Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of acid mine drainage treatment, and in particular to an acid mine drainage advanced treatment method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most serious environmental problems faced by the mining industry, and untreated AMD will cause serious pollution and damage to the surrounding water, soil and biodiversity, so it is particularly important to develop an efficient AMD treatment technology.
[0003] In the prior art, a method for treating AMD can be an SRB method for treating AMD by using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The SRB can use various electron donors, such as lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, ethanol, H2, CH4, aliphatic hydrocarbons, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, solid carbon sources, etc., to reduce SO4 2- under anaerobic (or anoxic) conditions to produce sulfides to precipitate heavy metals, and to produce alkaline substances to increase the pH and reduce the SO4 2- concentration. However, in practice, the AMD usually lacks the electron donors required by the SRB, and if this method is used, a large amount of electron donors needs to be specially provided for the reaction, which not only has a large demand for the electron donors, but also has a high cost of the electron donors, and it is difficult to implement. In addition, when the content of heavy metals in the AMD is too high, the SRB activity will be inhibited, which may cause slow reaction speed, low treatment efficiency, and even reaction interruption and treatment system collapse in severe cases.
[0004] In the prior art, another method for treating AMD can be a biological reaction and chemical precipitation separation type multi-stage pH control process for treating AMD. SO4 2- is reduced to H2S in a sulfate-reducing anaerobic reactor (in a biological sulfide production system), and then H2S in the reactor is stripped by using a carrier gas (such as N2) to an AMD precipitation tank, and the multi-stage pH is controlled by adding alkali in the AMD precipitation tank (in a metal precipitation system), so as to realize the staged precipitation and selective recovery of various heavy metals. However, first, the separation type multi-stage pH control process is carried out in two independent units, namely the biological sulfide production system and the metal precipitation system, and the process is complicated; second, the separation type multi-stage pH control process needs to obtain and recycle the carrier gas (such as N2), which requires high energy input, has a high cost, and has a large demand, which is not suitable for long-term and large-scale special provision, and additional provision of electron donors required for sulfate reduction and step-by-step addition of alkali is also required, further increasing the cost.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a method for deep treatment of acid mine drainage, which comprises the following steps:
[0036] Step S1, hydrogen sulfide generation and preliminary removal of heavy metals in acid mine drainage (hereinafter referred to as AMD), the AMD is introduced into the pyrite gas tank with pyrite and nitrogen, to generate sulfide precipitate and hydrogen sulfide gas, and then the water is discharged to the next step.
[0037] In the formula, the pyrite is dissolved in the acid mine drainage to generate ferrous ions and sulfur ions, part of the sulfur ions generate sulfide precipitate with part of the heavy metal ions in the acid mine drainage, and the sulfide precipitate is discharged and collected and treated, and can be discharged from the slag discharge port of the pyrite gas tank, and the other part of the sulfur ions generate hydrogen sulfide, which is released and saved after nitrogen stripping, and can be recovered and saved to the hydrogen sulfide storage tank, and then is used in the multiple units of the sulfate reducing bacteria reaction zone of the multiple unit anaerobic reactor in step S2 to assist the sulfate reducing bacteria (hereinafter referred to as SRB) reaction to remove heavy metals.
[0038] The pyrite filled in the pyrite gas production tank in step S1 can be obtained from abandoned pyrite tailings in surrounding mining areas, or from the pyrrhotite precipitate generated in the third unit of the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone in the multi-unit anaerobic reactor in step S2. The source is wide and easy to obtain, and as a waste, it can be used to precipitate heavy metal ions or as a raw material to produce hydrogen sulfide after AMD treatment. Not only is there no secondary pollution, but also useful metals can be recovered, realizing waste treatment with waste and reducing costs. Preferably, the particle size of the pyrite is controlled to be 50-200 mesh. More preferably, when the ferrous ion generation rate is reduced for the second time, pyrite is added, which can be fed into the pyrite gas production tank from the solid inlet.
[0039] The nitrogen gas required in the pyrite gas production tank in step S1 can be obtained from the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor in step S3 and recycled, realizing waste treatment with waste, resource recycling, reducing source costs, and solving the problem of high nitrogen gas cost.
