Description

Method for simultaneously removing nitrogen andphosphorus in wastewater
Background
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for removing nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater simultaneously, which comprises the following steps:
1) the facultative aerobionts fully growing in organic matters in the chemolithoautotrophic denitrification microorganisms are completely utilized to supply a small amount (1/3-1/2 of the required amount of heterotrophic denitrification) of external carbon sources to simultaneously carry out facultative aerobiont, heterotrophic and obligate aerobiont denitrification;
2) shells or steel slag are used together with sulfur particles, wherein (1) the sulfur particles are used as an electron donor and a solid medium on which a sulfur denitrifying agent can grow, and (2) as a solid medium, the shells play a role of maintaining the pH at 7-8 by supplementing alkalinity when the pH is further lowered by hydrogen ions generated by sulfur denitrification, while maintaining the activity of denitrifying microorganisms and providing an inorganic carbon source (CO) for chemolithoautotrophic organisms2) (ii) a And
3) calcium ion (Ca) in water generated from shell or steel slag2+) Phosphorus is simultaneously removed by precipitation in the presence of oxygen.
Biological denitrification has been successfully used to remove nitrogen from wastewater. Typically, an autotrophic or heterotrophic denitrification system is used. By providing a sufficient amount of organic carbon, heterotrophic denitrification can be very effective in removing nitrate, which can be divided into two processes depending on the location of the anoxic tank: denitrogenation and post-denitrogenation. Denitrification is a cost-effective method of utilizing organic matter in wastewater without adding an external carbon source when organic carbon in wastewater is sufficient relative to nitrogen, and has a structure consisting of an anaerobic tank, an anoxic tank after an oxidation tank (aerobic tank), and a precipitation tank in this order. The denitrification reaction and the organic decomposition are mainly carried by the anaerobic tank, and the organic decomposition and the nitration are also carried out in the oxidation tank. And the nitrified wastewater in the oxidation tank is returned to the anoxic tank for denitrification.
According to the post-heterotrophic denitrification process, it is difficult to accurately control the addition of the expensive external carbon source sufficient to completely remove the nitrate (electron acceptor) and the external carbon source (electron donor); in addition, there is a need to establish a means to monitor nitrogen and another automated system to accurately add an external carbon source sufficient to remove nitrate and external organic carbon. If the external carbon source added exceeds the required amount for the heterotrophic process, the external carbon source present in the effluent is treated again.
Heterotrophic denitrification is a reaction performed by heterotrophic microorganisms that use organic matter as an electron donor to reduce nitrogen, in the form of nitrate or nitrite, to nitrogen gas under anaerobic conditions. However, since various industrial wastewaters generated from nitrogen/phosphate fertilizer production, multi-layer wood production, insecticide production and leather production and seepage water in land fills have low organic carbon concentrations as compared with nitrogen, denitrification after heterotrophic culture requires the use of some very expensive organic matter such as methanol or acetic acid to reduce nitrates. In the case of treating a large amount of wastewater, the required organic matter treatment cost is high.
For this reason, many studies have been made on the inorganic autotrophic nitrogen removal method using the chemo-energy of sulfur. Although there is a remarkable denitrification efficiency in terms of economy and stabilization of the treatment process, it has been recognized that the disadvantage of this method is that hydrogen ions generated during denitrification destroy alkalinity to cause a decrease in pH. Reduction of 1mg of nitrogen to 5mg of calcium carbonate (CaCO) during denitrification of chemolithoautotrophic organisms3). The optimum pH for most denitrifiers is reported to be between 7 and 8. In this regard, it is important to provide alkalinity to maintain the pH in the neutral range (7-8). Conventional methods have disclosed that limestone can be used in the tank to provide alkalinity along with the sulfur. However, in the case of wastewater having a high nitrogen concentration such as permeate water, plant wastewater and livestock wastewater, since CaCO3The dissolution rate is limited and limestone alone does not provide sufficient alkalinity.
