Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of environmental microorganisms, in particular to a thiocyanate alkalivibrio halophilic bacterium for treating sulfur-containing gas and wastewater. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous promotion of ecological civilization construction in my country, the proportion of clean energy in total energy consumption is increasing. Biomass biogas, as a renewable clean gas fuel, has attracted much attention. However, biomass biogas generally contains a large amount of hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur-containing compounds. If it is directly used for combustion or power generation, the corrosive hydrogen sulfide will seriously corrode the equipment. Therefore, before comprehensive utilization, the sulfur-containing compounds in biomass biogas need to be removed.

[0003] With the maturity and popularization of biological desulfurization technology, this technology has been widely used in the field of biomass biogas desulfurization. However, the salt tolerance of the desulfurization strains currently used is not high. In an environment with Na+ higher than 1.0 mol / L, the oxidation rate of S2- is significantly reduced. For this reason, it is usually necessary to continuously change the water of the liquid in the bioreactor to maintain a low Na+ environment for the entire system. However, liquid alkali is discharged during the water change process, resulting in a large amount of liquid alkali loss, which is the main reason for the high consumption of liquid alkali in the alkaline biological desulfurization process. In addition, there is a lack of sophisticated process control strategies, and the relationship between process control parameters and elemental sulfur generation rate has not been established. At present, this extensive control method causes excessive S2- (>50%) to be oxidized into H2SO4, neutralizing the alkalinity in the system, which is another major reason for the loss of liquid alkali. After calculation, the consumption cost of liquid alkali accounts for about half of the total desulfurization cost. In order to reduce the consumption of liquid alkali in alkaline biological desulfurization and further enhance its competitiveness, it is urgent to screen new halophilic desulfurization strains and establish an effective control strategy.

[0004] In response to the technical problem of low salt tolerance of biological desulfurization strains, various companies and research institutions have also disclosed some invention patents. For example: Patent application number CN111676169 A discloses a halophilic alkaliphilic micro-oxygen sulfur microspirillium, which can grow under high salt and high alkaline conditions of 0.5-4.0mol / L Na+ and pH 8.0-12.0, and the elemental sulfur production rate can reach 95%; Patent application number CN105420139A discloses a halophilic desulfurization strain NPE-1, which can grow normally in a mixed solution of 14% Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 (about 1.5-2.0mol / L Na+) and pH 10.5-11.0 environment; Patent number CN104857842 A discloses an alkaline multifunctional sulfur-alkali vibrio, which can grow normally in an environment of 0.5-4.0mol / L Na+ and pH 9.0-12.0, and the elemental sulfur production rate is greater than 90%. There are no reports of halophilic and alkaliphilic Vibrio thiocyanate strains in the published patents, no reports of detailed process control strategies, and no reports of controlling the elemental sulfur conversion rate by combining high-concentration S2- stimulation treatment and low ORP oxidation S2- strategy.
