Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rainwater treatment, and particularly relates to a bioretention pond with iron cycle synergistically enhancing denitrification. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of the urbanization process, the problem of urban non-point source pollution has become increasingly prominent. Bioretention facilities are the most commonly used single facilities in the construction of sponge cities, which have good removal effects on SS, heavy metals, pathogens, etc., but have low removal efficiencies for dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrate and DON (dissolved organic nitrogen) are the difficult pollutants restricting the improvement of the denitrification efficiency of bioretention facilities.
[0003] Since both natural filter media and nitrate carry negative charges, it is difficult to remove nitrate by electrostatic adsorption. At the same time, the lack of easily degradable organic carbon sources in surface rainfall runoff limits the removal of nitrate through microbial denitrification. Existing technologies have found that setting up a submerged area at the bottom of bioretention facilities and adding solid organic carbon sources can significantly increase the denitrification rate and nitrate removal rate. However, since the carbon release rate of solid organic carbon sources varies with the total carbon amount and operation time, it is impossible to accurately match the carbon release amount of solid organic carbon sources with the demand for carbon sources by heterotrophic denitrification, thus leading to the generation of secondary pollution. On the other hand, how to achieve the removal of DON in the submerged area is still a major difficulty in current research. DON cannot be rapidly removed by ion exchange, and at the same time, the biological metabolism of DON is blocked by dissolved oxygen and microbial activity. DON has a high hydrophilicity and is easily transported with water to the submerged area, but this area lacks sufficient dissolved oxygen and related functional flora, so it is difficult to achieve the biological metabolism of DON. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the above deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bioretention pond with iron cycle synergistically enhancing denitrification, which can ensure the nitrate removal efficiency while realizing the biological metabolism of DON in the submerged area, reduce the generation of by-products, and extend the service life of the packing, so as to solve the problem of poor removal effects of the prior art on nitrate and DON.

The interfacial reaction between iron ions and biochar can strengthen its adsorption of nitrate and organic carbon; at the same time, it can also provide binding sites for iron oxidation and reduction products, avoiding excessive precipitation of iron ions on the surface of microbial cells or being discharged with water; the redox ability of biochar itself will also participate in the iron cycle and electron regulation.

[0018] 3. The present invention utilizes the interaction between biochar and microorganisms. As an electron transfer mediator, biochar can promote the utilization of iron by microorganisms and carry out heterotrophic denitrification and nitrogen removal using the adsorbed organic carbon. Meanwhile, the rich pore structure inside biochar can not only increase the active microbial biomass but also form different ecological niches to increase microbial diversity, promoting the iron cycle and the denitrification process.
[0019] 4. The present invention discovers that compared with the traditional layered structure that is prone to a sudden drop in the permeability coefficient due to the migration of fine particles, through the particle size gradient control (0.125 - 2 mm) of the quartz sand transition layer and the skeleton support effect of the submerged biochar layer, the permeability coefficient of each layer is stabilized at 300 - 500 mm / h, which is improved compared with the conventional system and can effectively avoid the risk of waterlogging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0022] The present invention will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Unless otherwise specified in specific cases, the numerical ranges listed herein include the upper and lower limit values, as well as all integers and fractions within the range, rather than the specific values listed when defining the range.
[0024] I. A bioretention pond for iron cycle synergistic enhanced denitrification
[0025] The bioretention pond described in the present invention comprises a pond body. Inside the pond body, there are successively arranged, from top to bottom along the vertical direction, a water storage layer, a gravel layer, an aerobic layer, an organic carbon source layer, a submerged layer, a quartz sand transition layer and a pebble drainage layer. Among them, the aerobic layer is filled with quartz sand and zeolite materials in a graded mixture, the organic carbon source layer is filled with quartz sand and wood chips in a graded mixture, and the submerged layer is filled with quartz sand, biochar and hematite in a graded mixture. At the same time, denitrifying sludge, iron-reducing sludge and Feammox sludge are inoculated in the submerged layer. A perforated collector pipe is arranged in the pebble drainage layer. One end of the perforated collector pipe is communicated with the pebble drainage layer, and the other end thereof is communicated with the water inlet end of a raised outlet pipe. An overflow pond is also arranged on one side of the pond body. The water outlet end of the raised outlet pipe is communicated with the overflow pond, and the water discharged from the overflow pond flows into the municipal rainwater pipe network. An overflow pipe is arranged at the top of the pond body, and the overflow pipe is communicated with the overflow pond.
