Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of environmental engineering, and in particular to a Fenton iron sludge treatment method and device. Background Art

[0002] Fenton iron sludge is an iron-containing sludge produced during the Fenton oxidation process to treat wastewater. The Fenton oxidation process is an advanced oxidation technology that is widely used to treat high-concentration, difficult-to-degrade organic wastewater such as dye wastewater, landfill leachate, and papermaking wastewater. 2+ It reacts with H₂O₂ to generate highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals, which oxidize and decompose organic pollutants in the wastewater. During the treatment process, a large amount of iron-containing sludge, known as Fenton iron sludge, is produced. This iron sludge contains a large amount of organic matter, parasitic pathogens, heavy metals, and other impurities. Furthermore, Fenton iron sludge has poor dehydration properties, resulting in a high moisture content after dehydration. If Fenton iron sludge is not properly treated and is directly discharged into the environment, it will occupy a large amount of land, damage soil structure, contaminate water resources, and cause serious environmental pollution problems. Furthermore, if heavy metals in the iron sludge are transferred to the soil or groundwater with landfill leachate, they can cause secondary pollution.

[0003] In the relevant technologies, the main treatment methods for Fenton iron sludge and other sludges include acid dissolution and bioleaching. However, the dehydration efficiency of Fenton iron sludge by existing treatment methods still needs to be further improved. At the same time, there are problems such as the need to add additional acid, the generation of a large amount of strongly acidic water, easy environmental pollution, the inability to recycle iron elements, and high costs.

[0004] Specifically, the acid dissolution method requires the use of a large amount of acid, which has the problems of high cost and easy environmental pollution. For example, patent document CN 110877956A discloses a device and method for treating Fenton iron sludge, in which microorganisms containing iron-reducing bacteria are used to reduce the trivalent iron in the Fenton iron sludge to divalent iron, and then the mixed solution containing divalent iron produced after the reaction is passed into an acid dissolution tank. Acid is added to the acid dissolution tank 4, and then the mixture is allowed to settle. The supernatant containing divalent iron ions is returned to the Fenton reactor. In this way, under acidic conditions, the divalent iron ions are not easily oxidized to trivalent iron, which is conducive to starting the Fenton reaction, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the Fenton iron sludge. This treatment method requires additional acid, and when the supernatant containing divalent iron ions is refluxed to the Fenton reactor, the biodegradable COD is also refluxed, increasing the Fenton treatment load.

[0005] In addition, bioleaching is a method of using the life activities of acidophilic thiobacillus bacteria to oxidize ferrous ions and reduced sulfur into high-valent states, in which H +Biotechnology that creates a highly oxidizing environment. This technology utilizes Acidithiobacillus bacteria to treat sludge, improving its dewatering properties and potentially eliminating malodorous substances and killing or inhibiting pathogens. However, current bioleaching processes for sludge treatment produce highly acidic water, which is corrosive, difficult to dispose of, and prone to environmental pollution. For example, patent document CN 106186595A discloses a process for treating sludge using an integrated bioleaching apparatus. The filtrate produced by the bioleaching process is highly acidic, corrosive, and difficult to dispose of. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below. The specific embodiments listed below are only for describing the principles and features of the present invention. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The present invention provides a Fenton iron sludge a treatment method, see Figure 1The method comprises the following steps: allowing Fenton iron sludge a to enter an iron reduction unit (or iron reduction treatment system) 1, and performing reduction treatment under the action of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, thereby reducing the trivalent iron in the Fenton iron sludge a to divalent iron to obtain reduced iron sludge; allowing at least part of the reduced iron sludge (hereinafter referred to as the first reduced iron sludge b1 that enters the bioleaching unit) to enter a bioleaching unit (or sludge bioleaching system) 2, and performing bioleaching treatment under the action of specific microorganisms to obtain a first mixed liquid c; dehydrating the first mixed liquid c to obtain an aqueous phase d and a dehydrated sludge f; and returning the aqueous phase d to the bioleaching unit 2 to participate in the bioleaching treatment.

[0025] In this way, in the iron reduction unit 1, the trivalent iron in the Fenton iron sludge a is reduced to divalent iron by the dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, so that the iron element in the reduced iron sludge is mainly divalent iron. After the reduced iron sludge enters the bioleaching unit 2, it is subjected to bioleaching treatment under the action of specific microorganisms. In this process, the divalent iron in the reduced iron sludge is dissolved into an ionic state by the strong acidic solution produced by the bioleaching reaction in the bioleaching unit 2. The ionic divalent iron can be used as a nutrient substrate for the bioleaching reaction. The iron element in the Fenton iron sludge a can be utilized as a resource while using bioleaching to dehydrate, sterilize and deodorize the sludge, thereby improving the bioleaching efficiency and reducing the reaction cost of bioleaching.

