[0002] Currently, food waste is typically disposed of through incineration or landfill. Landfilling is simple and inexpensive, but it leaves behind a large number of bacteria, viruses, and heavy metal contaminants, and leachate can cause long-term pollution of groundwater, resulting in serious secondary pollution.

[0070] The technical solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0071] In the following embodiments, the source of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastewater is Shanghai Huasheng Chemical Plant, and the source of the sludge is Shanghai Gaoqiao Petrochemical Company.

[0072] Example 1

[0073] N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, and water were stirred at 300 rpm and mixed thoroughly. Then, nickel nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were added sequentially, and the mixture was stirred at 300 rpm for 1 h. The mass ratio of nickel nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, and water was 4:1:5:80:80:80. The resulting mixed solution was reacted at 150 °C for 10 h. After the reaction was completed, the system was naturally cooled to 25 °C, washed four times with water at 10,000 rpm, then washed five times with anhydrous ethanol at 10,000 rpm, and finally dried at 80 °C for 12 h to obtain the Ni-MOF catalyst.

[0074] Leftover food, rice, and fruit peels are separated in a solid-liquid separation device to obtain solid separation and landfill leachate. The landfill leachate, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastewater, catalyst, 0.35 mol / L sodium sulfide solution, and 0.25 mol / L sodium sulfite solution are mixed in a photocatalytic quartz reactor (the mass ratio of landfill leachate to PCB wastewater is 1:10, and the mass ratio of the sum of the landfill leachate and PCB wastewater to the catalyst, sodium sulfide solution, and sodium sulfite solution is 2000:1). The mixture (1:200:200) was reacted at 310 r / min in the dark for 30 min, followed by reaction under a 300W xenon lamp for 3 h to obtain hydrogen gas. The solid-liquid mixture and sludge (mass ratio of solid-liquid to sludge 1:4) were mixed and dried in a dryer at 50°C for 60 min, then crushed in a crusher, and finally hydrothermally carbonized in a hydrothermal reactor at 205°C and 1.25 MPa for 1.5 h. After carbonization, the mixture was transferred to a solid-liquid separation device. The process involves obtaining hydrothermal carbon and liquid separation. The liquid separation is then fed into an ammonia recovery unit to obtain condensed ammonia. The hydrothermal carbon is naturally cooled to 25°C and then dried at 38°C for 49 minutes. It is then mixed with a portion of the condensed ammonia (the calorific value ratio of hydrothermal carbon to condensed ammonia is 10:2.5) in a boiler and burned at 1000°C. The resulting flue gas heats the liquid water and produces high-temperature steam. Through constant-pressure vaporization, the steam is converted into superheated steam at the boiler outlet. The superheated steam then enters the turbine, expands, and performs work, causing the blades to rotate and driving the generator to produce electricity. A portion of hydrogen and a portion of the condensed ammonia (the mass ratio of hydrogen to condensed ammonia is 3:7) are mixed in an ammonia-hydrogen engine and burned at 1900°C to obtain flue gas. This flue gas expands and performs work, driving the piston. The remaining hydrogen is fed into a fuel cell system, which directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, which powers the ammonia-hydrogen engine. This forms a zero-carbon internal combustion engine and fuel cell combined thermal-electric power system for power output.

[0075] In this embodiment, up to the hydrogen production step in the photocatalytic quartz reactor, the hydrogen production rate is 2.5 times that of directly photocatalyzing kitchen waste (without adding PCB wastewater, catalyst, or electron donor solution).

[0076] In this embodiment, carbon emissions are reduced by 50% when the boiler incorporates condensing ammonia for combustion compared to direct combustion without condensing ammonia.

Nickel nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were then added sequentially, and the mixture was stirred at 320 r / min for 0.8 h. The mass ratio of nickel nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, and water was 3.7:0.7:4.7:77:77:75. The resulting mixture was reacted at 145 °C for 9.5 h. After the reaction, the system was naturally cooled to 20 °C, washed five times with water at 9000 r / min, then washed three times with anhydrous ethanol at 9000 r / min, and finally dried at 70 °C for 13 h to obtain the Ni-MOF catalyst.

[0079] Leftover food, rice, and fruit peels are separated in a solid-liquid separation device to obtain solid separation and landfill leachate. The landfill leachate, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastewater, catalyst, 0.32 mol / L sodium sulfide solution, and 0.23 mol / L sodium sulfite solution are mixed in a photocatalytic quartz reactor (the mass ratio of landfill leachate to PCB wastewater is 1:9, and the mass ratio of landfill leachate to catalyst, sodium sulfide solution, and sodium sulfite solution is 1970:0.8). The mixture (195:195) was reacted at 280 r / min in the dark for 35 min, followed by reaction under a 270 W xenon lamp for 3.3 h to obtain hydrogen. The solid-liquid mixture and sludge (mass ratio of solid-liquid mixture to sludge was 1:3.7) were mixed and dried in a dryer at 42 °C for 70 min, then crushed in a crusher, and finally hydrothermally carbonized in a hydrothermal reactor at 200 °C and 1.2 MPa for 1.8 h. After carbonization, the mixture was transferred to a solid-liquid separation device. The process yields hydrothermal carbon and a liquid separator. The liquid separator is then fed into an ammonia recovery unit to obtain condensed ammonia. The hydrothermal carbon is naturally cooled to 20°C and then dried at 35°C for 52 minutes. It is then mixed with a portion of the condensed ammonia (the calorific value ratio of hydrothermal carbon to condensed ammonia is 10:2.2) in a boiler and burned at 950°C. The resulting flue gas heats the liquid water, producing high-temperature steam. Through constant-pressure vaporization, the steam is ultimately converted into superheated steam at the boiler outlet. The superheated steam then enters the turbine for expansion. The engine performs work, causing the blades to rotate and drive the generator to produce electricity. A portion of hydrogen and a portion of condensed ammonia (with a mass ratio of 2.7:6.5) are mixed in the ammonia-hydrogen engine and burned at 1850°C to produce flue gas. This flue gas expands and performs work, driving the piston. The remaining hydrogen is fed into the fuel cell system, which directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, supplying power to the ammonia-hydrogen engine. This forms a zero-carbon internal combustion engine and fuel cell combined thermal-electric power system for power output.

[0080] In this embodiment, up to the hydrogen production step in the photocatalytic quartz reactor, the hydrogen production rate is 2.37 times that of directly photocatalyzing kitchen waste (without adding PCB wastewater, catalyst, or electron donor solution).

[0081] In this embodiment, carbon emissions are reduced by 45% when the boiler incorporates condensing ammonia for combustion compared to direct combustion without condensing ammonia.

Nickel nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were then added sequentially, and the mixture was stirred at 280 r / min for 1.2 h. The mass ratio of nickel nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethanol, and water was 4.3:1.3:5.5:83:83:83. The resulting mixture was reacted at 155 °C for 9.5 h. After the reaction, the system was naturally cooled to 28 °C, washed three times with water at 11000 r / min, then washed four times with anhydrous ethanol at 11000 r / min, and finally dried at 90 °C for 11 h to obtain the Ni-MOF catalyst.

[0084] Leftover food, rice, and fruit peels are separated in a solid-liquid separation device to obtain solid separation and landfill leachate. The landfill leachate, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastewater, catalyst, 0.38 mol / L sodium sulfide solution, and 0.28 mol / L sodium sulfite solution are mixed in a photocatalytic quartz reactor (the mass ratio of landfill leachate to PCB wastewater is 1:11, and the mass ratio of the sum of landfill leachate and PCB wastewater to catalyst, sodium sulfide solution, and sodium sulfite solution is 2030:1). The mixture of solids and sludge (3:205:205) was reacted at 350 r / min in the dark for 25 min, followed by irradiation under a 330 W xenon lamp for 2.7 h to obtain hydrogen. The solids and sludge (mass ratio of solids to sludge was 1:4.5) were mixed and dried in a dryer at 63 °C for 52 min, then crushed in a crusher, and finally hydrothermally carbonized in a hydrothermal reactor at 210 °C and 1.3 MPa for 1.2 h. After carbonization, the mixture was transferred to a solid-liquid separation device. The process yields hydrothermal carbon and a liquid separator. The liquid separator is then fed into an ammonia recovery unit to obtain condensed ammonia. The hydrothermal carbon is naturally cooled to 30°C, then dried at 40°C for 46 minutes. It is then mixed with a portion of the condensed ammonia (the calorific value ratio of hydrothermal carbon to condensed ammonia is 10:2.8) in a boiler and burned at 1050°C. The resulting flue gas heats the liquid water, producing high-temperature steam. Through constant-pressure vaporization, the steam is ultimately converted into superheated steam at the boiler outlet. This superheated steam then enters the turbine for expansion. The expansion of the turbine blades causes them to rotate, which in turn drives the generator to produce electricity. A mixture of hydrogen and condensed ammonia (in a mass ratio of 3.3:7.3) is placed in the ammonia-hydrogen engine and burned at 1950°C to produce flue gas. This flue gas expands and drives the piston. The remaining hydrogen is fed into a fuel cell system, which directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, powering the ammonia-hydrogen engine. This forms a zero-carbon internal combustion engine and fuel cell combined thermal-electric power system for power output.

[0085] In this embodiment, up to the hydrogen production step in the photocatalytic quartz reactor, the hydrogen production rate is 2.46 times that of directly photocatalyzing kitchen waste (without adding PCB wastewater, catalyst, or electron donor solution).

[0086] In this embodiment, carbon emissions are reduced by 47.5% when the boiler incorporates condensing ammonia for combustion compared to direct combustion without condensing ammonia.

[0087] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a food waste treatment system, comprising the following devices: a solid-liquid separation device, a dryer, a crusher, a hydrothermal reactor, an ammonia recovery unit, a photocatalytic quartz reactor, an ammonia-hydrogen engine, a fuel cell system, a boiler, a steam turbine, and a generator. The entire system has a reasonable structural design, achieving the technical objective of co-treating food waste, sludge, and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastewater while simultaneously reducing the volume of waste on a large scale, thus maximizing the energy and resource utilization of waste.

[0088] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
