[0047] Traditional technologies employ methods such as physicochemical adsorption, various types of (electro)chemical oxidation, dense membrane separation, and various biological treatments to treat recalcitrant industrial wastewater. However, these methods all have certain drawbacks, such as: high energy consumption, reliance on material transfer rather than transformation, poor shock resistance, slow degradation rate, negative impacts of process byproducts on subsequent processes, the need for significant oxygen supply energy to remove high concentrations of COD and ammonia nitrogen converted from organic nitrogen, and a lack of consideration for energy and resource recovery.
[0048] The first aspect of this application provides an industrial wastewater treatment device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the industrial wastewater treatment device includes a hydrolysis acidifier 100, a separator 200, an ammonia nitrogen recovery unit 300, and a bioreactor 400.
[0049] The system comprises the following components: a hydrolysis acidifier 100, which degrades organic matter in wastewater to form a hydrolysis acidified solution; a separator 200, connected to the hydrolysis acidifier 100, which separates ammonia nitrogen from the hydrolysis acidified solution to form an ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution and a deammoniation hydrolysis acidified solution; an ammonia nitrogen recovery unit 300, connected to the separator 200, which treats and recovers ammonia nitrogen from the ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution; and a bioreactor 400, connected to the separator 200, which degrades, transforms, and recovers organic matter from the deammoniation hydrolysis acidified solution.
[0050] This application employs a hydrolysis acidifier 100 to degrade wastewater, combined with a separator 200 to separate ammonia nitrogen from the hydrolysis acidification liquid, resulting in an ammonia nitrogen-enriched liquid. This not only allows for the recovery of ammonia nitrogen from the enriched liquid using an ammonia nitrogen recovery unit 300, but also reduces the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the hydrolysis acidification liquid, thereby improving biodegradability and methanogenesis potential, and enhancing the biochemical treatment effect and energy conversion recovery rate. The industrial wastewater treatment device of this application sequentially performs hydrolysis acidification, ammonia nitrogen separation and removal, and biochemical treatment on wastewater, effectively improving the biodegradability and ammonification rate of the wastewater, and enabling the recovery of ammonia nitrogen and methane, achieving a highly efficient, energy-saving, and green process for wastewater treatment.
[0051] In some embodiments, the hydrolysis acidifier 100 includes a first housing 101, and a first ion exchange membrane 102, a first anode 103 and a first cathode 104 disposed within the first housing 101. The first anode 103 and the first cathode 104 are respectively disposed on different sides of the first ion exchange membrane 102. The first anode 103 and the first cathode 104 are electrically connected. Anaerobic hydrolytic bacteria are inoculated within the first housing 101.
[0052] Optionally, the wastewater is injected into the side of the first ion exchange membrane 102 near the first anode 103.
[0053] Optionally, a power source or load is provided on the wire connecting the first anode 103 and the first cathode 104. For example, if a power source is provided on the wire connecting the first anode 103 and the first cathode 104, the first cathode 104 is connected to the negative terminal of the power source, and the first anode 103 is connected to the positive terminal of the power source. If a load is provided on the wire connecting the first anode 103 and the first cathode 104, a galvanic cell structure is formed, in which the first cathode 104 serves as the positive terminal of the galvanic cell, and the first anode 103 serves as the negative terminal of the galvanic cell.
[0054] Optionally, the hydrolysis acidifier 100 further includes an aeration element 105 disposed on the first housing 101, the aeration element 105 being used to supply oxygen to the first cathode 104. Further optionally, an aeration element 105 may also be disposed in the first anode 103 region. For example, the aeration element 105 may be at least one of an aeration pipe and an aeration disc. It is understood that the aeration rate of the aeration element 105 can be adjusted according to the load, hydraulic conditions, influent properties, and electrode characteristics of the hydrolysis acidifier 100. This application introduces oxygen into the hydrolysis acidifier 100, allowing oxygen to act as an electron acceptor, driving the oxidation of pollutants through the external circuit, causing partial ring opening of the pollutants, effectively reducing the molecular weight of organic matter in the pollutants, increasing the ammonification rate, and improving biodegradability.
[0055] Optionally, the hydrolysis acidifier 100 further includes a drive pump disposed on the first housing 101, the drive pump being used to mix and flow wastewater on both sides of the first ion exchange membrane 102.
