Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor coupling system and wastewater treatment method. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial wastewater is characterized by its complex composition, recalcitrant nature, and large fluctuations in quality and quantity. It contains various organic and inorganic pollutants. For example, dyeing and printing wastewater contains large amounts of dyes and auxiliaries (such as sodium sulfide and sodium hydrosulfite). These organic substances have complex compositions and diverse structures, and some are even biotoxic, making them difficult to remove completely using a single treatment method. Electroplating wastewater is rich in heavy metal ions, such as chromium, nickel, cadmium, and copper. These heavy metals are non-biodegradable, persist in the environment for a long time, and easily accumulate in organisms, posing serious threats to ecosystems and human health. Different heavy metals require different treatment processes for effective removal, increasing the complexity of the treatment process.
[0003] Currently, common methods for treating industrial wastewater include physical, chemical, biological, and combined methods. Physical methods have limited catalyst cycles, while traditional biochemical methods suffer from drawbacks such as large land area requirements, long treatment cycles, and poor treatment efficiency. Photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation wastewater treatment technology, under the combined action of light and an applied electric field, excites photoelectrocatalytic materials to generate a large number of electrons and holes. These electrons and holes separate and move directionally, accumulating at the anode and cathode to generate a large number of active free radicals. These highly oxidizing free radicals react with pollutants in the water, mineralizing them into carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, thereby achieving water purification. Furthermore, these active free radicals can purify different types of water and enhance the biodegradability of the treated water, thus reducing the difficulty of advanced treatment. Suspended packed-layer biofilm reactors (MBBRs) are wastewater treatment devices that combine traditional activated sludge and biofilm processes. MBBRs use suspended packing as a carrier for biofilm attachment, utilizing microorganisms to consume nutrients in the water to purify the water. Compared to other biofilm treatment processes, MBBR has advantages in denitrification, resistance to shock loads, and floor space, but it is less effective in treating wastewater with high biological toxicity or poor biodegradability.
[0004] Due to the complex composition of industrial wastewater, a single treatment process often cannot meet the requirements for discharge compliance, and a combination of multiple treatment processes is usually necessary. However, how to rationally select and optimize these combined processes to achieve the best treatment effect through synergistic cooperation is a challenge in industrial wastewater treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a coupled wastewater treatment system to improve the limitations of existing technologies in the deep treatment of complex water bodies. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a photocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor coupling system and wastewater treatment method. By coupling photocatalytic oxidation technology, electrocatalytic reaction technology, and biofilm reactor, the system leverages the synergistic effect of each component, improving the efficiency of deep treatment of complex water bodies. It features simple operation, stable long-term operation, mild reaction conditions, small footprint, and significant wastewater purification efficiency.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a coupled system of photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation and suspended packing biofilm reactor, comprising: a photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system and a suspended packing biofilm reactor;