[0040] In step S1, not only can a part of the heavy metals in the acid mine drainage be precipitated and removed in this step S1, but also by transporting hydrogen sulfide to the first unit, the second unit and the third unit of the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor, a part of the heavy metal load can be shared and the SRB can be assisted to biologically remove the remaining part of the heavy metals in the acid mine drainage, thereby avoiding the serious damage to the operation of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor caused by the multiple types and high concentrations of heavy metals contained in the acid mine drainage.
[0041] Step S2, further removing heavy metals and synchronously removing sulfates from the effluent, the effluent treated in step S1 can flow through multiple units of a sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone inoculated with SRB under different pH environments in sequence, specifically, the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone can include a first unit, a second unit and a third unit, and sludge fermentation liquor and alkali liquor are introduced into each unit (the first unit, the second unit and the third unit) to use the organic matter in the sludge fermentation liquor as the electron donor of SRB, and hydrogen sulfide generated in step S1 and escaped by nitrogen stripping is added to each unit to assist the SRB reaction, so as to stabilize the reduction of sulfates in the effluent, produce sulfides, and further precipitate heavy metal ions in the first unit, the second unit and the third unit of the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone under different pH values, thereby reducing the difficulty of heavy metal separation and improving the recovery rate.
[0042] Specifically, the pH value of the first unit can be controlled to be equal to 3, the pH value of the second unit can be controlled to be between 5-5.5, the pH value of the third unit can be controlled to be between 7-7.8, and the temperature of the first unit, the second unit and the third unit can be controlled to be 37℃, the ORP can be controlled to be lower than-150mV, and the COD / SO4 2-is 0.6-0.9, and HRT is 1-3d, wherein the generated pyrite-magnetic precipitate in the third unit can be introduced into the pyrite gas production tank in the step S1, and then the effluent is discharged to the next step.
[0043] In the step S2, the biological sulfur production system and the heavy metal precipitation system are reasonably and efficiently simplified and integrated into one unit in the multi-unit anaerobic reactor, forming a reaction line, which not only solves the problem of complicated process, but also effectively proliferates the biological body, greatly reduces the investment and operating costs; at the same time, the organic matter in the introduced sludge fermentation liquid is used as the electron donor in the step S2, the source of the electron donor is wide and the cost is low, and the sludge fermentation liquid and the acid mine wastewater can be treated simultaneously.
[0044] In the step S3, the remaining pollutants in the effluent are removed, the effluent is introduced into the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor inoculated with anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria, and the generated nitrogen is recovered and introduced into the pyrite gas production tank in the step S1.
[0045] Preferably, in the step S3, the internal environmental conditions of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor are controlled, the temperature is controlled at 30-37℃, and the HRT is controlled at 4-8h.
[0046] In the step S3, the anaerobic ammonia oxidation (Anammox) process used in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor is an economical and efficient, environmentally friendly biological technology, the substrate type of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria used in the process is diverse, the metabolic form is flexible, the environmental adaptability is strong, and the process can simultaneously remove nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and other pollutants, and has a significant deep purification treatment capacity.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the acid mine drainage deep treatment method provided by the embodiment of the application has the following advantages: the acid mine drainage at least sequentially undergoes the hydrogen sulfide generation and the preliminary removal of heavy metals in the acid mine drainage in step S1, the further removal of heavy metals and the simultaneous removal of sulfates in the effluent in step S2, and the deep removal of residual pollutants in the effluent in step S3, thereby improving the purification degree of the acid mine drainage and strengthening the treatment of the acid mine drainage; the pyrite used in the pyrite gas production tank in step S1 can be obtained in the heavy metal precipitation in one of the units of the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor in step S2 and reused, which is low in cost, free of secondary pollution, and capable of recycling useful metals and realizing resource recycling; the nitrogen used in the pyrite gas production tank in step S1 can be obtained in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor in step S3 and recycled and reused, which reduces the source cost and realizes resource recycling; the hydrogen sulfide generated in step S1 and stripped by the nitrogen can be added to the multiple units of the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone in step S2 to assist the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction, so that the multi-unit anaerobic reactor in step S2 can reasonably and efficiently simplify and integrate the biological sulfur production system and the heavy metal precipitation system into one, forming a reaction line, which not only solves the problem of complicated process, but also effectively proliferates the organisms and greatly reduces the investment and operation cost; the organic matter in the introduced sludge fermentation liquid is used as an electron donor in step S2, the source of the electron donor is wide and the cost is low, and the sludge fermentation liquid and the acid mine drainage can be treated simultaneously; the anaerobic ammonia oxidation process used in the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor in step S3 is an economical and efficient biological technology friendly to the environment, the substrate type of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria used in the process is diverse, the metabolic form is flexible, the environmental adaptability is strong, and the process can simultaneously remove various pollutants such as nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur, and has a remarkable deep purification treatment capacity; the acid mine drainage deep treatment method provided by the application can realize self-production and self-use of nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, electron donors, pyrite, and other important resources required in the reaction, waste treatment with waste, and independent recycling and reuse, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the above resources, and solving the problem of high cost caused by the large use of nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, electron donors, pyrite, and the like.
