Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of return sludge in sewage treatment, and particularly relates to a device for reducing the inhibitory effect of new pollutants of PFASs on activated sludge microorganisms. Background Technique

[0002] New pollutants refer to pollutants that have been newly discovered or concerned, pose risks to the ecological environment or human health, have not been included in management, or the existing management measures are not sufficient to effectively prevent and control their risks. At present, more than 20 major categories of new pollutants have been discovered globally, and each category contains dozens or even hundreds of compounds. At present, the new pollutants mainly concerned internationally include: environmental endocrine disruptors, persistent organic pollutants such as perfluorinated compounds, antibiotics, microplastics and other 4 categories. Different types of new pollutants have one or more biological toxicities such as organ toxicity, embryo toxicity, reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption effect, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and mutagenicity.

[0003] PFASs refer to halogenated organic compounds in which all hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine, and have excellent stability, surface activity, hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, etc. However, in recent years, with the wide application of PFASs in the manufacture of various products including textiles, clothing, carpets, paper coatings, cosmetics, non-stick pans, waterproof materials, and foam fire extinguishers, PFASs have inevitably accumulated in sewage treatment plants. However, due to the limitation of treatment technology, existing sewage treatment technologies and equipment at home and abroad (such as coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination sewage treatment technologies, etc.) often cannot completely remove PFASs, which has seriously threatened human health and the safety of the entire ecological environment.

[0004] At present, the main treatment methods of PFASs include electrochemical oxidation method, ozone oxidation method, photocatalytic oxidation method, adsorption method, biological treatment method, etc. The biological treatment method is the mainstream process adopted by sewage treatment plants and has the advantages of stability, economy, etc. Among them, the A 2 / O process is a commonly used biological secondary sewage treatment process and is widely used in urban sewage treatment plants and industrial sewage treatment plants. The A 2 / O process has a certain removal effect on PFASs by the microorganisms in the return sludge, but PFASs inhibit the growth of microorganisms due to their strong biological toxicity, resulting in low removal efficiency of PFASs by microorganisms. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device for reducing the inhibitory effect of new pollutants of PFASs on activated sludge microorganisms to improve the biological activity of microorganisms in the return sludge and enhance the removal efficiency of microorganisms on PFASs.

[0011] Further, the working part of the ultrasonic generator is sleeved inside the ultrasonic reaction pressure tank, and the number of ultrasonic generators is not less than two and they are evenly distributed on both side walls of the ultrasonic reaction pressure tank. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generators are used to react with the reflux sludge, and then the efficiency of treating PFASs by the A 2 / O process is improved by enhancing the microbial activity.

[0012] Further, an outer protective cover is sleeved outside the ultrasonic reaction pressure tank, and the outer protective cover covers and protects the ultrasonic generator to prevent other structures in the environment from damaging the ultrasonic generator.

[0013] Furthermore, the ultrasonic reaction pressure tank specifically adopts a sealed pressure tank structure. Thus, under the action of pressure, the ultrasonic-treated return sludge can be directly transported into the anaerobic tank without the need for additional pumping equipment, reducing the use cost of the overall device.
