Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、硝酸性窒素の生物化学的除去装置に関し、さらに詳しくは、排水中の硝酸性窒素を効率的に除去する簡便な生物化学的除去装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、排水全般の汚染問題、特に硝酸性窒素問題が深刻化していることから、環境省は平成１１年３月、水質汚濁に係る人の健康の保護に関する環境基準及び地下水の水質汚濁に係る環境基準項目として、「硝酸性窒素及び亜硝酸性窒素」を含む３項目を新たに追加告示している。しかし、農業排水は未処理のまま河川や湖沼に垂れ流しされており、浄化槽式の家庭排水も硝酸性窒素を除去することなく放流されているのが現状である。
【０００３】
排水中の硝酸性窒素を除去する技術として、メタノールや汚泥中の有機炭素源を水素供与体として脱窒する従属栄養性脱窒技術が知られている。この技術は、使用細菌以外の分解系の影響を受け、基質当たりの脱窒率は低く、また用いたメタノールや発生した汚泥を外界に排出しないよう厳しく管理された設備が必要となる。すなわち、単一の脱窒槽に被処理水を通水させるだけでは水質浄化ができず、多くの処理施設が必要となり、ポンプ、攪拌装置などの電源も必要なうえ、設備の保守点検が欠かせない。
【０００４】
これに対し、硫黄や硫黄化合物を用いた独立栄養性脱窒技術では、硫黄酸化細菌による脱窒が選択的に行われるので、基質当たりの脱窒効率が高く、しかも生成物である硫酸イオンは水質環境の制限因子ではないので、処理水中に０.１％以下の含有率であれば、カルシウム化合物によるｐＨ調整を行うことでそのまま放流して差し支えない。
【０００５】
特開平6-182393号公報には、硫黄粉粒体で形成した流動床式反応槽に、硝酸性窒素を含む排水を通して脱窒させる方法が記載されている。この方法は、脱窒により発生した窒素ガスが気泡として脱窒資材の表面を覆い、以後の脱窒を阻害するため、動力費のかさむ流動床式を採用している。また、脱窒に伴い生成する硫酸酸性を別途矯正する必要があること、原水を常時強制通水させないと強酸性となって脱窒が停止することなどの難点がある。
【０００６】
このような従来脱窒方法を抜本的に改善するものとして、WO2000/18694号公報には、通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌を利用した、単体硫黄及び硫黄酸化細菌に対する炭素源からなる脱窒資材が記載されている。この脱窒資材は、硫黄酸化細菌の栄養源である硫黄と菌体合成に必要な炭素源を資材内にほぼ同量共存させることで、効率よく脱窒を行わせることを可能にした画期的なものである。しかも、脱窒系以内で生成されるカルシウムイオンと硫酸イオンはほぼ等量で、常に略中性を保てるため、ｐＨ低下による脱窒能の低下は起こらない。この脱窒資材は、攪拌や曝気が不要で、かごやネットなどに詰めて排水中に置くだけでよく、例えば下水暗渠や農業排水暗渠などに設置すればよく、無電源でかつメンテナンスフリーの脱窒処理が可能となり、処理コストが従来法に較べて格段に低下し、簡便でかつ普遍的な脱窒処理を実現した。
【０００７】
一方、小規模な施設園芸設備の排水、家畜飼育設備のし尿排水、家庭排水などを対象にした簡便な脱窒装置が望まれているが、従来の処理設備は、大規模で設備費用や運転費用が高くなり、普遍的な導入が困難という問題がある。
【０００８】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
したがって、本発明の目的は、排水中の硝酸性窒素を効率的に除去でき、且つ設備費用や運転費用が低廉な生物化学的除去装置を提供することにある。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち、本発明は、槽内に通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌、硫黄と炭酸カルシウムを含む粒状又は塊状の生物化学的脱窒資材が充填され、槽下部に排水等の被処理水の入口と出口を備え、槽内には該脱窒資材と接触しつつ上昇した処理水を降下させる降下管を有し、該降下管は上端が槽内頂部近傍で開口し下端が被処理水の出口と連結されている竪型処理槽であって、最初の処理槽の入口から入る被処理水は降下管の上端まで上昇させるに足りる水位を有するか又は該処理槽の入口にそのための加圧手段を有すると共に、且つ、竪型処理槽を直列に複数連結し、該複数の竪型処理槽は、前の処理槽の出口と次の処理槽の入口が連結されると共に、最初の処理槽からの水位により、順次後続の処理槽に被処理水が流れるように前記降下管の開口位置高さが最初の処理槽から最終処理槽に向かって順次低くなるように構成されていること、及び脱窒資材の充填高さが、降下管の上端より低いことを特徴とする硝酸性窒素の生物化学的除去装置である。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の硝酸性窒素の生物化学的除去装置（以下「本発明装置」という）について、図面を参照して具体的に説明する。図１は、本発明装置の一例を示す概念図である。参照符号１で示す本発明装置は、生物化学的脱窒資材（詳細は後記する）が充填された３槽の竪型処理槽５、１１及び１７を直列したものである。
【００１１】
硝酸性窒素を含む排水等の被処理水２は、ポンプ３で昇圧され、入口４から第１の竪型処理槽５に導入される。脱窒資材６が充填された第１処理槽５は、中心部に降下管７と、下部に出口８を備えている。降下管７は、脱窒資材６と接触しながら上昇した処理水を槽下部に降下させるため、その上端が槽内頂部近傍で開口し、その下端が出口８と連結されている。脱窒資材６は、降下管７の開口部と同じ高さかやや低い高さまで充填されており、脱窒資材６との接触により部分的に脱窒された被処理水は、降下管７を降下して出口８から排出され、パイプ９を経て入口１０から第２処理槽１１に導入される。
【００１２】
第２処理槽１１は、脱窒資材１２が充填され、降下管１３と出口１４を備えており、降下管１３の開口位置の高さが、第１処理槽５の降下管７のそれより低く位置させている以外は、第１処理槽５と同様な構成としている。このように構成すると、第２処理槽１１に入った被処理水は、降下管１３の開口位置の高さまで十分到達するので、入口１０の前後で昇圧しなくてよい。そして、脱窒資材１２との接触により更に脱窒された被処理水は、降下管１３を降下して出口１４から排出され、パイプ１５を経て入口１６から第３処理槽１７に導入される。
【００１３】
第３処理槽１７は、脱窒資材１８が充填され、降下管１９と出口２０を備えており、降下管１９の開口位置の高さが、第２処理槽１１の降下管１３のそれより低く位置させている以外、第２処理槽１１と同様な構成としている。脱窒資材１８との接触により所定の脱窒率まで脱窒された処理水は、降下管１９を降下して出口２０から排出され、放流されるかあるいは再利用される。
【００１４】
