AI Technical Summary
When existing wastewater treatment plants reduce nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) content, biological methods are easily affected by fluctuations in influent water quality and quantity and insufficient carbon sources, resulting in substandard effluent. Furthermore, existing biogas utilization methods have failed to effectively mitigate carbon emissions, increase operating costs, and may introduce secondary pollution.
The biogas substrate biofilm method employs multiple pathways, including anaerobic methane oxidation coupled with denitrification, aerobic methane oxidation coupled with denitrification, and hydrogen autotrophic denitrification. The biogas mixed substrate is diffused through hollow fiber membrane modules, providing electron donors and carbon sources for functional microorganisms, regulating pH value, and achieving deep denitrification and carbon reduction.
It achieves low-cost, non-secondary pollution-free deep denitrification and carbon emission reduction of wastewater effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the wastewater treatment plant, reducing the total nitrogen content of the effluent to below 15 mg/L, with a CH4 utilization rate of no less than 50% and a CO2 utilization rate of over 90%, achieving emission standards.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, in particular to a method for deep denitrification and carbon reduction based on biogas substrate biofilm. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nitrate nitrogen (NO3 - -) is a typical oxidizing pollutant in water bodies, which seriously threatens the ecological safety of water bodies and human health. The advancement of urbanization leads to the emission of excess nitrogen, thereby affecting the influent water quality of many sewage treatment plants, resulting in non-compliance of total nitrogen (TN) in effluent or increased cost of denitrification. In addition, with the popularization and application of activated sludge method in municipal sewage treatment plants, a large amount of waste sludge is generated. In order to prevent the easily decomposed organic matter in the sludge from causing serious secondary pollution to the environment, most water plants are equipped with sludge anaerobic digestion devices. Biogas produced by anaerobic digestion contains 50% to 70% CH4, 30% to 55% CO2 and 5% other gases (H2, H2S, etc.).
[0003] At present, the mainstream method for reducing the content of NO3 - -N in wastewater is biological method, but the denitrification process of biological method is affected by the fluctuation of influent water quality and quantity and the lack of carbon source in the denitrification process, resulting in non-compliance of NO3 - -N in effluent. In order to ensure the quality of effluent from sewage treatment plants, additional carbon source needs to be added, which not only increases the operating cost, but also introduces secondary pollution. In addition, at present, most domestic and foreign sewage treatment plants do not have cogeneration technology, and the biogas is burned in the boiler, and a few sewage treatment plants use biogas for heating or power generation. However, these methods only change the form of carbon, and do not slow down the emission of carbon from the root. Therefore, it is of great significance to obtain a method for deep denitrification and carbon reduction based on biogas substrate microorganism, which can improve the water quality of effluent from sewage treatment plants and achieve the strategic goal of carbon emission reduction.

[0044] Example 1
[0045] 1. Treatment of actual wastewater
[0046] Periodic sampling and testing of the effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of a small wastewater treatment plant in Guilin City revealed that the total nitrogen (TN) in the effluent exceeded the Class A discharge standard of the "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002)" for some periods, with concentrations fluctuating between 9.5 mg / L and 17 mg / L, primarily consisting of NO3. - -N exists in the form of (7 mg / L to 14 mg / L). Therefore, the effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the water plant during the period when the total nitrogen concentration exceeded the standard was used as the actual influent of this system (denoted as the wastewater exceeding the standard) to explore the potential of deep denitrification and carbon reduction in the practical application of biogas matrix biofilm method.
[0047] 2. Start-up and biofilm formation in a biofilm reactor
[0048] Sludge from the anaerobic stage of the wastewater treatment plant and anaerobic stage of the brewery wastewater treatment plant were allowed to stand. Sludge from the solid-liquid interface was then mixed at a 1:1 volume ratio and used as the initial mixed anaerobic sludge inoculation (10% of the serum bottle volume). This mixture was added to a 500ml serum bottle, and simulated biogas (partial pressure 0.06 MPa) was introduced. The bottle was then placed in a shaker and cultured in a constant temperature shaker at 30±2℃ and 160r / min in the dark. The simulated biogas consisted of the following components by volume percentage: CH4 69.5%, CO2 28%, H2 2%, and H2S 0.5%. The culture medium in the serum bottle was a 20mg / L sodium nitrate aqueous solution after deoxygenation by N2 aeration.