[0048] A further embodiment, in the aforementioned step S2, the first unit, the second unit and the third unit of the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor can be provided as double compartments, each of which can include a front-end compartment and a rear-end compartment, each front-end compartment can be provided with a first water quality meter for parameter measurement, each front-end compartment introduces the aforementioned sludge fermentation liquid and alkali liquid, and the amount of hydrogen sulfide generated in the aforementioned step S1 and escaped by nitrogen stripping is controlled according to the parameter measurement results of the first water quality meter, when each parameter reaches the biological reaction requirement, the front-end compartment of each unit is introduced into the rear-end compartment for biological reaction, and stirring is carried out at the same time, the parameter measurement of the first water quality meter includes pH, ORP, COD, SO4 2- and heavy metals.
[0049] Because the presence of soluble heavy metal ions in the effluent solution can have a certain toxic effect on SRB, when the concentration is too high, the activity of SRB may even be completely inhibited. Therefore, the hydrogen sulfide generated by the aforementioned pyrite gas generation tank can be introduced into the front-end compartment of the first unit, the second unit and the third unit of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor, which can assist the front-end compartment to carry out stable heavy metal precipitation in a relatively harsh environment, and avoid serious damage to the operation of the biological reactor.
[0050] A preferred embodiment is that the volume number of SRB inoculated sludge in the front-end compartment of the first unit of the aforementioned multi-unit anaerobic reactor is 0-50% of the effective volume of its reaction cavity; the volume number of SRB inoculated sludge in the rear-end compartment of the first unit, the double compartments (including the front-end compartment and the rear-end compartment) of the second unit and the double compartments (including the front-end compartment and the rear-end compartment) of the third unit of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor is 25%-50% of the effective volume of its reaction cavity; and the volume number of anaerobic ammonia oxidation inoculated sludge in the aforementioned anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor is 75%-90% of the effective volume of its reaction cavity, so as to ensure that the biological reaction involved in the present application has a high reaction rate.
[0051] A further embodiment is that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, after step S2, a further step S21 may be included to remove the remaining ferrous ions and phosphorus introduced by the sludge fermentation broth. The effluent flows through multiple units in the sulfate-reducing bacteria reaction zone of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor and then into the phosphorus and iron removal unit. This phosphorus and iron removal unit is a double-compartment unit, including a front compartment and a rear compartment. The pH value of the front compartment of the phosphorus and iron removal unit is controlled between 6 and 8, causing ferrous ions and phosphate to form lapis lazuli precipitate, which is then discharged and collected. If ferrous ions remain after precipitation, an alkaline solution is added to the rear compartment of the phosphorus and iron removal unit to control the pH value between 8.5 and 10, generating ferrous hydroxide precipitate, which is then discharged and collected, thereby removing the phosphorus introduced by the sludge fermentation broth and the remaining ferrous ions. The effluent then proceeds to the next step.
[0052] In step S21, lapis lazuli has the characteristics of low solubility, rapid formation, and slow degradation (such as oxidation). Especially in the presence of large amounts of Fe(II) and P, low oxygen environment and low sulfide concentration, the simultaneous removal of iron and phosphorus is very effective.
