Description

Organic wastewater BOD detection device and application and method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of water quality monitoring, and particularly relates to an organic wastewater BOD detection device and application and a method thereof.
Background
Organic pollutants are a main aspect of water body pollution, and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a comprehensive index reflecting the content of the organic pollutants in water and is also a key index for measuring water quality to ensure environmental safety and human health. The current national standard method is the traditional five-day biochemical method, however, the method is a time-consuming and labor-consuming technology, and a great deal of time is consumed in the response process. In addition, the limitation factor is the complicated operation, low reproducibility, high maintenance cost, generation of a large amount of waste, and the like. Therefore, the method is not suitable for process control and real-time monitoring of the water environment in daily wastewater (such as urban wastewater, domestic sewage and underground water) treatment, and the method is greatly developed, can be directly applied to water environment sites and real-time biochemical oxygen demand monitoring technology, promotes the current wastewater treatment method, and is of great significance in contributing to the protection of water resources.
The automatic on-line monitoring based on the real-time biochemical oxygen demand value developed in recent years can effectively reflect the water quality change process and measure the water quality condition, and is more ideal compared with the traditional BOD detection process. Many biochemical oxygen demand biosensors aimed at shortening the measurement time have been developed, including biosensors based on bacterial respiration, fixed bacterial oxygen consumption, enzymatic reactions in dead cells, and bioluminescence. These biosensors measure the biochemical oxygen demand in a short time, about 15 minutes to 1 hour, and show a high correlation with the biochemical oxygen demand. However, most of these methods are complicated and the measurements are performed ex situ and do not reflect real-time changes in water quality. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop a new technique with simple operation, time saving and strong universality to monitor BOD in a water sample in real time. Among them, the research of BOD sensors based on the operating principle of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) has also been focused on by researchers in recent years.
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are devices that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy using microorganisms as anode catalysts. The MFCs can directly degrade organic matters in water or sludge while converting electrons generated from the organic matters in a microbial metabolism process into electric signals, thereby obtaining electric energy. MFCs biosensors have significant advantages over other different types of biosensors; the device has the advantages of small volume, quick response, high accuracy, better repeatability, capability of realizing continuous on-line monitoring, no need of sample pretreatment and the like, simple and quick whole determination process, realization of automatic analysis, and realization of the advantages in the MFCs biosensing technology. Meanwhile, the MFCs biosensor can perform biosensing by utilizing an electric signal, fully utilizes weak electric energy generated by the MFCs, realizes real-time online monitoring of organic wastewater, and has certain practical application value. Therefore, the MFCs biosensing technology has good comprehensiveness, stability and energy recovery and wide application prospect.
Various researches in the related art show that the BOD concentration in the wastewater is in a linear relationship with the electrical signals output by the MFCs within a certain range. However, the BOD detection device in the related art has many defects of poor stability, low accuracy and the like, so that it cannot meet the requirement of rapid and accurate BOD detection in the actual wastewater monitoring and treatment process.

First, the cation exchange membrane was placed in 5 wt% H 2 O 2 Soaking in water at 80 deg.c in constant temperature water bath for 1 hr to oxidize and clean the surface impurity of the cationic film; taking out the film, placing the film in deionized water, and carrying out water bath at the constant temperature of 80 ℃ for 1 h; then taking out the film, putting the film into a 10 wt% nitric acid solution, and carrying out constant-temperature water bath for 1h at the same temperature of 80 ℃; finally, putting the mixture into deionized water, and carrying out water bath at the constant temperature of 80 ℃ for 1 h; and placing the treated cation exchange membrane in ultrapure water for storage and standby.
