[0021] In the above technical solution, in step S3, before the landfill leachate enters the first stripping treatment unit, a sodium hypochlorite solution is added to the landfill leachate to carry out the following reaction:

[0027] In the above technical solution, in step S6, before the landfill leachate enters the filtration mechanism, concentrated sulfuric acid is added to the landfill leachate to adjust the pH value of the landfill leachate to 6.2-6.5.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] This embodiment provides a method for treating landfill leachate, which can be used to purify landfill leachate and remove pollutants contained in it.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 The landfill leachate treatment method of this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0036] S1. The landfill leachate is introduced into the equalization tank 1 for preliminary sedimentation, homogenization, equalization and anaerobic pretreatment.
[0037] In this step, the landfill leachate can be treated as follows through the equalization tank mechanism 1:
[0038] Preliminary sedimentation: This process involves the initial sedimentation and separation of suspended solids in landfill leachate, providing a load buffer for the landfill leachate treatment system and preventing drastic changes in the system's load.
[0039] Homogenization: Prevents high concentrations of pollutants from directly entering the landfill leachate treatment system, ensuring the leachate water quality is balanced and facilitating the smooth progress of subsequent processes.
[0040] Equal flow: Adjust the amount of leachate to ensure a balanced flow of leachate into the leachate treatment system.
[0041] Anaerobic pretreatment: Because the landfill leachate stays in the equalization tank 1 for a long time, an anaerobic effect is formed, which can degrade some organic pollutants by anaerobic microorganisms.
[0042] S2. The landfill leachate treated by the homogenization tank enters the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2, where microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 remove phosphorus pollutants, ammonium compounds, and nitrogen compounds from the landfill leachate, and degrade organic pollutants in the landfill leachate through the microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2.
[0043] This step can effectively reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus values of landfill leachate.
[0044] S3. The landfill leachate treated by the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 enters the first stripping treatment unit 3 to further remove ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds from the landfill leachate.
[0045] Specifically, the first stripping treatment unit 3 is equipment for performing the stripping denitrification process. In this embodiment, the first stripping treatment unit 3 is a stripping tower. The first stripping treatment unit 3 uses a blower to introduce air into the landfill leachate, allowing the air and leachate to come into full contact. This causes the dissolved gases and volatile solutes in the landfill leachate to pass through the gas-liquid interface and transfer to the gas phase, thereby achieving the purpose of removing pollutants (ammonia and nitrogen oxides). During the stripping denitrification process, the air introduced into the landfill leachate simultaneously plays the roles of oxygenation and chemical oxidation, with the reaction formula being NH3 + H2O → NH4+. 4+ +OH - .
[0046] This step can further reduce the total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen levels in landfill leachate.
[0047] S4. The landfill leachate treated by the first stripping treatment unit 3 enters the biochemical aeration tank unit 4, where microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank unit 4 remove phosphorus pollutants, ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds from the landfill leachate, and degrade organic pollutants in the landfill leachate through the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank unit 4.
[0048] It should be noted that the biological aeration tank mechanism 4 is equipped with a blower and an aeration pipe connected to the blower. This aeration pipe is evenly distributed within the biological aeration tank mechanism 4 and is used to aerate the biological aeration tank mechanism 4. Its function is as follows:
[0049] (1) Increase the dissolved oxygen in the landfill leachate to provide oxygen for the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4.
[0050] (2) Increase the air content in the landfill leachate so that bubbles can be formed on the surface of oil pollutants, and the oil pollutants can be floated to the surface of the landfill leachate for separation and removal.
[0051] (3) Increase the oxygen content in the landfill leachate to prevent the landfill leachate from becoming putrid and to create a certain stirring effect on the landfill leachate to prevent solid matter from settling.
[0052] This step can further reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus values of landfill leachate.
[0053] S5. The landfill leachate treated by the biochemical aeration tank 4 enters the filtration unit 5 to filter out suspended solids, colloids and oil mist in the landfill leachate.