[0009] The photoanode and the photocathode are located in the electrolytic cell, and the photoanode and the photocathode are respectively connected to the power source through wires; the light source is located outside the electrolytic cell and is used to irradiate the electrolytic cell with light.
[0010] The suspended packing biofilm reactor includes a biofilm tank, an aeration device, activated sludge, a porous biofilm carrier, and coconut shell powder.
[0011] The aeration device is located below the biofilm tank and is used to create an aerobic environment; the activated sludge, porous biofilm carrier and coconut shell powder are located in the biofilm tank;
[0012] The inlet of the biofilm tank is connected to the outlet of the electrolysis tank, and the outlet of the biofilm tank is connected to the inlet of the electrolysis tank, for recirculation and multiple cycles of treatment.
[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the electrocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor coupled system (hereinafter referred to as the coupled system) provided by this invention offers significant advantages in wastewater treatment. The electrocatalytic advanced oxidation system exhibits high wastewater treatment efficiency but suffers from high energy consumption and limited catalyst cycles, making it more suitable for short-term, frequent operation. In contrast, the MBBR (Mixed Biofilm Reactor) system boasts long-term operational stability and strong resistance to shock loads. This invention, by coupling the electrocatalytic advanced oxidation system with the MBBR, fully leverages the advantages of both systems. It not only enhances the treatment capacity of photocatalysis for complex water bodies but also strengthens the deep treatment efficiency of the MBBR for industrial wastewater. Furthermore, the coupled system improves treatment efficiency while also ensuring rational energy utilization. It reduces water toxicity while improving biodegradability. The two wastewater treatment systems complement each other, meeting the needs for deep treatment of industrial wastewater and possessing high market application value.
[0014] This invention, through a coordinated operation of a coupled system, employs a photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system preceding a molecular bioreactor (MBBR), leveraging the advantages of coconut shell powder in adsorption, decolorization, and promotion of microbial growth and metabolism. This not only enhances the treatment efficiency of pollutants in water but also shortens the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation time, achieving rational energy utilization. The coupled system is also environmentally friendly, simple to operate, and suitable for various water bodies. By connecting the effluent of the biofilm tank to the influent of the electrolysis tank, this invention enables repeated treatment of stubborn substances in complex water bodies.
[0015] Through extensive experiments, this invention has discovered that the microporous structure of coconut shell powder has the effect of adsorbing and fixing nutrient sources. When combined with porous biofilm carriers, it promotes the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, accelerates the growth and film formation of microorganisms on activated sludge and porous biofilm carriers, and significantly improves the activity of microorganisms. At the same time, coconut shell powder has the effect of adsorbing and decolorizing metal ions and toxic pollutants, increasing the purification and cleaning efficiency of pollutants.
[0016] The advanced features of this invention are long-term stable operation, mild reaction conditions, green and low carbon emissions, and strong water treatment effect. It can overcome the defects of high energy consumption and limited catalyst cycle of advanced oxidation technology, and solve the problems of large land area and long treatment cycle of biotechnology. By coupling the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system with MBBR and the synergistic effect of its components, materials and biofilm structure, it achieves deep treatment of wastewater.

[0019] The photoanode material provided by this invention uses a nano-WSe2 and Bi2O2Fe2O4 semiconductor composite material as the photocatalytic material for the photoanode, utilizing photocatalytic activity to remove pollutants from wastewater. The photocatalytic material WSe2 has a narrow band gap (around 1.65 eV), exhibiting good light absorption and photoelectric storage capabilities, and demonstrates excellent catalytic degradation effects on pollutants. Through doping modification, it can acquire n-type or p-type semiconductor characteristics, sensitizing other semiconductors with wider band gaps to form sensitized nanocomposite materials, reducing the band gap width, improving photoelectric conversion efficiency, thereby generating excellent photocatalytic activity, increasing visible light utilization, increasing the generation of photogenerated electrons, improving the separation and transport rate of photogenerated electrons and photoelectric conversion efficiency, and enhancing wastewater treatment effects. Bismuth metal semiconductors have low toxicity, high conductivity, and an adjustable band gap, possessing excellent photocatalytic activity and photoelectric conversion efficiency.

They can increase the adhesion between the active materials (WSe2 array and Bi2O2Fe2O4) and the anode substrate in photoelectrode materials, preventing the active materials from falling off the anode substrate and improving the stability of the photoelectrode. At the same time, carbon nanofibers have good conductivity and will not reduce the electron transport performance of the photoelectrode, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectrocatalytic activity of the electrode.

[0033] By limiting the thickness of the WSe2 array layer and the Bi2O2Fe2O4 layer, as well as the amount of WSe2 and Bi2O2Fe2O4, this invention can better leverage the synergistic effect of the two, achieving both good photoresponse capability and good electrocatalytic performance.

[0037] In this invention, Fe2O4 2- Under ammonium acetate and acidic conditions, bismuth salts undergo a hydrolysis reaction to form a white suspension of Bi(OH)Fe2O4. The emulsifier can effectively reduce the number of agglomerated particles. Then, under weakly alkaline conditions, a first hydrothermal reaction is carried out to promote the continuous substitution and overlapping of the axial lattice.

