Background
The nitrifying bacteria mainly play a role in removing nitrogen-containing pollutants and comprise ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria. Wherein the ammonia oxidizing bacteria are responsible for oxidizing ammonia to nitrous acidSalt, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria are responsible for the further oxidation of nitrite to nitrate. Nitrifying bacteria belong to aerobic autotrophic microorganisms, and under the condition of sufficient nutrient supply, energy is obtained from the process of oxidizing ammonia and nitrite so as to assimilate CO2However, the nitrifying bacteria grow, so that the generation time of the nitrifying bacteria is long, the proliferation speed is slow, the industrial large-scale application is difficult, and in recent years, a large amount of research work is carried out on how to realize rapid culture of the nitrifying bacteria, and certain progress is achieved. Nitrifying bacteria are fragile and are easily influenced by various factors such as substrate concentration, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentration, pH, toxic substances and the like in the growth and application processes, particularly, some sewage treatment fields are excessively aerated in the final stage of reaction due to low operation load, the dissolved oxygen concentration is more than 5mg/L, on one hand, the nitrifying bacteria cannot tolerate the high-concentration dissolved oxygen environment, on the other hand, the excessively aerated dispersed zoogloea nitrifying bacteria are seriously lost along with water, and therefore, in order to improve the nitrification effect, although a method for adding a high-efficiency nitrifying bacteria agent is adopted in some sewage treatment fields, the nitrifying bacteria have poor resistance in the actual application process and DO not achieve the expected treatment effect.
The prior art adopts a batch feeding mode and a batch fed-batch mode, and can control the concentration of a substrate within a certain range, but cannot realize automatic control.
CN201611066275.0 provides an intermittent, ammonia nitrogen fed-batch operation alternate nitrobacteria flora screening and enrichment culture method, which mainly utilizes intermittent operation to gradually increase initial ammonia nitrogen load so as to increase ammonia nitrogen oxidation rate, and ammonia nitrogen fed-batch operation to maintain ammonia nitrogen oxidation rate and realize low nitrite accumulation rate. The method can realize the screening and enrichment culture of nitrobacteria flora in a short time, but the control process is relatively complex, and the automatic feeding culture can not be realized.
Therefore, how to realize efficient automatic control of batch culture of nitrobacteria is an important problem to be solved at present, and aiming at high-concentration dissolved oxygen environments such as sewage treatment plants operating under low load, a nitrobacteria capable of meeting the application of the specific application is also needed, and common nitrobacteria are difficult to adapt to the specific application.