[0054] In this step, the filtration mechanism 5 is specifically: a sand filter mechanism filled with quartz sand, and / or a precision filter mechanism filled with a wire-wound honeycomb filter element / melt-blown filter element; in this embodiment, the filtration mechanism 5 includes a sand filter mechanism and a precision filter mechanism connected in sequence.
[0055] Among them, the sand filter mechanism integrates coagulation reaction, filtration and continuous cleaning, which simplifies the process of landfill leachate treatment and has the characteristics of small footprint, simple structure and flexible and convenient installation and operation.
[0056] Among them, the precision filter mechanism can efficiently remove oil mist and suspended solids in landfill leachate. For suspended solid particles with a diameter of 0.01μm and above, the removal rate is 100%, and the oil mist concentration in the effluent can be controlled at 0.01ppm / wt.
[0057] This step can effectively reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and suspended solids (SS) values of landfill leachate.
[0058] S6. The landfill leachate treated by the filtration unit 5 enters the nanofiltration membrane unit 6 to retain high-valence salt ions, substances with a molecular weight of 200 to 2000 Daltons, and further retain suspended solids, colloids and oil mist in the landfill leachate.
[0059] Among them, the nanofiltration membrane structure 6 has a certain rejection rate for inorganic salts, and the rejection rate for anions increases in the following order: NO3 - Cl - OH - SO4 2- CO3 2- The rejection rates for cations increase in the following order: H + Na + K + Mg 2+ Ca 2+ Cu 2+ .
[0060] This step can effectively reduce the suspended solids (SS) and conductivity of landfill leachate.
[0061] S7. The landfill leachate treated by the nanofiltration membrane unit 6 enters the second stripping treatment unit 7 to further remove ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds from the landfill leachate.
[0062] Specifically, the second stripping treatment unit 7 is the equipment for performing the stripping denitrification process. In this embodiment, the second stripping treatment unit 7 is a stripping tower. The second stripping treatment unit 7 uses a blower to introduce air into the landfill leachate, allowing the air and leachate to come into full contact. This causes the dissolved gases and volatile solutes in the landfill leachate to pass through the gas-liquid interface and transfer to the gas phase, thereby achieving the purpose of removing pollutants (ammonia and nitrogen oxides). During the stripping denitrification process, the air introduced into the landfill leachate simultaneously plays the roles of oxygenation and chemical oxidation, with the reaction formula being NH3 + H2O → NH4+. 4+ +OH - .
[0063] This step can further reduce the total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen levels in landfill leachate.
[0064] S8. The landfill leachate treated by the second stripping treatment unit 7 enters the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8 to intercept monovalent salt ions and small molecule organic pollutants in the landfill leachate.
[0065] Reverse osmosis is a process that uses pressure to force the solvent in a solution through a reverse osmosis membrane (or semi-permeable membrane) to separate it. Reverse osmosis membranes can retain most of the ions and SiO2 in landfill leachate.
[0066] This step can further reduce the suspended solids (SS) and conductivity of landfill leachate.
[0067] S9 and the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8 produce water that meets the discharge standards.
[0068] Furthermore, the method also includes: in step S4, the sludge produced by the biochemical aeration tank 4 is reinjected into the source site of the landfill leachate (i.e., the landfill); in step S6, the concentrate produced by the nanofiltration membrane 6 is reinjected into the source site of the landfill leachate (i.e., the landfill); in step S8, the concentrate produced by the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8 is reinjected into the source site of the landfill leachate (i.e., the landfill).
[0069] A landfill is essentially a quasi-aerobic bioreactor using waste as a filler. The surface of the waste contains numerous bacterial flocs that can adsorb and degrade organic matter in the water. The waste decomposition process is a highly complex biological, chemical, and physical process. Some intermediate products form landfill gas and are discharged from the landfill, while others are washed away and dissolved by infiltrated rainwater and discharged through a collection system, thus generating landfill leachate. The reinjection of sludge from the biochemical aeration tank 4, concentrate from the nanofiltration membrane 6, and concentrate from the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8 allows the intermediate products that have already flowed out of the landfill leachate treatment system to return to their biological reaction process and continue participating in the biological reaction. Therefore, the reinjection treatment essentially continues the biological reaction process of the landfill and will not have an adverse impact on the landfill. On the contrary, it effectively saves on the secondary treatment costs and / or transportation costs of sludge from the biochemical aeration tank 4, concentrate from the nanofiltration membrane 6, and concentrate from the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8.
