Effect of Different Modification Methods on Biofilm Characteristics and Treatment Effect of Contaminated Raw Water in Biological Sand Filters
Amino-modified sand(AMS)and aluminium-calcium double hydroxide modified sand(CAS)were pro-duced by modifying ordinary quartz sand(QS)with amino and aluminium-calcium double hydroxide,and QS,AMS and CAS were used as filter media to fill the filter cell for membrane suspension respectively.The results show that the high-est bioactivity of 42.00 mgO2/(g·h),the highest biofilm amount and extracellular polymer content of 12.43 mg/g and 105.09 mg/(g·SS),respectively,were obtained on the CAS surface after successful membrane suspension,and the re-moval rates of CODCr and NH4+-N were stable at 58.20% and 89.50%,respectively.The bioactivity,biofilm volume and average EPS content of the AMS surface were 32.97 mgO2/(g·h),9.07 mg/g and 93.41 mg/(g·SS),respectively,and the removal rates of CODCr and NH4-N were 54.60% and 85.10%,respectively.The surface biomass distribution of all three quartz sand species decreased along the direction of water flow,and the content of EPS showed an increasing trend from dissolved extracellular polymer(SL-EPS)to tightly adherent extracellular polymer(TB-EPS).
