Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of kitchen wastewater treatment technology, and relates to a BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment system and method. Background Technology

[0002] The production of kitchen wastewater has increased rapidly with the improvement of urbanization and the rapid development of the catering industry. It is characterized by high water content, high organic matter content, and high salt and oil content. The main technical route for the resource utilization of kitchen wastewater is anaerobic fermentation technology, which is relatively mature. Currently, anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), which combine membrane separation technology and anaerobic fermentation, have attracted much attention in the field of wastewater and waste treatment due to their excellent microbial retention capacity. Compared with traditional anaerobic fermentation systems, they can prevent excessive loss of microorganisms and achieve good methanogenesis efficiency under high loads, thereby improving the treatment efficiency of kitchen wastewater.

[0003] Currently, an improved technology for treating kitchen wastewater based on AnMBR technology is the B-AnMBR system, which is constructed by adding biochar (B) to the AnMBR system. As an environmentally friendly material, biochar can not only adsorb toxic substances, maintain the pH stability of the system, and regulate the microbial population when added to the AnMBR system, thus providing anaerobic fermentation performance, but also has higher economic benefits compared with other carbon materials.

[0004] In addition, an E-AnMBR system was constructed by combining electrochemistry (E) with AnMBR. Electrochemistry enhances the efficiency of AnMBR, and voltage action can enrich electroactive microorganisms and electrotrophic methanogenic archaea, while enriching hydrogen-trophic methanogenic bacteria to alleviate H+ oxidative stress. + The resulting decrease in pH overcomes thermodynamic limitations and increases the degradation rate of volatile fatty acids (VFAs).

[0005] In summary, based on the AnMBR process, existing B-AnMBR and E-AnMBR improved process systems can improve the anaerobic fermentation efficiency of kitchen wastewater to a certain extent. However, the proliferation of electroactive microorganisms is difficult, the system start-up is slow, and the anaerobic fermentation efficiency needs to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment system and method that can improve the anaerobic fermentation efficiency of kitchen wastewater.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment system of the present invention includes an inlet tank, a BE-AnMBR reactor, an outlet tank, and a power supply box.

[0008] The outlet of the inlet tank is connected to the inlet at the top of the BE-AnMBR reactor. A membrane module protective sleeve is installed inside the BE-AnMBR reactor. The membrane module protective sleeve contains the MBR membrane module and an aerator. The outlet of the MBR membrane module is connected to the outlet tank. The aerator is located at the bottom of the MBR membrane module. An anode plate and a cathode plate are installed on the outside of the membrane module protective sleeve. The membrane module protective sleeve is located between the anode plate and the cathode plate. Biochar is filled between the outside of the membrane module protective sleeve and the inner wall of the BE-AnMBR reactor. The power supply box is connected to the anode plate and the cathode plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the outlet of the inlet tank is connected to the inlet at the top of the BE-AnMBR reactor via an inlet pump;

[0010] The outlet of the MBR membrane module is connected to the outlet tank via a membrane pressure gauge, the outlet on the top side of the BE-AnMBR reactor, and the outlet pump.

[0011] Furthermore, the BE-AnMBR reactor is equipped with a screen located below the membrane module protective sleeve, biochar, cathode plate, anode plate, MBR membrane module, and aerator.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a sludge storage tank, with the sludge discharge port at the bottom of the BE-AnMBR reactor connected to the sludge storage tank via a sludge discharge pump.

[0013] Furthermore, an online thermometer is installed on the side of the BE-AnMBR reactor.

[0014] Furthermore, sampling ports are provided on the side of the BE-AnMBR reactor.

[0015] Furthermore, the gas circulation outlet at the top of the BE-AnMBR reactor is connected to the aerator via a gas circulation pump and a gas circulation inlet.

[0016] Furthermore, the gas outlet at the top of the BE-AnMBR reactor is connected to a gas collector.

[0017] Furthermore, the biochar is corn cob.

[0018] Furthermore, a water bath layer is provided on the outer wall of the BE-AnMBR reactor, and the water bath outlet of the water bath layer is connected to the water bath inlet on the water bath layer via a constant temperature chamber and a water bath circulation pump.

[0019] The BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0020] Water from the inlet tank enters the BE-AnMBR reactor, where it is treated using a combination of biochar, electrochemical, and membrane separation technologies before being discharged into the outlet tank.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In the specific operation of the BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment system and method described in this invention, biochar is added to the anaerobic membrane bioreactor, and combined with electrochemistry and external voltage regulation, a BE-AnMBR system is constructed, which further enhances the anaerobic fermentation efficiency of kitchen wastewater based on the existing AnMBR improved process system.

[0023] This invention combines biochar with an external voltage. The good conductivity and high specific surface area of ​​biochar provide a large number of attachment, growth and reproduction sites for electroactive microorganisms in suspended sludge, promoting their growth and proliferation. This allows the electrochemical system to generate current more quickly and improves its stability.

[0024] The BE-AnMBR system enhances the activity of electroactive microorganisms in the biofilm on the electrode surface and in the suspended sludge, thereby improving the efficiency of microbial utilization of organic matter and enabling rapid reactor start-up. At the same time, it can enrich more functional bacteria such as Petrimonias, Methanosarcina, and Methanospirillum, and improve the efficiency of anaerobic methanogenesis through direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) symtrophic nutrient production.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] refer to Figure 1 This invention discloses a BE-AnMBR method for treating kitchen wastewater. The BE-AnMBR method is based on a BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment system, which includes an inlet tank 1, a BE-AnMBR reactor 3, an outlet tank 5, and a power supply box 22. The outlet of the inlet tank 1 is connected to the inlet 16 at the top of the BE-AnMBR reactor 3. A membrane module protective sleeve 14 is installed inside the BE-AnMBR reactor 3. The protective sleeve 14 houses an MBR membrane module 13 and an aerator 15. The outlet of the MBR membrane module 13 is connected to the effluent tank 5. The aerator 15 is located at the bottom of the MBR membrane module 13. An anode plate 23 and a cathode plate 24 are arranged on the outside of the membrane module protective sleeve 14. The membrane module protective sleeve 14 is located between the anode plate 23 and the cathode plate 24. Biochar 21 is filled between the outside of the membrane module protective sleeve 14 and the inner wall of the BE-AnMBR reactor 3. The power supply box 22 is connected to the anode plate 23 and the cathode plate 24.

[0057] Specifically, the BE-AnMBR kitchen wastewater treatment method includes the following steps:

[0058] Water from the inlet tank 1 enters the BE-AnMBR reactor 3, where it is treated using a combination of biochar, electrochemical, and membrane separation technologies before being discharged into the outlet tank 5.

[0059] This invention has the following characteristics:

[0060] This invention integrates biochar, electrochemical, and membrane separation technologies into anaerobic fermentation technology to construct a BE-AnMBR system. By combining biochar with an external voltage, the excellent conductivity and high specific surface area of ​​biochar provide numerous attachment sites for electroactive microorganisms in suspended sludge, promoting their growth and proliferation. This allows the electrochemical system to generate current more quickly and improves its stability. The BE-AnMBR system enhances the activity of the biofilm on the electrode surface and the electroactive microorganisms in the suspended sludge, improving the efficiency of microbial utilization of organic matter and enabling rapid reactor start-up. Simultaneously, it enriches more functional bacteria such as Petrimonias, Methanosarcina, and Methanospirillum, promoting methanogenesis through direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) symtrophic nutrient production and improving anaerobic methanogenesis efficiency.

[0061] Based on existing anaerobic membrane bioreactors, this system can further increase methane production and methanogenesis start-up rate, and enhance methanogenesis efficiency; it can further reduce effluent VFA and SCOD concentrations, and enhance pollutant removal efficiency; it can further effectively alleviate pH drop and increase pH recovery rate, providing a more stable acid-base environment for anaerobic fermentation; and it can further increase the abundance of viable microorganisms, thereby improving anaerobic fermentation efficiency.

[0062] Confirmatory test

[0063] This embodiment includes four systems: the present invention and three control systems. The control systems are AnMBR, B-AnMBR, and E-AnMBR. The effective reactor volume of both the embodiment and the control systems is 6L. The MBR membrane used is a 0.22μm flat sheet membrane. The wastewater used is kitchen wastewater after three-phase separation from a kitchen waste treatment plant. The organic loading (OLR) of the wastewater is 3.75g / (COD·d). Each system is operated at a constant temperature of 35℃ for 51 days. Specifically, the B-AnMBR system is an AnMBR system with biochar 21 added; the E-AnMBR system is an AnMBR system with an anode plate 23 and a cathode plate 24 and an external power supply; and the BE-AnMBR system is an AnMBR system with biochar 21 added and an anode plate 23 and a cathode plate 24 and an external power supply.

[0064] The biochar 21 is corn cob biochar, with an addition amount of 10 g / L; the voltage of the external power supply is 1 V; the electrode is composed of titanium wire bound with carbon felt.

