接种污泥对好氧颗粒污泥稳定性的影响

为研究接种污泥对好氧颗粒污泥稳定性的影响,将以城市污水处理厂的活性污泥和以啤酒废水处理厂的活性污泥为接种污泥培养的成熟好氧颗粒污泥封存后重新启动运行,探讨其理化性能、降解性能的恢复以及种群结构的变化情况。结果表明:接种污泥对好氧颗粒污泥的稳定性具有一定的影响,沉降性能好、生物活性强的啤酒废水处理厂的接种污泥形成的颗粒污泥形态恢复快,约需35 d,沉降性能恢复为贮存前的93%,具有较好的稳定性;对COD、NH3-N的降解效果与用城市污水厂的污泥接种形成的好氧颗粒污泥相近,但其对TP有更好的去除效果,COD、NH3-N、TP的去除率分别达95.10%、91.80%、94.00%。变性梯度凝胶电泳法(DGGE)分析表明:啤酒废水厂污泥接种形成的颗粒污泥的群落结构多样性十分丰富,优势种属达20个操作分离单元(OTUs);而城市污水厂污泥接种形成的颗粒污泥中优势种属只有11个OTUs。     

微生物絮凝剂投加方式对好氧颗粒污泥性能的影响

为提高好氧污泥颗粒化速度, 采用微生物絮凝剂, 探讨在好氧颗粒污泥培养过程中微生物絮凝剂的投加方式对颗粒污泥理化性能及生物降解效能的影响。结果表明:微生物絮凝剂每隔2、3、5、7 d投加一次时, 均可培养出成熟的好氧颗粒污泥, 微生物絮凝剂的投加方式对好氧污泥颗粒化的影响较显著;微生物絮凝剂最佳投加方式为每5天投加一次, 此时颗粒化速度快, 颗粒形成时间由未投加的60 d缩短为42 d, 好氧颗粒污泥疏水性好, 污泥体积指数稳定在40 mL/g左右, 沉降速度达35.06 m/h, COD、氨氮和总磷的去除率分别为96.55%、93.29%和87.29%。     

微压流化式复合生物反应器的同步脱氮

通过对曝气系统的调节,微压流化式复合生物反应器（MP-FHBR）内可以实现好氧区和缺氧区共存,利用这一特点和MP-FHBR中同时存在的活性污泥﹑悬浮生物膜复合生物体系,进行了同步脱氮的试验研究。结果表明,MP-FHBR在好氧-缺氧条件下,实现了同步脱氮过程,TN和COD的平均去除率分别达到77.5%和98.3%。降低DO质量浓度使反应器内形成完全缺氧环境,对MP-FHBR同步脱氮效果没有显著影响,但会降低系统去除COD的效果;而提高DO质量浓度使反应器内形成完全好氧环境,MP-FHBR同步脱氮效果显著下降。在一定范围内提高进水COD/TN有利于提高MP-FHBR同步脱氮效果,COD/TN 由2升高到10,TN平均去除率由58.4%提高到78.8%,而继续提高COD/TN对系统同步脱氮效果的影响并不明显。在反应器允许的条件下,提高污泥质量浓度(MLSS)有利于提高系统反硝化脱氮效果,TN去除率随MLSS的增加而提高。     

针铁矿为填料的反硝化生物滤池的启动及运行

随着我国经济的发展和城市化进程的加快,日均产生的各种工业废水和生活污水也在增加。我国目前城市污水处理厂的出水普遍能够达到一级B标准,然而其中的总氮浓度依然是湖泊水体二类标准的10倍甚至更多。污水处理厂出水中的总氮主要是以硝态氮的形式存在,因此,我国的部分天然水体中面临着严重的硝酸盐污染的风险。另一方面,我国北方部分地区长期饮用含有高硝酸盐的地下水,某些地区的地下水中硝酸盐含量高达392 mg·L-1,远超过世界卫生组织规定的10 mg·L-1。鉴于此,为了保障饮水安全,亟需发展反硝化脱氮的污水深度处理技术。反硝化生物滤池(denitrification biofilter,DNBF)是一种由曝气生物滤池(BAF)演化而来用于处理污水中氮素污染的新型工艺,其具有占地小、出水水质好、抗冲击负荷强、快速启动、生物量大、处理效率高等优点。填料是影响DNBF运行及反硝化处理效果的重要因素之一。常规的DNBF填料有火山岩、陶粒、沸石、石英砂等。课题组近几年系统研究了天然针铁矿在有机物厌氧消化及C、N等元素的生物地球化学过程中的作用,前期研究结果表明天然针铁矿可以提高生物反硝化的速率和效率。因此,本文以石英砂为对照,探索DNBF在以天然针铁矿作为填料时的反硝化效果,并具体分析了两个DNBF在启动和稳定运行阶段的性能差异。实验装置采用实验室规模的上流式连续流反应器,有效容积为1.2 L。整个装置的接口处均用硅胶密封。反应器运行的控制参数为:进水p H 7.50±0.15(通过0.1 mol·L-1 HCL调节),C/N为4,水力停留时间(hydraulic retention time,HRT)为4和2 h,当HRT为4 h时反应器氮容积负荷(以N计,下同)保持在0.6 kg·(m3·d)-1。本研究采用人工接种挂膜法,接种污泥采用实验室培养驯化的反硝化污泥。每天采样,分析测定两个反应器启动阶段以及不同HRT运行阶段时的进出水中的化学需氧量(chemical oxygen demand,COD)、NO-3、NO-2等指标。DNBF启动运行阶段HRT设为4 h时,以针铁矿和石英为填料的DNBF分别在第8天时和第15天时进入稳定运行状态,COD的去除率在84%~85%,NO-3的去除率均为99%。实验结果表明DNBF反应器以针铁矿为填料,能够缩短反应器的启动时间。这可能是因为天然针铁矿颗粒表面粗糙,比表面积更大,有利于微生物附着生长,因此反应器的启动时间更短。在DNBF稳定运行阶段,当HRT为4 h时,针铁矿为填料的DNBF对COD和NO-3的去除率约为85.45%±0.65%和99.17%±0.11%,石英砂为填料的反应器对COD和NO-3的去除率约为84.56%±0.79%和99%±0.12%,两种填料的反应器的反硝化效果区别不大;当HRT降为2 h并连续运行10 d后,以针铁矿为填料的DNBF对COD和NO-3的去除率分别为84.98%和99.48%,以石英砂为填料的DNBF对COD和NO--3的去除率分别为74.01%和84.51%,且以石英砂为填料的DNBF中出现了NO2的积累,最大积累量达到0.6 mg/L。实验结果表明,针铁矿为填料的DNBF有更好的抗冲击负荷的能力,且不易产生亚硝酸盐氮的累积。引起上述实验现象的原因之一是由于天然针铁矿中含有铁以及其他的一些微量金属元素,当三价铁被还原为微生物可利用的二价铁时,其他金属元素也随之释放到滤池中用作微生物的营养物质。因此,以针铁矿为填料的DNBF中的生物量较多,反硝化菌活性较高。针铁矿促进反硝化过程的具体机制还有待进一步的深入研究。     

SBR法处理人工配制味精废水的实验研究

采用内径为140 mm,高为250 mm的圆柱形SBR反应器进行试验,探讨SBR工艺对人工模拟配制味精废水的处理效果。通过实验分析了不同曝气时间、温度、进水浓度及污泥浓度与SBR处理效果之间的关系,确定了SBR法处理中浓度味精废水的最佳运行参数。实验结果表明,废水浓度在2 000~4 000 mg/L,温度为25℃时连续曝气6 h,污泥浓度在4 000~7 000 mg/L的条件下对人工味精废水中的COD具有较好的降解能力,COD cr的去除率可达80%。

针对传统水解酸化和好氧氧化处理工艺存在的问题,对水解酸化工艺及好氧氧化处理工艺进行了改进;并针对东北制药集团制药废水水质特征,设计开发了预处理 复合水解酸化 复合好氧氧化的生物处理技术。工程设计规模为30000 m3/d,两年的运行结果表明,此工艺运行稳定,耐冲击负荷能力强。当平均进水浓度COD为3600 mg/L、BOD5为1000 mg/L、SS为450 mg/L时,平均出水浓度COD≤300mg/L、BOD5≤100 mg/L、SS≤50 mg/L,达到了国家城市排水三级标准医药企业污水排放标准(COD300mg/L)。     

