Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a method and system for treating domestic wastewater based on Anammox bacteria for pre-treatment alkali reduction and short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation. Background Technology
[0002] Existing domestic wastewater treatment systems primarily rely on traditional biological nitrogen removal and chemical or biological phosphorus removal processes to address high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic pollution. However, these methods have revealed drawbacks in practical applications, including high aeration requirements, significant energy consumption, the generation of greenhouse gases (such as N2O), and difficulty in adapting to fluctuations in water quality and quantity.
[0003] Traditional nitrogen removal pathways involve nitrification and denitrification: nitrification oxidizes ammonia nitrogen to nitrate, requiring extensive aeration; denitrification reduces nitrate to nitrogen gas, demanding a sufficient supply of readily biodegradable carbon sources. However, due to the limited carbon sources in domestic wastewater, nitrogen removal efficiency is low, often necessitating the addition of commercial carbon sources such as methanol, increasing operating costs and carbon footprint. Simultaneously, biological phosphorus removal relies on aerobic polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria for phosphorus absorption, and the limited availability of carbon sources also affects its efficiency.
[0004] In recent years, the coupled short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation process has attracted widespread attention as a highly efficient and energy-saving nitrogen removal technology. This pathway oxidizes ammonia nitrogen only to nitrite, which is then directly converted into nitrogen gas by anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Compared with the traditional pathway, it can save approximately 60% of aeration energy consumption and 100% of carbon source consumption. To achieve stable short-cut nitrification, conditions need to be controlled to enrich ammonia oxidizing bacteria and inhibit nitrite oxidizing bacteria. However, due to the difficulty in efficiently and stably inhibiting nitrite oxidizing bacteria, the widespread application of this pathway remains limited.
[0005] Research has found that Commammox bacteria, capable of completing the entire nitrification process—continuously oxidizing ammonia nitrogen to nitrite and then further to nitrate—within the same cell, exhibit complete nitrification capabilities. Traditional methods struggle to precisely control the metabolic processes of Commammox bacteria, preventing them from ceasing the reaction after oxidizing ammonia nitrogen to nitrite. Therefore, overcoming existing technological bottlenecks and achieving targeted regulation of the metabolic pathways of Commammox bacteria is crucial to achieving their short-range nitrification goals.
[0006] Anammox bacteria can consume alkalinity. If placed before ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, they can reduce the alkalinity in wastewater in situ, thereby effectively inhibiting the nitrite oxidation step of Anammox bacteria and promoting short-cut nitrification. Compared to conventional inhibition strategies that rely on free ammonia or free nitrite, this method does not require the addition of additional chemical agents, frequent pH adjustments, and avoids the operational complexity and operating costs caused by residual free ammonia and free nitrite from structure cleaning. Summary of the Invention
[0007] One objective of this invention is to provide a short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation method for treating domestic wastewater based on Anammox bacteria for pre-treatment alkalinity reduction, thereby addressing at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. This invention achieves highly efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal through the synergistic effect of hydrolytic acidifying bacteria, denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating bacteria, denitrifying polysaccharide-accumulating bacteria, Anammox bacteria, and Commammox bacteria. This process requires no external carbon source, no chemical agents to control low alkalinity, saves approximately 60% of aeration energy consumption, and produces effluent with total nitrogen <5 mg / L, COD <40 mg / L, and PO4 <5 mg / L. 3- -P < 0.2 mg / L, with advantages such as energy saving, low carbon, and high efficiency.
[0008] A second objective of this invention is to provide a short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation domestic wastewater treatment system based on Anammox bacteria for pre-treatment alkali reduction.

(b) Anoxic treatment: The effluent from step (a) is subjected to anoxic treatment. At the same time, nitrite is introduced into the aerobic reflux liquid. Anammox bacteria use ammonia nitrogen in domestic sewage and nitrite in reflux liquid as substrates to carry out anaerobic ammonia oxidation denitrification reaction. Denitrifying polyphosphate bacteria remove phosphorus in the water simultaneously. (c) Aerobic treatment: The water obtained in step (b) is subjected to aerobic treatment, in which the remaining ammonia nitrogen is oxidized to nitrite by Commammox bacteria; (d) Secondary anoxic treatment: Part of the water obtained in step (c) is recycled to step (b) to provide nitrite, and the remainder is subjected to secondary anoxic treatment. The residual oxidized nitrogen is denitrified into nitrogen gas by denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria using the intracellular carbon source.
[0010] Furthermore, the hydraulic retention time for anaerobic treatment in step (a) is 1.0-2.0 hours; the temperature for anaerobic treatment is 30-35°C. The sludge age for the anaerobic treatment is 12-18 days.
