采用有效容积为700 L的推流式生物沥浸反应器对城市污泥进行连续14 d的生物沥浸处理, 利用折流方式将反应器从进泥端到排泥端沿程方向依次划分为1~6区.对不同污泥停留时间(SRT)条件下反应器运行时各区的pH. 溶解氧(DO)值及污泥的脱水性能(用污泥比阻SRF表征)进行了系统的比较研究. 结果表明, 当反应器曝气量为1.2 m3·h-1, 微生物营养剂加入量为4 g·L-1, SRT为2.5 d时, 反应系统在72 h时运行达到稳定, 相应反应器各区的pH分别为5.00、3.00、2.90、2.70、2.60与2.40. 污泥的比阻值由1区的0.64×1013m·kg-1逐渐降低至6区的0.33×1013m·kg-1. 当SRT为2 d时,生物沥浸系统在120 h达到稳定, 各区相应的pH分别为5.10、4.10、3.20、2.90、2.70与2.60.相应的DO值分别为0.43、1.47、3.29、4.76、5.75与5.88 mg·L-1. 污泥的比阻值由1区的0.56×1013m·kg-1逐渐降低至6区的0.20×1013m·kg-1. 当SRT为1.25 d时,运行第48 h, 反应器6区pH升高至3.00. 污泥沿程流动过程中, 微生物菌群对营养剂利用率降低, 导致系统失衡.生物沥浸反应器污泥停留时间越长, 推流式生物沥浸系统越易达到稳定.停留时间2 d可以作为工程应用时的较优污泥停留时间.生物沥浸后将污泥收集经过增强聚丙烯厢式压滤机脱水至含水率60%以下, 此研究将为城市污泥生物沥浸后期工程化运行提供必要的参数支持.
A plug-flow bio-reactor of 700 L working volume for sludge bioleaching was used in this study. The reactor was divided into six sections along the direction of the sludge movement. Fourteen days of continuous operation of sludge bioleaching with different sludge retention time (SRT) under the condition of 1.2 m3·h-1 aeration amount and 4 g·L-1 of microbial nutritional substance was conducted. During sludge bioleaching, the dynamic changes of pH, DO, dewaterability (specific resistance to filtration, SRF)of sewage sludge in different sections were investigated in the present study. The results showed that sludge pH were maintained at 5.00,3.00,2.90,2.70,2.60 and 2.40 from section 1 to section 6 and the SRF of sludge was drastically decreased from initial 0.64×1013 m·kg-1 to the final 0.33×1013 m·kg-1 when bioleaching system reached stable at hour 72 with SRT 2.5d. In addition, the sludge pH were maintained at 5.10, 4.10, 3.20, 2.90, 2.70 and 2.60, the DO value were 0.43, 1.47, 3.29, 4.76, 5.75 and 5.88 mg·L-1 from section 1 to section 6, and the SRF of sludge was drastically decreased from initial 0.56×1013 to the final 0.20×1013 m·kg-1 when bioleaching system reached stable at hour 120 with SRT 2 d. The pH value was increased to 3.00 at section 6 at hour 48 h with SRT 1.25 d. The bioleaching system imbalanced in this operation conditions because of the utilization efficiency of microbial nutritional substance by Acidibacillus spp. was decreased. The longer sludge retention time, the easier bioleaching system reached stable. 2 d could be used as the optimum sludge retention time in engineering application. The bioleached sludge was collected and dewatered by plate-and-frame filter press to the moisture content of dewatered sludge cake under 60%.This study would provide the necessary data to the engineering application on municipal sewage sludge bioleaching.