[0026] In addition, the aqueous phase d produced after the first mixed liquid c is dehydrated is a strongly acidic water body (or strongly acidic water phase). After the strongly acidic water body is recovered and mixed with part of the above-mentioned reduced iron mud, it can promote the dissolution of the divalent iron produced by the iron reduction unit 1 into an ionic state, and then participate in the bioleaching reaction, thereby realizing the recycling of the strongly acidic water body, avoiding the additional addition of chemical agents such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and acetic acid, and avoiding the introduction of other impurities, reducing the treatment cost of the strongly acidic water body and the cost of the bioleaching reaction, and improving the efficiency of the bioleaching reaction.

[0027] In some embodiments, the iron reduction unit 1 may include a microbial fuel cell including a bioanode chamber, a biocathode chamber, and a proton exchange membrane disposed between the bioanode chamber and the biocathode chamber.

[0028] Specifically, the bioanode chamber is provided with a bioanode material inoculated with dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, and oxygen exists in the biocathode chamber. The biocathode chamber may include cathode materials such as graphite fiber brushes and / or carbon felt.

[0029] Specifically, the dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria may include one or more of Shewanella, Geobacter, and Clostridium.

[0030] In some embodiments, a gas containing oxygen may exist in the biocathode chamber. Specifically, the gas containing oxygen may be air. That is, air may exist in the biocathode chamber, so that oxygen exists in the biocathode chamber.

[0031] Specifically, Fenton iron mud a enters the above-mentioned biological anode chamber for reduction treatment. During the reduction treatment process, the organic matter adsorbed by the Fenton iron mud in the biological anode chamber is oxidized and degraded, and at the same time, trivalent iron Fe(III) is reduced to divalent iron Fe(II) under the action of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria. The oxygen in the biological cathode chamber is reduced as an electron acceptor, and the H generated in the biological anode chamber is reduced. + It passes through the proton exchange membrane to the cathode chamber and reacts with the reduced oxygen to produce water.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, conventional proton exchange membranes in the art may be used.

[0033] Specifically, the Fenton iron mud a enters the above-mentioned bioanode chamber for reduction treatment, and the reduction treatment time can be 6 to 12 hours, for example, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours or a range consisting of any two thereof.

[0034] In other embodiments, the iron reduction unit 1 may be a microbial iron reduction reactor, and the Fenton iron sludge a enters the iron reduction reactor for reduction treatment.

[0035] Specifically, when the iron reduction reactor is used for reduction treatment, the reduction treatment temperature (reaction temperature in the iron reduction unit 1) can be 25-35°C, for example, 25°C, 27°C, 29°C, 31°C, 33°C, 35°C or a range consisting of any two thereof. During the reduction treatment, the pH of Fenton iron mud a can be 6.5-7.5, for example, 6.5, 6.7, 6.9, 7.1, 7.3, 7.5 or a range consisting of any two thereof. The residence time of Fenton iron mud a can be 12-24h, for example, 12h, 14h, 16h, 18h, 20h, 22h, 24h or a range consisting of any two thereof. In this way, the trivalent iron in Fenton iron mud a is reduced to divalent iron, providing nutrition for specific microorganisms in the bioleaching system.

[0036] In a specific implementation, the pH of the Fenton iron mud a maintained during the reduction treatment can be 6.5-7.5. The pH of the Fenton iron mud a in the iron reduction unit 1 can be adjusted by alkali, which can include inorganic alkali, such as sodium hydroxide.

[0037] In some embodiments, the specific microorganisms may include Acidithiobacillus, which may include Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and / or Thiobacillus thiooxidans.

[0038] In a specific implementation, before the bioleaching treatment, the bacterial solution containing the above-mentioned specific microorganisms can be inoculated into the bioleaching unit 2, and the bioleaching unit 2 is added with sludge g for inoculation of specific microorganisms. The bacterial solution containing specific microorganisms can be inoculated into the sludge g in the bioleaching unit 2, and the bacterial cell density in the bacterial solution can be 10 7 ~10 8 / mL (for example, the bacterial density can be 10 8 / mL), and in terms of volume ratio, the volume of the bacterial liquid can account for 5% to 20% of the sum of the volume of the bacterial liquid and the volume of the sludge g in the bioleaching unit 2 that can be used for inoculation of specific microorganisms, for example, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or a range consisting of any two thereof.

