Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular to a rapid sedimentation ECIS sewage treatment process. Background Art
[0002] In "ECIS," "E" stands for micro-physicochemical, "C" for microcarriers, "I" for micro-electrolysis, and "S" for sequential batching. Sequential batching refers to the entire sewage treatment process, where wastewater is treated in batches according to specific steps. For example, if one treatment cycle is completed in six hours, four batches of sewage can be treated in one day. "ECIS" refers to a method of treating sewage using electrolysis and the addition of microbial carriers.
[0003] A Chinese invention patent, currently published as "CN117303651B," discloses an ECIS (Electrochemical Insulator) four-micro physicochemical membrane small-scale sewage treatment device. The ECIS sewage treatment process comprises six stages: electrolysis, anaerobic biochemical treatment, anoxic biochemical treatment, aerobic biochemical treatment, electroflocculation, and filtration. Sewage typically contains both small solid particles and organic pollutants. Therefore, sewage treatment requires sedimentation of the solid pollutants, followed by electrolysis to break the organic pollutants into small organic and inorganic molecules that attach to microbial carriers. However, due to their small size, the small solid pollutant particles settle slowly, significantly reducing sewage treatment efficiency. Furthermore, organic pollutants are highly toxic, and breaking the bonds easily generates new waste, causing secondary pollution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rapid sedimentation ECIS sewage treatment process to solve the problem of how to quickly settle small solid particles and efficiently and safely treat organic pollutants.
[0005] A rapid sedimentation ECIS wastewater treatment process comprises the following steps:
[0006] S1: Electrolysis stage: The sewage is passed into a treatment tank with an electrode assembly for electrolysis. The electrode assembly includes aluminum electrodes and iron electrodes arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. Aerobic sludge granules (AGS) are added to the treatment tank. The aerobic sludge granules (AGS) are cultivated with anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria.
[0007] S2: Anaerobic stage in biochemical treatment: After the sewage is electrolyzed, the water flow is stopped and the sewage in the treatment tank is left to stand, where some sediment settles;
[0008] S3: Anoxic stage in biochemical treatment: The aeration fan at the bottom of the treatment tank is turned on and operates in a 5-minute on and 10-minute off mode. With each aeration, the dissolved oxygen content in the sewage increases, and the dissolved oxygen content gradually decreases during the aeration interval. This anoxic stage lasts for 1 hour.
[0009] S4: Aerobic stage in biochemical treatment: Aeration allows the microbial carriers in the water to fully contact with oxygen, and the aerobic stage lasts for 120 minutes;
[0010] S5: Flocculation and sedimentation stage: After the aerobic stage is completed, the aeration fan is turned off, and polyacrylate ammonium flocculant and photocatalyst are added to the treatment tank. The xenon lamp is turned on to irradiate the sewage in the treatment tank. The polyacrylate ammonium adsorbs pollutants in the water and flocculates and precipitates into large particles of sludge. The photocatalyst degrades organic matter under the irradiation of the xenon lamp. After the flocculation and degradation are completed, the sewage is allowed to stand and settle into large particles of sludge.
[0011] S6: Filtration stage: After settling in the treatment tank, the sewage with large particles of sludge is passed into the filter tank. The filter components in the filter tank filter the sewage. The filter components filter the large particles of sludge and discharge them from the bottom of the filter tank. The clean water is discharged from the side of the filter tank to the clean water drain pipe, and then passes through the tubular ultraviolet sterilizer to complete the entire sewage treatment process.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:
[0013] 1. The use of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria to cultivate aerobic sludge particles (AGS) has low energy consumption, can save oxygen supply energy consumption and save costs;
[0014] 2. Aluminum electrode electrolysis produces aluminum ions, which are cations, and bacteria produced by sewage electrolysis are anions. Aluminum ions can generate bridges to strengthen the connection between particles in sewage, prompting them to aggregate to form larger flocs, and then use polyacrylate ammonium flocculant for flocculation. Polyacrylate ammonium has high molecular weight and solid content, with a molecular weight of 2.11 million and a solid content of 33.29%. The emulsion flocculant has good stability and water solubility, and has good flocculation performance for red mud. The sedimentation rate can reach 5.8 mL / s, and the turbidity of the supernatant is 105.5 NTU. The combination of aluminum ions and polyacrylate ammonium achieves the purpose of rapid flocculation and sedimentation; a photocatalyst is used to degrade organic matter in sewage under the irradiation of a xenon lamp to avoid secondary pollution caused by the sewage discharged after treatment.

[0020] Step 1: Preparation of water phase:

[0050] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0051] A rapid sedimentation ECIS wastewater treatment process, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0052] S1: Electrolysis stage: The sewage is passed into a treatment tank with an electrode assembly for electrolysis. The electrode assembly includes aluminum electrodes and iron electrodes arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. Aerobic sludge granules (AGS) are added to the treatment tank. The aerobic sludge granules (AGS) are cultivated with anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria.
[0053] S2: Anaerobic stage in biochemical treatment: After the sewage is electrolyzed, the water flow is stopped and the sewage in the treatment tank is left to stand, where some sediment settles;
[0054] S3: Anoxic stage in biochemical treatment: The aeration fan at the bottom of the treatment tank is turned on and operates in a 5-minute on and 10-minute off mode. With each aeration, the dissolved oxygen content in the sewage increases, and the dissolved oxygen content gradually decreases during the aeration interval. This anoxic stage lasts for 1 hour.

[0056] S5: Flocculation and sedimentation stage: After the aerobic stage is completed, the aeration fan is turned off, and polyacrylate ammonium flocculant and photocatalyst are added to the treatment tank. The xenon lamp is turned on to irradiate the sewage in the treatment tank. The polyacrylate ammonium adsorbs pollutants in the water and flocculates and precipitates into large particles of sludge. The photocatalyst degrades organic matter under the irradiation of the xenon lamp.

The clean water is led out of the outlet to the clean water pipe, and then passes through the tubular ultraviolet sterilizer to complete the entire sewage treatment process.
[0058] Ammonium polyacrylate flocculant is used for flocculation. The molecular weight and solid content of ammonium polyacrylate are both very high, with a molecular weight of 2.11 million and a solid content of 33.29%. The emulsion flocculant has good stability and water solubility, and has excellent flocculation performance on red mud. It can accelerate the sedimentation rate, which can reach 5.8mL / s, and the turbidity of the supernatant is 105.5NTU.
