Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biological fillers for sewage treatment, in particular to a high-performance biological filler for advanced sewage treatment and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main purpose of advanced sewage treatment is to remove nitrogen, and at the same time, to remove phosphorus, SS, heavy metals and color. The current denitrification process of sewage treatment plant is mainly through biological nitrification + denitrification to convert nitrogen pollutants in wastewater into nitrogen gas and discharge from the wastewater system. Traditional denitrification is to use heterotrophic microbial flora to reduce nitrate nitrogen by using organic carbon as an electron donor. The reaction process needs to consume carbon source. For the treatment of low-carbon high-nitrogen wastewater, due to the low content of organic matter, additional organic carbon source needs to be added in the traditional denitrification process to meet the demand of electron donor for heterotrophic denitrification. Adding carbon sources such as methanol, sodium acetate, glucose to achieve denitrification, on the one hand, there is a problem of insufficient or excessive carbon source addition affecting the water quality of the effluent and possibly causing secondary pollution, on the other hand, it also increases the operation cost. Sulfur autotrophic denitrification technology is a biological denitrification using reduced sulfur such as S 2- , S2O3 2- and SO3 2- as electron donor and inorganic carbon such as CO3 2- as carbon source. Sulfur autotrophic denitrification has been gradually applied to the purification of low carbon-nitrogen ratio water quality such as groundwater, aquaculture effluent, municipal sewage and industrial wastewater due to its advantages of not needing to add organic carbon source, low operation cost and low sludge yield.

[0003] Currently, sulfur autotrophic denitrification substrates for biological denitrification mainly use sulfur or sulfide. Since both are water-insoluble, in the process of biological denitrification sulfur autotrophic denitrification, one technology is to place sulfur or sulfide in a fixed bed reactor, but using a fixed bed reactor for sulfur autotrophic denitrification inevitably has problems such as easy clogging of the bed, large water head loss and low denitrification efficiency. Another technology is to load sulfur on the surface of the filler used for sewage or surface water purification by high-temperature melting, but this technology needs special melting equipment to complete the coating loading under high-temperature conditions, and the sulfur coating formed after loading is brittle and easy to crack, greatly increasing the operation difficulty and the preparation cost of the sulfur coating. At the same time, due to the limited process conditions of the melting method, many substrates required by the sulfur autotrophic denitrification process cannot be added to the inside of the filler through the production process, which also reduces the denitrification efficiency of the process. At the same time, although the existing fillers have various types, they do not fully consider the various types of nutrient substrates required by sulfur autotrophic microorganisms for metabolism, and lack the function of other demands for sewage treatment (removal of phosphorus, heavy metals, SS, etc.), further limiting the use range and efficiency of the filler.

[0004] In the existing sewage treatment technology, CN113697950A is used by coating the substrate required for sulfur autotrophic denitrification on the carrier for sewage treatment or surface water purification after hydration treatment to form a substrate coating, which brings a great workload to the operators of the sewage treatment facility, and the coating type filler needs to be filled frequently, further increasing the cost and difficulty of project operation. At the same time, the formula lacks various trace elements and inorganic carbon source components required by sulfur autotrophic microorganisms, which greatly limits the microbial activity and reduces the denitrification and phosphorus removal efficiency of the system.

[0005] CN116715357A is combined by combining a plurality of media and sulfur base values in a multi-layer stacking manner to form a composite filler. However, this filler production method will cause the proportion of inert components in the filler to be relatively high, the service life of the filler to be greatly reduced, and the production process to be too complex, and the quality stability of the filler product to be low. At the same time, the filler formula also lacks various trace elements and inorganic carbon source components required by sulfur autotrophic microorganisms, which limits the efficiency of the process.

[0006] CN116813079A is mixed by a chemical binder, and then granulated by a melting method. However, the binder polyvinyl acetate and sodium alginate used in this technology are expensive chemical agents, which will greatly increase the production cost of the filler. And the inorganic carbon source component used in this process is calcium carbonate, which may cause serious filler surface structure phenomenon in the future, and ultimately affect the actual denitrification efficiency of the process.

[0007] In CN116332344A, micro-electrolysis materials (activated carbon and reduced iron powder) and sulfur autotrophic denitrification base values are filled in polyurethane sponge foam for drying treatment and molding. However, the filler has weak physical properties, and the filler is prone to damage and loss in actual production and use, and the proportion of inert components is relatively high, and the consumption period of the substrate required for sulfur autotrophy is very short, which further limits the use range of the filler.

[0008] Therefore, how to solve the defects existing in the prior art is a difficult problem that needs to be solved at present. SUMMARY

[0009] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a high-performance biological filler for advanced sewage treatment, which can realize autotrophic denitrification, chemical phosphorus removal, heavy metal adsorption and passivation, and microbial adsorption and biofilm formation at the same time, and greatly reduces the treatment cost while ensuring the sewage treatment effect.
