Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment devices, and particularly to a device and method for treating sewage by photocatalysis combined with hydrogen autotrophic denitrification. Background Art
[0002] Drinking groundwater contaminated with nitrate can seriously endanger human health, and may cause methemoglobinemia and induce cancer. Currently, nitrate-contaminated water with a low organic carbon content is widespread, which has a certain impact on the ecological environment and human health. At the same time, due to the limitation of the organic carbon content in the water body and factors such as treatment costs, the current treatment technologies for such nitrate-contaminated water bodies are still relatively limited. Compared with other current technologies for treating nitrate-contaminated groundwater, hydrogen autotrophic denitrification is a promising and more environmentally friendly technology that can provide safe drinking water. H2 neither harms the environment nor causes damage to human health, and the hydrogen autotrophic denitrification method only requires an inorganic carbon source to complete its own metabolism, which can avoid secondary pollution caused by adding external organic matter, and is very suitable for treating nitrate-contaminated groundwater with a low carbon-nitrogen ratio. Compared with heterotrophic bacteria, the amount of excess sludge produced by hydrogen autotrophic bacteria denitrification is lower, which can effectively reduce the reactor blockage and simplify the subsequent treatment process. No harmful by-products are produced due to the substrate during the denitrification process, and hydrogen as the electron donor will not persist in the treated water. However, due to the low nitrate utilization rate and the difficulties in hydrogen transportation and storage, the hydrogen autotrophic denitrification technology is limited in practical applications.

[0040] The following is the method process for effective simultaneous nitrogen and carbon removal from low carbon-nitrogen ratio sewage using the device of the present invention:
[0041] Step 1: Reactor acclimation stage: The anaerobic sludge from the denitrification tank of the sewage treatment plant is allowed to stand to obtain denitrifying sludge, which is placed in a Sequencing batch reactor activated sludge process (SBR) reactor and acclimated and cultured according to the operating conditions shown in Table 1 below for the SBR reactor acclimation period. Add NaHCO3, NaNO3 and trace elements, introduce H2 and exhaust the dissolved oxygen.
[0042]
[0043] Table 1
[0044] Constant temperature stirring culture. When the NO3 - removal rate reaches more than 80 - 90%, a denitrification cycle is completed. After the cycle ends, replenish NaNO3 and continue acclimation until the denitrification cycle (i.e., the hydraulic retention time, HRT) is shortened to 8 h, which is regarded as successful acclimation. Under different HRT conditions, the operating conditions within one cycle of SBR are set as shown in Table 2 Operating conditions within one cycle of SBR under different HRT conditions. During the sludge acclimation and culture period, measure the pH regularly. When the pH value exceeds 8, add NaHCO3 to adjust the pH to 6 - 7.
[0045]
[0046] Table 2
[0047] Step 2: Preparation of photocatalytic slow-release beads: Weigh a certain amount of sodium alginate (SA), kaolin and Fe3O4, dissolve them in deionized water, mix and stir evenly, and then heat and dissolve at 90 °C for 2 h to obtain an SA colloidal emulsion. Cool to room temperature. The mass percentages of each component are 8 - 15% SA, 0.5% - 1% kaolin and 0.5% - 1% Fe3O4; Take a certain amount of photocatalytic material, dissolve it in deionized water, and then mix and stir evenly with the SA emulsion in a ratio of 1:10 - 1:5; Slowly drip the photocatalytic material / SA mixture into a saturated boric acid solution containing 5 wt% calcium chloride using a peristaltic pump, and carry out a cross-linking reaction for 3 - 4 h. Use deionized water to repeatedly wash away the uncross-linked monomers to obtain photocatalyst slow-release beads;
