Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a biological deammoniation treatment process based on iron-carbon coupling. Background Technology
[0002] Eutrophication of surface water and pollution of groundwater caused by large amounts of wastewater with low C / N ratios have seriously affected people's lives. Utilizing denitrifying bacteria for denitrification is one of the main approaches to wastewater treatment. However, the reduction process using denitrifying bacteria requires organic carbon sources in the water as electron donors. But wastewater with low C / N ratios has low organic carbon source content, making it difficult to achieve deep denitrification using traditional biological methods. Existing technologies typically use external carbon sources to address the insufficient carbon source in the wastewater denitrification process. Common carbon sources include sucrose, glucose, acetic acid, ethanol, and methanol. However, external carbon sources are prone to secondary pollution, and the type of carbon source has a significant impact on the denitrification rate, leading to problems such as nitrate nitrogen accumulation and high treatment costs. Furthermore, the addition of carbon sources increases CO2 emissions. Therefore, the application of external carbon source denitrification in deep denitrification of wastewater with low C / N ratios is greatly limited, and it cannot achieve continuous and efficient ammonia nitrogen degradation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To achieve continuous and efficient ammonia nitrogen degradation in wastewater, this application provides a biological ammonia removal process based on iron-carbon coupling.
[0004] This application provides a biological deammoniation treatment process based on iron-carbon coupling, which adopts the following technical solution: A biological deammoniation treatment process based on iron-carbon coupling includes the following steps: Pretreatment: The sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite packing is loaded into the reactor; then, iron-reducing bacteria solution and sulfur autotrophic bacteria solution are circulated to contact the surface of the packing to cultivate and form a composite membrane; the sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite packing includes two conductive mesh layers and an iron powder layer set between the two mesh layers. Wastewater treatment: The pH and temperature of the wastewater are adjusted, and then the wastewater is introduced into the reactor. The hydrogen produced by the iron-carbon reaction is used as a signal source: when the hydrogen concentration is greater than 0.5%, the aeration is automatically turned off and the denitrification mode is entered; when it is less than 0.2%, the aeration is turned on and the nitrification mode is entered. The composite membrane formed in the reactor continuously degrades ammonia nitrogen and completes the ammonia removal treatment.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, a sulfur autotrophic bacteria-iron reducing bacteria composite microbial community is implanted to form a double-layer biofilm on the surface of the packing material. The outer layer of sulfur bacteria uses the sulfate generated by the iron-carbon reaction for autotrophic deammoniation, while the inner layer of iron reducing bacteria regenerates ferrous ions, forming a closed material cycle chain and reducing sludge production. The sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite packing material forms a stable electron transport network, allowing electrons generated by iron corrosion to directly act on the biofilm. Furthermore, the hydrogen gas generated by the iron-carbon reaction is used as a signal source to achieve the switching between denitrification and nitrification, reducing power consumption. Through self-powered electron transport and the symbiotic microbial community system, ammonia nitrogen removal is achieved without the need for an external carbon source, thus achieving continuous and efficient ammonia nitrogen degradation of wastewater.

