Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial wastewater treatment, specifically relating to a device and method for the combined enrichment and cultivation of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. Background Technology

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

[0003] Ammonia nitrogen removal can be achieved through physicochemical and biological methods. Considering cost and removal efficiency, biological methods are generally used in engineering projects. Traditional biological treatment mainly includes two steps: nitrification and denitrification. The nitrification process is mainly completed by ammonifying bacteria, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, and nitrifying bacteria under aerobic conditions. Ammonia nitrogen in the water is converted into nitrate nitrogen through the action of nitrite-oxidizing and nitrifying bacteria. During denitrification, denitrifying bacteria use organic matter as electron donors to reduce nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas under anaerobic conditions.

[0004] Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (AAO) utilizes anaerobic bacteria to convert nitrite and ammonia nitrogen into nitrogen gas. Compared to 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, making it a promising technology with broad application prospects. It has become a hot topic in research on novel biological wastewater denitrification technologies. However, this process has a drawback: the maximum total nitrogen removal rate is approximately 89%, and over 11% of the influent total nitrogen is converted to nitrate nitrogen, potentially leading to substandard effluent total nitrogen levels.

[0005] Currently, two main approaches are used to achieve rapid start-up of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation process: one is to cultivate a biofilm to effectively retain anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria within the biofilm, ensuring a high concentration of microorganisms in the reactor; the other is to granulate the inoculated sludge, so that the enriched products with anaerobic ammonia oxidation activity are retained in the reactor, effectively reducing sludge loss.

[0006] In integrated systems, both reaction stages take place within a single reactor, with two types of functional bacteria (AOB and AnAOB) coexisting. Therefore, strict aeration control is necessary. Furthermore, due to the coexistence of multiple microbial populations, the reactor start-up time is relatively long, making it susceptible to load shocks and potentially leading to system instability. However, integrated systems offer advantages such as low construction costs, small footprint, high volumetric load, and effective avoidance of inhibitory effects caused by nitrite accumulation, making them more widely used in engineering applications.

[0007] Compared to integrated systems, two-stage systems offer more flexible and stable operation as the reactors can be independently adjusted and controlled. Separating the two reaction stages of autotrophic nitrogen removal not only optimizes the enrichment of AOB and AnAOB but also eliminates some toxic organic pollutants, preventing toxic substances and organic matter from directly entering the subsequent anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor. However, two-stage systems have higher investment costs and higher NO content. 2- -N tends to accumulate, producing free nitrite which has an inhibitory effect, making the system design more complex. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a device and method for the combined enrichment and cultivation of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, which can achieve rapid start-up of anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction, while simultaneously enriching and cultivating denitrifying bacteria and reducing sludge loss within the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactor.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides an autotrophic denitrifying bacteria co-enrichment culture device, comprising an inlet tank, an anaerobic reactor No. 1, a reflux tank, and an anoxic reactor No. 2.

[0010] The water inlet tank is used for mixing and adjusting the water components, and it is equipped with a water inlet tank outlet pipeline, which is connected to anaerobic reactor No. 1.

[0011] The No. 1 anaerobic reactor is used for the start-up, cultivation, and enrichment of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. It is equipped with an effluent pipeline of the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, which is connected to a reflux tank.

[0012] The reflux tank is used for gas discharge and collection. It is equipped with a reflux tank outlet pipeline at the top and a reflux tank return pipeline at the bottom. The reflux tank outlet pipeline is connected to the No. 2 anoxic reactor, and the reflux tank return pipeline is connected to the No. 1 anaerobic reactor.

[0013] The No. 2 anoxic reactor is used to intercept the anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge carried by the effluent of the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, and to further enrich denitrifying bacteria in conjunction with aerobic denitrification. The bottom of the No. 2 anoxic reactor is equipped with a return pipeline, which is connected to the lower part of the return tank.

[0014] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for the co-enrichment culture of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, the method being carried out using the aforementioned co-enrichment culture device for autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, and comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1, Bacterial Culture Initiation Phase:

[0016] Step 1: Add the substances required for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction to the inlet tank, inoculate the first activated sludge into the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, start the inlet tank to fill water and empty the air in the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, start the cultivation and acclimatization of anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria, and the nitrogen and water produced by the No. 1 anaerobic reactor enter the return tank.

[0017] Step 2: Inoculate the second activated sludge into the No. 2 anoxic reactor. The effluent from the return tank enters the No. 2 anoxic reactor. The anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge carried out with the effluent from the return tank is intercepted. Intermittent aeration keeps the No. 2 anoxic reactor in anoxic state. Under anoxic state, nitrogen is further removed and denitrifying bacteria are cultivated through anaerobic ammonia oxidation and denitrification.

[0018] Step 3: The sludge at the bottom of the No. 2 anoxic reactor is returned to the return tank, where it settles before being returned to the No. 1 anaerobic reactor.

