Technical field
The present invention relates to water Treatment and recovery and utilize field, specifically efficiently process containing nitrate nitrogen waste water and realize the recoverable a kind of interactive three Room biological fuel cells of electricity and the method being applied to denitrogenation of waste water thereof simultaneously。
Background technology
The excessive emissions of nitrogen may result in body eutrophication, brings significant damage to the mankind。Since " 12 ", China still adheres to deeply implementing and economizes on resources and protect environment fundamental state policy, develops a circular economy, and " energy-saving and emission-reduction " problem is the focus of research all the time。Therefore, in the face of the pressure of ever-increasing nitrogen in sewage reduction, it would be highly desirable to develop the sewage water denitrification new technique of " energy-saving and emission-reduction "。
Microbiological fuel cell (MFC, also biological fuel cell it is called for short) it is the new and high technology of 21 century water treatment field, it it is a kind of novel saprobia recovery technique, have and remove organic pollution simultaneously and obtain the advantage of energy output, have also been obtained increasing concern in field of waste water treatment in recent years。According to existing achievement in research, MFC will be expected to be applied to actual waste water denitrogenation engineering, become novel denitrogenation of waste water technology energy-conservation, efficient。
In traditional biological denitrification denitrification process, organic carbon source is important restrictive factor。The organic carbon source deficiency and China's municipal sewage plant is generally intake, causes that nitric efficiency is low。If carbon-nitrogen ratio is too high, residual organic substances need to process further;If carbon-nitrogen ratio is low, then denitrification efficiency is low, and has the accumulation of nitrite。
MFC negative electrode denitrification process, owing to introducing the reduction of electrode, a required electronics part can derive from the electronics that organic carbon source produces in microbial metabolism, another part (under biological catalysis) can directly obtain from cathode electrode, therefore MFC available electron donor in actual waste water denitrification process is more extensive, and its denitrification process is non-electrode denitrification and the coefficient result of electrode denitrification。So, use MFC that sewage is carried out denitrification denitrogenation, can effectively reduce carbon-nitrogen ratio, it is possible to the problem that needed for making up sewage denitrification, organic carbon source is not enough。
At present, microbiological fuel cell denitrogenation aspect has been carried out substantial amounts of research by Chinese scholars。Clauwaert etc. confirm that biological-cathode type MFC can be used in denitrification first, achieve the function of denitrogenation simultaneously, de-carbon and electrogenesis, obtain 0.146kg/m every day in MFC3The clearance of nitrate。Virdis etc. by external aerobic nitrification reactor, the A/O technique of tradition denitrogenation and MFC series combination, carry out denitrogenation, de-carbon simultaneously, it may be achieved every day 2kg/m3COD and 0.41kg/m3The clearance of nitrate。Virdis etc. remove additional nitrator subsequently, carry out synchronous biological nitrification and denitrification reaction at cathode chamber, obtain the nitrogen removal efficiency of 94.1%。Xie etc. then construct aerobe negative electrode MFC and Anaerobe negative electrode MFC coupled system, and the clearance of COD, ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen is respectively reached 98.8%, 97.4% and 97.3%。Huang Xia etc. disclose a kind of Biocathode microbial fuel cell, are made up of anode chamber, aerobic cathode chamber and anoxia cathode chamber, carry out denitrogenation while organics removal and electrogenesis。A kind of microbial fuel cell wastewater treatment system improving denitrification effect is disclosed in Changping etc., inoculate nitrifying sludge to cathode chamber and add embedding aerobic denitrifying bacteria granule, make Nitrification and denitrification work in coordination with a reaction zone to play a role, make full use of DO and the residue carbon source of negative electrode, reach denitrogenation and remove COD purpose further。
But, utilize denitrifying microorganism fuel cell to carry out denitrogenation of waste water, prior art still suffers from many difficult points。Wherein, electrode denitrification and non-electrode denitrification competitiveness in cathode chamber system are main contradiction。Existing research shows, in biological denitrification process, nitrate nitrogen carries out denitrification process using preferentially utilizing organic carbon source (rather than electrodic electron) as electron donor。That is, the organic carbon source of higher concentration is inhibited to electrode denitrification。At cathode chamber, when two kinds of electron donors (organic carbon source and cathode electronics) coexist, non-electrode Denitrification is relatively strong, and electrode Denitrification is more weak, by low for the electricity generation ability making battery, and waste organic carbon source;But then, if not adding organic carbon source, only relying on electrode Denitrification, denitrifying speed is very low again, affects nitric efficiency。This contradiction makes the application prospect of denitrifying microorganism fuel cell receive query。

Case study on implementation 1:
Above-mentioned interactive three Room biological fuel cell devices are utilized to carry out testing containing nitrate nitrogen denitrogenation of waste water。
Step one: anode chamber (5) are inoculated anaerobic sludge, anodic dissolution adds NaAc (COD is 1000mg/L) as electron donor, two cathode chambers (1) inoculation anoxic denitrification mud, receive (COD concentration is 200mg/L) and NaNO containing acetic acid in negative electrode water inlet (simulated wastewater)3(NO3N is 70mg/L), it is possible to additionally incorporate the Na of 2g/L2CO3As the inorganic carbon source that the growth of negative electrode denitrifying bacterium is required;
Step 2: alternately enter the both sides cathode chamber (1A of this three Room biological fuel cell catholyte batch-type, 1B), first A side negative electrode (2A) disconnects with anode, and A side cathode chamber (1A) intakes, and carries out utilizing the non-electrode denitrification of organic carbon source;

Step 4: again after 24h, B side cathode chamber (1B) organic carbon source approach exhaustion, interactive controlling on-off control anode connects with B side negative electrode, B side cathode chamber carries out electrode denitrification, and produce electric energy simultaneously, and the cathode chamber draining of A side, and enter new waste water;
Step 5: repeat the above steps two, three and four, two cathode chamber alternately water inlets, draining, alternately it is in " low-carbon-source " state and " high carbon source " state, and coordinate Interactive control switch (13), control anode (6) to be connected with the negative electrode of " low-carbon-source " all the time, make A, two battery alternate runs of B, namely, when A side negative electrode (2A) off state enters " low-carbon-source " state (now still having nitrate nitrogen not to be removed in sewage) after carrying out non-electrode denitrification 24h, switch (11) by Interactive control to be connected with A side negative electrode (2A), carry out water outlet after electrode denitrification further, meanwhile, B side cathode chamber (1B) is then in open-circuit condition, organic carbon source is utilized to carry out non-electrode denitrification。
With A side negative electrode for investigating object (B side is identical), experimental result following (two processes):
(1) the non-electrode denitrification process in A side (now, B lateral electrode denitrification) process: disconnect anode and A side negative electrode, after reacting 24 hours, negative electrode NO3-N35.5mg/L, COD31.2mg/L, this process denitrification rate is 4.11mg/ (L h), and for non-electrode denitrification, now A side battery does not produce electric energy。
(2) A lateral electrode denitrification process (now, the non-electrode denitrification process in B side): connection anode and A side negative electrode, continues reaction 24 hours, negative electrode NO3-N26.0mg/L, COD28.2mg/L, this process denitrification rate is 0.56mg/ (L h), is mainly electrode denitrification (COD consumes relatively low, and non-electrode denitrification is less)。Now, A battery produces electric energy, average voltage 246mV in 24h, average output power 27.0mW/cm2。
Total process: comprehensive denitrification rate 2.62mg/ (L h) of the total process of A battery, the consumed organic carbon source COD/NO of denitrification3 -Ratio is 3.9, produces electric energy 6.54W, the overall total process electrogenesis energy 13.08W of this device。
Case study on implementation 2:
Using traditional dual chamber denitrification biological fuel cell, other experiment conditions are with embodiment 1, but yin, yang electrode connects all the time, as the comparison with case 1。After reaction 48h, negative electrode water outlet NO3-N28.7mg/L, now COD22.4mg/L, now, average voltage 203.1mV in 48h, average output power 18.4mW/cm2。Comprehensive denitrification rate 2.46mg/ (L h), the consumed organic carbon source COD/NO of denitrification3 -Ratio is 4.3, produces electric energy 4.46W。The property indices such as organic carbon source consumption are below apparatus of the present invention (case 1), and the process water yield also reduces half。
Case study on implementation 3:
Other operating condition, with embodiment 1, does not use Interactive control to switch for this three Room battery so that two batteries simultaneously switch off and Guan Bi, compare with embodiment 1。Divide two processes:
(1) A, B side carries out non-electrode denitrification process simultaneously: disconnect anode and two negative electrodes, after reacting 24 hours, and negative electrode NO3-N35.5mg/L, COD31.2mg/L, this process denitrification rate is 4.11mg/ (L h) (result is with process 1 in case study on implementation 1), now A, B battery all not electrogenesis energy。
(2) A, B side carries out electrode denitrification process simultaneously: connection anode and two negative electrodes, after continuing reaction 24 hours, and single-sided cathodes NO3-N32.9mg/L, COD30.4mg/L, this process denitrification rate is 0.15mg/ (L h), now unilateral battery (on average) electrogenesis energy 2.86W, altogether 5.72W。
Connect two negative electrodes due to Sole anode simultaneously, electric current density dispersion (and unstable) causes that two lateral electrode denitrification rates all reduce, the i.e. method of operation of three Room battery Simultaneous Switchings, from the denitrifying speed of electrode and electricity generation ability, all not as the method for operation of Interactive control on-off control。
Case study on implementation 4:
Other operating condition is with embodiment 1, and the change alternate run time is 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h etc., compares the impact of alt time。
In experiment, when negative electrode COD is lower than 30mg/L, non-electrode denitrification rate is substantially reduced, about to 0.08mg/ (L h), even below electrode denitrification rate 0.1-0.6mg/ (L h)。And (COD concentration is about 200mg/L) and NaNO receive for water inlet acetic acid3(NO3-N is about 70mg/L), in this experiment condition, when process I reacts 24h, just COD is down to about 30mg/L。Non-electrode denitrification overlong time, causes that as 36h, COD are too low non-electrode denitrification rate is very low;Time is too short, and remaining a large amount of organic carbon source affects speed and the production capacity of electrode denitrification process。Therefore, for this flow condition, time optimal control point is 24h。
If the condition such as influent COD, nitrate nitrogen changes, then can pass through adjusting reaction time, find the interaction time control point of optimum to be optimized operation。
