Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment, specifically to a low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent, its preparation method, and its application. The low-temperature wastewater referred to in this invention refers to wastewater with a treatment temperature of 4-25°C, including urban domestic sewage, livestock and poultry breeding wastewater, and lightly polluted industrial wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and increasingly stringent environmental standards in my country, the demand for wastewater treatment continues to grow. In cold northern regions and high-altitude areas, the efficiency of biological wastewater treatment is significantly reduced under low-temperature conditions (≤15℃), becoming a technical bottleneck restricting stable compliance with discharge standards. Existing biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal technologies mainly rely on mesophilic microorganisms, whose enzyme activity decreases and metabolic rate slows down under low-temperature environments, resulting in a significant reduction in the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and COD, failing to meet the requirements for winter operation.

[0003] To address this challenge, developing low-temperature resistant microbial agents has become an important direction. However, current related products still have significant shortcomings: single strains have limited functionality, making it difficult to simultaneously and efficiently achieve nitrogen removal, phosphorus removal, and COD degradation; antagonistic effects easily occur when using multi-genera strains in combination, and most agents have a narrow low-temperature adaptability range (usually not lower than 6℃), weak adaptability to fluctuations in wastewater pH and salinity, and poor stability in practical applications. In addition, the complex production processes and high costs of some agents also limit their large-scale application. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a compound microbial agent that exhibits high activity at low temperatures, synergistic functions, strong adaptability, and reasonable cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the complex technical problems existing in the current low temperature (especially 4-15℃) wastewater treatment technology: how to obtain a microbial agent that can efficiently, synergistically and stably remove multiple pollutants such as ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus and COD at extreme low temperatures, and has no antagonism between strains, wide environmental adaptability and easy industrial production.

[0005] The first inventive point of this invention is a low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent, comprising an effective amount of Bacillus belye ( Bacillus velezensis Ingredients: Bacterial agent, glycerin, xanthan gum, betaine, humic acid.

[0006] Further, the treatment agent, by weight, comprises 20-30 parts of an effective amount of Bacillus belyssus (B. belyssus). Bacillus velezensis Ingredients: 5-8 parts glycerin, 0.5-1 part xanthan gum, 1-2 parts betaine, 0.3-0.5 parts humic acid.

[0007] Furthermore, the effective viable count of the *Bacillus vesiculosus* agent is ≥5 × 10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / mL.

[0008] Furthermore, the Bacillus berberis agent is produced by strain Bacillus berberis LTS-AF1 ( Bacillus from Velez LTS-AF1) fermentation broth, Bacillus belye LTS-AF2 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF2) fermentation broth, Bacillus belye LTS-AF3 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF3) fermentation broth, Bacillus vesiculosus LTS-AF4 ( Bacillus velezensis It is a mixture of LTS-AF4 fermentation broth; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF1 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF1), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025378; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF2 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF2), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025379; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF3 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF3), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025380; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF4 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF4), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025381; All of the above-mentioned Bacillus belyes are deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection, located at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, on March 5, 2025.

[0009] Furthermore, the viable cell ratio of the Bacillus belyssus LTS-AF1 fermentation broth, LTS-AF2 fermentation broth, LTS-AF3 fermentation broth, and LTS-AF4 fermentation broth is (1~3):(2~4):(2~4):(1~3).

[0010] Further, the treatment agent is in the form of a solid powder or a liquid formulation; the solid powder is composed of a liquid formulation and a carrier, wherein the mass ratio of the liquid formulation to the carrier is 1:(2-4); the carrier includes diatomaceous earth and / or corn cob powder; the number of viable bacteria in the solid powder is ≥5×10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / g, effective viable bacteria count in liquid formulation ≥1×10 10 CFU / mL.