The use of sulfur autotrophic treatment of high concentrations of nitrates results in the production of high concentrations of sulfate by-products. The official regulations on discharged water in korea so far have not controlled sulfate ions, but they are defined as an examination substance in a drinking water test method. The korean drinking water quality test method stipulates that the sulfate ion content does not exceed 200ppm, and WHO has defined it as 400 ppm. High concentrations of sulfate ions in drinking water are reported to produce sweetness, but very high concentrations are likely to corrode pipes.
Since a sufficient amount of sulfate ions (on average 2700mg/L) is present in natural water such as seawater, the amount of sulfate ions in the effluent waste produced by the system can be disregarded unless wastewater with an extremely high nitrate concentration is treated. If a high concentration of sulfate ions is discharged into the polluted river water during the treatment of a high concentration of nitrate type nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide (H) may be caused2S) to generate odor. Therefore, formation of sulfate ions is preferably prevented. In addition, the microorganisms are inorganically autotrophic denitrogenated due to chemical energyThe growth rate (Y) is small, and it is difficult to start adapting to the environment, and the time required is long. In addition, since the surface of the sulfur particles is composed of hard, non-porous spheres, the small binding sites for the microorganisms may cause a decrease in the initial denitrification efficiency unless a large amount of autotrophic microorganisms is added to the reactor.
At present, the content of nitrogen and phosphorus is strictly regulated by the wastewater discharge quality standard. Since the Korean government planned to set the T-N and T-P contents in the wastewater treatment facilities to 20mg/L and 2mg/L, respectively, from 2002, it was said that proper treatment of nitrogen and phosphorus was inevitable.
In general, useful biological methods for the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus include A2The modified Bardenpho method, the UCT (university of Cape Town) method and the VIP (Virginia Initiative plant) method. However, since the above method relies entirely on heterotrophic denitrifying microorganisms, its practical application has not been widely used for wastewater having a low C/N ratio. In the conventional wastewater treatment method only for dephosphorization, chemical precipitation is mainly used, but the chemical cost is high and a lot of dirt is generated.
Summary of The Invention
To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages such as destruction of alkalinity, sulfate radicals (SO)4 2-) The formation and operation of (A) is started with difficulty in adaptation of the microorganism to the environment, and the present inventors have conducted intensive studies. KR2000-60398, which was filed by the present inventors, discloses an inorganic autotrophic nitrogen removal method using energy of sulfur, which is superior to the heterotrophic nitrogen removal method, and which can achieve a more stable treatment efficiency against temporary impact load with economic advantage without the need for an external carbon source.
The invention relates to an improved method for KR2000-60398, which aims to change the traditional sulfur-containing denitrification tank. More specifically, the object of the present invention is to simultaneously conduct facultative photoautotrophic, heterotrophic and obligatory photoautotrophic denitrification by supplying a small amount (required amount for heterotrophic denitrification 1/3-1/2) of an external carbon source while supplementing some alkalinity with seashells or steel slag and generating calcium ions (Ca) in the water produced by the seashells or steel slag2+) Dephosphorization is carried out simultaneously by chemical precipitation in the presence of phosphorus. Thus, the present invention has been completed.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a denitrification method for simultaneously performing facultative photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, and obligatory photoautotrophic denitrification by supplying a small amount (required amount for heterotrophic denitrification 1/3-1/2) of an external carbon source.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for supplementing insufficient alkalinity in the denitrification process of sulfur by adding shells or steel slag and simultaneously dephosphorizing.

Detailed Description
The invention features a method for the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater, wherein the wastewater treatment is such that: sulfur particles and a small amount (required amount for heterotrophic denitrification, 1/3-1/2) of an external carbon source are added to a sulfur-containing denitrification tank to simultaneously perform obligatory inorganic autotrophic denitrification, facultative inorganic autotrophic denitrification and heterotrophic denitrification, and the loss of alkalinity and dephosphorization are supplemented by simultaneously adding shells or steel slag.
