Description

A biogas production device and method for coal pretreatment using aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coalbed methane bioengineering technology, specifically relating to a biogas production device and method for coal pretreatment using aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Background Technology

[0002] Biogenic coalbed methane is a gas, primarily composed of methane, generated in coal seams by microorganisms acting on organic matter in coal at relatively low temperatures (optimal temperature 30 ℃~55 ℃). Coal is a complex mixture of macromolecular solids with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures, making it difficult for microorganisms to utilize without pretreatment. Traditional chemical and physical oxidation methods can alter the degree of oxidation or hydrophilicity of coal, improving its bioavailability. However, these physicochemical pretreatment methods may remove some minerals from the coal and are carried out under conditions of strong acid, strong alkali, high temperature, and high pressure. The introduced new chemical substances have negative effects on the environment and microbial growth, hindering subsequent gasification. Aerobic and anaerobic microbial oxidation pretreatment degrades or decomposes some organic matter in coal molecules, increasing the solubility of coal molecules in water and converting coal into water-soluble substances. This method has advantages such as high degradability, simple process, low energy consumption, and no pollution. Since biogenic gas itself is produced under the action of microorganisms, studying biogas production from coal after bio-oxidation is feasible. By exploring the biogas production effect of coal after aerobic-anaerobic bio-oxidation, we can not only increase the amount of coalbed methane resources to obtain clean energy, but also provide a new environmentally friendly technology for coal utilization.

[0016] (2) Add nutrients and corresponding bacterial strains to the aerobic bacteria pre-culture tank, anaerobic bacteria pre-culture tank, and methanogenic bacteria pre-culture tank respectively to pre-enrich the bacterial community; turn on the oxygen source and continuously blow oxygen into the aerobic bacteria pre-culture tank; turn on the vacuum pump to make the anaerobic bacteria pre-culture tank and the methanogenic bacteria pre-culture tank an anaerobic environment; by controlling the second temperature controller, the third temperature controller and the fourth temperature controller, the heating wire works to control the temperature in the aerobic bacteria pre-culture tank, the anaerobic bacteria pre-culture tank and the methanogenic bacteria pre-culture tank within the suitable temperature range for the growth of their respective bacterial communities;

[0026] 2. The aerobic bacteria pre-culture tank, anaerobic bacteria pre-culture tank, and methanogenic bacteria pre-culture tank can be used for pre-culture according to the required growth conditions of the biological strains.

[0027] 3. The gas-liquid two-phase acquisition and monitoring system can collect the generated gas and liquid and perform gas analysis.

[0028] 4. This invention uses coal as a substrate and cultivates and optimizes methanogenic bacteria under suitable conditions. The biogas production effect is simulated indoors under different coal ranks, bacterial species, combined pretreatment methods, treatment times, and metabolic environmental conditions. By collecting liquid samples during aerobic and anaerobic pretreatment and methanogenesis by methanogens, the characteristics of the liquid phase, bacterial activity, and microbial species are analyzed to obtain the changes in various indicators during the biological oxidation-reduction process. The changes in coal structure during aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment and methanogen degradation are analyzed. Instantaneous and cumulative gas flow rates during biogas production are monitored and analyzed, and the concentrations of gas components such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are measured to further explore the biogas production effect of coal pretreated with aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