[0011] The second inventive point of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the aforementioned low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent, comprising the following steps: S1: Strain screening: The Bacillus beleibacillus LTS-AF1, LTS-AF2, LTS-AF3 and LTS-AF4 were isolated and screened from activated sludge in a low-temperature environment; S2: Low temperature acclimatization: The strains obtained in step S1 were subjected to low temperature gradient acclimatization, with the acclimatization temperature gradient from 15℃→10℃→6℃→4℃, and each temperature gradient was cultured for 3 days. S3: Expansion culture: Each strain after domestication in step S2 is subjected to expansion culture to obtain a high-concentration fermentation broth; S4: Compound formulation: The fermentation broths of each strain obtained in step S3 are mixed according to the ratio of live bacteria, and glycerol, xanthan gum, betaine and humic acid are added according to the mass ratio. After stirring evenly, the mixture is concentrated under low temperature vacuum to obtain the liquid preparation of the low temperature resistant sewage treatment agent.

[0012] In step S2, the culture medium used for low-temperature acclimatization is an acclimatization culture medium that simulates the components of low-temperature wastewater; the culture medium is based on ammonia nitrogen 100 mg / L, nitrate nitrogen 80 mg / L, nitrite nitrogen 20 mg / L, total phosphorus 5 mg / L, and COD 300 mg / L.

[0013] In step S3, the culture medium used for the expanded culture contains 8-12 g / L corn flour, 6-10 g / L soybean meal, 0.3-0.7 g / L KH2PO4, and 0.1-0.3 g / L MgSO4·7H2O. The culture conditions are: temperature 28-37℃, aeration rate 1.0-1.2 vvm, stirring speed 160-200 rpm, and culture time 24-48 hours.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes step S5: continuing to add a carrier in step S4 to obtain the low-temperature wastewater treatment agent solid powder.

[0015] The third inventive point of this invention is the application of the aforementioned low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent in wastewater treatment.

[0016] Furthermore, it includes urban domestic sewage, livestock and poultry breeding wastewater, and lightly polluted industrial wastewater; the low temperature is 4℃~25℃; the initial concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the low-temperature wastewater is 50~150 mg / L, nitrate nitrogen is 30~100 mg / L, nitrite nitrogen is 10~30 mg / L, total phosphorus is 3~10 mg / L, and COD is 200~500 mg / L; the pH value of the low-temperature wastewater is 5.5~9.5.

[0017] Furthermore, the application includes the simultaneous removal of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, total phosphorus and COD from wastewater.

[0018] Furthermore, when the treatment agent is added in liquid form, the dosage is 0.1% to 0.3% of the wastewater volume; when added in solid form, the dosage is 1 to 3 g / m³ of wastewater.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: The strains of this invention, after gradient low-temperature acclimatization, can function stably at temperatures ranging from 4 to 25°C, maintaining high activity even at extreme low temperatures (4°C), overcoming the technical bottleneck of existing bacterial agents where efficiency drops sharply below 6°C. This invention avoids the antagonistic effects of multi-generic strain combinations through the specific compounding of four homologous Bacillus beryllus strains, and innovatively combines them with a composite excipient system of "glycerol + xanthan gum + betaine + humic acid." Through multiple synergistic mechanisms, it not only extends the storage period at 4°C to 12 months (with viable cell attenuation ≤20%), but also improves the bacterial agent's tolerance to salinity and heavy metal stress. Furthermore, this invention utilizes inexpensive industrial culture media for expansion, resulting in a simple preparation process, low dosage, and easy large-scale application in existing wastewater treatment processes, reducing overall operating costs. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, a more detailed description is provided below. However, it should be understood that the description herein is merely for explaining this application and is not intended to limit its scope.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. All reagents and instruments used herein are commercially available, and the characterization methods involved can be found in relevant descriptions in the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0022] To further understand this application, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the preferred embodiments.

[0023] Example 1: Composition, formulation, and formulation design of a low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent. This embodiment provides a low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent, comprising an effective amount of Bacillus berberis (B. berberis). Bacillus from Velez Ingredients: Bacterial agent, glycerin, xanthan gum, betaine, humic acid.

