Effect of Different Valent Iron on Performance of Activated Sludge
In order to improve pollutant removal efficiency of the conventional activated sludge process, the effect of different valent irons on the performance of activated sludge was investigated. Fe0, Fe( Ⅱ ) and Fe( Ⅲ ) were added to SBR reactor respectively to analyze the biomass, activity and sedimentation performance of activated sludge. The results showed that with the interaction of iron,the biomass of activated sludge and flocculation settling performance were improved. The effect of sponge iron (Fe0 ) was the best. Compared with the traditional activated sludge process,the MLSS,MLVSS,specific oxygen consumption rate, dehydrogenase activity were increased by 2 424 mg/L,738 mg/L, 28.4% and 84.6% respectively, and SVI was reduced to 87 mL/g. The improvement of activated sludge performance was conducive to improving effluent quality. The average removal rates of COD, ammonia nitrogen and TP in the sponge iron SBR reactor were 13.3%,7.6% and 52.8% higher than the traditional activated sludge process respectively and all three indexes reached the urban sewage A discharge standards.