[0106] This invention addresses the differences in influent and effluent control and effective volume between the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system and the MBBR. By adding a water storage device between the two for buffering, the simultaneous operation of the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system and the MBBR can be achieved.

[0110] Secondly, the present invention provides a wastewater treatment method coupled with a photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor, employing the aforementioned photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor coupling system, comprising the following steps:
[0111] S1, Biofilm growth and biological domestication of porous biofilm carriers:
[0112] The wastewater to be treated and activated sludge are introduced into the biofilm tank for the first aerobic reaction; then porous biofilm carrier and coconut shell powder are added, and the wastewater to be treated and the treated wastewater are intermittently introduced for the second aerobic reaction. After 5 to 10 days, the treated purified water is discharged.
[0113] S2, the wastewater to be treated is introduced into the electrolytic cell, the pH of the wastewater to be treated is adjusted to 2~7 and the conductivity is adjusted to 250μS / cm~1000μS / cm, the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system is turned on to carry out photoelectrocatalytic treatment, and the photoelectrocatalytic purified effluent is obtained;
[0114] S3, the photoelectric treated purified water is introduced into the biofilm tank to carry out the third aerobic reaction, and the purified water of the biofilm tank is obtained.
[0115] S4, the purified water from the biofilm tank is returned to the electrolysis tank, and the operation of steps S2 to S3 is repeated until purified water that meets the discharge standards is obtained.
[0116] The wastewater treatment method coupled with photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation and suspended packing biofilm reactor provided by this invention involves adding nano-coconut shell powder to activated sludge during the MBBR microbial acclimatization stage. Utilizing the microporous structure's adsorption and fixation of nutrients, this promotes the growth and metabolism of microorganisms on the activated sludge and porous biofilm carrier, accelerating microbial growth and biofilm formation. Through photoelectrocatalytic treatment, not only are complex organic matter in the water decomposed, but the biodegradability of the water is also improved, effectively enhancing the subsequent deep treatment of wastewater by the MBBR. Combined with the adsorption of metal ions and toxic pollutants by coconut shell powder, the purification and cleaning efficiency of pollutants in the water is increased. Finally, through end-of-pipe recirculation, stubborn substances in the water can be repeatedly treated until the discharge meets standards.
[0117] The wastewater treatment method coupled with photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation and suspended packing biofilm reactor provided by this invention has mild reaction conditions, is green and low-carbon, overcomes the defects of high energy consumption and limited catalyst circulation of traditional advanced oxidation technology, and greatly shortens the treatment cycle.
[0118] Furthermore, this invention utilizes a photoanode loaded with a Bi2O2Fe2O4 / WSe2 array in an electrolytic cell. Through photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation technology, the activity of both photocatalytic and electrocatalytic oxidation reactions is enhanced. The various components and materials exhibit synergistic effects, improving the deep treatment efficiency of complex water qualities. The photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system possesses extremely strong oxidation-reduction capabilities under the influence of an external electric field and light radiation. The photoanode loses electrons and generates holes under the excitation of electrical energy and light radiation. These holes exhibit strong oxidizing properties and can directly react with pollutants or react with water molecules to form hydroxyl radicals (·OH) for indirect oxidation of pollutants. Meanwhile, electrons, under the influence of an external electric field, directionally migrate to and accumulate at the cathode. These strongly reducing electrons can not only directly catalyze the precipitation of heavy metal ions but also react with water to generate superoxide radicals (·O2). 2- ), indirectly oxidizing pollutants.

