Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a device for phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery from excess sludge. Background Art

[0002] At present, to effectively recover phosphorus from sludge, it is necessary to release phosphorus in the sludge (solid phase) into the liquid phase as much as possible. The efficient release of phosphorus is a key step in phosphorus recovery. The existing phosphorus release technologies mainly include:

[0003] ① Physical cracking method: By means of hydrothermal hydrolysis, ultrasonic waves, mechanical ball milling, etc., the microbial cells in the sludge are broken, and the phosphorus-containing substances inside and outside the cells are released into the liquid phase. Sludge hydrothermal hydrolysis needs to be carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions (150 - 190 °C, 0.7 - 2.6 MPa), and is usually used as a pretreatment process in combination with the anaerobic digestion process. The equipment is complex, the operation and maintenance are difficult, the investment and energy consumption are high, and the treatment of the malodorous gas generated is difficult. At present, there are only a few engineering application cases; although the ultrasonic cracking has high efficiency, short reaction time (10 - 60 min), and simple equipment, due to the too high power consumption, it is mostly in the laboratory research stage at present, and the actual engineering application needs to overcome the defect of too high power consumption.

[0004] ② Chemical cracking method: Adding chemical agents such as acids, alkalis, H 2 O 2 ₂, ozone, etc. to the excess sludge to destroy the microbial cell structure and release the phosphorus-containing substances inside and outside the cells into the liquid phase. The acid-base cracking method has the characteristics of simple process and mature technology, but the existing full-scale acid-base cracking of sludge or methods such as H 2 O 2 ₂, ozone oxidation, etc. have high chemical consumption costs and are still difficult to realize engineering application.

[0005] ③ Biological phosphorus release method: Phosphorus release is carried out through anaerobic digestion or enzyme-promoted biological enhanced phosphorus release. The enzyme-promoted biological enhanced phosphorus release technology has high chemical agent costs and is currently in the laboratory research stage; anaerobic digestion is the most widely used sludge disposal technology in engineering applications at present, with the advantages of mature technology and low operating costs, but this method has a slow phosphorus release rate, a long required time (20 - 30 days of anaerobic digestion of sludge is required), a large volume of the reaction device, high construction investment. If it is necessary to increase the anaerobic phosphorus release rate and shorten the anaerobic phosphorus release time, a sufficient amount of carbon source is required, while the available carbon source in the excess sludge discharged from the biochemical system has basically been consumed in the front-end biochemical system, and a large amount of carbon source needs to be added externally to meet the requirements.

[0006] ④Sludge incineration - wet leaching process: The sludge is dehydrated, dried and then incinerated into ash, and then phosphorus is leached with acid and alkali. Phosphorus in the sludge incineration ash mainly exists in the form of combination with metals such as Ca, Mg, Fe, Al in the ash, which cannot be absorbed and utilized by plants. Moreover, heavy metal substances in the sludge still remain in the ash after incineration. It is also necessary to separate phosphorus from heavy metals in the sludge ash and convert phosphorus into a form that plants can use. The process flow is complex and the cost of phosphorus recovery is high.

[0007] ⑤Combined cracking method: Combined technologies such as hydrothermal hydrolysis - acid leaching, acidification - microwave radiation, ultrasonic - ozone, ultrasonic - alkali hydrolysis are used to destroy the microbial cell structure in the sludge, and the phosphorus - containing substances are released into the liquid phase. Compared with single technologies, the combined technologies can combine the advantages of various technologies, which is the development trend of the technology in this field.

[0008] In the existing sludge phosphorus release methods, a part of the phosphorus released into the liquid phase by physical cracking method, chemical cracking method and some combined cracking processes exists in the form of organic phosphorus - containing compounds (organic phosphorus). Organic phosphorus - containing compounds are difficult to remove by coagulation precipitation method and cannot recover phosphorus by crystallization precipitation method. If it is necessary to improve the recovery rate of phosphorus resources in the sludge, it is also necessary to further increase the content of orthophosphate in the liquid phase of the released phosphorus from the excess sludge.

[0009] Due to the high price or complex system of the existing sludge phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery technologies and equipment, the sludge from the sewage treatment plant after concentration and dewatering treatment is mostly disposed of by direct landfill or incineration, and the phosphorus in the sludge is not recycled resourcefully.

[0045] Applying the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] 1. The device for releasing phosphorus from excess sludge and recovering phosphorus of the present invention includes a phosphorus release mechanism. The phosphorus release mechanism includes a sludge thickening unit, a sludge cracking assembly, and a sludge dewatering unit. The sludge thickening unit is provided with an excess sludge inlet, a thickened sludge discharge port, and a supernatant discharge port; the sludge cracking assembly includes a sludge cracking unit and a pH value adjustment unit connected in series, and the overall structure is concise; the present invention performs alkali cracking on 10% - 20% of the thickened sludge, and then uses the COD (carbon source) released by its cracking as the carbon source for polyphosphorus microorganisms (polyphosphorus bacteria) in the total amount of excess sludge entering the sludge thickening unit. Anaerobic phosphorus release occurs in the anaerobic environment of the sludge thickening unit without adding an external carbon source. Through the new scheme of releasing phosphorus by alkali hydrolysis of a small amount of thickened sludge + anaerobic biological phosphorus release of the total amount of excess sludge, low-cost and high-efficiency phosphorus release of the total amount of excess sludge is achieved.

[0047] 2. The sludge thickening unit in the present invention is a gravity thickening tank, which adopts a conventional gravity thickening tank in the prior art. When recovering phosphorus from the excess sludge of an existing sewage treatment plant, only a sludge cracking assembly (only cracking 10% - 20% of the total amount of thickened sludge), a phosphorus recovery mechanism, and a supporting control system need to be added, and the pipelines are correspondingly transformed to economically and conveniently achieve high-efficiency phosphorus release of sludge and high-efficiency recovery of phosphorus resources in the existing sewage treatment plant.

[0048] 3. In the present invention, the sludge cracking unit includes a first housing, a first stirring assembly, a first sludge inlet pipe, and a first sludge outlet pipe. The structure is concise, and the equipment investment and operating costs (chemical consumption, power consumption) of the sludge cracking unit are only 10% - 20% of those of the existing full-scale sludge alkali hydrolysis phosphorus release process. The occupied area of the equipment can also be saved; the addition of COD (carbon source) in the cracked sludge enables the anaerobic biological phosphorus release time of the excess sludge in the gravity thickening tank to be shortened to 6 hours, which is only 1 / 80 of the time required for the traditional sludge anaerobic digestion process (anaerobic digestion time: 20 - 30 days), greatly reducing the equipment investment and operating costs for sludge phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery.

[0049] 4. In the present invention, the phosphorus recovery mechanism is composed of an outer housing, a middle housing, and an inner housing nested with each other, forming a circulating flow channel formed by a combination of a first water rising channel, a water falling channel, and a second water rising channel. The push-flow stirring assembly and the folded plate eddy current assembly are arranged from top to bottom in the first water rising channel, and the modular eddy current assembly is arranged in the water falling channel, constituting a mechanical stirring mixing crystallization + hydraulic eddy current crystallization composite system. Due to its special structure, hydraulic classification is achieved during operation, enabling the solution to fully mix the materials and the crystal particles to be fluidized. Self-induced crystallization can be realized without adding external crystal seeds, and the particle size of the crystal particles is larger than that of traditional stirring crystallization; the first water rising channel and the water falling channel form a circulating flow channel that can automatically sort the crystal particles. Larger-sized and heavier particles will automatically break away from the circulating water flow under the action of gravity and be discharged into the crystal aggregation area, while smaller-sized and lighter crystal particles continue to crystallize in the water circulation channel. The crystal particles collected in the crystal aggregation area have a larger particle size and higher purity than those of traditional stirring crystallization, achieving efficient phosphorus recovery. The inclined plate assembly is arranged in the second water rising channel, which can perform secondary separation on the fine crystal particles entrained in the water flow, further improving the recovery efficiency of the phosphorus crystal particles.

[0085] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment specifically is:

[0086] The phosphorus-rich excess sludge (Q_excess, water content 99.2%) discharged from the sewage treatment biochemical system is mixed with the cracked sludge (Q_cracked) discharged from the sludge cracking unit 2 through the excess sludge transfer pipeline 12 and then enters the sludge thickening unit 1. The phosphorus-rich excess sludge undergoes sludge thickening in the sludge thickening unit 1 under the action of the carbon source provided by the cracked sludge and simultaneously undergoes anaerobic biological phosphorus release, releasing the phosphorus in the solid phase into the liquid phase. The low-phosphorus sludge after thickening and biological phosphorus release is discharged from the bottom of the gravity thickening tank. A part of the thickened sludge (Q_cracked) enters the sludge cracking unit 2.1 in the sludge cracking assembly 2 through the first pipeline 4 for sludge cracking. After cracking, the sludge (Q_cracked) enters the pH adjustment unit 2.2 for pH adjustment and then all returns to the sludge thickening unit 1; another part of the thickened sludge (Q_dewatering) is discharged into the sludge dewatering unit 3 through the second pipeline 5 for dewatering treatment. In this embodiment, the flow rate or mass ratio of the total amount of sludge entering the sludge cracking unit to the thickened sludge is Q_cracked:(Q_cracked + Q_dewatering)=0.2; the high-concentration phosphorus-containing supernatant generated by the sludge thickening unit 1 is discharged into the phosphorus recovery mechanism 8 through the fifth pipeline 9 for phosphorus recovery; the sludge dewatering liquid generated by the sludge dewatering unit is mixed with the supernatant of the sludge thickening unit through the sixth pipeline 11 and then discharged into the phosphorus recovery mechanism 8 for phosphorus recovery. The dried sludge is transported out for disposal through the dried sludge conveyor 10; the low-phosphorus water discharged from the phosphorus recovery mechanism returns to the biochemical pool at the front end of the sewage treatment system through the seventh pipeline 13.

[0087] In this embodiment, after the sludge is cracked with alkali, substances such as COD (carbon source), ammonia nitrogen, organic nitrogen, orthophosphate, and organic phosphorus are released into the aqueous phase and converted into cracked sludge (Q_cracked). The test data of the main components before sludge thickening (Q_excess) and after cracking (Q_cracked) are shown in Table 1. The mass of the cracked sludge (Q_cracked) is equal to the sum of the mass of the thickened sludge (Q_cracked) and the masses of the alkali and acid agents added during the cracking process. The cracked sludge (Q_cracked) is discharged into the inlet of the gravity thickening tank. The sludge cracking step in this embodiment simultaneously achieves five technical effects:

[0088] ① It realizes sludge cracking and phosphorus release for the residual phosphorus in the sludge, releases orthophosphate from the solid phase to the liquid phase, creating conditions for the subsequent phosphorus recovery mechanism to recover phosphorus;

[0089] ② The high-concentration COD (carbon source) released by sludge cracking returns to the sludge thickening tank and serves as the carbon source for anaerobic biological phosphorus release of excess sludge, eliminating the need for external carbon sources, achieving "treating waste with waste", and saving the cost of sludge phosphorus release;

[0090] ③ Sludge cracking releases ammonia nitrogen, reducing the dosage of ammonium salts (such as ammonium chloride) added by the subsequent phosphorus recovery mechanism to recover struvite, further saving the cost of phosphorus recovery;

[0091] ④ After the sludge is cracked, its dewatering performance can be improved, the chemical dosage for sludge dewatering in the subsequent sludge dewatering unit can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the treatment efficiency of the subsequent sludge dewatering unit and reducing the cost of sludge dewatering;

[0092] ⑤ The cracked sludge is adjusted to a pH of 9 - 9.5 by adding acid in the pH adjustment unit 2.2. After being mixed with the surplus sludge (Q_surplus), in this solution, the pH of the mixed sludge entering the sludge thickening tank can be between 8 - 8.5, forming a suitable anaerobic biological phosphorus release pH condition in the sludge thickening tank.

[0093] Table 1 Main components of the sludge before and after thickening

[0094]

[0095] Note: The concentration of the sludge before thickening in the table (Q_surplus, referring to the surplus sludge entering the sludge thickening unit through the surplus sludge conveying pipeline 12) MLSS = 8 g / L, and the concentration of the sludge after cracking (Q_cracked) after sludge thickening is MLSS = 20 g / L. In this embodiment, the volume of the sludge after cracking (Q_cracked) after sludge thickening is only about 8% of the volume of the surplus sludge Q_surplus entering the sludge thickening tank through pipeline 12. The component data of the sludge are all the data measured by centrifuging the sludge and taking the supernatant.

[0096] The surplus sludge before thickening (Q_surplus) and the cracked sludge (Q_cracked) are mixed before entering the sludge thickening unit 1. Compared with the conventional gravity thickening process, in this embodiment, in the sludge thickening unit 1, in addition to realizing the physical thickening effect of the sludge, the following technical effects are also achieved:

[0097] ① The surplus sludge (Q_surplus) and the cracked sludge (Q_cracked) are mixed before entering the sludge thickening unit. The mixing process and the pipeline transportation process can enable the microorganisms in the surplus sludge (Q_surplus) to quickly adsorb the organic components in the cracked sludge (Q_cracked), creating conditions for the microorganisms to further absorb the adsorbed organic matter (carbon source) into the microbial cells in the thickening tank, overcoming the defect of low mass transfer and absorption efficiency between the organic matter and the microbial cells due to small fluid disturbance in the sludge thickening tank, and enabling more organic components in the cracked sludge to enter the microbial cells in the surplus sludge to achieve anaerobic phosphorus release;

[0098] ② The phosphorus-rich microorganisms (such as polyphosphate-accumulating organisms) in the surplus sludge release the phosphorus in the cells into the water (in the form of orthophosphate, PO 4 3- ) under the action of the COD (carbon source) provided by the cracked sludge under anaerobic conditions in the sludge thickening unit 1, realizing anaerobic biological phosphorus release of all surplus sludge. The orthophosphate (PO 4 3-The concentration of phosphorus can reach 50-60 mg / L, which creates conditions for subsequent phosphorus recovery.

[0099] ③ The organic nitrogen and organic phosphorus contained in the sludge are converted into ammonia nitrogen and orthophosphate (PO 4 3- ), the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen can save the dosage of ammonia nitrogen reagents for the subsequent phosphorus recovery mechanism, and the conversion of organic phosphorus into orthophosphate can further improve the phosphorus recovery efficiency (organic phosphorus cannot be recovered through struvite crystallization). The main component test data before sludge concentration, the water inlet of the sludge concentration unit, and the supernatant of the effluent of the sludge concentration unit are shown in Table 2. The effect of this embodiment on the release of phosphorus from sludge is significant, and most of the phosphorus exists in the form of orthophosphate, which can be recovered by the subsequent phosphorus recovery mechanism 8.

[0100] Table 2 Main components of sludge before thickening, at the inlet of the sludge thickening tank, and at the effluent of the sludge thickening tank

[0101]

[0102] Note: The sludge concentration MLSS in the table before sludge concentration (Qresidual, refers to the residual sludge entering the sludge concentration unit from the residual sludge conveying pipeline 12) is 8g / L. The data before sludge concentration is the data measured by centrifuging the sludge and taking the supernatant; the sludge concentration of the mixed liquor at the inlet of the sludge concentration tank is about 8.8g / L. In this embodiment, the volume of the sludge after concentration is 40% of the volume of the sludge before concentration (Qresidual), the concentrated sludge (Qcracked) entering the cracking unit accounts for 20% of the total volume of the concentrated sludge (Qcracked + Qdewatered), the reagent NaOH added to the sludge cracking unit is added in solid form, the density of the sludge after cracking is similar to that of the sludge before cracking (Qcracked), and the volume of the sludge after cracking (Qcracked) accounts for 8% of the volume of the sludge before concentration (Qresidual); the composition of the mixed liquor at the inlet of the sludge concentration tank is measured by taking the supernatant obtained by centrifuging the mixed liquor.

[0103] The phosphorus recovery mechanism 8 described in this embodiment uses magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals (struvite) to recover phosphorus in the liquid phase. The wastewater containing orthophosphate from the sludge concentration unit 1 and the sludge dehydration unit 3 is mixed with the reagent (the reagent is magnesium chloride, ammonium chloride, and sodium hydroxide) in the pipeline mixer H and then enters the phosphorus recovery mechanism 8. The dosage of magnesium chloride and ammonium chloride reagents is based on Mg:NH 4 + : P=1.3:1.3:1 (molar ratio), the pH of the crystallization reaction is controlled at 9.5-10, the third stirring blade rotates to generate an upward thrust, stirring and mixing the liquid and suspended particles, so that the liquid mixture circulates.

[0104] The orthophosphate in the influent water and the crystal-forming ions (magnesium ions, ammonium ions) in the reagent are contacted and mixed under the mechanical stirring condition of the third stirring blade to form tiny magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals (crystal nuclei). The tiny crystals circulate in the first water flow ascending channel A and the water flow descending channel B along with the water flow. When passing through the folded plate vortex component 8.9 and the modular vortex component 8.10, the crystal-forming ions in the wastewater are further contacted and mixed under the action of a large number of micro-vortices generated by the vortex component, and the tiny crystal particles are fluidized. The tiny crystals and the crystal nuclei and the crystal-forming ions fully collide and contact with each other under the action of the micro-vortices. , secondary nucleation occurs, and self-induced crystallization is achieved without the need for external seed crystals. The particle size of the crystal particles gradually increases. When the particle size and mass of the crystal particles increase to a certain extent, under the action of gravity, the large-particle crystals gradually automatically detach from the circulating water flow and flow into the crystal gathering area D. After the crystallization is completed, the water flow enters the annular solid-liquid separation area. The fine crystal particles entrained in the water flow are further separated from the solid and liquid under the action of gravity and the inclined plate assembly. After the crystal particles are precipitated, they slide to the crystal gathering area D under the action of gravity. The supernatant after precipitation is collected upward to the water collection tank 8.4 and discharged from the phosphorus recovery mechanism 8 through the drain pipe 8.6. The struvite crystals accumulated in the crystal gathering area D are regularly discharged to the dehydration and separation equipment set separately through the discharge port 8.7. In this embodiment, the recovery rate of orthophosphate by the phosphorus recovery mechanism is greater than 80%, and the recovered product is struvite.

