Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of solid waste resource utilization technology, environmental protection technology and energy conservation technology, and specifically relates to a method for preparing molded fuel by mixing semi-dried sludge with camellia and cattail. Background Technology

[0002] Dewatered sludge can be used as biomass fuel, but as a byproduct of wastewater treatment, it is an extremely complex heterogeneous body composed of organic matter, metals, inorganic particles, and colloidal particles. The main characteristics of sludge are high water content (even exceeding 90%), high organic matter content, easy decay and foul odor, fine particles, low specific gravity, and a colloidal liquid state. It contains various toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metals, toxic pollutants, pathogens, microorganisms, and salts, leading to air, surface water, and food pollution. While incineration can significantly reduce its volume, thermally destroy toxic organic components and pathogens, stabilize heavy metals, and recover energy, it still causes air pollution. Biomass is a carbon-neutral fuel; mixing dewatered sludge and biomass to form pellets can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and save China a significant amount of money spent annually on sludge treatment and disposal. Therefore, using sludge mixed with biomass to prepare briquettes can reduce and effectively utilize the generated waste. In recent years, my country has mainly focused on preparing briquettes by mixing sludge with coal and agricultural waste straw, and preparing coal-water slurry fuel by mixing sludge with coal.

[0003] However, the existing technology still has the following technical problems:

[0004] 1) When sludge is mixed with straw or coal to prepare sludge briquettes, the sludge has a high moisture content and needs to be dried to a very low moisture content before use. Since straw is a high-fiber material with a high moisture content, it must first be sun-dried or oven-dried, then crushed into fine powder, and finally mixed with sludge or coal and pressurized to prepare briquettes or pellet fuel. This results in a large consumption of heat energy required for sludge drying, and the sludge mixed with straw or coal also has problems such as low forming rate, low strength, lack of water resistance, and easy pulverization during transportation and use.

[0005] 2) When sludge is mixed with coal to prepare coal-water slurry, the high viscosity, high water holding capacity and low calorific value of sludge cause problems such as low sludge addition (generally not exceeding 10%), poor slurry formation, low concentration, high viscosity and low calorific value when sludge is directly mixed with coal.

[0006] 3) Research results on sludge blending technology for biomass fuel preparation are only at the laboratory stage and semi-industrial test stage. The preparation of sludge into briquettes and sludge-coal slurries on industrial production lines and the combustion of these products are basically nonexistent.

[0007] Chinese patent document application number 201510507637.4 discloses a sludge-biomass briquettes fuel and its preparation method. The raw materials are sludge particles and straw powder. The preparation method involves first extruding sludge to obtain sludge particles with a particle size of 2-4 cm, then mixing the sludge particles and straw powder at a mass ratio of 2-10:10, and finally pressing the mixture into briquettes to obtain sludge-biomass briquettes fuel. However, this method requires sludge to account for ≤50% of the fuel, necessitates extruding the sludge into sludge particles, requires the addition of stabilizers and dispersants, and the ash residue after combustion of the briquettes can easily cause soil pollution.

[0008] Chinese patent document application number 201410046446.8 discloses a method for manufacturing densely packed biomass fuel from sludge, comprising the following steps: selecting domestic sewage sludge as the main raw material, piling the mixture in a fermentation site to form a heap, spraying the surface of the heap with a deodorizing and decomposition-promoting fermentation bacterial solution, spraying the surface of the heap with a white-rot fungal solution, and deeply turning the heap until the moisture content of the material in the heap drops to 30%, thus ending the fermentation process; and then thoroughly mixing the fermented and dried material with lignocellulosic biomass material with a mixture moisture content of 18% and extruding it into shape. This method requires sludge composting, adding bacterial solution for deodorization, spraying with white-rot fungal solution, and turning the heap, making the process complex, time-consuming, and resulting in a low moisture content in the mixture.

