间歇曝气对垂直潜流人工湿地脱氮效果的影响

采用单级垂直潜流湿地处理城镇污水厂沉砂池出水,通过提高湿地出水水位控制淹没水深作为缺氧区;并在湿地反应柱下部安装穿孔曝气管,从而在湿地上部创造好氧环境.通过优化间歇曝气的曝气时间与间歇时间比例(间歇曝气比例)以及间歇曝气周期两个参数来提高湿地脱氮效率.结果表明,随着间歇曝气比例增大,湿地对COD和NH~+_4-N的去除率逐渐升高,而TN去除率有先升高后下降的趋势,当曝气比例为3∶1时,缺氧段污水碳氮比(C/N)值达到4.8,TN去除率达到最高为62.1%,较连续曝气提高了12.7%,出水质量浓度为15.8 mg·L~(-1).随着间歇曝气周期的延长,出水DO质量浓度逐渐降低,COD和NH~+_4-N去除率也逐渐降低,TN去除率在周期为6 h时达到最大为65.5%,当曝气周期超过湿地缺氧段水力停留时间时,TN去除率迅速下降.

Effect of Intermittent Aeration on Nitrogen Removal Efficiency in Vertical Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland

One-stage vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands(CWs) were used to treat effluent from grit chamber in municipal wastewater treatment plant. The CW was divided into aerobic zone and anoxic zone by means of raising the effluent level and installing a perforated pipe. Two parameters (the ratio of aeration time and nonaeration time, aeration cycle) were optimized in the experiment to enhance nitrogen removal efficiency. The results suggested that the removal rates of COD and NH₄⁺-N increased while TN showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increasing ratio. When the ratio was 3 :1, the C/N value in the anoxic zone was 4.8. And the TN effluent concentration was 15.8 mg ·L^-1 with the highest removal rate (62.1%), which was increased by 12.7% compared with continuous aeration. As the extension of the aeration cycle, the DO effluent concentration as well as the removal rates of COD and NH₄⁺-N declined gradually. The TN removal rate reached the maximum (65.5%) when the aeration cycle was 6h. However, the TN removal rate dropped rapidly when the cycle exceeded the hydraulic retention time in the anoxic zone.
