Description

Zero-valent iron-based coil spring type microbial fuel cell capable of synchronously removing nitrogen and phosphorus and working method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial fuel cells, and particularly relates to a zero-valent iron-based coil spring type microbial fuel cell for synchronous nitrogen and phosphorus removal and a working method thereof.
Background
The amount of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and the like discharged into the natural water body exceeds the water body accepting capacity, so that the accepting water body is eutrophicated, aquatic organisms, particularly algae and some aquatic plants in the water body excessively grow and propagate, and the water body ecological system is damaged, so that the water body loses due functions. The eutrophication of water is a prominent global environmental problem, and the increasingly serious eutrophication of water brings great negative effects on human life, production and the whole ecological system.
The construction of sewage treatment plants is an effective method for reducing the sewage discharge amount in China, reducing the environmental load of water bodies and improving the quantity and quality of water for production and living of human beings. The biological wastewater treatment technology is the mainstream technology of modern town sewage treatment. The concentration of the organic matters in the wastewater after biological treatment basically reaches the standard, but the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus still exceeds the standard. For such low C: N: P ratio wastewater, conventional denitrification processes have failed to meet emission standards because conventional denitrification processes require organic matter as an electron donor. Similarly, conventional biological phosphorus removal processes typically require organic matter to provide an energy source during biological phosphorus uptake. The shortage of carbon source has become a bottleneck factor for biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal of town sewage.
In recent years, iron and iron salts have been widely used in sewage treatment processes, including zero-valent iron, ferrous salts, and ferric salts. The ferrous autotrophic denitrification technology has been successfully realized in laboratory devices, and the technology utilizes ferrous salt to replace organic matters as an electron donor for denitrification, but the consumption of the ferric salt is huge.