[0049] NO3 in serum bottle - Once the -N concentration drops to 0 mg / L, the bacterial culture acclimatization is complete, and the supernatant obtained is the acclimatized bacterial culture.
[0050] Mix 20 mL of acclimatized bacterial solution with 10 mL of original mixed anaerobic sludge and inject the mixture into the biofilm reactor using a syringe (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, the effective volume of the biofilm reactor is 130 mL. The biofilm reactor contains a hollow fiber membrane module, which consists of 16 hydrophilic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) hollow fiber membrane filaments. Each filament has a surface with numerous micropores, each with a micropore diameter of 0.02 μm. The inner diameter of the hollow fiber membrane filaments is 0.8 mm, and the outer diameter is 1.5 mm. The effective length of the hollow fiber membrane is 200 mm, and the total surface area is 166.8 cm². 2 Simulated wastewater was added to the biofilm reactor, and simulated biogas was introduced into the hollow fiber membrane under a pressure of 0.06 MPa. Once the biofilm reactor was full of simulated wastewater, the inlet peristaltic pump was turned off, and the reflux peristaltic pump was turned on to circulate the biofilm at a reflux rate of 20 mL / min for three days. This process was used to acclimate the functional microbial community required for the biogas substrate biofilm and to initiate biofilm formation, resulting in a biofilm-attached reactor. The simulated wastewater consisted of 10 mg / L NO3. -- N (as nitrogen element concentration), 1 mg / L of CaCl2, 0.02 mg / L of CuCl2·2H2O, 0.05 mg / L of ZnSO4·7H2O, 0.03 mg / L of NiCl2·6H2O, 0.03 mg / L of Na2MoO4·2H2O, 0.05 mg / L of Na2WO4·2H2O, 0.2 mg / L of CoCl2·6H2O, 0.3 mg / L of H3BO3, 0.05 mg / L of FeSO4·7H2O, 0.05 mg / L of MnCl2, 0.03 mg / L of Na2SeO3.
[0051] 3. The biogas substrate biofilm system for treating actual NO3 - -N wastewater
[0052] In order to verify that the biogas substrate biofilm system in the application can achieve deep denitrification and carbon reduction in actual wastewater (excessive wastewater), a continuous experiment is designed. After 3 days of start-up and domestication, the biogas substrate biofilm method is stably operated, the simulated wastewater is replaced with excessive wastewater, the influent flow rate is 0.262 mL / min, the reflux speed is 20 mL / min, the simulated biogas pressure is 0.08 MPa, and the hydraulic retention time is 7.6 h.
[0053] Sampling and analysis:
[0054] Detection of NO3 - -N, NO2 - -N, TN concentration, and H2, CH4 and H2S concentration in water. The gas in the headspace gas collection bag is taken to detect the leakage of H2, CO2, CH4 and H2S in the headspace of the biofilm reactor. The gas in the effluent of the biofilm reactor is determined by the headspace method, and the gas in the liquid phase is converted to the gas phase by shaking water bath heating, and then the concentration is determined.
[0055] Effluent NO3 - -N, NO2 - -N and TN concentration curves with running time are shown in Figure 2 As can be seen from the figure, the water quality and quantity of the daily influent of the small urban sewage treatment plant in Guilin are quite different. During the 60-day continuous operation of the biofilm reactor, the effluent NO3 - -N concentration fluctuates in the range of 0-9.5 mg / L, the minimum is 0.918 mg / L, and the maximum does not exceed 10 mg / L; the effluent NO2 - -N concentration is stably at 0.1 mg / L, and the maximum concentration does not exceed 0.4 mg / L; the effluent TN concentration fluctuates in 4-13 mg / L, and the concentration can still meet the first level A discharge standard of “Urban Sewage Treatment Plant Pollutant Discharge Standard (GB 18918-2002)”.