[0053] A further embodiment is, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, step S22, water quality conditioning, may be included after step S21. The effluent from step S21 flows into the water quality conditioning chamber of the multi-unit anaerobic reactor. The water quality conditioning chamber is equipped with a second water quality analyzer. Alkaline solution and mainstream influent including phosphorus-removing domestic wastewater and aerobic tank effluent are introduced into the water quality conditioning chamber to condition the effluent from step S21. The parameters measured by the second water quality analyzer include pH, COD, ORP, and NH4. + NO2 - NO3 - and SO4 2- The water quality conditions are controlled as follows: pH value is controlled between 6.8 and 8.3, with 7.27 to 7.32 being optimal; ORP is controlled at -150mV > ORP > -300mV, and then the effluent is discharged to the next step.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the method for introducing the mainstream influent, which includes phosphorus-removing domestic sewage and aerobic tank effluent, in step S22 above can be as follows:
[0055] Method 1: If NH4 is released from the water + and SO4 2- If the molar ratio is greater than 2, the effluent from the aerobic tank is introduced to control excess NH4+. + With NO3 - The molar ratio is 1, while controlling COD and NO3. - The carbon-to-nitrogen ratio is between 0.43 and 0.75, and phosphorus-removing domestic wastewater can be introduced simultaneously if necessary;
[0056] Method two: if the molar ratio of NH4 + and SO4 2- in the effluent is equal to 2, the effluent from the aerobic tank is introduced, and the carbon-nitrogen ratio of COD and NO3 - is controlled between 1.07 and 1.67.
[0057] Method three: if the molar ratio of NH4 + and SO4 2- in the effluent is less than 2, phosphorus-removing domestic sewage is introduced to control the molar ratio of NH4 + and SO4 2- to be 2, and the effluent from the aerobic tank is introduced to control the carbon-nitrogen ratio of COD and NO3 - between 1.07 and 1.67.
[0058] The microbiological mechanism of the above-mentioned blending method of the main stream of the influent is as follows: when sulfate remains, anammox bacteria undergoes sulfate-type anammox reaction, which is a biological reaction in which anammox bacteria takes NH4 + as an electron donor and SO4 2- as an electron acceptor, and the reaction product is N2 and S, and the reaction equation is: 2NH4 + + SO4 2- → N2 + S. In method one, the molar ratio of NH4 + and SO4 2- is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, and anammox bacteria removes the excess NH4 + through short-range DNRA-Anammox reaction (i.e., dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium, abbreviated as: DNRA), and the reaction equation is: 4NH4 + + 4NO3 - + CH3COO - → CO2 + HCO3 - + 4N2 + 9H2O, therefore, the effluent from the aerobic tank in the main stream of the influent can be blended to provide NO3 - , and when the carbon-nitrogen ratio of COD and the original excess NH4 + is greater than 0.43-0.75, phosphorus-removing domestic sewage can also be blended to provide a certain amount of external NH4 + , so as to ensure that the carbon-nitrogen ratio of COD and NO3 - is appropriate; the source of the phosphorus-removing domestic sewage is the effluent from the biological phosphorus removal unit or the chemical phosphorus removal unit of the main stream process of municipal sewage; in method three, the molar ratio of NH4 + and SO4 2- is less than the stoichiometric ratio, therefore, the phosphorus-removing domestic sewage in the main stream of the influent can be blended to provide insufficient NH4+ In the method two and the method three, for the convenience of deployment, the anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria can remove the residual COD through the DNRA-Anammox reaction, and the reaction equation is: 8NO3 - + 5CH3COO - + 8H + → 5CO2+ 5HCO3 - + 4N2+ 9H2O, so the effluent of the aerobic tank in the main stream water can be deployed to provide NO3 - .
[0059] Further, the deployment of the aforementioned main stream water can be accurately controlled by the intelligent water system according to the following molar ratio: reaction one: NH4 + : SO4 2- = 2:1; reaction two: NH4 + : NO3 - : TOC = 2:2:1; reaction three: NO3 - : TOC = 4:5, through equation adaptation accounting, the best main stream water deployment scheme is obtained.