The sludge inoculated by the electrogenic microorganisms is sludge in an anaerobic section of a secondary sedimentation tank of a certain sewage treatment plant in Jiangmen (the anaerobic sludge is in a black particle state, and the sludge taken back by a plastic barrel is placed in a 105 laboratory of the continuing education college for sealed preservation). In the starting stage of the MFCs, artificial wastewater with the BOD concentration of 500mg/L and containing the anode nutrient solution is used as inoculation liquid. Anaerobic sludge and inoculation liquid are put into a conical flask according to the volume ratio of 1:1 and sealed by a preservative film. And the pretreatment comprises the following steps: placing the mixed solution in a constant-temperature shaking table with the speed of 100rpm and the temperature of 35 ℃ for oscillation for 24h, introducing nitrogen to remove redundant dissolved oxygen before injecting the mixed solution into the anode chamber of the MFCs, intermittently injecting the inoculation solution into the anode chamber of the MFCs by adopting a peristaltic pump, suspending sample injection after the anode chamber is filled with the inoculation solution, and re-injecting the sample after the organic matters in the anode chamber are consumed by the microorganisms (namely, the voltage is firstly increased to reach the maximum value, then the voltage is slowly reduced to the reference value, and then the anode nutrient solution is replaced again to perform second period measurement). The electron acceptor used by the cathode of the MFCs during start-up is K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ]The cathode potassium ferricyanide solution is replaced by one day in a period, and the potassium ferricyanide solution is prepared and used each time. The external resistor is 1000 omega, the voltage generated by the MFCs and the maximum value and the average value of the voltage every day are continuously recorded, and when the maximum value and the average value of the voltage in each period are stable, the starting voltage curve has no obvious change, so that the MFC is proved to be in a state of being in a stable state S The start-up was successful, i.e. the anode carbon felt had been enriched with sufficient electrogenic microorganisms. The specific test process is as follows:
inoculating anaerobic active granular sludge into the MFCs and feeding the MFCs by taking artificial wastewater as nutrient solution, wherein after the anode inoculation of the MFCs is replaced each time, chemical energy is converted into electric energy in the process of degrading organic matters by electrogenic microorganisms due to sufficient nutrient substances in the early stage, and the voltage of the MFCs gradually rises to a peak value; with the gradual reduction of nutrients and the continuous accumulation of metabolites, the voltage of the MFCs has a tendency of sharp drop; eventually the nutrients slowly deplete and the voltage slowly drops to baseline. The voltage peaks per cycle of MFCs are shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, as the start-up time increases, the voltage peaks of the MFCs gradually increase and gradually stabilize, and the start-up voltage peaks are about 550 mV. And at 96h, the starting voltage of the MFCs basically reaches a stable value, which indicates that enough electrogenesis microbial communities are enriched on the carbon felt of the anode chamber, and the MFCs device is successfully started. Because the nutrients in the artificial sewage are sufficient, the anaerobic sludge is injected into the artificial sewage, the artificial sewage is fully and uniformly mixed with the anaerobic sludge after oscillation at constant temperature, and the inoculation liquid is replaced in time in each period, the device can be started successfully within 96h (192 h is required if the inoculation of the non-pretreated microorganisms is adopted)
The open circuit voltage of MFCs is one of the important indicators for measuring the performance of batteries. And when the MFCs reactor is successfully started, disconnecting the external resistor to change the device from a closed loop to an open circuit state and keeping the device in the open circuit state for 1h, then using an electrochemical workstation to measure the open circuit voltage, wherein in the measuring process, the working electrode clamps the anode, the reference electrode and the auxiliary electrode clamps the cathode, the time is set to 3600s, the sampling interval is 10s, and the open circuit voltage of the MFCs at the time of starting for 96h is measured, and the result is shown in FIG. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, the open circuit voltage of the MFCs reactor tends to be stable around 20min, and is about 624mV, which indicates that the MFCs is successfully started and the device has good stability.
In the above-mentioned apparatus, the operating principle of the microbial fuel reactor is as shown in fig. 6:
the MFCs are devices which take microorganisms as anode catalysts and can directly convert chemical energy of degradable organic matters in wastewater into electric energy. The device consists of load microorganisms (mainly electrogenesis bacteria), an anode and a cathode, and the working process can be summarized as follows: the anode organic matter generates proton and electron under the action of the oxidation decomposition of microbe, and the electron passes throughRespiratory enzymes (NADH) and NAD + Transferring in cell, and transferring to anode via wire, membrane protein contact or electron mediator and other extracellular electron transfer mechanism, transferring to cathode via external circuit, transferring proton in electrolyte from anode chamber to cathode chamber driven by electric field force and concentration difference, and transferring electron and proton to electron acceptor [ Fe (CN) 6 ] 3- A reduction reaction takes place.
The theoretical potential of the microbial fuel cell is as follows:
anode: c 6 H 12 O 6 +6H 2 O=24e - +24H + +6CO 2 E 0 0.428V (formula 1-1)
Cathode: [ Fe (CN) 6 ] 3- +e - =[Fe(CN) 6 ] 4- E 0 0.361V (formula 1-2)
The invention reduces the volume of the reactor to 14ml, shortens the electrode spacing to 2cm, adopts carbon felt as an electrode material to replace expensive metal catalyst, adopts titanium wire with better corrosion resistance as a lead, reduces the influence on the activity of the microorganism, thereby obtaining the MFCs type BOD detection device with high sensitivity, high stability and wide monitoring range, being used for on-line or off-line determination of BOD value in organic wastewater, and greatly improving the monitoring level.
