Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental biotechnology, and in particular relates to an integrated biological trickling filtration method and apparatus for ammonia removal. Background Technology

[0002] Ammonia emissions from livestock and poultry farms have become a significant issue of non-point source pollution. Ammonia emissions also lead to soil acidification in arable land. Therefore, controlling ammonia pollution from livestock and poultry farming has become an urgent task to ensure food security and public health.

[0003] Biological trickling filtration (BTF) is widely used due to its advantages such as simple operation, low operating costs, and easy control of reaction conditions. Its principle is as follows: ammonia-containing waste gas enters the device and is absorbed by the circulating spray liquid. Nitrifying bacteria (AOB ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and NOB nitrite-oxidizing bacteria) on the surface of the packing material degrade ammonia nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen. However, existing technologies suffer from acidification and deactivation problems. The metabolism of AOB and NOB produces a large amount of hydrogen ions, causing the reactor pH to continuously drop below 6.0. This leads to a sharp decline in the activity of conventional nitrifying bacteria, accumulation of ammonia nitrogen in the spray liquid, re-evaporation of ammonia gas, and system collapse. Existing solutions (external alkali neutralization, frequent liquid changes, and pure bacterial inoculation) all have drawbacks such as high cost, secondary pollution, and poor stability. In addition, existing technologies have the critical problem of failing to remove total nitrogen. Traditional biological trickling filtration can only oxidize ammonia nitrogen into nitrate / nitrite nitrogen, resulting in the continuous accumulation of total nitrogen in the circulating liquid. This necessitates the weekly replacement of large amounts of circulating liquid, wasting water resources and nutrients and causing secondary pollution of nitrogen-containing wastewater. Existing coupled denitrification technologies mostly use external anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactors, which have a large footprint, complex pipelines, low mass transfer efficiency, and cannot be efficiently matched with biotrickling filtration processes.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated bio-trickling filtration device that combines bio-trickling filtration technology and deep denitrification technology, has a small footprint, and low operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Example 1 An integrated bio-trickling filtration ammonia removal device includes a tower body. The tower body contains, from top to bottom, a spray layer, a bio-trickling filtration layer, an ammonia nitrogen conversion layer (i.e., anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit reactor 3), and a circulating liquid collection zone.

[0032] BTF inlet 1 is located on the tower body, specifically between the bio-trickling filter layer and the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer. Ammonia-containing waste gas enters the tower body through BTF inlet 1 and flows from bottom to top. A gas distributor is installed at BTF inlet 1 to evenly distribute the incoming gas.

[0033] BTF inlet 1 and BTF outlet 5. Ammonia gas enters BTF inlet 1 through a pipeline, and a rotor flow meter is installed on the pipeline. BTF outlet 5 is connected to an outlet pipeline, and an outlet valve is installed on the outlet pipeline.

[0034] The anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit leachate inlet 2 is located between the biological trickling filter layer and the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer, and is used to introduce the leachate flowing out of the biological trickling filter layer into the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer (anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit reactor 3).

[0035] The anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit reactor 3 is located in the lower middle part of the tower, specifically in the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer. Its interior is filled with packing material 8 loaded with anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular sludge. The reactor receives leachate from the biotrickling filter layer and achieves deep denitrification through the anaerobic ammonia oxidation reaction.

[0036] Composite packing material 4, loaded with aerobic activated sludge, is filled into the biotrickling filter bed. In this embodiment, 1×1cm polyurethane sponge is used as the composite packing material, with a filling volume of 0.85 L. The MLSS of the aerobic activated sludge is 20000 mg / L. Ammonia-containing waste gas is absorbed by the circulating spray liquid in the biotrickling filter bed and converted into nitrite and nitrate nitrogen by nitrifying bacteria in the aerobic activated sludge on the surface of the packing material.

[0037] BTF outlet 5 is located at the top of the tower. The purified gas, after treatment by the bio-trickling filter, is discharged from the tower through BTF outlet 5. An ammonia concentration detection device can be installed at the outlet to monitor the treatment effect.

[0038] Spray pump 6 is installed on the circulation pipeline, located between the circulating water tank 9 and the spray layer at the top of the tower. Spray pump 6 is used to pump the circulating liquid in the circulating water tank 9 to the spray layer at the top of the tower, and spray it downwards through the water distributor and nozzles to achieve the absorption of ammonia-containing waste gas and the wetting of the bio-trickling filter layer.

[0039] The anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit leachate outlet 7 is located at the lower part or bottom of the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer (anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit reactor 3). The leachate treated by anaerobic ammonia oxidation is discharged through this outlet and returned to the circulating water tank 9 through a pipeline, realizing the reuse of the circulating liquid.

[0040] The packing material 8, loaded with anammox granular sludge, is placed inside the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer (anammox unit reactor 3). In this embodiment, 1×1cm polyurethane sponge is used as the packing material, with a filling volume of 0.4 L. The MLSS of the anammox granular sludge is 18000 mg / L.

[0044] The artificial water inlet 12 of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit is located at the bottom of the tower body, below the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer (anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit reactor 3). Through this inlet, artificial water from the artificial water tank 11 of the anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit can be injected into the ammonia nitrogen conversion layer.

[0045] The second BTF leachate discharge port 13 is located on the other side of the bottom of the tower (opposite to the first BTF leachate discharge port 10), and is also connected to the circulating water tank 9 via a pipe. The second BTF leachate discharge port 13 has the same function as the first BTF leachate discharge port 10. It is opened during the biofilm formation and initial acclimatization stage, and closed during the stable operation stage of synergistic denitrification. It can also be used as a backup discharge port or to empty the tower.

[0046] Operation process description: Biofilm formation and acclimatization stage: Open the first BTF leachate discharge port 10 and the second BTF leachate discharge port 13, and close the anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit leachate inlet port 2. The leachate from the bio-trickling filter layer is directly discharged into the circulating water tank 9 and circulated by the spray pump 6. At the same time, the anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit artificial water supply tank 11 supplies artificial water to the anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit reactor 3 through the anaerobic ammonia oxidation unit artificial water supply inlet port 12, operating independently.

[0047] Stable operation phase of synergistic denitrification: Close the first BTF leachate discharge port 10 and the second BTF leachate discharge port 13, and open the anammox unit leachate inlet port 2. The leachate from the biotrickling filter layer flows by gravity into the anammox unit reactor 3 through the anammox unit leachate inlet port 2. After being treated by the packing material 8 loaded with anammox granular sludge, it is returned to the circulating water tank 9 through the anammox unit leachate outlet port 7, and then sent to the top of the tower for spraying by the spray pump 6, forming an integrated synergistic denitrification cycle.