[0024] As a further preferred embodiment, the treatment agent comprises 20-30 parts by weight of an effective amount of Bacillus belyssus (B. belyssus). Bacillus velezensis Ingredients: 5-8 parts glycerin, 0.5-1 part xanthan gum, 1-2 parts betaine, 0.3-0.5 parts humic acid.

[0025] Preferably, the number of viable bacteria in the Bacillus berberis agent is ≥5×10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / mL.

[0026] In the low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent provided in this embodiment, Bacillus vesiculosus, as an active substance, provides pollutant degradation function. It works synergistically with glycerol, xanthan gum, betaine, and humic acid to play the roles of low-temperature protection, physical dispersion and stabilization, nutrient supplementation and pollutant adsorption, and together ensure the survival rate and functional activity of the agent under low-temperature stress.

[0027] Adding glycerin as a cryoprotectant and xanthan gum as a dispersant improves the low-temperature storage stability of the bacterial agent (≤15% decrease in viable cell count after 6 months of storage at 4℃). Betaine (as an osmotic pressure protectant) and glycerol (as a cryoprotectant) work synergistically to protect the strain through a dual mechanism of regulating osmotic pressure and stabilizing enzyme structure, preventing cell membrane rupture at low temperatures. At the same time, the functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, etc.) on humic acid can adsorb some of the recalcitrant COD and heavy metals (such as trace amounts of lead and cadmium), reducing the inhibitory effect of pollutants on the strain. In addition, the small molecule organic acids produced by the degradation of humic acid can provide a fast carbon source for Bacillus belyssus, making up for the lack of carbon source at low temperatures.

[0028] As a further preferred embodiment, the Bacillus berberis inoculant is derived from the strain Bacillus berberis LTS-AF1 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF1) fermentation broth, Bacillus belye LTS-AF2 ( Bacillus from Velez LTS-AF2) fermentation broth, Bacillus belye LTS-AF3 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF3) fermentation broth, Bacillus vesiculosus LTS-AF4 ( Bacillus velezensis It is a mixture of LTS-AF4 fermentation broth; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF1 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF1), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025378; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF2 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF2), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025379; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF3 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF3), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025380; The Bacillus berberis LTS-AF4 ( Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF4), its accession number is CCTCC NO: M 2025381; All of the above-mentioned Bacillus belyes are deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection, located at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, on March 5, 2025. The four strains of Bacillus belye in this invention have a division of labor and synergy: LTS-AF1 and LTS-AF2 are in charge of ammonia nitrogen transformation and secrete low-temperature adapted ammonia monooxygenase (AMO); LTS-AF3 is in charge of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen reduction and produces denitrifying enzyme system; LTS-AF4 is in charge of phosphorus absorption and COD degradation and secretes phosphatases and extracellular polymers; the strains form a synergistic system of "denitrification-phosphorus removal-COD degradation-low-temperature adaptation".

[0029] Preferably, the viable cell count ratio of the Bacillus belyssus LTS-AF1 fermentation broth, LTS-AF2 fermentation broth, LTS-AF3 fermentation broth, and LTS-AF4 fermentation broth is (1~3):(2~4):(2~4):(1~3).

[0030] Preferably, the dosage form of the treatment agent is a solid powder or a liquid preparation; the solid powder is composed of a liquid preparation and a carrier, wherein the mass ratio of the liquid preparation to the carrier is 1:(2-4); the carrier includes diatomaceous earth and / or corn cob powder.

[0031] Preferably, the number of viable bacteria in the liquid bacterial agent is ≥1×10⁻⁶. 10 CFU / mL, effective viable bacteria count in solid powder ≥5×10 9 CFU / g.

[0032] Liquid formulations are suitable for immediate addition; solid powders use porous carriers (diatomaceous earth, corn cob powder) to adsorb bacteria and excipients, making them easy to store and transport, and providing an initial attachment point after addition to water, allowing for the slow release of bacteria.