[0011] Furthermore, in step (b), the hydraulic retention time for a single anoxic treatment is 2.0-4.0 hours; the dissolved oxygen concentration is below 0.5 mg / L; and the temperature for the single anoxic treatment is 30-35°C. The sludge age for the first anoxic treatment is 10-15 days. The alkalinity of the influent is reduced to 30-40 mg CaCO3 / L through the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction in step (b).
[0012] Furthermore, in step (c), the hydraulic retention time for aerobic treatment is 1.5-2.5 hours; the dissolved oxygen concentration is 0.5-1.0 mg / L; and the temperature for aerobic treatment is 30-35℃. The sludge age for aerobic treatment is 10-15 days.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (d), the hydraulic retention time for the secondary anoxic treatment is 1.0-2.0 hours; the dissolved oxygen concentration is below 0.5 mg / L; and the temperature for the secondary anoxic treatment is 30-35℃.
[0014] Furthermore, prior to step (a), a mixed activated sludge containing hydrolytic acidifying bacteria, denitrifying polyphosphate bacteria, denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria, Anammox bacteria, and Commammox bacteria is inoculated and allowed to stand for 24-48 hours to achieve colonization of the microbial community.
[0015] Secondly, the present invention provides a system for treating domestic wastewater based on the aforementioned method of short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation using Anammox bacteria for pre-treatment alkali reduction, comprising: a hydrolysis acidification reaction tank for anaerobic treatment, an anoxic reaction tank for primary anoxic treatment, an aerobic reaction tank for aerobic treatment, and a post-anoxic reaction tank for secondary anoxic treatment, all connected in sequence.
[0016] Furthermore, the anoxic reaction tank and the aerobic reaction tank are equipped with fixed packing material, and the volume ratio of the fixed packing material added is 20%-30% of the effective volume of the reaction tank. The system also includes a first reflux pump, the inlet of which is connected to the aerobic reaction tank and the outlet of which is connected to the anoxic reaction tank, for recirculating 30%-50% of the effluent from the aerobic reaction tank to the anoxic reaction tank.
[0017] Furthermore, the hydrolysis acidification reaction tank is equipped with a first stirrer with a rotation speed of 50-100 rpm; The anoxic reaction tank is equipped with a second stirrer with a rotation speed of 30-80 rpm.
[0018] Furthermore, the system also includes an inlet tank and a sedimentation tank; The inlet tank is connected to the hydrolysis acidification reaction tank, and the post-anoxic reaction tank is connected to the sedimentation tank.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a short-cut nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation method for treating domestic wastewater based on Anammox bacteria for pre-treatment alkali reduction. By constructing a multi-stage biological treatment process of "anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic-secondary anoxic," it utilizes the synergistic functions of hydrolytic acidifying bacteria, denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria, denitrifying polysaccharide-accumulating bacteria, Anammox bacteria, and Commammox bacteria to achieve efficient and simultaneous removal of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus from domestic wastewater. In this invention, wastewater first enters the anaerobic stage, where hydrolytic acidifying bacteria convert macromolecular organic matter into easily degradable carbon sources, and denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria and denitrifying polysaccharide-accumulating bacteria simultaneously absorb and store these as internal carbon sources. Subsequently, it enters the anoxic stage, where Anammox bacteria utilize the returned NO2... - -N and NH4 + -N undergoes anaerobic ammonia oxidation, consuming alkalinity in the process.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] Unless otherwise defined herein, the scientific and technical terms used in conjunction with this invention shall have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The meaning and scope of terms shall be clear; however, in any case of potential ambiguity, the definitions provided herein shall prevail over any dictionary or foreign definitions. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the use of "or" means "and / or". Furthermore, the use of the term "comprising" and other forms is non-limiting.
[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for treating domestic wastewater based on pre-treatment alkali reduction using Anammox bacteria, comprising the following steps: (a) Anaerobic treatment: domestic sewage is anaerobically treated, and the organic suspended solids in it are converted into easily degradable carbon sources by hydrolytic acidifying bacteria. The converted easily degradable carbon sources are absorbed and stored as intracellular carbon sources by denitrifying polyphosphate bacteria and denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria. (b) Primary anoxic treatment: The effluent from step (a) is subjected to anoxic treatment, while the aerobic reflux liquid is introduced into the anoxic treatment unit to provide nitrite. Anammox bacteria use ammonia nitrogen in domestic sewage and nitrite in reflux liquid as substrates to carry out anaerobic ammonia oxidation denitrification reaction, while denitrifying polyphosphate bacteria remove phosphorus from the water simultaneously. (c) Aerobic treatment: The water obtained in step (b) is subjected to aerobic treatment, in which the remaining ammonia nitrogen is oxidized to nitrite by Commammox bacteria; (d) Secondary anoxic treatment: Part of the water obtained in step (c) is recycled to step (b) to provide nitrite, and the remainder is subjected to secondary anoxic treatment. The residual oxidized nitrogen is denitrified into nitrogen gas by denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria using the intracellular carbon source.
