Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and particularly to a sewage treatment process for the pulp and paper industry. Background Art
[0002] In the sewage treatment of the pulp and paper industry, the dewatering treatment of sludge and the removal of ammonia nitrogen are key links. The sludge contains a large amount of organic matter, cellulose, and other difficult-to-degrade substances, making the sludge have a high water content, increasing the treatment difficulty. In addition, the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the pulp and paper wastewater fluctuates greatly, affecting the compliance of the effluent quality.
[0003] Most traditional sludge treatment methods adopt methods such as gravity thickening, mechanical dewatering, and chemical agent-assisted dewatering. In the thickening stage, most of the water is removed through gravity thickening or air flotation thickening to initially reduce the sludge volume. Subsequently, mechanical dewatering equipment such as belt filter presses, centrifuges, or screw filter presses is used to further remove water to achieve mud-water separation. Some treatment schemes also add chemical agents, such as coagulants or flocculants, to help strengthen the sedimentation and aggregation of solid particles in the sludge, thereby improving the dewatering efficiency and alleviating the problem of high sludge water content to a certain extent.
[0004] However, the operation cost of mechanical dewatering equipment is high, and the maintenance frequency is high. For the high fiber content in pulp and paper sludge, the equipment is easily damaged and the maintenance cost is high. Moreover, the effects of gravity thickening and chemical agent-assisted dewatering are also affected by the fluctuation of sludge composition, resulting in unstable treatment effects. In addition, the frequent replenishment of chemical agents not only increases the treatment cost but may also cause secondary pollution. For the removal of ammonia nitrogen, traditional methods mainly rely on the continuous aeration mode in the biological treatment system. However, due to the large fluctuation of ammonia nitrogen concentration, the fixed aeration intensity is difficult to meet the actual needs, resulting in high energy consumption, poor system stability, and unstable treatment effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sewage treatment process for the pulp and paper industry to solve such problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above existing problems, the present invention is proposed.
[0006] The present invention provides a sewage treatment process for the pulp and paper industry to solve the problems that the operation cost of mechanical dewatering equipment is high, the maintenance frequency is high, for the high fiber content in pulp and paper sludge, the equipment is easily damaged and the maintenance cost is high, and the effects of gravity thickening and chemical agent-assisted dewatering are also affected by the fluctuation of sludge composition, resulting in unstable treatment effects. In addition, the frequent replenishment of chemical agents not only increases the treatment cost but may also cause secondary pollution.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] The present invention provides a sewage treatment process for the pulp and paper industry, which includes:
[0009] Step S1, sewage pretreatment

[0012] Perform biological treatment on the sewage pretreated in Step S1, and use the staged aeration method to remove high-concentration organic matter and ammonia nitrogen.
[0013] Step S3, sludge thickening predictive control
[0014] The sludge after biological treatment enters the thickening stage. Use predictive control based on the random forest algorithm to perform real-time analysis on the moisture content, solid content and rheological properties of the sludge, and intelligently adjust the thickening stirring intensity and thickening time.
[0015] Step S4, sludge dewatering adjustment control
[0016] The sludge thickened in Step S3 enters the dewatering link. Real-time monitor the moisture content and solid content of the sludge, and adjust the pressure, rotation speed and chemical dosage of the dewatering equipment in combination with the simulated annealing SA algorithm.
[0017] Step S5, sludge reduction and resource utilization
[0018] Perform reduction and resource treatment on the dewatered sludge, and recommend corresponding resource treatment methods according to the organic content, calorific value and heavy metal concentration of the sludge.
[0019] Furthermore, in Step S1, sewage monitoring and data collection are carried out. Specifically:
[0020] Set up a water quality sensor to monitor the suspended solid concentration, flow rate and water temperature of the sewage in real time, and construct a dynamic adjustment model for the chemical dosage to calculate the chemical dosage:

It is the integral term of the historical error, representing the cumulative error of the suspended solid concentration from the start time to the current time t.
[0022] Furthermore, in step S1, dynamically adjust the chemical dosage:
[0023] Based on the sensor, obtain the suspended solid concentration, flow rate, and water temperature at the current time, set the target concentration, and calculate the historical error term When the suspended solid concentration fluctuates, it gradually approaches the target value to avoid large fluctuations; according to the real-time data and the historical error term, use the PID control algorithm to dynamically adjust the parameters (α, β, γ) of the chemical dosage.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S2, based on the real-time data obtained by the water quality sensor in step S1, combined with the reinforcement learning RL algorithm, continuously adjust the aeration intensity and time based on the changes in ammonia nitrogen concentration and organic load.
[0025] Furthermore, in step S2, the way of segmented aeration biological treatment is:
[0026] Based on the real-time water quality data monitored in step S1, use it as the input of the reinforcement learning algorithm. Divide the aeration process into pre-aeration, main aeration, and post-aeration. Aerate for different ammonia nitrogen concentrations and organic loads in each stage. The aeration intensity and time in each stage are defined as:
[0027] Among them, P aer (t) represents the aeration intensity at the current time t, represents the ammonia nitrogen concentration at the current time t, BOD(t) represents the organic load at the current time t, Q in (t) represents the sewage flow rate at the current time t, T(t) represents the water temperature at the current time t, α, β, γ represent empirical adjustment parameters, which control the influence of various factors on the aeration intensity and need to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0028] Optimize the aeration intensity P aer (t) and the aeration time T aer (t), adjust the ammonia nitrogen removal effect. The objective function of the reinforcement learning model is:
[0029] Among them, R total (t) represents the total reward value at the current time t, represents the ammonia nitrogen concentration at the current time t, BOD(t) represents the organic load at the current time t, C targetDenotes the target ammonia nitrogen concentration, which is the maximum allowable concentration, BOD tar get Denotes the target organic load, P aer (t) denotes the aeration intensity at the current time t, T aer (t) denotes the aeration time at the current time t. λ1, λ2, and λ3 denote weight coefficients. Based on the RL algorithm, the aeration intensity and time are adjusted according to the environmental state to ultimately maximize the reward R total (t), that is, minimize the degree of deviation of ammonia nitrogen and organic load from the target values.
[0030] Furthermore, in step S2, the method of segmented aeration biological treatment further includes:
[0031] Update the aeration strategy: Among them, Q(s t ,a t ) represents the Q value of the current state s t and action a t , representing the expected total reward for executing action a t under state s t , R total (t) represents the total reward value at the current time t. α represents the learning rate, which controls the response speed of the algorithm to new information. γ represents the discount factor, which represents the weight of future rewards. s t represents the system state at the current time t, including water quality data, a t represents the action taken at the current time t, that is, the adjusted aeration intensity and time. During the continuous interaction with the system environment, update Q(s t ,a t ) value to optimize the aeration operation;
[0032] According to the optimization of the RL strategy, the final aeration control formula is:
[0033] Among them, ΔQ(s t ,a t ) represents the adjustment amount calculated by the RL algorithm, representing the adjustment of the aeration intensity relative to the previous moment for the current decision.
[0034] Furthermore, in step S3, sludge thickening and predictive control are performed:
[0035] Build a random forest model to predict the sludge characteristics: Y(t) = f(X(t), θ) + ∈(t), where Y(t) represents the predicted results of the sludge physical characteristics at the current time t, including moisture content, solid content, and rheological characteristics, X(t) represents the set of operating parameters at the current time t, f(X(t), θ) represents the prediction function based on the operating parameters and the random forest algorithm, the learned model function, θ represents the parameters of the model, and ∈(t) represents the model error, that is, the prediction error;
[0036] Obtain the sludge physical characteristics and operating parameters in real time, use the random forest algorithm to predict the moisture content, solid content, and rheological characteristics in real time, and then based on the prediction results, adjust the concentration stirring intensity and concentration time. The control formula is: P stir (t) = α1·W(t) + α2·S(t) + α3·R(t) + β·Q sludge (t) + γ·T conc (t), T conc (t) = δ1·W(t) + δ2·S(t) + δ3·R(t) + ∈·Q sludge (t), where P stir (t) represents the stirring intensity at the current time t, T conc (t) represents the concentration time at the current time t, which is determined by the sludge physical characteristics and flow rate. W(t) represents the moisture content at the current time t, S(t) represents the solid content at the current time t, R(t) represents the rheological characteristics at the current time t, Q sludge (t) represents the sludge flow rate at the current time t, T conc (t) represents the concentration time. α1, α2, α3, β, γ, δ1, δ2, δ3 represent the adjustment coefficients of the model, which are used to adjust the influence of each parameter on the stirring intensity and concentration time.
[0037] Furthermore, in step S3, according to the sludge physical characteristics predicted in real time, adjust the stirring intensity and concentration time:
[0038] J(t) = λ1·(W tar get - W(t)) 2 + λ2·(S tar get - S(t)) 2 + λ3·(R tar get - R(t)) 2 + λ4·P stir (t) + λ5·T conc (t), where J(t) represents the optimization objective function at the current time t, that is, the deviation between the target state and the actual state and the operating cost, W tar get , S tar get , R tar getDenote the target sludge characteristic value, and let λ1, λ2, λ3, λ4, λ5 represent the weight coefficients, balance the relationship between sludge characteristic optimization and operating cost, minimize the objective function J(t), and optimize the stirring intensity and thickening time;
[0039] According to the results in the optimization process, the final thickening process control formula is:
[0040] P stir (t) = α1·W(t) + α2·S(t) + α3·R(t) + β·Q sludge (t) + γ·T conc (t),
[0041] T conc (t) = δ1·W(t) + δ2·S(t) + δ3·R(t) + ∈·Q sludge (t).
[0042] Furthermore, in step S4, based on the real-time monitored sludge moisture content and solid content, the simulated annealing SA algorithm is used to adjust the parameters of the dehydration equipment:
[0043] Define the optimization objective function J(t) to describe the sludge dehydration effect. The goal is to minimize the moisture content of the sludge. The form of the objective function is: J(t) = w1·H(t) + w2·E(t) + w3·T(t), where H(t) represents the sludge moisture content at time point t, E(t) represents the energy consumption of the dehydration equipment at time point t, T(t) represents the total duration of the dehydration process, and w1, w2, w3 represent the weight coefficients;
[0044] Through the simulated annealing process, search for the optimal solution in the global solution space. The steps include:
[0045] Set the initial solutions P(0), N(0), C(0), and calculate the initial objective function value J(0). Based on the current solution, randomly adjust P(t), N(t), and C(t) to generate new solutions P′(t), N′(t), C′(t). According to the new operating parameters, calculate the new objective function value J′(t);
[0046] Decide whether to accept the new solution according to the change of the objective function value. The acceptance probability of the new solution is P accept :
[0047] where J′(t) represents the new objective function value, J(t) represents the current objective function value, T(t) represents the current temperature, which gradually decreases with the iteration. The "temperature" in simulated annealing represents the amplitude of exploring the new solution space;
[0048] According to P acceptThe value determines whether to accept the new solution. If J′(t) is smaller, or a worse solution is accepted with a certain probability, then update P(t), N(t), and C(t) to P′(t), N′(t), and C′(t);
[0049] With each iteration, the temperature T(t) gradually decreases, T(t) = T0·α t , where T0 represents the initial temperature, α represents the attenuation coefficient, and here t represents the current iteration number; when the temperature T(t) is less than the set threshold or the change in the objective function value is less than a certain threshold, terminate the algorithm and output the final parameter combinations P(t), N(t), and C(t).
[0050] Furthermore, in step S5, sludge reduction is carried out:
[0051] Define the comprehensive optimization objective function G(t). The goal is to minimize the environmental risk during the treatment process and maximize the resource recovery efficiency. The objective function is:
[0052] G(t) = w1·O(t) + w2·H(t) + w3·R(t) + w4·M(t), where O(t) represents the organic matter content of the sludge at time t, H(t) represents the calorific value of the sludge, R(t) represents the resource recovery rate, M(t) represents the heavy metal concentration, and w1, w2, w3, w4 represent the weight coefficients;
[0053] The goal is to minimize G(t). During the sludge resource utilization process, the recovery of organic matter and energy is given priority, and at the same time, the risk of heavy metals is controlled;
[0054] Estimate the relationship between the calorific value of the sludge and the recovery of organic matter, H(t) = α·O(t) + β, where α represents the correlation coefficient between the calorific value and the organic matter content, and β represents the basic calorific value of the sludge. Adjust the recovery of organic matter to optimize the calorific value increase;
[0055] Take the heavy metal concentration as an optimization constraint condition, and define the heavy metal risk control function M(t) as a limiting term in the treatment process. The heavy metal concentration does not exceed the environmental protection standard, that is, M(t) ≤ M limit where M(t) represents the heavy metal concentration of the sludge at time t, and M limit represents the environmental protection concentration standard of heavy metals;
[0056] Define the resource recovery rate: R(t) = γ·H(t) - δ·M(t), where γ represents the calorific value recovery efficiency coefficient and δ represents the heavy metal influence coefficient;
[0057] Based on the optimization objective function G(t) and the constraints, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to evaluate and select each sludge resource utilization plan. During each iteration process, the parameters of the treatment plan are adjusted. Finally, according to the above optimization process, the best resource utilization plan is selected.
[0058] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0059] In the present invention, a dynamic adjustment algorithm and a PID control mechanism are adopted to monitor the suspended solid concentration, flow rate and water temperature in real time. The chemical dosage can be automatically adjusted to stabilize the concentration near the target value, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of frequent adjustment or excessive dosing of chemicals in the traditional method, reducing the waste of chemical agents, and at the same time improving the stability and effect of sewage treatment.
[0060] In the present invention, a reinforcement learning RL algorithm is introduced to adjust the aeration intensity and time in real time, control the ammonia nitrogen concentration, and remove the organic load. The RL algorithm can continuously optimize the aeration strategy according to the changes in ammonia nitrogen concentration and organic load, so as to maximize the removal efficiency, while avoiding over-aeration and unnecessary energy consumption.
[0061] In the present invention, predictive control based on a random forest algorithm is adopted to analyze the physical properties of sludge in real time, including moisture content, solid content and rheological properties, and dynamically adjust the concentration stirring intensity and concentration time, overcoming the challenges brought by the changes in sludge properties.
[0062] In the present invention, a simulated annealing algorithm SA is introduced to search for the optimal solution in the global solution space and optimize the working parameters of the dewatering equipment, including pressure, rotation speed and chemical dosage, significantly improving the dewatering efficiency. At the same time, a comprehensive optimization objective function is introduced, combined with the weight coefficients of organic matter content, calorific value and heavy metal concentration, and different resource utilization treatment plans are evaluated based on a multi-objective optimization algorithm, effectively balancing the organic matter recovery, calorific value improvement and heavy metal concentration control, reducing waste emissions, and improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0068] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a sewage treatment process for the pulp and paper industry, including the following steps:
[0069] Step S1, sewage pretreatment,
[0070] Adopt a combined process of air flotation and gravity sedimentation to remove large particle impurities, fibers, and suspended solids in the sewage.

Combining with the PID control algorithm, the suspended solid concentration in the sewage can be stabilized within the target range. Through PID control, large fluctuations in the dosing amount are avoided, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the treatment process.
[0077] Step S2, stepwise aeration biological treatment
[0078] The sewage pretreated in step S1 is subjected to biological treatment, and the stepwise aeration method is used to remove high-concentration organic matter and ammonia nitrogen.
[0079] In step S2, based on the real-time data obtained by the water quality sensor in step S1, combined with the reinforcement learning RL algorithm, the aeration intensity and time are continuously adjusted based on the changes in ammonia nitrogen concentration and organic load.
[0080] In step S2, the method of stepwise aeration biological treatment is as follows:
[0081] Based on the real-time water quality data monitored in step S1, which is used as the input of the reinforcement learning algorithm, the aeration process is divided into pre-aeration, main aeration, and post-aeration.

[0090] Step S3, sludge thickening predictive control,
[0091] The biologically treated sludge enters the thickening stage. Predictive control based on the random forest algorithm is used to perform real-time analysis on the moisture content, solid content, and rheological properties of the sludge, and intelligently adjust the thickening stirring intensity and thickening time.
[0092] In step S3, sludge thickening and predictive control are carried out:
[0093] A random forest model is constructed to predict the sludge characteristics: Y(t) = f(X(t), θ) + ∈(t), where Y(t) represents the predicted result of the sludge physical characteristics at the current time t, including moisture content, solid content, and rheological properties, X(t) represents the set of operating parameters at the current time t, f(X(t), θ) represents the prediction function based on the operating parameters and the random forest algorithm, the learned model function, θ represents the parameters of the model, and ∈(t) represents the model error, that is, the prediction error.
[0094] The sludge physical characteristics and operating parameters are obtained in real time. The random forest algorithm is used to predict the moisture content, solid content, and rheological properties in real time. Then, based on the prediction results, the thickening stirring intensity and thickening time are adjusted. The control formula is: P stir (t) = α1·W(t) + α2·S(t) + α3·R(t) + β·Q shudge (t) + γ·T conc (t), T conc (t) = δ1·W(t) + δ2·S(t) + δ3·R(t) + ∈·Q sludge (t), where P stir (t) represents the stirring intensity at the current time t, T conc (t) represents the thickening time at the current time t, which is determined by the sludge physical characteristics and flow rate.

[0095] In step S3, according to the real-time predicted sludge physical characteristics, the stirring intensity and thickening time are adjusted:
[0096] J(t) = λ1·(W tar get - W(t)) 2 + λ2·(S tar get - S(t)) 2 + λ3·(R tar get - R(t)) 2+λ4·P stir (t)+λ5·T conc (t), where J(t) represents the optimization objective function at the current time t, that is, the deviation between the target state and the actual state and the operation cost, W tar get , S tar get , R tar get represents the target sludge characteristic value, and λ1, λ2, λ3, λ4, λ5 represent the weight coefficients, balancing the relationship between sludge characteristic optimization and operation cost, minimizing the objective function J(t), and optimizing the stirring intensity and concentration time;
[0097] According to the results in the optimization process, the final formula for controlling the concentration process is:
[0098] P stir (t) = α1·W(t) + α2·S(t) + α3·R(t) + β·Q sludge (t) + γ·T conc (t),
[0099] T conc (t) = δ1·W(t) + δ2·S(t) + δ3·R(t) + ∈·Q sludge (t);
[0100] Specifically, in step S3, through predictive control based on the random forest algorithm, the physical characteristics of the sludge are analyzed and predicted in real time. According to the prediction results, the concentration stirring intensity and concentration time are dynamically adjusted, effectively optimizing the sludge concentration process; timely responding to changes in sludge characteristics, reducing the uncertainty in the operation process, and improving the stability and efficiency of sludge concentration.

[0103] In step S4, based on the moisture content and solid content of the sludge monitored in real time, the simulated annealing SA algorithm is used to adjust the parameters of the dewatering equipment:
[0104] Define the optimization objective function J(t) to describe the sludge dewatering effect. The goal is to minimize the moisture content of the sludge. The form of the objective function is: J(t) = w1·H(t) + w2·E(t) + w3·T(t), where H(t) represents the moisture content of the sludge at time point t, E(t) represents the energy consumption of the dewatering equipment at time point t, T(t) represents the total duration of the dewatering process, and w1, w2, w3 represent the weight coefficients;
[0105] Search for the optimal solution in the global solution space through the simulated annealing process. The steps include:
[0106] Set the initial solutions P(0), N(0), C(0), and calculate the initial objective function value J(0). Based on the current solutions, randomly adjust P(t), N(t), and C(t) to generate new solutions P′(t), N′(t), C′(t), and calculate the new objective function value J′(t) according to the new operating parameters;
[0107] Determine whether to accept the new solution based on the change in the objective function value. The probability of accepting the new solution is P accept :

The "temperature" in simulated annealing represents the amplitude of exploring the new solution space;
[0109] According to P accept value, determine whether to accept the new solution. If J′(t) is smaller, or accept a worse solution with a certain probability, then update P(t), N(t), and C(t) to P′(t), N′(t), and C′(t);
[0110] With each iteration, the temperature T(t) gradually decreases, T(t) = T0·α t , where T0 represents the initial temperature, α represents the attenuation coefficient, and here t represents the current iteration number; when the temperature T(t) is less than the set threshold or the change in the objective function value is less than a certain threshold, terminate the algorithm and output the final parameter combination P(t), N(t), and C(t);
[0111] Specifically, in step S4, the moisture content and solid content of the sludge are monitored in real time, and the pressure, rotation speed, and chemical dosage of the dewatering equipment are adjusted in combination with the simulated annealing algorithm, significantly improving the efficiency and effect of sludge dewatering. Introducing the simulated annealing algorithm enables the dewatering process to find the optimal solution in the global solution space.

[0115] Define the comprehensive optimization objective function G(t). The goal is to minimize the environmental risk in the treatment process and maximize the resource recovery efficiency. The objective function is:
[0116] G(t) = w1·O(t) + w2·H(t) + W3·R(t) + W4·M(t), where O(t) represents the organic matter content of the sludge at time t, H(t) represents the calorific value of the sludge, R(t) represents the resource recovery rate, M(t) represents the heavy metal concentration, and w1, w2, w3, w4 represent the weight coefficients;
[0117] The goal is to minimize G(t). During the sludge resource utilization process, the recovery of organic matter and energy is given priority, and at the same time, the risk of heavy metals is controlled;
[0118] Estimate the relationship between the calorific value of the sludge and the recovery of organic matter, H(t) = α·O(t) + β, where α represents the correlation coefficient between the calorific value and the organic matter content, and β represents the basic calorific value of the sludge. Adjust the recovery of organic matter to optimize the calorific value increase;
[0119] Take the heavy metal concentration as an optimization constraint condition, define the heavy metal risk control function M(t) as a limiting term in the treatment process, and the heavy metal concentration does not exceed the environmental protection standard, that is, M(t) ≤ M limit , where M(t) represents the heavy metal concentration of the sludge at time t, and M limit represents the environmental protection concentration standard of heavy metals;
[0120] Define the resource recovery rate: R(t) = γ·H(t) - δ·M(t), where γ represents the calorific value recovery efficiency coefficient and δ represents the heavy metal influence coefficient;
[0121] Based on the optimization objective function G(t) and the constraint conditions, use the multi-objective optimization algorithm to evaluate and select each sludge resource utilization plan. Adjust the treatment plan parameters during each iteration process. Finally, according to the above optimization process, select the best resource utilization plan.
