Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of biogas slurry treatment, and particularly relates to a treatment method for stabilizing biogas slurry based on natural cold energy and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a byproduct of biogas engineering, the bottleneck problem in large-scale biogas engineering at present is how to quickly consume biogas slurry. The difficulty in biogas slurry consumption directly limits the promotion and long-term efficient and stable operation of biogas engineering. Although biogas slurry reflux can partially consume biogas slurry, the treatment capacity is low and cannot meet the large-scale biogas slurry treatment. The traditional aerobic biological treatment method needs to install an aeration system due to the high content of refractory organic matter, thereby increasing the treatment investment and operation cost. Although biogas slurry concentration can recover nutrients and reduce the volume of biogas slurry, pretreatment is required before membrane filtration. The biogas slurry produced by large and medium-sized biogas engineering still has the characteristics of undegraded organic matter and low oxidation-reduction potential after biogas slurry concentration treatment, and there is a great environmental risk if it is directly used as a fertilizer and returned to the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the stability of biogas slurry and reduce the pollution to the atmosphere and soil. The chemical method can achieve the purpose of improving the stability of biogas slurry, but the investment and operation cost is high, secondary pollution is serious, and it is not conducive to agricultural use of biogas slurry. SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the technical problem that the prior art cannot quickly consume biogas slurry, the application provides a treatment method for stabilizing biogas slurry based on natural cold energy and application.
[0004] One of the purposes of the application is to provide a treatment method for stabilizing biogas slurry based on natural cold energy, which comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step 2: a certain proportion of chitosan is added to the wood vinegar to obtain a flocculating agent;
[0007] Step 3: the flocculating agent obtained in step 2 is added to the freeze-thaw supernatant obtained in step 1, and after being placed for 24 hours, a composite adsorbent is added and continued to be placed for 12-24 hours. The supernatant is absorbed to obtain flocculation and adsorption supernatant and flocculation and adsorption precipitate;
[0008] Step 4: the flocculation and adsorption supernatant is adjusted to neutral to obtain stabilized biogas slurry.
[0009] Further limitation, the flocculating agent in step 2 has a mass concentration of 0.5-2%.

[0013] Further limited, the mass ratio of activated carbon, bentonite and zeolite powder in the composite adsorbent is (0.5-1):(0.5-1):1.
[0014] Further limited, the particle size of the composite adsorbent in step 3 is 50-100 mesh.

[0057] Example of effect 1:
[0058] The turbidity of the fermentation broths of Examples 1, 5-6, and Comparative Example 1 after treatment with flocculant was measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 As can be seen, the effects of chitosan with different molecular weights on flocculation are not significantly different. In actual operation, considering the processing cost, chitosan with a moderate molecular weight can be selected. As for the flocculation time, complete flocculation can be achieved after standing for 24 hours.
[0059] Example 2:
[0060] The turbidity of the fermentation broth after 24 hours of flocculation treatment in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 2-3 was measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 As can be seen, different flocculant addition ratios have a significant impact on flocculation. A 5% addition can achieve complete flocculation of biogas slurry. Depending on the suspended matter content in the biogas slurry and the cost of flocculation, a treatment concentration of 5%-11% can be selected.
[0061] Example of effect 3:
