Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of resource utilization and treatment of excess sludge, and particularly relates to a device and method for promoting the reuse of excess sludge hydrolysis liquid and strengthening nitrogen and phosphorus removal based on nitrogen and phosphorus recovery. Background Art

[0002] A large amount of excess sludge is generated during the sewage treatment process. Improper treatment and disposal of excess sludge will cause greater environmental pollution. Reduction, resource utilization, and harmless treatment are the main research directions for sludge treatment and disposal. Excess sludge contains a large amount of organic matter. The sludge hydrolysis and acidification technology can convert the organic matter in the sludge into volatile fatty acids while reducing the total amount of sludge. The volatile fatty acids produced by the hydrolysis and acidification of excess sludge can be used as the carbon source for the nitrogen and phosphorus removal process, effectively supplementing the deficiencies of rbCOD and VFA in the influent of the sewage treatment plant and improving the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency. By fully exploiting and utilizing the "internal carbon source" of the sewage treatment plant, the cost of the sewage treatment plant can be effectively reduced, and the operation stability and reliability of the sewage treatment system can be improved.

[0003] The hydrolysis acidification liquid produced by the hydrolysis and acidification of excess sludge contains considerable amounts of dissolved proteins, polysaccharides, and VFAs. At the same time, the nitrogen and phosphorus in the excess sludge are also released. Both nitrogen and phosphorus are key elements in industry and agriculture and play an important role in economic development. Phosphate rock is a non-renewable resource. Therefore, recovering nitrogen and phosphorus from the hydrolysis acidification liquid has double benefits of economy and environmental protection, which meets the needs of ecological civilization construction; the struvite crystallization method can not only simultaneously recover nitrogen and phosphorus in the hydrolysis liquid but also produce struvite with economic value, which can be used as an agricultural slow-release fertilizer.
