Figure 2 The pyrolysis carbonization process flowchart simulated by the embodiment one of the present application, wherein DRYER is the RStoic reactor, DECOMP is the RYield reactor, PYRO is the RGibbs reactor, SPLIT is the SSplit splitter, and HOTWIND is the RGibbs reactor. Figures 3a-3c The influence curve schematic diagram of the two-source co-proportion on the pyrolysis results provided by the embodiment one of the present application. Figures 4a-4bThis is a schematic diagram illustrating the influence of the synergistic ratio of the three sources on the pyrolysis results provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment simulates the synergistic pyrolysis process of agricultural and forestry biomass (waste pine wood), industrial medicinal herb residue, and urban sludge from different treatment processes.

[0088]

[0089] (3) Parameter input and simulation operation: The raw material feed rate is 1000 kg / h, the air temperature is set to 20 to 30℃, the drying reactor temperature is set to 120 to 140℃, the pyrolysis temperature is set to 400 to 600℃, and the pressure in the process is set to 1.01 to 1.02 bar; Chinese medicine residue and urban sludge from different treatment processes are added to agricultural and forestry pine wood for pyrolysis, with the proportion increasing from 0% to 100% in a certain step size, and the simulation operation is carried out.

[0090] (4) Results Analysis: Through the output of the simulation results, the changes in the proportions of *Sargentodoxa cuneata*, *Alisma plantago-aquatica*, S sludge, P sludge, and F sludge, as well as the biochar yield, CO2 emissions, and pollutant gas emissions in the pyrolysis products, are shown below. Figures 3a-3c、 Figures 4a-4b As shown in the pyrolysis of three-source organic solid waste, the results are optimal when the ratio of pine wood, sargentia and PAM sludge is 5:3:2. It can effectively reduce 20.0% CO2 emissions, but will reduce 1.5% of the pyrolysis carbon yield, and increase 5.6% of the pollution gas emissions. The results can be used to predict the actual pyrolysis, and can play a certain guiding role for the actual operation.

[0091] In this embodiment, the chemical process simulation software Aspen plus is used for modeling. By comparing and optimizing, the RStoic reactor (DRYER) is used to simulate the drying process of raw materials, the RYield reactor (DECOMP) and the RGibbs reactor (PYRO) are used to simulate the pyrolysis volatiles and biomass char, the SSplit splitter (SPLIT) is used to simulate the two-phase separation of the generated pyrolysis volatiles and biomass char, the RGibbs reactor (HOTWIND) is used to simulate the combustion reaction of the separated pyrolysis volatiles under the combustion of air, the heat exchanger is used to simulate the heat transfer process of the high-temperature flue gas (FLUE-GAS) generated after combustion to other two modules, and the advantages of various existing models are combined to realize the prediction and simulation of the multi-source typical organic solid waste co-pyrolysis resource process.

[0092] The embodiment provides a multi-source organic solid waste co-pyrolysis simulation method which can analyze influencing factors such as co-pyrolysis ratio, pyrolysis temperature and water content of raw materials after drying. The method can simulate the co-pyrolysis process of various complex source typical organic solid waste such as agricultural and forestry source biomass (waste pine wood), industrial source traditional Chinese medicine residue and municipal source sludge treated by different processes, solves the problems of modeling and simulation of co-pyrolysis process of multi-source organic solid waste under unique conditions, product generation control, multi-scene setting material flow analysis, co-pyrolysis system energy efficiency sensitivity analysis and other problems in the prior art, and has good guiding significance for optimizing multi-source organic solid waste pyrolysis process, reducing resource investment, improving resource utilization efficiency, improving solid waste resource utilization and increasing system economic benefits.

[0093] This embodiment models the actual pyrolysis process of an enterprise, selecting waste pine wood from agricultural and forestry sources as raw material for pyrolysis simulation. The input feed properties and reactor operating parameters for different modules (feed rate of 1000 kg / h, air temperature of 20 to 30°C, drying reactor temperature of 120 to 140°C, pyrolysis temperature of 500 to 700°C, and pressure in the process of 1.01 to 1.02 bar) are set to be consistent with the parameters of the pine wood pyrolysis experiment. After the model runs and the results are compared with the experimental results, it is found that the simulation results are not much different from the experimental results between 500 and 700°C, and the overlap is better at around 600°C. Therefore, the model established in this embodiment is relatively close to the actual pyrolysis process and can be used for subsequent simulation of the actual production process of the enterprise's pyrolysis system, and provide a certain reference for its system optimization.

