在线超声对膜-生物反应器活性污泥混合液性质的影响

采用在线超声控制膜-生物反应器的膜污染,通过测定活性污泥混合液絮体粒径、胞外多聚物含量、上清液有机物浓度、污泥浓度和黏度的变化,探讨了超声波对膜-生物反应器中活性污泥混合液性质的影响.结果表明:在线超声使污泥絮体破碎,其平均粒径与未施加超声波的系统相比降低约20μm左右;污泥胞外聚合物含量降低(28±5)mg·g-1左右,致使混合液上清液TOC增加;但同时超声波的施加可以降低污泥浓度和混合液黏度,使混合液膜过滤性得到改善,有助于膜污染的控制.     

微气泡及其产生方式对活性污泥混合液性质的影响

微气泡曝气有助于强化氧传质过程,在废水好氧生物处理中具有潜在的应用优势;同时,微气泡及其产生方式可能对污泥混合液性质产生影响.本研究采用SPG膜微气泡发生系统研究了微气泡及其产生方式对污泥混合液性质的影响.结果表明,微气泡曝气中,微气泡附着于污泥絮体导致污泥上浮聚集,从而造成反应器中污泥浓度(MLSS)下降,以及污泥沉降性能变差.微气泡产生过程中,液体循环泵(离心型)产生的强水力剪切力作用于污泥混合液,造成污泥絮体破碎、污泥粒径减小以及污泥絮体EPS释放,进而使得上清液浊度和有机碳(特别是胶体有机碳)浓度升高,污泥絮体的再絮凝能力丧失.微气泡产生过程中,污泥破碎导致的污泥有机物的释放使得污泥混合液的黏度增加,但混合液表面张力保持不变.     

曝气强度对膜生物反应器污泥混合液可滤性的影响

主要研究了曝气强度对膜生物反应器(MBR)膜污染的影响.2套MBR采用恒流出水模式连续运行60 d,曝气强度分别为500及100 L/h,应用死端过滤装置来检测不同阶段污泥混合液的可滤性.实验中对不同曝气强度下的溶解性微生物代谢产物(SMP)分子质量分布、颗粒粒径分布、胞外聚合物(EPS)含量进行了测定.结果表明,过高的曝气强度将恶化污泥混合液的可滤性,增加了膜污染速率.进一步研究表明,曝气强度的增加导致了污泥混合液上清液中相对分子质量>10000的SMP浓度的增加,此部分大分子有机物浓度直接影响了污泥混合液的可滤性.过高的曝气强度也导致了污泥絮体中1～10μm细小颗粒和EPS含量的增加.     

不同反应条件对污泥水热碳化脱水性能的影响

随着城市化进程的加快,我国剩余活性污泥的产生量逐年增加,活性污泥中的胞外聚合物EPS含黏性蛋白类物质并高度亲水,因此破坏污泥絮体、释放和水解黏性有机物是改善污泥脱水性能的有效途径。通过分析水热碳化调理前后污泥比阻(SRF)、黏度(μ)、絮体形态特征及上清液的理化性质,考察了温度、时间以及促进剂Fe_2(SO_4)_3对水热碳化污泥脱水性能的影响。结果表明:反应温度为220℃、反应时间为2 h、Fe_2(SO_4)_3浓度为0. 5 mol/L时的水热碳化处理,污泥的脱水性能最好,比阻和黏度分别比对照组降低了97. 7%和98. 7%。水热碳化的高温高压环境破坏了污泥的絮体,使污泥胶体结构的内聚力降低,污泥的脱水性能得到改善。     

贫营养条件下膜生物反应器污泥混合液可滤性分析

采用膜生物反应器(MBR)运行16d,未向反应器内活性污泥投加营养物质,对溶解性微生物代谢产物(SMP)、污泥颗粒粒径分布(PSD)、胞外聚合物(EPS)、SMP相对分子量分布(MWDs)进行了定期监测.修正的污染指数(MFI)用来考察与SMP和EPS相关的污泥混合液可滤性.结果表明,MFI值由1.8′104迅速增加到7.3′104s/L2,说明长时间的内源代谢过程对MBR内污泥混合液可滤性有负面的影响.污泥混合液上清液中SMP相对分子量>10kDa的大分子有机物和污泥絮体中1~10μm细小颗粒的增加,将严重恶化污泥混合液的可滤性.     

淹没式膜生物反应器中膜污染机理的研究

为减小微生物絮体对膜的污染,设计了一种具有沉降室的膜生物反应器,膜A与膜B分别淹没在上清液和污泥混合液中以相同的抽吸方式运行,与预期结果相反,膜A比膜B的污染速度还快．为探讨膜污染机理,考察了污泥混合液中不同组分对膜污染的影响,利用扫描电镜和原子力显微镜分析了膜面污染层的特征．结果发现,在污泥混合液与上清液中膜面污染层在微观结构上存在显差异,其方差平均粗糙度Rms分别为132．3nm和75．2nm．经膜污染机理分析认为：微生物絮体和大分子有机物会在膜面形成污染层,该污染层作为“二次膜”影响膜过滤性能．上清液中细小的微生物絮体和大分子有机物形成的污染层相对致密,会加剧膜污染．     

胞外聚合物对浸没式膜-生物反应器膜过滤性能的影响

通过浸没式膜-生物反应器（SMBR）处理上海市城市内河水的试验,研究了反应器混合液中和2种疏水性不同的膜上污泥胞外聚合物（EPS）的量、组成、污泥特性及对膜过滤性能的影响.结果表明,混合液污泥中的溶解性EPS和固着性EPS比膜上污泥多,不同污泥的固着性EPS组分中蛋白质（EPSP）/多糖（EPSC）的大小顺序依次为混合液污泥〈亲水膜污泥〈疏水膜污泥.疏水膜污泥中溶解性EPS比亲水膜多,溶解性EPS和固着性EPS量及组分均有很大差异.混合液污泥的EPS流动性大,疏水性膜上污泥EPS的流动性较大.溶解性EPS对污泥特性及膜过滤性能影响较大.SMBR中亲、疏水性膜片上黏附的污泥的相对疏水性分别为53%、59%.比较2种膜片通量的变化发现,疏水性膜污染严重.     

活性污泥的理化性质与絮凝调理投药量的关系

采用烧杯试验研究了活性污泥理化性质与絮凝调理投药量的关系,分析了活性污泥离心上清液黏度及其中胶体的Zeta电位和表面电荷密度、污泥絮体的粒度、分形维数和强度等理化性质指标随调理絮凝剂(CPAM,CZ-8698)投药量的变化规律,探讨了这些指标在确定絮凝调理最佳投药量方面的差异.结果表明,CZ-8698的投药量对污泥的脱水性能和理化性质均可产生明显的影响,基于毛细吸水时间(CST)、污泥比阻(SRF)确定的活性污泥絮凝调理的最佳投药量范围为4.28～7.13g.kg-1,对应的CST与SRF值分别为(12.62±1.39)s、0.56×1012m.kg-1.在此最佳投药量区间,污泥离心上清液中胶体的Zeta电位与表面电荷密度均由负值变为正值,污泥絮体的分形维数分别为1.09(一维)和1.51(二维),其表面不规则程度最低、结构较为密实;污泥絮体的粒径随着絮凝剂投药量的增加持续增大到mm尺度,但其强度在投药量高于4.60 g.kg-1以后逐渐趋于稳定.此外,当絮凝剂投药量低于上述最佳范围时,污泥离心上清液的黏度已经达到了最小值(1.24±0.04)mPa.s.     

超声声能密度对净水厂污泥脱水性能的影响

考察了不同声能密度(0.03,1.0,3.0,5.0W/m L)时超声作用对净水厂污泥脱水性能的影响,明确了污泥脱水性能变化的影响因素.结果表明,较低声能密度(0.03,1.0W/m L)超声作用少于10min时,污泥脱水性能可改善;而高声能密度条件下,无论超声时间长短,污泥的脱水性能均恶化.声能密度越高,污泥上清液中溶出有机物越高,絮体特性变化越明显,污泥脱水性能恶化程度越显著.在较低声能密度时,污泥的脱水性能与溶出有机物和污泥絮体特性变化无关;而在高声能密度(5.0W/m L)时,脱水性能的恶化程度与溶出有机物和絮体Zeta电位密切相关.     

低温时污泥膨胀对MBR中膜污染的影响

通过一体式膜生物反应装置考察了在低温条件下发生污泥膨胀过程中反应器的运行效果和膜污染的情况,并从微生物角度分析了引起膜污染的因素.结果表明,低温时COD上清液和出水平均去除率分别为85%和92%,发生丝状菌污泥膨胀后去除率变化不大.MBR中丝状菌污泥膨胀形成的过程中,污泥沉降性变差,丝状菌丰度（FI）由2增加到5,丝状菌伸出絮体形成网状结构.低温时膜操作压力随时间呈直线变化,膜组件的水力清洗周期为15 d.在丝状菌大量繁殖时缩短到7 d,膜污染严重.通过测定活性污泥的特性,发现膨胀污泥的胞外聚合物（EPS）总量是正常污泥的3倍,污泥絮体相对疏水性（RH）随FI的提高而增大.EPS和RH增大后会引起更多物质沉积到膜表面,使膜污染速率提高,膜的运行周期变短.进一步的分析表明,混合液粘度、Zeta电位、污泥絮体形态也是影响膜污染的因素.     

在线超声清洗对膜生物反应器污泥混合液特性的影响

采用低功率超声波实现了膜生物反应器中膜污染的在线超声清洗,考察在线超声清洗对污泥混合液特性的影响。结果表明:在线超声清洗能有效控制膜污染,但也会导致污泥浓度和污泥活性降低,混合液过滤性能变差,上清液有机物浓度上升,污泥絮体结构破解。污泥混合液特性的恶化必然会影响膜生物反应器的稳定运行,不利于膜污染的控制。为了避免混合液特性过度恶化,每次超声清洗时间应该控制在10 min以内。     

Mechanism of calcium mitigating membrane fouling in submerged membrane bioreactors

Two parallel membrane bioreactors (MBRs) were operated under different calcium dosages (168.5, 27 mg/L) to gain a better understanding of the mechanism of retarding membrane fouling by adding calcium. The results showed that the particle size of sludge flocs increased and the particle size distribution tended to be narrow at the optimum dosage (168.5 mg/L). Calcium was effective in decreasing loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (LB-EPS) in microbial flocs and soluble microbial products (SMP) in the supernatant at the dosage of 168.5 mg/L by strengthening the neutralization and bridging of EPS with flocs. Furthermore, the amount of COD_S and COD_C decreased in both the mixed liquor and the fouling cake layer on the membrane surface. In order to compare the filtration characteristics of cake layers from the MBRs with the two calcium dosages, the specific cake resistance and the compressibility coefficient were measured. The specific cake resistance from the MBR with optimum dosage (168.5 mg/L) was distinctly lower than that with low dosage (27 mg/L). The compressibility coefficient of the cake layers under two dosages were respectively attained as 0.65, 0.91. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and three-dimensional confocal scanning laser microscope analysis (CLSM) images were utilized to observe the gel layer directly.     

Simultaneous nitrogen and phosphor removal in an aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification （SND） effect and phosphor removal were investigated in a one-staged aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor on pilot-scale with mixed liquor suspended solids （MLSS） 19--20 g/L. The effects of DO concentration, sludge floc size distribution on SND were studied. Test results suggested that SND was successfully performed in the membrane bioreactor （MBR） and about 70% total nitrogen removal efficiency was achieved when DO concentration was set to 0.2-- 0.3 mg/L. The main mechanisms governing SND were the suitable sludge floc size and the low DO concentration which was caused by low oxygen transfer rate with such a high MLSS concentration in the MBR. In the meantime, phosphor removal was also studied with polymer ferric sulfate （PFS） addition and 14 mg/L dosage of PFS was proper for the MBR to remove phosphor. PFS addition also benefited the MBR operation owing to its reduction of extracellular polymer substances （EPS） of mixed liquor.     

投加粉末活性炭对一体式膜-生物反应器膜污染的影响研究

通过试验考察了粉末活性炭（PAC）对一体式膜-生物反应器中膜污染的影响．在2种类型的污泥（膨胀污泥和非膨胀）中，投加适量PAC可以减轻膜污染，表现为临界膜通量的提高和连续运行中膜污染增长速率的降低．当污泥性质和浓度不同时，最佳PAC投加范围亦不同．PAC投量过大会引起临界通量下降．PAC的投加显著降低了混合液中溶解性物质的浓度，减轻了溶解性物质的吸附和膜孔堵塞污染，并改善了絮体结构．污泥比阻与污泥混合液膜过滤性能之间有很好的相关性，可作为污泥混合液膜过滤性能的快速评价指标．     

厌氧膜生物反应器污泥组分对膜污染的影响

对一体式厌氧膜生物反应器污泥进行离心分离,考察污泥各组分和膜污染的特性之间的关系.通过对已有理论模型进行变形,推导出阻力的数学模型方程式,并分析了膜通量、膜阻力的变化.同时对混合液悬浮固体进行了颗粒粒径分析,并与好氧膜生物反应器的污泥颗粒进行了对比分析.结果表明,污泥混合液悬浮固体形成阻力占膜总阻力的70%,胶体物质形成阻力占22%,溶解性物质形成阻力占8%.     

Effect of sludge retention time on sludge characteristics and membrane fouling of membrane bioreactor

Three identical membrane bioreactors (MBRs) were operated over 2 years at different sludge retention time (SRT) of 10 d, 40 d and no sludge withdrawal (NS), to elucidate and quantify the effect of SRT on the sludge characteristics and membrane fouling. The hydraulic retention times of these MBRs were controlled at 12 h. With increasing SRT, the sludge concentrations in the MBRs increased, whereas the ratio of volatile suspended solid to the total solid decreased, and the size of sludge granule diminished in the meantime. A higher sludge concentration at long SRT could maintain a better organic removal efficiency, and a longer SRT was propitious to the growth of nitrifiers. The performance of these MBRs for the removal of COD and NH₄⁺-N did not change much with different SRTs. However, the bioactivity decreased as SRT increase. The measurement of specific oxygen uptake rates (SOUR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes testified that SOUR and the proportion of the bacteria-specific probe EUB338 in all DAPI-stainable bacteria decreased with increasing SRT. The concentrations of total organic carbon, protein, polysaccharides and soluble extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) in the mixed liquor supernatant also decreased with increasing SRT. The membrane fouling rate was higher at shorter SRT, and the highest fouling rate appeared at a SRT of 10 d. Both the sludge cake layer and gel layer had contribution to the fouling resistance, but the relative contribution of the gel layer decreased as SRT increase.