[0026] This invention utilizes the highly efficient collaboration of Commammox bacteria (full-process ammonia oxidizers), Anammox bacteria (anaerobic ammonia oxidizers), denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria, denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria, and hydrolytic acidifying bacteria to achieve energy-saving, low-carbon, and green biological wastewater treatment. In the anaerobic stage, hydrolytic acidifying bacteria convert organic suspended solids into easily degradable carbon sources, which are then absorbed and stored as intracellular carbon sources by denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria and denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria. In the anoxic stage, Anammox bacteria utilize nitrite and residual ammonia nitrogen for denitrification while simultaneously reducing the alkalinity of the wastewater, while denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria absorb phosphorus to remove phosphorus from the water. In the aerobic stage, under alkalinity-limited conditions, Commammox bacteria dominate short-cut nitrification, oxidizing ammonia nitrogen to nitrite, and the resulting nitrite is returned to the anoxic stage. In the post-anoxic stage, denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria utilize internal carbon sources to denitrify residual nitrate and nitrite, achieving deep denitrification. In addition, to enhance the retention of slow-growing Anammox and Commammox bacteria, packing materials were added to the anoxic and aerobic sections to promote the formation of biofilms by Anammox and Commammox bacteria.
[0027] Furthermore, Anammox bacteria can consume alkalinity. By pre-positioning Anammox bacteria before Commammox bacteria, the alkalinity in wastewater can be reduced in situ by Anammox bacteria, inhibiting the nitrite oxidation step of Commammox bacteria and thus achieving short-cut nitrification. Compared with commonly used free ammonia and free nitrite, it does not require the addition of additional chemical agents, pH adjustment, or additional cleaning of structures to remove residual free ammonia and free nitrite. Denitrifying polyphosphate bacteria can simultaneously denitrify while removing phosphorus, achieving dual carbon utilization. Compared with aerobic phosphorus removal bacteria, it can save 50% of carbon source requirements and increase nitrogen removal efficiency by 50%. In the anaerobic treatment stage of this invention, hydrolytic acidifying bacteria effectively convert large molecular organic matter in wastewater into easily degradable small molecular organic matter; denitrifying polyphosphate bacteria utilize these small molecular carbon sources for metabolic activities and simultaneously absorb phosphates from the environment, storing them in the cells in the form of polyphosphate, thereby achieving effective enrichment and removal of phosphorus. Furthermore, denitrifying polysaccharide bacteria can utilize intracellular carbon sources to achieve denitrification. They can remove residual nitrite and nitrate from the effluent, theoretically reducing the total nitrogen in the effluent to zero, thus achieving deep denitrification.
[0028] The advantages of the domestic sewage treatment method provided by this invention are as follows: (1) Achieve efficient and stable short-cut nitrification control. By utilizing the characteristic of Anammox bacteria to pre-consume alkalinity, the alkalinity of wastewater is reduced in situ to inhibit the nitrite oxidation step of Commammox bacteria, thus achieving stable short-cut nitrification. Compared with traditional methods that rely on free ammonia and free nitrite for inhibition, no additional chemical agents, pH adjustment, or additional structure cleaning is required. The operation is simple and environmentally friendly.
[0029] (2) Significantly reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions. Through the synergistic effect of short-cut nitrification dominated by Commammox bacteria and anaerobic ammonium oxidation by Anammox bacteria, approximately 60% of aeration energy consumption can be saved compared to traditional denitrification processes, and carbon source addition is completely avoided. At the same time, hydrolytic acidifying bacteria convert inert carbon sources in domestic sewage that are difficult to use directly into directly usable carbon sources, and denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria achieve "one carbon, two uses", which significantly reduces the carbon footprint while reducing operating costs and exploring usable carbon sources in sewage.
[0030] (3) Simultaneous and efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal with increased treatment load. Through the zonal cooperation of four functional bacteria and the enhancement of the packing biofilm, carbon source conversion, nitrogen removal and phosphorus removal are achieved simultaneously in the anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic-post-anoxic zone. Hydrolytic acidifying bacteria solve the problem of insufficient carbon source utilization, Anammox bacteria and denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria respectively achieve efficient nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the anoxic zone, and Commammox bacteria stably provide nitrite in the aerobic zone. The overall system has a high treatment load and excellent effluent quality.