[0039] The sludge g in the bioleaching unit 2 that can be used for inoculation of specific microorganisms can be ordinary municipal sludge.

[0040] Specifically, the bioleaching unit 2 may be a conventional bioleaching reactor in the art, and is not particularly limited thereto.

[0041] In some embodiments, the temperature of the bioleaching treatment (or the temperature of the bioleaching reaction) can be 25°C to 35°C, for example, 25°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 31°C, 33°C, 35°C or a range consisting of any two thereof.

[0042] In some embodiments, during the bioleaching process, the residence time of the first reduced iron sludge b1 entering the bioleaching unit 2 may be 40 to 60 hours, such as 40 hours, 45 hours, 50 hours, 55 hours, 60 hours, or any two thereof.

[0043] In addition, the pH of the first mixed liquid c may be in the range of 2 to 3, for example, 2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3, or any two thereof.

[0044] In addition, the dissolved oxygen (DO) of the first mixed liquid c in the bioleaching unit 2 may be 3 to 6 mg / L, for example, 3 mg / L, 4 mg / L, 5 mg / L, 6 mg / L, or any two thereof.

[0045] In addition, during the bioleaching process, the reduced iron sludge entering the bioleaching unit 2 may be aerated by the air aerator 6 connected to the bioleaching unit 2 .

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the nutrients (or nutrient substrates) for the specific microorganisms in the bioleaching reaction can be obtained from the Fenton iron mud a or can be added additionally.

[0047] In some embodiments, the nutrient substrate for specific microorganisms may include an iron source and / or a sulfur source. The iron source may be FeSO4 and / or FeCl2, and the sulfur source may be S and / or Na2S2O3.

[0048] As described above, the ferrous iron in the reduced iron sludge entering bioleaching unit 2 is dissolved into ionic ferrous iron in a strongly acidic environment. This ionic ferrous iron serves as a nutrient substrate for specific microorganisms in the bioleaching reaction, simultaneously dehydrating, sterilizing, and deodorizing the sludge and achieving resource utilization of the Fenton iron sludge (a), thereby reducing bioleaching reaction costs. Generally, the reduced iron sludge entering bioleaching unit 2 provides a source of ferrous iron, such as FeSO4 and / or FeCl2, which serves as a nutrient for specific microorganisms.

[0049] In the above-mentioned treatment process of Fenton iron mud, the Fenton iron mud is first reduced by dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria and then enters the bioleaching unit 2 for bioleaching treatment, thereby improving the dewatering performance of the Fenton iron mud.

[0050] Specifically, the obtained first mixed liquid c can be dehydrated by a dehydration unit (or sludge solid-liquid separation system) 3. The dehydration unit 3 can be a filter press, specifically a plate filter press and / or a belt filter press. After dehydration, the obtained filtrate is the above-mentioned aqueous phase d.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, a conventional plate filter press (plate and frame filter press) and / or belt filter press in the art may be used for dehydration treatment.

[0052] In some embodiments, the process of returning the aqueous phase d to the bioleaching unit 2 to participate in the bioleaching treatment may include: mixing the aqueous phase d with a portion of the reduced iron sludge (second reduced iron sludge b2) to obtain a second mixed liquid e; and allowing the second mixed liquid e to enter the bioleaching unit 2 to participate in the bioleaching treatment.

[0053] Specifically, the aqueous phase d obtained after dehydration of the first mixed liquid c is a strongly acidic water body, and the strongly acidic water body enters the bypass ferrous dissolution unit (or bypass ferrous dissolution system) 4 through the reflux unit (or sludge filtrate reflux system) 5, and part of the reduced iron mud (second reduced iron mud b2) enters the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4, and the strongly acidic water body entering the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 and the reduced iron mud (i.e., the second reduced iron mud b2) entering the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 are mixed to form a second mixed liquid e, and then the second mixed liquid e enters the bioleaching unit 2 to participate in the bioleaching reaction. In the bypass ferrous iron dissolution unit 4, the aqueous phase d acts as a strongly acidic water body, providing an acidic environment that promotes the dissolution of the ferrous iron in the second reduced iron sludge b2 into ionic ferrous iron. The resulting second mixed liquid e is also strongly acidic. After entering the bioleaching unit 2, the second mixed liquid e provides a strongly acidic environment for the reaction system in the bioleaching unit 2, promoting the dissolution of the ferrous iron in the first reduced iron sludge b1 entering the bioleaching unit 2 into ionic ferrous iron. Thus, in the bioleaching unit 2, the ferrous iron in the reduced sludge output from the iron reduction unit is promoted to dissolve into ionic ferrous iron, providing nutrition for the specific microorganisms in the bioleaching unit 2. Through the above process, the aqueous phase d is utilized, participating in the bioleaching reaction in the bioleaching unit 2, and improving the efficiency of the bioleaching reaction.