[0056] Greenhouse gas (CH4, CO2) leakage in the biofilm reactor as shown in Figure 3 The utilization of greenhouse gases as shown in Figure 4 Figure 3 With Figure 4 It can be seen that the liquid-phase CH4 leakage concentration can be stabilized at about 8-10 mg / L, the headspace CH4 leakage concentration is in the range of 2-4 mg / L, and the headspace CO2 leakage is lower than 9 mg / L. The results show that the biogas substrate biofilm system has good carbon reduction performance in treating actual wastewater, and the CH4 utilization rate can be more than 55%, and the CO2 utilization rate is more than 90%.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] To further explore the denitrification and carbon reduction potential of the biogas substrate biofilm method (i.e. the method of Example 1), the NO3 - -N load in the wastewater exceeding the standard in Example 1 is replaced with simulated wastewater, and the concentration of NO3 - -N (calculated in terms of nitrogen element concentration) in the simulated wastewater is set to 20 mg / L for 150-225 days, and the concentration of NO3 - -N (calculated in terms of nitrogen element concentration) in the simulated wastewater is set to 30 mg / L.
[0059] The simulated wastewater in the sewage container is aerated with nitrogen gas for at least 5 min, and the sewage container is sealed to maintain an anaerobic state (DO < 0.2 mg / L) in the sewage container.
[0060] The simulated wastewater is introduced into the biofilm reactor which has been domesticated for long-term stable operation, the influent flow rate is 0.262 mL / min, the reflux speed is 26.2 mL / min, and the gas pressure is 0.10 MPa.
[0061] The NO3 - -N, NO2 - -N concentration and the NO3 - -N utilization rate as shown in Figure 5 It can be seen from the figure that in the early stage of operation, the high NO3 - -N concentration affects the effluent NO3 - -N concentration is maintained at 10-15 mg / L, and the NO3 - -N removal efficiency is only 20%-40%. After 75 days, the effluent NO3 - -N concentration begins to decrease, and is lower than 10 mg / L after 100 days, and the removal efficiency begins to reach 50%, and after 125 days, the effluent NO3 - -N concentration is basically maintained at about 2-3 mg / L, and there is no NO2 - -N accumulation. At 150d, due to the sudden increase of influent load, the removal rate of nitrate nitrogen decreased to about 50%, and fluctuated in the range of 40%~60%, the effluent NO3 - -N concentration was basically maintained at 15mg / L. During this period, NO2 - -N concentration exceeded 1mg / L.
[0062] The greenhouse gas (CH4, CO2) leakage of biofilm reactor is shown in Figure 6 The utilization rate of greenhouse gas (CH4, CO2) of biofilm reactor is shown in Figure 7 The microbial growth was affected by the high influent NO3 - -N load, and the removal efficiency of NO3 - -N decreased, and the leakage concentration of CH4 in liquid phase and the leakage concentration of CH4 in headspace both showed an upward trend. The leakage concentration of CH4 in liquid phase increased to 12~14mg / L, and the highest could reach 16mg / L. The leakage concentration of CH4 in headspace fluctuated between 4~6mg / L, and the utilization rate was about 20%. After 70d, the microorganisms adapted to the high influent NO3 - -N load, the leakage concentration of CH4 in liquid phase and the leakage concentration of CH4 in headspace both began to decrease slowly. The leakage concentration of CH4 in headspace began to stabilize between 1~2mg / L, and the leakage concentration of CH4 in liquid phase began to decrease gradually after 70d, and stabilized below 4mg / L after 100d, and the utilization rate was above 85%. In the biogas substrate biofilm system, CO2 in liquid phase exists as carbonate and bicarbonate ions, and is fixed as an acid-base balancing agent in the biogas substrate biofilm. The leakage of CO2 in headspace was basically stable at 4mg / L, and the utilization rate was stable at 98% throughout the entire continuous experiment. When running to 150d, although the load of simulated wastewater was increased, the utilization rate of greenhouse gas (CH4, CO2) in the reactor did not show a significant increase.