SMBR中污染物处理效率随污泥浓度变化的数学模型

以一体式膜生物反应器(SMBR)对生活污水进行处理,研究不同水力停留时间(HRT)条件下污泥浓度对有机物去除率的影响,并对所得试验数据进行曲线拟合,建立有机物去除率与污泥浓度的数学模型。试验结果表明:在溶解氧(DO)浓度为2.0～3.0mg/L的条件下,HRT为3h、2h和1h时,有机物去除率(η)随着污泥浓度的增大而增大,但当污泥浓度增大到6000mg/L时,η增大趋势逐渐减小,并趋于稳定。有机物去除率与污泥浓度的数学模型表明:有机物去除率(η)与水力停留时间(τ)、进水COD浓度(S_o)和污泥负荷率(N_s)等主要运行参数有关,并可以通过调节运行参数τ、S_o和N_s来达到所需要的COD去除率。     

好氧颗粒污泥对有机污染物的吸附机制

为探讨好氧颗粒污泥对有机污染物的吸附机制,采用动态吸附方式研究好氧颗粒污泥对有机污染物的初期吸附作用,采用静态吸附方式考察好氧颗粒污泥失活前后对有机污染物吸附效率的差异,分析了好氧颗粒污泥吸附有机污染物前后的热力学参数及红外光谱变化。结果表明,好氧颗粒污泥对有机污染物的吸附过程表现出了明显的初期吸附去除现象,30min内对有机污染物吸附去除率达60.19%。好氧颗粒污泥吸附有机污染物是一个自发、吸热、熵增的过程,且吸附过程是一个以物理吸附为主、生物吸附和化学吸附为辅的复杂过程。

A granulation model using diosgenin wastewater in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor

An enhanced start-up of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor for diosgenin wastewater treatment was designed and experimentally tested. Gran-ular sludge was formed on day 35 in the reactor with high concentrations of chloride (4000–7000 mg/L) and COD (5000–13000 mg/L) as substrate. A new model for the granulation was proposed which divides the formation of anaerobic granules into six consecutive stages; they include semi-embryonic granule formation, embryonic granule formation, single-nucleus granule formation, multi-nuclei granule formation, granule growth and granule maturation. A model of the granule structure was also proposed based on scanning electron microscope observation. The microspores occurring on the surface and further leading into the interior of the granules were considered as the channels and the passage of the materials and the products of the microorganisms’ metabolism inside the granules.     

Treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater in upflow anaerobic filter under low upflow velocity

The wastewater discharged by poultry slaughterhouse industries are characterized mainly by high biochemical oxygen demand, high suspended solids and complex mixture of fats, proteins and fibers requiring systematic treatment prior to disposal. In this study, the performance of an upflow anaerobic filter reactor for treating Indian poultry slaughterhouse wastewater under low upflow velocity of 1.38 m/day at mesophilic temperature (29-35 °C) was investigated. The reactor was inoculated with anaerobic non-granular sludge from an anaerobic reactor treating the poultry slaughterhouse wastewater. The reactor took 147 days for complete start-up with removal efficiencies of total chemical oxygen demand and soluble chemical oxygen demand of 70 and 79 % respectively. The maximum total chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency of 78 % was achieved at an organic loading rate of 10.05 kg/m³/day and at an hydraulic retention time of 12 h. The average methane content varied between 46 and 56 % and methane yield at maximum removal efficiency was 0.24 m³ CH₄/kg COD_removed·day. Sludge granules of 1–2 mm were observed in between the packing media. Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that sludge granules are composed of clumps of Methanosarcina clustered with less intertwined Methanosaeta fibre of granules. The lower velocity used in this study has achieved better performance of the reactor by creating active microbial formation with stable pH upto an organic loading rate of 14.3 kg/m³/day. This has proved that the poultry slaughterhouse wastewater can be treated using anaerobic filter reactor under low upflow velocity.     

Determination of design criteria for UASB reactors as a wastewater pretreatment system in tropical small communities

A pilot scale study was set up to investigate the principle design parameters of up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors for treating wastewater of small communities in the tropical regions of Iran. A steel pipe with a diameter of 600 mm and a height of 3.6 m was used as the reactor in which a digestion and a 3-phase separator element had a volume of 0.848 and 0.17 m³ respectively. During this study, which lasted for 203 days, two distinct phases were carried out according to the ambient temperature. The temperature of the wastewater entering the reactor was naturally ranged from 22 to 26 °C and no heat exchanger was used. The hydraulic retention times including 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours with various loading rates of 0.95 to 5.70 kg COD/m³/day for colder period and from 1.35 to 6.40 kg COD/m³/day for warmer period were examined. On the basis of the results the optimal hydraulic retention time for warmer period with a 2.20 kg COD/m³/day organic loading rate was 6 hours which BOD5, COD and TSS removal efficiency were 71, 63 and 65 percent respectively. During the colder period the removal ratio of BOD5, COD and TSS with an optimal hydraulic retention time of 8 hours and organic loading rate of 1.22 kg COD/m³/day were 54, 46 and 53 percent respectively.     

