
