[0048] Step 3: Photocatalytic reaction coupling stage: Place the photocatalyst slow-release pellets prepared in Step 2 between the upper and lower partitions of the device of the present invention, install the waterproof lamp belt, and at the same time place the hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying sludge domesticated in Step 1 in the device to treat low-carbon-nitrogen ratio nitrate wastewater. Introduce H2 gas into the device to remove dissolved oxygen. The domesticated sludge, sewage, and photocatalyst slow-release pellets form a photocatalytic coupling biodegradation reactor, which is the state when the device of the present invention is in use. Under light conditions, microorganisms use the H2 generated by the photocatalyst reaction to carry out hydrogen autotrophic denitrification reaction. During the photocatalytic coupling hydrogen autotrophic denitrification reaction process, the method of gradually reducing the externally added H2 is adopted, so that the functional microorganisms in the reactor gradually use the H2 generated by water photolysis as the electron donor for denitrification. In one cycle of SBR, the water inlet is set for 15 minutes, the reaction is for 6.5 hours, the precipitation is for 1 hour, and the water outlet is for 15 minutes. As shown in Table 3, the operating conditions of the photocatalyst coupling period of the hydrogen autotrophic denitrification reactor, from the 78th to the 89th day of operation, add 50 mg / L of photocatalyst slow-release pellets to the reactor, and the externally added H2 pressure is reduced from 0.07 - 0.08 MPa to 0.05 - 0.06 MPa; from the 90th to the 105th day of operation, the dosage of photocatalyst slow-release pellets is increased to 100 mg / L, and the externally added H2 pressure is reduced from 0.05 - 0.06 MPa to 0.03 - 0.04 MPa; while from the 106th to the 126th day of operation, the dosage of photocatalyst slow-release pellets is increased to 200 mg / L, and the externally added H2 pressure is further reduced to 0.01 - 0.02 MPa; on the 127th day of operation, the dosage of photocatalyst slow-release pellets is adjusted to 300 mg / L, and at this time the externally added H2 pressure is zero. The H2 generated by the photocatalyst for water photolysis can replace part of the externally added H2, and finally realize the effective coupling of the photocatalytic reaction and the hydrogen autotrophic denitrification biological process, saving the externally added H2 energy.
[0049] During the process, the determination of the days such as the 78th to the 89th day and the 90th to the 105th day is based on whether the total nitrogen removal rate reaches more than 70%. The amount of reduced air pressure is also obtained according to actual experiments.
[0050]
[0051] Table 3
[0052] The following are two specific implementation processes of the method of the present invention:
[0053] Example 1:
[0054] Place the activated sludge in the device of the present invention for cultivation and domestication to enrich the hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying functional flora. During the domestication process, artificial water is used for water distribution, and NO3 in the influent -The concentration of -N is 30 mg / L, and the artificial influent water quality characteristics are 0.180 mg / L NaNO3, 6.50 mg / L NaHCO3, 7.3 mg / L CaCl2·2H2O, 5.0 mg / L FeSO4·7H2O, 2.5 mg / L MnCl2·4H2O, 0.5 mg / L CoCl2·6H2O, 0.5 mg / L (NH4)6Mo7O 24 ·4H2O, 0.22 mg / L ZnSO4·7H2O and 0.2 mg / L CuSO4·5H2O. The water temperature is controlled at 30 - 35 °C. Under the condition of constant temperature stirring, H2 is introduced into the reactor as an electron donor, and the inlet gas pressure is 0.07 - 0.08 MPa. The enrichment of hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria is achieved by gradually reducing the hydraulic retention time. The initial hydraulic retention time is set to 36 h. When the concentrations of NO3 - and NO2 - are reduced to 0.2 mg / L and 0.1 mg / L respectively, the hydraulic retention time is shortened to 24 h and continuous domestication is carried out until the hydraulic retention time is shortened to 8 h and the removal rate of NO3 - in the effluent is stable above 90%, which is regarded as successful domestication.
