强化型人工湿地污水处理研究进展:脱氮机理与温室气体排放

Insights into enhanced constructed wetland for wastewater treatment: nitrogen removal mechanisms and greenhouse gas emissions

  • 摘要: 传统人工湿地(CWs)因电子供体不足易导致体系\mathrmNO_3^- -N去除受限并加剧N2O排放问题。为提高系统反硝化效率,降低温室气体排放量,近年来涌现出电化学强化、改进基质、微生物强化和植物强化四类人工湿地强化技术,但缺少对此类技术的系统性总结。通过统计近5年国内外相关文献,总结四类强化型人工湿地的脱氮效率与机理,探讨人工湿地中温室气体排放规律与减排机制,评估其在多类型污水处理方面的效能与应用前景。结果表明:电化学强化技术〔如微生物燃料电池(MFC)-CWs和微生物电解池(MEC)-CWs〕通过提升电子传递效率,使TN去除率提高4.81%~31.50%,尤其在低C/N条件下表现突出;改进基质技术(如添加生物炭、黄铁矿或锰氧化物)能通过提供吸附位点或电子供体,将\mathrmNO_3^- -N去除率提升至超过80%,但长期运行中填料饱和或消耗可能影响稳定性;植物强化通过根系泌氧和分泌物优化微生物环境,使\mathrmNH_4^+ -N去除率提高约20%;而微生物强化主要用于恢复不利环境条件对CWs的影响。在温室气体减排方面,强化技术能通过抑制产甲烷菌代谢、促进甲烷氧化或优化反硝化路径,使CH4排放量降低45%~93%,N2O排放量减少27%~90%。在多类型污水处理中,人工湿地及其强化技术展现出良好潜力,如外加生物质碳源可将\mathrmNO_3^- -N去除率提升至98%,但可能导致温室气体排放增加。受限于环境条件,各类强化技术的稳定性难以保证,实际工程应用仍需优化与验证,未来需加强多技术协同创新和长期稳定性研究,以实现脱氮与碳中和的双重目标。

     

    Abstract: Due to the lack of electron donors in traditional constructed wetlands (CWs), the removal of \mathrmNO_3^- -N in the system is limited and N2O emissions are exacerbated. To enhance the system's denitrification efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, four types of enhanced CWs technologies have emerged recently: electrochemical enhancement, substrate modification, microbial augmentation, and plant enhancement. However, a systematic summary of these technologies is lacking. This review analyzes literature from the past five years to summarize the nitrogen removal efficiencies and mechanisms associated with these four types of enhanced CWs. It further examines the emission patterns and mitigation mechanisms of GHGs in CWs, and evaluates the efficacy and application potential of these systems for treating various types of wastewater. The results show that electrochemical enhancement technologies (such as MFC-CWs and MEC-CWs) improve the removal rate of TN by 4.81%-31.50%, especially at low C/N, by enhancing electron transfer efficiency. Substrate modification (such as adding biochar, pyrite, or manganese oxide) can raise the removal rate of \mathrmNO_3^- -N to more than 80% by providing adsorption sites or electron donors, but the saturation or consumption of filler may affect the stability in long-term operation. Plant enhancement optimizes the microbial environment through root oxygen release and secretion, which increases the \mathrmNH_4^+ -N removal rate by about 20%. Microbial enhancement is mainly used to mitigate the adverse effects of environmental stress on CWs. In terms of GHG emission reduction, enhanced technologies can reduce CH4 emissions by 45%-93% and N2O emissions by 27%-90%, by inhibiting methanogens, promoting methane oxidation or optimizing denitrification pathways. In the treatment of various types of wastewater, these technologies show considerable potential. For example, the addition of biomass carbon source can increase the removal rate of \mathrmNO_3^- -N to 98%, but may lead to an increase of GHG emissions. Limited by environmental conditions, the stability of enhanced technologies is difficult to maintain. Practical engineering applications still need optimization and validation. Future work should focus on multi-technology synergistic innovation and long-term stability research to achieve both nitrogen removal and carbon neutrality goals.
