Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crop straw feed treatment, and particularly relates to a method for preparing steam-exploded rice straw feed based on secondary pressure boosting and a feed. Background Art
[0002] Crop straw resources in China are very rich. About 700 million tons of crop straw are produced every year, among which 230 million tons are rice straw, accounting for 29.93% of the total straw. The feed utilization rate only accounts for 17.99% of the comprehensive utilization rate. Most of them are directly burned or directly returned to the field as fertilizer, which not only causes huge resource waste, but also causes many environmental pollution problems. The feed utilization of straw can not only expand the feed source, solve the problem of shortage of roughage brought about by the rapid development of animal husbandry in China, reduce the breeding cost, but also reduce the environmental pollution caused by straw burning. However, untreated straw has poor palatability and low digestibility, which limits the application of straw in animal husbandry production. Pretreatment of straw can break the cell wall structure of straw, improve the nutritional value and digestibility of straw, and improve palatability. At present, the pretreatment methods of straw include physical, chemical, biological and combined treatment methods, etc. Among them, steam explosion can significantly increase the degradation of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, improve the nutritional value and digestibility of straw, and has the advantages of short treatment time, high efficiency and no environmental pollution.
[0003] Most existing steam explosion technologies use single-pressure treatment. Although it can partially destroy the fiber structure, the tearing effect on straw fibers is limited, and the increase in crude protein is insufficient. In addition, the synergistic effect of chemical pretreatment and steam explosion has not been fully explored.
[0004] The existing patent CN 109170227 A discloses a method of single-pressure steam explosion combined with ammoniation treatment, but does not involve staged pressure boosting; CN 119184216 A optimizes the steam explosion parameters of rice straw, but does not solve the problems of high lignin residue and limited straw tearing effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing steam-exploded rice straw feed based on secondary pressure boosting, which can significantly reduce the neutral detergent fiber content (NDF) and acid detergent fiber content (ADF) of rice straw feed, and at the same time improve the straw tearing effect, crude protein content, fiber degradation rate and feeding value.
[0006] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing steam-exploded rice straw feed based on secondary pressure boosting, comprising the following steps: S1 Raw material pretreatment: Crush the rice straw into strips of 3-5cm and remove iron. Select the freshest straw to reduce the degree of lignification. The crushing process can increase the specific surface area of the straw, so that the subsequent chemical pretreatment and steam explosion process can act more fully on the straw and improve the treatment effect. The crushed raw materials are firstly subjected to a first stage of iron removal to remove the iron-containing impurities close to the surface of the belt, and then to a second stage of iron removal to remove the iron-containing impurities inside the raw materials. Through the combination of "surface adsorption + deep detection", the iron removal efficiency is significantly improved. Compared with the existing technology, it can effectively reduce the equipment failure rate and reduce the risk of metal contamination in feed.
[0007] S2 Chemical pretreatment: Add urea or ammonia water in a certain proportion of the dry weight of the straw to the crushed straw, adjust the moisture content to 30% - 60%, and seal the reaction for 24 - 48 hours; The role of urea and ammonia water: They are both alkaline substances that can react with lignin in the straw to partially dissolve and decompose the lignin, thereby destroying the cell wall structure of the straw and reducing the crystallinity of the fiber. At the same time, urea will decompose and produce ammonia under the action of microorganisms. Ammonia can combine with some components in the straw to increase the crude protein content of the straw; Adjust the moisture content: The appropriate moisture content can ensure the uniformity and effectiveness of chemical pretreatment. As a reaction medium, water helps urea or ammonia water to better penetrate into the interior of the straw and promote the chemical reaction.
[0008] S3 Initial pressure increase: The pretreated straw is loaded into the steam explosion device and saturated steam is introduced. The pressure is maintained at 0.8-1.4MPa for 30-400 seconds. The steam molecules penetrate into the pores of the straw cell wall and the gaps between the microfibrils under the action of pressure, destroying the hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces between lignin and cellulose, causing the lignin to be initially softened. The chemical pretreatment agent (such as ammonia) penetrates into the interior of the lignin with the steam, breaks the phenylpropane structure of the lignin through alkaline hydrolysis, and reduces the molecular weight of the lignin.
[0009] S4 Secondary pressure boosting and blasting: After reaching the pressure holding time, saturated steam is introduced, and the pressure is rapidly increased to 1.5 - 1.8 MPa and then instantaneously relieved, causing the rice straw to burst out from the feeding port of the discharging device; the pressure is rapidly increased to 1.5 - 1.8 MPa in the secondary pressure boosting to form a large instantaneous pressure difference. This pressure difference is converted into huge expansion energy during instantaneous pressure relief, causing the volume of steam molecules inside the straw to expand sharply, generating an impact force similar to "implosion"; the fiber bundles are forcibly torn along the lignin - cellulose interface to form fine fiber filaments with a diameter of 5 - 20 μm, and the specific surface area is increased by 50% - 80% compared with that after the primary pressure boosting, significantly improving the enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial digestion efficiency, converting the straw from a "difficult - to - digest lignocellulose complex" into a "highly - feedable filamentous fiber matrix", and finally achieving multiple technical effects of increasing crude protein, optimizing fiber degradation rate and reducing energy consumption.
[0010] S5 Product collection: The blasted filamentous straw is collected into a storage tank through a pipeline and made into high - nutritional - value feed after drying.
[0011] Preferably, the urea added in the chemical pretreatment step is 0.5% - 6% of the dry weight of the straw.
[0012] Preferably, the addition amount of the urea is 2% - 6% of the dry weight of the straw.
[0013] Preferably, the ammonia water added in the chemical pretreatment step is 1% - 8% of the dry weight of the straw.
[0014] Preferably, the addition amount of the ammonia water is 3% - 8% of the dry weight of the straw.
[0015] Preferably, the steam pressure in the primary pressure boosting step is 0.9 - 1.1 MPa, and the pressure holding time is 180 - 300 seconds.
[0016] Preferably, the steam pressure in the secondary pressure boosting and blasting step is 1.7 - 1.8 MPa.
[0017] Preferably, the steam pressure in the primary pressure boosting step is 1.0 MPa, the pressure holding time is 250 seconds; the addition amount of urea in the chemical pretreatment step is 6% of the dry weight of the straw, and the steam pressure in the secondary pressure boosting and blasting step is 1.8 MPa and then instantaneously relieved.
[0018] A feed is prepared by the above - mentioned preparation method.
[0019] The outstanding effects of the present invention are: Compared with the prior art, the relative quality and relative feeding value of the rough rice straw feed are improved, and the crude protein content is increased.
[0020] Enhance the tearing effect of straw fibers, increase the specific surface area of the fibers, facilitate the degradation by cellulase and the attachment and colonization of rumen microorganisms, improve the degradation rate of straw cellulose, and enable cattle and sheep to more efficiently digest and utilize feed.
[0021] The energy consumption is reduced by 10%, which is suitable for large-scale production. Specific implementation manners
