Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of ecosystem restoration, and in particular to a tailwater ecological wetland system for synergistically removing antibiotics and conventional pollutants. Background Art
[0002] The direct discharge of tailwater into surface and groundwater bodies will still cause water deterioration, such as eutrophication. On the other hand, the emergence of antibiotics as a new type of pollutant in the natural water environment has attracted widespread attention. The large-scale use of antibiotics causes them to enter the environment through direct or indirect pathways, thereby causing environmental pollution and endangering the health of organisms. Since most antibiotics have poor biodegradability, the biological wastewater treatment process currently used by most sewage treatment plants cannot effectively remove antibiotics from sewage. Therefore, tailwater from sewage treatment plants is also one of the important sources of antibiotics in the natural water environment.
[0003] Most of the existing water treatment technologies for targeted removal of antibiotics are based on physical or chemical methods. Commonly used water antibiotic treatment processes include adsorption, membrane filtration, advanced oxidation and biological methods. Among them, the adsorption method has the possibility of secondary pollution, and the adsorption capacity is limited, and the adsorbent needs to be replaced regularly; the membrane in the membrane filtration method is easy to clog, and it needs to be cleaned and replaced regularly, which is costly; the advanced oxidation method is complex to operate, requires high concentrations of oxidants, and may have an impact on the environment.
[0004] As a biological treatment technology currently widely used in the deep treatment of tailwater from sewage plants, artificial wetlands have good removal effects on nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, etc. in tailwater. The biological method is environmentally friendly, has no secondary pollution, and has relatively low cost. However, as a biological method, the existing tailwater wetland technology has poor removal effect on antibiotics. In the process flow of tailwater wetlands, no targeted measures are set for the removal of antibiotics, which makes it difficult to degrade antibiotics with stable structures. The tailwater still has a high concentration after conventional artificial wetland treatment, which further leads to water environmental risks. Especially quinolone antibiotics, sulfonamide antibiotics, macrolide antibiotics, etc. The main reason is that these antibiotics are relatively stable in structure and difficult to remove through matrix and plant adsorption and microbial degradation. In addition, there are disadvantages such as unstable treatment effect of antibiotics in tailwater treated by artificial wetlands, which is greatly affected by seasons and hydrodynamic conditions.
[0005] Therefore, the existing technology lacks a technical solution that combines antibiotic treatment with tailwater wetland systems and uses artificial wetlands to treat antibiotics. How to combine efficient water antibiotic treatment technology with artificial wetland technology to achieve the synergistic removal of antibiotics and conventional pollutants (nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, etc.) in tailwater is one of the problems that need to be solved urgently.

