[0062]
[0063] Biofilm initiation phase: In the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system, 30 mL of anaerobic sludge taken from the Qixing District Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant in Guilin City was used as the inoculum source, representing 23% of the effective volume of the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system. After the system was filled with simulated wastewater, the influent was stopped, and the system was run for 24 hours at a gas pressure of 0.02 MPa and a recirculation rate of 100 mL / min to ensure uniform mixing of the inoculated microorganisms. After the 24-hour water outage and recirculation period, the influent was restarted at a flow rate of 0.72 mL / min. Intermittent water influent (24 hours influent, 24 hours outfluent) was used for 7 days, with gas supplied from both ends of the hollow fiber membrane module of the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system, and the H2 / CO2 gas pressure remained at 0.02 MPa.

[0067] Biofilm sampling: Biofilm samples were collected every 15 days. Membrane filaments and biofilms from each system were taken and cut into 3cm segments using sterile medical scissors. These segments were placed in centrifuge tubes containing ultrapure water and stored at 4°C for immediate experimentation. The growth of the biofilm was observed using a stereomicroscope. Biofilm thickness was recorded at each stage to calculate biofilm density. COD concentration was used as an indicator of biomass, reflecting the rate of biofilm formation. The protein and polysaccharide content in the biofilm EPS was measured to indicate the degree of tightness during biofilm formation, thus reflecting the rate of biofilm formation.

The system was then filled with influent, and the influent flow was stopped. The system was operated for 24 hours at a gas pressure of 0.02 MPa and a reflux rate of 100 mL / min to ensure uniform mixing of the inoculated microorganisms. After the 24-hour water shut-off and reflux period, the influent flow was restarted at a rate of 0.72 mL / min. Intermittent influent flow (24 hours influent, 24 hours shut-off) was used for 7 days. Gas was supplied from both ends of the hollow fiber membrane module of the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system, with the H2 / CO2 gas pressure remaining at 0.02 MPa.
[0071] During the continuous operation phase, water is introduced continuously with an influent flow rate of 0.86 mL / min, a reflux flow rate of 100 mL / min, and an H2 / CO2 gas pressure of 0.025 MPa to maintain the continuous operation of the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system.

Therefore, it can be seen that Ca in the biofilm water treatment process... 2+ It can significantly affect EPS secretion, and the addition of 80 mg / L Ca 2+ The effect of promoting EPS secretion is most obvious at this time, which greatly shortens the film formation time and is conducive to the stable and rapid formation of biofilm.
[0078] Figure 5 NO3 in the H2 / CO2 matrix biofilm system of Example 1 - The graph shows the change in -N removal rate. During the initial biofilm formation phase, after 7 days of intermittent operation of the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system, 80 mg / L Ca was added. 2+ Compared with the addition of 120 mg / L Ca 2+ At that time, NO3 - The removal efficiency of -N reached up to 100%; while the addition of 40 mg / L Ca2+ Compared with no Ca added 2+ At that time, the highest NO3 - -N removal efficiency is only 70% and 50%. During continuous operation, without the addition of Ca... 2+ At that time, NO3 - The removal efficiency of -N remained relatively stable at around 55%; the addition of Ca 2+ At that time, all systems could achieve approximately 60% NO3 concentration after 30 days. - -N removal efficiency, where 80 mg / L Ca is added 2+ At that time, NO3 - The removal efficiency of -N reaches 90% after 60 days and can then be increased to 100%; the addition of 120 mg / L Ca 2+ At that time, NO3 - The removal efficiency of -N can be stably maintained at around 85%; adding 40 mg / L Ca 2+ At that time, NO3 - The removal efficiency of -N can be stabilized at around 78.5%. The results indicate that adding 80 mg / L Ca during the intermittent operation phase... 2+ Compared with the addition of 120 mg / L Ca 2+ At that time, the amount of NO3 that can be treated per unit area of biofilm - The ability of -N is far greater than that of adding 40 mg / L Ca. 2+ Compared with no Ca added 2+ The removal efficiency at that time, and during continuous operation, with an addition of 80 mg / L Ca 2+ It reached a stable state first compared to the other three groups, had the highest denitrification efficiency, and the shortest biofilm system start-up time, reflecting the stable and rapid biofilm formation efficiency of the H2 / CO2 substrate biofilm system.
[0079] Figure 6 NO3 in the H2 / CO2 matrix biofilm system of Example 2 - -N concentration and removal rate changes. During the initial biofilm formation stage, the effluent NO3... - The minimum NO3- concentration is 1.2 mg / L, and the removal efficiency can reach up to 95%; during continuous operation, after 60 days, the effluent NO3- concentration is reduced. - The NO3- concentration remained stable below 5 mg / L, and the removal rate remained stable above 90%. The results indicate that, under the condition of using actual groundwater as influent, the biofilm system has a short start-up time and effectively removes NO3-. - -N removal efficiency compared to that in Example 1 with an addition of 80 mg / L Ca 2+ The timing is similar, which shows that the actual groundwater contains Ca. 2+ A concentration of 70–100 mg / L can ensure the stable and rapid formation of H2 / CO2 matrix biofilms and maintain good NO3 levels.- -N removal efficiency.
[0080] In summary, when 80 mg / L Ca is added to an H2 / CO2 matrix biofilm system... 2+ This method can maintain good biofilm density and thickness, increase biomass, promote the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), accelerate film formation, and achieve stable and rapid biofilm growth. It can also significantly shorten the start-up and biofilm formation time of the H2 / CO2 matrix biofilm system, thereby effectively improving the removal efficiency of H2 / CO2 matrix biofilm system for pollutants such as nitrates, and providing theoretical support for the engineering application of H2 / CO2 matrix biofilm system.
