Abstract:On February 1, 2020, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued" the Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Supervision of Medical Sewage and Urban Sewage in the Pneumonia Epidemic of Novel Coronavirus Infection " (Huanban Shuitihan [2020] No. 52), which specifically pointed out that "local ecological and environmental departments should urge municipal wastewater treatment plants to strengthen disinfection work to ensure that the number of fecal coliforms in the effluent meets the requirements of the "Pollutant Discharge Standards for Municipal Wastewater Treatment plants" (GB 18918-2002)." At present, the disinfection treatment technologies used in municipal wastewater treatment plant in my country mainly include ultraviolet, ozone, sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and the combination of these treatment methods. Among them, sodium hypochlorite disinfection is currently the most widely used disinfection treatment technology in municipal wastewater treatment plants. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of the process parameters and operating effects of sodium hypochlorite disinfection, and there are problems in key parameters such as sodium hypochlorite dosage and disinfection contact time. Therefore, this paper reviews the effects of sodium hypochlorite dosage, disinfection contact time, water temperature, ORP, ammonia nitrogen concentration and other parameters on the disinfection effect of sodium hypochlorite, in order to provide theoretical guidance for disinfection and sterilization of municipal wastewater treatment plants.
