Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater biological denitrification technology, specifically relating to a device and method for achieving high-temperature wastewater anaerobic ammonia oxidation denitrification based on an upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion of industrial production and the accelerating pace of urbanization, large quantities of wastewater with significantly high temperatures are being discharged from industrial settings such as food processing, geothermal power generation systems, and high-temperature sludge digestion facilities. This type of high-temperature wastewater typically exceeds 40°C and contains high levels of NH4+. + -N pollutant concentrations are extremely high, generally ranging from 200 to 1000 mg NL. -1 If discharged directly into natural water bodies without proper treatment, it will not only cause excessive accumulation of nutrients in the water, leading to a series of ecological problems such as algal blooms and eutrophication, but will also seriously damage the stability and biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have discovered and confirmed the existence of multiple microbial nitrogen transformation pathways, including anaerobic ammonium oxidation, nitrification, and denitrification, in various high-temperature natural ecological environments—such as geothermal hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vent areas with temperatures ranging from 50 to 90 °C. These findings indicate that high-temperature biological nitrogen removal technology, with anaerobic ammonium oxidation as its core mechanism, has the potential for practical application in treating high-temperature industrial wastewater. However, many challenges remain in truly promoting such processes to engineering applications: high temperatures significantly inhibit microbial metabolic activity, affecting microbial domestication and functional expression; simultaneously, the stability of process operation is difficult to maintain under high-temperature conditions, and the system's ability to withstand load fluctuations decreases; furthermore, high temperatures limit the selection of reactor materials—common metals are easily corroded more quickly, often necessitating the use of expensive materials such as titanium alloys or special ceramic coatings, increasing construction costs by 2 to 3 times. High temperatures also reduce dissolved oxygen concentration in water, requiring aerobic processes to increase aeration rates, leading to increased energy consumption and decreased mass transfer efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a series of cutting-edge technologies for the efficient denitrification treatment of high-temperature wastewater, including screening and cultivating heat-resistant functional microorganisms, optimizing high-temperature adaptability process design, promoting the coupling and integration of multiple processes, and exploring ways to recover waste heat and utilize resources, so as to achieve simultaneous improvement in treatment efficiency and economic benefits.

Compared with the traditional nitrification-denitrification process, energy consumption can be reduced by 3.0~5.0 kWh / kg-N, and carbon source cost is reduced by 100%.

[0037] In summary, this invention successfully domesticated thermophilic anaerobic ammonia oxidation sludge, achieving a stable denitrification process under high-temperature conditions, filling the resource gap in thermophilic anaerobic ammonia oxidation functional microorganisms. The constructed high-temperature denitrification device and process eliminate the need for cooling of high-temperature wastewater and the addition of additional carbon sources, achieving cost reduction, energy saving, and carbon reduction in high-temperature wastewater treatment from a technical perspective. It solves the problems of high energy consumption, high cost, and high risk of secondary pollution associated with traditional processes. This provides a novel technical approach for high-temperature wastewater treatment in fields such as food processing, geothermal power generation, and sludge digestion. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Example 2

[0048] An anaerobic ammonia oxidation denitrification system for high-temperature wastewater at 45°C was constructed based on the apparatus of Example 1.

[0049] (a) Preparation of inoculum sludge. Sediment samples were collected from a wild hot spring (29°N; 100°E) in Gaocheng City, Sichuan Province, China, as inoculum for sludge inoculation at 45°C. The natural temperature of the hot spring is maintained at around 47°C year-round. The distance between the surface layer of the collected sediment and the surface water surface was approximately 40 cm. The collected samples were sediments less than 10 cm thick from the surface.

To achieve stable operation of anaerobic ammonia oxidation denitrification in 45 ℃ high-temperature wastewater, 500 mL of filtered hot spring sediment and 2500 mL of synthetic culture medium were added to the UASB reactor.

As the microorganisms gradually adapted to the high influent concentration and high HRT, the HRT was gradually shortened during subsequent long-term operation to provide sufficient substrate for the microorganisms in the culture reactor. From day 474, the HRT was shortened to 5.9 days, and finally from day 494, NH4+ was reduced. + -N and NO2 - The metabolic rate of -N reached 158.0 mg NH4. + -NL -1 ·d -1 and 202.0 mg NO2 - -NL -1 ·d -1 The molar ratio of substrate consumed (NO2) - -N / NH4 + The nitrogen content (N) was maintained at 1.28, reaching a stable state, and the stable operation of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation denitrification process in wastewater under high temperature conditions of 45 ℃ was successfully achieved.
