Description

Open culture device and method for treating phosphorus-containing wastewater

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment, in particular to an open culture device and a method for treating phosphorus-containing wastewater.

Background

The rapid development of human society greatly increases the demand for water resources. And the acceleration of the industrialization process brings about serious water pollution while improving the life quality of people. The water pollutants are various, and the phosphorus-containing wastewater poses serious threats to human health and ecological environment. In all parts of the world, serious ecological disasters are caused by eutrophication, water aging and other phenomena caused by overhigh phosphorus content in environmental water, and the recovery of the water environment is extremely difficult and lengthy. Therefore, the treatment of wastewater containing phosphate ions is always a hotspot in the field of water treatment, and is also a difficult point and a key point.

Phosphoric acid contained in industrial wastewater is mostly present in the form of orthophosphate. The commonly used method for removing phosphorus from wastewater at present comprises a chemical method and a biological method. The chemical dephosphorization is to add a dephosphorization agent which takes inorganic salts such as aluminum salt, calcium salt or ferric salt as main materials into the wastewater and form a precipitate with phosphate radical under the alkaline condition, thereby realizing the dephosphorization of the wastewater. The biological method utilizes phosphorus-accumulating bacteria (mainly belonging to the genus Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, or the like) to absorb phosphorus under aerobic conditions to become a part of bacterial biomass, and fixes the phosphorus in the wastewater in the sludge. Chemical methods require the addition of a large amount of chemicals and simultaneously produce a large amount of phosphorus-containing sludge, which may cause secondary pollution. The biological method needs to design a proper aerobic-anaerobic treatment process, and has certain difficulty in accurately regulating and controlling the absorption and release of the microorganisms to phosphorus. Phosphorus-accumulating bacteria have limited phosphorus absorption capacity, and the phosphorus-containing wastewater with higher concentration may need to be combined with a chemical method, so that the technical complexity is increased. The biological method also needs to carry out harmless treatment on the generated phosphorus-containing activated sludge, improves the wastewater treatment cost and cannot realize resource utilization of phosphorus. As can be seen, there is still a lack of technology for efficiently and cost-effectively treating wastewater containing phosphate ions at a relatively high concentration.

In the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "vertical", and the like are used in the corresponding directions in the drawings.

An open type culture apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, comprises a culture tank 1 for containing a culture solution, and a light guide member and a ventilation member 3 provided in the culture tank 1; the light guide component comprises more than one light guide plate 2, the top end of the light guide plate 2 is arranged above the liquid level of the culture solution, the bottom end of the light guide plate 2 is arranged below the liquid level of the culture solution, and the light guide plate 2 is used for guiding light irradiated on the top of the light guide plate to be below the liquid level of the culture solution.

According to the present invention, the structure and arrangement of the light guide plate 2 are not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of further facilitating the introduction of external light into the culture solution, it is preferable that the light guide plate 2 includes an upper light absorbing portion 201 and a lower light scattering portion 202. The light absorbing part 201 and the light scattering part 202 are integrally formed, at least part of the light absorbing part 201 is positioned above the liquid level so as to absorb light during use, and at least part of the light scattering part 202 is positioned below the liquid level so as to scatter the light absorbed by the light absorbing part 201, so that a good light guide effect is realized. The light guide plate 2 is preferably a plate-shaped structure. From the viewpoint of facilitating absorption and scattering of light, it is preferable that, as shown in fig. 2, the upper side of the cross section of the light absorbing portion 201 is longer than the lower side, and may be, for example, an inverted trapezoid, and the cross section of the light scattering portion 202 is rectangular.

Further, it is preferable that the light guide plates 2 are vertically arranged in the culture well 1, and the number of the light guide plates 2 is preferably 2 to 5/m at an interval of 10 to 50 cm.

According to the present invention, the material of the light guide plate 2 is not particularly limited, and the material constituting the light guide plate 2 is preferably a solid transparent material, and may be one or more of glass, surface-treated glass, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, and a composite organic material, for example.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the scattering efficiency of the light scattering portion 202, it is preferable that the light absorbing portion 201 is a transparent substrate, and the light scattering portion 202 reduces its light transmittance by a substrate doping process and/or a laser etching process, thereby uniformly scattering incident light in a range of a certain angle from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction.

Further, the light transmittance of the light guide plate 2 may be uniform or non-uniform, and the light guide plate 2 having non-uniform light transmittance can achieve the effect of adjusting the light intensity at different depths of the culture solution. The light transmittance of the light guide plate 2 at different positions can be adjusted by adjusting the doping level and/or the laser etching level, for example, a material with a higher doping level or a higher laser etching level has a low light transmittance, and more light is scattered in the horizontal direction, so that the light irradiation intensity on the surface is higher. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light scattering portion 202 is subjected to a base material doping treatment and/or a laser etching treatment to reduce its light transmittance; more preferably, the light transmittance of the lower portion of the light scattering portion 202 is higher than that of the upper portion, and even more preferably, the light transmittance of the light scattering portion 202 is higher as it approaches the lower portion.

The microalgae cells undergo photosynthesis during the autotrophic growth process, and assimilate carbon dioxide into organic matter as part of the biomass accumulated by the microalgae. Therefore, it is necessary to supply a carbon source to the microalgae cells by contacting with a carbon dioxide-containing gas by means of stirring, aeration, flow, or the like. In the apparatus of the present invention, the aeration means 3 is used to supply gas such as carbon dioxide required for the growth of microalgae. The mode of installation of the ventilation member 3 is not particularly limited, and the ventilation member 3 is preferably a bagComprises a ventilating pipe and more than one aeration pipe 301, wherein aeration holes 302 are distributed on the aeration pipe 301 according to certain intervals. The aeration pipe is used for introducing gas into the aeration pipe 301, and the aeration holes 302 are used for discharging the introduced gas. The number of the aeration tubes 301 is preferably the same as the number of the light guide plates. The gas introduced into the ventilation part 3 may be one or more selected from air, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and is preferably air or carbon dioxide; the ventilation amount of the ventilation member 3 can be appropriately adjusted as needed, and is 1m in relation to 1m³The aeration rate of the culture medium may be, for example, 0.02 to 2m³Min, preferably 0.5-2m³And/min. From the viewpoint of increasing the concentration of gas such as carbon dioxide at various places in the culture solution, it is preferable that the aeration tubes 301 are provided near the bottom of the culture tank 1 and are uniformly distributed.

In addition, a stirring member may be further provided inside the culture pond 1, the stirring member is used to promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients in the culture solution by the microalgae, prevent the inhibition effect of the accumulation of oxygen around the microalgae on the photosynthesis of the microalgae, and prevent cell death and anaerobic decomposition due to the sinking of the microalgae, and the stirring member may be a stirring paddle or the like. In contrast, the present inventors have found that aeration into the wastewater treatment system through the aeration holes 302 provides carbon dioxide required for wastewater treatment to the microalgae, and that the culture solution is stirred by the mutual movement of the bubbles and the liquid to prevent the algal bodies from sinking, i.e., the aeration member has the effect of the stirring member. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aeration tube 301 is disposed below (more preferably, at a lower midpoint position) the light guide plate 2, and more preferably, the aeration hole 302 is disposed toward the light guide plate 2. That is, it is preferable that the position and length of the aeration tube 301 are selected in accordance with the position and size of the light guide plate 2. By arranging the aeration pipe 301 as above, not only can the carbon dioxide concentration of the part with higher illumination intensity around the light guide component be increased so as to promote the growth of microalgae, but also the introduced phosphorus-containing wastewater can be fully mixed with other additional components, so that the microalgae can be prevented from flocculating and settling, and meanwhile, the gas introduced from the aeration holes 302 is used for purging the light guide component, so that the aims of preventing the microalgae from being gathered on the light guide component to shield light, reducing the oxygen concentration around the microalgae and reducing the operation and cleaning cost of the treatment device are fulfilled. Therefore, in the open culture apparatus of the present invention preferably provided with the aeration member 3 as appropriate, a good wastewater treatment effect can be obtained similarly without providing the stirring member.

The method for treating the phosphorus-containing wastewater comprises the following steps: introducing microalgae and a culture solution containing the phosphorus-containing wastewater into an open culture device, and culturing the microalgae by using the culture solution, wherein the phosphorus-containing wastewater contains one or more of phosphoric acid molecules, hydrogen phosphate ions, dihydrogen phosphate ions and phosphate ions; as shown in fig. 1-2, the open type culture apparatus includes a culture tank 1 for containing the culture solution, and a light guide member and a ventilation member 3 provided in the culture tank; the light guide component comprises more than one light guide plate 2, the top end of the light guide plate 2 is arranged above the liquid level of the culture solution, the bottom end of the light guide plate 2 is arranged below the liquid level of the culture solution, and the light guide plate 2 is used for guiding light irradiated on the top of the light guide plate to be below the liquid level of the culture solution.

According to the invention, the open type culture device is used for providing conditions in the process of microalgae culture so as to achieve the purpose of treating phosphorus-containing wastewater, and the structure of the open type culture device can be used for completing the efficient culture of microalgae. In the open culture apparatus, the culture tank 1 is an open culture tank, and may be a columnar structure having no top wall.

In the open type culture device, the light guide component is used for guiding sunlight incident above the open type culture device into the culture solution, so that microalgae at a position where sunlight cannot transmit in a deeper part of the culture solution can be fully illuminated, and the culture efficiency is improved; the ventilation component 3 is used for providing gases such as carbon dioxide and the like required by the growth of the microalgae and promoting the growth of the microalgae. By providing appropriate conditions, the microalgae cells utilize a plurality of photosensitive pigments which are contained in the microalgae cells and can absorb photons with specific wavelength ranges to convert light energy into chemical energy, and the chemical energy is provided for the microalgae cells for substance assimilation, thereby achieving the purpose of wastewater treatment.

The open culture apparatus of the first aspect of the present invention can be used as an open culture apparatus in the treatment method of the second aspect. The structure of the open culture device is the same as that of the open culture device of the first aspect of the present invention, and is not described herein again.

In the present invention, the phosphorus-containing wastewater contains one or more of phosphoric acid molecules, hydrogen phosphate ions, dihydrogen phosphate ions, and the form of phosphorus present in the wastewater varies depending on the pH. The wastewater containing the above-mentioned phosphoric acid molecule, hydrogen phosphate ion, dihydrogen phosphate ion and/or phosphate ion can be treated by the method of the present invention, specifically, various industrially discharged phosphorus-containing wastewater, and the method of the present invention is particularly advantageous for treating wastewater having a high phosphorus content. By utilizing the method, the phosphorus-containing wastewater can provide a phosphorus source required by the growth of microalgae, so that phosphate ions in the phosphorus-containing wastewater can be consumed through the culture of the microalgae, and the aim of wastewater treatment is fulfilled.

The phosphorus-containing wastewater preferably contains not less than 10mg/L, more preferably not less than 50mg/L, for example, 50 to 50000mg/L of total phosphorus element in terms of phosphorus element. And, preferably, wherein the proportion of phosphorus element present in the form of phosphoric acid molecule, hydrogen phosphate ion, dihydrogen phosphate ion and/or phosphate ion to the total phosphorus element is not less than 1%, more preferably not less than 5%. The total phosphorus content (TP) and phosphate ion determination method refers to a continuous flow-ammonium molybdate spectrophotometry for determining HJ 670-. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the phosphorus-containing wastewater is introduced as PO into the culture broth₄ ^3-The content of phosphate ion is 5-1000mg/L, preferably 50-1000mg/L, more preferably 200-1000mg/L, and still more preferably 200-500 mg/L. When the concentration of the phosphate ions is higher than that required by microalgae culture, water can be properly added for dilution.

In order to meet the requirement of microalgae culture, the culture solution also contains other nutrient components for providing microalgae growth. The other nutrient components comprise a carbon source, a nitrogen source, an iron source, a magnesium source, trace elements and the like. Specific compositions of the other nutrients can be selected according to the selected microalgae, and for example, the other nutrients can be selected with reference to at least one of BG-11 medium, SE medium, Pr medium, f/2 medium, and Zarrouk medium (preferably Zarrouk medium).

According to the present invention, in order to provide conditions for microalgae growth, the pH of the culture solution is preferably 8.0-11.0, preferably 8.5-10.5. By adjusting the pH value of the culture solution to the above range, phosphorus in the culture solution can exist in the form of phosphate ions which can be utilized by microalgae. When the pH of the culture solution is not within the above range, the pH of the culture solution can be adjusted by adding a pH adjusting agent, preferably nitric acid, sodium bicarbonate and CO₂One or more of (a).

In certain processing devices, there is an upper limit to the cell density at which microalgae can grow, and as this upper limit is approached, the rate of uptake of foreign matter by the microalgae decreases significantly. In order to maintain the processing efficiency of the processing apparatus at a high level, the method of the present invention may further comprise: at least part of the culture solution is taken out and supplemented with the phosphorus-containing wastewater. Preferably the OD of the microalgae in the culture solution₅₆₀When the concentration is 1.5 or more, at least a part of the culture medium is removed. The culture solution may be continuously or intermittently withdrawn in a specific manner, and it is more preferable that the culture solution withdrawn continuously or intermittently is 5 to 80% by weight, preferably 30 to 70% by weight, based on the total amount of the culture solution. The microalgae can be separated from the culture broth taken out, for example, by filtration treatment; the filtering treatment mode is one-stage filtering treatment or more than two-stage series filtering treatment.