The embodiment also provides the application of the device in online or offline BOD monitoring of the organic wastewater. In the online or offline BOD monitoring of the organic wastewater, the device with the structure of the embodiment of the invention has good application effect. By optimizing the configuration of the device, selecting low-cost electrode materials and membrane materials, reducing the use of noble metal catalysts, reasonably processing the electrode materials and the membrane materials, adopting potassium ferricyanide as a cathode electron acceptor, and utilizing anaerobic granular sludge as an inoculation liquid to enrich electroactive microorganisms, the start-up time of MFCs is shortened, the high stability and wide applicability of the MFCs type BOD detection device are realized, and the BOD real-time online monitoring of organic wastewater is realized.
Example 2
The embodiment provides a method for detecting BOD of organic wastewater, which adopts the device constructed by the embodiment to detect, and the specific process is as follows: and adding a water sample to be detected into the anode chamber of the detection device, measuring the output voltage generated by the detection device, and substituting the voltage value into a linear equation to calculate the BOD value.
The linear equation (BOD standard curve) is plotted as follows:
GGA solutions (commercially available, diluted with 0.1MPBS (pH 7.0) solution) with different standard BOD concentrations (50, 100, 200, 300, 500mg/L) are prepared, the BOD concentrations are detected by an MFCs reactor, output voltage (U) and response time (T) are respectively recorded, and linear fitting is carried out on the voltage peak value and the BOD concentrations of artificial sewage to obtain a corresponding linear equation, namely a BOD standard curve, as shown in FIG. 7. As can be seen from fig. 7, the linear equation is y ═ 0.9635x +52.1914, R 2 =0.9967。
The water sample to be tested is a simulated sample, and specifically is artificial sewage with different BOD concentrations (50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000mg/L) (prepared according to the concentrations in the above, wherein each liter of artificial sewage contains 0.375g/L glucose, 0.375g/L glutamic acid, 0.1mol/L phosphate buffer solution (0.1M PBS, pH 7.0), 12.5mL/L trace mineral solution and 5mL/L vitamin solution (the formulas of the phosphate buffer solution, the trace mineral solution and the vitamin solution are shown in tables 1-3).
The detection result of the analog sample of 50-500 mg/L BOD is shown in FIG. 8, and it can be seen from FIG. 8 that after AWW with different BOD concentrations is injected into the anode chamber, the electrogenic microorganisms on the anode electrode rapidly start to degrade organic matters to generate voltage, and the voltage value rises to the maximum value in a short time; as the BOD concentration increases, more organic matter can be degraded by the microorganisms, resulting in a larger voltage value. When the BOD concentration is >500mg/L, the voltage maximum gradually deviates from the linear relationship and is lower than the theoretical value. When the concentration of organic matters exceeds the requirement of microorganisms, the proton transfer efficiency is not increased linearly any more due to the limitation of the number of the microorganisms on the anode carbon felt and the area of the cation exchange membrane; meanwhile, the continuous increase of the BOD concentration may cause the accumulation of metabolic products such as organic acid in the system, leading to the acidification of the anode chamber, causing a great concentration difference, leading the electron acceptor of the cathode to reach the anode through the cation exchange membrane, thereby influencing the activity of electrogenesis microorganisms on the anode carbon felt, reducing the electron transfer rate between the cathode and the anode, and leading to the gradual decrease of the maximum voltage value. Therefore, when the BOD concentration of the wastewater is 50-500 mg/L, the BOD concentration of the wastewater can be detected by using the maximum voltage generated by the MFCs. Aiming at organic wastewater with the BOD concentration of below 500mg/L, the BOD mass concentration of a sample to be measured can be accurately measured without dilution, only simple sample introduction operation is needed, the output voltage signal value of the device is directly read through program control software connected with a universal meter, and the BOD mass concentration of the sample to be measured can be calculated according to the obtained BOD standard curve linear equation.
