Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial wastewater treatment, specifically relating to an iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation co-enrichment culture device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Excessive nitrogen discharge into receiving water bodies can lead to a series of problems such as oxygen depletion, black and smelly water, and eutrophication. Developing efficient and low-consumption wastewater denitrification technologies has become an urgent task in the field of pollution control.

[0003] Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (AAO) utilizes anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria to convert nitrite and ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen gas. Compared with traditional nitrification and denitrification processes, AAO has advantages such as a shorter reaction pathway, no need for additional carbon sources, no need for alkalinity compensation, and low energy consumption. It has broad application prospects and has become a hot topic in the research of new biological wastewater denitrification technologies.

[0004] Autotrophic denitrification requires no added organic carbon source. Autotrophic denitrifying bacteria use hydrogen, reduced sulfides, or iron salts as electron donors and inorganic carbon as the carbon source to reduce nitrates to nitrogen. Furthermore, the low growth rate of autotrophic microorganisms effectively reduces sludge production and the risk of secondary pollution. Autotrophic denitrification using iron as a medium can simultaneously remove nitrates and form Fe... 3+ The precipitate is used to recover iron. The reaction principle involves autotrophic denitrifying bacteria converting Fe... 2+ Oxidized to Fe 3+ Then through Fe 3+ Pollutants are removed through precipitation or adsorption of hydroxides, oxides, and other metals. Electrons are transferred to nitrates, which are then anaerobically reduced to nitrogen gas through denitrification. Most studies have demonstrated that nitrates in iron-based autotrophic denitrification systems are completely reduced to N2 and released without the accumulation of intermediate products. Some studies have found that this process generates large amounts of nitrites and nitrous oxide. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides an iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation co-enrichment culture device and method, which can simultaneously enrich and culture anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria and autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, and can also achieve rapid start-up of anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria culture.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides an iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation co-enrichment culture device, comprising: an inlet tank, an anoxic reactor No. 1, an intermediate tank, and an anaerobic reactor No. 2.

[0007] The inlet tank is used for mixing and adjusting the inlet components of the No. 1 anoxic reactor. It is equipped with an outlet pipeline, which is connected to the No. 1 anoxic reactor.

[0008] The No. 1 anoxic reactor is used for the cultivation and enrichment of iron-autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. It is equipped with an outlet pipeline of the No. 1 anoxic reactor, which is connected to the intermediate tank.

[0009] The intermediate tank is used for mixing and adjusting the influent components of anaerobic reactor No. 2. It is equipped with an intermediate tank outlet pipeline, which is connected to anaerobic reactor No. 2.

[0010] The No. 2 anaerobic reactor is used for the start-up, cultivation, and enrichment of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. It is equipped with a No. 2 anaerobic reactor effluent pipeline, which is connected to the No. 1 anoxic reactor.

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for the combined enrichment culture of iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation, comprising the following steps:

[0012] S1, Bacterial Culture Initiation Phase

[0013] Step 1: Add the substances required for iron autotrophic denitrification to the inlet tank, inoculate the first activated sludge into the No. 1 anoxic reactor, start the inlet tank to drain the air in the No. 1 anoxic reactor, add 8-10g of iron powder, and start the cultivation and acclimatization of iron autotrophic denitrification bacteria under anoxic conditions.

[0014] Step 2: The effluent from the No. 1 anoxic reactor enters the intermediate tank, where the substances required for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction are added and mixed thoroughly.

[0015] Step 3: Inoculate the second activated sludge into anaerobic reactor No. 2. The effluent from the intermediate tank enters anaerobic reactor No. 2. Under anoxic or anaerobic conditions, denitrification and enrichment of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria are carried out.

[0016] S2, the bacterial enrichment stage

[0017] Step 4: Monitor the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen in the effluent of Anoxic Reactor No. 1. The nitrate removal rate in the effluent of Anoxic Reactor No. 1 is greater than 70%, and ammonia and nitrite appear in the effluent, indicating that the iron autotrophic denitrification has been successfully started. Then, increase the nitrate nitrogen load in the influent of Anoxic Reactor No. 1 and add iron powder. The nitrate nitrogen load is increased in increments of 50-80 mg / L, and the amount of iron powder added is 3-5 g / 10 days.