The present invention is explained in more detail below.
The invention relates to a post-denitrification process, wherein an anoxic tank is positioned behind a nitrification tank. Sulfur can be used as an electron donor and carrier in sulfur-containing denitrification tanks. And adding a certain proportion of shells or steel slag as an alkali source into the tank. In addition, facultative photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, and obligatory photoautotrophic denitrification is performed simultaneously by supplying a small amount (required for heterotrophic denitrification 1/3-1/2) of an external carbon source to the inlet stream.
With regard to microbiology, bacteria capable of oxidizing and reducing sulfur compounds such as sulfides, sulfur or thiosulfates can be physiologically classified into four groups: obligate inorganic autotrophic bacteria, facultative inorganic autotrophic bacteria, chemoenergetic inorganic heterotrophic bacteria, and heterotrophic bacteria. Obligate inorganic autotrophic bacteria capable of denitrification, such as Thiobacillus densificans and Thiomicrospira densificans, are practically limited to autotrophic growth modes, since they do not obtain energy from the oxidation of organic compounds and only have limited use of organic compounds. In contrast, facultative aerobically autotrophic anammox bacteria such as Thiobacillus versutus, Thiobacillus thyasiris, Thiosphaerapantopha and Paracoccus denitificans can grow heterotrophically, not only using reduced sulfur compounds as an energy source, but also. Thus, it is clear that these bacteria can adapt to different environments (i.e., autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrophic conditions).

As shown in the following reaction formula 1, various sulfur compounds (S) are produced by using sulfur-producing inorganic autotrophic microorganisms2-、S、S2O3 2-、S4O6 2-、SO3 2-) By oxidation toSulphate (SO)4 2-) While converting nitrogen in the form of nitrate to nitrogen. Reaction scheme 1
Thus, sulfur can be used as an electron donor and carrier in a sulfur-containing denitrification tank.
In addition, heterotrophic denitrification microorganisms, and facultative inorganic autotrophic microorganisms, may undergo some partial denitrification in the reactor due to the addition of small amounts of external organic matter to the inlet stream.
As shown in equation 1, sulfur is oxidized to sulfate by the reaction between sulfur and nitrogen in the inlet stream while nitrogen is reduced to nitrogen for discharge. However, in the case where the above reaction generates hydrogen ions, the supplementation of alkalinity is very important for the pH condition (pH7-8) to provide denitrification.
For this, shells are added to the tank to neutralize hydrogen ions as shown in the following reaction formula 2.
Reaction formula 2
Calcium ion (Ca) produced as in equation 22+) Reacts with the phosphorus in the inlet stream to produce a water insoluble productHydroxyapatite (Ca)5(OH)(PO4)3) Phosphorus is removed as shown in the following reaction formula 3.
Typical materials used for phosphorus removal include rock phosphates, bone char, artificial dephosphorizing materials derived from limestone, calcines, and the like. Important selection criteria for dephosphorizing materials include appearance, removal efficiency, and economic benefit of the solid form used.
Reaction formula 3
,pKso=+55.9
Since the precipitation reaction of equation 3 has a large pKso value, the reaction easily occurs. Factors affecting precipitation include pH, calcium ion (Ca)2+) Concentration and concentration of coexisting ions (including dephosphorizing materials).
As shown in table 2 below, the steel slag contains calcium oxide (CaO) as an active ingredient. Calcium oxide has been used as a neutralizing agent for acidic wastewater in general wastewater treatment processes. Table 2: chemical composition of steel slag

As shown in table 1, the object of the present invention can be achieved by: the facultative aerobiont denitrification microorganism is utilized to supply a small amount of external carbon source and simultaneously carry out facultative aerobiont, heterotrophic and obligate aerobiont denitrification.
The present invention is explained in detail below based on the drawings.
