Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tail water purification, and particularly relates to a microbial reinforced tail water purification process. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of social economy, the construction scale of urban sewage treatment plants is continuously expanded, but the water environment problems caused by the tail water discharge of sewage treatment plants are increasingly prominent. According to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB18918-2018), the indexes of ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus and COD in the tail water of the first A standard are not more than 5 mg / L, 0.5 mg / L and 50 mg / L respectively, which is equivalent to the level of surface water of inferior V class, while the water function zoning of many receiving water bodies requires to reach the surface water of class III or even higher standards, resulting in that the tail water still causes great pollution pressure to the water body after being discharged.
[0003] At present, the tail water advanced purification technology mainly includes artificial wetland method, advanced filtration method, advanced oxidation method and the like. Among them, the artificial wetland method is widely applied due to low cost and good ecological benefits, but the traditional artificial wetland has obvious defects: first, the purification efficiency is limited, the removal rate of low concentration pollutants is insufficient, and it is difficult to improve the tail water of the first A standard to the surface water of class IV and above; second, the anti-shock load capacity is weak, and is greatly affected by the water quality fluctuation of the influent; third, the microbial community structure is unstable, and the naturally domesticated microorganisms have poor targeting for the degradation of specific pollutants; fourth, the adsorption capacity of the filler is limited, and saturation is easy to occur after long-term operation, resulting in the attenuation of the treatment effect. Although the advanced filtration method and the advanced oxidation method can realize efficient purification, they have problems of high investment cost, large operation energy consumption and complex maintenance, and are not suitable for small towns and basin tail water treatment projects.
[0004] Therefore, it is an urgent need to develop a tail water advanced purification technology with high purification efficiency, strong anti-shock capacity and low operation cost to solve the tail water pollution problem of sewage treatment plants. SUMMARY

[0007] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: S1, the guide pipe network provides a stable conveying channel for the tail water, avoiding the influence of hydraulic impact on the subsequent treatment effect; in S2, the aquatic plants and submerged plants absorb the nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the tail water through the root system, and at the same time, they secrete coagulation aids to promote the sedimentation of colloidal pollutants; in the first type of high-efficiency composite microbial agent, the acid-producing bacteria decompose macromolecular organic matter into small-molecular organic acids to provide carbon sources, the ammonifying bacteria convert organic nitrogen into inorganic ammonia nitrogen, and the phosphorus adsorption bacteria convert soluble phosphorus into solid phosphorus through metabolic action, thereby achieving the pretreatment cooperatively; in S3, in the multi-stage subsurface flow wetland, the composite filler system adsorbs ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus through ion exchange and chemical precipitation, the root system of the emergent plants supplies oxygen to form anoxic, anoxic and anaerobic alternating regions, and in the second type of high-efficiency composite microbial agent, the nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen, the denitrifying bacteria reduce the nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas for release, and the phosphorus accumulating bacteria complete the absorption and release of phosphorus in the anoxic and aerobic alternating environment, thereby achieving efficient removal of pollutants; in S4, the surface flow wetland cooperates with the water plants and microorganisms to achieve deep purification of residual pollutants, and finally the effluent reaches the Class IV standard of surface water.
