Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of groundwater pollutant degradation, and in particular to an active reaction medium, a permeable reaction wall and a preparation method and use method thereof, and a method for early warning or online monitoring of pollutants. BACKGROUND

[0002] Groundwater resources are an important part of water resources in China and are widely used for agricultural irrigation.

[0003] At present, there are three types of main groundwater pollutants, namely heavy metals, organic matter (pesticides) and inorganic ions (nitrate, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, etc.). For single pollutants, soil and groundwater remediation technology is relatively mature. For example, residual pesticides are generally treated by ex-situ remediation technology, which can reduce the pollution area and the degree of pollution by pumping out the contaminated groundwater, and can achieve cleaning by transferring the pollutants in the aquifer through the water body. However, the ex-situ remediation technology has obvious shortcomings, such as high cost and unsuitability for long-term use. For heavy metal pollutants, physical, chemical and biological methods are mainly used to remove them. Among them, precipitation, ion exchange, adsorption and membrane separation are common methods for treating heavy metal wastewater. For inorganic ion pollutants (nitrate), the main methods include physical and chemical methods, chemical methods and biological methods. Physical and chemical methods mainly include electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, ion exchange method, etc. Ex-situ biological denitrification technology is based on the traditional nitrification-denitrification principle, which uses external carbon source as denitrification substrate to achieve groundwater denitrification.

[0004] However, multiple pollutants exist in the same environmental unit at the same time, or react with other pollutants during migration and transformation, resulting in environmental pollution phenomena that stress organisms, which is called complex pollution. Different pollutants complex, chelate, precipitate, oxidize and reduce, etc. to change their respective biological absorption, migration and transformation and produce complex biological effects. For example, mercury, tin and other heavy metals can react with organic pollutants to generate more toxic heavy metal organic compounds (methyl mercury, trimethyl tin, etc.).

[0005] Permeable reactive barrier (PRB) is a new method for in-situ removal of groundwater complex pollution in recent years. The PRB device is filled with active reaction medium. When the pollutants reach the corresponding area and contact the reaction medium, a series of physical, chemical or biological reactions will occur, and the pollutants will be degraded, adsorbed and finally removed. PRB has certain effect on various pollutants.

[0006] The PRB technology is closely related to the treatment principle of the pollutants in the groundwater and the filled reaction medium. When the reaction medium is zero-valent iron, the reduction of the valence of the heavy metals or the degradation of the organic matters are mainly utilized to reduce the migration or toxicity of the pollutants. When the reaction medium is apatite, zeolite, slag (volcanic rock slag) or mineral matter such as organic matter clay, the adsorption and precipitation are mainly utilized. When the reaction medium is carbon source, nutrient substance or microbial carrier, the microbial reaction activity is mainly utilized to degrade the organic pollutants. However, the existing reaction wall medium still has a low removal efficiency for various pollutants (organic matters, heavy metals, inorganic ions and various pollutants). SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims to provide an active reaction medium, a permeable reaction wall, a preparation method, a use method and a method for early warning or online monitoring of pollutants, and the active reaction medium has a high removal efficiency for pollutants.

[0022] The active reaction medium is the active reaction medium in the above technical solution or the active reaction medium prepared by the preparation method in the above technical solution.

[0023] Preferably, the degradation bacteria include oxidizing bacteria and / or reducing bacteria; the degradation bacteria adsorbed on the surface of the transition metal element layer in the active reaction medium are oxidizing bacteria, and the degradation bacteria adsorbed on the surface of the internal carbon particles of the porous biochar are reducing bacteria.

[0024] The application further provides a preparation method of the permeable reaction wall in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0025] (1) pouring concrete in the groundwater to be treated to obtain a wall body;

[0026] (2) placing the cathode and the anode in the corresponding positions, then adding the active reaction medium and the electrochemical conductive bacteria into the cavity of the wall body in sequence, and then applying an electric potential to form a conductive biofilm;

[0027] (3) adding the degradation bacteria into the cavity of the wall body, and then standing to make the degradation bacteria adsorbed on the conductive biofilm;

[0028] (4) connecting the positive pole and the negative pole of the power supply with the anode and the cathode respectively.

[0029] The step (4) has no sequence with the steps (1)-(3).

[0030] The application further provides a use method of the permeable reaction wall in the above technical solution or the permeable reaction wall prepared by the preparation method in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0031] (1) starting the treatment of the groundwater to be treated after the permeable reaction wall is prepared, and the transition metal layer in the active reaction medium generates a hydroxide precipitate through oxidation reaction;

[0032] (2) after the transition metal layer is partially or completely consumed, electrolyzing the permeable reaction wall to reduce the transition metal ions in the hydroxide precipitate into transition metal elements.