[0063] The results showed that the functional microorganisms contained in the biogas substrate biofilm could utilize CH4 and CO2 in biogas as carbon source or electron donor for denitrification. When the biogas substrate biofilm method removed 20mg / L of simulated wastewater, not only could it remove NO3 - -N without adding carbon source and phosphate buffer in the influent using biogas as substrate, but also the removal rate of NO3 - -N could reach more than 85%(removing 17mg / L of NO3 -CH4 utilization rate can be maintained at 80%~90%, CO2 utilization rate can reach 99%, and carbon utilization rate of biogas substrate biofilm system can reach more than 80%, which shows that the biogas substrate biofilm method has good denitrification and carbon reduction functions. When the concentration of simulated wastewater is increased to 30 mg / L, CH4 utilization rate is still maintained at about 85%, and CO2 utilization rate is more than 95%. However, the method is affected by the influent load, and the highest denitrification efficiency can only reach 60% (18 mg / L of NO3 - Therefore, it can be predicted that the biogas substrate biofilm method has strong carbon reduction stability and high denitrification potential, and has the ability to achieve deep denitrification and carbon reduction of the effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the wastewater treatment plant.
[0064] Example 3
[0065] In order to further verify the potential of the biogas substrate biofilm method (i.e. the method of Example 1) in practical application, the actual biogas produced by anaerobic digestion of wastewater in a wastewater treatment plant was used to treat actual wastewater (excessive wastewater). The biogas produced by anaerobic digestion in the wastewater treatment plant was pumped into a sealed gas collection bag using a vacuum pump, and then poured into a 4L gas cylinder for experimental use. In order to avoid accidental experiments, gases of different time periods were extracted, and the specific components are shown in Table 1. Then, 40L of excessive wastewater of the water plant on a certain day was selected, which was deoxygenated by nitrogen gas (5min) and then introduced into the biogas substrate biofilm (i.e. the hanging biofilm reactor obtained in step 2 of Example 1) which was domesticated by simulated biogas and simulated wastewater. The biogas pressure was set to 0.10 MPa, the influent flow rate was 0.262 mL / min, and the reflux speed was 26.2 mL / min. The TN and NO3 - The concentrations of TN and NO3

[0070] According to the data in Table 1 and Table 2, the real-time changes of each component in the process of biogas production by sludge anaerobic digestion can be known. In the first 7 days of operation of the biogas substrate biofilm method, the TN in the effluent fluctuated in the range of 10.8 mg / L to 12.9 mg / L by inputting the biogas collected in the early stage of anaerobic digestion. The proportion of CH4 in the early stage of anaerobic digestion was low, and the proportion of CO2 was more than 35%. The electron donor provided by the biogas collected in this stage was also limited. And the higher CO2 supply would lead to the decrease of water pH, thereby resulting in the lower denitrification efficiency of the biogas substrate biofilm. In the middle and late stages of anaerobic digestion, the proportion of CH4 increased significantly, and the proportion of CO2 decreased by 5% to 10%. At this time, the electron donor and pH value in the biofilm increased. The TN in the effluent of the biogas substrate biofilm method fluctuated in the range of 9.2 mg / L to 9.8 mg / L, the denitrification efficiency increased significantly, and the effluent water quality was more stable.
[0071] No matter which stage of anaerobic digestion is used to produce biogas to treat the actual wastewater (excessive wastewater), the TN in the effluent can meet the first level A emission standard of the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). Therefore, the potential of the biogas substrate biofilm method in practical engineering application is further verified.
[0072] In summary, the system and method of the application can effectively enrich and remove the functional bacteria of greenhouse gases and denitrification in the biogas substrate, and can realize the deep denitrification and carbon reduction of the effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the wastewater treatment plant in a green, safe, economical and efficient manner. It has strong anti-pollution load capacity, and proves that the method of deep denitrification and carbon reduction based on the biogas substrate biofilm can achieve the goal of deep denitrification and carbon reduction of the wastewater treatment plant.
[0073] Although the above embodiment has made a detailed description of the application, it is only a part of the embodiment of the application, not all the embodiments, and other embodiments can be obtained according to the embodiment without creativity, which all belong to the protection scope of the application.
