Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and particularly to a method and apparatus for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal wastewater treatment. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of social industrialization and the gradual improvement of people's living standards, human activities generate a large amount of pollutants containing various elements such as C, N, and P, which are discharged into rivers, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem, leading to eutrophication of water bodies, and gradually deteriorating water quality. This results in water resource shortages.
[0003] Traditional wastewater treatment technologies face challenges such as low nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency, strong carbon source dependence, and high sludge production. Current mainstream processes include biological methods, chemical precipitation, and adsorption, which suffer from high costs and the risk of secondary pollution. Emerging technologies such as sulfur autotrophic denitrification, anaerobic ammonia oxidation, and biochar / mineral-based adsorption materials have become research hotspots due to their low-carbon, high-efficiency, and sustainable characteristics. They are particularly suitable for treating wastewater with low carbon-to-nitrogen ratios, driving the development of advanced nitrogen and phosphorus removal technologies for wastewater.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN 102923853 A discloses a wastewater treatment method involving coupled sulfur autotrophic denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation for sulfur and nitrogen removal. This method utilizes sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria under anaerobic conditions to reduce nitrates to nitrites, while simultaneously oxidizing sulfides to elemental sulfur. Nitrites and ammonia nitrogen undergo autotrophic denitrification under the action of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, generating nitrogen gas. An EGSB reactor is selected, inoculated with heterotrophic granular methanogenic bacteria or denitrifying bacteria, and the temperature is controlled between 25 and 35°C. The method involves gradually acclimating anaerobic granular sludge with coupled sulfur autotrophic denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (AAO). First, an EGSB reactor is started with low-COD wastewater. Anaerobic AAO bacteria are initially enriched in the reactor using nitrite and ammonia nitrogen as influent. Then, sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria are gradually enriched using sulfide, nitrate, and ammonia nitrogen as influent. The reaction type is guided by controlling the ratio of sulfide to nitrate nitrogen (i.e., the sulfur-nitrogen molar ratio), ensuring the products are elemental sulfur and nitrite, thus achieving coupling with AAO. This coupling of sulfur autotrophic denitrification and AAO is achieved through the regulation of the reaction substrate and process conditions. However, this method has a long acclimation period, carries the risk of nitrite accumulation, and the high upflow velocity may lead to the loss of fine sludge. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The present invention also provides a method for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal wastewater treatment, implemented based on the above-mentioned simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal wastewater treatment device, comprising:
[0042] Surface-modified three-dimensional network PVDC fibers were fixed inside a culture tank containing anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. Modified sulfur autotrophic particles and sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria were attached to the surface-modified three-dimensional network PVDC fibers to obtain surface-modified three-dimensional network PVDC filler.
[0043] Surface-modified three-dimensional network PVDC packing was filled into an upflow reactor;
[0044] In the influent preparation unit, the anoxic tank mixed liquor and effluent are mixed at a volume ratio of 1:(3-5) to make NH4+... + / NO3 - The molar ratio was maintained between 0.8 and 1.2, the water temperature was controlled between 10 and 35°C, and the hydraulic load was maintained between 0.6 and 1.2 m. 3 / (m 2 The water is introduced into the upflow reactor from bottom to top through the inlet distributor, with a hydraulic retention time of 1 to 2 hours.
[0045] The treated water is discharged from the top outlet of the upflow reactor and enters the sedimentation tank or filtration unit. It is discharged after the effluent test indicators meet the standards.
[0046] The backwash water is collected from the first drain valve and settled in the sludge thickening tank. The supernatant is returned to the influent mixing unit from the second drain valve, and the sludge enters the recycling unit through the sludge discharge pipe at the bottom of the sludge thickening tank.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application include:
[0048] (1) Based on the synergistic effect of sulfur autotrophic short-cut denitrification and sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation, this application can achieve efficient, low-consumption, and sustainable nitrogen and phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment plant effluent with low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. In the process of sulfur autotrophic denitrification, sulfides act as electron donors to reduce nitrates to nitrogen gas, and sulfur is oxidized to sulfate. In the sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation process, sulfate acts as an oxidant to oxidize ammonia to nitrogen gas. At the same time, ferrous ions released from pyrite react with phosphate in wastewater to form ferrous phosphate precipitate, and the phosphate removal rate is as high as 85% or more. Iron, as an essential nutrient element for the growth and metabolism of anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria, can also significantly improve the activity of anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria.