[0045] The present invention provides a tailwater ecological wetland system for synergistically removing antibiotics and conventional pollutants, comprising four treatment units connected in series:
[0046] (1) Ecological pond
[0047] Used for the pretreatment of tail water, it removes large suspended matter in the tail water through sedimentation, as well as SS and COD in conventional pollutants, and removes a portion of antibiotics adsorbed by suspended particles.
[0048] (2) Microbial fuel cell subsurface wetland
[0049] Microbial fuel cells are devices that use microorganisms to directly convert chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy. Its basic working principle is: organic matter decomposes under the action of microorganisms and releases electrons and protons. Electrons rely on suitable electron transfer mediators to effectively transfer between biological components and anodes, and are transferred to cathodes through external circuits to form current. Compared with other existing technologies that use organic matter to generate energy, microbial fuel cells have operational and functional advantages: they directly convert substrates into electrical energy, ensuring high energy conversion efficiency. Unlike all existing bioenergy treatments, microbial fuel cells can operate effectively under normal temperature conditions; microbial fuel cells do not require waste gas treatment because the main component of the waste gas they produce is carbon dioxide, which does not have reusable energy under normal conditions. In local areas where there is a lack of power infrastructure, microbial fuel cells have the potential for widespread application, while also expanding the diversity of fuels used to meet our energy needs.
[0050] The microbial fuel cell subsurface wetland of the present invention efficiently removes conventional pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter in the tail water through the adsorption effect of subsurface wetland plants and the adsorption and filtration effect of matrix fillers, and cooperates with the effect of microbial fuel cells to remove antibiotics in the tail water to a certain extent. At the same time, the microbial fuel cell supplies power to the light source of the photocatalytic reaction in the next processing unit. The photocatalytic reaction is carried out under visible light conditions. Since the visible light conditions in the evening and night are very poor or non-existent, and the demand for photocatalysis still exists, a certain power supply is required.
[0051] The main body of the subsurface wetland includes, from bottom to top, a coarse filler layer (large-grained sand and gravel), an anode layer, an intermediate filler layer (ceramsite), a fine filler layer (small-grained zeolite / fine sand), a cathode layer, and emergent plants. Both the anode layer and the cathode layer are graphite electrode plates, which are connected to the external circuit through a copper core wire, and the external circuit is connected in series with the low-power LED lamp in the photocatalytic plug-flow reaction tank. A water inlet is provided at the bottom of one side of the wetland, and a water outlet is provided at the top of the other side.
[0052] (3) Photocatalytic plug flow reaction cell
[0053] The photocatalytic plug-flow reaction pool adopts a multi-corridor design, and the reaction pool is divided into a plurality of corridors connected end to end in sequence by corridor partition walls, and 3-5 corridors are arranged; a plurality of photocatalytic reaction plates are arranged in the photocatalytic plug-flow reaction pool along the water flow direction, and the photocatalytic reaction plates are fixed to the bottom of the photocatalytic plug-flow reaction pool by columns and are tilted toward the sun;
[0054] A supported bismuth vanadate material is arranged in the reaction tank, and various antibiotics in the tail water are degraded efficiently and pollution-free under visible light conditions through a photocatalytic reaction. Bismuth vanadate is a typical metal oxide, which has the characteristics of a wide light response range, low carbon, environmental protection, and non-toxicity, and is widely used in the fields of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. The low-cost supported bismuth vanadate material used in the present invention is a bismuth vanadate / activated carbon fiber composite material.
[0055] Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is a new, efficient and multifunctional adsorption material. Activated carbon fiber has a large specific surface area (1000-3000m 2 / g) and abundant micropores, with the volume of micropores accounting for more than 90% of the total pore volume. Activated carbon fiber has a larger adsorption capacity and faster adsorption kinetics than granular activated carbon. It has high adsorption efficiency for organic matter and anions and cations in liquid and gas phases, fast adsorption and desorption speeds, and can be recycled. It is also resistant to acid, alkali, and high temperature, has strong adaptability, and has good electrical conductivity and chemical stability. It is an ideal environmentally friendly material. ACF products will not become loose or too tight when vibrated, and are particularly suitable for wastewater treatment and air purification with frequent adsorption and desorption.
[0056] Taking advantage of the rich pore structure and large specific surface area of activated carbon fibers, antibiotics in water are adsorbed on the surface of activated carbon fibers, and then the loaded bismuth vanadate is used to photocatalytically degrade antibiotics under visible light irradiation conditions, achieving pollutant decomposition and restoration of activated carbon fiber adsorption performance, thereby achieving material recyclability. The loaded bismuth vanadate material in the reaction tank can adjust the inclination angle according to local light conditions to obtain the best light conditions.
[0057] In the present invention, a 40W LED lamp is installed on the wall of the reaction pool as a light source, and an LED point light source is installed at the wall corresponding to each bismuth vanadate / activated carbon fiber composite material. The LED point light source is installed in the form of an aluminum groove contour lamp, that is, the LED point light source is fixed and embedded in the aluminum groove with a buckle, and the aluminum groove is fixed to the wall of the reaction pool with screws. The microbial fuel cell and the external circuit are powered to provide a certain light source when the lighting conditions are poor.
[0058] (4) Surface flow wetland
[0059] As the last link of the system, it is used to further purify and stabilize the water quality. By planting aquatic plants such as submerged plants and emergent plants, a good water ecological environment and water ecosystem are created to enhance the self-purification capacity of the water body.
[0060] Example 1
[0061] like Figure 1 A tailwater ecological wetland system for synergistically removing antibiotics and conventional pollutants is shown, comprising:
[0062] Ecological Pond 1: A shallow pond in the form of an earthen pond is constructed, and the inlet water is the tailwater of the sewage treatment plant. The designed water depth is 0.5-1.5m, the slope ratio is 1:3-1:4, and reeds, cattails, and lilies are planted on the shore.

