Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to the application of a composite modified activated carbon in enhancing the rapid formation of aerobic granular sludge. Background Technology

[0002] Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology is a novel biological wastewater treatment process based on microbial self-aggregation. This technology optimizes reactor hydraulic conditions and operating parameters, enabling dispersed microorganisms to form granular sludge aggregates with regular shapes, dense structures, and excellent settling properties in an aerobic environment. Compared to traditional activated sludge flocs, aerobic granular sludge offers significant advantages, including high biomass concentration, high sludge-water separation efficiency, strong simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal capabilities, and a compact reactor structure. It can couple multiple functions such as carbon oxidation, nitrification, denitrification, and biological phosphorus removal within a single reactor, significantly reducing the footprint and energy consumption of wastewater treatment facilities. In recent years, with the development of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) and their improved processes, aerobic granular sludge technology has shown broad application prospects in the treatment of municipal wastewater, high-concentration organic wastewater, and industrial wastewater.

[0003] Despite the numerous technological advantages of aerobic granular sludge technology, its industrial application has long been constrained by the lengthy start-up period. During reactor start-up, the inoculated flocculent activated sludge needs to be gradually acclimated and cultivated into structurally stable granular sludge, a process that typically requires several months of operation. This significantly prolongs the engineering commissioning cycle and increases operating costs during the start-up phase. The main reason for the slow start-up of granular sludge is the high sensitivity of the microbial self-aggregation process to operating parameters such as hydraulic shear force, substrate selective pressure, and settling time. Improper parameter control can easily lead to sludge floc disintegration or excessive proliferation of filamentous bacteria, hindering granule formation. Furthermore, differences in water quality characteristics and microbial community structure make the granular start-up process difficult to predict and control, further exacerbating the uncertainty and technical risks of reactor start-up.

[0004] Therefore, shortening the granulation start-up cycle of aerobic granular sludge and achieving rapid and stable reactor start-up have become key technical requirements for promoting the engineering application of this technology. Summary of the Invention

[0018] (2) The composite modified activated carbon provided by the present invention forms uniformly dispersed calcium and magnesium oxide crystal nuclei on the surface and in the pores of activated carbon by co-loading calcium chloride and magnesium nitrate and calcination treatment. This can efficiently neutralize the negative charge on the sludge surface and reduce electrostatic repulsion.
