Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sewage treatment, and in particular to a biological method for synergistically fixing methane and carbon dioxide. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of sewage treatment technology, people have gradually realized that dissolved methane (D-CH4) produced in sewage treatment has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently. The concentration of dissolved methane in sewage treatment systems can reach 0.1-0.8 mg / L, and even in some high-load anaerobic reactors, its concentration can exceed 1 mg / L. If the dissolved methane produced in the sewage treatment process is directly discharged into the atmosphere without treatment, it will not only aggravate the greenhouse effect and cause global warming, but also cause energy loss.

[0003] In traditional sewage treatment technology, denitrification is the key step in denitrification. Its main mechanism is that denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate (NO3 - ) is reduced to nitrogen (N2), thereby achieving nitrogen removal. However, this process usually requires an external organic carbon source (such as methanol, acetic acid, etc.) as an electron donor to maintain the denitrification reaction. However, the added carbon source is eventually converted into carbon dioxide under the action of microorganisms, further increasing the overall carbon emissions of the sewage treatment plant, which is contrary to the green and low-carbon development concept currently advocated by the world.

[0004] As sewage treatment plants develop towards green, energy-saving and carbon-reducing directions, how to effectively remove dissolved methane and reduce carbon dioxide emissions has become an important issue that needs to be addressed urgently. Summary of the invention

[0042] As used herein:

[0043] "Prepared from" is synonymous with "comprising." As used herein, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the listed elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0044] The conjunction "consisting of excludes any unspecified element, step, or component. If used in a claim, this phrase renders the claim closed-ended so that it does not include materials other than those described, except for conventional impurities associated therewith. When the phrase "consisting of" appears in a clause of the body of a claim rather than immediately following the subject matter, it limits only the elements described in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.

[0045] When an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed as a range, a preferred range, or a range defined by a series of upper preferred values ​​and lower preferred values, this should be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed by any pairing of any range upper limit or preferred value with any range lower limit or preferred value, regardless of whether the range is disclosed separately. For example, when a range of "1 to 5" is disclosed, the described range should be interpreted as including ranges "1 to 4", "1 to 3", "1 to 2", "1 to 2 and 4 to 5", "1 to 3 and 5", etc. When a numerical range is described in this article, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include its end values ​​and all integers and fractions within the range.

[0046] In these examples, parts and percentages are by mass unless otherwise indicated.

[0047] "Parts by mass" refers to the basic unit of measurement for expressing the mass ratio of multiple components. 1 part can represent any unit mass, such as 1g or 2.689g. If we say that the mass of component A is a parts and the mass of component B is b parts, it means the ratio of the mass of component A to the mass of component B is a:b. Alternatively, it means that the mass of component A is aK and the mass of component B is bK (K is an arbitrary number, indicating a multiple factor). It should not be misunderstood that, unlike the mass parts, the sum of the mass of all components is not limited to 100 parts.

[0048] “And / or” is used to indicate that one or both of the stated situations may occur, for example, A and / or B includes (A and B) and (A or B).

[0049] In order to better explain the technical solution provided by this application, before the embodiments, the technical solution is first described as a whole, as follows:

[0050] A biological method for synergistically fixing methane and carbon dioxide, comprising:

[0053] Wherein, the gas includes methane and carbon dioxide, and the sewage includes a carbon source, a nitrogen source and a phosphorus source.

[0054] The present application method can be used to culture bacteria and algae particles, refer to Figure 1, the bacteria and algae particles can purify sewage and methane. Specifically, the bacteria and algae particles include aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria and microalgae. The aerobic bacteria include methane oxidizing bacteria and nitrifying bacteria, and the anaerobic bacteria include denitrifying bacteria. The anaerobic zone of the bacteria and algae particles can use dissolved methane as an electron donor for denitrifying bacteria to provide electrons for denitrification, thereby achieving the purpose of simultaneous removal of dissolved methane and denitrification. When there is light, the aerobic zone of the bacteria and algae particles can further oxidize methane into carbon dioxide through the action of methane oxidizing bacteria, and at the same time utilize the photosynthesis of microalgae to absorb carbon dioxide, thereby achieving the synergistic removal of methane and carbon dioxide in the sewage treatment process. The photosynthetic oxygen production of microalgae can also serve as a substrate for bacterial respiration. The method of the present application can not only effectively eliminate the hazards of dissolved methane, but also reduce the demand for external carbon sources in the denitrification process, reduce treatment costs and reduce carbon emissions, and provide a low-carbon and efficient solution for sewage treatment.

[0055] Specifically, in the bacterial and algae particles of the present application, methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and nitrifying bacteria (NB) are in the aerobic zone of the particles, responsible for removing methane and ammonia nitrogen under aerobic conditions. Denitrifying bacteria (DNB) are in the anaerobic zone of the particles, using dissolved methane as an electron donor to provide electrons for denitrification, removing methane, nitrates, nitrites and organic matter in sewage. When illuminated, the microalgae in the bacterial and algae particles can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis, thereby providing energy for aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, and nitrifying bacteria.

[0087] The activated sludge used in the following examples was taken from the biochemical pool of Longwangzui Sewage Treatment Plant. The methane oxidizing bacteria, nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria in this application were cultured under the conditions of this application.

