包埋固定化微生物厌氧反应器启动特性研究

为克服难降解废水厌氧微生物反应器启动初期生物易流失和启动过程缓慢的缺点,将厌氧絮状污泥进行固定化包埋作为厌氧反应器的接种污泥处理有毒难降解的PTA废水,同时考察固定化细菌在厌氧反应器启动过程中的变化特性.结果表明,经过136 d的运行,反应器在COD有机负荷为3 kg.(m3.d)-1,水力停留时间为3~4 d的运行条件下,PTA废水的COD去除率可以达到75%~85%,且系统具有比较好的稳定性和生物量保持能力.另一方面,胞外聚合物(EPS)的变化、产甲烷菌DNA特异性扩增和包埋颗粒的扫描电镜观察结果表明,虽然包埋载体在一定程度上限制了传质速度,但包埋颗粒中的厌氧微生物在微生物相和数量上都仍有显著的变化和增长.

Start-up Characteristics of the Anaerobic Reactor Seeded with Immobilized Microorganisms

In order to overcome the disadvantages of the anaerobic reactor such as slow growth and long start-up, the flocculent anaerobic sludge was embedded and used as the seed sludge in the anaerobic treatment of PTA wastewater with the objective of keeping biomass in the reactor. The start-up characteristics of the UASB reactor were investigated. During the 136 days' running, COD removal rate of PTA wastewater achieved 75%-85% at the volumetric loading rate (COD) of 3 kg·(m~3·d)~(-1) and the hydraulic retention time (HRT)of 3-4 day. The anaerobic system had good stability and biomass retaining ability. On the other hand, variations of EPS,SEM observation and methanogens DNA in sludge granules verified the growth of immobilized bacteria in both quantity and microorganism morphology, although mass transfer through the immobilization media was to some degree limited.