[0031] (4) Deep denitrification is achieved. The internal carbon source denitrification is achieved by using polysaccharide bacteria, which further removes the remaining nitrates and nitrites in the aerobic effluent, so that the total nitrogen in the effluent can theoretically be reduced to 0.

The second stirrer 31 is turned on at a speed of 50 rpm, the DO is less than 0.5 mg / L, and the MLSS is in the range of 3500~4500 mg / L. Combined with the contribution of the biofilm in the packing material (thickness 200-400 μm), the total concentration is not less than 4000 mg / L.
[0066] (3-2) Anammox bacteria utilize NO2 returned from aerobic reactor 4 - -N and remaining NH4 +-N undergoes anaerobic ammonia oxidation for nitrogen removal, reducing the influent alkalinity to 30-40 mg CaCO3 / L; in addition, denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria absorb PO4. 3- -P achieves phosphorus removal, and the sludge age SRT is controlled at 10 days.

[0071] Example 2 This embodiment provides a method for treating domestic sewage, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that: In the anaerobic reaction section, the HRT is 1 hour; During the hypoxic reaction phase, the HRT is 4 hours; In the aerobic treatment section, the HRT is 1.5 hours; The post-anoxic treatment section has an HRT of 2 hours.
[0072] Example 3 This embodiment provides a method for treating domestic sewage, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that: In the anaerobic reaction section, the HRT is 2 hours; During the hypoxic reaction phase, the HRT is 2 hours; In the aerobic treatment section, the HRT is 2.5 hours; The post-anoxic treatment section has a HRT of 1 hour.
[0073] Example 4 This embodiment provides a method for treating domestic sewage, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that no fixed packing material is installed in the anoxic reaction tank 3 and the aerobic reaction tank 4.
[0074] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides a method for treating domestic sewage, which differs from Example 1 in that it does not include a post-anoxic treatment stage.
[0075] Comparative Example 2 A comparative example provides a method for treating domestic sewage, which differs from Example 1 in that: no effective hydrolysis and acidification treatment is performed in the anaerobic reaction stage, i.e., no hydrolysis and acidification bacteria are added.
[0076] Comparative Example 3 The comparative example provides a method for treating domestic sewage, which differs from Example 1 in that Anammox bacteria are not added, i.e., the Anammox pre-alkali consumption mechanism is missing in the anoxic reaction stage.
[0077] Test case Test method: After each reaction cycle, the mixed sludge from each reaction tank was collected, filtered, and the supernatant was used to detect total nitrogen (HJ 636-2012 alkaline potassium persulfate digestion ultraviolet spectrophotometry), COD (HJ 828-2017 potassium dichromate method) and total phosphorus (GB 11893-89 ammonium molybdate spectrophotometry).
[0078] The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0079] Table 2
[0080] As shown in Table 2, after treating domestic sewage using the method and system of this invention, the effluent total nitrogen is <5 mg / L, COD is <40 mg / L, and PO4 is <5 mg / L. 3- -P < 0.2 mg / L. Specifically, Example 1 showed that total nitrogen (2.3 mg / L), COD (25 mg / L), and PO4 were... 3--P (0.01 mg / L) showed the best performance across all three indicators, reflecting the close connection and stable operation of the anaerobic hydrolysis, Anammox pre-treatment for alkalinity reduction, Commammox short-cut nitrification, and internal carbon source denitrification processes. Although Examples 2 and 3 adjusted the hydraulic retention times of each stage to the extremes of the range listed in this invention, the total nitrogen in the effluent remained at 3.1-3.2 mg / L, and COD and phosphorus were also at good levels, indicating that this parameter range is practically feasible. In Example 4, after removing the packing material, the total nitrogen rose to 4.3 mg / L, and COD and phosphorus increased simultaneously, indicating that the packing material has a substantial effect on the retention of Anammox and Commammox bacteria, and its absence directly affected the alkalinity control effect and the continuity of subsequent reactions. The comparative examples, from different perspectives, confirmed the functional necessity of each component in the process: the lack of a post-anoxic stage led to an increase in total nitrogen; the absence of hydrolysis acidification resulted in poorer COD and phosphorus removal; and without the introduction of Anammox bacteria, the total nitrogen rose to 12.3 mg / L. The mg / L concentration fully demonstrates its fundamental role in reducing influent alkalinity and ensuring stable operation of subsequent short-cut nitrification.
