What are the methods for treating domestic sewage?

Domestic sewage treatment is an important part of environmental protection and urban management, which is of great significance for improving the living environment of residents, protecting water resources, and preventing water pollution. With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous expansion of population, the production of domestic sewage is also increasing. Therefore, it is particularly important to treat domestic sewage reasonably and effectively. This article will provide a detailed introduction to several common methods for treating domestic sewage.

Firstly, we need to understand the main components of domestic sewage. Domestic sewage mainly includes washing wastewater, kitchen wastewater, sanitary wastewater, etc., which contains a large amount of organic matter, suspended solids, nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, as well as microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. If these pollutants are directly discharged into the environment without treatment, they will cause serious pollution to water bodies, affecting people's health and quality of life.

Based on the characteristics of domestic sewage, we can adopt the following common treatment methods:

1. Physical treatment method: Physical treatment method mainly removes impurities such as suspended solids and particles from wastewater through physical action. Common physical treatment methods include grids, sedimentation tanks, sedimentation tanks, etc. Grilles are mainly used to remove large particle impurities and suspended solids from sewage, while sedimentation tanks remove sand particles from sewage through gravity settling, and sedimentation tanks remove suspended and particulate matter from sewage through natural settling.

2. Chemical treatment method: Chemical treatment method mainly removes pollutants such as dissolved organic compounds and heavy metal ions from wastewater through chemical reactions. Common chemical treatment methods include neutralization, coagulation, oxidation-reduction, etc. Neutralization is mainly used to regulate the acidity and alkalinity of wastewater, while coagulation involves adding coagulants to condense suspended solids and dissolved organic matter in the wastewater into larger particles, facilitating subsequent treatment. Oxidation-reduction involves adding oxidants or reducing agents to convert harmful substances in wastewater into harmless or low toxic substances.

3. Biological treatment method: Biological treatment method utilizes the metabolic action of microorganisms to remove nutrients such as organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. Common biological treatment methods include activated sludge method, biofilm method, anaerobic biological treatment, etc. The activated sludge method is formed by cultivating a large number of microorganisms in wastewater, and using the degradation effect of microorganisms to remove organic matter from wastewater. The biofilm rule is the use of microbial membranes grown on the surface of solid media to remove organic matter from wastewater. Anaerobic biological treatment is the use of anaerobic microorganisms to decompose organic matter in wastewater into gases such as methane under anaerobic conditions.

4. Natural treatment method: Natural treatment method utilizes the purification ability of the natural environment to remove pollutants from wastewater. Common natural treatment methods include stabilization ponds, land treatment, wetland treatment, etc. Stable pond is a sewage treatment method that utilizes the self purification ability of water bodies to remove organic matter from wastewater through the degradation of microorganisms in the pond. Land treatment is the use of the combined effects of soil, plants, and microorganisms to remove pollutants from wastewater. Wetland treatment simulates the function of natural wetlands, removing pollutants from wastewater through plants, microorganisms, and soil in wetlands.

When choosing a method for treating domestic sewage, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the composition of the sewage, treatment requirements, and treatment costs. Meanwhile, with the development of technology, new sewage treatment technologies continue to emerge, such as membrane separation technology, advanced oxidation technology, etc., providing more choices for domestic sewage treatment.