[0056] Optionally, the first anode 103 and the first cathode 104 can each be independently selected from conductive carbon materials, such as at least one of carbon felt, graphite felt, carbon brush, and carbon cloth. They serve both as a microbial carrier, enhancing the attachment, enrichment, and retention of microorganisms, and as conductive electrodes.
[0057] In the hydrolysis acidification process of this application, under the oxidation of the first anode 103, the organic pollutant components in the wastewater undergo processes such as simple oxygenation reaction and deamination, transforming the organic matter into RO. - Or it may be further oxidized to form R-COO - The process involves the formation and release of ammonia nitrogen, while simultaneously reducing Lewis acidic components in the wastewater under the reducing action of the first cathode 104, such as reducing R-NO2 to R-NH3 or reducing azo compounds. Furthermore, the action of the first cathode 104 and the first anode 103 promotes the proliferation and enzyme activity of anaerobic hydrolytic bacteria, enhancing microbial activity and thus improving hydrolysis acidification efficiency. Therefore, this application enhances the hydrolysis acidification process through multiple pathways, including electrocatalysis and micro-aerobic stimulation, effectively promoting organic matter degradation and increasing ammonification rate.
[0058] Understandably, the residence time of wastewater in the hydrolysis acidifier 100 can be reasonably adjusted according to the condition of the wastewater.
[0059] In some embodiments, the separator 200 includes a bipolar membrane separator.
[0060] Optionally, the bipolar membrane separator includes a second housing 201, and a first bipolar membrane 202, a second bipolar membrane 203, a second ion exchange membrane 206, a second cathode 204, and a second anode 205 disposed within the second housing 201. The second ion exchange membrane 206 is disposed between the first bipolar membrane 202 and the second bipolar membrane 203. The second cathode 204 is disposed on the side of the first bipolar membrane 202 away from the second ion exchange membrane 206. The second anode 205 is disposed on the side of the second bipolar membrane 203 away from the second ion exchange membrane 206. The second cathode 204 and the second anode 205 are electrically connected.
[0061] An ammonia nitrogen enrichment region is formed between the first bipolar membrane 202 and the second ion exchange membrane 206. This ammonia nitrogen enrichment region is used to react the ammonia nitrogen separated from the hydrolysis acidification solution with the OH- generated by the first bipolar membrane 202. - A mixture is used to form an ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution. A deammoniation zone is formed between the second bipolar membrane 203 and the second ion exchange membrane 206. The hydrolyzed acidified solution is injected into the deammoniation zone, which is used to react the organic matter in the hydrolyzed acidified solution with the H2O generated by the second bipolar membrane 203. + The mixture forms a deammoniation hydrolysis acidification solution. It is understood that both the first and second bipolar membranes contain a catalyst-containing hydrated layer, which undergoes water polarization under the action of the electrodes, generating OH-. - and H + .
[0062] Optionally, the second cathode 204 can be any conductive electrode, such as a stainless steel mesh; the second anode 205 can be a boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode or a coated titanium anode DSA (Dimensionally Stable Anode).
[0063] In some embodiments, the side of the first bipolar membrane 202 away from the second ion exchange membrane 206 is a first electrolyte solution region, and the side of the second bipolar membrane 203 away from the second ion exchange membrane 206 is a second electrolyte solution region, and electrolyte solutions are independently injected into the first electrolyte solution region and the second electrolyte solution region respectively.
[0064] Optionally, the electrolyte solution can be adjusted according to actual needs, for example, it can be a 0.1 mol / L Na2SO4 solution.
[0065] This application employs a bipolar membrane separator to separate ammonia nitrogen and organic carbon, which can eliminate the inhibitory effect of ammonia nitrogen on methanogens in bioreactor 400 and enhance the tolerance of methanogens to VFAs (volatile fatty acids) concentrations. Furthermore, the OH generated by the bipolar membrane separator...- Converting ammonium ions into free ammonia, instead of directly adding alkali, allows for the recovery of ammonia nitrogen with low energy and chemical consumption. For example, the generated ammonium salt can be used to produce chemical raw materials or nitrogen fertilizer, saving on reagent costs and reducing carbon emissions.
[0066] In some embodiments, the ammonia nitrogen recovery unit 300 includes a third housing 301 and a hydrophobic and breathable membrane 302.
