The invented composite sludge conditioner exhibits excellent dewatering effects on sludge produced from municipal wastewater, industrial park wastewater, and enterprise wastewater in processes such as plate and frame filter presses, centrifuges, and screw presses. Its main advantages are as follows: 1) The hydrophobic material-loaded coordination iron chelating agent, in conjunction with a multi-nuclear metal catalyst composite product, possesses coordination, chelation, catalysis, bridging, flocculation, double-layer neutralization, and trapping functions, resulting in rapid sedimentation and rapid, continuous sludge dewatering, achieving solid-liquid separation, controlling the sludge cake moisture content to <60%, and truly reducing volume and size, thus saving disposal costs; 2) It replaces inorganic salt flocculants / coagulants and lime-based products, significantly reducing sludge volume increments; 3) It reduces filter cloth clogging and extends service life; 4) It helps increase the organic matter content of the sludge, which is beneficial for subsequent composting and other landscaping projects.

[0037] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Figure 1 This is a process flow diagram of the conditioner for sludge dewatering according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives, and effects of this invention readily understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0040] This invention combines a hydrophobic material-loaded coordinating iron chelating agent with a polynuclear metal catalyst and a biodegradable polymeric organic base to obtain a composite sludge conditioner. First, the coordinating iron chelating agent component contains multivalent iron atoms, iron ions, and organic ligands with lone pairs of electrons, forming cyclic monomer molecules with strong complexing ability. These monomer molecules are synergistically compounded with a polynuclear metal catalyst containing potassium, aluminum, iron, and magnesium, and are linked together by van der Waals forces, electric dipole moment polarization forces, and hydrogen bonds to form a long-chain helical chelate, thus possessing functions such as coordination, chelation, catalysis, permeation, bridging, flocculation, double-layer neutralization, and entrapment / sweeping. Second, the biodegradable polymeric organic base product used in the combination is a product containing superoxide anions (O2). - ), hydroxyl radicals (OH) - The compound sludge conditioner of this invention is a mixture of linearly polymerized organic bases with reactive oxygen groups such as α-oxygen and α-oxygen. Sludge microorganisms contain 30-60% protein, and reactive oxygen groups have a targeted function to destroy proteins. This destruction reaction occurs through the chain breaking and decomposition of organic bases into small molecules and the destruction of extracellular polymers in the sludge system. Finally, the compound sludge conditioner of this invention can destroy the EPS of the sludge system, dissolve microbial cells in the sludge, release bound water and interstitial water in the sludge, reduce electrostatic repulsion, improve the hydrophobicity of microbial cells in the sludge, and release free water and surface water, thereby greatly improving the dewatering performance of the sludge.

[0041] A composite sludge conditioner was developed by combining a sludge conditioner containing a nano-scale hydrophobic material-loaded polynuclear metal chelate (Agent A) with a biodegradable polymeric organic alkali for sludge cell wall breaking and dewatering (Agent B). The innovation lies in developing a novel sludge dewatering agent combination that replaces lime, iron salts, and aluminum salts. Agent A is a homogeneous suspension formed by the reaction of a nano-scale silicon-based hydrophobic material-loaded coordination iron chelate with a polynuclear metal catalyst. Agent B is a biodegradable polymeric organic alkali containing active oxygen groups, generated under oxygen-rich conditions from an unsaturated organic alkali. The combined use of Agent A and Agent B effectively breaks down the cell walls of organic biomass in the sludge, thereby disrupting the EPS (explosive permeable material) of the sludge system, dissolving microbial cells in the sludge, releasing bound water and interstitial water within the sludge, and reducing electrostatic repulsion. The addition of the hydrophobic material provides a skeletal channel for sludge dewatering, improving the hydrophobicity of microbial cells in the sludge, releasing free water and surface water, ensuring smooth water permeability, preventing filter media clogging, reducing equipment wear and maintenance, and significantly improving work efficiency.

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] Note: The amount of sludge fed is a measure of the speed of sludge filtration and also an indirect measure of the softness and hardness of the sludge cake. Since the filter chamber space of a plate and frame filter press is fixed, a large amount of sludge fed indicates that the sludge is hydrophobic and has good filtration properties, making it easier to press. In addition, the more sludge fed, the higher the degree of sludge expansion per unit volume. The larger the sludge volume, the more conducive it is to pressing, and the drier the pressed sludge cake.