Then, PVA aqueous solution is added, stirred and mixed evenly, and dried to obtain granules. The granules are added to a mold and pressed at room temperature to obtain a pressed material; then, under nitrogen protection, the material is first degreased at 300-500℃ and then sintered at 600-750℃ to obtain an iron powder layer. By combining the iron powder layer with the conductive mesh layer and hot-pressing, a sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite filler is obtained.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, iron powder, micron-sized copper powder, micron-sized nickel powder, and nano-manganese dioxide are first mixed, then PVA aqueous solution is added, stirred and dried to obtain particulate matter; then it is pressed into shape, degreased, sintered, and finally composited with a conductive mesh layer to obtain a sandwich structure iron-carbon composite filler.
[0011] In one specific feasible implementation, the pretreatment step, the method for cultivating biofilm formation includes the following steps: Pump the iron-reducing bacteria solution into the reactor, turn off aeration and stirring, and let it stand at 30°C for 4-6 hours for adsorption. Mix the iron-reducing bacterial solution and the sulfur-autotrophic bacterial solution, place them in a shaker at 30℃, and culture them at a low speed of 80 rpm for 3-5 days to obtain a composite bacterial solution. Pump the solution into the reactor, turn on the circulation pump, and circulate it at a flow rate of 0.2-0.5 m / h for 12-24 hours. Then stop the circulation and seal the reactor. Start the circulation pump. For days 1-3, control the temperature at 30±2℃, pH at 7.0-7.5, DO < 0.2mg / L, and circulation flow rate at 0.5m / h. For days 4-10, gradually increase the influent ammonia nitrogen from 50mg / L to 200mg / L, and aerate intermittently for 20min every 4h to complete the culture and biofilm formation.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, iron-reducing bacteria solution is first introduced and allowed to stand at 30°C for adsorption. Then, a composite bacterial solution of iron-reducing bacteria solution and sulfur autotrophic bacteria solution is introduced and circulated at a low speed. Finally, the circulation pump is started for gradient acclimatization and operation to complete the culture and biofilm formation.
[0013] In one specific implementation scheme, the weight ratio of iron-reducing bacterial solution to sulfur-autotrophic bacterial solution in the compound bacterial solution is (30-40):(60-70).

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The process described in this application incorporates a sulfur autotrophic bacteria-iron reducing bacteria composite microbial community, forming a double-layer biofilm on the packing surface. The outer layer of sulfur bacteria utilizes sulfate generated from the iron-carbon reaction for autotrophic deammoniation, while the inner layer of iron reducing bacteria regenerates ferrous ions, forming a closed material cycle chain and reducing sludge production. The sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite packing forms a stable electron transport network, allowing electrons generated by iron corrosion to directly act on the biofilm. Furthermore, hydrogen gas generated from the iron-carbon reaction is used as a signal source to achieve the switching between denitrification and nitrification, reducing power consumption. Through self-powered electron transport and a symbiotic microbial system, ammonia nitrogen removal is achieved without the need for an external carbon source, thus achieving continuous and efficient ammonia nitrogen degradation of wastewater. In this application, iron is the primary anode that preferentially corrodes, and the generated electrons are rapidly transferred to the conductive carbon mesh.

[0034] Continuous treatment effect: The ammonia nitrogen removal rate of each treatment process in each embodiment and comparative example was tested after 30 days of continuous wastewater treatment.
[0035] Table 1. Performance test results of wastewater
[0036] Combining Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the treatment process in Example 1 still maintained a high ammonia nitrogen removal rate after 30 days. This demonstrates that when treating wastewater, the implantation of a sulfur autotrophic bacteria-iron reducing bacteria composite microbial community forms a double-layer biofilm on the packing surface. The outer layer of sulfur bacteria utilizes the sulfate generated by the iron-carbon reaction for autotrophic deammoniation, while the inner layer of iron reducing bacteria regenerates ferrous ions, forming a closed material cycle chain and reducing sludge production. The sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite packing forms a stable electron transport network, allowing electrons generated by iron corrosion to directly act on the biofilm. Furthermore, the hydrogen gas generated by the iron-carbon reaction is used as a signal source to achieve the switching between denitrification and nitrification, reducing power consumption. Through self-powered electron transport and a symbiotic microbial system, ammonia nitrogen removal is achieved without the need for an external carbon source, thus achieving continuous and efficient ammonia nitrogen degradation of wastewater.
[0037] Based on Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the wastewater treatment effect is better when treated according to the treatment conditions in Examples 1-3.
[0038] Combining Examples 2, 4, and 5, it can be seen that when preparing sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite fillers, the iron powder layer is prepared according to the raw material ratio in Examples 1-3, resulting in sandwich-structured iron-carbon composite fillers with better performance.
[0039] Based on Examples 4, 6 and 7, it can be seen that when the weight ratio of iron-reducing bacterial solution to sulfur-autotrophic bacterial solution is (30-40):(60-70) when preparing the composite bacterial solution, the final composite membrane has a better treatment effect on wastewater.
