Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular relates to a method for synchronously removing heavy metals and pollutants in aquaculture wastewater by utilizing copper stress to drive bacteria and algae granular sludge granulation. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing development of aquaculture, the pollution problems it brings are also receiving more and more attention. In recent years, China has become the world's largest aquaculture country, with a total aquaculture output accounting for 2 / 3 of the world's output and an annual discharge of more than 300 million tons of tail water. Moreover, more than 80% of my country's aquaculture industry adopts pond farming, and excessive use of feed and drugs in the breeding process leads to a large amount of nutrients, heavy metals, drugs and other pollutants discharged into the water body. This intensive development model brings huge pollution to aquaculture water bodies. If this tail water is discharged directly without treatment, it will cause eutrophication of the surrounding water bodies and excessive concentration of heavy metals.
[0003] In recent years, there have been many reports on heavy metals in the environment. Various heavy metals have been detected in surface water, groundwater and sewage treatment plants. Heavy metals in aquaculture tailwater mainly come from vitamins in feed, pipeline corrosion and algaecide and antibacterial agents, such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni) and selenium (Se), of which zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) account for more than 80%. A large number of studies have shown that heavy metals are easily accumulated in sediments in water bodies, but if released into water, they will accumulate along the food chain, which is potentially harmful to humans and the ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to use appropriate treatment processes to reduce the heavy metal content in aquaculture tailwater.
[0004] At present, the treatment process of freshwater aquaculture wastewater mainly adopts microbial method, which is more environmentally friendly and low-cost compared with other methods. These include the "three ponds and two dams" treatment mode, artificial wetland mode and pond internal enclosure mode, and many places mainly adopt the "three ponds and two dams" treatment mode, but this mode has problems such as unsatisfactory nitrogen and phosphorus removal effect, large land occupation, and greater seasonal influence, and it is difficult to effectively remove heavy metals. Therefore, more efficient and cost-effective methods for treating aquaculture wastewater are now sought.
[0005] In recent years, algal-bacterial aerobic granular sludge (ABGS) has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages such as more compact microbial structure, excellent sedimentation performance, ability to simultaneously achieve nitrification and denitrification processes, and strong resistance to high-concentration organic matter. Therefore, it is regarded as a strong candidate to replace traditional activated sludge. ABGS produces oxygen through the absorption of organic matter in water by microalgae and carbon dioxide released by bacteria, thereby reducing aeration intensity, improving the removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus, and reducing aeration volume and operating costs of sewage treatment plants. In addition, the complex biological structure and multiple synergistic mechanisms of ABGS make it show good application prospects in the removal of heavy metal pollutants. At present, studies have found that ABGS can effectively remove pollutants in aquaculture wastewater (Ji, B.; Fan, S.; Liu, Y., A continuous-flow non-aerated microalgal-bacterial granular sludge process for aquaculture wastewater treatment under natural day-night conditions. Bioresour. Technol. 2022, 350, 126914.), but the COD content in its simulated wastewater is much higher than that in the actual wastewater, and the pollutants in the water are relatively single, without heavy metals, and have little reference value for practical applications. Therefore, our performance in the treatment of Cu-containing low-nutrient aquaculture wastewater by ABGS is still blank. This application adopts concentrations of pollutants and heavy metal Cu that are closer to real wastewater, and studies are carried out through actual wastewater to achieve the stability of the bacterial and algal granular sludge morphology and maintain high pollutant removal efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention provides a method for synchronously removing heavy metals and pollutants from aquaculture wastewater by driving the granulation of bacteria and algae granular sludge under copper stress. The present invention constructs a bacteria and algae granular sludge system, and finds that when the bacteria and algae granular sludge faces low concentrations of copper, the surface filamentous algae are inhibited, the granular sludge morphology is stable, the sedimentation performance is improved, and the granulation enters the next stage. At the same time, under the stress of Cu, a large number of denitrifying bacteria and bacterial communities related to the removal of organic matter are enriched, and the removal of organic matter and total nitrogen in low carbon-nitrogen ratio and low nutrient aquaculture wastewater is enhanced. When the SBR photoreactor is in operation and is inhibited by low nutrition and heavy metals, the constructed bacteria and algae granular sludge system has stronger resistance and degradation efficiency.
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] The method for simultaneously removing heavy metals and pollutants from aquaculture wastewater by using copper stress to drive bacterial and algal granular sludge granulation comprises the following steps:
[0009] (1) Start-up of the reactor:
[0010] ① Cultivation of bacteria-algae granular sludge: The activated sludge from the aerobic tank of the sewage treatment plant is inoculated into the reactor for aerobic cultivation, and simulated domestic sewage and trace element dilution solution are added through the water inlet pipe; to meet the needs of algae growth, LED lamps are installed on the outside of the reactor and operate in an environment of simulated daylight, and the light-dark ratio of the system parameters is controlled to be 12h:12h; aeration is carried out through the aeration plate at the bottom of the reactor, and the aeration flow rate is adjusted; this operation is carried out until the algae and bacteria are entangled and combined to form bacteria-algae granular sludge with a regular elliptical shape.
[0011] ② Start the first stage: take out part of the bacteria and algae granular sludge obtained in ① and put it into the SBR reactor for cultivation. The influent is still simulated domestic sewage (with the same composition as the simulated domestic sewage in step 1). No Cu is added in the first stage, which lasts for about 15 days to allow the bacteria and algae granular sludge to adapt to the new reactor environment. The inlet and outlet water indicators are tested every day until the COD and TN removal rates are stable.
[0012] ③ Domestication of bacteria and algae granular sludge: When the COD conversion rate is above 90% and the average TN conversion rate reaches 65%, the artificial aquaculture tail water is introduced into the reactor, and heavy metals are added to the artificial synthetic waste water, and the process conditions are adjusted to enter the second stage of startup; the second stage mainly carries out the domestication stage of aquaculture tail water containing heavy metals by using bacteria and algae granular sludge to treat the aquaculture tail water, which lasts for 1 to 2 months; among them, the influent containing nitrogen source, carbon source, NaHCO3, KH2PO4 and heavy metal Cu enters the reactor and begins the domestication stage of bacteria and algae granular sludge. In this stage, the concentration of heavy metal Cu in the influent is 0.5 mg / L, and the mass concentration ratio of COD to nitrogen in the influent is 5, so as to achieve the purpose of microbial domestication, thereby completing the startup of the reactor; in order to ensure that the influent water quality does not change too much, the influent is replaced every day.

[0027] Principle of the present invention: The basic principle of the bacteria-algae symbiotic system for treating sewage is that organic pollutants in sewage are oxidized and decomposed by aerobic bacteria to produce ammonium salts, phosphates and CO2, etc.; while algae use ammonium salts, phosphates and CO2 as nutrients, sunlight as energy, photosynthesis through chlorophyll, synthesize algae's own cell substances, and release oxygen for bacteria to continue to oxidize organic matter. At the same time, the bacteria-algae granular sludge has a complex multi-layer structure, which is divided into anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic layers, and the surface is covered by algae. This multi-layer structure has a positive effect on the adsorption of heavy metals. The bacteria-algae granular sludge adsorbs heavy metals in the particles through electrostatic action. Most of the heavy metals in the particles are converted into more stable components through ion exchange and chemical precipitation, and a small part is absorbed and utilized by cells or complexed with organic matter to form a more stable form, thereby achieving effective removal of heavy metals. During this process, a large number of algae in the bacterial-algal granular sludge were inhibited or poisoned, but the sedimentation performance of ABGS was improved, which promoted the acceleration of the granulation process and greatly increased the enrichment of some denitrifying bacteria, making up for the lack of algae's pollution removal ability, thereby maintaining the stability of the ABGS system operation and achieving efficient removal of Cu-containing aquaculture wastewater.

The bacterial algae granular sludge realizes efficient removal of Cu through methods such as biological adsorption, ion exchange, chemical precipitation and biological transformation. For 0.5 mg / L Cu, the removal rate is more than 80% within a hydraulic retention time of 6 hours, reaching the heavy metal emission limit. Under the environmental stress of Cu and low carbon ratio, it can still maintain a COD removal rate of 90%, ammonia nitrogen removal rate of 100% and a TN removal rate of more than 75%. The enrichment ratio of some denitrifying bacteria reaches more than 40%, achieving a preliminary denitrification effect. It is a technical method for removing heavy metals in aquaculture tail water with good promotion and application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0039] Example 1: Establishment of a stable process environment for treating aquaculture wastewater based on bacterial and algal granular sludge
[0040] (1) Start the reactor:
[0041] Cultivation of bacteria and algae granular sludge: The activated sludge from the aerobic pool of Guangzhou Datansha Sewage Treatment Plant was inoculated into a sequencing batch reactor for aerobic cultivation, and a dilution solution containing nitrogen source, carbon source, magnesium chloride, NaHCO3, KH2PO4 and trace elements was added through the water inlet pipe to simulate domestic sewage. The nitrogen source concentration in the simulated domestic sewage was 30mg / L, the carbon source concentration was 300mg / L-COD, the inorganic phosphorus concentration was 5mg / L, and the NaHCO3 concentration was 250mg / L. The process operating conditions in this stage are as follows: the hydraulic retention time of the reactor is 6 hours, the inlet and outlet water are controlled by a peristaltic pump at the end of each cycle, the inlet volume is 1.2L, the volume exchange rate is 50%, 4 hours of aerobic aeration, 2 hours of anaerobic standing, the aeration intensity is 0.8-1.2cm / s, the reaction temperature is 20-35℃, the inlet pH is 7.5-8.0, the light intensity is 6000lux, and the light-dark time is 12h:12h. It is operated in this way until the algae and bacteria are entangled and combined to form a regular elliptical bacterial-algae granular sludge.
[0042] Start the first stage: take out part of the cultured algae granular sludge and place it in the SBR reactor for cultivation. The influent is still simulated domestic sewage. No Cu is added in the first stage. The time is about 15 days, so that the algae granular sludge can adapt to the new reactor environment. The influent and effluent indicators are tested every day until the COD and TN removal rates are stable. The process operating conditions of this stage are: the hydraulic retention time of the reactor is 6h, the influent and effluent are controlled by a peristaltic pump at the end of each cycle, the influent volume is 1.2L, the volume exchange rate is 50%, 4h aerobic aeration, 2h anaerobic standing, aeration intensity of 0.4cm / s, reaction temperature of 20-35℃, influent pH of 7.5-8.0, light intensity of 3000lux, and light-dark time of 12h:12h.
[0043] Domestication of bacteria-algae granular sludge: Add part of the initial bacteria-algae granular sludge to the sequencing batch reactor to make the sludge concentration in the reactor 4.25g / L, and adjust the pH of the reaction system to 7.5-8.0. In order to meet the needs of microbial growth, trace element dilution solution is added to the inlet water, and 1.2L of artificial synthetic aquaculture wastewater is introduced into the reactor through the inlet pipe by a peristaltic pump for sludge domestication. At the same time, Cu is added to domesticate the microorganisms to adapt to the low-nutrient, low-carbon-nitrogen ratio environment and improve their microbial activity. The time is 1 to 2 months. The synthetic wastewater contains nitrogen source, carbon source, KH2PO4, and NaHCO3; the nitrogen source is provided by NaNO3 and NH4Cl, and the initial concentrations of nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in the synthetic aquaculture wastewater are 25 and 8 mg / L respectively; the carbon source is provided by NaAC, and the COD concentration is about 150 mg / L; the KH2PO4 is a phosphorus source, and NaHCO3 is used as a pH buffer. The concentrations of inorganic phosphorus and NaHCO3 in the influent are 2 mg / L and 250 mg / L respectively, and the concentration of Cu is 0.5 mg / L. In order to ensure that the influent water quality does not change too much, the influent water is replaced every day. The process operating conditions of this stage are as follows: the hydraulic retention time of the reactor is 6h, the inlet and outlet water are controlled by a peristaltic pump at the end of each cycle, the inlet volume is 1.2L, the volume exchange rate is 50%, 4h aerobic aeration, 2h anaerobic standing, aeration intensity is 0.4cm / s, reaction temperature is 20-35℃, inlet pH is 7.5-8.0, light intensity is 3000lux, light-dark time is 12h:12h, and the mass concentration ratio of COD and nitrogen in the inlet water is 5.
[0044] (2) Establishment of stable operation of wastewater treatment system:
[0045] After the reactor is started, trace element dilution is introduced. To meet the needs of microbial growth, trace element dilution is added to the influent. 1.2L of artificial synthetic aquaculture wastewater is introduced into the reactor through the inlet pipe by a peristaltic pump. At the same time, heavy metal pollutants are added to the influent to make the concentration of heavy metal pollutants in the influent 0.5mg / L. The mass concentration ratio of COD and nitrogen in the influent is maintained at 5, and the nitrogen source, carbon source and heavy metal pollutants in the influent are removed; when the COD conversion rate is 90%, the TN conversion rate is above 75%, and the average removal rate of Cu is 80%, the enhanced process of removing heavy metal pollutants with algae granular sludge is completed, and then a stable process environment for removing heavy metals in water based on algae granular sludge is established. In order to ensure that the influent water quality does not change too much, the influent is replaced every day. The process operating conditions of this step are: the hydraulic retention time of the reactor is 6 hours, the inlet and outlet water are controlled by a peristaltic pump at the end of each cycle, the water inlet volume is 1.2L, the volume exchange rate is 50%, 4 hours of aerobic aeration, 2 hours of anaerobic standing, the aeration intensity is 0.4cm / s, the reaction temperature is 20-35°C, the inlet pH is 7.5-8.0, and the light-dark time is 12h:12h.
[0046] The photosequential batch reactor described in the embodiment is the most important processing unit in this process. The reactor body is made of plexiglass, with an inner diameter of 70 mm, a total height of 700 mm, and a total effective volume of 2.4 L. The inlet water is prepared by artificial simulation and replaced every day to ensure that the water quality does not change too much. It is transported to the reactor by a peristaltic pump to contact and react with the bacterial and algal granular sludge, and the effluent flows out from the outlet pipe.
[0047] Example 2: Effect of removing Cu from actual aquaculture wastewater by bacterial-algal granular sludge reactor and effect of Cu stress on promoting granulation
[0048] The stable process system for removing heavy metal pollutants from aquaculture wastewater based on bacteria and algae granular sludge in Example 1 was operated in stages for 150 days from establishment to stabilization. Among them, in the first stage (0-15d), the concentration of Cu in the influent is 0 mg / L, and the influent is artificial synthetic domestic sewage; in the second stage (16-100d), the concentration of Cu in the influent is increased to 0.5 mg / L, and the influent is artificial aquaculture wastewater; in the third stage (101-150d), the concentration of Cu in the influent is maintained at 0.5 mg / L, and the influent becomes actual aquaculture wastewater with a COD concentration of 80-150 mg / L, a TN concentration of 12-30 mg / L, and a TP concentration of less than 1 mg / L; other conditions remain unchanged. During the operation of the system, the process operating conditions are: the hydraulic retention time of the reactor is 6h, the inlet and outlet water are controlled by a peristaltic pump at the end of each cycle, the inlet volume is 1.2L, the volume exchange rate is 50%, 4h aerobic aeration, 2h anaerobic standing, aeration intensity is 0.4cm / s, reaction temperature is 20-35℃, inlet pH is 7.5-8.0, and the light and dark time is 12h:12h.
[0049] In the above reaction system, 10 mL of water was taken from the water bucket at the beginning of water inflow and 10 mL of water was taken from the water bucket at the end of water inflow. The water was filtered into a 10 mL sample tube using a 0.22 μm PTFE filter and stored in a 4 °C refrigerator. The Cu was detected and analyzed by UV spectrophotometer on the same day. 2+ Changes in content.
[0050] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The Cu of synthetic aquaculture wastewater and actual aquaculture wastewater are 2+ The removal effect diagram of bacteria-algae granular sludge in the bacteria-algae granular sludge photoreactor. As can be seen from the figure, the bacteria-algae granular sludge still has a good removal effect on Cu in the real environment, and the average removal rate reaches more than 75%.
[0051] Figure 4 and Figure 5These are the COD and TN removal effects of bacterial and algal granular sludge on aquaculture wastewater containing Cu and without Cu (R-Cu is aquaculture wastewater containing copper, and R-Control is aquaculture wastewater without Cu). Figure 4 and 5 As shown, exposure to Cu has almost no effect on the pollution removal ability of bacterial algae granular sludge, indicating that it has strong anti-toxicity and adaptability. In the simulated wastewater, the TN removal rate of bacterial algae granular sludge gradually increased from 55.77% to about 78% and remained stable, with a growth rate of 23%.
[0052] also, Figure 6 The graphs showing the changes in the settling performance of the two groups of bacterial and algal granular sludge are shown in Figure 2. Figure 7 Microscope and SEM morphology of algae granular sludge in aquatic wastewater containing Cu and without Cu. It can be clearly observed that the sedimentation performance of algae granular sludge gradually improved under the stress of Cu, while the group without Cu showed a slight sludge swelling phenomenon during the operation of the reactor, and SVI5 was even twice that of R-Cu. Figure 7 It can be found that there are obvious differences between the two groups of particles. The surface of R-Control particles is covered with a large number of green filamentous algae. Scanning electron microscopy shows that its surface is rough with a large number of spherical protrusions. In contrast, the surface of R-Cu particles is smoother and denser, and under the scanning electron microscope, it is more compact and has no algae coverage. This result shows that Cu exposure has a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of algae on the surface of bacterial and algal granular sludge, thereby inhibiting the sludge expansion phenomenon and improving the sedimentation performance. Figure 8 The ratio of live and dead bacteria in algae granular sludge is shown. The green part is live bacteria and the red part is dead bacteria. It can be seen that under the stress of Cu, although the ratio of live bacteria in algae granular sludge is slightly lower than that in R-Control, it still maintains this higher ratio of live and dead bacteria, indicating that it has a strong tolerance to Cu toxicity, which may also be the internal reason for the R-Cu group to maintain stable operation of the system and particle stability. Table 1 further analyzes the reaction mechanism of microorganisms under Cu poisoning through enzyme activity comparison. It is found that the higher ROS and lower SOD activity in R-Cu indicate that it is in a state of oxidative stress, and the higher LDH and lower ATP content also indicate that its cell metabolic function is damaged to a certain extent. However, combined with the stability of pollutant removal efficiency and sedimentation performance of algae granular sludge in the previous article, it can be analyzed that some microorganisms in R-Cu that are not resistant to Cu poisoning have reduced death, including surface filamentous microorganisms that affect particle stability and sedimentation performance, which explains the internal mechanism of further granulation of granular sludge under Cu stress. In summary, the use of bacteria-algae granular sludge system to treat Cu-containing low-carbon aquaculture wastewater has the ability to operate stably for a long time and resist metal poisoning and sludge swelling.

A method for synchronously removing heavy metals and pollutants from aquaculture wastewater by using copper stress to drive bacterial and algal granular sludge granulation, characterized in that: The specific steps are: (1) Cultivation of bacteria-algae granular sludge: The activated sludge is inoculated into the SBR reactor for aerobic cultivation, and the culture is carried out using simulated domestic sewage and trace element dilution liquid, and the process is operated until bacteria-algae granular sludge with a regular elliptical shape is formed; the reactor is equipped with an LED lamp outside and operated in an environment simulating sunlight; aeration is performed through an aeration plate at the bottom of the reactor; (2) Acclimation of bacteria-algae granular sludge: Part of the bacteria-algae granular sludge obtained by culture in step (1) is taken out and placed in an SBR reactor. In the first stage, no Cu(II) is added, and the influent is still the simulated domestic sewage. The light intensity and aeration intensity are reduced to allow the bacteria-algae granular sludge to adapt to the new reactor environment. The operation time is 10-15 days. In the second stage, the influent is replaced with artificial synthetic aquaculture wastewater, and 0.4-0.6 mg / LCu(II) is added. The reactor is operated for 1-2 months to enable it to effectively adapt to the low carbon-nitrogen ratio environment under low light and aeration. At the same time, under the exposure of Cu(II), the growth of filamentous algae on the surface of the granular sludge is inhibited, the sedimentation of the granular sludge is improved, and the mud-water separation effect is enhanced, thereby improving the reactor treatment efficiency and further reducing the output of excess sludge.
