Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sewage treatment, in particular to a layered photocatalysis-biodegradation coupling sewage treatment system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, pollutants are discharged into the environment, which has an impact on the ecological environment and human health. In traditional sewage treatment technology, biodegradation of pollutants and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants have played an important role. The efficiency of biodegradation of pollutants is affected by its growth metabolism, pollutant characteristics and environmental conditions, and the degradation effect of high-concentration pollutants is not good. In contrast, photocatalysis can quickly decompose refractory pollutants by generating active oxygen species through the reaction of electron-hole pairs generated by photocatalysts with external substances (such as O2 and H2O), thereby attacking organic compounds to break down pollutants, but this process may cause accumulation of toxic by-products.

[0003] Intimately coupling of photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) as a promising water treatment technology has been greatly developed. This technology combines the characteristics of photocatalytic reaction and biodegradation, and has extraordinary advantages in faster and more thorough purification of most refractory pollutants, while also being economically feasible and environmentally friendly. In the process of simultaneous coupling of photocatalysis and biodegradation, photocatalysis converts refractory compounds into biodegradable products, which helps microorganisms to further utilize the intermediates produced by photocatalysis to convert them into less toxic substances, thereby maintaining the degradation efficiency of pollutants while reducing the toxicity of products.

[0004] The most common ICPB system selects a photocatalytic internal circulation biofilm reaction device, which realizes effective degradation of pollutants by adding photocatalyst-microorganism integrated porous carriers (photocatalysts are fixed on the surface of the carriers, and biofilms grow inside the carriers) to it. The system provides oxygen through an external aeration device to establish a water and carrier gas lift circulation, and under the irradiation of an external light source, the photocatalyst and microorganism on the porous carrier couple to degrade pollutants. In addition, some studies directly mix dispersed photocatalysts with biofilms to construct ICPB systems for degrading pollutants. Although many achievements have been made in the application of ICPB technology, the light-shielding effect of biofilm fillers and the difficulty in separating photocatalysts and biofilms still hinder the practical application of ICPB. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to overcome the above technical deficiencies, provide a layered photocatalysis-biodegradation coupling sewage treatment system and method, solve the technical problems of low photocatalytic efficiency caused by the light shielding effect of the biological membrane filler and the difficulty in separating the photocatalyst and the biological membrane in the ICPB system of the prior art.

[0034] Preferably, the wastewater contains sulfonamide antibiotics.

[0035] The main advantages of this invention are: (1) The present invention innovatively constructs a layered photocatalytic-biodegradation coupled wastewater treatment system. Due to the physical separation of the opaque glass plate, the direct light source and the toxic effect of the photocatalyst on the biofilm packing are effectively reduced during the degradation process. (2) In the coupling process, the present invention realizes the physical separation of photocatalysis and biodegradation, which not only reduces the light-blocking effect of biofilm filler, but also facilitates the photocatalyst to make more efficient use of light source and improves resource availability.

[0036] (3) The use of the layered photocatalysis-biodegradation coupling device in this invention helps to separate the photocatalyst and biofilm filler, enhancing the potential for resource reuse.

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0038] Example 1 S1, Preparation of photocatalyst: S11, urea was first heated to 500 °C at a heating rate of 13.5 °C / min and heated at this temperature for 2 h to obtain g-C3N4. 0.01 mol of zinc acetate and 0.03 mol of urea were added to 100 mL of ethylene glycol ultrapure water with a volume ratio of 1:1. After sonication at 100 W for 30 minutes to dissolve the mixture, the resulting first mixed solution was transferred to a 100 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel high-pressure reactor and heated to 160 °C for 12 h. The resulting material was then washed with ultrapure water and dried at 60 °C for 12 h to obtain the ZnO precursor.

[0039] S12, g-C3N4 and ZnO precursor were dispersed in anhydrous ethanol at a weight ratio of 1:1 and dried at 60 °C until the ethanol evaporated completely. The resulting sample was heated to 500 °C at a heating rate of 13.5 °C / min and kept at that temperature for 2 h to obtain ZnO / g-C3N4 photocatalyst.

[0040] S13, Immobilization of the photocatalyst: A 3% sodium alginate solution was sterilized at 121 °C for 30 min and then cooled for later use. Subsequently, the ZnO / C3N4 photocatalyst was dispersed in 10 mL of ultrapure water at a concentration of 300 mg / L, and mixed with the cooled sodium alginate solution at a ratio of 1:1 (v:v) to obtain a second mixed solution. 6 mL of the second mixed solution was added dropwise to 120 mL of anhydrous CaCl2 solution (2wt%) at a rate of 10 mL / min. After curing for 12 h, ZnO / g-C3N4 photocatalyst gel microspheres were obtained.

[0041] S2, Cultivation of biofilm packing material: S21. To cultivate biofilm packing material, 600 mL of activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant was inoculated into a 3 L moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). 1200 K1 carriers were added to the reactor, and cultivation was carried out at a 40% filling rate. The cultivation conditions were: 2.4 L of a solution containing 500 mg L of K1 was added to the MBBR at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24 h. - 1 COD, 100 mg / L -1 NH4 + -N synthetic wastewater is used to promote the rapid growth of activated sludge on the carrier. To eliminate microorganisms that do not easily adhere to the carrier, the activated sludge in the reactor is replaced daily.

