Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of municipal solid waste resource utilization technology, specifically involving a metal-based biochar composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid improvement of living standards in my country in recent years, the amount of food waste has also been increasing year by year. Compared with traditional sanitary landfill and high-temperature incineration, anaerobic digestion has unique advantages and is one of the more suitable technical means for reducing, rendering harmless, and recycling food waste. Through anaerobic digestion, food waste can be converted into biogas energy, which is more easily utilized. The biogas slurry and biogas residue can be used as raw materials for organic fertilizer, which has positive significance for alleviating energy shortages and reducing environmental pressure.

[0003] Food waste mainly consists of rice, noodles, vegetables, meat, grease, bones, and miscellaneous items such as paper towels and disposable tableware. Because carbohydrates like rice, noodles, and vegetables are easily acidified, methanogenesis often fails, making methanogenesis a limiting factor in gas production. Based on the four-stage theory of anaerobic digestion—hydrolysis, acidification, hydrogen and acetic acid production, and methanogenesis—terminating anaerobic digestion at the acidification stage to obtain higher-value volatile organic acids (VFAs) has become a more promising technical approach. This not only shortens the food waste treatment cycle but also avoids the problem of methanogenesis inhibition. However, due to the poor solubility and slow hydrolysis of cellulose, protein, and lipids, the hydrolysis reaction is considered the rate-limiting stage of acid production during the free fermentation of food waste. Furthermore, the accumulation of acidification products (VFAs) leads to a sharp drop in system pH, affecting the normal metabolism of related microbial communities and the activity of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. Therefore, accelerating the hydrolysis mass transfer of the complex components of food waste and regulating the system's acid-base environment are key to improving the efficiency of acid production during anaerobic fermentation of food waste.

[0004] Currently, researchers mostly employ physicochemical pretreatment techniques such as heat treatment, steam explosion, and acid-base treatment to disrupt the complex structure of macromolecular organic matter in the substrate. They also use methods such as adding alkaline chemical reagents and reducing the load to adjust the acid-base environment of the anaerobic fermentation system, thereby improving the acid production efficiency of anaerobic fermentation. However, all of the above methods have certain limitations, causing unnecessary obstacles to the practical application of food waste fermentation products and the post-treatment of fermentation liquid.

[0045] The metal-based biochar composite materials prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were applied to fermentation for acid production. The specific method is as follows:

[0046] Kitchen waste from a university student canteen was crushed into a paste using a high-speed blender. Anaerobic sludge from the biogas project was placed in a 100°C autoclave to inactivate methanogenic bacteria for 30 minutes. Then, 700g of kitchen waste and 300g of fermented sludge were weighed and mixed evenly, and added to an anaerobic fermentation tank with a working volume of 1L.

[0047] 10g of metal-based biochar composite material was weighed and added to an anaerobic fermenter. After purging the air from the reactor with nitrogen, it was placed in a constant temperature water bath at 37±1℃ for anaerobic free fermentation to produce acid. Samples were taken at 24h, 48h, 96h, 144h, and 192h of fermentation, and the concentration of volatile acids (VFAs) in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography.

[0048] The anaerobic free fermentation of 700g of kitchen waste and 300g of fermented sludge without any added materials served as a blank control group. The test results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0049] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the concentration of VFAs gradually increases with increasing fermentation time; compared with the control group, Fe-Mg@C 杨木 The composite material showed only a moderate effect in improving acid production; after 192 hours of fermentation, the VFA concentration was only 13842 mg / L. (Fe-Co-Ni@C) 杨木 The acid production rate of the composite material is significantly better than that of Fe-Mg@C. 杨木 The VFA concentration of the composite material can reach 20169 mg / L after 192 hours of fermentation.

[0050] Fe-Ca-Co-Ni@C 杨木 With Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C 杨木 The acid-producing performance is significantly better; in addition, through Fe-Ca-Co-Ni@C 杨木 With Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C 杨木 The comparison shows that during the early fermentation stage (0–144 h), Fe-Ca-Co-Ni@C 杨木 With Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C 杨木 It exhibits a considerable acid production rate, but at the later stage of fermentation (192 hours), Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C... 杨木 The concentration of volatile acids produced reached 23925 mg / L, Fe-Ca-Co-Ni@C 杨木 The concentration was 21798 mg / L, indicating that Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C 杨木 It has a higher effect on promoting acid production in the later stages of fermentation.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Based on Example 1, the biomass raw material poplar sawdust was replaced with biogas residue and distiller's grains, and the other steps were the same as in Example 1, respectively, to obtain Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C. 沼渣 and Fe-Mg-Co-Ni@C 酒糟 .

[0053] Following the above method, the obtained metal-based biochar composite material was applied to fermentation for acid production. Samples were taken periodically, and the concentration of VFAs in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography. The results of the VFAs concentration test after 192 hours of fermentation are shown in Table 1.

[0054] Table 1

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, biomass raw materials have a certain impact on the performance of composite materials, and poplar wood chips have the best performance.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] Based on Example 1, the amount of precursor A was adjusted, while other steps remained the same as in Example 1. The resulting metal-based biochar composite material was applied to fermentation for acid production according to the above method. Samples were taken periodically, and the concentration of VFAs in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography. The test results of VFAs concentration after 192 hours of fermentation are shown in Table 2.

