Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater degradation technology. Specifically, it relates to a system apparatus and method for the degradation of antibiotic wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Antibiotics are commonly used to treat infectious diseases in humans and animals. However, their widespread use has also led to wastewater pollution problems. Numerous studies have shown that antibiotic-contaminated wastewater can cause antibiotic resistance in the human gut microbiota, resulting in weakened immunity, severe allergic reactions, and chronic toxicity in people who drink antibiotic-contaminated water over a long period. It can also have toxic effects on certain aquatic organisms. Therefore, wastewater containing antibiotics must undergo more stringent treatment procedures before being discharged into the environment.

[0003] Advanced oxidation technologies (AOCs) possess strong degradation capabilities for pollutants and have been widely used in wastewater treatment. AOCs include Fenton oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation, ozone oxidation, and electrochemical oxidation. Among these, ozone AOC offers advantages such as strong oxidation capacity, no secondary pollution, and environmental friendliness, meeting the technical needs of large-scale wastewater treatment. In ozone AOC, ozone and its generated active components (such as hydroxyl radicals) can efficiently degrade antibiotic wastewater. Currently, there is an urgent need for a technical solution capable of continuously and efficiently treating large quantities of antibiotic wastewater using ozone. Chinese patent application CN202110752496.8 discloses a submerged rotating packed bed reactor, in which the rotor packing is submerged in the reactants. The sufficient shearing action provided by the reactor improves mass transfer and reaction rates, making the equipment suitable for heterogeneous systems such as gas-liquid and liquid-liquid. This invention utilizes this equipment to develop a system and method for antibiotic wastewater degradation, aiming to meet the requirements for continuous degradation of antibiotic wastewater. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first technical problem this application aims to solve is to provide a system device for the degradation of antibiotic wastewater. This system device utilizes a two-stage submerged rotating packed bed, achieving large-scale, continuous treatment of antibiotic wastewater while ensuring degradation efficiency. In the submerged rotating packed bed used for antibiotic wastewater degradation, the rotor is submerged in a continuous liquid phase, creating a submerged environment. The gas phase enters the reactor from the center of the packing through a gas distribution pipe, where it undergoes intense shearing and breaking within the packing, effectively reducing bubble diameter and increasing bubble velocity. After leaving the packing, the gas and liquid circulate together within the reactor, passing through a guide tube above the rotor and being drawn back into the rotor center, repeating the shearing and breaking process. This enhances the renewal of the gas-liquid surface, providing a feasible new option for the efficient and deep removal of chloramphenicol from wastewater.
