Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater biological treatment technology, and in particular to a process for the combined treatment of antibiotic wastewater using a composite microbial-MBR membrane. Background Technology
[0002] Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic widely used in human medicine, animal husbandry, and aquaculture. Its molecule contains an aromatic sulfonamide structure, making it difficult to completely remove by conventional activated sludge or anaerobic / aerobic combinations, often leaving residues in effluent and sludge. Even at sub-inhibitory concentrations, sulfamethoxazole exerts continuous selective pressure on environmental microbial communities, leading to the generation, accumulation, and spread of drug-resistant bacteria and resistance genes (ARGs). Upon entering receiving water bodies, it causes acute / chronic toxicity to algae and zooplankton, triggering ecological changes. Furthermore, sulfamethoxazole inhibits nitrification / denitrification and some anaerobic methanogenic microorganisms, reducing nitrogen removal and gas production efficiency in conventional processes, and altering sludge floc / EPS characteristics, inducing deterioration of sludge-water separation. Directly using membrane methods such as NF / RO to intercept sulfamethoxazole will create challenges in the reprocessing of highly concentrated solutions, and the interaction between sulfamethoxazole and soluble organic matter / colloids may exacerbate membrane fouling, increasing energy consumption and cleaning frequency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a process that can continuously and stably remove sulfamethoxazole under near-neutral and low-drug-consumption conditions.
[0003] Traditional coagulation / adsorption methods mostly involve "transfer rather than elimination," which can easily lead to secondary pollution. While advanced oxidation can cleave sulfamethoxazole, it has high energy and drug consumption and complex byproduct management. Microbial degradation methods also suffer from poor stability of single bacterial species under antibiotic inhibition. Therefore, developing a process that can efficiently degrade and treat sulfamethoxazole is of great significance for the treatment of antibiotic wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a process for the combined treatment of antibiotic wastewater by a composite microorganism-MBR membrane. The process utilizes domesticated marine afifefic bacteria and Rhodopseudomonas fecalis in combination with the MBR membrane treatment process, so that the synergistic metabolism of the two microorganisms can continue to play a role, thereby achieving efficient removal of sulfamethoxazole and COD from wastewater under low drug consumption and near-neutral conditions.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] The first aspect of this invention provides a process for the combined treatment of antibiotic wastewater using a composite microbial-MBR membrane, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: The wastewater is fed into the reactor, and the initial COD concentration is controlled at 1500-2500 mg / L. When the COD removal rate is stable and ≥30%, the COD concentration of the influent is gradually increased to 8000-10000 mg / L. When the COD removal rate is stable and ≥40%, the COD concentration of the influent is gradually decreased to 1500-2000 mg / L. Activated sludge is added for pretreatment. When the COD removal rate is stable and ≥50%, the pretreatment is completed, and the microbial acclimatization stage begins.
[0008] Step 2: Add the activated compound microbial inoculum to the reactor, control the pH of the influent to 6.8-7.5, the COD concentration of the influent to 2000-2500 mg / L, and the hydraulic retention time to 15-20 h. When the COD removal rate is stable and ≥50%, gradually increase the COD concentration of the influent to 5700-6500 mg / L. When the COD removal rate is stable and ≥60%, proceed to the MBR membrane separation stage to obtain the treated wastewater.
[0009] In step one, the composite microbial solution includes marine afifeficial bacteria and fecal red erythromycetes.
[0010] Compared to existing technologies, this invention employs a combined process of "activated sludge pretreatment - composite microbial acclimatization - MBR membrane separation" to treat antibiotic wastewater, exhibiting strong resistance to shock loads and synergistic removal advantages for recalcitrant antibiotic pollutants. Firstly, this invention gradually increases the influent COD from 1500-2000 mg / L to 8000-10000 mg / L, then decreases it back to 1500-2000 mg / L. The dynamic regulation of COD removal rates, progressively advancing to 30%, 40%, and 50% or higher, allows for the segmented acclimatization and toxicity screening of activated sludge. This prioritizes the elimination of antibiotic-sensitive and metabolically weak microbial communities, while enriching antibiotic-resistant and high-organic-load-tolerant functional microbial communities. This effectively buffers the inhibitory effects of antibiotics and their metabolites on the biological system. Furthermore, this invention introduces activated composite microbial solutions into the reactor, including *Aphtheria marinum*, which possesses strong organic matter degradation and biofilm formation capabilities, and *Rhodopseudomonas faecalis*, which exhibits good tolerance and synergistic degradation of multiple antibiotics. Both bacteria secrete extracellular enzymes and polymers to construct a dense and stable biofilm structure. Under neutral conditions, this efficiently removes biodegradable organic matter while simultaneously breaking down sulfamethoxazole molecules through co-metabolism. The amide bond, aromatic ring, and other functional structures enhance the biodegradability of antibiotics and their intermediates, allowing the COD removal rate to be steadily increased from over 50% to 5700-6500 mg / L while maintaining a stable removal level of over 60%. Finally, in conjunction with an MBR membrane separation unit, under operating conditions of high sludge age, high sludge-water separation efficiency, and high biomass concentration, the system fully leverages the deep degradation capabilities of the composite microbial system. Furthermore, the membrane retention effect reduces the risk of residual antibiotics and microbial resistance genes being discharged. The membrane module utilizes mechanical sieving and retention to achieve solid-liquid separation of wastewater and photosynthetic bacteria mixture, thus realizing the synergistic and efficient removal of organic pollutants and antibiotic-resistant pollutants from antibiotic wastewater. The effluent quality is stable, and the system's shock resistance and long-term operational stability are significantly superior to conventional activated sludge processes.

[0026] In summary, this invention provides a method for targeted acclimatization and toxicity screening of activated sludge through COD gradient adjustment and removal rate control, thereby constructing a microbial community resistant to sulfamethoxazole shock. Furthermore, it introduces a composite bacterial solution composed of marine afifivobacterium and Rhodopseudomonas fecalis, achieving synergistic degradation of high COD and sulfamethoxazole under suitable pH conditions, ensuring that the COD removal rate remains stable at a high level even as the concentration increases.