To verify the detection conditions, different detection conditions were verified:
1) effect of BOD concentration of anode nutrient solution on microbial activity: the electrogenic bacteria cultured anaerobically are subjected to curve scanning by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) in a voltage stabilization period to evaluate the electrochemical activity of the electrode biofilm. The study performed CV curve scanning on anode solutions to be tested with different concentrations. Tests show that the oxidation peak and the reduction peak obtained by scanning the CV curve are more obvious along with the increase of the concentration of the liquid to be detected, and the peak value does not obviously change after the concentration exceeds a certain concentration. The test results of 50-500 mg/LBOD are shown in FIG. 9, and it can be seen from FIG. 9 that the solutions to be tested with different concentrations have a greater influence on the activity of the anode electrogenic bacteria, the higher the solution concentration is, the larger the area of the CV curve is, the greater the electron transfer amount is, the stronger the electron transfer capability of the electrode is, and the stronger the microbial activity is. And the obtained curve shows that the electrogenic bacteria enriched on the anode carbon felt have good electrochemical activity and can be used for carrying out the next experiment when the concentration of the anolyte is within the range of the scheme of the invention.
2) The influence of different external resistances on the detection effect:
the external resistor when the output power of the MFCs is maximum can improve the BOD detection accuracy. Measuring the output voltage (U) of the MFCs under the condition of connecting different external resistors (Rext), taking GGA solution with BOD concentration of 300mg/L as MFCs anolyte, and calculating the power density (P) of the MFCs under different external resistors (external resistance values are respectively 100, 200, 330, 510, 680, 1000, 1200 and 1500 omega) according to the following formula:
P=U 2 /Rext*A
in the formula: and A is the surface area of the anode carbon felt electrode.
The test results are shown in fig. 10. As can be seen from FIG. 10, the power density increased first with the increase of the resistance, and 68mW/m of the maximum power density was reached when the external resistance reached 1000. omega 2 Then the power density starts to decrease with further increase of the external resistance. This may be because the high external resistance limits the electron absorption through the circuit. Therefore, the external resistance is preferably 1000 Ω to ensure the maximum output power density of the MFCs.
3) Influence of different pH on the detection effect:
the BOD concentration of the anode nutrient solution and the pH value of the anode nutrient solution are changed, the influence of the anode nutrient solution on the performance of the MFCs is researched, and the optimal BOD detection condition and detection range are determined.
pH is an important factor in biochemical reactions, and either too high or too low can affect anode chamber microbial activity, resulting in failure of MFCs reactors. Meanwhile, in the process of decomposing organic matters by microorganisms, substances such as organic acid and the like can be generated, and the pH value of the solution is reduced. Therefore, a buffer solution of a certain concentration should be added to the water sample to control the pH of the solution. The GGA solution with BOD of 300mg/L is used as anolyte, an external resistor is connected with the anolyte by 1000 omega, the influence of the GGA solution with the pH value of 3.0-10.0 on the output voltage and the power density of the MFCs reactor is examined, and the test result is shown in figure 11. As can be seen from fig. 11, the output voltage of the MFCs is the highest at pH 7.0, the power density is also the highest, and the signal stabilization time is the longest, which is most beneficial for the detection result. Therefore, the pH value of the solution should be adjusted to about 7.0 during the later detection process, which is most beneficial to the growth of microorganisms.
4) And (3) testing the stability:
stability is one of the essential factors that must be considered in the long-term operation of MFCs type BOD detection devices. As shown in fig. 12, the stability of the MFCs type BOD detection device was achieved by continuously operating 50, 100, 200, 300, 500mg/L BOD for more than 15 days, respectively. As can be seen from FIG. 12, the voltage output signal values of the MFCs type BOD detection device during the test are stable for BODs of different concentrations, and the average voltages corresponding to BODs of different concentrations are 101.27mV (50mg/L), 168.93mV (100mg/L), 241.67mV (200mg/L), 346.87mV (300mg/L) and 544.67mV (500mg/L), with standard deviations of + -5.31% (50mg/L), + -4.61% (100mg/L), + -4.80% (200mg/L), + -5.11% (300mg/L) and + -5.40% (500mg/L), respectively. The test results still maintained high stability for months thereafter. Therefore, the scheme device and the detection condition have stable and reliable detection results.
In the test process, the response speed of the electric signal of the device in the embodiment of the invention to the BOD concentration (50-500 mg/L) of the organic wastewater is higher, the shortest response time is 5min, the longest response time is not more than 180min, and the detection result of the actual domestic wastewater and the BOD are found 5 And the relative error is within 5.0 percent. This result provides the possibility of practical application of MFCs type BOD biosensors in real-time measurement.
