Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater biological treatment technology, specifically relating to a wastewater treatment system and method based on sulfur recovery and synergistic denitrification. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial wastewater from industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and printing and dyeing typically contains high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), and sulfate (SO4). 2- Wastewater containing pollutants such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, if discharged directly without proper treatment, will cause serious harm to the aquatic environment. How to achieve the synergistic removal of multiple pollutants such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur economically and efficiently, while simultaneously realizing the effective recovery of sulfur resources, has always been a technical challenge in the field of industrial wastewater treatment.
[0003] Traditional treatment processes often combine physicochemical and biological methods. For sulfates, chemical precipitation (e.g., adding lime to generate calcium sulfate) or membrane separation are commonly used for removal. However, these physicochemical methods suffer from high reagent dosages, high operating costs, and secondary pollution problems such as the generation of large amounts of saline chemical sludge. For COD and total nitrogen removal, separate biological units are typically used. If the wastewater's carbon-to-nitrogen ratio is insufficient, external carbon sources such as methanol and sodium acetate must be added. This treatment model results in a lengthy process flow, low total nitrogen removal rate, high power consumption, and significant carbon source waste. When using traditional nitrification-denitrification processes, organic carbon sources in the wastewater that could serve as electron donors are largely consumed in the aerobic stage, while the denitrification stage has to rely on external carbon sources, creating a dual dilemma of resource waste and increased costs. While the A / O process addresses the waste of organic carbon sources to some extent, internal recirculation increases power consumption and limits the total nitrogen removal rate. More importantly, sulfates in the wastewater are almost entirely unutilized in this process, becoming a pollutant requiring additional treatment.
[0004] In recent years, biological treatment technologies based on sulfur autotrophic denitrification have become a research hotspot in the field of simultaneous nitrogen and sulfur removal due to their advantages such as no need for external carbon sources and low sludge production. Existing technologies, such as CN117819712A, disclose a deep nitrogen removal device based on sulfur autotrophic denitrification, which achieves autotrophic denitrification by setting up a layer of elemental sulfur packing; CN111777179B involves a sulfur autotrophic denitrification filter and its application, which maintains stable system operation by retaining elemental sulfur. A common feature of these technologies is that processes such as sulfate reduction, sulfide oxidation, and sulfur autotrophic denitrification are dispersed in different units. Sulfur autotrophic denitrification units typically exist as independent filters and rely on external elemental sulfur (such as sulfur particles) as electron donors. Although these technologies have made breakthroughs in specific aspects, they still have not escaped the limitations of "unit fragmentation and unidirectional material flow"—sulfates in the raw water are not converted into usable resources, sulfur-containing sludge is only treated as waste, and there is a lack of organic synergy between the carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur removal processes.
[0005] It is noteworthy that in processes where sulfides are oxidized to generate elemental sulfur, the elemental sulfur typically adheres to the sludge surface, forming sulfur-containing sludge. Current technologies generally treat this type of sludge as conventional waste sludge, failing to recognize its dual resource attributes: enrichment of both elemental sulfur and adsorption as an internal carbon source. In fact, sulfur-containing sludge can serve as an electron donor for autotrophic denitrification and a supplementary carbon source for heterotrophic denitrification, possessing the potential to become an "endogenous electron donor pool." However, no technical solution has yet been found to integrate this attribute into the system design, achieving in-situ reuse of sulfur resources and cascade utilization of carbon sources.