[0094] Example 2

[0095] Figures 5a-5c This is a schematic diagram of the effect curves of different pyrolysis temperatures on the pyrolysis results provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment repeats Embodiment 1 with the same steps, except that in step (3) of this embodiment, the proportion of *Sargentodoxa cuneata* is selected as 0-5%, 15-20%, 25-30%, 35-40%, 45-50%, and 55-60%, and the temperature range is selected as 400-600℃ with a step size of 20℃ based on actual research to study the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the process. The results are as follows: Figures 5a-5c As shown, under different co-production ratios, the biochar yield decreases slightly with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, CO2 emissions increase slightly, but pollutant gases decrease accordingly; when the co-production ratio of *Sargentodoxa cuneata* is high, the biochar yield decreases significantly with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, and there may be a phenomenon of incomplete combustion leading to a significant increase in pollutant gases.

[0096] Currently, there is no established model for the pyrolysis of organic solid waste. Research mainly relies on existing pyrolysis principles and generalizes actual processes to construct models. Existing Aspen Plus simulations of organic solid waste pyrolysis primarily focus on the rapid pyrolysis of bio-oil and the biomass gasification process, rarely conducting comprehensive simulations and analyses of the entire process of biochar production and flue gas flow. This embodiment utilizes the chemical process simulation software Aspen Plus for modeling. Through comparison and selection, the RStoic reactor (DRYER) is preferred to simulate the raw material drying process. The RYield reactor (DECOMP) and RGibbs reactor (PYRO) are used to simulate the generation of pyrolysis volatiles and biochar. The SSplit splitter (SPLIT) is used to simulate the two-phase separation of the generated pyrolysis volatiles and biochar. The RGibbs reactor (HOTWIND) is used to simulate the combustion reaction of the separated pyrolysis volatiles under air-assisted combustion. The heat exchanger is used to simulate the heat exchange process of the high-temperature flue gas (FLUE-GAS) generated after combustion being transported to the other two modules. Through engineering data verification, the prediction of the biochar generation process behavior and the entire process of flue gas generation, combustion, heating, and emission is realized.

[0097] This embodiment provides a typical organic solid waste co-pyrolysis simulation method that can analyze the influencing factors such as the co-proportion of multi-source organic solid waste, pyrolysis temperature, and moisture content of raw materials after drying. By changing process parameters, the method analyzes the impact on results, solving problems in existing technologies such as process flow modeling and simulation of multi-source organic solid waste co-pyrolysis under unique conditions, product generation control, multi-scenario material flow analysis, and energy efficiency sensitivity analysis of co-pyrolysis systems. The research results have significant guiding value for optimizing multi-source organic solid waste pyrolysis processes, reducing resource input, improving resource utilization efficiency, enhancing solid waste resource recovery, and increasing system economic benefits.

This embodiment repeats Embodiment 1 with the same steps, except that in the parameters input in step (3) of this embodiment, the proportion of *Sargentodoxa cuneata* is selected as 0 to 5%, 15 to 20%, 25 to 30%, 35 to 40%, 45 to 50%, and 55 to 60%, respectively. The moisture content of the dried raw material varies between 2% and 20%, with a step size of 2%, to study the effect of moisture content on the process. The results are as follows... Figures 6a-6cAs shown, when the raw materials have low moisture content and high dryness before entering the pyrolysis module, the yield of pyrolyzed biochar will increase, and the impact on pollutant gas emissions will be small while reducing CO2 emissions. When the dryness is insufficient and the moisture content is high, adding *Sargentodoxa cuneata* for synergistic pyrolysis can effectively reduce the rate of biochar loss. However, under synergistic conditions, incomplete combustion is more likely to occur, leading to a significant increase in pollutant gases. Therefore, attention should be paid to increasing the supply of combustion air.

[0100] Currently, organic solid waste pyrolysis faces challenges such as a single source, a relatively fixed operating mode, and an inability to adapt to changes in the source. This embodiment, based on actual engineering pyrolysis processes, utilizes the chemical process simulation software Aspen Plus for modeling. It can simulate typical organic solid waste pyrolysis processes from complex sources (agricultural and forestry, industrial, and urban sources) in multiple scenarios, accurately predict the three-state pyrolysis yields, and simultaneously achieve the simulation, analysis, and controllability of products (biochar and pollutant gases). By combining the advantages of existing models, it realizes the prediction of multi-source typical organic solid waste synergistic pyrolysis resource utilization processes, enriches existing research on single-source organic solid waste pyrolysis carbonization, and has good engineering guidance significance for improving the resource utilization of organic solid waste.

[0101] The multi-source typical organic solid waste co-pyrolysis resource utilization simulation method provided in this embodiment includes five steps: system simulation flowchart establishment, component setting and property method selection, parameter input and simulation operation, analysis tool application, and model verification. It is used to analyze the effects of the co-proportion, pyrolysis temperature, and moisture content of raw materials after drying on biochar yield, carbon dioxide production, and pollutant gas production of typical organic solid waste from multiple complex sources such as agricultural and forestry, industrial, and urban sources. It optimizes the multi-source organic solid waste co-pyrolysis process, reduces resource input, improves resource utilization efficiency, improves solid waste resource utilization efficiency, and increases the system's economic benefits.