FIGS. 1a and 1b are schematic views of a denitrification tank [ upstream 10, downstream 20], an external carbon source (methanol, ethanol, acetate, etc.), and a sand filtration apparatus for removing organisms, which contain sulfur and shells, for treating nitrate type nitrogen-containing wastewater (wastewater with a low C/N ratio).
The inlet liquid stream suitable for denitrification includes wastewater containing nitrate type nitrogen having a low C/N ratio, wastewater containing nitrate type nitrogen after nitrification, or wastewater containing high-concentration nitrogen (permeate water, livestock wastewater, factory wastewater, etc.).
Sulfur particles and shells were added to the upstream and downstream tanks. These sulfur particles can be used as a solid medium on which autotrophic bacteria grow in the form of a thin film and as an electron donor.
Because the obligate and facultative anotrophic denitrification microorganisms have small growth rate (Y) values in the absence of a carbon source in the inlet stream, they take longer to begin acclimatizing. In order to overcome the defect, the invention has been completed, and has the following advantages:
1) the use of a small amount of an external carbon source (1/3-1/2 for methanol used in general post-denitrification) ensures easy adaptation to the environment of the sulfur-containing denitrification tank because the facultative aerobically-competent inorganic autotrophic microorganisms rapidly grow in a short time by utilizing organic matter. Adding 3mg of methanol to remove 1mg of nitrogen according to a general heterotrophic denitrification method;
2) the tank retains a large number of microorganisms and performs partial heterotrophic denitrification; the use of a small amount of external carbon source is effective in preventing the discharge of organic matter because the organic matter is completely reacted in the tank;
3) in order to prevent the alkalinity loss in the process of chemo-energy inorganic autotrophic nitrogen removal by sulfur, part of hydrogen ions formed by chemo-energy inorganic autotrophic nitrogen removal in the tank are neutralized by hydroxyl ions generated in the heterotrophic reaction, so thatthe damage of the alkalinity is minimized;
4) in order to prevent the reduction of pH by hydrogen ions generated during the reduction of nitrite type nitrogen by sulfur microorganisms, the pH is maintained at a level of 6 to 8 by shells or steel slag so that denitrification microorganisms can exert their denitrification activity. Preferably, sulfur and shell are mixed at a ratio of 4: 1 to 2: 1, and the amount of sulfur and shell is determined in consideration of inflow concentration of nitrite type nitrogen and supply period of shell;
5) calcium ion (Ca) generated by shell or steel slag ionization2-) Reacting with phosphorus in the inlet stream to form water-insoluble hydroxyapatite (Ca)5(OH)(PO4)3) Thereby removing the phosphorus. Long-term operation may cause tank blockage due to microbial floaters, requiring frequent backwashing (2); and
6) the microorganisms are removed in the sand filter tank (4) because of the low growth rate (Y) of the denitrogenating microorganisms and the very low concentration of microorganisms in the inlet liquid stream passing through the denitrogenating tank (3) containing sulphur.
The following specific examples are intended to illustrate the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims.
Example 1
1.1) Experimental set-Up and analytical overview
Columns containing sulfur particles were operated with varying organic concentrations at alkalinity below the theoretical amount of heterotrophic denitrification to study the distribution of organic denitrogenated from sulfur microorganisms in the presence of high concentrations of nitrate-type nitrogen. Table 3: experimental conditions for column experiments
Column number Filler material Organic matter Electron donor Condition
E1 Control Sulfur (253g) - Sulfur NO3-N:600mg/L Low alkalinity Room temperature (24-25 deg.C) Sulfur particle size: 2-4mm HRT: 14 hours
E2 Column
1 Methanol Sulphur and methanol
Column
2 Ethanol Sulphur and ethanol
The reactor was inoculated with aerobic return sludge from a municipal sewage treatment plant. After 24 hours of contact, the column was operated continuously in upflow mode for 20 days (table 1) at a hydraulic retention time of 20h to form microorganisms on the solid medium.
