Abstract:In this study, the combination of tourmaline and biofilm technology was to build the tourmaline enhanced biofilm system for Chinese medicine wastewater treatment. The tourmaline was used to regulate the micro-environment of the biofilm, enhance the metabolic activity of microorganisms and improve the treatment efficiency of the reaction system. The results showed that after 160 d, the start-up of tourmaline enhanced anaerobic fluidized bed reactor (AFBR) for Chinese medicine wastewater treatment was completed. COD removal efficiency of the reaction system reached 87.8%, the volume loading reached 5.34 kg·(m3·d)?1, and the methanogenic activity of biofilm reached 126.4 mL·(g·d)?1. After 35 days, the tourmaline enhanced fluidized bed reactor (FBR) was completed. The effluent COD maintained at 76.5 mg·L?1. The COD removal efficiency and volume loading of the reaction system were 90.3% and 1.4 kg·(m3·d)?1, respectively. Chinese medicine wastewater was treated by AFBR and FBR successively. Its effluent water quality met the discharge requirements of Discharge Standard of Water Pollutants in Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmaceutical Industry (GB 21906-2008). This provides theoretical support and reference for actual projects. Key words:tourmaline/ biofilm system/ Chinese medicine wastewater/ start-up.