[0054] Specifically, the reflux unit 5 is connected between the dehydration unit 3 and the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4, and is used to connect the dehydration unit 3 and the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4, so that the water phase d produced by the dehydration unit 3 can be refluxed into the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 through the reflux unit 5. The reflux unit 5 can be a connecting structure such as a pipeline connecting the dehydration unit 3 and the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4.

[0055] In some embodiments, the process of mixing the aqueous phase d and the second reduced iron sludge b2 can be performed at room temperature, that is, the temperature of the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 can be room temperature.

[0056] The present invention also provides a Fenton iron sludge a disposal device, comprising:

[0057] The iron reduction unit 1, i.e., for performing reduction treatment, may include a first reduced iron sludge outlet and a second reduced iron sludge outlet;

[0058] The bioleaching unit 2 is used for bioleaching treatment and may include a first reduced iron mud inlet, a first mixed liquid outlet, and a second mixed liquid inlet, wherein the first reduced iron mud inlet is connected to the first reduced iron mud outlet of the iron reduction unit 1;

[0059] The dehydration unit 3 is used for dehydration treatment and may include a first mixed liquid inlet and a water phase outlet, wherein the first mixed liquid inlet is connected to the first mixed liquid outlet of the bioleaching unit 2;

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the dehydration unit 3 may further include a dehydrated sludge outlet for outputting the dehydrated sludge f;

[0061] The bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 may include a second reduced iron mud inlet, an aqueous phase inlet, and a second mixed liquid outlet. The second reduced iron mud inlet is connected to the second reduced iron mud outlet of the iron reduction unit 1, the aqueous phase inlet is connected to the aqueous phase outlet of the dehydration unit 3, and the second mixed liquid outlet is connected to the second mixed liquid inlet of the bioleaching unit 2.

[0062] Specifically, the iron reduction unit 1 may include a microbial fuel cell and / or an iron reduction reactor, and the Fenton iron sludge device a may further include an air aerator 6 connected to the bioleaching unit.

[0063] In addition, the iron reduction unit may also include a Fenton iron sludge inlet.

[0064] In a specific implementation, Fenton iron mud a enters the iron reduction unit 1 from the Fenton iron mud inlet of the iron reduction unit 1, and is reduced in the iron reduction unit 1 to obtain reduced iron mud. The first reduced iron mud b1 is output from the first reduced iron mud outlet of the iron reduction unit 1, enters the bioleaching unit 2 through the first reduced iron mud inlet of the bioleaching unit 2, and obtains the first mixed liquid c after the first reduced iron mud b1 is bioleached in the bioleaching unit 2. The first mixed liquid c is output through the first mixed liquid outlet of the bioleaching unit 2, enters the dehydration unit 3 through the first mixed liquid inlet of the dehydration unit 3, and is dehydrated in the dehydration unit 3. After treatment, an aqueous phase d and a dewatered sludge f are obtained. The aqueous phase d is output through the aqueous phase outlet of the dehydration unit 3, passes through the reflux unit 5, and enters the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 through the aqueous phase inlet of the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4. At the same time, the second reduced iron mud b2 in the iron reduction unit 1 enters the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 through the second reduced iron mud outlet of the iron reduction unit 1 and is mixed with the aqueous phase d in the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4 to obtain a second mixed liquid e. The second mixed liquid e leaves through the second mixed liquid outlet of the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4, enters the bioleaching unit 2 through the second mixed liquid inlet of the bioleaching unit 2, and participates in the bioleaching treatment.

[0065] During the above treatment process, the aqueous phase produced by the Fenton iron sludge a after passing through the dehydration unit 3 is refluxed to the bypass ferrous dissolution unit 4, promoting the existence of divalent iron in a free state. This process can not only recycle the strongly acidic aqueous phase d, but also avoid the additional addition of chemical agents such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and acetic acid. In addition, the iron reduction unit 1 reduces the trivalent iron in the Fenton iron sludge a to divalent iron, and uses the dissolved divalent iron as a specific microbial energy substrate for the sludge bioleaching unit 2, thereby realizing the resource utilization of Fenton sludge and reducing the energy substrate cost of sludge bioleaching.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the dewatered sludge f is discharged through the dewatered sludge outlet of the dehydration unit 3, it can be post-processed according to conventional methods in the art, such as incineration, land utilization, composting, etc.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
