[0087] Experimental Example 1
[0088] The ammonia nitrogen concentration of the influent and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate were determined by the Nash reagent spectrophotometer method (GB 7479-1987); the specific test results are shown in Table 3.
[0089] Table 3 Ammonia nitrogen removal rate test of wastewater treatment in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-4
[0090] No. Influent ammonia nitrogen concentration / mg / L Ammonia nitrogen removal rate / % Example 1 53.74 91.3 Example 2 54.41 91.6 Example 3 52.56 90.4 Example 4 57.85 92.6 Example 5 58.23 93.7 Example 6 53.52 91.1 Comparative Example 1 78.34 69.5 Comparative Example 2 41.43 73.6 Comparative Example 3 97.34 53.3 Comparative Example 4 83.65 60.2
[0091] From the data in Table 3, it can be seen that the wastewater treatment tests were carried out on Examples 1-6, and the influent ammonia nitrogen concentration of wastewater in Examples 1-6 was stable in the range of 52.0-59.0 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen removal rate of wastewater was higher than 90%. In Comparative Examples 1-2, during the preparation of the hydrophilic suspended filler, if the cell group formed by mixing the algal cell solution with the sodium alginate solution and the ferrous chloride solution has too large or too small particle size, the adsorption performance of the hydrophilic suspended filler to ammonia nitrogen will decrease, thus leading to the decrease of the ammonia nitrogen removal rate of wastewater. This is because the hydrophilic suspended filler prepared from the cell group with too small particle size has small particle size, and is more likely to be lost with the water flow during the wastewater treatment process. Moreover, the smaller particle size of the hydrophilic suspended filler will correspondingly reduce the area available for the attachment of microorganisms, and the surface energy will be higher, which is more unfavorable for the attachment of microorganisms, and the ammonia nitrogen is retained in the wastewater, thus leading to the significant increase of the influent ammonia nitrogen concentration and the corresponding decrease of the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency. The cell group with too large particle size will make the effective surface area of the prepared hydrophilic suspended filler small, and the contact area between the hydrophilic suspended filler and the ammonia nitrogen molecules in the wastewater small, thus reducing the adsorption capacity of the hydrophilic suspended filler to ammonia nitrogen. Moreover, the hydrophilic suspended filler prepared from the cell group with too large particle size will hinder the flow of water, thus leading to the uneven distribution of the influent ammonia nitrogen concentration in the denitrification membrane bioreactor, and reducing the ammonia nitrogen removal rate of the denitrification membrane bioreactor to the ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater. In Comparative Examples 3-4, during the preparation of the hydrophilic suspended filler, if the cell group is placed in an environment with too high or too low temperature, the adsorption performance and the binding performance of the prepared hydrophilic suspended filler will obviously decrease, thus reducing the ammonia nitrogen removal rate of wastewater. If the cell group is placed in a low-temperature environment of -20°C for too long, not only the water in the cell group will freeze, but also the sodium alginate in the cell group will become hard, thus affecting the binding capacity of sodium alginate to the Spirulina platensis, leading to the obvious decrease of the binding capacity and the adsorption capacity of the prepared hydrophilic suspended filler to microorganisms, and the hydrophilic suspended filler cannot effectively remove the ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater, thus increasing the influent ammonia nitrogen concentration. If the cell group is placed in a sealed environment at room temperature for 24 h, the bacteria will multiply in large quantities in this environment, thus contaminating the hydrophilic suspended filler. Moreover, in the anoxic environment, the Spirulina platensis will lose activity, thus leading to the decrease of the biodegradation capacity of the hydrophilic suspended filler, the increase of the influent ammonia nitrogen concentration during the wastewater treatment process, and the difficulty in improving the ammonia nitrogen removal rate of wastewater.
[0092] In summary, under the suitable particle size and temperature conditions, the algal cell glue balls are combined with activated carbon and polyethylene to form the hydrophilic suspended filler. The hydrophilic suspended filler has a large specific surface area, can effectively adsorb and decompose the ammonia nitrogen molecules in the wastewater, and can provide more attachment sites and a good growth environment for microorganisms, thus improving the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency of the denitrification membrane bioreactor to the ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater, and promoting the denitrification and phosphorus removal process of the denitrification membrane bioreactor.
[0093] Experimental Example 2
[0094] The dissolved oxygen concentration of the influent was determined according to the method of "Determination of Dissolved Oxygen in Water-Iodimetry" (HJ 506-2009). The chemical oxygen demand removal rate was determined according to the method of "Determination of Chemical Oxygen Demand in Water-Dichromate Method" (HJ 828-2017). The specific test results are shown in Table 4.
[0095] Table 4. Denitrification Membrane Bioreactor Wastewater Treatment Chemical Oxygen Demand Removal Rate Test for Examples 7-12 and Comparative Examples 11-13
[0096] No. Influent dissolved oxygen concentration / mg / L Chemical oxygen demand removal rate / % Example 7 3.43 78.53 Example 8 3.48 78.37 Example 9 3.56 78.26 Example 10 3.27 79.13 Example 11 3.52 79.21 Example 12 3.37 79.02 Comparative Example 11 1.01 33.52 Comparative Example 12 6.21 54.23 Comparative Example 13 5.80 15.34
[0097] From the data in Table 4, sewage treatment tests were performed on Examples 7-13, in which the influent dissolved oxygen concentration of the sewage in Examples 7-13 was stabilized in the range of 3.20-3.60 mg / L, and the chemical oxygen demand removal rate of the sewage was higher than 78%. If the aeration intensity in the aerobic unit is set too high or too low, it will directly affect the influent dissolved oxygen concentration, and too high or too low influent dissolved oxygen concentration in the reactor will reduce the chemical oxygen demand removal rate of the entire sewage treatment system. When the aeration intensity of the aerobic unit is set to 0.5 mg / L, the air intake in the aerobic unit is low, and the low dissolved oxygen concentration directly affects the activity of microorganisms in the aerobic unit, so that the aerobic microorganisms cannot perform aerobic respiration, thereby reducing the oxidation and decomposition ability of organic matter. At the same time, the organic matter that has not been oxidized and decomposed in the aerobic unit will enter the anoxic unit and the anaerobic unit with the water flow, increasing the difficulty of denitrification and phosphorus removal in the subsequent process, and thereby affecting the chemical oxygen demand removal rate of the entire sewage treatment system. When the aeration intensity is set to 10 mg / L, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the aerobic unit is too high, and the microorganisms excessively oxidize organic matter in the high-oxygen environment, thereby generating a large amount of carbon dioxide and water; the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria in the aerobic unit are inhibited, the activity of nitrifying bacteria is reduced, the amount of nitrite generated by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria under the action of ammonia nitrogen in the sewage is reduced, which further leads to a decrease in the amount of nitrite oxidizing bacteria converting nitrite to nitrate, which is not conducive to the subsequent denitrification; secondly, high aeration intensity will cause part of the dissolved oxygen to diffuse into the anoxic unit and the anaerobic unit, which destroys the microenvironment of the anoxic unit and the anaerobic unit, and is not conducive to the denitrification process, thereby affecting the denitrification and phosphorus removal performance of the entire reactor; furthermore, too high influent dissolved oxygen concentration will promote the growth of filamentous bacteria, leading to sludge bulking, and thereby reducing the chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency of the sewage treatment system. If the hydraulic retention time ratio of the aerobic unit, the anoxic unit and the anaerobic unit is set to 1:1:1 in Comparative Example 13, it will seriously affect the influent dissolved oxygen concentration in each unit, leading to a decrease in the chemical oxygen demand removal rate of the entire sewage treatment system.When the hydraulic retention time ratio of the three units is adjusted to 1:1:1, the hydraulic retention time of the aerobic unit is greatly shortened, the transfer and utilization time of oxygen in the aerobic unit is insufficient, which makes the dissolved oxygen concentration in the aerobic unit decrease, the metabolic activity of aerobic microorganisms is inhibited, which affects the oxidation and decomposition of organic matter and the nitrification of ammonia nitrogen; the sewage from the aerobic unit into the anoxic unit contains high dissolved oxygen, which destroys the microenvironment of the anoxic unit, hinders the anaerobic respiration of denitrifying bacteria in the anoxic unit, reduces the amount of nitrate and nitrite reduced to nitrogen gas in the denitrification process, and further affects the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in the subsequent anaerobic unit; the synergistic effect between the three units is weakened, the amount of organic matter oxidized and decomposed into small molecular substances in the aerobic unit is reduced, and the denitrification and anaerobic fermentation processes in the anoxic unit and the anaerobic unit are limited, which cannot fully utilize the small molecular organic matter produced in the aerobic unit, resulting in a decrease in the overall removal rate of chemical oxygen demand.
[0098] In summary, appropriate aerobic unit aeration intensity and hydraulic retention time ratio of the aerobic unit, the anoxic unit and the anaerobic unit are conducive to the oxidation and decomposition of organic matter into small molecular substances in the aerobic unit, providing carbon source for denitrification in the anoxic unit; the anoxic unit removes nitrate and nitrite through denitrification, while further reducing chemical oxygen demand; the anaerobic unit carries out anaerobic fermentation and other processes to deeply degrade organic matter; thereby forming a gradient environment of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic, promoting the synergistic effect between microorganisms, and improving the overall chemical oxygen demand removal rate and the efficiency of denitrification and phosphorus removal of the denitrification membrane bioreactor.

[0103] As shown in Table 5, sewage treatment tests were conducted on Examples 1-6, and the sludge concentration of the sewage in Examples 1-6 was stabilized in the range of 4200-4800 mg / L, and the total nitrogen removal rate of the sewage was higher than 75%. In Comparative Example 5, when the addition amount of metal salt in the microbial growth promoter was too small, the microbial growth promoter lacked calcium salt, magnesium salt, copper salt, ferrous salt and other important components of microbial cell structure, which could not provide sufficient nutrients and participate in electron transfer for the microorganisms in the reactor, resulting in the decrease of denitrification enzyme activity of the microorganisms, the growth and reproduction of the microorganisms were hindered, and the sludge concentration and total nitrogen removal rate in the reactor were reduced. In Comparative Example 6, when the addition amount of metal salt in the microbial growth promoter was too large, the excessive calcium salt and magnesium salt in the microbial growth promoter would cause the osmotic pressure of the extracellular environment of the microorganisms to be too high, the water in the cells would overflow, and the dehydration of the microbial cells in the activated sludge would occur, thereby reducing the sludge concentration in the reactor; secondly, the excessive calcium salt would combine with the phosphate in the sewage to form a precipitate, reducing the available phosphorus source for the microorganisms; and the excessive copper salt and ferrous salt would damage the cell membrane structure of the microorganisms, affecting the normal physiological function of the cells, producing toxic effects on the denitrifying microorganisms, and inhibiting the progress of nitrification and denitrification stages; the mutual influence among the above would cause the total nitrogen removal rate in the reactor to decrease significantly. Since putrescine can participate in the cell division and protein synthesis of microorganisms, and promote the secretion of extracellular polymers with flocculation function, thereby improving the flocculation of sludge; in Comparative Example 7, when too little putrescine was added to the microbial growth promoter, the growth and reproduction of the microorganisms were limited, the ability of the microorganisms to secrete extracellular polymers was weakened, the sludge in the reactor was difficult to settle and separate, and a large amount of suspended solids would be carried out with the effluent, which would not only affect the effluent quality and the operation efficiency of the sewage treatment system, but also reduce the sludge concentration and total nitrogen removal rate in the reactor. In Comparative Example 8, when too much putrescine was added to the microbial growth promoter, it would interfere with the normal function of the microbial cell membrane, the permeability of the cell membrane would change, some harmful substances to the microorganisms would more easily enter the cells, and the transaminase and metabolic products in the cells would leak, so that the microorganisms lacked sufficient energy in the nitrogen metabolism process, further reducing the total nitrogen removal rate. Glucose is an important carbon source for microbial growth, which provides a large amount of energy for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. In Comparative Example 9, too little glucose was added to the microbial growth promoter, i.e. the microorganisms lacked sufficient carbon source in the growth and reproduction process, which resulted in slow growth and low concentration of the activated sludge on the hydrophilic suspended filler; in the anoxic unit, the denitrifying bacteria could not effectively reduce nitrate and nitrite to nitrogen, thereby reducing the total nitrogen removal rate in the system.In Comparative Example 10, too much glucose was added to the microbial growth promoter, which caused excessive growth of the microorganisms, resulting in a large amount of filamentous bacteria in the sludge. The overgrown filamentous bacteria made the sludge floc loose and difficult to settle. During the wastewater treatment process, excessive sludge and pollutants accumulated on the membrane separation zone, which reduced the permeability of the membrane and increased the transmembrane pressure difference, thereby reducing the wastewater treatment efficiency of the membrane and further reducing the total nitrogen removal rate and the total phosphorus removal rate in the reactor.
[0104] In summary, the metal salt, putrescine, glucose and sodium acetate in the microbial growth promoter provide the carbon source and nitrogen source required for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. The multi-component synergistic effect provides comprehensive nutrition for the microorganisms, forms a good positive cycle in the entire denitrification membrane bioreactor, and retains the microorganisms in the reactor, which is conducive to the growth of slowly proliferating microorganisms and improves the nitrification efficiency in the system. Therefore, the sludge concentration, effluent quality and denitrification and phosphorus removal efficiency in the denitrification membrane bioreactor are improved.
[0105] Experimental Example 4
[0106] The total phosphorus removal rate was determined according to "Determination of Total Phosphorus in Water - Ammonium Molybdate Spectrophotometric Method" (GB 11893-1989). The specific test results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 1 Data.
[0107] Table 6 Total phosphorus removal rate test of denitrification membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment in Examples 7-12 and Comparative Examples 14-19
[0108]
[0109]
[0110] Table 6 and Figure 1The data show that the total phosphorus removal rate of wastewater in Examples 7-12 is higher than 86%. In Comparative Examples 1-4, the prepared cell population has a particle size that is too large or too small, and the cell population is placed in a low-temperature or room-temperature environment, which reduces the mass transfer efficiency, inactivates most of the Spirulina platensis, and is not conducive to the adsorption and decomposition performance of the hydrophilic suspended material, thereby affecting the metabolism and removal capacity of the material for phosphorus-containing substances. The function of the electric mechanical stirring device in the anoxic unit is to prevent the phosphorus in the sludge from precipitating too quickly, and to enable the sludge to fully contact the microorganisms through stirring, thereby effectively removing nitrogen and phosphorus elements in the wastewater. In Comparative Example 14 and Comparative Example 16, when the rotating speed of the electric mechanical stirring device in the anoxic unit is set too slowly and the stirring power is too low, the sludge is more likely to produce a large amount of precipitation in the anoxic unit, the nitrate and organic matter are not evenly distributed in the sludge, and part of the microorganisms lack nutrients, grow slowly, or even die, thereby inhibiting the activity of the denitrifying bacteria in the anoxic unit, depositing a large amount of phosphorus compounds in the sludge, and reducing the mass transfer efficiency, which weakens the phosphorus removal effect in the entire reactor. In Comparative Example 15 and Comparative Example 17, when the rotating speed of the electric mechanical stirring device in the anoxic unit is set too fast and the stirring power is too high, the sludge will be subjected to excessive shear force, thereby destroying the microbial community and the aggregates formed by the microorganisms in the sludge, and making the overall structure of the sludge loose, which is quickly pushed to other units under the action of the excessive shear force, thereby affecting the absorption and release of phosphorus by the phosphorus-accumulating bacteria, and further reducing the overall phosphorus removal effect. The swing chamber with a suitable swing angle can make the wastewater be filtered more uniformly under more uniform water flow velocity and pressure distribution, improve the flow smoothness of the wastewater from the aerobic unit to the anoxic unit, and from the anoxic unit to the anaerobic unit, which is conducive to creating a suitable growth environment for the aerobic phosphorus-accumulating bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, and anaerobic phosphorus-releasing bacteria; improves the contact efficiency between the pollutants in the wastewater and the microorganisms, further improves the filtration speed and treatment capacity of the membrane, shortens the membrane formation time, and further improves the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in the wastewater. In Comparative Example 18, the five chambers provided in the aerobic unit, the anoxic unit, and the anaerobic unit in the denitrification membrane bioreactor do not have a swing function, and the chambers are arranged vertically at an angle of 90° with the denitrification membrane bioreactor; at this time, the flow of the wastewater is relatively single, the distribution of oxygen in the aerobic unit is not as uniform as before, thereby slowing down the growth and metabolism of the nitrifying bacteria, reducing the efficiency of the conversion of ammonia nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen, and increasing the ammonia nitrogen content in the effluent of the aerobic unit; after the wastewater enters the anoxic unit, the denitrification process is carried out under a relatively flat flow state, and the dissolved oxygen concentration is not uniform, thereby reducing the denitrification efficiency and the total nitrogen removal rate; when the chambers cannot swing and are vertically arranged, under the condition of relatively limited flow, a local microbial dead zone will appear in the anaerobic unit, thereby reducing the overall nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency of the wastewater.
[0111] In summary, the electric mechanical stirring device sets appropriate rotating speed and power, and appropriate swing angle of each cell chamber, so that the sludge can fully contact with the microorganism, the sewage is filtered more uniformly under more uniform water flow speed and pressure distribution, the flow smoothness of the sewage inside the reactor from the aerobic unit to the anoxic unit and from the anoxic unit to the anaerobic unit is improved, which helps to create suitable growth environment for the bacteria such as aerobic phosphorus accumulating bacteria, denitrifying bacteria and anaerobic phosphorus releasing bacteria; the contact efficiency between the pollutants in the sewage and the microorganism is improved, the filtration speed and the treatment capacity of the membrane are further improved, the membrane formation time is shortened, and the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in the sewage is further improved.