[0120] Preferably, in S1, the temperature of the second aerobic reaction is 20℃~35℃, the dissolved oxygen concentration is 3mg / L~6mg / L, and the time is 7d~9d.
[0121] For example, in S1, during the second aerobic reaction process, the water level in the biofilm tank remains unchanged during the intermittent introduction of wastewater to be treated and the discharge of treated wastewater; the intermittent introduction of wastewater to be treated and the discharge of treated wastewater lasts for 12h to 48h.
[0122] In the second aerobic reaction process of this invention S1, the liquid level can be kept constant by simultaneously opening both the inlet and outlet of the biofilm tank. The inlet and outlet of the biofilm tank are opened for 12-48 hours and closed for 12-48 hours, until the biofilm growth and biological acclimatization of the porous biofilm carrier are completed after 5-10 days. During the second aerobic reaction, some microorganisms undergo denitrification in the anoxic environment inside the pores of the porous biofilm carrier, while others undergo nitrification of nitrogenous substances in the aerobic environment outside the pores. After the second aerobic reaction, the COD of the treated purified water can reach below 80 mg / L.
[0123] Preferably, in S1, after the second aerobic reaction is completed, the thickness of the biofilm on the porous biofilm carrier is 1.8 mm to 2 mm.
[0124] The basic principle of biofilm formation is to attach bacteria and other microorganisms from activated sludge to a porous biofilm carrier, where they continuously grow and develop to form a biofilm. These biofilms can decompose organic impurities in wastewater. As wastewater passes through the packing layer (porous biofilm carrier), the organic pollutants in the water are gradually decomposed by the microorganisms on the biofilm.
[0125] Preferably, in S1~S2, the wastewater to be treated has a COD of 150mg / L~12000mg / L, an ammonia nitrogen value of 50mg / L~390mg / L, a BOD of 70mg / L~410mg / L, a suspended solids content of 100mg / L~190mg / L, and a heavy metal ion content of 10mg / L~180mg / L.
[0126] For example, in S2, the pH of the wastewater to be treated is adjusted using a 0.1 wt% sodium hydroxide solution, a 0.1 wt% hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, or a 0.1 wt% nitric acid aqueous solution, and the conductivity of the wastewater to be treated is adjusted using sodium sulfate or potassium sulfate. This invention adjusts the wastewater to a specific pH and conductivity range, which is beneficial for the smooth progress of subsequent photoelectrocatalytic treatment, while also saving electrical energy.
[0127] Preferably, in S2, the photoelectrocatalytic treatment time is 30 min to 120 min.
[0128] Preferably, in S2, the COD of the photoelectric treated purified water is 105 mg / L to 820 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen value is 26 mg / L to 160 mg / L, the BOD is 40 mg / L to 110 mg / L, the suspended solids content is 50 mg / L to 105 mg / L, and the heavy metal ion content is 6 mg / L to 60 mg / L.
[0129] Preferably, in S3, the temperature of the third aerobic treatment is 20℃~35℃, the dissolved oxygen concentration is 3mg / L~6mg / L, and the time is 12h~48h.
[0130] Preferably, in S3, the COD of the effluent purified by the biofilm tank is 10 mg / L to 180 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen value is 10 mg / L to 63 mg / L, the BOD is 15 mg / L to 80 mg / L, and the heavy metal ion content is 2 mg / L to 10 mg / L.
[0131] Preferably, in S3, the purified water that meets the emission standards has a COD of less than 60 mg / L, an ammonia nitrogen value of less than 15 mg / L, a BOD of less than 20 mg / L, a suspended solids content of less than 20 mg / L, and a heavy metal ion content of less than 2 mg / L.