Any influence of phototrophic microorganisms utilizing sulphur is prevented with a black fabric. The inflow artificial wastewater is prepared by 600mgN/l KNO3、1g/l NH4Cl、2g/l KH2PO4、0.8g/l MgSO4·7H2O、2g/l NaHCO3And trace metal solutions plus methanol and ethanol. About 930mg/l CaCO for the wastewater treatment process3The inlet stream is subjected to a base concentration in the form of a concentration insufficient to remove all NO3 --N (theoretical alkalinity required 3200mg/L CaCO)3). The column test was also performed at room temperature.
Runs 1 and 2 were used to compare some of the heterotrophic microorganisms that use only sulfur chemolithotrophic denitrification and methanol and ethanol as external carbon sources.
In test 1, which was designed to induce microbial nitrogen removal of sulfur, the base nutrient, the buffer solution and nitrate-type nitrogen (600mg NO) to be treated were mixed3 --N/L) is added to the column in the absence of organic matter at insufficient alkalinity.
In contrast, to investigate the correlation between the organic matter, the sulfur particles contained in the column, and the microbial treatment efficiency, test 2 was performed as follows: a theoretical amount of methanol ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 (T-1140 mg CH)3OH/L) and ethanol (T822 mg C)2H5OH/L) was added to the inlet stream (600mg NO) in the column3 -N/L) as the theoretical amount of methanol/ethanol required for heterotrophic denitrificationThe basis of (1). T means the stoichiometry of heterotrophic denitrification, corresponding to the removal of 1mg of nitrate-type nitrogen, requiring 1.9 and 1.37mg of methanol and ethanol, respectively. Equations 4 and 5 are not considered to be growth of the bacteria in an amount of about 30% higher than the stoichiometry given in the following equation.
Reaction formula 4
Reaction formula 5
The Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) was fixed at 14 hours during wastewater treatment. This corresponds to NO3 -The load factor of-N was 1.2kg NO3 --N/m3D, sufficient to remove more than 95% of NO at sufficient alkalinity according to previous studies3 --N。
When the treatment results were within 5% of the analytical values, analysis was performed by collecting the inlet stream and the final effluent. The actual wastewater was used for tests for removing phosphorus. The experiment was carried out in a similar manner to that described above using a 3: 1 mixture of sulphur pellets and shells.
2.1) changes in pH and alkalinity
In the control experiment without organic alkalinity deficit, the inlet stream ph7.3-7.5 was lowered to the effluent ph5.9-6.0, while 40% of the nitrate in the inlet stream was removed. Calculating the Δ SO produced4 2-Reduced Delta NO3 -The ratio of-N is 5.5.
When 1/4T methanol (C1) and ethanol (C2) were added to simultaneously heterotrophically and chemolithoautotrophic denitrogenation, the pH of the effluent was increased to 6.6 and 6.7, respectively. This increase is believed to be the alkalinity provided by heterotrophic denitrification.
Initial alkalinity (920mg/L CaCO) in a control run without any organics in the stream3) More than 90% was consumed and the pH was below 6.0. Therefore, since the activity of sulfur microorganisms is significantly reduced, denitrification reaction hardly occurs.
The alkalinity of the effluent increased more than the control when methanol and ethanol were supplied to each inlet stream. The alkalinity of methanol and ethanol was maintained at 50% and 60%, respectively, with the theoretical amount of 1/4 supplied into the inlet stream. This is presumably because ethanol is more suitable for heterotrophic denitrification than methanol.
2.2) removal efficiency of nitrate type Nitrogen and production of sulfate ion
FIGS. 2 and 3 show the heterotrophic and chemolithoautotrophic denitrification efficiency as a function of methanol and ethanol addition.