An inlet is set at the lower part of one side of the wetland to ensure that the tail water can flow into the wetland evenly. An outlet is set at the top of the other side to ensure that the treated water can be discharged smoothly. The copper core wires of the anode layer and the cathode layer are connected to the external circuit, and the microbial fuel cell is debugged to ensure that it can work normally and provide power support for the photocatalytic reaction.
[0064] Photocatalytic plug flow reaction cell 3:
[0065] Reaction pool body: The plug-flow reaction pool adopts a multi-corridor design, with 3-5 corridors. The length of a single corridor is 20-50m, the aspect ratio is 5:1-10:1, the width-depth ratio is B / H=1-2, the longitudinal slope is 2%-3%, the pool wall is 0.2-0.5m high, and the designed water depth is 0.8m. The water is inletted by submerged holes and outlet by overflow weirs. The structure is reinforced concrete.
[0066] Preparation of activated carbon fiber (ACF): ACF was prepared by high temperature carbonization method.
[0067] The straw of emergent plants (such as reeds and spathiphyllum) can be taken from the ecological ponds and subsurface wetlands, surface wetlands or wetland peripheries of this wetland system. After washing the emergent plant straw with tap water, wash it three times with deionized water, dry it in a fume hood, and then place the dried straw in an oven at 105°C to constant weight, cool it to room temperature in a dryer, and crush it into powder with a grinder to 50-100 mesh, and put it into a wide-mouth bottle for later use.
[0068] Weigh 30g of straw powder into a beaker, add potassium carbonate solution with a concentration of about 1mol / L as an activator, stir and mix, and soak at room temperature for 8h. Place the impregnated sample in a porcelain crucible, cover it and place it in a muffle furnace for carbonization activation, increase the temperature by 150℃, and the interval time is 10min. When the temperature rises to 750℃, carbonize for 1h. When the temperature drops below 80℃, take out the sample, crush it to 160-200 mesh, and put it into a wide-mouth bottle for later use.
[0069] Preparation of supported bismuth vanadate materials: Preparation of BiVO by impregnation loading method 4 / ACF composite materials.
[0070] Take a certain amount of monoclinic BiVO 4 The solid powder is ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water, the dispersion is heated to 50-70°C, and the pre-prepared ACF is gradually added, with the mass ratio of BiVO4 to ACF being 1:2-1:5; a mechanical stirrer is used for sufficient stirring; then a solid-liquid separation operation is performed, and the separated solid matter is thoroughly washed and dried to obtain an activated carbon fiber-bismuth vanadate photocatalytic material with a specific size.

A support 32 connected and fixed to the bottom of the pool is set at the bottom of the frame 312. 2 to 3 brackets are set inside each corridor inside the reaction pool, 10 to 20 cm above the bottom of the pool, 10 to 15 cm above the water surface, tilted to the south, and the inclination angle is determined according to the local lighting conditions of the wetland construction. According to the lighting conditions in most parts of my country, the design range is 20° to 45°.
[0073] illumination
[0074] A low-power LED lamp is used as a supplementary light source for the photocatalytic reaction, powered by a microbial fuel cell and an external circuit, and installed on the wall of the reaction pool.

In addition, fish, snails, shrimps, etc. are placed in the surface flow wetland to enhance the self-purification function of the wetland system. The surface flow wetland discharges water to natural water bodies.
[0076] Example 2
[0077] The tailwater of a sewage treatment plant mainly contains macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin, roxithromycin, and azithromycin, as well as fluoroquinolone (chloramphenicol) and trimethoprim (sulfonamide) antibiotics. The contents of erythromycin, roxithromycin, azithromycin, fluoroquinolone, and trimethoprim are approximately 307.8 ng / L, 270.1 ng / L, 166.5 ng / L, 96.2 ng / L, and 51.9 ng / L, respectively. In addition, the concentrations of conventional pollutants in the water quality indicators are as follows: COD is 35 mg / L, TN is 8.7 mg / L, NH 3 -N is 2.8 mg / L, TP is 0.32 mg / L.

[0082] After the treatment, the contents of erythromycin, roxithromycin, azithromycin, fluoroquinolone, and trimethoprim in the effluent of the surface wetland were 65.5 ng / L, 43.6 ng / L, 45.9 ng / L, 44.2 ng / L, and 19.3 ng / L, respectively. That is, the removal rate of the system in Example 1 for the five types of antibiotics with the highest content in the tail water of a sewage plant ranged from 54.05% to 83.86%, with an average of 70.38%. In terms of conventional pollutants, COD, TN, and NH in the effluent of the surface wetland were 2.34 ng / L, 1.22 ng / L, and 1.3 ng / L, respectively. 3 The concentrations of -N and TP are 16mg / L, 3.2mg / L, 1.2mg / L, and 0.18mg / L, respectively, i.e. COD, TN, NH 3 The removal rates of -N and TP were 54.29%, 63.22%, 57.14% and 43.75% respectively, and the effluent met the Class IV water quality standards of the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standards".