[0051] The volume ratio of the solution containing the transition metal salt to the porous biochar is 0.1-0.5:1; and the concentration of the transition metal salt in the solution containing the transition metal salt is 0.1-1.0 mol / L.

[0053] In the application, the volume ratio of the solution containing the transition metal salt to the porous biochar is 0.1-0.5:1, and preferably 0.2-0.4:1. The solution cannot be sprayed too much, otherwise the entire porous biochar will be soaked in the solution, so that the internal carbon particles cannot be separated from the outer carbon particles; and the solution cannot be sprayed too little, otherwise the amount of active metal will be too small, and the catalytic effect will be poor.

[0054] In the application, the preparation raw material of the porous biochar preferably comprises one or more of residual sludge, waste tires, straws, excrement and kitchen waste.

[0055] In the application, the transition metal salt preferably comprises a chloride salt of a transition metal.

The calcination temperature cannot be too low, as too low a temperature will result in the transition metal salt being unable to be reduced to the elemental state by the porous biochar, and too high a temperature will result in wasted energy; the calcination time also cannot be too short, as too short a time will result in the iron catalytic material not being fully formed, and too long a time will result in wasted energy.

[0058] In the present application, after the calcination, the obtained product is preferably further cooled to obtain the active reaction medium. In the present application, the cooling is preferably carried out under anaerobic conditions.

[0071] The permeable reaction wall comprises an anode, wherein the anode is located on the outer side of the wall body, and the area of the anode is preferably 50-100% of the area of the cathode.

[0072] The permeable reaction wall comprises a cathode, wherein the cathode is inserted into the active reaction medium, and the material of the cathode preferably comprises one or more of carbon-based materials, metal materials and conductive polymers, and is further preferably a metal material, and the metal material preferably comprises stainless steel and / or titanium.

[0073] In the permeable reaction wall, the area ratio of the cathode to the single wall surface is preferably 0.1-0.5:1, and more preferably 0.2-0.4:1.

[0074] The application further provides a preparation method of the permeable reaction wall.

[0075] (1) pouring concrete in the groundwater to be treated to obtain a wall body;

[0076] (2) placing a cathode and an anode in corresponding positions, then adding an active reaction medium and electrochemical conductive bacteria into a cavity of the wall body in sequence, and then applying an electric potential to form a conductive biofilm;

[0077] (3) adding degrading bacteria into the cavity of the wall body and then standing to make the degrading bacteria adsorbed on the conductive biofilm;

[0078] (4) connecting a positive pole and a negative pole of a power supply to the anode and the cathode respectively;

[0079] The step (4) and the steps (1)-(3) have no sequence.

[0080] (1) pouring concrete in the groundwater to be treated to obtain a wall body.

[0081] The application places a cathode and an anode in corresponding positions, then adds an active reaction medium and electrochemical conductive bacteria into a cavity of the wall body in sequence, and then applies an electric potential to form a conductive biofilm.

[0082] In the application, the electrochemical conductive bacteria preferably include Geobacter and / or Shewanella; and the open circuit potential of the electrochemical conductive bacteria is preferably-0.4 V. In the application, the thickness of the conductive biofilm is preferably 1-20 μm.

[0083] When the open circuit potential of the electrochemical conductive bacteria is-0.4 V, the electric potential applied is preferably-0.3-0.2 V vs Ag / AgCl, the time is preferably 6-48 h, more preferably 12-36 h, and further preferably 18-24 h. The electric potential applied is preferably applied at the cathode; the open circuit potential of-0.4 V and the slightly positive electric potential applied are beneficial to the rapid formation of the electrochemical conductive bacteria. A conductive biofilm is formed on the surface of the transition metal element layer and the surface of the carbon particles inside the porous biochar.

[0084] After the conductive biofilm is formed, the application adds degrading bacteria into the cavity of the wall body and then stands to make the degrading bacteria adsorbed on the conductive biofilm.

[0085] In the present application, the degrading bacteria preferably include oxidizing bacteria and / or reducing bacteria; the surface-adsorbed degrading bacteria of the conductive biofilm covering the surface of the transition metal element layer are oxidizing bacteria, and the surface-adsorbed degrading bacteria of the conductive biofilm covering the surface of the carbon particles inside the porous biochar are reducing bacteria. In the present application, the degrading bacteria are preferably obtained by domestication and screening from the activated sludge in a local sewage plant. The method for domestication in the present application is not particularly limited, and the degrading bacteria in the sludge can be sufficiently propagated.

[0086] In the present application, the standing time is preferably 6-48 h, more preferably 12-36 h, and further preferably 18-24 h. During the standing process, the degrading bacteria complete adsorption and accumulation on the surface layer of the conductive biofilm. Since the primary cell base is porous biochar, it has extremely high adsorption capacity and can quickly adsorb these degrading bacteria to the surface. Then, the degrading bacteria are adhered by extracellular polymers on the surface of the conductive biofilm and can quickly form a biofilm. The potentials of the external and internal carbon particles are different, and different degrading bacteria will spontaneously select different potentials for adsorption.

[0088] In the present application, the potential applied in the step is preferably -1.0 to -0.5 V vs Ag / AgCl, and the time is preferably 1-2 h. The step of applying a potential is to make the metal layer that has been consumed restore to a reduced state again. Too long time of the step will result in waste of energy consumption and affect the activity of oxidizing microorganisms, and too short time of the step will result in insufficient metal reduction effect.

[0089] The present application also provides a use method of the permeable reaction wall prepared by the preparation method of the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0090] (1) The permeable reaction wall starts to treat the groundwater to be treated after being prepared, and the transition metal layer undergoes an oxidation reaction to generate a hydroxide precipitate;

[0091] (2) After the transition metal layer is partially or completely consumed, the permeable reaction wall is electrolyzed to reduce the transition metal ions in the hydroxide precipitate to transition metal elements;

[0092] Steps (1)-(2) are repeated.

[0093] In the application, the interval time of the electrolysis is preferably 6-48h, more preferably 12-36h, and further preferably 18-24h; the potential during the electrolysis is preferably -1.0--0.5V vs Ag / AgCl, and the time is preferably 1-2h. Traditional bioelectrochemistry is to form a biological membrane on the electrode surface to react, but the reaction only occurs on the electrode surface, so the reaction efficiency is low, and the reaction medium is deactivated and is disposable. The Fe-C ball can greatly increase the reaction area, and can be recovered by electrochemistry, thereby improving the efficiency and being reusable.

[0094] The application can permeate the reaction wall, and the principle of degrading pollutants is as follows:

[0095] The Fe-C primary battery generates a micro-electrolysis process, the outer layer iron loses electrons and transfers to the inner carbon particles: after the outer layer iron loses electrons, the electrons are obtained from the loaded microorganisms, and then the microorganisms obtain electrons from the external pollutants, thereby promoting the oxidation reaction (such as converting organic matter into carbon dioxide) of the outer layer; the inner carbon particles obtain electrons, and then transfer the electrons to the loaded microorganisms, and then the microorganisms use the electrons for the reduction reaction (such as denitrification and denitrification) of the pollutants; in addition, some organic pollutants need to be oxidized and reduced cooperatively, such as nitrobenzene, which needs to be reduced and denitrified, and then oxidized and mineralized. After the outer layer iron loses electrons, ferrous and ferric iron are gradually generated to form iron hydroxide precipitate, but most of the iron hydroxide precipitate is adsorbed by the inner carbon particles (a small amount of iron hydroxide precipitate is lost), and after the outer layer iron is completely consumed, the electron transfer does not occur, at this time, electrolysis is performed to reduce the ferrous and ferric iron to the elemental iron.

[0096] The application also provides a method for early warning or online monitoring of pollutants by the permeable reaction wall or the permeable reaction wall prepared by the preparation method.

[0097] The cathode is used as a working electrode to perform cyclic voltammetry curve scanning at intervals, and a cyclic voltammetry characteristic curve is obtained;

[0098] The change in the height of the pollutant characteristic peak on the cyclic voltammetry characteristic curve before and after the cyclic voltammetry characteristic curve is used to identify whether the pollutant is consumed and degraded;

[0099] If the redox peak of the transition metal element is lower than the initial redox peak, the permeable reaction wall is invalid.

[0100] In the application, the interval time is preferably 1-5 days; the window range of the cyclic voltammetry characteristic curve scanning is preferably -1.0-1.0V, and the speed is preferably 1-50mV / s.

[0101] The structure of the permeable reaction wall of the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure as follows: 1-permeable reaction wall outer wall, 2-anode electrode, 3-active reaction medium, 4-cathode, 5-control system, 301-reducing microorganism, 302-carbon particle, 303-metal layer modified carbon particle, 304-oxidizing microorganism. Figure 1