[0006] In summary, existing industrial wastewater treatment technologies generally suffer from several drawbacks when dealing with complex water quality containing multiple pollutants such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. These include lengthy process flows, fragmented unit functions, significant carbon source waste, high sulfate removal costs, ineffective sulfur resource recovery and utilization, and neglect of the resource value of sulfur-containing sludge. Developing an integrated treatment system and method that breaks down unit boundaries, achieves in-situ sulfate conversion, efficient recovery of elemental sulfur, resource utilization of sulfur-containing sludge, and synergistic removal of carbon and nitrogen pollutants is of great significance for improving industrial wastewater treatment efficiency, reducing operating costs, and realizing resource recovery. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned existing technologies, this invention provides a wastewater treatment system and method based on sulfur recovery and synergistic denitrification. The system comprises an anaerobic reactor, a hypoxic reactor, a primary sedimentation tank, an aerobic-anoxic reactor, and a secondary sedimentation tank, connected in sequence. The method includes: wastewater entering the anaerobic reactor for sulfate reduction; the anaerobic effluent entering the hypoxic reactor to oxidize sulfides into elemental sulfur; and sulfur-containing sludge separated from the primary sedimentation tank being broken down and then entering the anoxic section of the aerobic-anoxic reactor, where elemental sulfur and organic carbon sources in the sludge are used as electron donors for sulfur autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification, respectively, to reduce nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas. This invention achieves targeted conversion and resource recovery of sulfur through the "anaerobic sulfur production - hypoxic sulfur fixation - anoxic sulfur utilization" process, reducing the demand for external carbon sources and offering advantages such as high denitrification efficiency, low sludge production, and low treatment costs.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a wastewater treatment system based on sulfur recovery and synergistic denitrification, comprising an anaerobic reactor, a low-oxygen reactor, a primary sedimentation tank, an aerobic-anoxic reactor, and a secondary sedimentation tank connected in sequence; wherein the anaerobic reactor, the primary sedimentation tank, and the secondary sedimentation tank are all equipped with sludge discharge pipes.
[0009] The anaerobic reactor is enriched with sulfate-reducing bacteria to reduce sulfate ions in the influent to sulfides, controlling the pH value to 6.5-7.5; the exhaust end of the top of the anaerobic reactor is connected to the air inlet end of the bottom of the desulfurization scrubber; the effluent end of the anaerobic reactor is connected to the inlet end of the low-oxygen reactor.
[0010] The desulfurization scrubber is used to collect and treat gases rich in hydrogen sulfide, and uses a mixture from a low-oxygen reactor to wash away the hydrogen sulfide from the gas; the top inlet and bottom outlet of the desulfurization scrubber are respectively connected to the low-oxygen reactor; the treated gas is discharged from the top of the desulfurization scrubber.
[0011] The low-oxygen reactor is enriched with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and the dissolved oxygen concentration is controlled at 0-0.5 mg / L. It is used to oxidize sulfides in the influent into elemental sulfur. The outlet of the low-oxygen reactor is connected to the influent of the primary sedimentation tank.
[0012] The primary sedimentation tank is used to receive the effluent from the low-oxygen reactor and perform mud-water separation; the supernatant outlet of the primary sedimentation tank is connected to the inlet of the aerobic section of the aerobic-anoxic reactor. The aerobic-anoxic reactor includes an aerobic section and an anoxic section connected in series. The aerobic section is equipped with an aeration device to oxidize ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen. The anoxic section is equipped with a mixing and stirring device to reduce nitrate nitrogen into nitrogen gas. The anoxic section is connected to the sludge discharge pipe of the primary reactor and receives sludge containing elemental sulfur. The organic carbon source and elemental sulfur in the sludge are used as electron donors for heterotrophic denitrification and sulfur autotrophic denitrification, respectively, to reduce nitrate nitrogen from the mixed liquor of the aerobic section into nitrogen gas.
[0013] The secondary sedimentation tank has its inlet end connected to the outlet end of the aerobic-anoxic reactor for solid-liquid separation. The supernatant from the secondary sedimentation tank is discharged in compliance with standards, and the bottom sludge is returned to the aerobic section of the aerobic-anoxic reactor.
[0014] The anaerobic reactor, primary sedimentation tank, and secondary sedimentation tank are all equipped with sludge discharge pipes to discharge their respective excess sludge.
[0015] Preferably, the anaerobic reactor is an upflow anaerobic sludge bed or an expanded granular sludge bed, and the sulfate volumetric loading is controlled at 1-3 kg SO4. 2- / m 3 .d.
[0016] Preferably, the low-oxygen reactor is a low-oxygen upflow internal circulation reactor or a completely mixed reactor. When an upflow internal circulation reactor is used, the first-stage precipitator in the system is omitted.
[0017] Preferably, the low-oxygen reactor controls the sulfide volumetric loading at 0.5-1.5 kg S. 2- / m 3 .d.
