Description

Coil spring type synchronous nitrogen and phosphorus removal microbial fuel cell based on zero-valent iron 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 capable of synchronously removing nitrogen and phosphorus 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 admitting capability, so that the receiving water body is eutrophicated, aquatic organisms in the water body, particularly algae and some aquatic plants, overgrow and propagate, and the ecological system of the water body is destroyed, thereby losing the proper functions of the water body. Water eutrophication is a prominent global environmental problem, and increasingly serious water eutrophication causes 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 of China, reducing the environmental load of water bodies and improving the quantity and quality of water for human production and living. 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 CNP ratio wastewater, conventional denitrification processes have failed to meet emission standards because the conventional denitrification process requires organics as electron donors. Likewise, conventional biological phosphorus removal processes also typically require organic matter to provide energy materials during biological phosphorus uptake. The shortage of carbon source has become the bottleneck factor for biological denitrification and dephosphorization of town sewage.
In recent years, iron and ferric salts have been widely used in sewage treatment processes, including zero-valent iron, divalent ferric salt, trivalent ferric salt, and the like. Ferrous autotrophic denitrification technology has been successfully implemented in laboratory bench scale equipment, which utilizes ferrous iron salts instead of organics as electron donors for denitrification, but iron salts are consumed in huge amounts.
