Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the removal of organic acids and / or aromatic compounds in aqueous media for the purpose of treatment, recovery and / or recycling as process water.
  • the present invention enables a very efficient treatment of partially heavily contaminated process water for a controlled in-process recirculation.
  • the invention may, under certain circumstances, together with further purification steps, also be used for the efficient treatment of contaminated process water for subsequent disposal.
  • the recirculation of a materially polluted process water often causes an impairment of the production process, for example, by a decreasing pH in the accumulation of organic acids.
  • increasing acid concentrations such as acetic and lactic acid or, for example, aromatic compounds such as cresols and phenols often lead to the inhibition of metabolic activity.
  • the traceable volume flow of such polluted process waters is thus limited by the content of foreign and / or impurities in the process water. If critical concentrations are exceeded, the potential of process water recycling can not be fully exploited. In practice, at least a proportionate replacement of the theoretically available process water by fresh water takes place in order to avoid critical concentrations of foreign substances and contaminants.
  • Solids often cause nonspecific adsorption and / or a clogging example of membranes and cause in this way a disturbance of the process water conditioning, which must be counteracted with increased technical and economic effort.
  • there is an upstream mechanical separation of the solids for example by centrifugation.
  • the regeneration of membranes and / or disposal of the process water-extracted substances for example in the form of sludges after precipitation reactions.
  • the main component of wastewater treatment is the aerobic stage, in which substances contained in the water are microbially oxidized.
  • the biodegradable substances contained in the waste water are proportionally converted into carbon dioxide and water as well as into separable sludge biomass.
  • the oxygen required for this process is supplied to the medium under high, technical and energy expense, usually by introducing air.
  • a disadvantage of classical aerobic wastewater treatment is the non-specific and almost complete oxidation of the substances contained.
  • nitrogen compounds are also microbially oxidized to nitrate. Depending on the composition of a process water to be treated such oxidation is associated with very high oxygen demand. This must be supplied by introducing air with high energy requirements.
  • nitrate and / or nitrite in the process water treatment and subsequent recycling of this water even lead to negative effects.
  • fermentation processes can be inhibited.
  • a denitrification is necessary, in which the nitrate formed is biologically reduced to molecular nitrogen.
  • biological denitrification is associated with further apparatus engineering and energy expenditure.
  • the activated sludge produced in the aerobic stage can be used under anaerobic conditions for biogas production and energy production.
  • the decomposition of organic substance in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic) essentially to carbon dioxide and methane.
  • anaerobic treatment For the treatment of wastewater or process water, direct anaerobic treatment is also possible.
  • a disadvantage of the anaerobic treatment is that in particular aromatic compounds are not or only partially degraded in the absence of oxygen. In technically relevant periods these substances would remain almost unchanged in the process water and be enriched during a continuous recirculation without the discharge of partial streams.
  • WO2004113549A1 described.

It is described that the recirculation of process water has a cost-reducing effect, but is limited by substrate treatment inhibiting substances such as acetic acid, furfurals and phenolic acids. The concentrations of corresponding substances can be reduced to such an extent by aerobic and anaerobic treatment that process inhibition is no longer present. It is not described in this publication how such an aerobic treatment can be designed. It is therefore to be assumed that this is a state-of-the-art aerobic wastewater treatment.

  • the air so the oxygen-containing gas (103) is passed from the environment via at least one compressor (13) and the gas supply with the necessary form to the ejector.
  • a good mass transfer of the oxygen is achieved in the liquid.
  • the mass transfer is favored by a mixing of the reactor contents, for example by one or more mixers (6). These may be, for example, laterally arranged propeller stirrers.
  • a circulation (7) of the reactor contents and thus a good metabolic rate are achieved.
  • the microorganisms required for the degradation of the aromatic compounds are continuously fed to the process with the fermentation residue. These are various facultative anaerobes. These absorb the oxygen introduced into the liquid and oxidize the aromatic impurities. Within certain limits, the system has a self-regulating effect, since it is exactly the bacteria that reproduce which are able to live particularly well with the supplied impurities as a substrate in the existing process conditions.
  • the pH determined by the feed is usually in a favorable range for the bacteria degrading the impurities. However, it is of course possible, for example, to influence the pH value in the reactor (8) by a preceding conditioning of the fermentation residue.
  • the temperature in the reactor results from the temperatures of the incoming streams and the heat of reaction released during the oxidation reaction and the heat losses of the system. Due to the released reaction enthalpy of the oxidation reaction, depending on the content of impurities to be converted in the feed, a significant temperature rise of more than 10-15 Kelvin can occur in the system. It is possible to operate the degradation process at mesophilic as well as thermophilic conditions. In the case of deviations between the temperature which arises and the temperature which is favorable for the microbial conversion, it is possible, in an advantageous embodiment of the method, to install suitable process-engineering heat transfer technology. This can be done for example via a temperature of the incoming streams and / or by tempering the reactor contents.
  • the process is operated in the suboxic range at very low levels of dissolved oxygen to selectively remove predominantly the impurities and not oxidize other organic and / or inorganic constituents or only to a very limited extent.
  • Advantageously controllable is the method of controlling the redox value in the reactor. With the measuring device (9), the redox value is measured in the reactor. By maintaining a redox value of less than 0 mV, preferably less than -100 mV, it is possible to suppress most of the oxidation reactions, such as the oxidation of ammonium to nitrate, while the oxidation of the aromatic impurities is realized. As a result, the required air volumes are significantly lower compared to classic aerobic wastewater treatment processes.
  • the regulation of the redox value takes place by adjusting the supplied air quantities and / or the inflow quantities.
  • ammonium to nitrate The oxidation of ammonium to nitrate is not significant at these process conditions. Only through the gas flow through the reactor portions of the ammonium are discharged in the form of ammonia. This ammonia can be recovered from the exhaust (104) by a downstream condenser and / or scrubber. The content of ammonium nitrogen of the effluent (102) is temperature- and pH-dependent at over 90% of the content in the feed.
  • the exhaust gas discharged from the reactor via the exhaust gas outlet (4) contains significant amounts of carbon dioxide in accordance with the effluent reactions.
  • the average residence time of the feed in the reactor is up to 30 days, preferably about 15 days, more preferably less than 10 days.
  • the conversion of impurities is usually limited by the mass transfer of oxygen from the gaseous to the liquid phase and not by the degradation reaction itself.
  • the freed from the impurities, drained from the system process contains in addition to the predominant proportion of nitrogen also almost the same amount of fiber and a total of only slightly reduced compared to the feed TS.
  • the COD degradation during the selective oxidation is, depending on the composition of the feed and the content of impurities not more than 50%, preferably not more than 30%, more preferably not more than 20%, most preferably not more than 15%.
  • the process is run directly or after conditioning as recirculated into the bioethanol plant.