[0055] Under different HRT conditions, the operation of one cycle of SBR is set as shown in Table 2. When HRT = 36 h, the influent is for 15 min, the reaction is for 33.5 h, the sedimentation is for 2 h, and the effluent is for 15 min; when HRT = 24 h, the influent is for 15 min, the reaction is for 21.5 h, the sedimentation is for 2 h, and the effluent is for 15 min; when HRT = 12 h, the influent is for 15 min, the reaction is for 10.5 h, the sedimentation is for 1 h, and the effluent is for 15 min; when HRT = 8 h, the influent is for 15 min, the reaction is for 6.5 h, the sedimentation is for 1 h, and the effluent is for 15 min. During the domestication process of hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying sludge, the change of NO3 - -N removal rate in the effluent with time is as Figure 2 shown.
[0056] Example 2:
[0057] A photocatalyst slow-release sphere is prepared by using the photocatalytic material graphite-phase carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and sodium alginate, and the photocatalyst released by the sphere is used to photocatalytically decompose water to produce hydrogen, providing an electron donor for the hydrogen autotrophic denitrification process.
[0058] Among them, the preparation steps of g-C3N4 are as follows: Weigh a certain mass of melamine and put it into a crucible with a lid. Place the crucible in a muffle furnace and heat it in an air atmosphere. The initial temperature is 20 °C, and it is heated to 500 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min and kept for 300 min. After the calcined product is naturally cooled, it is ground, dried and stored to prepare g-C3N4.
[0059] The domesticated hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying activated sludge was placed in the device of the present invention to treat nitrate wastewater with a low carbon-nitrogen ratio. The artificial simulated wastewater had a NO3 - concentration of 30 mg / L, a COD concentration of 60 mg / L, a C / N of 2, a sludge concentration set at 2000 mg / L, and a hydraulic retention time set at 8 h.
[0060] In one cycle of SBR, the water inlet was set for 15 min, the reaction was for 6.5 h, the sedimentation was for 1 h, and the water outlet was for 15 min. At the initial stage of the reactor operation, 50 mg / L of g-C3N4 / SA slow-release pellets were added. Under the illumination condition, the functional bacteria used the H2 generated by the photocatalytic water splitting reaction of g-C3N4 for hydrogen autotrophic denitrification reaction. The illumination intensity was 500 mW / cm 2 2. Aeration was carried out with H2 through a needle for 5 - 10 minutes to create an anoxic / anaerobic environment. At this time, the external H2 pressure was 0.05 - 0.06 MPa; as the reactor continued to operate, the microorganisms in the activated sludge gradually adapted to the photocatalytic reaction and coupled with it, increasing the dosage of g-C3N4 / SA slow-release pellets to 100 mg / L. At this time, the external H2 pressure decreased to 0.03 - 0.04 MPa; when the dosage of g-C3N4 / SA slow-release pellets reached 200 mg / L, the external H2 pressure was 0.01 - 0.02 MPa; when the dosage of g-C3N4 / SA slow-release pellets reached 300 mg / L, the photocatalytic reaction was successfully coupled with hydrogen autotrophic denitrification. At this time, the external H2 pressure was 0 MPa. To ensure sufficient reaction, the reaction temperature was controlled at 30 °C.
[0061] During the operation of the photocatalyst slow-release pellet coupled hydrogen autotrophic denitrification reactor, the change of the NO3 - -N removal rate in the effluent with time was as shown in Figure 3 . From the NO3 - -N removal performance, it can be seen that by using the method provided by the present invention to treat NO3 - -N in groundwater with a low C / N ratio, when the reactor ran to the 148th - 158th day, the NO3 - -N concentration in the effluent was 2.43 - 2.94 mg / L, and the removal rate of NO3 - -N in water reached 90.2 - 91.9%.
[0062] It can be seen from this that adding a photocatalyst can effectively improve the degradation efficiency of hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria on NO3 - -N in groundwater with a low carbon-nitrogen ratio, reduce the total nitrogen content in the effluent, and at the same time improve the metabolic activity of hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. In addition, the photogenerated electrons produced by the photocatalytic reaction can also improve the denitrification efficiency of hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria through the electron transfer chain.
[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
