Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular to a method for reviving stored aerobic granular sludge with a combination of AHLs. Background Art
[0002] Aerobic granular sludge is an efficient biological treatment technology, which has good sedimentation performance, high biological activity and the ability to remove pollutants. However, aerobic granular sludge is prone to losing its activity and stability during storage, resulting in a decline in its treatment efficiency.
[0003] N-acylhomoserinelactones (AHLs) are a class of signal molecules widely present in bacteria, and they play an important role in intercellular communication and quorum sensing. In the aerobic granular sludge technology, AHLs are also considered an important regulatory factor that can affect the formation and stability of aerobic granular sludge. By adding AHLs externally, the cost of aerobic granular sludge can be reduced. This is because AHLs are simple chemical substances, and their synthesis and production costs are relatively low, and the cost of aerobic granular sludge can be reduced through large-scale production and commercial application.
[0004] Currently, in aerobic granular sludge, aerobic granular sludge is a complex ecosystem composed of various microorganisms, and different microorganisms may synthesize different types of AHLs. The concentration of AHLs may be affected by the number and activity of microorganisms. If the number of microorganisms is small or their activity is low, then the concentration of AHLs may be low, thus affecting their role in intercellular communication and quorum sensing. Appropriate types, concentrations and ratios of AHLs are an important research topic for reviving stored aerobic granular sludge. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for reviving stored aerobic granular sludge with a combination of AHLs, so as to improve its activity and stability, and thus improve the sewage treatment efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the AHLs combination includes one or more of C6 - HSL, C8 - HSL, C10 - HSL, and C12 - HSL. The molar concentration ratio of C6 - HSL, C8 - HSL, C10 - HSL, and C12 - HSL is 1:1:1:1, 1:1:1:0, 1:1:0:0, or 1:0:0:0; the 1:1:1:1 represents equal molar concentrations of C6 - HSL, C8 - HSL, C10 - HSL, and C12 - HSL, the 1:1:1:0 represents equal molar concentrations of any three of C6 - HSL, C8 - HSL, C10 - HSL, and C12 - HSL; the 1:1:0:0 represents equal molar concentrations of any two of C6 - HSL, C8 - HSL, C10 - HSL, and C12 - HSL; the 1:0:0:0 represents one of C6 - HSL, C8 - HSL, C10 - HSL, and C12 - HSL.
[0013] Specifically, the sewage treatment system is an aerobic granular sludge process treatment device including an inlet, a reaction tank, a sedimentation tank, and an outlet part.
[0014] Specifically, the aerobic granular sludge is prepared through steps of inoculating sludge, adding carriers, microbial inoculants, the aerobic granular sludge process, and storage.