なお、本発明は、図１及び前記説明に限定されるものではなく、本発明の目的が達成される範囲内で各要素の置換や設計変更を含む。
例えば、本発明装置１を地下に設置するなど、被処理水２が降下管５の上端まで上昇させるに足りる水位を有する場合、ポンプ３は不要である。また、処理槽は、２槽以上であればよく、処理水量が多い場合は４槽、５槽としてもよい。冬季には水温が低く脱窒反応が遅くなるので、被処理水２を温めたり、第１処理槽５の周囲に電熱ヒーターを巻いたりすることが好ましい。さらに、出口８や出口１４に、脱窒反応で生成したセッコウを抜き出すためのセッコウ抜きを設けてもよい。そして、図１に示すように、処理槽５、１１、１７の頂部に、キャップ式蓋２１、２２、２３を被せるようにしておくと、処理槽５などの脱窒資材６などが消耗したとき、キャップ式蓋２１を外して簡単に脱窒資材を追加することができる。
【００１５】
本発明装置に用いる脱窒資材は、通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌、単体硫黄及び硫黄酸化細菌用炭素源を含むものである。
通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌は、Thiobacillus denitrificans単離菌株又はThiobacillus denitrificans等を含む土壌細菌群として使用され、水中の溶存酸素が少ない状態下においてＣＯ2を炭素源、単体硫黄を電子供与体、そして排水中のＮＯ3などＮＯXを電子受容体として増殖する微生物で、この時ＮＯXはＮ2にまで還元され水中から除去される。この通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌は、増殖・脱窒に有機物を必要とせず、単体硫黄とＣＯ2により脱窒を行うことから、栄養源を液体の状態でなく固形担体として保持することが可能であり、これによって栄養源の流失を防ぎ、頻繁な栄養源添加が不必要となる。
【００１６】
本発明装置から通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌をの流亡を防ぐには、事前に本発明による硝酸性窒素除去装置内又は別途準備した培養タンク内で、単体硫黄及び硫黄酸化細菌用炭素源が混合一体化された造粒物を、Thiobacillus denitrificans単離菌株又はそれらを含む土壌細菌群を添加した硝酸性窒素含有溶液に浸漬して、その造粒物の表面、空隙内部等に付着させる操作を行うことが好ましい。
【００１７】
また、通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌は、それを含有する土壌粒子、土壌コロイドとして本発明装置内に添加してもよい。さらに、通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌が利用できる窒素化合物を本来含有する石炭、亜炭、泥炭等に予め通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌を表面に付着させた粒子として添加してもよい。そして、これらの通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌含有粒子等は、単体硫黄及び硫黄酸化細菌用炭素源が混合一体化された造粒物に吸着又は付着させて、ここで前記菌を増殖させることが好ましい。この際、必要に応じて、通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌を物理的に保持するロックウール、ガラス繊維、セラミック繊維、炭素繊維等の繊維状担体を前記造粒物中に混合又は近接して配置してもよい。前記造粒物中から少しづつ滲出する硫黄や炭素源により、脱窒が進行するように近接して配置することが有利である。
【００１８】
この通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌が必要とする炭素源としては、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸鉄、炭酸マンガン等の水に対して実質的に溶解せず、硫黄酸化細菌の活動で生じた硫酸イオンと水中で反応して炭酸ガスを放出する炭酸塩を使用できる。また、通性嫌気性硫黄酸化細菌が必要とする単体硫黄としては、天然硫黄や石油精製、各種工業プラントの副産硫黄が使用できる。
【００１９】
本発明装置に使用する脱窒資材は、直径０.５〜５０mm程度の単独粒として充填してもよいが、好ましくはこれらを微粉砕した後、混合し、溶融又はプレス成形法により一体化した物を更に直径１〜５０mmに造粒した粒状物である。
【００２０】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a biochemical removal apparatus for nitrate nitrogen, and more particularly to a simple biochemical removal apparatus that efficiently removes nitrate nitrogen from waste water.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the pollution problem of wastewater in general, especially the nitrate nitrogen problem, has become serious. In March 1999, the Ministry of the Environment established environmental standards for the protection of human health related to water pollution and the environment related to groundwater water pollution. Three new items including “nitric nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen” are newly announced as standard items. However, agricultural wastewater is drained into rivers and lakes without treatment, and septic tank-type domestic wastewater is also discharged without removing nitrate nitrogen.
[0003]