In addition, the inventor of the present invention found in the research process that microalgae secrete a plurality of bioactive substances to the surrounding environment during the growth process, and when the concentration of the bioactive substances is accumulated to a certain level, the growth of the microalgae may be inhibited, so that the phosphoric acid removal efficiency of the device is affected. Therefore, when separating microalgae from the culture medium taken out, it is preferable to remove these active substances together to prevent the reuse of the filtered clear solution from affecting the growth of microalgae in the treatment system. Specifically, the inventors of the present invention found that, when the culture solution is filtered by using an ultrafiltration apparatus having a cut-off molecular weight of 100kDa or less, the resulting filtered clear solution does not contain substances that inhibit the growth of microalgae, and the reuse of the filtered clear solution does not adversely affect the growth efficiency of microalgae and the removal efficiency of phosphoric acid. Thus, the filtration treatment according to the invention comprises at least an ultrafiltration with a primary molecular weight cut-off of < 100 kDa. Through the ultrafiltration, the clear liquid obtained by the filtration treatment does not contain microalgae cells and molecules with molecular weight of more than 100 kDa. Particularly, the invention preferably adopts two-stage series filtration by comprehensively considering the factors of filtration efficiency, energy consumption, equipment maintenance cost and the like, wherein the two-stage series filtration comprises ultrafiltration with the primary cut-off molecular weight less than or equal to 100 kDa.

In addition, microalgae absorb phosphorus from the culture medium and are fixed as part of their own biomass by assimilation. Therefore, the efficiency of microalgae to scavenge phosphorus from wastewater depends to a large extent on the rate of microalgae biomass accumulation. The microalgae biomass in the treatment system is maintained at a higher level, which is beneficial to improving the accumulation rate of the microalgae biomass, thereby improving the treatment capacity of the treatment device. On the other hand, when the microalgae biomass reaches a higher level, the accumulation rate of the microalgae biomass may decrease due to the limitation of environmental conditions. Therefore, the microalgae biomass in the treatment system is not suitable to be too high. Combining the above two factors, and combining the control conditions of the wastewater treatment process, the inventors of the present invention found in the research process that the cell density (OD at optical density of 560nm) of the microalgae in the treatment device was properly controlled₅₆₀Measured) is advantageous in maintaining a high treatment efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant. For spirulina, it is preferable to control the OD of microalgae in the culture solution₅₆₀Is 0.5-1.5, particularly, OD₅₆₀The highest phosphoric acid treatment ability can be achieved by controlling the concentration to be in the range of 0.8 to 1.2. The cell density of the microalgae can be adjusted by adjusting the adding amount of the phosphorus-containing wastewater, the amount of the returned clear liquid, the added water amount and the like. The clear liquid obtained after separating the microalgae can be returned to the treatment device, so that the cell density of the microalgae in the culture solution is far away from the upper limit, and the treatment efficiency of the treatment device is prevented from being reduced.

Separating the microalgae from the culture solution in order to further process the phosphorus in the culture solution after separating the microalgae, and returning the obtained clear solution to the open type culture device; more preferably, when returning said clear liquid, controllingOD of microalgae in culture solution₅₆₀Is 0.5-1.5. By taking out a part of the culture solution and separating the microalgae therein, the downstream high-value application can be provided.

In addition, because the culture pond 1 is an open culture pond, the culture solution is continuously evaporated in the whole treatment process, and the phosphorus-containing wastewater can be properly supplemented in the culture solution according to the requirement, thereby achieving the effect of continuously treating the wastewater. Also, the OD of microalgae in the culture solution is controlled by using the method of the present invention₅₆₀The microalgae can continuously maintain higher activity, and the algae species do not need to be supplemented in the whole treatment process.

In the present invention, the microalgae used may be various microalgae capable of using phosphate ions in wastewater as a phosphorus source, including eukaryotic algae and/or prokaryotic algae, preferably, the microalgae is Chlorella (e.g., Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella ellipsoidea, or Chlorella pyrenoidosa), monoraphe (e.g., monochoria tenella (monoraphywski)), scenedesmus (e.g., scenedesmus obliquus), scenedesmus (e.g., scenedesmus acuminata), scenedesmus (s.acutus), scenedesmus curvatus, scenedesmus turbinatus, or scenedesmus tetrandra (s.quartileatus), or Spirulina (e.g., Spirulina platensis (Spirulina), preferably Spirulina maxima), among which Spirulina is preferably Spirulina.

The present invention will be described in detail below by way of examples. In the following examples, the phosphorus-containing wastewater had the following composition: NO₃ ^-4.24g/L、SO₄ ^2-1.5mg/L、PO₄ ^3-1336mg/L、Na⁺2274mg/L、Ca²⁺115mg/L, toluene 0.01mg/L and caprolactam 1mg/L, and is from caprolactam production process.

Measurement of absorbance (OD value) of culture solution: measuring with spectrophotometer with distilled water as reference, and measuring absorbance of the culture solution at maximum absorption peak wavelength (560nm) as microalgae concentration index.

The method for measuring the phosphate ions refers to a continuous flow-ammonium molybdate spectrophotometry method for measuring the phosphate and the total phosphorus in the HJ 670-2013 water.
