Abstract:In this study, the synchronous enhanced coagulation and biological denitrification reactions in the flocculation tank were realized by modifying the structure of the stirring paddle. The effects of the paddle length gradient, the spacing between the paddles, and the angle between the paddles and the transverse brackets on the dissolved oxygen concentration gradient in the tank were determined, finally a new mechanical stirring paddle was designed, an anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic reaction environment occurred in the tank when the stirring paddle rotates. Through Fluent analysis of flow field in flocculation tank, the dissolved oxygen concentration gradient along the longitudinal and transverse directions in the flocculation tank was further verified. Biological denitrification experiments were carried out using new mixing paddles and conventional paddles, respectively. When the new mixing paddle was used, the ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N and TN removal effects were far superior to the traditional mixing paddle in the flocculation tank. The synchronous enhanced coagulation and biological denitrification experiments were further conducted to treat the simulated micro-polluted water sources, the turbidity of the effluent was 0.47 NTU, and the concentrations of COD, ${\rm{NH}}_4^ + $-N and TN were 10.54, 5.01 and 5.84 mg·L?1, respectively, which showed good performance on micro-polluted water sources treatment. The results of sludge particle size measurement proved that PAC dosing could effectively improve sludge floc structure, which provides a new development direction for the treatment of micro-polluted source water. Key words:paddle structure optimization/ Fluent analysis of flow field/ enhanced coagulation/ biological nitrogen removal.