[0067] The hydrophobic and breathable membrane 302 is disposed inside the third housing 301, dividing the third housing 301 into an ammonia zone and a liquid storage zone. The ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution is injected into the liquid storage zone, and the ammonia gas obtained by the separation of the ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution through the hydrophobic and breathable membrane 302 enters the ammonia zone.
[0068] Optionally, the ammonia nitrogen recovery unit 300 further includes an ammonia absorber 303, which is circulated into the ammonia zone and is used to absorb the ammonia. Further optionally, the ammonia absorber 303 contains HCl and / or H2SO4. This application utilizes a hydrophobic and breathable membrane 302 to separate ammonia from the ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution, and uses hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid (e.g., 1 mol / L H2SO4) to absorb the ammonia to produce ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate, which can then be used to produce chemical raw materials or nitrogen fertilizer, recovering resources while reducing carbon emissions. Compared to the traditional "aeration stripping of free ammonia - acid absorption of ammonia" method, this application can save electricity and reduce indirect carbon emissions.
[0069] Optionally, the liquid storage area is also circulatedly connected to the ammonia nitrogen enrichment area.
[0070] In some embodiments, the bioreactor 400 includes an anaerobic membrane bioreactor for converting organic matter in the deammoniation hydrolysis acidification solution into methane.
[0071] In some embodiments, the anaerobic biological zone in the anaerobic membrane bioreactor can be an anaerobic fluidized bed, an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) or a completely mixed anaerobic reactor configuration. The membrane tank can be an internally submerged membrane module or an externally mounted membrane module. The membrane module can be a microfiltration membrane or an ultrafiltration membrane. The membrane material can be an organic membrane (e.g., PVDF, PTFE) or an inorganic membrane (e.g., ceramic membrane).
[0072] Furthermore, anaerobic membrane bioreactors can further degrade organic matter in wastewater and mineralize most of it, converting it into methane. The recovered methane can be used for energy production and reduce carbon emissions. The coupled low-pressure membrane can prevent sludge loss, so the sludge concentration can gradually increase with the length of operation time. Compared with traditional anaerobic digestion reactors (such as UASB), it can achieve a higher volumetric loading rate while maintaining a longer sludge retention time, which is conducive to the reproduction and growth of functional bacteria with long generation cycles, such as methanogens.
[0073] In some embodiments, a conductive carrier may be added to the anaerobic membrane bioreactor. This carrier serves both as a porous material to adsorb and load microorganisms and increase biomass, and as a conductive material and pseudocapacitor to promote interspecific electron transfer and buffer electrons to prevent H2O. + The cumulative effect is to reduce the toxicity of VFAs to microorganisms and accelerate the conversion of VFAs into methane.
[0074] Optionally, the conductive carrier in the anaerobic membrane bioreactor can be granular activated carbon, carbon felt, graphite felt, or biochar.
[0075] Optionally, the filling ratio of the conductive carrier can be 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the volume of the anaerobic biological zone.
[0076] Understandably, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of the deammoniation hydrolysis acidification liquid (mainly containing organic acids / alcohols) in the anaerobic membrane bioreactor can be selected according to the actual situation.
[0077] Optionally, a portion of the wastewater from the anaerobic membrane bioreactor is discharged into the deammoniation zone.
[0078] In some embodiments, the hydrolysis acidifier 100 and the separator 200 are an integral structure.
[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the hydrolysis acidifier 100 is disposed within the bipolar membrane separator, and the hydrolysis acidifier 100 and the bipolar membrane separator are integrally structured. The hydrolysis acidifier 100 includes a first ion exchange membrane 102, a first anode 103, and a first cathode 104. The first ion exchange membrane 102 is disposed in the ammonia removal zone, the first anode 103 is disposed between the first ion exchange membrane 102 and the second ion exchange membrane 206, and the first cathode 104 is disposed in the ammonia nitrogen enrichment zone. The first anode 103 and the first cathode 104 are connected via an external circuit. Optionally, wastewater is injected through the area between the first ion exchange membrane 102 and the second ion exchange membrane 206.