[0065] During the operation of the four-way system, the following parameters are monitored: methane production, effluent dissolved COD (SCOD), effluent pH, effluent volatile fatty acids (VFA), and the ratio of live to dead bacteria abundance in the system.

[0066] 1. Methane production of the four systems

[0067] The daily methane production changes of the four systems are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, among the four systems, the AnMBR system had the slowest start-up speed, with daily methane production only gradually increasing from day 17. The B-AnMBR and E-AnMBR systems had similar start-up speeds, with daily methane production gradually increasing from day 9. The BE-AnMBR system had the fastest start-up speed, with daily methane production beginning to gradually increase from day 5. Figure 2 It can be seen that during the operation of the four systems, the daily methane production of the BE-AnMBR system was higher than that of the other three systems for most of the time.

[0068] The results show that the addition of biochar 21 and the application of external voltage can improve the start-up speed and methanogenic yield of the AnMBR system. Combining biochar 21 with external voltage in the AnMBR system can further improve the start-up speed and methanogenic yield.

[0069] 2. SCOD concentration in the effluent of the four systems

[0070] SCOD concentration in the effluent of the four systems is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, during the operation of the four systems, the effluent SCOD concentration of the BE-AnMBR system was AnMBR > B-AnMBR > E-AnMBR > BE-AnMBR. BE-AnMBR consistently maintained the lowest concentration among the four reactors. When the reactor reached day 51 of operation, the effluent SCOD concentrations of the AnMBR, B-AnMBR, E-AnMBR, and BE-AnMBR systems were 9.1 g COD / L, 6.1 g COD / L, 6 g COD / L, and 4.8 g COD / L, respectively, with the BE-AnMBR system showing the lowest concentration. The operational results indicate that the addition of biochar 21 and the application of external voltage can effectively reduce the effluent SCOD concentration of the AnMBR system. Furthermore, combining biochar 21 with external voltage in the AnMBR system can further reduce the effluent SCOD concentration.

[0071] 3. pH of effluent from the four systems

[0072] The pH of the effluent from the four systems is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the effluent pH of all four systems exhibited a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. During the start-up phase, the effluent pH of all four systems decreased rapidly. The lowest pH values ​​for AnMBR, B-AnMBR, E-AnMBR, and BE-AnMBR were 6.3, 6.6, 6.6, and 6.9, respectively. The pH values ​​began to rise from days 18, 13, 15, and 9, and then rebounded to 7.5 or higher on days 38, 25, 28, and 17. The operational results indicate that the addition of biochar 21 and the application of external voltage can effectively alleviate the pH decrease and increase the rate of pH recovery. Furthermore, the combination of biochar 21 and external voltage in the AnMBR system can further alleviate the pH decrease and increase the rate of pH recovery, providing a more stable acid-base environment for the anaerobic fermentation reaction.

[0073] 4. Four sets of system effluent VFA

[0074] The four sets of system effluent VFA such as Figure 5 As shown, the effluent VFA and SCOD concentrations of the four systems exhibited largely consistent trends. During operation, the effluent VFA concentration of the BE-AnMBR system was in the order of AnMBR > B-AnMBR > E-AnMBR > BE-AnMBR. BE-AnMBR consistently maintained the lowest concentration among the four reactors. From day 39, the effluent VFA concentration of the BE-AnMBR system began to fall below 1 g COD / L, the B-AnMBR system from day 45, and the E-AnMBR system from day 48. However, the effluent VFA concentration of the AnMBR system remained at 2.8 g COD / L on day 51, significantly higher than the other three systems. The operational results indicate that the addition of biochar 21 and external voltage can both reduce the effluent VFA concentration. Furthermore, combining biochar 21 with external voltage in the AnMBR system can further reduce the effluent VFA concentration.

[0075] 5. Changes in the activity and mortality of bacterial microorganisms in the four systems

[0076] The changes in bacterial activity and mortality in the four systems were characterized using laser scanning confocal microscopy (CLSM) on day 51. Figure 6 As shown, the abundance of viable bacteria in the four systems AnMBR, B-AnMBR, E-AnMBR, and BE-AnMBR were 31.5%, 35.4%, 38.7%, and 44.9%, respectively. The results indicate that the addition of biochar 21 and the application of external voltage can both increase the abundance of viable bacteria in the AnMBR system. Furthermore, combining biochar 21 with external voltage in the AnMBR system can further increase the abundance of viable bacteria.
