Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological restoration technology, and in particular to an efficient ecological restoration device for the degradation of river and lake sediments. Background Technology

[0002] The accumulation of pollutants (such as heavy metals, nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, and organic pollutants) in river and lake sediments has become a major source of "endogenous pollution" in water bodies.

[0003] Existing sediment remediation technologies are mainly divided into physical, chemical and biological methods: (1) Physical methods (such as sediment dredging and covering) have problems such as large engineering volume, high cost, high risk of secondary pollution and difficulty in subsequent treatment; (2) Chemical methods (addition of iron salts, peroxides, etc.) are prone to abnormal transformation of pollutant forms, and have the risks of chemical toxicity and ecological risks; (3) Biological methods (phytoremediation, microbial remediation) are eco-friendly, but phytoremediation has a long cycle and is limited by environmental conditions, while microbial remediation requires long-term addition of specific strains and is difficult to screen and cultivate, which can easily lead to the risk of invasion of alien species.

[0004] In addition, existing technologies generally have the following defects: (1) Traditional methods often use a single treatment method, which makes it difficult to achieve multi-level synergistic degradation of pollutants; (2) Plant and microbial remediation is easily affected by environmental factors such as water temperature and dissolved oxygen, resulting in large fluctuations in treatment effect; (3) The bottom sediment and secondary products after remediation are not effectively converted and utilized, resulting in resource waste; (4) There is a lack of real-time monitoring and intelligent control, which relies on manual operation and has high operation and maintenance costs.

[0026] This utility model provides the following: Figure 1-4 The device shown is an efficient degradation and ecological restoration device for river and lake bottom sediments, comprising, in sequence along the water flow direction, a mixing zone 101, a filtration zone 102, a pretreatment zone 103, an enhanced treatment zone 104, an algae cultivation zone 105, an aquatic animal cultivation zone 106, and an effluent testing zone 107.

[0027] The mixing zone 101 has multiple agitators 201 at its bottom; the filtration zone 102 has multiple layers of filter cotton 202; the pretreatment zone 103 has multiple plant fiber floating beds 203 and emergent plants and nitrifying bacteria packing 204; the enhanced treatment zone 104 has algae-bacterial symbiotic packing 205, which has floats and counterweights, and a packing connecting rope 206 at its bottom, forming a symbiotic system of immobilized algae and sludge; algae cultivation... Both the aquaculture area 105 and the aquatic animal culture area 106 are equipped with aerators 209, which are connected to multiple nano-aeration pipes 208. Green algae 207 are added to the algae culture area 105 to absorb the remaining nutrients. Triangular sail mussels 210, large daphnia 211, and silver carp and bighead carp 212 are added to the aquatic animal culture area 106 to achieve ecological balance and water purification. The effluent inspection area 107 is equipped with a circulating water pump and water pipes 213, as well as an online water quality monitoring probe 214.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, emergent plants are planted on the floating bed 203 and nitrifying bacteria packing material with pre-film treatment is suspended at the bottom of the floating bed.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the emergent plants in the pretreatment zone 103 of this invention are highly pollution-tolerant varieties, and the nitrifying bacteria packing material is pre-treated polyethylene material.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, the pretreatment zone 103 is provided with an impermeable enclosure 301, and multiple semi-permeable enclosures 302 are provided between the pretreatment zone 103 and the enhanced treatment zone 104 for physical interception of suspended matter.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the semi-permeable enclosure 302 in this utility model is made of polyester cashmere cotton, with a woven three-dimensional mesh structure, and the fibers on the water-facing side are dense and thick.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the volume ratio of the stirring zone 101, filtration zone 102, pretreatment zone 103, enhanced treatment zone 104, algae cultivation zone 105, aquatic animal cultivation zone 106, and effluent inspection zone 107 in this utility model is 1:4:20:30:80:40:5.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, the bacterial-algae symbiotic packing material 205 and the algae cultivation area 105 are connected through an overflow area, and the overflow holes are arranged 3-5cm above the enclosure.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, the aquatic animal cultivation area 106 is arranged in layers according to ecological niches, wherein the large daphnia 211 is located in the upper layer, the triangular sail mussel 210 and the silver carp and bighead carp 212 are located in the middle layer, and the shrimp is located in the lower layer.

