Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment and resource utilization technology, and in particular to a device and method for enhancing Feammox denitrification efficiency based on an extracellular electron transport regulation strategy. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for low-carbon and resource-efficient wastewater treatment, traditional nitrification-denitrification processes generally face problems such as high external carbon source requirements, high energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, anaerobic iron ammonia oxidation (Feammox), as an autotrophic nitrogen removal pathway, utilizes Fe(III) as a terminal electron acceptor and can effectively remove nitrogen and couple iron cycling under low C / N ratio conditions, showing promising application prospects.
[0003] However, the Feammox system is often limited in its engineering applications by insufficient extracellular electron transport efficiency. On the one hand, electrons generated by ammonia oxidation metabolism need to be exported through the transmembrane electron transport chain; on the other hand, there is still significant resistance to the transfer of electrons from the microbial surface to the iron matrix (such as dissolved Fe(III) or solid iron minerals), which leads to low utilization efficiency of the iron matrix and insufficient Fe(III) / Fe(II) cycling, thus affecting the denitrification rate and stability. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize the electron transport process to improve the efficiency of the Feammox reaction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an apparatus and method for enhancing the nitrogen removal efficiency of Feammox based on an extracellular electron transport regulation strategy. By regulating the temperature, stirring, and iron ion concentration in the reactor, and combining this with the addition of L-cysteine and corn straw biochar, the electron transport efficiency in the Feammox reaction is improved, thereby enhancing the nitrogen removal efficiency. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] A device for enhancing the denitrification efficiency of Feammox based on an extracellular electron transfer regulation strategy mainly includes a Feammox CSTR reactor installation structure, which includes an inlet and outlet water system, a reactor main structure, a stirring and mixing device, a constant temperature control device, an aeration and anaerobic maintenance device, and an EET enhancement dosing device.
[0006] The water inlet and outlet system consists of an inlet, an outlet, an inlet tank, an outlet tank, a diaphragm pump, and pipelines.
[0007] The diaphragm pump is an Aldos V series pump used to control the continuous inlet flow rate;
[0008] The water inlet tank is connected to the water inlet port of the diaphragm pump via a pipeline, and the water outlet port of the diaphragm pump is connected to the water inlet of the main reactor.
[0009] The water outlet tank is connected to the water outlet of the main reactor. The reactor adopts a continuous water inlet-continuous water outlet operation mode, with the water flow being bottom inlet and top outlet.
[0010] The main structure of the CSTR reactor consists of a top cover, a bottom cover, an effective reaction zone, and a three-phase separator. The sampling port and sludge discharge port are located on the main structure of the reactor. The main material of the main structure of the CSTR reactor is plexiglass.
[0011] The mixing device consists of a motor at the top of the reactor, a stirring paddle, and a speed regulator; the stirring paddle is driven by the top motor to mix the mud and water, and the stirring speed is controlled by the speed regulator to 110 r / min.
[0012] The constant temperature control device consists of a water bath jacket and a super constant temperature water bath.
[0013] The water bath jacket is wrapped around the outside of the effective reaction zone of the CSTR reactor and is connected to the super constant temperature water bath through pipelines. Warm water circulates from bottom to top in the super constant temperature water bath to control the temperature. The temperature is controlled at 32±1℃ by the constant temperature water bath device.
[0014] The aeration and anaerobic maintenance device consists of a nitrogen cylinder, a nitrogen cylinder pressure control valve, an aeration disc, a gas collection bag, and a gas washing bottle.
[0015] The nitrogen cylinder regulates the nitrogen flow rate through a pressure control valve and introduces nitrogen into the water inlet tank and aeration disc through pipelines for inert gas replacement.
[0016] The gas washing bottle is connected to the water inlet tank. After the non-inert gas is discharged, the bottle is closed. The remaining nitrogen is stored in the gas collection bag to ensure that when the gas pressure in the water inlet tank decreases, the nitrogen in the gas collection bag can be replenished to maintain the anaerobic environment.
[0017] The EET enhanced dosing device consists of a dosing port, a storage bottle and a metering pump. The added L-cysteine or corn straw biochar is stored in the storage bottle and connected to the reactor through the outlet of the metering pump for intermittent dosing.
[0018] A method for enhancing the denitrification efficiency of Feammox based on an extracellular electron transport regulation strategy is proposed. The method mainly consists of two parts: Feammox system startup and enhancement of Feammox based on EET.
[0019] The Feammox system startup and operation method is as follows: Anaerobic granular sludge is selected as seed sludge. After removing the supernatant by static sedimentation, the settled sludge is collected. The sludge inoculation amount is 40% (v / v) of the effective volume of the reactor, i.e., 2 L of anaerobic granular sludge is inoculated. The reactor is a CSTR reactor (effective reaction volume is 5L). After inoculation, the stirring device and temperature control device are turned on simultaneously. The stirring speed is controlled at 110 r / min and the temperature is controlled at 32 ± 1 ℃. The reactor adopts a continuous influent-continuous effluent operation mode. The influent is controlled by a diaphragm pump. The initial HRT is set to 10 hours. During operation, the anaerobic environment is maintained.
[0020] The EET-based enhancement method for Feammox is as follows: Stable Feammox sludge is selected as inoculum, with an inoculum volume of 40% (v / v) of the reactor's effective volume, i.e., 1 L of stable Feammox sludge. The reactor is a small-scale CSTR reactor with an effective reaction volume of 2.5 L. After inoculation, the stirring and temperature control devices are simultaneously activated, with the stirring speed controlled at 110 r / min and the temperature controlled at 32 ± 1 ℃. The reactor operates in a continuous influent-continuous effluent mode, with the influent controlled by a diaphragm pump. The initial HRT is set to 10 hours, and an anaerobic environment is maintained during operation. L-cysteine and corn straw biochar are both added to the reactor using an enhanced dosing device.
[0021] The operation and enhancement process of the Feammox system is mainly divided into the following three stages:
[0022] Phase I, days 1–30, is the adaptation and establishment period for the Feammox reaction: During this phase, a low-disturbance continuous flow operation mode is used to establish the sludge basic metabolism and iron-nitrogen coupling reaction capacity, and gradually establish the basic Feammox reaction conditions. The influent Fe(III) concentration is gradually increased from 5 mg / L to 10 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration is gradually increased from 5 mg / L to 25 mg / L.
[0023] Phase II, days 31-95, is the stabilization period of the Feammox reaction: In this phase, the continuous flow operation mode and basic operating conditions are maintained in the same manner as in Phase I (temperature 32±1℃, stirring 110 r / min, HRT 10 h). By steadily increasing the supply of Fe(III) electron acceptors and controlling the influent load, the system forms a more stable Fe(III) / Fe(II) cycle characteristic. During this phase, the influent Fe(III) concentration is stabilized at around 30 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration is stabilized at 40 mg / L.
[0024] Phase III: Days 96-160 are the EET enhancement period for the Feammox reaction: In this phase, to overcome the electron transport bottleneck in the Feammox system and establish a complete "transmembrane electron transport and extracellular mediated transport" EET chain, under the same basic influent and operating conditions as in Phase II, two parallel reactors are selected to independently implement the following strategy for enhancement:
[0025] Strategy A is direct EET enhancement: L-cysteine is added to the reactor as an EET regulator to promote the synthesis and expression of cytochrome c in functional bacterial communities. The addition method is intermittent: add one day and stop for two days, while maintaining the same influent conditions as the previous stage.
[0026] Strategy B is electron shuttle (EET) enhancement: Corn straw biochar is added to the reactor as an electron shuttle, which mediates extracellular electron transfer through its conductive network and surface functional groups, reduces electron transfer resistance and promotes Fe(III) / Fe(II) cycle; the biochar is added to the reactor in a one-time addition and supplemented later, and is effectively retained by a three-phase separator structure to prevent large amounts of loss with the effluent.
[0027] Beneficial effects:
[0028] This invention significantly improves the electron transfer efficiency and denitrification performance of the Feammox reaction system through an extracellular electron transfer regulation strategy. By precisely controlling the reactor temperature, stirring speed, and influent iron ion concentration, and combining this with the addition of L-cysteine and corn straw biochar, efficient electron transfer between the iron matrix (Fe(III)) and microorganisms is promoted, thereby improving nitrogen removal efficiency and enhancing the utilization and conversion rate of Fe(III). The use of a CSTR reactor ensures thorough mixing of activated sludge and influent, guaranteeing the stability and efficiency of the reaction process. By gradually increasing the Fe(III) concentration, the inhibitory effect of high-concentration Fe(III) on microorganisms is avoided, effectively improving the denitrification rate and stability of the reactor. Furthermore, the use of low-cost sludge sources and environmentally friendly electron transfer enhancers gives this invention significant advantages in terms of economy and environmental friendliness.