[0070] Specifically, in step S2, the anaerobic-aerobic treatment mechanism 2 includes an anaerobic tank mechanism 21 and an aerobic tank mechanism 22 connected in sequence; in fact, the anaerobic tank mechanism 21 and the aerobic tank mechanism 22 can be either metal tanks or civil engineering tanks.
[0071] Specifically, in step S2, the removal of phosphorus pollutants from landfill leachate by microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 is achieved by: microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 carrying phosphorus pollutants from the landfill leachate to form sludge; more specifically, under anoxic conditions (i.e., the anaerobic section constructed by the anaerobic tank unit 21), polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 decompose the polyphosphates (Poly-P) stored in their cells, releasing inorganic phosphates into the water, while simultaneously absorbing volatile fatty acids (VFA) from the landfill leachate and synthesizing intracellular stored PHB to provide energy for the subsequent aerobic section. Subsequently, under aerobic conditions (i.e., the aerobic section constructed by the aerobic tank unit 22), polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria utilize the stored PHB for metabolic activities, excessively absorbing phosphates in the water to synthesize ATP and new polyphosphates, with the absorption amount reaching 5-10 times the normal physiological requirements. The polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria carry the phosphates from the landfill leachate to form sludge, thus removing phosphorus pollutants from the landfill leachate (which are discharged with the sludge).
[0072] Similarly, in step S4, the removal of phosphorus pollutants from landfill leachate by microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4 is specifically achieved by the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4 carrying phosphorus pollutants from the landfill leachate to form sludge. More specifically, under anoxic conditions, polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 decompose the polyphosphates (Poly-P) stored in their cells, releasing inorganic phosphates into the water. At the same time, they absorb volatile fatty acids (VFA) from the landfill leachate and synthesize intracellular stored PHB to provide energy for the subsequent aerobic stage. Subsequently, under aerobic conditions, polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria utilize the stored PHB for metabolic activities, excessively absorbing phosphates in the water to synthesize ATP and new polyphosphates. The absorption amount can reach 5-10 times the normal physiological requirements. The polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria carry the phosphates from the landfill leachate to form sludge, thereby removing phosphorus pollutants from the landfill leachate (which are discharged with the sludge).
[0073] Specifically, in step S2, the microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 remove ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds from the landfill leachate. Specifically, the microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 decompose the organic nitrogen in the landfill leachate into ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds; the microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 oxidize the ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds in the landfill leachate into nitrite and / or nitrate through nitrification; and the microorganisms in the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 reduce the nitrite and / or nitrate in the landfill leachate into nitrogen gas through denitrification.
[0074] It is understood that the nitrification reaction mentioned above occurs in the anaerobic tank 21 of the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2, while the denitrification reaction mentioned above occurs in the aerobic tank 22 of the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2. The aerobic tank uses aeration equipment to supply oxygen. In addition, the water temperature of the anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 should be controlled at 20℃~38℃ (which can be achieved through a cooling device) to improve the activity of microorganisms.
[0075] Similarly, in step S4, the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4 remove ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds from the landfill leachate. Specifically, the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4 decompose the organic nitrogen in the landfill leachate into ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds; the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4 oxidize the ammonium compounds and nitrogen compounds in the landfill leachate into nitrite and / or nitrate through nitrification; and the microorganisms in the biochemical aeration tank 4 reduce the nitrite and / or nitrate in the landfill leachate into nitrogen gas through denitrification.
[0076] As can be seen from the above, the biochemical aeration tank 4 is a system in which anaerobic and aerobic reactions occur simultaneously.
