Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biochemical treatment of sewage and its resource utilization, and specifically relates to a device for recovering phosphorus in a sewage pipe network and a method for realizing in-situ enrichment and recovery of blue iron stone. The invention is designed to install a sinking capture device connected by a flange in an urban sewage pipe network system to realize in-situ recovery of sewage phosphorus as a high-value-added product blue iron stone. Background Art
[0002] The stable and efficient operation of the urban sewage treatment system affects the treatment effect of the downstream sewage treatment plant and is closely related to the environmental sanitation of urban development. In recent years, the urban sewage pipe network has gradually attracted widespread attention as a "biochemical reactor" or sewage treatment facility. During the transportation of urban domestic sewage in the pipe network, a large number of highly active microorganisms will be enriched and attached to the inner wall of the pipe network. The microorganisms promote their own growth and metabolism by utilizing organic matter and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the sewage, which directly affects the influent water quality of the subsequent sewage treatment plant. Microorganisms with dissimilatory reduction function can make full use of the excess phosphorus in the sewage to form a high-value-added iron-phosphorus product, blue iron. In recent years, the phosphorus recovery technology of microbial dissimilatory iron reduction to synthesize blue iron has received widespread attention in domestic sewage treatment. Dissimilatory iron-reducing microorganisms use organic matter in sewage to metabolize substrates to generate energy while releasing electrons to the iron ore receptors in the form of trivalent iron outside the cell. After receiving electrons, the iron ore is reduced to divalent iron. When the concentration reaches the threshold, it combines with sufficient phosphate ions in the sewage to form a relatively stable blue iron. The rich organic matter and phosphates in domestic sewage and the anaerobic environment formed by the closed sewage pipe network provide suitable conditions for the formation of blue iron stone.
[0003] In addition, during the sewage transportation process, blue iron particles form a sedimentation effect in the pipe network and gather inside the pipe network. This phenomenon causes the blockage of the sewage pipe network and increases the maintenance cost to a certain extent. Therefore, a sinking blue iron capturer connected by a flange is set at the pipe network interface, which is conducive to the timely recovery of blue iron and alleviates the blockage and maintenance problems of the pipe network, and at the same time realizes the recovery of phosphorus in sewage. Therefore, when the sewage flows through the interface, a part of the sewage sinks to the capturer due to gravity, and the in-situ enrichment and recovery of blue iron can be achieved in this micro-biochemical reactor. In addition, the microbial-driven dissimilatory iron reduction process can enhance the extracellular electron transfer by exogenously adding low-cost and highly selective conductive carbon-based materials, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of blue iron and promoting the resource circulation of phosphorus. However, the judgment of the enrichment and recovery degree lacks the support of experimental data, and is often judged by experience. The corresponding iron ore supply and carbon-based material addition amount have long lacked experimental data.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention designs a new type of pipe network blue iron stone capture device which is installed at the interface of the sewage pipe network and utilizes local alienation-reduction microorganisms to recover the high-value product blue iron stone, thereby realizing the resource application of sewage. This is of great significance to the efficient and healthy operation of the urban sewage pipe network system. Summary of the invention

[0025] The present invention creatively proposes a structural device for setting an in-situ blue iron stone catcher at the pipe network interface, and its beneficial effects are specifically embodied in:
[0026] (1) The trap can be installed at the interfaces of various pipes in the sewage and wastewater network. By utilizing the high abundance of heterotrophic iron-reducing microorganisms in the sewage and wastewater and the sufficient organic matter and phosphorus sources in the background, the high-value-added iron-phosphorus product blue iron can be recovered in situ during pipeline maintenance, thus realizing high-value sewage recovery and cost reduction and efficiency improvement in various scenarios such as urban sewage networks and sewage treatment plants.
[0027] (2) The base filler of the collector is green, high-performance carbon-based materials and iron ore particles. On the one hand, the iron ore particles serve as a supplementary iron source to ensure the full conversion of phosphorus in the wastewater. On the other hand, the low-cost and highly selective carbon-based materials can promote the enrichment and growth of microorganisms and improve the efficiency of electron transfer due to their rich functional groups and good conductivity, thereby achieving efficient recovery of blue iron ore in wastewater in various scenarios such as official website.
[0028] (3) The trap can intercept phosphorus in sewage in advance, which reduces the phosphorus removal pressure of downstream sewage treatment plants in the urban sewage discharge system and reduces the dosage of iron flocculants compared to traditional phosphorus treatment processes.
[0029] (3) A multi-layer grid structure is provided in the capture reactor, and the distance between each layer is 1 / 3-1 / 5 of the height of the reaction bed. The carbon-based material and the supplementary iron source can be fully released, which is beneficial to the formation of blue iron stone.
[0030] (4) A connecting valve is provided at the bottom of the capturer. Through the connection, the fluidity between the capturers at the bottom of the pipeline is increased during the phosphorus recovery in the sewage network and the in-situ enrichment and recovery of blue iron ore, which can fully enrich and improve the recovery rate. In addition, the bottom connecting pipeline is equipped with a pressure sensor and a speed sensor to sense the changes in pressure and flow rate, and the degree of enrichment and recovery can be judged. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the solenoid valve and the bottom connecting valve can be remotely controlled to timely dismantle and replace the new device.

[0035] The present invention is based on the dissimilatory iron reduction process driven by microorganisms in the anaerobic environment of the sewage pipe network, and efficiently recovers phosphorus in the form of high value-added product blue iron stone. The characteristic is that the blue iron stone trap is installed at the pipe network interface by flange fixing and filter membrane interception by utilizing the anaerobic environment and hydraulic sinking of the sewage pipe network, the reaction bed in the trap is supplemented with iron ore as a supplementary iron source, and the carbon-based material is used as a carrier for microbial enrichment and enhanced electron transfer. The further definition scheme of the structural design of each part is as follows:
