Moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) are often used in wastewater treatment. Using MBBR carriers with a porous surface is beneficial to the adhesion of microorganisms and the growth of biofilms. Polyethylene (PE) carriers with highly open and connected pores are designed by constructing a co-continuous structure of PE/polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend, which was followed by the removal of PEO with water. It is found that the extrudates of PE/PEO (w/w, 4/6) blend exhibit a co-continuous pore structure; however, PEO cannot create a porous surface. The polar rigid filler calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is proposed to be preferentially distributed in the PEO phase, thus increasing its surface energy, reaching a goal of a porous surface successfully on the base of retaining the internal co-continuous porous structure. The content and size of CaCO3 can further tune the morphology and pore size of the porous surface. The prepared PE porous carriers display a 200 μm-thick biofilm comprising a large number of filamentous bacteria and a small number of coccal and rob bacteria after an MBBR experiment for 30 days, which is also observed within the carriers as revealed by confocal laser scanning microscopy.

移动床生物膜反应器载体的聚乙烯基共连续结构的定制表面孔隙率

移动床生物膜反应器(MBBR)通常用于废水处理。使用具有多孔表面的MBBR载体有利于微生物的粘附和生物膜的生长。通过构建PE /聚环氧乙烷(PEO)共混物的连续结构,然后用水去除PEO,来设计具有高度开放和连通的孔的聚乙烯(PE)载体。发现PE / PEO(w / w,4/6)共混物的挤出物表现出共连续的孔结构;但是,PEO不能产生多孔表面。极性硬质填料碳酸钙(CaCO 3提出了优选地在PEO相中分布),从而增加其表面能,在保持内部共连续多孔结构的基础上成功地达到了多孔表面的目的。CaCO 3的含量和大小可以进一步调整多孔表面的形态和孔径。经过MBBR实验30天后,制备的PE多孔载体显示出200μm厚的生物膜,其中包含大量丝状细菌以及少量的球菌和罗布细菌,共聚焦激光扫描显微镜观察也可以在载体内观察到。