[0088] Example 1

[0089] Example 1 provides a biological method for the synergistic fixation of methane and carbon dioxide. Figure 2 The reactor shown in the figure is carried out, specifically comprising:

[0090] (1) Mixing activated sludge with Chlorella, continuously introducing gas, and forming a bacterial-algal symbiosis under continuous light conditions;

[0091] The gases include 31.29% carbon dioxide by volume, 52.63% methane by volume, and 16.08% nitrogen by volume.

[0092] The concentration of activated sludge is 4000 mg / L, and the concentration of Chlorella is 10 9 cells / L;

[0093] The continuous illumination time was 12 hours, alternating between 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness;

[0094] The gas is passed through for 24 hours, after which the air bag is replaced.

[0095] The light source for continuous lighting is a 24W LED lamp with a color temperature of 5600K and a light intensity of 12000lux.

[0096] (2) placing the bacteria-algae symbiont into a reactor, pumping in sewage and introducing gas, and operating the reactor in a cycle of water inlet-aeration-sedimentation-drainage;

[0097] Sewage is added into the water inlet bucket 1 every day, and the sewage includes 200 mg / L of sodium acetate and 100 mg / L of glucose, 50 mg / L to 90 mg / L of ammonium chloride, and 5 mg / L of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

[0098] 2L of gas is taken out and put into the air bag every day. The gas includes 31.29% carbon dioxide by volume, 52.63% methane by volume, and 16.08% nitrogen by volume.

[0099] When the reactor starts to run, the peristaltic pump 2 is used to pressurize the sewage, and the sewage is pushed into the device body 3. The system volume exchange rate is 50%, each cycle is 8h, the hydraulic retention time is 16 hours, and 3 cycles are run per day. The water intake is 5min, the sedimentation time is 30min at the initial stage of the experiment, the sedimentation time is gradually reduced to 5min, and then the sedimentation time is kept constant at 5min, and the drainage is 5min. Except for the sedimentation time and the water intake and drainage time, the rest of the time is aeration time. During aeration, the gas in the air bag is extracted by the air pump 6 and pumped into the aeration head 7 in the device body 3 for uniform aeration. The gas flow rate during aeration is 2.0L / min; after an 8h cycle, the effluent is discharged from the drain port set in the middle of the reactor. The external light source is the LED lamp used in step (1), which is a 24W LED lamp with a color temperature of 5600K and a light intensity of 12000lux. Step (2) is carried out under the condition of alternating light and darkness, alternating between 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.

[0100] The purified sewage is discharged from the middle drainage port of the device body 3 and enters the drainage bucket 4.

[0101] Figure 3 The left picture shows the sludge morphology after 68 days of inoculation with sewage and gas. Figure 3 The figure on the right shows the sludge morphology after 90 days of inoculation with sewage and gas. Figure 3 It can be seen that under the conditions of Example 1, the bacteria and algae particles matured on the 68th day, at which time obvious dark green particles appeared in the reactor. When the operation reached 90 days, the shape of the bacteria and algae particles tended to be irregular round dark green particles, the particle surface was smoother, and the number of particles increased compared to the 68th day.

[0102] Figure 4 is a relative abundance diagram of methyl oxidizing bacteria and methane oxidizing bacteria in the bacterial and algal particles cultured 68 days after inoculation with sewage and gas in Example 1, Figure 4 It can be seen that the bacterial and algal particles contain aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria and methyl oxidizing bacteria, which can effectively promote the removal of methane.

[0103] Figure 5 is a graph showing the relative abundance of algae in the bacterial-algae particles cultured 68 days after inoculation with sewage and gas in Example 1. Figure 5 It can be seen that the algae in the bacteria-algae granules are mainly Chlorella.

[0104] Figure 6 This is the distribution diagram of the main bacteria in the algae particles cultured after the 68th day of inoculation of sewage and gas in Example 1. Figure 6 The top 20 bacteria in relative abundance are listed, by Figure 6It can be seen that the main bacteria in the bacterial-algae granules include typical anaerobic bacteria Lactococcus, denitrifying bacteria Brevundimonas, aerobic bacteria Delftia and other bacteria.

[0105] During the entire operation process, the growth of bacteria and algae particles and the removal effect of pollutants in simulated wastewater can be judged by the removal effect of TOC and nitrogen. Figure 7 It can be seen that the bacteria and algae particles have a good TOC removal effect during operation, and the TOC removal rate is always stable at more than 90%. Figure 8 It can be seen that the bacteria and algae particles have a good ammonia nitrogen removal effect during operation, and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate is stable at more than 95%. As time goes by, after the concentration of ammonia nitrogen is increased to 90 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate drops to more than 80%. The bacteria and algae particles cultivated by the method of the present application can effectively degrade sewage, and the high pollutant removal rate proves that the bacteria and algae particles grow well in sewage.

[0106] During the entire operation process, the changes in gas components in the gas can be used to determine the absorption capacity of the algae particles for methane and carbon dioxide in the gas. Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the system has a good carbon dioxide removal effect during operation. At the end of three water inlet and outlet cycles, that is, when the system was running for 24 hours, the average carbon dioxide component was 22.93%. Compared with the initial carbon dioxide percentage of 31.29%, the algae particles absorbed 8.36% of the carbon dioxide. Similarly, at the beginning of the reaction, the proportion of methane in the air bag reached 52.63%, while at the end of the reaction, the proportion of methane in the air bag decreased to 31.22%, and the algae particles absorbed 21.41% of the methane. The system achieved the fixation of carbon dioxide and methane in the gas during operation, proving that the algae particles have the ability to remove dissolved methane and carbon dioxide produced in the sewage treatment process.
