Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air pollution control, specifically to a biological packing material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] As public awareness of environmental protection gradually increases, the number of controlled odor indicators is gradually increasing, and emission limits for odor pollutants are becoming stricter. Biological deodorization technology is currently the most widely used deodorization technology. Packing materials play a crucial role in this technology, serving as both an important source of nutrition and support for microbial growth, and a medium for pollutant transfer; their performance directly affects the treatment effect of waste gas.
[0003] For odor control, the current challenge in biotechnology lies in finding a continuously efficient packing material that can both provide the nutrients needed for microbial growth and maintain a suitable microenvironment for the growth of highly efficient degrading bacteria. Commercially available biological packing materials can be categorized into inorganic, organic, and mixed packing materials based on their composition. Common inorganic packing materials, such as expanded clay, volcanic rock, perlite, and bamboo charcoal, do not contain the nutrients required for microbial growth and require periodic addition of nutrients during operation. Organic packing materials, such as bark, sawdust, peat, and organic fertilizer, have low mechanical strength, easily causing bed compaction and increasing operating resistance. Mixed packing materials, through proper compounding and full utilization of the advantages of each component, can compensate for the shortcomings of single-component packing materials and are currently the most widely used packing method. However, in practical applications, they suffer from problems such as difficulty in controlling the proportions, poor durability, and susceptibility to local collapse causing short-circuiting.
[0004] Currently, the development of biological packing materials in China is still in its initial stage. Research and development achievements are limited by factors such as cost and long-term operational intensity, failing to fully resolve the aforementioned problems of commercially available packing materials, and few have been successfully industrialized. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a packing material that can provide nutrients, possess good mechanical strength, and effectively and sustainably enhance deodorization. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the deficiencies of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a biological filler and its preparation method and application, so that the biological filler can provide nutrients, have good mechanical strength, and effectively improve the deodorization effect in a long-term manner.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a biological filler comprising the following components in parts by weight: 5-10 parts of iron hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles, 2-10 parts of cyclodextrin, 5 parts of diatomaceous earth, 5-20 parts of biochar, 20-35 parts of ceramsite with through-pores, and 20-30 parts of silicate; further comprising calcium hydroxide and / or calcium salts, wherein the calcium element in the calcium hydroxide and / or calcium salts is 0.035-0.090 parts by weight.
[0007] The biological packing material utilizes ceramic particles with through holes, which on the one hand stores a large amount of nutrients and can slowly release the nutrients needed for microbial growth during operation; on the other hand, it provides a rigid skeleton, which still has high mechanical strength after releasing nutrients, and can avoid problems such as flow interruption and local anaerobicness caused by the collapse of organic or mixed packing materials.
[0008] The bio-filler utilizes ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles to provide nano-iron. Compared to conventional iron oxide, nano-iron has a larger specific surface area, providing more active contact sites and exhibiting stronger catalytic activity. Furthermore, humic acid can promote Fe... 2+ / 3+ As an electron donor / acceptor, Fe participates in redox reactions, giving it stronger catalytic activity. Simultaneously, under the influence of microorganisms and acid / alkali conditions, the bio-filler can slowly release Fe and humic acid into the solution system, forming a humic acid-iron catalytic system on the filler surface and in the circulating liquid. This effectively promotes the redox reactions of the microorganisms. The humic acid-iron catalytic system can also absorb O2 generated during the degradation of H2S and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). - It contains reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as · and HO·, which alleviate the oxidative stress they cause and enhance the purification efficiency of microorganisms. The ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex is not easily lost, ensuring a stable iron-humic acid catalytic system in the biological packing material.
[0009] The biological filler can slowly release nutrients, maintain the microenvironment for bacterial growth for a long time, enhance biochemical reactions, and the preparation method is simple, which is convenient for process production and application.
[0010] Preferably, the average particle size of the iron hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles is 5–100 nm.
[0011] Preferably, in the ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles, the mass ratio of ferric hydroxide to humic acid is 1:2 to 2:1. If the mass ratio of ferric hydroxide to humic acid is too high, the humic acid loading will be too low, resulting in poor long-term performance of the filler. If the mass ratio is too low, a large amount of humic acid will not be fixed on the surface of the ferric hydroxide and will easily be lost. When the mass ratio of ferric hydroxide to humic acid is within the above range, the humic acid can be fixed on the surface of the ferric hydroxide through complexation and has a high loading, giving the biological filler better sustained-release performance and long-term use performance.
[0012] Preferably, the ceramsite with through-holes satisfies at least one of conditions (I)-(II):
[0013] (I) The average diameter of the through holes in the ceramsite having through holes is 0.5 to 5.0 mm;
[0014] (II) The porosity of the ceramsite with through-holes is 70-85%.
