Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biofilm preparation, and relates to an air self-diffusion microbial film for sewage treatment and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aeration and sludge-water separation are the two core elements of sewage treatment technology. Traditional activated sludge processes rely on forced aeration or mechanical aeration to provide oxygen for microorganisms. This method consumes extremely high energy, and aeration energy consumption accounts for 50% to 70% of the total energy consumption of sewage treatment plants. High energy consumption not only leads to increased operating costs, but also puts pressure on achieving low-carbon environmental protection. In order to achieve the separation of sludge and water, traditional activated sludge processes must be equipped with large sedimentation tanks and reaction tanks, which occupy nearly half of the land resources of sewage treatment plants, significantly increasing investment and construction costs; at the same time, sludge return is required, which consumes energy and cannot enrich functional microorganisms, reducing treatment efficiency. Especially in urban sewage treatment, land resources are tight, and this large-scale process significantly increases infrastructure and operating costs.

[0003] Although the biofilm process has improved the separation of sludge and water, and has effectively reduced the need for sedimentation tanks through membrane filtration, aeration is still its key link. The aeration process consumes huge amounts of energy, and the efficiency of bubble dissolved oxygen is low, which affects the sufficient oxygen supply to microorganisms and reduces the efficiency of sewage treatment. At the same time, membrane components face serious membrane pollution and blockage problems, and need to be regularly returned for cleaning, and the cost of membrane components is expensive. The membrane aeration process mainly uses commercial hollow fiber membranes as microbial attachment carriers. The membrane components are expensive and have large gas diffusion resistance. A high-pressure gas source is required to drive oxygen transmission to supply oxygen to the microbial membrane.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the problems of high aeration energy consumption, serious sludge loss and large area of ​​secondary sedimentation tank in the existing activated sludge process, as well as the challenges faced by the existing membrane process such as high membrane component cost, high-pressure air source requirement and easy clogging, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on air self-diffusion microbial membranes that can be used for sewage treatment.

[0055] 1. Zero-power air self-diffusion oxygen supply test

[0056] Using the above Figure 3 The reactor configuration in the reactor was assembled with air diffusion microbial membranes on both sides of the reactor for air diffusion oxygen supply test (the thickness of the air diffusion biofilm used in this test was 0.3 mm).

The air diffusion microbial membrane is assembled on both sides of the reactor, and the suspended sludge is inoculated to form functional bacteria to start the nitrification reactor. After 2-3 days of biofilm formation, the sludge suspension in the reactor is discharged, and the microorganisms on the biofilm are used as the main body of nitrification functional bacteria; the oxygen required for nitrification is provided by air diffusion, and there is no additional aeration facility. In this application, the influent NH4 + The concentration is 100 mg / L. The reactor is operated in batch mode with a hydraulic retention time of 24 h. The nitrification performance curve is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, a stable nitrifying biofilm can be formed in about 15 to 20 days; the NH4 + Can be completely converted into NO3 -The ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency (NRR) is as high as about 80%, and the nitrification is stable during the operation time of more than 80 days.

After the nitrification was stabilized, the influent was adjusted according to COD / NH4 + =3, add carbon source to start denitrification, and sodium acetate is selected as the carbon source. The performance curve of simultaneous nitrification-denitrification is as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, nitrification is started within 15 to 20 days. After stabilization, adding sodium acetate as a carbon source can quickly start denitrification within 1 to 2 days. Air self-diffusion penetrates the respiratory membrane to supply oxygen to the reactor, and the oxygen concentration extends from the membrane surface to the liquid chamber to form an aerobic-anaerobic / anoxic gradient; on the dissolved oxygen gradient, nitrification reaction (aerobic) and denitrification reaction (anaerobic) are directed in a confined space to achieve adaptive denitrification. NH4 in the solution + It can be completely converted into N2, with a total nitrogen removal efficiency (TNR) of up to about 100%, and the synchronous nitrification-denitrification is stable during the operation time of more than 80 days. This shows that the air self-diffusion microbial membrane for sewage treatment prepared by the present invention can realize zero-power air self-diffusion oxygen supply and can realize the rapid start-up and stable operation of synchronous nitrification-denitrification in a confined space.

7. Application of the air self-diffusion microbial membrane according to any one of claims 1 to 3 in simultaneous nitrification-denitrification adaptive denitrification.

8. The use according to claim 7, characterized in that: The startup method of the synchronous nitrification-denitrification adaptive denitrification is as follows: ① Step-by-step startup: assemble the air self-diffusion microbial membrane onto the reaction device, first batch culture under the condition of ammonia nitrogen influent to achieve the startup and stabilization of the nitrification function, and then + The mass ratio of COD and NH4 is 1-3:1, and a carbon source is added to the influent, wherein the carbon source is any one of sodium acetate, sucrose or glucose, to culture denitrifying functional bacteria; ② Synchronous start: according to COD and NH4 + The mass ratio is 1~3, and ammonia nitrogen and carbon source are added to the inlet water conditions to start synchronously.