[0033] Example 2 Preparation of Low-Temperature Resistant Wastewater Treatment Agent (Strain Screening - Acclimation - Propagation - Compound Formulation) This embodiment provides a method for preparing the low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent described in Embodiment 1, comprising the following steps: S1: Strain screening: The Bacillus beleibacillus LTS-AF1, LTS-AF2, LTS-AF3 and LTS-AF4 were isolated and screened from activated sludge in a low-temperature environment; S2: Low temperature acclimatization: The strains obtained in step S1 were subjected to low temperature gradient acclimatization, with the acclimatization temperature gradient from 15℃→10℃→6℃→4℃, and each temperature gradient was cultured for 3 days. S3: Expansion culture: Each strain after domestication in step S2 is subjected to expansion culture to obtain a high-concentration fermentation broth; S4: Compound formulation: The fermentation broths of each strain obtained in step S3 are mixed according to the ratio of live bacteria, and glycerol, xanthan gum, betaine and humic acid are added according to the mass ratio. After stirring evenly, the mixture is concentrated under low temperature vacuum to obtain the liquid preparation of the low temperature resistant sewage treatment agent.

[0034] As a further preferred embodiment, step S5 is also included: continuing to add a carrier in step S4 to obtain the low-temperature wastewater treatment agent solid powder.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, in step S2, the culture medium used for low-temperature acclimatization is an acclimatization culture medium that simulates the components of low-temperature wastewater; the culture medium is based on ammonia nitrogen 100 mg / L, nitrate nitrogen 80 mg / L, nitrite nitrogen 20 mg / L, total phosphorus 5 mg / L, and COD 300 mg / L.

[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, in step S3, the culture medium used for the expanded culture includes 8-12 g / L corn flour, 6-10 g / L soybean meal, 0.3-0.7 g / L KH2PO4, and 0.1-0.3 g / L MgSO4·7H2O. The culture conditions are: temperature 28-37℃, aeration rate 1.0-1.2 vvm, stirring speed 160-200 rpm, and culture time 24-48 hours.

[0037] Specifically, Source of strains: Four strains of Bacillus belye were isolated and screened from activated sludge of a wastewater treatment plant in northern my country during winter, and were named as follows: Bacillus velezensis LTS-AF1, LTS-AF2, LTS-AF3, LTS-AF4.

[0038] S1: Filtering method: S1-1: Strain activation: Culture medium: Beef extract peptone basal medium (beef extract 5g / L, peptone 10g / L, NaCl 5g / L, pH 7.0~7.5); Conditions: 30℃, 150rpm shaking culture for 24h, OD of activated strain 600 The value reaches 1.2~1.5; S1-2: Enrichment culture: Enrichment culture was carried out for 7 days at 4°C and 120 rpm with a low-temperature wastewater simulated medium; S2: Low temperature acclimatization: The activated strains were inoculated into a low temperature acclimatization medium (simulating the composition of low temperature wastewater, with a temperature gradient from 15℃→10℃→6℃→4℃, and each gradient cultured for 3 days), with an acclimatization period of 12 days, to enhance the low temperature adaptability of the strains. S2-1: Isolation and purification: Using the gradient dilution plating method, single colonies were picked from the low-temperature screening medium (temperature 4℃) and purified by streak plating three times to obtain pure strains; S2-2: Functional screening: The denitrification (ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen), phosphorus removal and COD degradation efficiency of each strain at 4℃, 10℃ and 15℃ were determined to screen out strains with functional advantages. S2-3: Strain identification: Identification was performed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. After sequence alignment, the 16S rRNA gene sequences of LTS-AF1, LTS-AF2, LTS-AF3, and LTS-AF4 showed ≥99.8% homology with the Bacillus belysii model strain. The strain classification was confirmed by combining physiological and biochemical characteristics.