[0080] This application combines the hydrolysis acidifier 100 and the bipolar membrane separator into an integrated structure, reducing the footprint of the device, while simultaneously enabling real-time removal of NH4. + Organic acid ions migrate away from the hydrolysis acidification zone, reducing the potential inhibition of the hydrolysis acidification process. Specifically, a hydrolysis acidification zone is formed between the first ion exchange membrane 102 and the second ion exchange membrane 206, where anaerobic hydrolytic bacteria can be inoculated.
[0081] In some embodiments, a power supply is provided on the line connecting the second cathode 204 and the second anode 205. Optionally, the voltage applied between the second cathode 204 and the second anode 205 is 0.9V to 3V. This ensures that H2O can be generated. + and OH - In this case, energy consumption is saved. Moreover, when the hydrolysis acidifier and separator are integrated into one structure, it can effectively avoid the impact of excessive voltage on the microorganisms in the hydrolysis acidification process.
[0082] Optionally, when the hydrolysis acidifier 100 and the bipolar membrane separator are integrated, the first cathode 104 region undergoes an oxygen reduction reaction to produce OH under alkaline conditions. - The first cathode 104 can be a Pd-containing electrode, such as a Pd / C electrode, a Pd / Vulcan electrode, or a Pd / NrGO (Pd / nitrogen-doped graphene oxide) electrode, in which the four-electron pathway (4e- pathway) can mainly occur.
[0083] Understandably, this application places the first ion exchange membrane 102 in the deammoniation zone to avoid the generation of H2O by the second bipolar membrane 203. + The first ion exchange membrane 102 can prevent direct contact between the hydrolysis and acidification microorganisms and the bipolar membrane, thus mitigating bipolar membrane fouling. In addition, the selective permeability of the ion exchange membrane can reduce the osmotic pressure of the solution environment in which the bipolar membrane is located (compared to the hydrolysis and acidification solution), thereby reducing the obstruction to the migration of water molecules into the intermediate layer of the bipolar membrane.
[0084] It is understandable that the types of the first ion exchange membrane 102 and the second ion exchange membrane 206 can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the first ion exchange membrane 102 can be an anion exchange membrane, and the second ion exchange membrane 206 can be a cation exchange membrane.
[0085] Secondly, this application also provides a method for treating industrial wastewater using the industrial wastewater treatment apparatus as described in the first aspect, the method comprising:
[0086] Wastewater is fed into the hydrolysis acidifier 100 for hydrolysis acidification treatment, which degrades the organic matter in the wastewater to form a hydrolysis acidified liquid;
[0087] The hydrolysis acidification solution is passed into the separator 200 to separate and remove ammonia nitrogen from the hydrolysis acidification solution, forming an ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution and a deammoniated hydrolysis acidification solution.
[0088] The ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution is passed into the ammonia nitrogen recovery unit 300 to recover ammonia nitrogen from the ammonia nitrogen enrichment solution, and the deammoniation hydrolysis acidification solution is passed into the bioreactor 400 for biochemical treatment.
[0089] In some embodiments, the hydrolysis acidifier 100 includes a first anode 103, a first cathode 104, and a first ion exchange membrane 102, and the hydrolysis acidification process includes:
[0090] Wastewater is passed into the hydrolysis acidifier 100 inoculated with anaerobic hydrolytic bacteria, and the wastewater is degraded under the action of the first cathode 104 and / or the first anode 103.
[0091] Specifically, when the hydrolysis acidifier 100 and the separator 200 are independent devices, the hydrolysis acidification treatment includes: injecting wastewater into the hydrolysis acidifier 100, where a reduction reaction occurs under the action of the first cathode 104 and an oxidation reaction occurs under the action of the first anode 103, thereby achieving the degradation of the wastewater. During this period, the wastewater on the first cathode 104 side is circulated and mixed with the wastewater on the first anode 103 side by a drive pump.
[0092] When the hydrolysis acidifier 100 and the separator 200 are integrated, the hydrolysis acidification treatment includes: passing wastewater into the first anode 103 for oxidative degradation. The ammonia nitrogen produced during degradation permeates through the second ion exchange membrane 206 into the ammonia nitrogen enrichment zone.
[0093] In some embodiments, the separator 200 includes a bipolar membrane separator, which includes a second cathode 204, a second anode 205, a second ion exchange membrane 206, a first bipolar membrane 202, and a second bipolar membrane 203. The ammonia nitrogen separation method includes:
