Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, in particular to a biological desalination method for high-concentration wastewater. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industrialization, various industrial production activities have generated a large amount of high-concentration wastewater. These wastewaters come from a wide range of sources, covering many industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, printing and dyeing, and food processing. The notable feature of high-concentration wastewater is that it contains a large amount of salt, such as chloride ions Cl - , sulfate ion Etc., accompanied by high concentrations of organic pollutants. If these wastewaters are discharged directly without effective treatment, they will cause serious pollution to the soil, water and atmospheric environment and destroy the ecological balance. Therefore, how to efficiently treat high-concentration wastewater and realize resource recycling has become an important issue that needs to be urgently solved in the environmental field.
[0003] At present, the existing technologies for treating salt and organic matter in high-concentration wastewater have many deficiencies, including:
[0004] In terms of salt treatment, traditional physical and chemical methods, such as ion exchange, can remove some salt, but ion exchange resins are easily contaminated and saturated, and need to be frequently regenerated or replaced, which is costly;
[0005] When biological treatment methods are faced with high salt concentrations, the activity of microorganisms will be strongly inhibited, especially when treating complex wastewater containing multiple salts. The interaction between different salt ions will further interfere with the metabolic process of microorganisms, resulting in unstable treatment effects.
[0006] In terms of organic matter treatment, the conventional biological treatment process has a significantly reduced ability to degrade organic matter in a high-salt environment, making it difficult to achieve ideal removal effects. In addition, existing technologies often separate salt removal and organic matter degradation, lacking a coordinated processing approach and making it impossible to achieve efficient recycling of resources.
[0007] In summary, it is difficult for existing high-concentration wastewater treatment technologies to achieve the goal of reducing Cl - , It is of great practical significance to develop a new method that can simultaneously and efficiently remove salt and organic matter in high-concentration wastewater, realize salt resource utilization, reduce treatment costs, and improve treatment stability. Summary of the invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to make up for the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for biological desalination of high-concentration wastewater, which can achieve Cl -, Cooperative and efficient removal. In the anaerobic stage, under the gradient salinity domestication, sulfate-reducing bacteria use organic matter as the electron donor to reduce to S 2- . Meanwhile, the organic matter is degraded. In the aerobic stage, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria convert S 2- into elemental sulfur, solving the problem of secondary pollution of sulfide. In the electrochemical stage, halotolerant sulfur bacteria oxidize Cl - to Cl2 with the assistance of voltage, and H2 is co-produced at the cathode for energy recycling, thus realizing the resource utilization of salts and the effective removal of organic matter.
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A biological desalination method for high-concentration wastewater. The specific steps of the method are as follows:

Apply a voltage through the electrode system in the MEC, and use halotolerant sulfur bacteria and electrochemical assistance to oxidize Cl - in the wastewater to Cl2 gas at the anode, and produce H2 at the cathode;
[0014] S500. Introduce the effluent from S400 into a vacuum evaporation crystallizer to concentrate and precipitate NaCl crystals. Obtain industrial salt with a purity ≥ 99% through centrifugal separation. The final effluent salinity is ≤ 500 mg / L, and the concentrated mother liquor is returned to S400 for cyclic treatment.
[0015] Furthermore, the S200 performs gradient salinity domestication on the composite sulfate-reducing bacteria in an anaerobic environment with a temperature of 30 - 35 °C and a pH value of 6.5 - 7.5.
[0016] Even further, the domestication process of the S200 on the composite sulfate-reducing bacteria is as follows:
[0017] The initial salinity is 3%, 0.2 g / L of cysteine and 0.5 g / L of sodium lactate are added, and the domestication lasts for 48 h;
[0018] The salinity is increased to 5%, 0.1 g / L of ferrous sulfate and 0.3 g / L of yeast extract are added, and the domestication lasts for 36 h;
[0019] The salinity is increased to 8%, 0.05 g / L of sodium selenite is added, and the domestication lasts for 24 h.
[0020] Even further, during the process where the S200 is reduced to S reduced to S 2- In the process, an FeCl2 solution is synchronously added. The molar ratio of Fe 2+ :S 2- in the FeCl2 solution is 1:1, generating FeS precipitate and recovering it through magnetic separation. When magnetic separation of FeS is carried out, the magnetic field intensity is 0.5 - 1.0 T, the recovery rate of FeS is ≥ 90%, and the purity of the obtained FeS is ≥ 85%.
[0021] Even further, the temperature in the aerobic reactor of the S300 is 25 - 30 °C, the pH value is 7.0 - 8.0, the dissolved oxygen concentration is 2 - 4 mg / L, and the hydraulic retention time is controlled to be 5 - 8 h to create a growth and metabolism environment for sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.
[0022] Even further, during the electrochemical assistance process of the S400, the temperature is 30 - 35 °C and the pH value is 6.0 - 7.0.
[0023] Even further, the S100 nanofiltration membrane is a polyamide composite membrane, with sulfonic acid groups grafted on the surface, the cut-off molecular weight is 200 ± 10 Da, the operating pressure is 1.8 - 2.5 MPa, and the separation factor is ≥ 15.
[0024] Even further, in the S500, the pressure of vacuum evaporation crystallization is -0.08 to -0.09 MPa, the temperature is 45 - 50 °C, the rotation speed of centrifugally separating NaCl crystals is 2500 - 3500 rpm, and the residual amount of Cl - is ≤ 100 mg / L, and the crystallization mother liquor is refluxed to step S400 for cyclic treatment.

In the anaerobic stage, sulfate-reducing bacteria are used to reduce sulfate ions in the wastewater to sulfide ions, while decomposing organic matter and reducing the chemical oxygen demand of the wastewater. In the aerobic stage, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria oxidize sulfide ions to elemental sulfur, achieving the resource recovery of sulfur. In the electrochemically assisted stage, halotolerant sulfur bacteria oxidize chloride ions to chlorine gas in a microbial electrolytic cell, achieving the resource recovery of chlorine. Through this method, not only the salt content in the wastewater is effectively reduced, but also valuable elemental sulfur and chlorine gas are recovered, with significant economic and environmental benefits.
[0027] 2. The treatment method of the present invention has stability and wide adaptability. In the microbial treatment stage, the composite sulfate-reducing bacteria are acclimated to different salinity gradients, enabling them to adapt to high-salt environments and maintain high activity under different salinity conditions. When facing high-concentration wastewater from different sources and with different compositions, this method can effectively separate and adjust the concentration of salts in the wastewater by adjusting the separation parameters of the nanofiltration membrane, thereby realizing the treatment of various complex wastewaters.

The effluent from step S400 is introduced into a vacuum evaporation crystallizer and concentrated under the conditions of a pressure of -0.08 to -0.09 MPa and a temperature of 45 - 50 °C to precipitate NaCl crystals. Then, a centrifuge is used to separate the precipitated crystals at a rotational speed of 2500 - 3500 rpm to obtain industrial salt with a purity ≥ 99%, and the resulting Cl - residual amount ≤ 100 mg / L. The remaining concentrated mother liquor after separation is returned to step S400 for cyclic treatment, and the final effluent salinity ≤ 500 mg / L.

During the reaction, the composite sulfate-reducing bacteria use in the wastewater as the electron acceptor, use the organic matter COD as the electron donor and carbon source, and reduce to S through the dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway2- , meanwhile, add FeCl2 solution synchronously according to the molar ratio of Fe 2+ :S 2- of 1:1 to generate FeS precipitate subsequently;
[0078] Adjustment of hydraulic retention time in the aerobic stage: Conduct comparative experiments by setting the hydraulic retention time at 6 h, 7 h, and 8 h respectively in the aerobic stage. When the hydraulic retention time is 6 h, the wastewater after anaerobic treatment flows into the aerobic reactor. Under the conditions of 25 °C, pH value of 7.0, and dissolved oxygen concentration of 2 mg / L, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are used to oxidize S 2- to elemental sulfur; when the hydraulic retention time is 7 h, with other conditions unchanged, only extend the hydraulic retention time, and observe the oxidation effect of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and its impact on the subsequent treatment process; when the hydraulic retention time is 8 h, also keep other conditions unchanged and further extend the hydraulic retention time for the experiment;

[0085] Treatment steps: A single biological treatment method is adopted, that is, the wastewater is directly introduced into the bioreactor of the conventional activated sludge process without special treatment such as salt separation and gradient acclimation. In the bioreactor, the temperature is maintained at 25 °C, the pH value is 7.0, the dissolved oxygen concentration is maintained at 2 - 3 mg / L by aeration, and the hydraulic retention time is set at 12 h.
[0086] Treatment effect: After 30 days of operation, the microbial activity is severely inhibited by the high - concentration salt. The COD removal rate is only 30%, no sulfur ions are reduced and oxidized, and the effective removal and resource utilization of Cl - cannot be achieved during the treatment process. Since no special separation and crystallization treatment is carried out, no NaCl crystals are produced. When the final effluent is detected, the salinity is still as high as over 900 mg / L.
[0087] Comparative Example 2
[0088] Verify the importance of gradient salinity acclimation for the activity of composite sulfate - reducing bacteria and the overall treatment effect.
[0089] Use the same high - concentration wastewater sample discharged from a chemical industrial park as in Example 1, with its Cl - concentration of 100 g / L, concentration of 60 g / L, and COD concentration of 1500 mg / L;
[0090] Treatment steps: Adopt the same wastewater treatment process as in Example 1, but do not perform gradient salinity acclimation on the composite sulfate - reducing bacteria in the anaerobic stage. Directly use the unacclimated strain for treatment. In the anaerobic reactor, control the temperature at 30 °C, adjust the pH value to 6.5, inoculate the unacclimated composite sulfate - reducing bacteria, and simultaneously add FeCl2 solution to keep the Fe 2+ :S 2- molar ratio of 1:1. The subsequent aerobic treatment, electrochemically assisted treatment, and evaporation crystallization steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0091] Treatment effect: After 30 days of operation, the COD removal rate in the anaerobic stage is only 60%. By magnetic separation and recovery of the generated FeS precipitate, the recovery rate and purity of FeS are significantly reduced, being 70% and 75% respectively; the treatment effects in the aerobic stage and the electrochemical stage are also affected. The amount of elemental sulfur generated in the aerobic stage decreases, and the conversion rate of Cl - converted to Cl2 in the electrochemical stage drops to 70%; the purity of the finally obtained NaCl crystals is 97%, and the effluent salinity is 700 mg / L.
[0092] In summary, according to the treatment effect indexes of a biological desalination method for high-concentration wastewater provided by Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 5 and Comparative Example 1 and 2, the specific data are shown in the following table:
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] As shown in the above table, by analyzing the monitoring results of Embodiment 1 to 5 and the comparative examples, it can be seen that each embodiment shows good treatment effects and resource recovery capabilities when treating high-concentration wastewater. In the anaerobic stage, by optimizing the gradient salinity domestication process of composite sulfate-reducing bacteria (such as Embodiment 4), adjusting the temperature (such as Embodiment 2), etc., the microbial activity can be significantly improved, thereby increasing the COD removal rate, which can reach up to 85%. At the same time, the stable microbial metabolism also ensures the high recovery rate and purity of FeS. In the aerobic stage, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria can efficiently convert S 2- into elemental sulfur, and wastewater with different contents (such as Embodiment 3) does not cause obvious interference to it. In the electrochemical stage, appropriate conditions such as temperature (such as Embodiment 2) can promote halophilic sulfur bacteria to oxidize Cl- to Cl2, with the highest conversion rate reaching 88%. Finally, through vacuum evaporation crystallization and centrifugal separation, NaCl crystals with a purity of 99.1% - 99.4% can be obtained, and the effluent salinity can also be controlled at 400 - 480 mg / L. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 uses the traditional single biological treatment method, which is inhibited by high-concentration salts, with extremely low microbial activity, and all treatment indexes are far lower than those of the embodiments, making it impossible to achieve effective treatment and resource recovery. In Comparative Example 2, the gradient salinity domestication was not carried out, resulting in limited microbial activity, leading to a COD removal rate of only 60% in the anaerobic stage and a Cl - conversion rate dropping to 70% in the electrochemical stage, and the purity of NaCl crystals is also relatively low.
[0096] In summary, the biological desalination method for high-concentration wastewater of the present invention, through a unique three-stage biological treatment process of "anaerobic reduction - aerobic oxidation - electrochemical dechlorination" and optimization measures for the gradient salinity domestication of microorganisms, can achieve efficient salt removal and resource utilization, while effectively reducing the effluent salinity, with stable and good treatment effects when treating high-concentration wastewater, compared with traditional methods and unoptimized treatment methods.