[0035] Working principle: In practical implementation, this utility model operates in synergy according to the following steps to achieve efficient degradation and resource utilization of pollutants in sediment:

[0036] (I) Sediment Release and Mixing

[0037] Multiple agitators 201 at the bottom of mixing zone 101 are activated to periodically agitate the sediment, ensuring that pollutants such as heavy metals, nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter in the sediment are fully released and uniformly mixed in the water. The agitation frequency and duration are automatically adjusted according to the sediment thickness and pollutant concentration to ensure that the pollutants are fully suspended without disrupting the dissolved oxygen balance of the water.

[0038] (II) Physical Interception and Preliminary Purification

[0039] The mixed wastewater flows into filtration zone 102, where it is filtered through multiple layers of filter cotton 202, which progressively intercepts large suspended solids (SS) and some colloidal substances, improving water transparency. The woven, three-dimensional mesh structure of the filter cotton effectively extends the water flow path, enhances its interception capacity, and prevents clogging.

[0040] (III) Biosynergistic Degradation

[0041] In the pretreatment zone 103, highly pollution-tolerant emergent plants such as cattails and reeds are planted on the plant fiber floating bed 203. Their roots absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, and their root secretions promote the proliferation of microbial communities on the nitrifying bacteria packing 204, degrading organic pollutants such as COD. The pre-filmed polyethylene packing suspended at the bottom of the floating bed provides an attachment carrier for nitrifying bacteria, accelerating the conversion of ammonia nitrogen into nitrate, and initially reducing pollutant concentration by more than 40%.

[0042] (iv) Enhanced treatment of bacterial-algae symbiosis

[0043] In the enhanced treatment zone 104, the surface of the algae-bacterial symbiotic packing material 205 is covered with immobilized algae and sludge, forming a symbiotic system. The design of the float and counterweight ensures that the packing material is evenly distributed in the water layer, and the packing material connecting rope 206 prevents displacement. Algae absorb CO2 and release oxygen through photosynthesis, promoting the complete decomposition of organic matter by aerobic bacteria; at the same time, algae enrich heavy metals and recalcitrant organic matter, and sludge further purifies the water through adsorption, reducing pollutant concentration by another 75%.

[0044] (V) Algal Proliferation and Resource Conversion

[0045] In the algae cultivation zone 105, dissolved oxygen is supplemented through nano-aeration pipes 208. Added green algae 207, such as Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus, proliferate rapidly, absorbing excess nitrogen and phosphorus and inhibiting eutrophication. High-density algae are harvested periodically and can be used as biofuel or feed, achieving resource utilization.

[0046] (vi) Purification and Balance of the Ecosystem

[0047] The aquatic animal cultivation area 106 is stratified according to ecological niches: the upper layer contains large Daphnia davidii 211 that filter-feeds on phytoplankton and organic detritus; the middle layer contains Triangular sail mussels 210 and silver carp and bighead carp 212 that feed on suspended particles and algae; and the lower layer contains shrimp that remove benthic organic matter. Through the food chain, pollutants are ultimately converted into biomass, further purifying the water and reducing pollutant concentrations by more than 95%. Aerator 209 maintains dissolved oxygen in the water, ensuring the activity of aquatic organisms.

[0048] (vii) Intelligent monitoring and cyclic control

[0049] The online water quality monitoring probe 214 in the effluent inspection area 107 monitors indicators such as pH, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and COD in real time. If the water quality meets the standards, the treated water is slowly discharged into the natural water body through the overflow hole; if the standards are exceeded, the circulating water pump 213 automatically starts and returns the water to the pretreatment area 103 for secondary treatment until the pollutant concentration meets the standards.

[0050] (viii) Resource recovery and system maintenance

[0051] After the remediated sediment passes testing, it can be recycled for soil improvement or landfill. Secondary products such as algae, daphnia, mussels, and fish are harvested regularly and used as feed or seedlings for aquaculture. During system operation, the automatic control system optimizes the stirring intensity, aeration rate, and water flow rate to reduce energy consumption and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