[0009] Chinese patent document application number 201510050628.7 discloses a method and system for preparing biomass pellet fuel, including the following steps: 1) Drying biomass raw materials and sludge raw materials separately with high-temperature steam at 160℃~200℃ until the moisture content of the biomass raw materials is ≤10% and the moisture content of the sludge raw materials is 25%~35%; 2) Crushing: Crushing the dried sludge raw materials until the particle size of the crushed sludge raw materials is ≤5mm, and coarsely grinding the dried biomass raw materials until the particle size of the coarsely ground biomass raw materials is 5mm~20mm; 3) [The text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or missing information.] The biomass raw materials are roasted using high-temperature flue gas at 220℃~300℃. The inlet temperature of the biomass roasting device is controlled at 200℃~280℃, and the outlet temperature at 150℃~200℃. Roasting is carried out for 10min~40min under anaerobic conditions, followed by cooling. 4) The roasted and cooled biomass raw materials are finely ground, with a particle size ≤3mm. 5) The sludge additives, pulverized sludge raw materials, and finely ground biomass raw materials are mixed evenly, and the moisture content of the mixed raw materials is adjusted to 12%~18%. Then, the mixture is extruded to obtain biomass pellet fuel. This method suffers from several drawbacks: excessively high temperatures can kill microorganisms in the sludge, leading to spoilage; high energy consumption; sludge requires drying and pulverization; low sludge moisture content necessitates the addition of additives; and the low moisture content of the mixed raw materials, coupled with a high proportion of dried sludge, hinders pellet formation. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In this invention, the calorific value of semi-dried sludge refers to the heat generated by burning semi-dried sludge after it is completely dried. Sludge also generates heat by burning after it is completely dried. When the calorific value of semi-dried sludge is low, the mass fraction of semi-dried sludge is 17% to 56%. When the calorific value of semi-dried sludge is high, the mass fraction of semi-dried sludge is 24% to 65.5%.

[0033] Camellia oleifera fruit shell: also known as camellia oleifera fruit shell, is a residual product from the processing of camellia oleifera into tea oil. It includes cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and other active ingredients.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] (1) The method of the present invention is simple, easy to operate, and low in cost. The resulting molded fuel pellets can achieve rapid reduction of urban sludge and energy recovery and utilization. The molded pellets have the advantages of low energy consumption, high particle strength, and no pollution when preparing them.

[0036] This invention involves baking or pyrolyzing Camellia oleifera fruit, which can reduce moisture content, increase the energy density of biomass, reduce the content of S and Cl, improve the performance in the thermochemical conversion process, increase the energy density and calorific value of Camellia oleifera fruit, increase the mixing amount of semi-dried sludge, and reduce energy loss during sludge drying and gas emissions after combustion of shaped pellets.

[0037] In this invention, sludge is used as an additive to facilitate the preparation of granulated fuel. It also increases the mixing volume of sludge, reduces energy loss during sludge drying, solves the pollution problems caused by direct sludge combustion, and mitigates the drawbacks of high energy consumption and high cost associated with direct sludge combustion. Semi-drying the sludge, reducing its moisture content to only 50%–55%, allows the microorganisms in the sludge to contribute to pellet formation. This process is energy-efficient, requires no other additives, and ensures a high proportion of sludge with a moisture content of 50%–55% in the mixture, which is beneficial for pellet formation.

[0038] This invention utilizes a semi-dried sludge mixture with camellia and cattail shoots, roasted or pyrolyzed to prepare briquettes, enabling rapid sludge reduction and resource recovery for increased profits. The resulting briquettes have low water absorption, are easy to store, and have a long shelf life. The briquettes formed by adding sludge have low energy consumption, high quality, and produce fewer pollutants during combustion, thus contributing to PM2.5 control. The roasting or pyrolysis of biomass reduces S and Cl content, resulting in less pollution and less slag formation during briquette combustion.

[0039] (2) In the research and development process, the effects of sludge addition on energy consumption and fuel quality analysis during the molding process were studied. The effects of different proportions of sludge mixed with Camellia oleifera fruit, roasted Camellia oleifera fruit, and Camellia oleifera fruit biochar on energy consumption and particle properties during molding were investigated. The combustion behavior and gas emission characteristics of biomass granules mixed with different proportions of sludge were analyzed. It was found that the method of the present invention can rapidly reduce and recycle sludge, kill pathogens, bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes, etc. in sludge, solve the air pollution (CO, NOx) problems caused by direct incineration of large quantities of Camellia oleifera fruit, and solve the odor problem of sludge. Compared to existing technologies, this invention only requires semi-drying the high-moisture sludge at around 40°C, retaining more microorganisms in the sludge, which helps in granulation and increases the mixing volume of sludge. It does not require extrusion into sludge granules, nor does it require the addition of stabilizers or dispersants. The addition of sludge also controls the gases produced by the combustion of the granules. Camellia oleifera fruit itself contains high levels of lignin, so there is no need to add other substances. The mixed materials do not require composting. It is time-saving, simple, convenient, and effective. Attached Figure Description

[0085] Performance characterization:

[0086] Examples 1-5 can prepare shaped fuel pellets, with the following mass ratios of semi-dried sludge to treated Camellia oleifera fruit and tamarisk: semi-dried sludge : 270℃ roasted Camellia oleifera fruit and tamarisk = 40 : 60 (STCs1), semi-dried sludge : 300℃ roasted Camellia oleifera fruit and tamarisk = 45 : 55 (STCs2), semi-dried sludge : 500℃ Camellia oleifera fruit and tamarisk biochar = 53 : 47 (SCsb1), semi-dried sludge : 600℃ Camellia oleifera fruit and tamarisk biochar = 54 : 46 (SCsb2), and semi-dried sludge : 700℃ roasted Camellia oleifera fruit and tamarisk = 56 : 44 (SCsb3). Figure 4-6 It can be seen that the shaped fuel prepared by the present invention has low energy consumption and a density greater than 1, which meets the national standard for shaped fuel. The water absorption rate of the shaped pellets tends to saturate more quickly.

[0087] Figure 7 This shows the moisture absorption rate of the formed granules. For example... Figure 7As shown, the water absorption rate of STCs1, STCs2, SCsb1, SCsb2, and SCsb3 was measured every half hour. Between 3 and 5 hours, the moisture absorption rates of STCs1, STCs2, SCsb1, SCsb2, and SCsb3 approached saturation, with absorption rates of 6.7%, 7%, 8.1%, 8.3%, and 11.2%, respectively. After 48 hours, the average water absorption rates of STCs1, STCs2, SCsb1, SCsb2, and SCsb3 were 6.8%, 7.2%, 8.2%, 8.3%, and 11.1%, respectively, showing little change and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0088] Depend on Figure 8 The analysis yielded Table 1, from which... Figure 9 Table 2 shows the results. Compared to shaped fuel pellets (SCs) made from semi-dried sludge and unbaked (or unpyrolyzed) camellia fruit, STCs1 shaped pellets reduced PM1 by 59.78% after combustion. 10 A 35.25% reduction; After combustion of STCs2 molded particles, PM1 decreased by 41.54%, PM2.5% 10 The PM1 content was reduced by 35.63%; after combustion of SCsb1 molded particles, the PM1 content was reduced by 18.18%, and PM2.5 content was reduced by 35.63%. 10 The PM1 content was reduced by 13.16% after the combustion of SCsb2 shaped particles, and the PM2.5 content was reduced by 18.41%. 10 The PM1 content was reduced by 14.78% after the combustion of SCsb3 shaped particles, and the PM2.5 content was reduced by 20.43%. 10 The emissions were reduced by 20.46%. This indicates that the gas emissions from the combustion of semi-dried sludge mixed with Camellia oleifera fruit pellets significantly reduced PM1 and PM2.5 levels. 10 The yield has decreased significantly, reducing environmental pollution.
