Description

Method for testing mechanical strength of aerobic granular sludge
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method for testing the mechanical strength of aerobic granular sludge.
Background
The aerobic granular sludge (Aerobic Granular Sludge, AGS) is a granular activated sludge formed by self-agglomeration of microorganisms under aerobic conditions. Compared with the traditional activated sludge process, the AGS technology has the characteristics of high biomass accumulation, good sedimentation performance, pollution load impact resistance, small occupied area and the like.
Heretofore, aerobic granular sludge bioreactors include Membrane Bioreactors (MBR), sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR), and the like. However, the success of these bioreactor designs is related to their ability to form dense particles and maintain high biomass. The close cell packing in the particle aggregates optimizes the interplanar exchange of metabolites, thereby increasing overall activity.
However, from the reactor operating conditions, too high/low Organic Loading (OLR) and too high hydrodynamic conditions negatively affect the particles, possibly leading to cracking and dispersion, a significant reduction of biomass, and eventually a deterioration or even failure of the system. From the operation time, AGS is easily disintegrated after long-term operation. Therefore, maintaining the stability of AGS is critical for the stable operation of the reactor, while its mechanical properties are important indicators for characterizing its stability. In general, the mechanical properties of AGS are divided into compression and shear properties. The existing compressive property testing method is a measuring device and a measuring method for the elastic modulus of granular sludge, which are disclosed in Chinese patent CN 104062224A. The method for testing the shearing resistance comprises an integrity coefficient method (a vibrating screen is adopted and is judged by measuring the ratio of the solid mass in supernatant to the total weight of aerobic granular sludge), a instability coefficient method (an ultrasonic instrument is adopted, samples collected at equal intervals are subjected to absorbance value test at the wavelength of 600nm, and the slope of a fitted curve is the instability coefficient) and the like. Therefore, the existing test method has the advantage of rapid measurement, but the collected sample needs to be poured back in time in the test to prevent the volume change from influencing the experimental result, so that the establishment of a method for simultaneously satisfying the simple and accurate measurement of the mechanical strength is particularly important.

Wherein S is the area of a region surrounded by the particle size distribution and the x axis, namely the peak area; t is the duration of action of the particle size distribution test.