[0026] After in-depth research on traditional bioretention systems, the present invention found that, firstly, traditional bioretention systems mainly rely on carbon-source-driven heterotrophic denitrification, and the denitrification effect is poor when the C / N ratio is low. In response to this, the present invention conceives a multi-path denitrification synergy mechanism combining iron redox cycling, Feammox, and iron autotrophic denitrification to improve the denitrification efficiency under low C / N ratio conditions. Secondly, traditional bioretention systems mainly use iron materials as electron donors or for coprecipitation phosphorus removal, and iron ions are prone to loss or passivation. Therefore, the present invention conceives to stabilize the denitrification process through biochar, promote the circulation of iron redox in the submerged area of the bioretention pond, and improve the denitrification efficiency and long-term stability. Thirdly, traditional bioretention systems are mainly dominated by heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria, and the microbial population is relatively single. The DON migrated with water to the submerged area is difficult to be degraded by microorganisms. Therefore, the present invention adopts a composite microbial system, including heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria, iron-reducing bacteria, Feammox bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria, etc., to form an efficient and sustainable denitrification system. Finally, the fillers in traditional bioretention systems are prone to clogging and the water flow distribution is uneven, resulting in short-circuiting phenomena. The present invention conceives to optimize the hydraulic characteristics, adopt a reasonable filler particle gradation, improve the permeability, prevent clogging, and increase the hydraulic retention time. Among them, the denitrifying sludge, iron-reducing sludge, and Feammox sludge all come from the activated sludge of a sewage treatment plant. There are relatively abundant heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria and other bacteria in this activated sludge. However, the sludge is a mixture, and the microorganisms contained in the sludge at this time are a mixture of various bacteria, and the abundances of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria, Feammox functional bacteria, etc. in the sludge are relatively low. In order to increase the abundance of functional bacteria with a certain specific function in these mixed bacteria, it is necessary to enrich and culture the activated sludge. The qualified standard for enrichment culture is that the removal effect of a certain type of pollutant in the influent by the sludge after enrichment culture reaches more than 90%. For example, the denitrifying sludge is sourced from the sludge of a sewage treatment plant, and the sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria in the sludge are enriched by adding substrates mainly composed of thiosulfate and nitrate, so as to increase the abundance of autotrophic denitrifying bacteria in the sludge, and it is used as denitrifying sludge after enrichment culture. The Feammox sludge is also sourced from the sludge of a sewage treatment plant, and the Feammox bacteria and iron autotrophic denitrifying bacteria are enriched by adding substrates mainly composed of hematite and ammonium chloride, so as to obtain Feammox sludge. The iron-reducing sludge is also sourced from the sludge of a sewage treatment plant, and the sulfur and iron-reducing bacteria are enriched by adding substrates mainly composed of sodium pyruvate, sulfate, and ferric chloride, so as to obtain iron-reducing sludge. Inoculating and domesticating various sludges in the bioretention pond can increase the abundance of functional bacteria in the bioretention pond, enabling them to survive and cooperate in denitrification in this environment.
[0027] On this basis, the present invention adopts graded mixed filling for the aerobic layer, organic carbon source layer and submerged layer, that is: fillers of different particle sizes are used for mixed filling, especially the preparation of the rainwater runoff treatment matrix is strictly controlled, otherwise it will cause various problems. Uneven proportions may cause facility collapse or particle leakage; too fine a particle size will reduce hydraulic performance and increase the risk of clogging; and too coarse a particle size may weaken the pollutant removal capacity, reduce water retention, and destroy the oxygen-deficient environment of the submerged area. Therefore, a reasonable ratio is crucial to ensure matrix stability, permeability and pollutant removal effects. Figure 1 As shown, the biological retention pond of the present invention includes a pond body, which includes an aquifer, a gravel layer, an aerobic layer, an organic carbon source layer, a submerged layer, a quartz sand transition layer and a pebble drainage layer from top to bottom. A perforated water collecting pipe is arranged in the pebble drainage layer, and the perforated water collecting pipe is connected to a raised water outlet pipe. The water outlet end of the raised water outlet pipe is raised to half the thickness of the organic carbon source layer and is flush with it. An overflow pipe is arranged at the top of the pond body. A diversion slope is arranged at the edge of the pond body mouth.
