Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of advanced wastewater treatment and biomass ash reuse, specifically to a method and system for removing trace pollutants from wastewater treatment plant effluent using biomass ash. Background Technology

[0002] Frequent pandemics of influenza have highlighted the widespread concern about water pollution caused by the large-scale production and use of pharmaceuticals. Wastewater treatment plants, as the first recipients of drug residues, determine the pathways and fates of various drugs after human ingestion through their treatment processes. As emerging, persistent trace pollutants, antibiotics and antiviral drugs have been widely detected in surface water, sediments, and wastewater treatment plant effluents, with concentrations reaching ng·L⁻¹. -1 -μg·L -1 However, conventional wastewater treatment processes cannot effectively degrade recalcitrant trace pollutants in municipal wastewater, and the high detection rate of trace pollutant residues in effluent remains a thorny issue in the wastewater treatment field.

[0003] Furthermore, due to increasingly stringent requirements for the development of a circular economy and ecological environmental protection in the industry, the large-scale storage of ash has become a bottleneck restricting the upgrading and sustainable development of the biomass power generation industry. Most of my country's biomass power plants are located in underdeveloped areas, where the development of ash resource utilization is late and the utilization rate is low. Whether such a large volume of ash is directly landfilled or used in building materials, agriculture, forestry, or environmental protection, it poses a significant challenge to ecological environmental protection and the industry's development needs.

[0004] Biomass ash has an alkaline surface and carries a negative charge, making it suitable as an adsorbent for purifying domestic sewage. Functional filter media / fillers produced from biomass ash are applied to the treatment of black and odorous water bodies or wetland projects in sewage treatment plants, showing significant effects on improving water quality and promoting wetland plant growth. However, they have minimal effect on the degradation of trace pollutants in the effluent, and the biodegradability of the effluent is not high.

[0005] Therefore, how to expand the high-value utilization of ash in the wastewater field and achieve efficient removal of trace pollutants in wastewater effluent and significant improvement in ecological safety is of great practical significance in the process of deep treatment of effluent. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of low removal rate of trace pollutants in the effluent of sewage treatment plants and low biodegradability of the effluent in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for removing trace pollutants from wastewater treatment plant effluent using biomass ash, the method being carried out in a system including an equalization tank, an ozone catalytic reaction tank, and a biological buffer tank, comprising:

[0008] (1) The tailwater is introduced into the equalization tank for homogenization to obtain greywater I;

[0009] (2) The greywater I is introduced into the ozone catalytic reaction tank to carry out ozone catalytic reaction, and greywater II is obtained;

[0010] (3) The greywater II is introduced into the biochemical buffer tank and contacted with the biofilm-coated microbial carrier for biochemical treatment to obtain effluent;

[0011] The tetracycline content in the tailwater is 0.01-50 mg / L;

[0012] The catalyst used in the ozone catalytic reaction has a specific surface area of ​​45-65 m². 2 Modified ash residue with a content of not less than 80 wt% of m(SiO2+CaO+Al2O3+Fe2O3); the amount of catalyst used is 50-300 g relative to each 1 L of the tailwater.

[0013] The microbial carrier is ash slag I with an average volume diameter of 0.6-8.0 mm;

[0014] The modified ash is the product obtained by modifying ash II with citric acid and chitosan.

[0015] The second aspect of the present invention provides a system for removing trace pollutants from wastewater treatment plant effluent using biomass ash residue. The system is applied to the method described in the first aspect and is provided with an equalization tank, an ozone catalytic reaction tank and a biochemical buffer tank arranged sequentially along the liquid phase flow direction.

[0016] The equalization tank is used to introduce the effluent into the equalization tank for homogenization to obtain greywater I;

[0017] The ozone catalytic reaction tank is connected to the conditioning tank so that the greywater I undergoes an ozone catalytic reaction with the catalyst filled in the ozone catalytic reaction tank to obtain greywater II;

[0018] The biochemical buffer tank is connected to the ozone catalytic reaction tank so that the reclaimed water II comes into contact with the biofilm-coated microbial carrier filled in the biochemical buffer tank for biochemical treatment to obtain effluent.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The method provided by the present invention can improve the adsorption behavior of biomass ash on different trace pollutants in the tailwater by enhancing adsorption, interception and other processes, including heavy metals, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, etc.

[0021] (2) The method provided by the present invention can utilize the interception and enrichment behavior of modified biomass ash residue on pollutants while combining ozone to construct a heterogeneous catalytic oxidation system, thereby achieving efficient removal of trace organic pollutants in the tailwater. The process does not require the addition of chemical reagents, is environmentally friendly and does not cause secondary pollution; at the same time, it forms oxygen-rich tailwater, which improves the biodegradability of the tailwater.

[0022] (3) The method provided by the present invention can increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in the effluent, thereby enhancing the ecological value of the effluent as “ecological replenishment”.

[0023] (4) In this invention, modified ash with small particle size is used as a heterogeneous catalyst and ash with large particle size is used as a microbial carrier, which expands the application of large-volume ash in the field of wastewater and can achieve the purpose of waste reuse.

[0083] Biomass ash residue: solid waste derived from biomass power generation at a biomass power plant in Anhui Province. Its parameters and composition are shown in Table 1.

[0086] Unless otherwise specified, the following examples use Figure 1 The process shown is carried out, and the flow rate of the effluent is 0.2 L / min.

[0087] Preparation Example A-1

[0088] Preparation of Ash Slag I:

[0089] The biomass ash residue was screened, then rinsed with deionized water for 120 seconds, and dried to a moisture content of 4wt% to obtain ash residue I with an average volume diameter of 3.0 mm.

[0090] Preparation Example A-2

[0091] Preparation of Ash Slag II:

[0092] The biomass ash residue was screened, then rinsed with deionized water for 120 seconds, and dried to a moisture content of 4 wt% to obtain ash residue II with an average volume diameter of 0.5 mm.

[0093] Preparation Example B-1

[0094] S1. At 25°C and 120 rpm, 100 g of the ash residue II was added to 1000 mL of citric acid solution I (concentration of 10 wt%) for a first reaction for 7 h, and then dried at 105°C to constant weight to obtain mixture I.

[0095] S2. At 25℃ and 120 rpm, chitosan was added to citric acid solution II (concentration of 4 wt%) and mixed for 10 min to obtain a chitosan-citric acid solution with a chitosan concentration of 8.0 g / L.

[0096] S3. At 35℃ and 120 rpm, 100 g of the mixture I was added to 2000 mL of the chitosan-citric acid solution for a second reaction for 9 h. The pH was then adjusted to 9 using a 1 mM NaOH solution. After standing for 8 h, the mixture was pyrolyzed at 500℃ for 1 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. It was then washed with deionized water for 120 s and dried at 105℃ to constant weight to obtain a specific surface area of ​​59.59 m². 2 The concentration of SiO2 + CaO + Al2O3 + Fe2O3 is 86.56 wt%, and the pore volume is 0.022 cm³. 3 / g, modified ash residue with an average pore size of 3.088nm, is named catalyst I;

[0097] Figure 2 The SEM image (scanning electron microscope image) of ash II is shown. Figure 3 The EDX (energy dispersive X-ray) spectrum of ash II is shown. Figure 4 The FTIR (infrared spectrum) of ash II and catalyst I is shown. Figure 5 The SEM image of catalyst I is shown. Figure 6 The EDX image of catalyst I is shown. It can be seen that the surface structure of catalyst I after citric acid washing modification becomes rougher and the pore structure is richer. The surface carbon content is increased, and the introduced carbon functional groups can be more stably loaded on the ash surface, which is beneficial for the interception and adsorption of trace organic pollutants in water.

[0098] Preparation Example B-2

[0099] This preparation example is carried out using a method similar to that of preparation example B-1. The difference is that in step S1, an equal volume of deionized water is used instead of citric acid solution I for the first reaction.

[0100] The final specific surface area was 28.21 m². 2 The concentration of SiO2 + CaO + Al2O3 + Fe2O3 is 88.29 wt%, and the pore volume is 0.015 cm³. 3 The modified ash residue with an average pore size of 2.841 nm per g was named Catalyst II.

[0101] Preparation Example B-3

[0102] This preparation example is carried out using a method similar to that of preparation example B-1. The difference is that step S2 is not performed, and in step S3, an equal volume of citric acid solution II is directly used instead of citric acid-chitosan solution to carry out the second reaction with mixture I.

[0103] The final specific surface area was 52.81 m². 2The concentration of SiO2 + CaO + Al2O3 + Fe2O3 is 80.17 wt%, and the pore volume is 0.041 cm³. 3 The modified ash residue with an average pore size of 4.120 nm per g was named Catalyst III.

[0104] Example 1

[0105] This embodiment illustrates that the method for removing trace pollutants from wastewater treatment plant effluent using biomass ash provided by the present invention is carried out according to the following steps:

[0106] (1) The tailwater (tailwater I) is introduced into the equalization tank and homogenized for 1 hour to obtain greywater I;

[0107] (2) The reclaimed water I is pressurized by a peristaltic pump and introduced into the ozone catalytic reaction tank to undergo an ozone catalytic reaction with the catalyst for 120 min. At the same time, ozone is continuously introduced into the ozone catalytic reaction tank from the bottom to the top using an aeration disc, and the ozone inlet flow rate is 0.5 L / min. The resulting reclaimed water II (named Q1) is drawn out from the top of the ozone catalytic reaction tank. The amount of catalyst used is 100 g per 1 L of the tailwater.

[0108] (3) After the ash residue I is used as a microbial carrier to form a biofilm, it is contacted with the reclaimed water II in a biochemical buffer tank for biochemical treatment for 1 hour; the effluent is obtained and named P1.

[0109] The system was run for a week, during which microbial diversity analysis was performed on the microbial carriers within it.

[0110] Figure 10 The dilution curve of the microbial vector after one week of operation in this embodiment is shown. As can be seen from the figure, the curve becomes flat as the number of sequences increases, indicating that the sequencing method is feasible. Based on a similarity of 97%, it can be found that the number of OUT can reach about 1500, indicating a high species richness, which allows for subsequent sequencing.

[0111] Figure 11 This diagram shows the microbial community classification of the biofilm carrier at the gate level after one week of operation in this embodiment. Figure 11 The figure shows the weight percentage of each bacterial group. It can be seen from the figure that at the phylum level, Proteobacteria and Nitrifying Spirochetes account for 39.2% and 33.9% of the weight, respectively. They can play a role in nitrification and denitrification, and actively promote the further purification of water bodies and nitrogen cycling by degrading organic pollutants and nitrogen compounds in the effluent.