As a technique for removing nitrate nitrogen in wastewater, a heterotrophic denitrification technique for denitrifying methanol or organic carbon source in sludge as a hydrogen donor is known. This technology is affected by degradation systems other than the bacteria used, has a low denitrification rate per substrate, and requires strictly controlled equipment so that the methanol used and the generated sludge are not discharged to the outside world. In other words, it is not possible to purify the water by simply passing the water to be treated through a single denitrification tank, and many treatment facilities are required, and power supplies such as pumps and agitators are also required. Absent.
[0004]
In contrast, in the autotrophic denitrification technology using sulfur and sulfur compounds, denitrification by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria is selectively performed, so that the denitrification efficiency per substrate is high, and the product sulfate ion is Since it is not a limiting factor of the water quality environment, if the content is 0.1% or less in the treated water, it can be discharged as it is by adjusting the pH with a calcium compound.
[0005]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-182393 describes a method of denitrifying a fluidized bed type reaction tank formed of sulfur powder through drainage containing nitrate nitrogen. This method employs a fluidized bed method in which the nitrogen gas generated by the denitrification covers the surface of the denitrification material as bubbles and inhibits the subsequent denitrification, so that the power cost is increased. In addition, there is a problem that it is necessary to separately correct the acidity of sulfuric acid generated with denitrification, and that denitrification stops due to strong acidity if raw water is not always forced.
[0006]
In order to drastically improve such a conventional denitrification method, WO2000 / 18694 discloses a denitrification material comprising a carbon source for simple sulfur and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria using facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Are listed. This denitrification material is an epoch-making that enables efficient denitrification by allowing sulfur, which is a nutrient source for sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, to coexist in the material with almost the same amount of carbon source necessary for cell synthesis. Is something. In addition, calcium ions and sulfate ions produced within the denitrification system are approximately equal in quantity and can always be kept substantially neutral, so that the denitrification ability does not decrease due to a decrease in pH. This denitrification material does not require agitation and aeration. It only needs to be packed in a basket or net and placed in drainage. For example, it can be installed in sewage culverts or agricultural drainage culverts. Processing became possible, and the processing cost was significantly reduced compared to the conventional method, realizing a simple and universal denitrification process.