[0028] During the long-term operation of the retention pond of the present invention, when the treatment effect of the rainwater biological retention pond decreases, maintenance can be achieved by simply renovating the aerobic layer matrix and the organic carbon source layer matrix.
[0029] Assume that the ratio of the surface area of the bioretention pond described in the present invention to the catchment area is 1:20, and the comprehensive runoff coefficient is taken as 0.7. When the present invention deals with low-intensity rainfall (defined as rainfall not exceeding 14.9 mm within 12 hours), the water flow velocity is appropriate and the retention time is relatively long, which is conducive to the full contact between pollutants and fillers. The gravel layer plays a role in evenly distributing water, provides a good infiltration channel, and prevents short-circuit flow. In the aerobic layer, quartz sand and zeolite with reasonable particle grading preferentially remove pollutants such as suspended particles, ammonia nitrogen, and dissolved phosphorus. At the same time, nitrification occurs during the rainfall interval, that is, microorganisms convert the adsorbed ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen under aerobic conditions. The organic carbon source layer further removes some particulate pollutants through the combination of quartz sand and wood chips, and provides an organic carbon source to promote the metabolism of heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria and iron- and sulfur-reducing bacteria. The synergistic effect of hematite (Fe2O3) and Feammox bacteria inside the submerged layer can further achieve the removal of DON and its deamination products. At the same time, the synergistic effect of sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria and iron autotrophic denitrifying bacteria further improves the denitrification efficiency and reduces the risk of water eutrophication. The quartz sand transition layer can protect the fillers in the submerged area and prevent leakage. The pebble drainage layer diverts the treated rainwater and prevents waterlogging. During heavy rainfall or even rainstorms, the treatment capacity of the bioretention pond is greatly tested. The setting of the water storage layer can ensure that the bioretention pond absorbs and retains part of the rainwater in a short time, reduces the peak flow of surface runoff, and reduces the flood risk. The quartz sand gradation of each layer is reasonable, ensuring a high permeability and simultaneously performing gradient filtration on pollutants. Materials such as coconut shell biochar enhance the adsorption capacity for organic pollutants and can effectively purify rainwater even under short-term high-flow conditions. When the rainfall intensity exceeds the infiltration and storage capacity of the retention pond, some rainwater may be discharged from the overflow outlet. However, since the initial pollutants have been reduced, the pollution of the discharged water to the downstream water body is relatively low.

[0061] The quartz sand transition layer is composed of the following materials mixed by volume ratio: 30% quartz sand (1 - 2 mm), 40% quartz sand (0.425 - 0.85 mm), 10% quartz sand (0.175 - 0.425 mm), and 20% quartz sand (0.125 - 0.175 mm).
[0062] The pebble particle size in the pebble drainage layer is 6 - 9 mm.
[0063] The above are the differences between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, and other structures are exactly the same as those in Example 1.
[0064] The rainwater pollutant removal tests of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 were carried out. Assuming that the facility service area ratio is 1:20, the runoff coefficient is 0.7, the rainfall duration is 2 h, the rainfall amount is 12 mm, and rainfall is simulated once every three days and the removal efficiency of total nitrogen is measured. The test results of total nitrogen removal are shown in Table 1.
[0065] Table 1 Average total nitrogen removal rate of simulated runoff pollution (%)
[0066]
[0067] As can be seen from Table 1, the present invention significantly improves the total nitrogen removal rate. Example 1: It is overall stable, indicating that the system operates stably and reliably; the removal rate remains at a high level during long-term operation after rain (such as on March 25th and March 28th), indicating that the system has the ability to resist shock loads. Comparative Example 1: The removal rate is maintained at about 60%, without obvious fluctuations, but there is no further room for improvement. Comparative Example 2: The initial effect is close to that of Example 1, but it drops rapidly, indicating that the microorganisms or carbon source supply in the system cannot continuously maintain a high denitrification ability. Therefore, the biological retention pond described in the present invention optimizes the hydraulic structure through multi-path collaborative denitrification, jointly improving the denitrification efficiency and system adaptability. It not only has the advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption, anti-blockage, and long service life, but also has good prospects for popularization and application.
[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that any modifications or equivalent replacements made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the purpose and scope of the present technical solution shall be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