[0019] S2, the enrichment stage of bacteria:

[0020] Step 4: Monitor the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen in the effluent. When the total nitrogen removal rate of the effluent from anaerobic reactor No. 1 is greater than 60%, and the removal rates of nitrite nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen are greater than 65%, the anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria culture is successfully started. Then, gradually increase the total nitrogen load of the influent, with the total nitrogen amount increasing by 50-120 mg / L in increments of 7-14 days, until the removal rates of nitrite nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen reach more than 80% and anaerobic reactor No. 1 turns noticeably red, the enrichment of anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria is complete.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) This invention can effectively solve the problem of sludge loss caused by sludge run-off during the start-up phase of anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria. First, by adding a return port and a return tank, the reactor can effectively intercept the sludge carried out with the water flow while discharging the nitrogen gas generated by the reaction. After the sludge settles in the return tank, it is returned to the reactor by the return pump. Second, a No. 2 anoxic reactor is added to intercept the anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge. In the No. 2 anoxic reactor, aerobic activated sludge and anaerobic granular sludge coexist. The aerobic sludge wraps around the anaerobic granular sludge and then flows back to the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, which effectively avoids sludge run-off and can simultaneously enrich denitrifying bacteria.

[0023] (2) This invention starts the culture of anaerobic ammonia oxidation dominant bacteria under low load conditions, increases the total nitrogen load through gradient increase, rapidly enriches anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria, and the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction and denitrification reaction promote each other, which can realize the rapid start-up of anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction.

[0028] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides an autotrophic denitrifying bacteria co-enrichment culture device, comprising an inlet tank, an anaerobic reactor No. 1, a reflux tank, and an anoxic reactor No. 2.

[0029] The water inlet tank is used for mixing and adjusting the water components, and it is equipped with a water inlet tank outlet pipeline, which is connected to anaerobic reactor No. 1.

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

[0031] The reflux tank is used for gas discharge and collection. It is equipped with a reflux tank outlet pipeline at the top and a reflux tank return pipeline at the bottom. The reflux tank outlet pipeline is connected to the No. 2 anoxic reactor, and the reflux tank return pipeline is connected to the No. 1 anaerobic reactor.

[0032] The No. 2 anoxic reactor is used to intercept the anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge carried by the effluent of the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, and to further enrich denitrifying bacteria in conjunction with aerobic denitrification. The bottom of the No. 2 anoxic reactor is equipped with a return pipeline, which is connected to the lower part of the return tank.

[0033] In this invention, because the No. 1 reactor is unstable in the initial stage of startup and sludge leakage occurs frequently, the No. 2 reactor mainly plays a role in intercepting anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge during this stage. In the No. 2 reactor, aerobic activated sludge and anaerobic granular sludge coexist. The aerobic sludge coats the anaerobic granular sludge. After sedimentation in the return tank, it is returned to the No. 1 reactor, thereby effectively avoiding sludge leakage.

[0034] According to the present invention, preferably, pumps are installed on the water inlet tank outlet pipeline, the return tank return pipeline, and the No. 2 anoxic reactor return pipeline.

[0037] Preferably, the filler is polyurethane foam, and preferably, the average porosity of the polyurethane foam is >85%.

[0038] In this invention, the polyurethane foam used is 1-2 cm in size. 3 .

[0039] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for the co-enrichment culture of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, the method being carried out using the aforementioned co-enrichment culture device for autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, and comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1, Bacterial Culture Initiation Phase:

[0041] Step 1: Add the substances required for the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction to the inlet tank, inoculate the first activated sludge into the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, start the inlet tank to fill water and empty the air in the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, start the cultivation and acclimatization of anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria, and the nitrogen and water produced by the No. 1 anaerobic reactor enter the return tank.

[0042] Step 2: Inoculate the second activated sludge into the No. 2 anoxic reactor. The effluent from the return tank enters the No. 2 anoxic reactor. The anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge carried out with the effluent from the return tank is intercepted. Intermittent aeration keeps the No. 2 anoxic reactor in anoxic state. Under anoxic state, nitrogen is further removed and denitrifying bacteria are cultivated through anaerobic ammonia oxidation and denitrification.

[0044] S2, the enrichment stage of bacteria:

[0045] Step 4: Monitor the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen in the effluent.

In the No. 2 anoxic reactor, aerobic activated sludge and anaerobic granular sludge coexist. The aerobic sludge coats the anaerobic granular sludge and is then returned to the No. 1 anaerobic reactor, thus effectively avoiding sludge loss. Moreover, the anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction and the denitrification reaction promote each other, enabling the rapid start-up of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation reaction.

It is equipped with an anoxic reactor No. 2 return pipeline at the bottom, which is connected to the lower part of the return tank. Pumps are installed on the water inlet tank outlet pipeline, the return tank return pipeline, and the No. 2 anoxic reactor return pipeline.

[0072] The method for combined enrichment culture of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria includes the following steps:

[0075] Step 2: Inoculate 200 mg / L activated sludge into reactor No. 2. The effluent from the return tank enters reactor No. 2. The anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge carried out with the effluent from the return tank is intercepted. Intermittent aeration is used to keep the reactor in an anoxic state. Under the anoxic state, nitrogen is further removed and denitrifying bacteria are cultivated through anaerobic ammonia oxidation and denitrification.

[0076] Step 3: The sludge at the bottom of reactor No. 2 is returned to the return tank, where it settles before being returned to reactor No. 1.