[0077] Furthermore, in step S3, before the landfill leachate enters the first stripping treatment unit 3, a sodium hypochlorite solution is added to the landfill leachate to carry out the following reaction:
[0078] NH4 + +HOCl→NH2Cl+H2O+H + ;
[0079] NH₂Cl + HOCl → NH₂ + H₂O;
[0080] NHCl2 + HOCl → NCl3 + H2O;
[0081] This increases the content of free ammonia in landfill leachate.
[0082] As mentioned above, in the stripping process for nitrogen removal, the air introduced into the landfill leachate simultaneously serves to both oxygenate and chemically oxidize the leachate, with the reaction formula being NH3 + H2O → NH4+. 4+ +OH - By adding sodium hypochlorite solution to landfill leachate, the content of free ammonia in the leachate can be increased. Free ammonia is easy to escape from the water. If aeration is added, the ammonia can be further released from the water. Therefore, adding sodium hypochlorite solution to the landfill leachate before it enters the first stripping treatment unit 3 can improve the efficiency and removal rate of the first stripping treatment unit 3 in removing ammonia and nitrogen oxides from the landfill leachate.
[0083] Furthermore, in step S6, before the landfill leachate enters the filtration unit 5, concentrated sulfuric acid is added to the landfill leachate to adjust its pH value to 6.2-6.5. The reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8 has strict requirements on the acidity and alkalinity of the raw water, and the pH value should be controlled at 6.2-6.5. Since the landfill leachate is weakly alkaline after treatment by the first stripping treatment unit 3, it is necessary to add concentrated sulfuric acid to the landfill leachate before it enters the filtration unit 5 to adjust its pH value.
[0084] This embodiment also provides a landfill leachate treatment system that applies the above-described landfill leachate treatment method.
[0085] Please see Figure 1 The landfill leachate treatment system of this embodiment includes an equalization tank 1, an anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2, a first stripping treatment unit 3, a biochemical aeration tank 4, a filtration unit 5, a nanofiltration membrane unit 6, a second stripping treatment unit 7, and a reverse osmosis treatment unit 8, which are connected in sequence.
[0086] The anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2 includes an anaerobic tank unit 21 and an aerobic tank unit 22 connected in sequence.
[0087] Furthermore, the sludge produced by the biochemical aeration tank 4, the concentrate produced by the nanofiltration membrane 6, and the concentrate produced by the reverse osmosis treatment unit 8 can all be reinjected into the source site of the landfill leachate.
[0088] The landfill leachate treatment method and system of this embodiment involves sequentially treating the leachate through an equalization tank 1, an anaerobic-aerobic treatment unit 2, a first stripping treatment unit 3, a biological aeration tank 4, a filtration unit 5, a nanofiltration membrane unit 6, a second stripping treatment unit 7, and a reverse osmosis treatment unit 8. This achieves good purification results and is economically viable. The effluent water quality parameters are: pH 8, color 8, suspended solids 6 mg / L, chemical oxygen demand 10 mg / L, five-day biochemical oxygen demand 3.1 mg / L, ammonia nitrogen 11 mg / L, total phosphorus 0.01 mg / L, total nitrogen 12.1 mg / L, fecal coliforms <20 CFU / L, and arsenic 1.1 × 10⁻⁶ CFU / L. -3 mg / L, mercury is 9.6×10 -4 The concentrations of pollutants in the effluent were: mg / L for lead, 0.02 mg / L for cadmium, 0.001 mg / L for hexavalent chromium, 0.004 mg / L for total chromium, and 0.004 mg / L for total chromium. All parameters of the effluent quality met the requirements of GB16889-2008 "Standard for Pollution Control of Municipal Solid Waste Landfills," and the daily treatment capacity was 150 m³ / L. 3 / d; The landfill leachate treatment method and system of this embodiment have good treatment effects on various organic matter, ammonium compounds, nitrogen compounds, phosphorus pollutants, monovalent salts and divalent salts in landfill leachate, and are suitable for widespread application in landfills.
[0089] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
