Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sewage treatment especially relates to a high dissolved oxygen content constructed wetland system for removing sulfonamide antibiotics. BACKGROUND

[0002] Constructed wetland is mainly composed of soil, plants, microorganisms, substrate and water body. The removal of pollutants in the water environment is mainly by substrate adsorption, plant absorption and microbial degradation, and the three work together. Compared with traditional secondary biochemical treatment technology, constructed wetland technology not only has the advantages of low energy consumption and low construction and maintenance cost, but also has better removal effect on trace pollutants such as antibiotics in sewage. The removal effect of constructed wetland system is mainly affected by factors such as system structure, substrate type, plant species, hydraulic load, residence time, as well as environmental factors such as pH, DO content, temperature and illumination.

[0003] The wetland substrate is not only the carrier for the growth of wetland plants, but also the environment for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the system. In constructed wetland, most of the physical and chemical reactions occur on the contact surface of the substrate. The accumulation of antibiotics in soil is significantly higher than that in zeolite and other substrates and plants, and the removal of antibiotic resistance genes is also affected by the properties of the substrate. Therefore, the adsorption capacity of the substrate is one of the important indicators affecting the efficiency of wetland remediation. In addition, the particle size selection, combination method and filling method of the constructed wetland filler are important factors affecting the removal efficiency of the constructed wetland in actual operation. At present, the main research of traditional substrate at home and abroad includes zeolite, quartz stone, activated carbon, sandy soil and the like. The traditional substrate filler has stable removal effect on traditional pollutants such as COD, TN, TP and ammonia nitrogen, but when the sewage contains special pollutants such as antibiotics, the removal effect of the traditional substrate filler is not good. With the wide application of antibiotics, which has the characteristics of hydrophilicity, difficulty in hydrolysis and persistence, it is gradually detected in large quantities. At the same time, sulfonamide antibiotics exist in the environment at low concentration for a long time, which poses a threat to the safety of the environment, ecology and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the substrate of constructed wetland, adopt suitable combination method and operation method, so as to improve the removal efficiency of vertical flow constructed wetland for various pollutants.

[0004] In the existing technology, the dissolved oxygen content in the constructed wetland is insufficient to maintain the activity of microorganisms in the system, which leads to the removal effect of pollutants not reaching the expected value. In order to improve the removal effect of constructed wetland on special pollutants, aeration is used to increase the dissolved oxygen concentration in the system, so as to accelerate the degradation and conversion of microorganisms to pollutants. However, the aeration process consumes energy and increases the operation cost, and the aeration device may need subsequent maintenance and repair, which increases the maintenance difficulty and cost. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a constructed wetland system which is simple in operation, low in maintenance cost and has high removal effect on pollutants. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
