Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of water advanced treatment, in particular to a sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification and phosphorus removal biological carrier with simultaneous and efficient removal of nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and phosphate, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nitrogen is one of the main causes of water eutrophication and has been widely concerned. At present, the nitrogen capacity of ecological water bodies in most regions has tended to be saturated, and is on the verge of eutrophication explosion. The nutrient content (nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and phosphate) in the secondary treated effluent of sewage treatment plants is relatively low, but it is enough to cause natural water eutrophication, which has become increasingly evident in the water quality changes of some inland river basins and lakes in recent years. Due to the limited self-purification capacity of water bodies, the environmental capacity of such regions is becoming saturated, and gradually increasing the total nitrogen emission limit of the surrounding pollution units is a powerful measure to prevent further deterioration of water quality. Although sewage treatment plants are constantly upgraded, there is still a big gap between the effluent quality and the natural water body, especially for environmentally sensitive areas, which generally need advanced treatment or rely on ecological buffer zones to narrow the gap between the effluent quality of sewage treatment plants and the natural water quality.

[0003] Sulfur autotrophic denitrification technology is a denitrification technology that has attracted much attention at present, mainly due to the low cost of elemental sulfur and the outstanding advantages of acting as an electron donor and biological carrier. However, there is a key problem with this technology, which is that the acid produced by denitrification has a negative impact on microbial activity, and external alkalinity is often needed to adjust the microbial growth environment.

[0004] A autotrophic denitrification biological carrier (CN 208980406 U) is disclosed in the prior art, which is composed of sulfur and limestone (CaCO3), and the substrate is sulfur, and the surface and interior are integrated with limestone particles to adjust the system pH and supplement the carbon source. However, the nitrate nitrogen removal capacity of this carrier applied to the advanced treatment system is limited, and it also has no obvious removal effect on the residual ammonia nitrogen and phosphate in the secondary effluent.

[0005] A slow-release electron donor and a method for advanced denitrification of wastewater using the same (CN 109879415 B) and a denitrification and phosphorus removal active biological carrier, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof (CN 109019877 B) are also disclosed in the prior art. Sulfur and siderite are physically fused together to form an integrated composite biological carrier with a new structure without changing its composition. The sulfur in the new structure can participate in the denitrification process to achieve advanced denitrification, and the siderite can assist in automatic pH adjustment, and the generated ferrous ions can be used for phosphorus removal and denitrification process. However, it still cannot remove the residual ammonia nitrogen in the secondary effluent.

[0006] Therefore, there is no autotrophic denitrification and phosphorus removal biological carrier with high efficiency in removing nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and phosphate at present, which is used for deep treatment or ecological buffer zone to meet the needs of downstream environmentally sensitive water areas as receiving water.

[0128] (II) Effects of different sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic denitrification and phosphorus removal biocarriers on the removal of nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus

[0129] 1. Comparative Example 1

[0130] The sulfur autotrophic denitrification and phosphorus removal biological carrier provided in this comparative example differs from Example 1 only in that it is composed solely of elemental sulfur as the matrix material, without the addition of active materials (alkaline magnesium compounds and / or minerals containing alkaline magnesium compounds).

[0131] 2. Comparative Example 2

[0132] This comparative example is Example 1 of the prior art CN109019877B.

[0133] 3. Methods for removing nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus

[0134] The autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carriers prepared in Examples 1-5, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were respectively used as filler 5 and placed in a container as shown in the figure. Figure 4 In the fixed-bed filter 7 of the provided wastewater treatment device, the filling ratio is 70%. Anaerobic sludge from a wastewater treatment plant is added to the fixed-bed filter 7 and soaked for 24 hours before water flow is introduced for startup. During startup, the hydraulic retention time of the fixed-bed filter reactor is set to 1 hour. A peristaltic pump is used to stably deliver culture medium (containing nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus, etc.) into the reactor for dynamic cultivation and acclimatization. Samples are taken and tested every 24 hours until the concentrations of nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus in the effluent reach stability. The nitrate nitrogen concentration in the simulated wastewater is 30 mg / L. -1 The ammonia nitrogen concentration was 4 mg / L. -1 The total phosphorus concentration was 3.5 mg / L. -1 The influent pH was 7.52 ± 0.10. The concentrations of nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus in the effluent were measured, and the removal rates of nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus, as well as the effluent pH, are shown in Table 2.

[0135] Table 2. Removal rates of nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus, and effluent pH

[0136] Nitrate nitrogen removal rate Ammonia nitrogen removal rate Total phosphorus removal rate Effluent pH Example 1 80.7±3.9% 52.1±3.1% 22.5±1.4% 7.31±0.11 Example 2 72.2±1.9% 62.7±3.6% 39.6±2.1% 7.35±0.17 Example 3 90.9±3.2% 85.6±4.2% 60.1±4.2% 7.35±0.12 Example 4 87.3±2.4% 72.3±2.8% 57.2±3.4% 7.29±0.23 Example 5 92.1±2.2% 98.1±1.5% 70.1±3.6% 7.31±0.14 Comparative Example 1 58.2±1.4% Not removed 10.2±3.2% 6.98±0.13 Comparative Example 2 84.3±5.7% Not removed 76.0±8.0% 7.01±0.11

[0137] In the process of continuous flow water, stable biofilm gradually grows on the surface of the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier, and the removal capacity of nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen gradually increases. Among them, the nitrate removal rate of the effluent of Example 5 is 92.1±2.2%, which is increased by 33.9% compared with the nitrate removal rate of Comparative Example 1, and the removal effect of nitrate removal rate is increased by 7.8% compared with Comparative Example 2; the ammonia nitrogen removal rate of the effluent of Example 5 is 98.1±1.5%, while Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 have no obvious removal of ammonia nitrogen; the total phosphorus removal rate of the effluent of Example 5 is 70.1±3.6%; the pH of the effluent of Example 5 can be maintained at 7.31±0.14, which is beneficial to the process of denitrification and phosphorus removal.

[0138] Therefore, when the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier of the application is filled in the fixed bed filter, the nanoflower structure of the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier gives it a large specific surface area and more active sites Figure 2 , and the released OH - , CO3 2- and other alkaline components can realize the automatic balance of pH, thereby facilitating the enrichment and growth of more microorganisms; the sulfur in the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier prepared by the method of the application is converted from zero-valent sulfur to polysulfide, and the circular sulfur is converted to linear sulfur Figure 3 , which is more conducive to the enrichment of denitrifying bacteria with reduced sulfur as electron donor, thereby giving the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier stable high denitrification efficiency. When the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier appears performance attenuation due to consumption, the bed layer can be restored to the original height by supplementing the prepared active biological carrier, without additional operations such as mixing.

[0139] The sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier provided by the application has high removal capacity for ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus: when the sulfur-based magnesium-containing autotrophic nitrogen and phosphorus removal biological carrier provided by the application is used as filler to construct a packed bed, the dissolved free magnesium ions can promote the absorption and utilization of nitrifying bacteria to ammonia nitrogen by improving the transport efficiency of ammonia nitrogen into the cell; as shown in Figure 5 , the dissolved magnesium ions can combine with phosphate to form chemical precipitates to control the effluent phosphate. It has broad application prospects.

[0140] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the application, but not to limit them; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent substitutions for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application.
