The present invention provides nitrification and treatment for sewage and other wastewater.
This invention relates to a method of flotation and concentration of sludge in the denitrification activated sludge method. Generally, in the activated sludge method, the concentration of excess sludge is roughly divided into flotation concentration method and gravity sedimentation type concentration method. The flotation concentration method has the advantage of being able to concentrate to a high concentration in a short time compared to the gravity sedimentation method, but the conventional pressurized flotation method requires a pressure pump, an air introduction device, This method requires the installation of various devices such as an air saturation tank, requires a large amount of energy to operate these devices, and has the further drawback that the separated liquid becomes polluted due to disturbance when the sludge and pressurized water come into contact with each other. In particular, denitrifying bacteria, commonly known as facultative anaerobes, generate N 2 gas bubbles that cause the denitrification reaction shown by the following equation. 2NO 3 +5H 2 →N 2 ↑+20H - +4H 2 O- The above reaction is carried out under anaerobic conditions, and this reaction requires the presence of a hydrogen donor (H 2 ), which acts as a reducing agent for NO . Normally, alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, organic substances such as BOD substances contained in wastewater, or inorganic substances such as sulfur powder are effective as reducing agents, but their effectiveness as reducing agents is small and they do not interfere with microbial cells. Substances are also used (endo-respiratory denitrification). When the denitrification phenomenon described above occurs in the settling tank of an activated sludge treatment device, the sludge floats to the surface, making normal operation of the device impossible and causing a serious problem. The present invention aims to eliminate these conventional drawbacks, and aims to reduce the amount of N2 produced by the denitrification phenomenon of microorganisms.
The object of the present invention is to provide an effective method for economically flotation separation and concentration of sludge in an extremely simple process using gas. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method that can eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional pressurized flotation concentration method at once by positively utilizing the flotation of sludge due to the denitrification phenomenon. The present invention treats wastewater with activated sludge through a biological treatment process, a flotation concentration process, and a sedimentation process to nitrify or denitrify the nitrogen content in the wastewater. waste water
SS (suspended solids) is introduced into the flotation concentration process together with the concentrated liquid, NOx in the introduced mixed liquid is biologically denitrified under anaerobic conditions, and the generated N2 gas is used to remove the NOx from the flotation concentration process. This sludge concentration method is characterized in that the sludge that has flowed into the concentration step is floated and concentrated, and the separated liquid obtained by the concentration is returned to the biological treatment step. Next, one embodiment of the method of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. Wastewater 1 flows into the nitrification step 2 under aerobic conditions together with the returned sludge 5 from the settling tank 4, and the BOD in the wastewater is is oxidized and NH 4 is nitrified to NO is added and denitrification is completed, the mixed liquid flows into the settling tank 4, where it is separated into solid and liquid, and the supernatant water is transferred to the treated water 7.
Some or all of the settled sludge is returned to the nitrification process 2. A part of the mixed liquid containing NO x in the nitrification step 2 is led to a mixing step 12,
A part of the wastewater as raw water 9, a concentrated solution of wastewater SS, or a combination of these and the above-mentioned reducing agent 6 is led to a flotation concentration step 8, where NOx is reduced (denitrification phenomenon). The resulting N2 gas adheres to the sludge, and the sludge is floated and concentrated. The separated liquid 11 flows into the nitrification process or denitrification process 3 and remains
NOx and BOD components are processed. If the concentration of NOx in the flotation concentration step is low, wastewater or industrial nitric acid solution containing NOx may be injected into the mixing step 12. If raw sludge from the first settling tank is used as the raw water 9 in the mixing step 12, the raw sludge can be simultaneously concentrated in addition to the mixed liquid sludge in the flotation concentration step 8.
Even more effective. In Figure 1, A is an air compressor, B is a gas-liquid ejector, C is a saturation tank, D is a liquid-liquid ejector, E is a sludge flotation concentration tank, F is a sludge concentration tank, G is a separated liquid type, and H is a Pressurized water pump, I indicates treated water, J indicates miscellaneous waste water, k indicates thickened sludge, and L indicates sludge. As described above, in the method of the present invention, the mixed liquid of the biological treatment process containing NO By introducing a part of the wastewater or a liquid that concentrates the SS content of the wastewater, the floating concentration of sludge is caused by N2 gas generated by biological denitrification, and biologically NO
The activity (rate) of reducing N2 gas to N2 gas is greatly increased by the presence of easily biodegradable organic matter (reducing agent), making it easy to separate wastewater and greatly increasing denitrification activity, resulting in high efficiency. Stable flotation and concentration can be performed, and a concentrated solution of SS in wastewater, which is rich in easily biodegradable organic matter, is also used as a reducing agent for denitrification, and with this, SS in wastewater can also be separated by flotation at the same time. This makes the entire sludge treatment extremely easy. Moreover, during denitrification, by oxidizing and decomposing those organic substances with the oxygen in NO Therefore, the organic matter load in the biological treatment process is reduced, making it possible to obtain more purified treated water. This method skilfully utilizes the denitrification phenomenon, which is one of the physiological reactions of microorganisms, to float and concentrate sludge. It is possible to economically concentrate sludge by flotation using extremely simple equipment without using anything, and it is extremely useful for dewatering or digesting sludge. Furthermore, it is an extremely clarified separation method because sludge can be separated by flotation gently. There are benefits such as being able to obtain water and perform stable concentration treatment, and maintenance and management is extremely simple. Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The denitrification activated sludge treatment experiment consisted of 20 nitrification tanks, 20 denitrification tanks, 200 ml of raw water flow rate, and 200 ml of returned sludge.
/day at a water temperature of 30±1°C. Acetic acid was used as the reducing agent for denitrification. The sludge flotation test was conducted in batch operation using a transparent vinyl chloride cylinder (with a bottom opening) d shown in FIG. The properties of each water quality for denitrification activated sludge treatment are as follows. Note that artificial wastewater was used as the raw water.