[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a wastewater treatment method based on sulfur recovery and synergistic denitrification, comprising the following steps: (1) Sulfate reduction stage: Wastewater enters the anaerobic reactor and utilizes sulfate-reducing bacteria cultivated in the anaerobic reactor (by creating suitable conditions, the small amount of sulfate-reducing bacteria that originally existed in the wastewater are screened and enriched into the dominant bacteria group in the anaerobic reactor) to reduce sulfate in the wastewater to sulfide, while degrading part of COD, so as to achieve the synergistic removal of COD and sulfate. After the reaction, anaerobic effluent containing sulfide is obtained. (2) Sulfide oxidation stage: Anaerobic effluent enters the low oxygen reactor and is mixed with activated sludge returned from the primary sedimentation tank. Under micro-oxygen conditions (dissolved oxygen concentration of 0-0.5 mg / L), the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria enriched in the activated sludge oxidize the sulfides in the wastewater into elemental sulfur. (3) Primary mud-water separation stage: The effluent from the low-oxygen reactor enters the primary sedimentation tank, and the sulfur-containing activated sludge that settles is then returned to the low-oxygen reactor to ensure the continuous biochemical reaction. The supernatant after sedimentation enters the aerobic section of the aerobic-anoxic reactor; the sulfur-containing sludge after sedimentation is broken down and then enters the anoxic section of the aerobic-anoxic reactor.
[0019] (4) Aerobic-Anoxic Synergistic Denitrification Stage: The supernatant from the primary sedimentation tank is mixed with the return sludge from the secondary sedimentation tank and enters the aerobic section. Nitrifying bacteria are used to oxidize ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater into nitrate nitrogen under aerobic conditions. Then it enters the anoxic section and is mixed with sulfur-containing sludge from the primary sedimentation tank. The elemental sulfur in the sludge is used as the electron donor for sulfur autotrophic denitrification, and the organic carbon source in the sludge is used as the electron donor for heterotrophic denitrification. Through the synergistic effect of sulfur autotrophic denitrifying bacteria and heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria, the nitrate nitrogen produced in the aerobic section is reduced to nitrogen gas, and pollutants such as COD in the wastewater are degraded simultaneously. (5) Secondary mud-water separation stage: The effluent from the anoxic section enters the secondary sedimentation tank, and the supernatant after sedimentation meets the discharge standards. The sludge is returned to the aerobic section to maintain the sludge age of the system. (6) Residual sludge disposal stage: The residual sludge generated by the anaerobic reactor and the secondary sedimentation tank is dewatered and then transported off-site for disposal; the residual sludge containing elemental sulfur generated by the primary sedimentation tank is dewatered and dried and then recycled to realize the resource-based disposal of pollutants.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Targeted Conversion and Resource Utilization of Sulfur: Through an anaerobic sulfur production-low-oxygen sulfur fixation-oxygen-deficient sulfur utilization chain, sulfides are directionally converted into elemental sulfur, with an elemental sulfur conversion rate of ≥80%. This enables the resource recovery of sulfur and the utilization of SO4. 2- Degradation.
[0021] 2. Cascade utilization of carbon source and sulfur: The sulfur-containing sludge from the primary sedimentation tank is directionally recycled to the anoxic zone. The "internal carbon source" carried by the sludge itself and elemental sulfur drive heterotrophic and autotrophic denitrification respectively, reducing the demand for external carbon source.
[0022] 3. Aerobic-Anoxic Synergistic Denitrification: Ammonia nitrogen in wastewater is first oxidized to nitrate nitrogen in the aerobic zone, and then reduced to nitrogen gas in the anoxic zone. The denitrification process does not require digester reflux, and the nitrate nitrogen is fully reduced, achieving efficient removal of total nitrogen.
[0023] 4. Highly efficient synergistic removal of multiple pollutants: Sulfate reduction, sulfide detoxification, nitrification, and dual-pathway denitrification are simultaneously completed within a single coupled system, removing COD and SO4. 2- The removal rates of NH3-N and total nitrogen can reach over 95%, 90%, 95%, and 90%, respectively.
[0024] 5. Reduce system carbon emissions: The coupled process reduces power consumption by about 20% by eliminating internal recirculation and reducing aeration volume, and reduces sludge volume by 30% by reducing the addition of carbon sources and chemical agents, thus achieving low-carbon operation.
