Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular relates to a device for removing antibiotic resistance genes in water. Background Art

[0002] Due to the abuse of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance has become one of the major threats to human health, causing more than 700,000 deaths worldwide each year. It is estimated that by 2050, more than 10 million people will die each year from antibiotic resistance, causing related losses of up to $100 trillion. Wastewater treatment plants receive wastewater from industries such as life, aquaculture and medical care, and are hot spots for the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The accumulation of high concentrations of antibiotics will further promote the horizontal transfer of ARGs.

[0003] Simple membrane separation technology is based on size screening and can only filter bacteria in water, but cannot remove difficult-to-degrade organic pollutants in water. Advanced oxidation technology that uses transition metal elements to activate permonosulfate (PMS) to generate reactive oxygen species in situ has developed rapidly and can efficiently remove a variety of organic pollutants in wastewater. Among them, single-atom catalysts have the advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. Compared with traditional transition metal catalysts, they have uniform active sites and high atomic utilization efficiency. They are easy to activate PMS, but there are problems such as difficulty in collecting catalysts. Combining membrane separation technology with advanced oxidation technology can efficiently degrade ARGs in water, fix the catalyst, and improve the efficiency of advanced oxidation by controlling the hydraulic retention time.

[0004] Under long-term circulation, background impurities in the actual water body will block the catalyst and membrane pores. The lateral water flow can deposit impurities by gravity during the flow; the bypass circulation device can increase the liquid disturbance on the membrane surface and play a cleaning effect, thus avoiding the blockage of membrane components by impurities due to gravity.