[0042] After one week of cultivation, a biofilm grew on the K1 carrier (S22), and the activated sludge was removed from the reactor. The reactor then entered the subsequent operation phase, with the MBBR operating at a 4-hour cycle time, including a 60-minute influent time, a 175-minute aerobic reaction time, and a 5-minute effluent time. At this stage, the synthetic wastewater supplied to the reactor contained 400 mg L / L. -1 COD, 75 mg / L -1 NH4 + -N. The biofilm culture is complete when the biofilm grows stably on the K1 support. S3, Assembly of a layered photocatalytic-biodegradation coupled wastewater treatment system: like Figure 1As shown, the system of this invention is a layered reactor with a movable glass plate. The entire reactor is made of plexiglass, with an effective volume of 400 mL. The partition plate 101 includes a movable black glass plate, specifically a black opaque plexiglass plate. The partition plate 101 (glass plate and its supporting layer) evenly divides the 400 mL effective volume, forming an upper photocatalytic reactor 102 and a lower biodegradation reactor 103. 4 mm holes are evenly distributed on the movable black glass plate for communication between the upper and lower layers. An aeration device 4 is installed outside the reactor to supply dissolved oxygen into the reactor 1. An external magnetic stirrer and a mechanical stirrer are added to ensure uniform agitation of the photocatalyst 2 and the biofilm packing 3 within the reactor 1. Furthermore, an LED light is placed on top of the reactor 1 to provide a light source.

[0043] Test Example 1 A 1 ppm sulfamethoxazole solution was selected as the target pollutant, and a 40 W LED lamp was used as the light source. The photocatalyst concentration was 300 mg / L throughout the experiment. -1 The biofilm packing material has a filling ratio of 5% and an aeration rate of 0.2 L / min. -1 The magnetic stirrer and the mechanical stirrer rotate at 300 rpm and 250 rpm, respectively.

[0044] Five sets of experiments were conducted, namely photolysis, adsorption, biodegradation, photocatalytic degradation, and ICPB degradation. The photolysis group was set up to investigate the degradation of sulfamethoxazole under LED light source irradiation alone. In the adsorption group, the adsorption of sulfamethoxazole on inactivated biofilms and photocatalysts was investigated under dark conditions. The biodegradation, photocatalytic degradation, and ICPB degradation groups were compared through single biodegradation and photocatalytic degradation coupled with ICPB degradation, respectively, to explore the advantages of ICPB coupled degradation of sulfamethoxazole. It is particularly noteworthy that the biodegradation group was conducted under dark conditions to protect the biofilm packing material from light exposure, while the photocatalytic degradation and ICPB degradation groups were conducted under light conditions. Photolysis group: LED light source only + photocatalytic reactor (no photocatalyst) + biodegradation reactor (no biofilm packing). Adsorption group: dark conditions + photocatalytic reactor (containing photocatalyst) + biodegradation reactor (containing inactivated biofilm packing); Biodegradation group: Dark conditions only + biodegradation reactor (including biofilm packing); Photocatalytic degradation group: LED light source + photocatalytic reactor (including photocatalyst) only; ICPB degradation group: LED light source + photocatalytic reactor (including photocatalyst) + biodegradation reactor (including biofilm packing).

[0045] Experimental results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the removal efficiencies of sulfamethoxazole in the adsorption, photolysis, and biodegradation systems were 5.3%, 7.0%, and 10.2%, respectively. This indicates that the physical separation of the photocatalyst from the biofilm packing has almost no effect on the degradation of sulfamethoxazole in the adsorption, photolysis, and biodegradation systems.

[0046] In the ICPB system, the degradation rate of sulfamethoxazole reached 86.6%, which is not much different from the removal rate of sulfamethoxazole in the photocatalytic degradation group (87.9%), demonstrating the good degradation efficiency of the stratified ICPB system.

[0047] Test Example 2 Escherichia coli K12 was selected to test the antibacterial activity of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and its photocatalytic, biochemical, and ICPB conversion products. The toxicity assessment experiment consisted of five groups: a control group, a sulfamethoxazole group, a biodegradation effluent group, a photocatalytic degradation effluent group, and an ICPB degradation effluent group. The measurement volume was 150 mL, and each group was tested in parallel.

[0048] (1) Control group: 148 mL of sterilized LB medium was used as a negative control; (2) SMX group: SMX was added to 148 mL of sterilized LB medium to make the concentration 1 mg L. -1 ; (3) Biodegradation effluent group: 148 mL LB medium was prepared using the solution after the biodegradation experiment; (4) Photocatalytic degradation of water: 148 mL of LB medium was prepared using the solution after the photocatalytic reaction. (5) ICPB degradation effluent group: 148 mL LB medium was prepared using the solution after the ICPB experimental reaction.

[0049] The biodegradation, photocatalytic degradation, and ICPB degradation effluent groups were prepared from the reaction solutions after each experimental reaction. After centrifugation, the reaction solutions were filtered through a 0.22 μm syringe filter. Tryptone, yeast extract, and sodium chloride were then added to the reaction solutions according to the LB medium formula. After dissolution, the pH was adjusted to 7.4 using 1 M sodium hydroxide solution to prepare the corresponding culture medium solutions. All culture medium solutions inoculated with *E. coli* were placed in an incubator and shaken at 30℃, 120 rpm. Samples of 2 mL (11% of the total volume) were taken at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h. The optical density of the samples was measured at 600 nm using a UV spectrophotometer. A curve showing the change in optical density over time was plotted, which represents the growth curve of *E. coli*.

[0050] Experimental results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the toxicity of the degradation products from the ICPB system is significantly lower than that from photocatalytic degradation products, demonstrating the advantage of the ICPB system in reducing the toxicity of recalcitrant pollutants.

[0051] Based on the combined results of Experiments 1 and 2, the layered photocatalytic-biodegradation coupled wastewater treatment system of this invention significantly reduces the toxicity of degradation products while maintaining high degradation efficiency of sulfamethoxazole, thus reducing the need for secondary treatment of toxic photocatalytic products. After the experiment, the photocatalyst and biofilm packing material are easily separated, facilitating the subsequent resource utilization of both the photocatalyst and microorganisms.

[0052] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made in accordance with the technical concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