NO of the inlet stream in the absence of organics during sulfur denitrogenation3 -The N concentration was 40% removed. 1/4T methanol (C1) and ethanol (C2) supplied, NO3 -The removal efficiency of N increased by 64.2% and 50.8%, respectively; with 1/2T methanol and ethanol supplies in columns 1 and 2, NO3 -The removal efficiency of-N increased to 93.1% and 73.5%, respectively. The fractions of heterotrophic denitrification and thiodenitrification are based on the Δ SO obtained in test 14 2-/ΔNO3 --N (5.5) calculation. The fraction of chemolithoautotrophic nitrogen removal in methanol increases with increasing amount of methanol, but in the case of ethanol, the fraction decreases. This is because, in the case of methanol, CO produced by the heterotrophic denitrification reaction increases with the methanol concentration2And OH-Increased, resulting in enhanced autotrophic nitrogen removal in the OT-1/2T methanol range.
In the case of ethanol, the decreased fraction of chemo-autotrophic nitrogen removal indicates that ethanol is more conducive to the high-rate growth of heterotrophic microorganisms.
Fig. 4 shows the sulfate ion generation amounts of columns 1 and 2.
As can be seen from the figure, the amount of sulfate ion production increases parallel to the supply of methanol, while the amount of sulfate ion production decreases parallel to the supply of ethanol.
Further, when 93% of nitrate type nitrogen was removed, 2800mg/L of sulfate ion was generated. Although the addition of 1/2 in the theoretically required amount in column 1 improved the treatment efficiency of nitrate type nitrogen, approximately 1,900mg/L of sulfate ion was produced. Therefore, the simultaneous autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification reduces the amount of sulfate ion produced.
2.3) DOC and turbidity Change
In all cases of columns 1 and 2, it was shown that more than 95% DOC was removed in both species. This is because the organic matter is used for heterotrophic denitrification and microbial growth. It is noted that ethanol is more favorable than methanol in terms of overall microbial growth, but the former is inferior to the latter in terms of denitrification. For this reason, more ethanol is required to maintain the same treatment efficiency as methanol.
The amount of cells in the effluent is measured indirectly as turbidity. The turbidity of the effluent from column 1 (greater than 2.5NUT) was higher than that of column 2(6.5 NTU).
2.4) removal of phosphorus
For the dephosphorization test, the actual wastewater containing 250mg/L of nitrate type nitrogen and 20.1mg/L of phosphorus was used. A3: 1 mixture of sulphur pellets and shell was added to the sulphur containing tank and the test was carried out in a similar manner to that described above. The results showed removal of more than 98% of nitrate-type nitrogen at 8 Hours (HRT) with removal of about 10mg/L phosphorus, showing removal rates of 40-50%.
Example 2: pH of fired and dried shells over time
FIG. 5 shows the change over time of the pH of a mixture containing 1g of shells (1 hour shell fired at 550 ℃ C. and shell dried at 105 ℃ C.) and 50ml of 0.1N sulfuric acid.
The neutralization rate of the burnt shells is greater than that of the dried shells. When the tank is fully neutralized, the shell will maintain a pH (about 8) suitable for microbial growth. At CaO and Ca (OH)2In the case of (2), the reaction takes place very rapidly, and after the reaction, pH (12) conditions are established which are unsuitable for the growth of microorganisms.
Thus, it is noted that seashells can be effectively used to provide a carbon source CO for chemolithoautotrophic denitrification of microorganisms2Maintaining the pH and dephosphorizing. In addition, organic matter adhering to the dried shells should be removed to a desired level.
As described above, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) removal of sulfur-utilizing organismsIn addition to denitrification process, small amount (required amount of heterotrophic denitrification 1/3-1/2) of external carbon source (methanol, ethanol, acetate, etc.) is added to perform facultative, heterotrophic and obligatory inorganic autotrophic denitrification simultaneously to improve denitrification efficiency, (2) shell or steel slag can be used to supplement alkalinity deficiency during denitrification of sulfur, and calcium ion (Ca) in water generated by shell or steel slag can be used2+) Dephosphorizing by precipitation in the presence of phosphorus, and (3) reusing a large amount of the discarded source of conches and steel slag.
