Pyrite activated peroxymonosulfate combined with as a physical-chemical conditioner modified biochar to improve sludge dewaterability: analysis of sludge floc structure and dewatering mechanism.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we proposed an advanced oxidation process of pyrite (FeS₂) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and prepared a modified polyaluminum chloride biochar (P-BC). The motivation is to use the combination of FeS₂ + PMS + P-BC to improve waste activated sludge (WAS) dewaterability. The method to improve the sludge dewatering effect with the combination of FeS₂ + PMS + P-BC is as follows: in the first step, pour 0.75 g/g TSS FeS₂ and 0.6 g/g TSS PMS into the sludge, and stir for 15 min. Then, add P-BC and stir for 5 min; complete the entire WAS processing process. The vacuum filtration test was used to evaluate the dehydration effect. The water content (Wc) and specific resistance to filtration (SRF) of the raw sludge can be reduced from the original values of 92% and 2.36 × 10¹³ m/kg to 67% and 9.89 × 10¹¹ m/kg, respectively. The results showed that the combination of FeS₂ + PMS + P-BC can effectively improve the sludge dewatering effect through oxidation. A laser particle size analyzer is used to observe changes in sludge particle size. The median diameter of sludge particles increased from 55.37 to 64.56 μm. A zeta analyzer to is used observe changes in sludge zeta potential. The zeta potential of sludge particles increased from - 15.8 to 0.4 mV. In the analysis of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of sludge, it was found that protein (PN) and polysaccharide (PS) in EPS decreased significantly. To further analyze the phenomenon of PN and PS drop, excitation-emission-matrix spectra (3D-EEM) was used. To observe the changes of sludge functional group, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used. It was found that FeS₂ + PMS + P-BC can destroy the functional groups of sludge, such as O-H, C-C, and O═C-NH- related to proteins and polysaccharides.

Project description:BackgroundBacterial floc formation plays a central role in the activated sludge (AS) process. The formation of AS flocs has long been known to require exopolysaccharide biosynthesis. We had demonstrated that both expolysaccharides and PEP-CTERM (a short C-terminal domain includes a near-invariant motif Pro-Glu-Pro (PEP)) proteins were required for floc-forming in Zoogloea resiniphila MMB, a dominant AS bacterium. However, the PEP-CTERM proteins are not encoded in the genome of AS bacterium Shinella zoogloeoides ATCC 19623 (formerly known as Zoogloea ramigera I-16-M) and other sequenced AS bacteria strains. The mechanism underlying floc formation of Shinella and related AS bacteria remained largely unclear.ResultsIn this study, we have sequenced and annotated the complete genome of S. zoogloeoides ATCC 19623 (aka I-16-M), previously isolated in USA and treated as the neotype for the AS floc-forming bacterium Zoogloea ramigera I-16-M, and another AS strain XJ20 isolated in China. Mariner transposon mutagenesis had been conducted to isolate floc-forming-deficient mutants in the strain ATCC 19623 as previously performed by using Tn5 transposon three decades ago. The transposon insertional sites of multiple mutants were mapped to the gene cluster for bacterial cellulose synthesis (bcs) and secretion, and the role played by these genes in floc-formation had been further confirmed by genetic complementation. Interestingly, the restriction map of this bcs locus-flanking region was highly similar to that of the previously identified DNA fragment required for floc-formation in 1980s. Cellulase treatment abolished the floc-forming phenotype of S. zoogloeoides ATCC 19623 but not that of Z. resiniphila MMB strain. The FTIR spectral analyses revealed that the samples extracted from S. zoogloeoides ATCC 19623 were cellulose polymer.ConclusionOur results indicated that we have largely reproduced and completed the unfinished pioneering work on AS floc-formation mechanism, demonstrating that the floc-formation and flocculating capability of Shinella were mediated by extracellular cellulose polymers.
