Abstract: 
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of one kind of food industry effluent, cassava stillage and its anaerobic fermentation liquid, on biological nutrient removal (BNR) from municipal wastewater in anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). Experiments were carried out with cassava stillage supernatant and its anaerobic fermentation liquid, and one pure compound (sodium acetate) served as an external carbon source. Cyclic studies indicated that the cassava by-products not only affected the transformation of nitrogen, phosphorus, poly-β-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), and glycogen in the BNR process, but also resulted in higher removal efficiencies for phosphorus and nitrogen compared with sodium acetate. Furthermore, assays for phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) and denitrifying phosphorus accumulating organisms (DPAOs) demonstrated that the proportion of DPAOs to PAOs reached 62.6% (Day 86) and 61.8% (Day 65) when using cassava stillage and its anaerobic fermentation liquid, respectively, as the external carbon source. In addition, the nitrate utilization rates (NURs) of the cassava by-products were in the range of 5.49–5.99 g N/(kg MLVSS⋅h) (MLVSS is mixed liquor volatile suspended solids) and 6.63–6.81 g N/(kg MLVSS⋅h), respectively. The improvement in BNR performance and the reduction in the amount of cassava stillage to be treated in-situ make cassava stillage and its anaerobic fermentation liquid attractive alternatives to sodium acetate as external carbon sources for BNR processes.

木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液作为外加碳源强化城市生活污水生物营养盐去除研究

中文概要:
目的:针对目前城市污水处理中普遍存在的进水碳源不足引起的脱氮除磷效率不高的问题,而大量具有很高碳氮比(C/N)和可生物降解有机成分的食品工业废水亟需处理的现状,本文考察了木薯酒精厂废水(木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液)分别作为外加碳源资源化利用的可行性。
创新点:对比考察了木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液分别作为碳源对活性污泥系统脱氮除磷的影响,为处理低C/N比城市污水寻求廉价优质的外加碳源提供理论依据。
方法:通过运行三组平行的厌氧/缺氧/好氧序批式活性污泥反应器(SBR),以乙酸钠作为对比,考察木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液作为碳源对活性污泥系统碳、氮、磷变化规律的影响,并通过硝酸盐利用速率(NUR)和厌氧-缺氧/好氧批次试验对污泥特性进行分析。
结论:(1)在整个试验过程中,与乙酸钠作为碳源相比,木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液在相同的运行条件下取得了更高的总氮(TN)去除率,分别为(72.4±3.2)%和(73.2±2.6)%,高于乙酸钠的(62.6±3.5)%。NUR试验结果表明,木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液污泥的反硝化速率分别为5.49~5.99 g N/(kg MLVSS·h)和6.63~6.81 g N/(kg MLVSS·h),与其他研究中报道的食品工业废水的反硝化速率相当或略高。(2)以木薯酒糟及其厌氧发酵液作为碳源的系统发生了显著的反硝化聚磷现象,两体系中的反硝化聚磷菌分别占总聚磷菌的62.6%(86天)和61.8%(65天)。(3)以木薯酒糟上清液及其厌氧发酵液作为碳源的生物营养盐去除(SBR)系统均取得了良好稳定的脱氮除磷效果。在BNR工艺中投加木薯酒糟及其厌氧碱性发酵液作为外加碳源,不仅可以提高系统氮磷去除效果,还能解决这部分废水的处理问题,是一种很有潜力的替代碳源。
