Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dyeing and printing wastewater treatment and process control technology, and in particular to a two-stage coupled granular sludge system and its method for autotrophic denitrification treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater with a high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Background Technology

[0002] The dyeing and printing wastewater has a high concentration of organic matter, deep color, and many difficult-to-degrade components, among which azo dyes are the main color-producing substances. In the traditional "anaerobic + aerobic" process, the anaerobic stage can break the azo bonds of azo dyes to generate colorless but more toxic aromatic amine intermediates; the aerobic stage is responsible for further mineralizing the aromatic amines. However, this process has the following prominent problems: (1) the anaerobic stage cannot achieve energy recovery; (2) the aerobic stage relies on a large amount of aeration, resulting in high energy consumption and large sludge production; (3) aromatic amines are prone to accumulate when degradation is incomplete in the aerobic stage, and there is still an ecological risk in the effluent; (4) the process has poor resistance to load fluctuations, and changes in HRT and water quality can easily lead to effluent exceeding the standard; (5) the process has limited capacity for total nitrogen removal.

[0003] For dyeing and printing wastewater with a high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, achieving efficient organic matter conversion and methane recovery in the anaerobic stage, and then coupling efficient denitrification and degradation of recalcitrant organic matter in subsequent stages, will greatly improve the resource utilization level and treatment efficiency of the process. Microaerobic granular sludge possesses a dissolved oxygen gradient, which can simultaneously enrich functional microorganisms such as ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, and iron-oxidizing / reducing bacteria, providing possibilities for short-range nitrogen conversion and iron-cycle denitrification. Furthermore, the non-specific ammonia nitrogen oxygenation enzymes of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria can co-degrade aromatic amines, providing a new pathway for the advanced treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater.

[0004] However, how to coordinate the HRT of the anaerobic section with the influent load of the microaerobic section in actual operation, how to prevent the passivation of iron oxides, how to achieve efficient mineralization and degradation of aniline organic matter, and how to quickly restore system stability when the process fluctuates are still key challenges in the engineering of this technology.

[0005] Based on the above background, this invention proposes to dynamically change the penetration depth of dissolved oxygen in microaerobic granular sludge by regulating the concentration of organic matter in the influent of a microaerobic granular sludge reactor, forming a non-fixed microaerobic / anoxic region, reactivating inert crystalline iron oxides, promoting iron redox cycles, and thus completing denitrification and mineralization of recalcitrant organic matter.

Control DO as Add Iron salts are used to maintain the total iron concentration. By utilizing natural or artificial fluctuations in the concentration of organic matter in the influent, the dissolved oxygen penetration depth inside the granular sludge is induced to change periodically, thereby activating the passivated crystalline iron oxides and promoting the iron redox cycle.

The reflux ratio is... .

[0014] When the anaerobic section experiences changes in effluent due to HRT adjustments or sudden changes in influent load... or At that time, the reflux control mechanism will be automatically activated to... The effluent from the microaerobic section is returned to the influent from the anaerobic section to dilute the influent load, stabilize the water quality, and prevent subsequent treatment units from exceeding the standards.