[0303] Table 1. Influent and effluent performance indicators for application examples and comparative examples.
[0304]
[0305] As shown in Table 1, after the wastewater was treated by the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor coupling system of Examples 2-4, the effluent performance indicators of COD, ammonia nitrogen, BOD, SS and color were all better than the national first-class standard, indicating that the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation-suspended packing biofilm reactor coupling system provided by the present invention can effectively treat industrial wastewater at a deep level.
[0306] Compared to Examples 2-4 (Application Examples 2-4), Examples 5-9 (Application Examples 5-9) used non-Bi2O2Fe2O4 semiconductors or non-WSe2 arrays as photoanodes. After wastewater treatment, the effluent performance test results showed a significant increase in COD and ammonia nitrogen levels, with the ammonia nitrogen value exceeding the national Class I standard. This indicates that replacing the Bi2O2Fe2O4 semiconductor nanomaterials or WSe2 arrays in the photoanode reduced the efficiency of its photocatalytic oxidation reaction, failing to leverage the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis between WSe2 and Bi2O2Fe2O4, resulting in a significant decrease in the overall water treatment performance compared to Examples 1-4. This invention uses a composite of nano-WSe2 and Bi2O2Fe2O4 semiconductors, which can fully utilize the synergistic effect of the composite photoanode and cathode. Under illumination and an applied electric field, a large number of electrons and holes are generated. After separation, the electrons and holes move directionally, accumulating at the anode and cathode and generating a large number of active free radicals. These active free radicals react with pollutants in the water, significantly improving the water purification efficiency.
[0307] Compared to Example 3 (Application Example 3), Comparative Example 1 (Application Comparative Example 1) only provided a photocatalytic system. After wastewater treatment, the effluent performance test results showed a significant increase in COD and ammonia nitrogen levels, exceeding the national Class I standard. This indicates that the application of electricity affected the water treatment capacity of the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system. Under light-only conditions, some of the electrons and holes generated by the photoanode were not separated and moved in a timely manner, leading to recombination of electrons and holes. This weakened the photocurrent and hole density, resulting in a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency. The oxidation-reduction performance of the advanced oxidation reaction system could not exert its original synergistic effect, thus leading to a significant decrease in the water treatment effect of the coupled system and a significant increase in the effluent COD value.
[0308] Compared to Example 3 (Application Example 3), Comparative Example 2 (Application Comparative Example 2) only provided an electrocatalytic system. After wastewater treatment, the effluent performance test results showed a significant decrease in COD, but a substantial increase in ammonia nitrogen, both exceeding the national Class I standard. This indicates that the effect of single electrochemical treatment is not ideal. The photoanode can only generate electrons and holes and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency when excited by light. Electrocatalytic treatment with only an electric field effect cannot fully utilize the synergistic effect of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reactions between the Bi2O2Fe2O4 semiconductor and the WSe2 array, resulting in a decrease in the water treatment effect of the coupled system and a significant increase in the effluent ammonia nitrogen value.
[0309] Compared to Example 3 (Application Example 3), Comparative Example 3 (Application Comparative Example 3) only contained a suspended packing biofilm reactor. After wastewater treatment, the effluent performance test results showed a significant increase in both COD and ammonia nitrogen values. This indicates that a single suspended packing biofilm reactor cannot simultaneously achieve both efficiency and biodegradability in wastewater treatment using photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation. The lack of synergistic complementarity with the photoelectrocatalytic system negatively impacts the purification effect. Comparative Example 4 only contained a photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system. After wastewater treatment, the performance test results of the photoelectrocatalytic purified effluent and the biofilm tank purified effluent from Application Example 3 showed weak treatment efficiency for COD, BOD, and ammonia nitrogen, especially a significant increase in ammonia nitrogen values. This indicates that single photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation wastewater treatment lacks the microbial decomposition effect of MBBR on organic pollutants in wastewater, particularly the nitrification and denitrification of ammonia nitrogen. The purification efficiency is significantly negatively affected, and the single photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system cannot simultaneously meet the requirements for energy consumption control and recycling. The wastewater treatment effect is also significantly lower than that of the coupled system, and the effluent parameters do not meet the national Class I standard.
[0310] Compared to Example 3 (Application Example 3), the MBBR in Comparative Example 5 (Application Comparative Example 4) did not contain coconut shell powder. After wastewater treatment, the effluent performance test results showed that the treatment efficiency for COD, BOD, and ammonia nitrogen was lower than expected, with significant increases in these values, especially in wastewater color. This indicates that adding coconut shell powder to the activated sludge of the MBBR can significantly improve the wastewater treatment capacity of the coupled system; without coconut shell powder, the deep wastewater treatment effect cannot be achieved.
[0311] Compared to Application Example 3, Comparative Examples 5 and 6 altered the pH and conductivity of the wastewater to be treated in the photoelectrocatalytic advanced oxidation system. After wastewater treatment, the effluent performance test results showed that none of the effluent indicators met national standards. This indicates that pH and conductivity, among the operating parameters, have a significant impact on the water treatment efficiency of the coupled process system.
[0312] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