[0007]
On the other hand, a simple denitrification device for drainage of small-scale horticultural equipment, human waste for domestic animal breeding equipment, household wastewater, etc. is desired. There is a problem that costs are high and universal introduction is difficult.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a biochemical removal apparatus that can efficiently remove nitrate nitrogen in waste water and that has low equipment and operating costs.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention is such that the tank is filled with facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, granular or massive biochemical denitrification material containing sulfur and calcium carbonate, and the inlet and outlet of the water to be treated such as drainage at the bottom of the tank the provided, the tank has a downcomer lowering the treated water was increased while contacting with the de窒資material, connecting該降under tube has a lower end open upper end, in the vicinity of the top tank and the outlet of the water to be treated The treated water entering from the entrance of the first treatment tank has a water level sufficient to rise to the upper end of the downcomer, or has a pressurizing means for the treatment tank at the entrance of the treatment tank. In addition, a plurality of vertical processing tanks are connected in series, and the plurality of vertical processing tanks are connected to the outlet of the previous processing tank and the inlet of the next processing tank, and the water level from the first processing tank. , the opening position of the drop tube to the water to be treated flows successively to a subsequent treatment vessel Saga by being composed of the first treatment tank so that successively lower toward the final treatment bath, and the filling height of de窒資material, the nitrate nitrogen, wherein the lower than the upper end of the downcomer organism Chemical removal device .
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The nitrate nitrogen biochemical removal apparatus of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present invention apparatus”) will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the apparatus of the present invention. The apparatus of the present invention indicated by reference numeral 1 is a series of three vertical processing tanks 5, 11 and 17 filled with a biochemical denitrification material (details will be described later).
[0011]
Water to be treated 2 such as waste water containing nitrate nitrogen is pressurized by a pump 3 and introduced into a first vertical processing tank 5 from an inlet 4. The first treatment tank 5 filled with the denitrification material 6 includes a downcomer 7 at the center and an outlet 8 at the bottom. The downcomer 7 has its upper end opened near the top in the tank and is connected to the outlet 8 in order to lower the treated water that has risen while contacting the denitrification material 6 to the lower part of the tank. The denitrification material 6 is filled to the same height as the opening of the downcomer pipe 7 or slightly lower, and the treated water partially denitrified by the contact with the denitrification material 6 descends the downcomer pipe 7. Then, it is discharged from the outlet 8 and introduced into the second treatment tank 11 from the inlet 10 through the pipe 9.
[0012]
The second treatment tank 11 is filled with denitrification material 12 and includes a downcomer 13 and an outlet 14, and the height of the opening position of the downcomer 13 is lower than that of the downcomer 7 of the first treatment tank 5. The configuration is the same as that of the first treatment tank 5 except that it is positioned. If comprised in this way, since the to-be-processed water which entered into the 2nd treatment tank 11 will fully reach the height of the opening position of the downcomer 13, it does not need to be pressurized before and after the inlet 10. The treated water further denitrified by contact with the denitrification material 12 descends the downcomer 13 and is discharged from the outlet 14, and is introduced into the third treatment tank 17 from the inlet 16 through the pipe 15.
[0013]
The third treatment tank 17 is filled with denitrification material 18 and includes a downcomer 19 and an outlet 20, and the height of the opening position of the downcomer 19 is lower than that of the downcomer 13 of the second treatment tank 11. It is set as the structure similar to the 2nd processing tank 11 except having been located. The treated water denitrified to the predetermined denitrification rate by contact with the denitrification material 18 descends the downcomer 19 and is discharged from the outlet 20 to be discharged or reused.
[0014]
In addition, this invention is not limited to FIG. 1 and the said description, The replacement of each element and a design change are included within the range in which the objective of this invention is achieved.
