SRT对酵母-SBR处理油脂废水稳定性的影响

污泥龄(SRT)是影响废水生物处理系统稳定性的重要参数,SRT对酵母菌处理废水系统的影响尚不明确.为探明SRT对酵母处理油脂废水的影响,在序批式反应器(SBR)中考察了不同SRT(5、10、20、40 d)对废水处理效果、胞外聚合物(EPS)、酵母污泥沉降性的影响,并通过PCR-DGGE及克隆测序方法解析了系统中的酵母菌群落结构.结果表明:酵母菌处理油脂废水合适的SRT为5~10 d;较长SRT会导致COD去除率降低及污泥中EPS总量下降;酵母污泥中EPS以紧密型EPS为主,主要成分为多糖;5~40 d范围内的SRT对系统中酵母污泥的污泥容积指数(SVI)影响不显著,但系统在长的SRT(20d)下运行会导致系统中丝状细胞明显增多,有丝状菌性膨胀的趋势;长、短SRT下酵母群落结构相似,系统中都出现了3株可以利用或者降解油脂的外源性酵母菌株.综上结果,短SRT有利于酵母处理油脂废水系统的运行稳定性.

Effect of SRT on Stability of Yeast-SBR in Treating Oil-containing Wastewater

Sludge retention time(SRT) is a crucial parameter to influence the stability of biological wastewater treatment systems. Especially, the effects of SRT on yeast-wastewater treatment remain unclear. In this study, mixtures of yeast strains were applied to treat oil-containing wastewater in sequencing batch reactors(SBR) and the effects of sludge retention time(SRT as 5, 10, 20, 40 d) on the removal efficiency of pollutants, contents and composition of extracellular polymeric substances(EPS), yeast cells settleability and yeast communities were investigated. The results showed that the recommended SRT was 5-10 d for the yeast-SBR system; Higher SRT led to decrease of COD removal rate and content of EPS; the tightly-bounded EPS was the major one which consisted of polysaccharides. SRT of 5-40 d had no significant effects on the SVI of yeast cells, however, longer SRT (>20 d) resulted in the increase of mycelial cells and a tendency to produce the filamentous bulking. In the continuous operation of SBR, three extraneous yeast strains capable of utilizing or degrading oil were identified in the systems under the short and long SRT. To conclude, shorter SRT was favorable for the system stability in treating oil-containing wastewater by yeasts.