[0060] Table 2

[0061]

[0062] As shown in Table 2, the volatile acid concentration initially increases and then decreases with increasing precursor A content, reaching its highest level at a precursor A content of 9g. This may be because an increase in precursor A represents an increase in magnesium compounds in the composite material, leading to a relative decrease in the percentage of Fe and C in the metal-based biochar. When the amount of metal-based biochar material remains constant, the Fe-C effect is slightly weakened.

[0063] Example 5

[0064] Based on Example 1, the amount of precursor B was adjusted, while other steps remained the same as in Example 1. The resulting metal-based biochar composite material was applied to fermentation for acid production according to the above method. Samples were taken periodically, and the concentration of VFAs in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography. The test results of VFAs concentration after 192 hours of fermentation are shown in Table 3.

[0065] Table 3

[0066]

[0067] As can be seen from the data in Table 3, with the increase of the amount of precursor B, the percentage of Fe and C in the metal-based biochar increases, and the Fe-C effect gradually strengthens. However, when the amount of precursor B is further increased, the increase in volatile acid concentration is limited. For cost-effectiveness, the optimal amount of precursor B is selected as 10g.

[0068] Example 6

[0069] Based on Example 1, the total molar concentration of cations in the trace metal element ion solution was adjusted, while other steps remained the same as in Example 1. The resulting metal-based biochar composite material was applied to fermentation for acid production according to the above method. Samples were taken periodically, and the concentration of VFAs in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography. The test results of VFAs concentration after 192 hours of fermentation are shown in Table 4.

[0070] Table 4

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] As can be seen from the data in Table 4, the concentration of volatile acids increases significantly when Co, Ni, and Fe ions are all present. In particular, the concentration of volatile acids is highest when the total concentration of Co, Ni, and Fe cations is 1.2 mol / L and the molar ratio of the three is 4:3:1.

[0074] Example 7

[0075] Based on Example 1, the pyrolysis temperature was adjusted, while other steps remained the same as in Example 1. The resulting metal-based biochar composite material was applied to fermentation for acid production according to the above method. Samples were taken periodically, and the concentration of VFAs in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography. The test results of VFAs concentration after 192 hours of fermentation are shown in Table 5.

[0076] Table 5

[0077]

[0078] As shown in Table 5, the highest concentration of volatile acids was observed at a pyrolysis temperature of 600℃. This may be because at 400℃, pyrolysis was incomplete, potentially due to interference from other organic groups, resulting in a poor FC structure and low porosity, leading to a lower concentration of volatile acids. At 800℃, some pore structures may have collapsed, excessive loss of surface hydroxyl groups, and decreased affinity for microorganisms, ultimately resulting in a reduction in the concentration of volatile acids.

[0079] Example 8

[0080] Based on Example 1, the amount of metal-based biochar composite material added was adjusted, while other steps remained the same as in Example 1. The resulting metal-based biochar composite material was applied to fermentation for acid production according to the above method. Samples were taken periodically, and the concentration of VFAs in the fermenter was determined by gas chromatography. The test results of VFAs concentration after 192 hours of fermentation are shown in Table 6.

[0081] Table 6

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] As shown in Table 6, the volatile acid concentration gradually increases with the addition of metal-based biochar composite material from 5g to 25g, reaching its highest level at 25g. However, when the addition of metal-based biochar composite material is further increased to 50g, the volatile acid concentration decreases significantly.

[0085] Among them, when the amount of metal-based biochar composite material added is 10g, the volatile acid concentration reaches 23925mg / L; when the amount added is increased to 25g, the volatile acid concentration only increases to 24178mg / L. Therefore, the optimal amount of metal-based biochar composite material added is 10g.

[0086] This invention uses waste biomass (poplar sawdust, distiller's grains, etc.) and metal precursors (magnesite, calcite, industrial waste iron filings, etc.) as raw materials, which are widely available, inexpensive, and readily accessible. A trace element promoter is loaded using an ion solution impregnation method, resulting in high trace element utilization. The metal-based biochar composite material of this invention has a simple preparation process, low cost, and does not cause secondary pollution during application; it is also recyclable.

[0087] This invention utilizes methods such as high-temperature pyrolysis, metal precursor doping, and ion impregnation to load trace element promoters, thereby loading or combining specific metal ions or metal compounds into the pore structure of biochar in atomic form. Alkali metal compounds can both regulate the pore structure during biochar formation and modify its surface chemical properties.

[0088] In this invention, the metal-based biochar composite material, by doping with alkali metal compounds such as Ca and Mg, can regulate the pH value of the anaerobic fermentation system, alleviate the excessive acidification of the system due to product accumulation, and maintain a suitable acid-producing environment. In this invention, the metal-based biochar composite material, by loading Fe, Co, and Ni, can provide anaerobic microorganisms with trace metal elements, promote the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, and thus improve the acid-producing efficiency of anaerobic fermentation of kitchen waste.

[0089] In this invention, the metal-based biochar composite material contains Fe and C forming a galvanic cell, which can regulate the release of trace metal elements in the composite material and extend its service life. The conductivity of Fe and biochar can promote electron transfer between microbial communities and accelerate the overall rate of acid production in anaerobic fermentation.

[0090] The addition of metal-based biochar composite material in this invention significantly increases the acid concentration produced by mesophilic anaerobic free fermentation of kitchen waste, eliminating the need for raw material pretreatment and process control.

[0091] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
