Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental engineering technology, and in particular to an aerobic granular sludge wastewater treatment process. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the social economy and the acceleration of urbanization, wastewater treatment has become one of the important issues in the field of environmental protection. Traditional wastewater treatment processes, such as the activated sludge process, have achieved certain results in treating organic pollutants, nitrogen, and phosphorus in wastewater. However, they still face a series of challenges during operation, such as sludge bulking, large sludge production, and low nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in wastewater. In recent years, aerobic granular sludge technology has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of wastewater treatment due to its advantages such as good sludge settling properties, high treatment efficiency, and small system footprint. This technology forms granular sludge through the natural aggregation of aerobic microorganisms, which can maintain stable operation under high load conditions and has a high sludge recycling rate. However, in practical applications, the formation conditions of aerobic granular sludge are relatively complex. How to stably generate granular sludge and maintain its structure and activity during long-term operation remains one of the difficulties in the large-scale promotion of this technology.
[0003] Existing aerobic granular sludge technology still faces several technical bottlenecks in its application. Firstly, the degradation of large organic molecules in wastewater is difficult, affecting the biological activity and formation process of aerobic granular sludge. Secondly, in high-load wastewater treatment, the balance of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus is not precisely controlled, leading to unsatisfactory nitrogen and phosphorus removal effects. Furthermore, the structural stability of sludge particles is poor, making them susceptible to external conditions such as aeration methods and chemical substances, thus impacting the efficiency and operating costs of the entire treatment system. Therefore, developing an aerobic granular sludge wastewater treatment process that can effectively solve these problems is particularly necessary. Summary of the Invention

The phosphorus removal efficiency of Example 1 is significantly better than that of Example 2 (0.2 mg / L) and Example 3 (0.15 mg / L), indicating a superior phosphorus removal effect. The oxidation-reduction potential of Example 1 is 450 mV, higher than that of Example 2 (400 mV) and Example 3 (420 mV), indicating a stronger oxidation capacity during water treatment. The suspended solids removal rate of Example 1 is 99%, significantly higher than that of Example 2 (95%) and Example 3 (97%), demonstrating the best removal effect. The disinfection residue of Example 1 is 0.05 mg / L, lower than that of Example 2 (0.1 mg / L) and Example 3 (0.08 mg / L), ensuring safer water discharge. In summary, Example 1 performs best in several key performance aspects, including effluent turbidity, biological reaction efficiency, sludge settling velocity, and effluent phosphorus content, and remains the optimal implementation scheme.