For example, the pump 3 is unnecessary when the water 2 to be treated has a water level sufficient to raise the upper end of the downcomer pipe 5, such as installing the device 1 of the present invention underground. Moreover, a processing tank should just be 2 tanks or more, and when there are many amounts of treated water, it is good also as 4 tanks and 5 tanks. Since the water temperature is low and the denitrification reaction is slow in winter, it is preferable to warm the water to be treated 2 or to wind an electric heater around the first treatment tank 5. Furthermore, you may provide the outlet 8 and the outlet 14 for extracting the gypsum generated by the denitrification reaction. As shown in FIG. 1, when the cap-type lids 21, 22, and 23 are placed on top of the processing tanks 5, 11, and 17, the denitrification material 6 such as the processing tank 5 is consumed. The denitrification material can be easily added by removing the cap-type lid 21.
[0015]
The denitrification material used in the apparatus of the present invention contains facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, elemental sulfur, and a carbon source for sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.
The facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium is used as a soil bacterium group including Thiobacillus denitrificans isolated strain or Thiobacillus denitrificans and the like, under a state of low dissolved oxygen in water, CO 2 as a carbon source, simple sulfur as an electron donor, and A microorganism that grows using NO x such as NO 3 in the waste water as an electron acceptor. At this time, NO x is reduced to N 2 and removed from the water. This facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium does not require organic substances for growth and denitrification, and denitrification is performed with simple sulfur and CO 2 , so that it is possible to retain the nutrient source as a solid carrier rather than in a liquid state This prevents the loss of nutrients and eliminates the need for frequent addition of nutrients.
[0016]
In order to prevent the facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from flowing away from the apparatus of the present invention, a mixture of simple sulfur and a carbon source for sulfur-oxidizing bacteria is mixed in advance in the nitrate nitrogen removal apparatus according to the present invention or in a separately prepared culture tank. The integrated granulated product is immersed in a nitrate nitrogen-containing solution to which Thiobacillus denitrificans isolated strain or soil bacteria group containing them is added, and is attached to the surface of the granulated product, the inside of the void, etc. It is preferable.
[0017]
The facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria may be added to the apparatus of the present invention as soil particles or soil colloids containing the bacteria. Furthermore, you may add as a particle | grains which made the facultative anaerobic sulfur oxidation bacteria adhere to the surface beforehand to coal, lignite, peat, etc. which originally contain the nitrogen compound which facultative anaerobic sulfur oxidation bacteria can utilize. These facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria-containing particles and the like can be adsorbed or adhered to a granulated material in which elemental sulfur and a carbon source for sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are mixed and integrated, and the bacteria can be grown here. preferable. At this time, if necessary, a fibrous carrier such as rock wool, glass fiber, ceramic fiber, or carbon fiber that physically holds the facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria is mixed or placed in the granulated product. May be. It is advantageous to arrange them close to each other so that denitrification proceeds by the sulfur or carbon source exuding little by little from the granulated material.
[0018]
The carbon source required by this facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium is sulfuric acid produced by the activity of the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that does not substantially dissolve in water such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, iron carbonate, and manganese carbonate. Carbonates that react with ions in water to release carbon dioxide can be used. Moreover, natural sulfur, petroleum refining, and by-product sulfur of various industrial plants can be used as the elemental sulfur required for facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.
[0019]
The denitrification material used in the apparatus of the present invention may be filled as single grains having a diameter of about 0.5 to 50 mm, preferably after finely pulverizing, mixing, and integrating by melting or press molding. This is a granular product obtained by granulating the product to a diameter of 1 to 50 mm.
[0020]

These were connected to process tanks 5, 11, and 17. The treatment tanks 5, 11, and 17 are filled with denitrification materials up to 10 mm below the opening of the downcomer (filling amounts are 13 liters, 12 liters, and 11 liters, respectively). 1, the outlet of the processing tank 11 and the inlet of the processing tank 17 were connected to form the apparatus 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1.
As a denitrification material, a granular material having a particle diameter of 5 to 20 mm obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of limestone powder and 120 parts by weight of sulfur powder and compression molding at 650 kg / cm 2 was used. In each treatment tank, 10 parts by weight of particulate matter to which Thiobacillus denitrificans, which is a facultative anaerobic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, is admixed at a ratio of 90 parts by weight of new particulate matter to which sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are not attached. Respectively.
Waste water with a nitric acid concentration of 100 mg / liter represented by NO 3 − was introduced from the pump 3 attached to the device 1 of the present invention, and a nitrate nitrogen removal test was conducted.
When 1 t / day of waste water was pumped at an outside air temperature of 25 ° C., the final treated water had a nitric acid concentration of 0.1 mg / liter and a denitrification rate of 99.9%.
[0021]
