Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and more particularly relates to a rapid starting method of a degradable carrier autotrophic denitrification biofilter process. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most areas execute the first level A discharge standard in the Discharge Standard of Pollutants in Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), in which the total nitrogen (TN) concentration is not more than 15 mg / L. Some areas execute local standards, and the total nitrogen concentration is required to be not more than 10 mg / L. In the sewage treatment process, the way of denitrification biological denitrification filter is usually used to remove nitrate nitrogen in water.

[0003] The principle of denitrification biological denitrification is that microorganisms use nitrate nitrogen or nitrite nitrogen in water as an electron acceptor, and use organic matter, hydrogen, sulfur or sulfur-containing compounds as an electron donor to reduce nitrate nitrogen or nitrite nitrogen to nitrogen gas under anoxic conditions through microbial metabolism. Denitrification biological denitrification can be divided into heterotrophic denitrification and autotrophic denitrification according to the growth characteristics of microorganisms, and the corresponding processes are heterotrophic denitrification biofilter and autotrophic denitrification biofilter.

[0004] The heterotrophic denitrification biofilter runs stably, and the reaction rate is relatively fast, but the organic carbon source needs to be continuously added during the operation, which will cause problems such as high sludge yield, high backwashing frequency, and fluctuation of effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD), increasing the water treatment cost;

[0005] In the autotrophic denitrification biofilter, specific inorganic chemoautotrophic Thiobacillus uses sulfite, elemental sulfur, sulfide, etc. as an electron donor, and uses nitrate nitrogen as an electron acceptor to reduce nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas under anoxic or anoxic conditions, and at the same time, oxidizes sulfur to sulfate, completing the autotrophic denitrification process. Compared with heterotrophic denitrification, autotrophic denitrification does not need external carbon source, has less sludge yield, low backwashing frequency, and lower operation cost, but the autotrophic denitrification microorganisms grow slowly, and it is difficult to quickly form a stable microbial membrane for rapid denitrification biological denitrification, which limits the use of autotrophic denitrification biological denitrification.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a rapid starting method of a degradable carrier autotrophic denitrification biofilter process. SUMMARY