Enhanced bioremoval of refractory compounds from dyeing wastewater using optimized sequential anaerobic/aerobic process

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket process followed by the biological aerated filter process was employed to improve the removal of color and recalcitrant compounds from real dyeing wastewater. The highest removal efficiency for color was observed in the anaerobic process, at 8-h hydraulic retention time, seeded with the sludge granule. In the subsequent aerobic process packed with the microbe-immobilized polyethylene glycol media, the removal efficiency for chemical oxygen demand increased significantly to 75 %, regardless of the empty bed contact time. The average influent non-biodegradable soluble chemical oxygen demand was 517 mg/L, and the average concentration in effluent from the anaerobic reactor was 363 mg/L, suggesting the removal of some recalcitrant matters together with the degradable ones. The average non-biodegradable soluble chemical oxygen demand in effluent from the aerobic reactor was 87, 93, and 118 mg/L, with the removal efficiency of 76, 74, and 67 %, at 24-, 12-, and 8-h empty bed contact time, respectively. The combined anaerobic sludge blanket and aerobic cell-entrapped process was effective to remove the refractory compounds from real dyeing wastewater as well as in reducing organic loading to meet the effluent discharge limits. This integrated process is considered an effective and economical treatment technology for dyeing wastewater.     

Microbial community analysis for aerobic granular sludge reactor treating high-level 4-chloroaniline wastewater

A laboratory-scale sequencing airlift bioreactor continuously treating high-level 4-chloroaniline (4-ClA) wastewater was used for studying the effect of 4-ClA on the characteristics and microbial community of aerobic granular sludge. The granulation of aerobic sludge and efficient pollutant removal performance were developed via shortening sludge settling time and gradually increasing influent 4-ClA concentration to around 400 mg L^?1. However, the granular sludge reactor deteriorated with the 4-ClA loading rate above 0.8 kg m^?3 d^?1. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and real-time quantitative PCR were applied to investigate the microbial community succession during the start-up and recovery of bioreactor. The results showed that the performance of granular reactor was significantly influenced by the microbial community of aerobic granule, and stable aerobic granule was dominated with β-Proteobacteria (61.28 %), Flavobacteriales, Planctomycetales, Clostridiales, and Acidobacteria. Since Thauera (21.55 %) related to the genus β-Proteobacteria was abundant in the stable 4-ClA-degrading granular sludge, it was speculated as the main 4-ClA-degrading bacteria. Under high chloroaniline level, the sludge granulation may maintain the stability of the bioreactor via adjusting the composition of microbial community and abundance of functional microorganism. This paper provided useful information for better understanding the change of microbial community characteristics under high-level toxic organic pollutants and process optimizing.     

Enhanced control of activated sludge process using predetermined set-points

The performance of activated sludge process (ASP) is evaluated by the effluent quality which is determined by five different variables of the treated wastewater such as ammonia, total nitrogen, COD, BOD₅ and TSS. To keep these five variables within the limits as per environmental regulations, nitrate and nitrite concentration (S _NO) in the second anoxic reactor and the dissolved oxygen concentration (S _O) in the last aerobic reactor of the ASP should be maintained at prescribed levels. To do that, a closed-loop control configuration is required and proper set-points for these closed-loop control configurations are needed. In this paper, the optimal values of controller set-points are determined for nitrogen removal in the activated sludge process. Effluent quality limits have been considered to evaluate the optimal set-points for the Indian climatic conditions. Once the optimal set-points are determined, PI controllers are used to control S _NO in the second anoxic reactor and S _O in the last aerobic reactor of the ASP. Further, feed-forward control is incorporated to minimize the effect of disturbances, which enters along with the influent. No case studies of BSM1 model have been reported in the literature for the Indian wastewater. In this work, the dynamic simulation of an activated sludge process is performed using the data collected from the sewage treatment plant, located in India. The results of the simulation showed that feed-forward with PI control strategy, ASP can be efficiently controlled without any effluent violations, when compared to BSM1.