[0049] (2) In the device for treating wastewater by synergistic action of sulfur autotrophic short-cut denitrification and sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidation, the carrier for loading sulfur autotrophic particles is a surface-modified three-dimensional network PVDC fiber. The PVDC fiber is grafted with highly hydrophilic substances such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, acrylic acid, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate to improve its hydrophilicity and water permeability. Polyethylene glycol-6000 is used as a pore-forming agent. Polyethylene glycol-6000 has a moderate molecular weight, which can form a gradient pore structure of "micropore-macropore", which is suitable for the attachment of sulfur autotrophic bacteria and sulfate-type anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria, as well as the mass transfer of substrate, without causing pore collapse due to excessive molecular weight. Finally, chitosan solution and glutaraldehyde are used to modify the surface of PVDC fiber. Through electrostatic adsorption and chemical cross-linking, the bacterial contact area is expanded, and the initial attachment rate of bacteria on the fiber surface is improved, which can reduce biological loss during the backwashing process.
[0050] (3) The modified sulfur autotrophic particles used in the device for synergistic treatment of wastewater by sulfur autotrophic short-cut denitrification and sulfate-type anaerobic ammonia oxidation of the present invention first load sulfur powder and pyrite powder onto biochar, mix with calcite powder and graphene for granulation. The high specific surface area of biochar can prevent the agglomeration of sulfur powder and pyrite powder and improve dispersibility. The conductivity of biochar and graphene can promote electron transfer between microorganisms and sulfur and FeS2. At the same time, sulfur oxidase is loaded on the surface of biochar to accelerate the oxidation of sulfur to sulfate by enzyme-catalyzed reaction, thereby improving treatment efficiency.

[0124] According to Tables 1 to 4, the NH4+ in the effluent from the wastewater treated by the packing materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 + -N content, NO3 - The NH4+ content, total phosphorus (TP) content, and total nitrogen (TN) content were all lower than those of the wastewater treated by the packing materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 6. + -N, NO3 - The removal rates of -N, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen were all higher than those of the wastewater treated by the packing materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 6.
[0125] In Comparative Example 1, no hydrophilic modifier was added to the PVDC fibers used in the preparation process. As a result, the PVDC fibers had poor water permeability, which hindered substrate diffusion. The hydrophobic surface was not conducive to the initial adhesion of microorganisms, resulting in slow biofilm formation and uneven biofilm thickness. The biofilm was prone to local detachment, which affected long-term stability.
[0126] In Comparative Example 2, the PVDC fibers used in the apparatus were not prepared using the pore-forming agent polyethylene glycol-6000, which was not conducive to the attachment of sulfur autotrophic bacteria and sulfate-type anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, as well as substrate mass transfer.
[0127] In Comparative Example 3, the PVDC fibers used in the apparatus were not surface-modified using a chitosan impregnation followed by glutaraldehyde cross-linking. Unmodified PVDC fibers have poor hydrophilicity, leading to uneven distribution of sulfur autotrophic particles and reduced bacterial adhesion to the fiber surface. 2+ The release rate is unstable, and particulate matter is easily lost during backwashing.
[0128] In Comparative Example 4, the sulfur autotrophic particles filled in PVDC fibers did not use coconut shell carbon powder as a carrier to load sulfur powder and pyrite. In Comparative Example 5, the sulfur autotrophic particles filled in PVDC fibers did not contain graphene. The high specific surface area of biochar can prevent the agglomeration of sulfur powder and pyrite powder and improve dispersibility. Without biochar as a carrier, when sulfur powder and pyrite are directly stacked, electron transfer relies on physical contact, which is prone to particle agglomeration or surface passivation, leading to a decrease in sulfur utilization, pH fluctuations, and the risk of by-product accumulation. Without the addition of graphene, the electron transfer efficiency is significantly reduced, which will also lead to a decrease in sulfur utilization. Biochar and graphene can synergistically improve the electron transfer rate between microorganisms and sulfur and FeS2, and accelerate the denitrification rate. In Comparative Example 6, the sulfur autotrophic particles filled in PVDC fibers did not load sulfur oxidase. The high conductivity of coconut shell carbon powder and graphene can act as an electron bridge to accelerate the extracellular electron transfer of microorganisms. At the same time, the enzymatic reaction can accelerate the oxidation of sulfur to sulfate, thereby improving the treatment efficiency. Therefore, the NH4 in the wastewater effluent treated in Comparative Examples 4 to 6 + -N content, NO3 - The content of -N, total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) were significantly higher than those in Examples 1 to 3.
[0129] In summary, the experiments have demonstrated that the surface-modified three-dimensional mesh PVDC fiber-loaded modified sulfur autotrophic particles prepared according to Examples 1 to 3 of this invention can effectively remove nitrogen and phosphorus in the reactor through short-cut denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation, thereby improving water quality.
[0130] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