[0105] The low-phosphorus liquid discharged from the phosphorus recovery mechanism is returned to the biochemical pool at the front end of the sewage treatment system through the seventh pipeline 13.

[0106] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0107] 1. Existing sludge decomposition and phosphorus release technologies all use the method of decomposing the entire amount of excess sludge. In this embodiment, only 10% to 20% of the concentrated sludge needs to be decomposed by adding alkali, and the COD (carbon source) released by the decomposition is used as the carbon source for the polyphosphate microorganisms (polyphosphate bacteria) in the entire amount of excess sludge entering the thickening tank. Anaerobic phosphorus release occurs in the anaerobic environment of the sludge thickening tank without the need for an external carbon source. The new scheme of alkaline phosphorus release of a small amount of concentrated sludge + anaerobic biological phosphorus release of the entire amount of excess sludge achieves low-cost and efficient phosphorus release from the entire amount of excess sludge. In this embodiment, the equipment investment and operating costs (drug consumption, electricity consumption) of the sludge breakdown unit are only equivalent to 10% to 20% of the existing full-volume sludge alkaline phosphorus decomposition process, and the equipment footprint can also be saved; the addition of carbon source to the cracked sludge shortens the anaerobic biological phosphorus release time of the sludge in the gravity thickening tank to 6 hours, which is only 1 / 80 of the time required for the traditional sludge anaerobic digestion process (anaerobic digestion time 20 to 30 days), greatly reducing the equipment investment and operating costs of sludge phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery.

[0108] 2. Some of the phosphorus and nitrogen elements released into the liquid phase by existing physical dephosphorization (ultrasound, thermal hydrolysis, mechanical ball milling) and chemical dephosphorization (acid, alkali) technologies exist in the form of organic phosphorus and organic nitrogen, and organic phosphorus is difficult to recycle. In this embodiment, the sludge after chemical dephosphorization is returned to the concentration tank. The organic phosphorus and organic nitrogen released during the dephosphorization process are converted into orthophosphate and ammonia nitrogen that can be recovered by the subsequent phosphorus recovery unit under the action of the anaerobic environment of the concentration tank and anaerobic bacteria in the remaining sludge, which can further improve the phosphorus recovery rate and reduce the cost of adding ammonia nitrogen to the phosphorus recovery unit.

[0109] 3. At present, most of the domestic urban sewage treatment plants adopt the technical route of sludge gravity concentration + sludge dewatering for the treatment of residual sludge, and have built sludge concentration tanks and sludge dewatering facilities. In this embodiment, the gravity concentration tank adopts the existing conventional gravity concentration tank. When it is necessary to recover phosphorus from the residual sludge of the existing sewage treatment plant, it is only necessary to add a sludge breaking component (only 10% to 20% of the total concentrated sludge needs to be broken, and there is no need to break the entire amount of concentrated sludge), a sludge phosphorus recovery device, and a control system. The corresponding modification of the pipeline can realize the economical and convenient recovery of sludge phosphorus resources in the existing sewage treatment plant.

[0110] 4. In this embodiment, the phosphorus recovery mechanism adopts an outer shell, a middle shell, and an inner shell to form a three-layer shell arrangement, forming a circulating flow channel formed by a first water flow rising channel, a water flow descending channel, and a second water flow rising channel. The plug flow stirring component and the folded plate vortex component are arranged from top to bottom in the first water flow rising channel, and the modular vortex component is arranged in the water flow descending channel, forming a mechanical stirring mixed crystallization + hydraulic vortex crystallization composite system. Due to its special structure, hydraulic classification is realized during operation, so that the solution is fully mixed with materials and the crystal particles are fluidized, and self-induction is realized without the need for external crystal seeds. The crystal particles are larger in size and purity than those in traditional stirred crystallization. The first water flow ascending channel and the water flow descending channel form a water flow circulation channel to automatically sort the crystal particles. Particles with large size and mass will automatically separate from the circulating water flow and be discharged into the crystal gathering area under the action of gravity, while crystal particles with small size and mass continue to crystallize in the water flow circulation channel. The crystal particles collected in the crystal gathering area are larger in size and higher in purity than those in traditional stirred crystallization. The inclined plate assembly is arranged in the second water flow ascending channel to perform secondary separation on the fine crystal particles entrained in the water flow, thereby further improving the recovery efficiency of the phosphorus crystal particles.
