  • Patent number: 11511472
    Abstract: The invention, belonging to the field of biological treatment of pollutants and functional materials, presents a method for the preparation of biofilm carrier with biochar fixed by thermoplastic resin. Extrusion grade polyethylene/polypropylene particles are used as the basic material. One or some combination of plant biochar, straw biochar, rice husk biochar, shell biochar, excess sludge and animal waste biochar are used as the functional material. The biofilm carrier with biochar fixed by thermoplastic resin is prepared by the screw extrusion process, which is a simple, flexible and controllable method, and possesses strong adaptability. The reactor with these biofilm carriers has high removal efficiency of refractory organic pollutants.

  • Patent number: 10968125
    Abstract: The invention, belonging to the field of biological treatment of pollutants and functional materials, presents a non-dissolved redox mediator biofilm carrier and its preparation method. The graphene oxide and/or carbonylation modified graphene oxide are used as the non-dissolved redox mediator, which is called as the functional material, and the extrusion grade polyethylene/polypropylene particles are used as the basic material. The non-dissolved redox mediator biofilm carrier is prepared by the screw extrusion process, which is a simple, flexible and controllable method, and possesses strong adaptability. The reactor with these biofilm carriers has high removal efficiency of refractory organic pollutants.

  • Publication number: 20200156975
    Abstract: A method of upgrading the activated sludge process based on functional suspended carriers in the wastewater biological treatment process. The reaction zone of the original activated sludge process is divided into an aerobic zone, anoxic zone, first aerobic zone and second aerobic zone without increasing the footprint and extending the original process. A certain amount of functional suspended carriers is added in each reactor according to the treatment requirements, and influent diversion is used, in order to improve the pollutant removal performance of the modification process. Furthermore, the effluent quality can meet the requirements of discharge standards. This method is especially suitable for the upgrading of built wastewater treatment plants.
