Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrolysis acidification wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a microbial extracellular electron enhancement device for a hydrolysis acidification system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, hydrolysis acidification technology has been widely used as a pretreatment method for certain biological treatment processes (such as aerobic processes) to treat high-concentration, recalcitrant, and complex wastewater, such as pharmaceutical wastewater, dyeing and printing wastewater, papermaking wastewater, and petrochemical wastewater. Hydrolysis acidification technology utilizes the unique transformation and degradation capabilities of anaerobic microorganisms for certain recalcitrant substances and toxic organic matter to reduce the biotoxicity of wastewater. It also converts recalcitrant macromolecular organic matter into easily biodegradable small molecules, effectively improving the biodegradability of wastewater. Simultaneously, it removes some organic matter, creating stable and excellent influent conditions for subsequent biological treatment.

[0003] However, on the one hand, during the hydrolysis and acidification process, hydrolytic acidifying bacteria participating in substrate oxidation often use H2 as an electron carrier to transfer the electrons they generate to organic pollutants to achieve the reduction of core functional groups. The low solubility of H2 in water greatly limits the electron transfer rate. On the other hand, hydrolytic acidifying bacteria have difficulty degrading organic compounds containing large amounts of heterocyclic or polycyclic compounds. Recent studies have found that microorganisms can directly transfer electrons through redox proteins (such as cytochromes) in the cell membrane or extracellular matrix, or through electrically conductive pili on the cell membrane, with higher efficiency than traditional interspecies electron transfer. Therefore, researchers have developed various methods to improve the efficiency of extracellular electron transfer in anaerobic reactors, such as adding inexpensive and readily available conductive materials (biochar, activated carbon fibers, etc.) to provide a carrier for anaerobic microorganisms and promote extracellular electron transfer efficiency.

[0004] In existing technologies, cathode filtration devices generally float on the water surface through their own buoyancy or by using external buoyant objects. However, the filter material covering the surface of the cathode filtration device increases the overall weight, resulting in insufficient buoyancy. This necessitates more frequent cleaning and maintenance, or the introduction of air into the inflatable float to increase buoyancy. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a microbial extracellular electron enhancement device for a hydrolysis acidification system.

[0013] Preferably, a gear is fixed on the turntable, a push rod motor is fixed on the outer wall of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction cell, and a rack is fixed on the output shaft of the push rod motor, with the rack meshing with the gear.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figure 1-7 A microbial extracellular electron enhancement device for a hydrolysis acidification system includes a biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1, an anode packing and a cathode filter device 3. An inlet pipe 101 is provided on one side of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1 near the bottom, and an outlet pipe 2 is provided on the side of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1 away from the inlet pipe 101 near the top. A sludge discharge system is provided inside the biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1.

[0029] The anode packing includes an anode support frame 4, on which multiple vertically arranged stainless steel wire ropes 401 are fixed. Multiple carbon fiber packings 402 are evenly distributed from top to bottom on the stainless steel wire ropes 401. The carbon fiber packings 402 are conducive to microbial biofilm formation and act as the anode of the electric field, forming a microcurrent environment around the anode. This selective formation is conducive to the enrichment and growth of conductive or electrophilic microorganisms, degrading recalcitrant organic matter in the water and achieving better hydrolysis and acidification effects. In the biological micro-electrolysis reactor 1, microorganisms can directly transfer electrons through redox proteins (such as cytochromes) in the cell membrane or extracellular matrix, or through conductive pili on the cell membrane. This process is more efficient than traditional interspecies electron transfer. Wastewater enters through the inlet pipe 101, and the treated water flows out through the outlet pipe 2 after being filtered by the cathode filter device 3, thus continuously treating wastewater.

[0030] The biological micro-electrolysis reactor 1 is also equipped with a height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the height of the cathode filter device 3 and maintain its relative position with the water surface. The height adjustment mechanism includes a turntable 202 installed on the side wall of the biological micro-electrolysis reactor 1. The top of the water outlet pipe 2 is bent to a horizontal state and faces the center of the turntable 202. It is connected to a first connecting pipe 203 through a first rotary joint 201.

[0031] The end of the first connecting pipe 203 furthest from the first rotary joint 201 passes through the edge of the turntable 202 and extends horizontally into the interior of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction cell 1. The first connecting pipe 203 is rotatably connected to the turntable 202. When the turntable 202 rotates counterclockwise (refer to...), Figure 6This can drive the first connecting pipe 203 to follow and move along the arc, thereby lowering the height of the first connecting pipe 203. When rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, it will rotate to... Figure 7 The height.

[0032] The first connecting pipe 203, with one end away from the first rotary joint 201, passes through the edge of the turntable 202 and extends horizontally into the interior of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1. The first connecting pipe 203 is rotatably connected to the turntable 202. The end of the first connecting pipe 203 away from the first rotary joint 201 is rotatably connected to the second connecting pipe 2031. The second connecting pipe 2031 is perpendicular to the first connecting pipe 203. A vertical slide rail 6 is fixed on the inner wall of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1. A lifting bracket 601 is slidably installed on the vertical slide rail 6. A third connecting pipe 602 is fixed on the lifting bracket 601. One end of the second connecting pipe 2031 extends movably into the third connecting pipe 602. The end of the third connecting pipe 602 away from the second connecting pipe 2031 extends into the interior of the cathode filter device 3 and has multiple water inlet holes at the bottom.

[0033] The first connecting pipe 203 is made of Figures 6 to 7 During the transition between the two states, due to the restriction of the second connecting pipe 2031 by the third connecting pipe 602, the second connecting pipe 2031 remains horizontal and moves downwards, and moves horizontally relative to the third connecting pipe 602. At this time, it will drive the third connecting pipe 602 to move vertically downwards, thereby driving the cathode filter device 3 to move vertically downwards. The turntable 202 can drive the cathode filter device 3 to move downwards by rotating counterclockwise, and can drive the cathode filter device 3 to move upwards by rotating clockwise. This achieves active adjustment of the height of the cathode filter device 3, which can easily maintain a suitable relative height between the cathode filter device 3 and the water surface. Compared with the transmission method that relies on the buoyancy of the cathode filter device 3 itself or external buoyancy objects, the height is easier to control. Traditional automatic buoyancy adjustment methods are prone to insufficient buoyancy after a period of use due to the increase in overall weight caused by the filter material covering the surface of the cathode filter device 3. This requires more frequent cleaning and maintenance, or the injection of air into the inflatable float.

[0034] Among them, a gear 2021 is fixed on the turntable 202, and a push rod motor 204 is fixed on the outer wall of the biological micro-electrolysis reaction tank 1. A rack 205 is fixed on the output shaft of the push rod motor 204. The rack 205 meshes with the gear 2021. By controlling the extension and retraction of the push rod motor 204, the rack 205 can be driven to move horizontally. In turn, the meshing of the rack 205 with the gear 2021 can drive the turntable 202 to rotate.

The power supply is also common knowledge in the field.