[0018] Step 5: Monitor the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen in the effluent of anaerobic reactor No. 2. If the total nitrogen removal rate of the effluent from anaerobic reactor No. 2 is greater than 60%, and the removal rates of nitrite nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen are greater than 70%, the anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria culture has been successfully started. Then, gradually increase the total nitrogen load of the influent to anaerobic reactor No. 2, increasing the total nitrogen content in increments of 50–120 mg / L over a period of 7–14 days, until the removal rates of nitrite nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen reach over 90% and anaerobic reactor No. 2 turns noticeably red, the enrichment is complete.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The present invention can achieve rapid start-up of anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction, start-up culture of dominant anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria under low load, increase total nitrogen load through gradient increase, and rapidly enrich anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria.

[0021] (2) The present invention can realize the co-cultivation of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria and anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. The autotrophic denitrification consumes dissolved oxygen in the influent to provide anaerobic conditions for anaerobic ammonia oxidation and provides a certain amount of nitrite and iron ions to promote the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction. The product water of anaerobic ammonia oxidation can be effectively prevented from mineralization and promoted by returning it to the autotrophic denitrification tank.

[0022] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonium oxidation enrichment culture device of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following provides a detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0026] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides an iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation co-enrichment culture device, comprising: an inlet tank, an anoxic reactor No. 1, an intermediate tank, and an anaerobic reactor No. 2.

[0027] The inlet tank is used for mixing and adjusting the inlet components of the No. 1 anoxic reactor. It is equipped with an outlet pipeline, which is connected to the No. 1 anoxic reactor.

[0028] The No. 1 anoxic reactor is used for the cultivation and enrichment of iron-autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. It is equipped with an outlet pipeline of the No. 1 anoxic reactor, which is connected to the intermediate tank.

[0029] The intermediate tank is used for mixing and adjusting the influent components of anaerobic reactor No. 2. It is equipped with an intermediate tank outlet pipeline, which is connected to anaerobic reactor No. 2.

[0030] The No. 2 anaerobic reactor is used for the start-up, cultivation, and enrichment of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. It is equipped with a No. 2 anaerobic reactor effluent pipeline, which is connected to the No. 1 anoxic reactor.

[0031] In this invention, the feed tank and neutralization tank are used for adjusting the proportions of various substances in the influent, mixing them, monitoring pH and dissolved oxygen, and adjusting them in a timely manner. Anoxic reactor No. 1 is used for the cultivation and enrichment of iron-autotrophic denitrifying bacteria and to intercept the anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge carried by the effluent from reactor No. 2, consuming dissolved oxygen. Anaerobic reactor No. 2 is used for the start-up, cultivation, and enrichment of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria. A reflux device is used to return the liquid from reactor No. 2 to reactor No. 1, and simultaneously for the discharge and collection of gas. Gas and liquid are discharged simultaneously from the reflux port at the top of the reactor. Water and activated sludge are returned to reactor No. 1 via a reflux pump, while gas plays a role in aeration and mixing in reactor No. 1 and escapes into the atmosphere through the open reactor No. 1.

[0032] The current challenges of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAO) lie in its slow and unstable start-up, often accompanied by sludge runoff. Iron-autotrophic denitrification, on the other hand, is prone to mineralization, with iron compounds encapsulating the sludge and slowing mass transfer. A certain amount of anaerobic sludge can effectively address this mineralization issue. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria require a strictly anaerobic environment for cultivation. The influent carries a certain amount of dissolved oxygen, leading to slow start-up. Autotrophic denitrification, being an anaerobic reaction, effectively consumes dissolved oxygen in the influent, and a certain amount of iron ions promotes ANAO. Furthermore, the byproduct nitrite produced in the autotrophic denitrification system can be further removed through ANAO. Therefore, the two processes have a good synergistic effect. Utilizing autotrophic denitrification coupled with ANAO allows for the simultaneous enrichment of both autotrophic denitrifying and anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria, while also enabling rapid start-up of ANAO experiments.

[0040] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for the combined enrichment culture of iron autotrophic denitrification coupled with anaerobic ammonia oxidation, comprising the following steps:
