Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a low-carbon three-dimensional aeration ecological box and its application, belonging to the field of water environment management technology. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of urbanization in my country, sewage discharge has increased year by year, severely damaging the ecological balance of surface water. Phytoremediation technology, as a green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable water treatment process, has been widely applied to improve water quality and restore the ecology of surface water bodies such as lakes and rivers. Ecological floating islands (floating beds) are a typical phytoremediation technology. This technology can remove pollutants such as organic matter, nutrients (e.g., N, P), and heavy metals from surface water through adsorption, plant absorption, and microbial degradation. However, traditional ecological floating island (floating bed) technology mainly relies on plant purification, resulting in low treatment efficiency. Therefore, innovative improvements to this technology are of great application significance.

[0003] Existing technologies include solutions for improving ecological floating islands (floating beds):

[0004] (1) A lake purification ecological floating island is disclosed in Chinese patent document CN219217783U. The ecological floating island is equipped with an electro-adsorption water purification device. The adsorption material coated on the electrode sheet is a modified grapefruit peel-based carbon aerogel, which has preferential selectivity for nitrates and phosphates. However, the electrode cost is high and the contact area between the electrode sheet and water is limited, thus limiting its applicability.

[0005] (2) A biofilm-bearing ecological floating island disclosed in Chinese patent document CN216273334U consists of a floating base plate, a plant system and a microbial biofilm unit. The microbial biofilm unit at the bottom of the floating base plate can enhance the water purification effect to a certain extent, but the amount of oxygen released by the plant roots is limited, which may result in the formation of mostly anaerobic microorganisms, which are prone to producing unpleasant odors and can only treat a limited number of pollutants.

[0006] (3) Chinese patent document CN110204049A discloses an aerated ecological floating island and an aerated ecological floating island unit. The device sets microporous aeration pipes at the bottom of the floating bed of each aerated ecological floating island unit and suspends nitric acid modified carbon fiber grass as a carrier for microbial biofilm. This can improve the treatment efficiency of pollutants. However, the small bubbles generated by the microporous aeration pipes are easy to clog the pipe holes, reduce the aeration effect and affect the service life. Moreover, the nitric acid modified carbon fiber grass used in this device has high preparation cost, poor toughness and is easy to break.

[0007] (4) A biological and ecological integrated aeration floating island device is disclosed in Chinese patent document CN110745952A. The device is set up with aerated plant area and biological filler area that are spaced apart. The aeration component can provide oxygen to microorganisms in a stepped manner. Although the device combines the three elements of plants, aeration and microorganisms, it is not fully organically integrated. The microbial membrane attached to the surface of the membrane aeration component is easy to fall off, the filler in the biological filler area is easy to be blocked, the area occupied is large, and no data support is given for improving the efficiency of pollutant removal.

[0008] In summary, current technologies for improving ecological floating islands (floating beds) tend to be a combination of various technologies, such as adding adsorbent materials or fillers to the floating islands (floating beds), laying microbial biofilm carriers, and aerating and oxygenating. However, there are still some problems that need to be solved: (1) Most of the current improvements are simple combinations of various technologies without organic integration to give full play to the synergistic effect of each technology; (2) N2O generated during the biological denitrification process of wastewater accounts for about 26% of the total release of greenhouse gases in the water chain. The warming effect of N2O is 150 to 320 times higher than that of CO2. Various floating bed designs still lack the effect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions during the purification process; (3) Existing ecological floating islands (floating beds) focus on the removal of conventional pollutants (such as COD, N, P) without considering the treatment of new pollutants (such as antibiotics); (4) Most of the improvement technologies focus on the utilization of the water surface and underwater space, and the utilization of the three-dimensional space above the water is insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology that can organically integrate the advantages of various technologies such as plants, microorganisms, and aeration to improve the purification efficiency of conventional and new pollutants, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make full use of three-dimensional space.

The aeration process generates no bubbles, significantly improving the oxygen transfer rate and oxygen utilization efficiency. Under aeration, an aerobic-facultative-anaerobic microbial membrane forms on the porous oxygen-permeable membrane. The rich microbial community can effectively degrade various conventional and novel pollutants. The air transferred through the porous oxygen-permeable membrane is released into the plant root zone, promoting root growth and enhancing root absorption and rhizosphere microbial degradation, thereby improving pollutant removal efficiency. This invention also incorporates a growth promoter for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which directly promotes their reproduction and increases their abundance by inducing the secretion of specific substances from plant roots. These bacteria directly convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen during denitrification, significantly reducing N2O emissions and achieving greenhouse gas emission reduction. Furthermore, this invention allows for flexible planar and three-dimensional assembly of the tank to suit different surface water areas and treatment requirements, fully utilizing underwater, surface, and above-water spaces. The entire aerated ecological tank organically combines phytoremediation, aeration, and microbial membrane technologies, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing land area, and significantly improving the purification effect on both conventional and novel pollutants.

[0073] The concentration of pollutants in the treated water of the river channel that was classified as worse than Class V was reduced. The removal effect is shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0074] Comparative Example 3:

[0075] Referring to Example 2 or 3, the difference is that the aeration and breathable oxygenation membrane is removed, and only four plant baskets planted with reeds are placed.

[0076] The concentration of pollutants in the river was reduced after treatment, as shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0085]

[0086] As can be seen from Tables 1-4:

[0087] (1) This ecological box can effectively improve the removal efficiency of conventional pollutants such as COD, TN, TP, and ammonia nitrogen, as well as new pollutants such as some antibiotics (such as sulfadiazine, chlortetracycline, and tetracycline).

[0088] (2) Removal rate of the same pollutant: Example 2 > Comparative Example 1 > Comparative Example 3, Example 3 > Comparative Example 2 > Comparative Example 3, indicating that the combination of plants and aeration boxes (Examples 2 and 3) is more effective in removing pollutants than the treatment of aeration boxes alone (Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2) or plants alone (Comparative Example 3).

[0089] (3) The removal rates of various conventional pollutants and antibiotics in Examples 2 and 3 are comparable. Combined with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the three-dimensional arrangement of the aeration box has a better effect on the removal of pollutants. This may be because the increased height leads to a longer residence time of the water in the box, which promotes the full reaction between pollutants and microorganisms. In addition, the falling water carries a large amount of oxygen, which also enhances the purification effect of plants and microorganisms. This shows that the three-dimensional arrangement of the ecological box can not only save the floor space, but also improve the removal effect of pollutants to a certain extent.

[0090] (4) Removal rates of COD, TN and sulfadiazine: Example 2 > Comparative Example 1 + Comparative Example 3, Example 3 > Comparative Example 2 + Comparative Example 3. That is, the removal effects of Example 2 and Example 3 are better than the sum of the effects of individual plants and individual aeration boxes, indicating that plants and aeration boxes have a certain synergistic effect in removing COD, TN and sulfadiazine.

[0091] In summary, this invention organically integrates phytoremediation technology, aeration and oxygenation technology, and microbial membrane technology to construct a low-carbon, three-dimensional aerated ecological box. The aeration and oxygenation technology in this invention is a bubble-free aeration technology, employing a porous oxygen-permeable membrane for aeration from the inside out. The aeration process generates no bubbles, significantly improving the oxygen transfer rate and oxygen utilization efficiency. Under aeration, an aerobic-facultative-anaerobic microbial membrane forms on the porous oxygen-permeable membrane. The rich microbial community can effectively degrade various conventional and novel pollutants. The air transferred through the porous oxygen-permeable membrane is released into the plant root zone, promoting root growth and enhancing root absorption and rhizosphere microbial degradation, thereby improving pollutant removal efficiency. This invention also incorporates a growth promoter for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which directly promotes their reproduction and increases their abundance by inducing the secretion of specific substances from plant roots. These bacteria directly convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen during denitrification, significantly reducing N2O emissions and achieving greenhouse gas emission reduction. Furthermore, this invention allows for flexible planar and three-dimensional assembly of the tank to suit different surface water areas and treatment requirements, fully utilizing underwater, surface, and above-water spaces. The entire aerated ecological tank organically combines phytoremediation, aeration, and microbial membrane technologies, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing land area, and significantly improving the purification effect on both conventional and novel pollutants.
