Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment equipment, and more specifically, relates to a device for treating wastewater with high nitrate and copper ammonia content. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonia is an important nitrogen source, but excessive nitrogen use can easily lead to eutrophication of water bodies. Copper-ammonia wastewater and high-nitrate wastewater are common and difficult-to-treat high-nitrogen wastewaters in industry. Currently, the main methods for treating copper-ammonia wastewater include stripping, breakpoint chlorination, and electrochemical methods. High-nitrogen wastewater cannot meet effluent standards after centralized treatment and requires subsequent biological treatment to achieve discharge compliance. The traditional nitrification-denitrification process used in wastewater treatment plants to treat nitrogen-containing wastewater consumes a large amount of aeration, while denitrification requires a large number of electron donors to convert nitrate nitrogen into nitrogen gas. This results in high operating costs and generates large amounts of residual sludge and greenhouse gases, causing significant environmental damage.
[0003] Anammox is considered the most cost-effective and ecologically acceptable method for biological nitrogen removal from wastewater. In anammox, anammox bacteria use NO2 as a nitrogen source. - -N is the electron acceptor, directly accepting NH4+. + -N is reduced to N2 without the need for oxygen or organic matter. Therefore, it can significantly reduce oxygen demand and sludge production, while eliminating the need for an external carbon source. This technology is characterized by low consumption, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, making it the most economical and efficient nitrogen removal process to date. However, anaerobic ammonia oxidation cannot remove NO3 from wastewater. - -N, and because the reaction produces 11% NO3. - -N will produce nitrogen residue, which will severely degrade the denitrification performance of the system.