[0039] S3: Expansion culture: Industrial-grade fermenters were used, with corn flour 10g / L, soybean meal powder 8g / L, KH2PO4 0.5g / L, and MgSO4. Using 0.2 g / L 7H2O as the expansion medium, the culture was carried out at 30℃, with an aeration rate of 1.0 vvm and a stirring speed of 200 rpm for 48 h to obtain a high concentration of Bacillus belyssus fermentation broth. S4: Compound formulation: Mix the fermentation broth of each strain according to the above ratio, and add glycerol, xanthan gum, betaine and humic acid according to the mass ratio. After stirring evenly, concentrate under low temperature vacuum (below 40℃) to prepare a low temperature resistant sewage treatment agent liquid preparation. S5: Continue to add carrier (diatomaceous earth, corn cob powder), the mass ratio of the liquid preparation to the carrier is 1:(2-4), to make a low-temperature resistant sewage treatment agent solid powder.

[0040] The domesticated strains can synthesize low-temperature induced proteins, reduce the cell membrane phase transition temperature, and increase the specific activity of enzymes at low temperatures, ensuring that they can still maintain efficient metabolism at 4°C. The pollutant transformation pathway is as follows: ammonia nitrogen undergoes nitrification (first converting to nitrite nitrogen, then to nitrate nitrogen), and then nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen undergo denitrification to be converted into N2 and released; phosphorus is absorbed by the strain and converted into intracellular polyphosphate for storage; COD is metabolized by the strain as a carbon source and energy source and decomposed into CO2 and H2O.

[0041] Example 3: Application scenarios, conditions, and core performance advantages of low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agents This embodiment provides an application of the low-temperature resistant wastewater treatment agent described in Embodiment 1 in wastewater treatment.

[0042] As a further preferred embodiment, the wastewater is low-temperature wastewater, and the low temperature is 4℃~25℃.

[0044] As a further preferred embodiment, the application includes the simultaneous removal of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, total phosphorus and COD from wastewater.

[0045] As a further preferred embodiment, when the treatment agent is added in liquid form, the dosage is 0.1% to 0.3% of the wastewater volume; when added in solid form, the dosage is 1 to 3 g / m³ of wastewater.

[0046] Treatment conditions: Wastewater pH 5.5~9.5, salinity (NaCl) 0.1~35g / L, dissolved oxygen concentration ≥2mg / L, bacterial agent retention time ≥1d (at temperatures above 10℃, 1d retention time is sufficient to achieve ideal results; at 4℃, 1.5~2d retention time is recommended). Process compatibility: Can be directly added to existing wastewater treatment plant A 2 For aeration tanks using processes such as O and MBR, no modification to existing equipment is required. The dosing method can be continuous or intermittent (replenished every 24 hours, with the replenishment amount being 50% of the initial dosing amount).

[0047] This invention can achieve the following: Low-temperature treatment efficiency: At 4℃, after a 1.5-day retention period, the removal rates of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, total phosphorus, and COD are ≥75%, ≥68%, ≥70%, ≥65%, and ≥80%, respectively. At 10℃, after a 1-day retention period, the removal rates of all indicators are ≥85%, which is superior to existing similar microbial agents (the average removal rate is increased by 15%~20% at low temperatures).

[0048] Wide adaptability range: Within the pH range of 5.5~9.5 and salinity range of 0.1~35g / L, the treatment efficiency fluctuates by ≤10%, making it suitable for different regions and types of wastewater in northern China.

[0049] Storage stability: After 6 months of storage at 4℃, the number of viable bacteria decreased by ≤15%; after 3 months of storage at room temperature (25℃), the number of viable bacteria decreased by ≤20%, which is better than the storage performance of existing microbial agents.

[0050] Environmental safety: Bacillus belesii is a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) strain, which is non-pathogenic, its metabolites do not cause secondary pollution, and the addition of compound bacterial agents will not cause sludge bulking.

[0051] Industrialization and application advantages: The raw materials for the basic culture medium are inexpensive and readily available, and the expansion process does not require special equipment. The production cost is reduced by 30% to 40% compared with existing bacterial agents. The dosage is only 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of some existing bacterial agents, and the retention time is shortened to 1 day, which greatly reduces the application cost of large-scale sewage treatment plants and is suitable for large-scale promotion.

This indicates that the specific ratio of viable bacteria in the compound system can achieve synergistic effect of bacterial strains and improve the effect of low-temperature wastewater treatment.
