Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-concentration organic wastewater treatment, and in particular to an overflow-type two-phase anaerobic fermentation device and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of industry, industrial organic wastewater pollution is becoming more and more serious. The complete anaerobic fermentation process of high-concentration organic wastewater can be divided into three stages: hydrolysis, acidification and methanogenesis. The imbalance between hydrolysis, acidification and methanogenesis will lead to serious acid accumulation and failure of anaerobic fermentation. Therefore, the two-phase fermentation method of carrying out the two processes of hydrolysis, acidification and methanogenesis in two independent devices is widely used in the treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater. It not only provides the best growth and reproduction conditions for hydrolysis and acidification bacteria and methanogens, so that they can obtain the highest reaction rate in their respective devices, but also alleviates the impact of high organic load on the methanogenesis process, effectively improving the treatment effect of organic wastewater.

[0003] At present, the two-phase anaerobic fermentation process is to simply connect the hydrolysis acidification and methanogens in series for material transfer. The independent two-phase device hinders the exchange of electrons and protons between the hydrolysis acidification bacteria and the methanogens, weakens the mutual relationship between the hydrolysis acidification bacteria and the methanogens, and makes the two-phase fermentation cycle long and the wastewater treatment is not thorough enough. At present, the resource utilization efficiency of the two-phase anaerobic fermentation is mainly improved by pumping the gas (carbon dioxide and hydrogen) produced by the hydrolysis acidification tank into the methane production tank for reuse, but there is still a problem of low mass transfer efficiency between the two phases.

[0004] Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the treatment efficiency of high-concentration organic wastewater, improving the mass transfer and efficiency of two-phase anaerobic fermentation is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an overflow two-phase anaerobic fermentation device and an application method.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is:

There is a gap of 1 to 5 mm between the three-phase separator and the inner wall of the hydrolysis acidification tank and the methane production tank.

[0022] Furthermore, the anaerobic sludge is flocculent, the volatile suspended matter (VSS) content of the anaerobic sludge is 3-5%, and the anaerobic sludge is washed 3-5 times with physiological saline having a mass concentration of 0.9% before inoculation.

[0023] Description: Anaerobic sludge is cleaned with saline to remove impurities in the anaerobic sludge, including suspended matter and dissolved organic matter.

The energy loss of pumping water between the two tanks is eliminated, and the mass transfer and efficiency transfer between the hydrolysis and acidification tank and the methane production tank are strengthened. Not only can the dynamic balance of the hydrolysis and acidification and methanogenesis processes be achieved, but also the wastewater treatment capacity and resource utilization effect are greatly improved. By detecting the voltage across an external resistor, the electron transfer activity between the fermentation bacteria can be intuitively observed, which plays an important role in screening electron-interactive bacteria.

[0080] Experimental example

[0081] The overflow two-phase anaerobic fermentation device of the present invention is simulated and tested below. The method parameters in Example 3 are taken as an example (referred to as MCTF group), wherein the length, width and height of the hydrolysis acidification tank 2 and the methane production tank 3 are 6*6*10 cm, the upper part of the overflow tank 4 is 8 cm high, the lower part is 1 cm, and the width is 1 cm. The size of the electrode 7 is 3.5 cm×3.5 cm, the electrode rod height of the hydrolysis acidification tank 2 is 6 cm, and the electrode rod height of the methane production tank 3 is 5 cm. The pore size of the first porous partition 22 and the second porous partition 32 is 0.1-0.2 mm. In step S3, 1000 mg COD / L simulated acidified wastewater is injected into the water inlet of the device at a flow rate of 0.3-2 mL / min through a peristaltic pump, and the device is maintained at 37° C. through a water bath and operated for 30 days. During this process, the water inlet flow rate is gradually increased according to the effluent COD and gas production to ensure stable operation.

[0082] At the same time, a control experiment was carried out. In the hydrolysis acidification tank 2 and the methane production tank 3 of the overflow two-phase anaerobic fermentation device of the present invention, no electrode 7 was added as comparative example 1 (referred to as Control group), and in the hydrolysis acidification tank 2 and the methane production tank 3, only the electrode 7 was added without inoculating flocculent sludge as comparative example 2 (referred to as Control-2 group). Other operations were the same as those in Example 3.

[0083] Gas component test method: The gases to be measured in this system include methane, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The data in this method are detected using a gas chromatograph (Agilent 6890N, USA).

[0084] Wastewater degradation test method,This system needs to determine the COD degradation rate of wastewater after treatment in the hydrolysis acidification tank and the methane production tank. First, it is filtered through a 0.45nm polyethersulfone filter head and then the COD test is performed using a COD digestion reagent (Hash Technology, China) and a COD digestion detector.

[0085] Electron transfer activity test method: In this system, sludge from hydrolysis acidification tanks and methane production tanks at different fermentation periods was used to test the microbial electron transfer activity using the INT-ETS method.

[0086] The test results show that under low organic loading rate conditions (OLR < 0.5 kgCOD / (m 3 ·d)), the effluent COD and methane production of the Control group and the MCTF group were similar. With the increase of organic loading rate (OLR>0.5kgCOD / (m 3 ·d)), there were significant differences between the Control group and the MCTF group, e.g. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the organic loading rate is 3kgCOD / (m 3·d), the COD removal rate of the MCTF group stabilized at more than 95%, while the Control group finally stabilized at 52%; the Control-2 group had no effect on sewage degradation;

[0087] As shown in Table 1, compared with the low organic loading rate (OLR>0.5kgCOD / (m 3 Compared with the MCTF group, the MCTF group increased the wastewater treatment efficiency by more than two times. The MCTF group had a high organic load (OLR = 3 kgCOD / (m 3 d) Methane production reached 180 mL, an increase of 76% compared to 102 mL in the Control group;

[0088] Table 1 Comparison of COD removal rates of different reaction devices

[0089]

[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, the hydrogen production of the Control group increased with the increase of organic loading rate, and the maximum value reached 98mL, while the maximum value of hydrogen production of the MCTF group was only 8.1mL, indicating that the protons produced by the hydrolysis acidification pool 2 entered the methane production pool 3 through coupled electron transfer to participate in methane synthesis, thereby significantly increasing the methane production of the MCTF group;

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the current curve of the MCTF group showed an S-shape and stabilized at 108·10 -3 In summary, the device builds a stable electron transfer network and promotes proton-coupled electron transfer between the hydrolysis acidification tank and the methane production tank, thereby significantly improving the treatment efficiency and resource utilization effect of organic wastewater;

[0092] like Figure 6 As shown, the electron transfer activity of the Control group and the MCTF group was detected at different times. The electron transfer activity of the MCTF group was 7 times that of the Control group. The increase in the electron transfer activity of the MCTF group was positively correlated with the increase in current. Therefore, the electron transfer activity of the methane production pool can be reflected by the current curve.