[0015] If the diameter of the through hole is too large, the packing will have insufficient mechanical strength and be prone to breakage. At the same time, the complex of ferric hydroxide and humic acid will be easily lost, affecting performance. If the diameter of the through hole is too small, the complex of ferric hydroxide and humic acid will be difficult to load and the loading capacity will be low. When the width of the through hole is within the above range, the packing has good mechanical strength, the complex of ferric hydroxide and humic acid is easy to load and the loading capacity is stable. The slow-release performance and long-term service performance of the packing are superior.
[0016] Excessive porosity of ceramsite leads to poor water retention capacity of the packing material and insufficient contact between the flowing waste gas and the packing material and biofilm, which is not conducive to the removal of pollutants. Conversely, excessively low porosity of ceramsite results in excessive flow resistance of waste gas, making it prone to clogging, and also hinders microbial biofilm formation, affecting the treatment effect. When the porosity of ceramsite is within the above-mentioned range, the packing material has good water retention capacity, strong biological adhesion, and is not prone to clogging, which is conducive to the efficient treatment of waste gas.
[0017] Preferably, the cyclodextrin is at least one selected from α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and γ-cyclodextrin. More preferably, the cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin.
[0018] Cyclodextrin molecules have a hollow, three-dimensional ring structure. α-Cyclodextrin molecules have smaller cavities, allowing them to encapsulate only small molecules; γ-Cyclodextrin molecules have larger cavities, but higher production costs; while β-Cyclodextrin molecules have moderately sized cavities, making them suitable for a wider range of applications. Compared to α- and γ-cyclodextrins, using β-cyclodextrin results in higher odor removal rates and longer, sustainable, and stable operation of biological packing materials.
[0019] In some embodiments, the particle size of the ceramsite is 10-25 mm.
[0020] In some embodiments, the ceramsite also contains residual plant fibers, with the plant fiber content being less than 2% by mass.
[0021] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned biological packing material, comprising the following steps:
[0022] (1) Mix aggregate, water and plant fiber evenly, granulate, air dry, heat and fire, cool and anneal to obtain ceramsite with through holes;
[0023] (2) Dissolve soluble ferric salt in water to obtain ferric salt solution, keep the ferric salt solution at 80-95℃, add ammonia-ethanol-water solution, add humic acid solution while stirring, and then continue to keep warm, cool, filter, wash and dry to obtain black precipitate, which is ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles.
[0024] (3) Add cyclodextrin to water and stir until completely dissolved. Then add calcium oxide and continue stirring until completely dissolved to obtain sol A.
[0025] (4) Mix the nanoparticles of the iron hydroxide-humic acid complex obtained in step (2), diatomaceous earth, biochar and silicate evenly to obtain powder;
[0026] (5) Disperse the iron hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles obtained in step (2) in water to obtain sol B;
[0027] (6) Soak the ceramic particles with through holes obtained in step (1) in the sol obtained in step (5), air dry them, and then soak them in the sol obtained in step (3). Then place them in a granulator and rotate them at a constant speed. Sprinkle the powder obtained in step (4) into the granulator multiple times evenly. Spray sol A before each powder is sprinkled, granulate, and obtain the biological filler.
[0028] The preparation method of the biological filler adopts a process of mixing and firing plant fiber and aggregate, which can form a continuous porous structure in the aggregate; the firing process adopts programmed heating and annealing, which is conducive to the stable molding of aggregate and enhances structural strength.
[0029] The preparation method of the bio-filler involves reacting ferric iron with ammonia in hot water to form nano-Fe(OH)3 micelles. The abundant carboxyl groups in humic acid coordinate with iron, fixing the humic acid onto the micelles. After filtration, washing, and drying, ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles are obtained. These nano-iron hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles provide nano-iron, which, compared to conventional iron oxide, has a larger specific surface area, providing more active contact sites and stronger catalytic activity. Furthermore, humic acid can promote the catalytic activity of Fe... 2+ / 3+ As an electron donor / acceptor, Fe participates in redox reactions, giving it stronger catalytic activity. Simultaneously, under the influence of microorganisms and acid / alkali conditions, the bio-filler can slowly release Fe and humic acid into the solution system, forming a humic acid-iron catalytic system on the filler surface and in the circulating liquid. This effectively promotes the redox reactions of the microorganisms. The humic acid-iron catalytic system can also absorb O2 generated during the degradation of H2S and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). - It contains reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as · and HO·, which alleviate the oxidative stress they cause and enhance the purification efficiency of microorganisms. The ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex is not easily lost, ensuring a stable iron-humic acid catalytic system in the biological packing material.
[0030] When the reaction temperature between ferric iron and ammonia is too high or too low, nano-Fe(OH)3 micelles cannot be formed, thus preventing the formation of ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles. Replacing ammonia with a strong alkaline solution, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solution, also fails to form nano-Fe(OH)3 micelles. Only the use of ammonia ensures the formation of nano-Fe(OH)3 micelles, thereby forming ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles.
[0031] Preferably, the aggregate comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30-40 parts sludge, 30-40 parts fly ash, 5-10 parts phosphate rock, 5-10 parts clay ore, 1-5 parts magnesium hydroxide, 0.1-1 parts borate, 0.1-2 parts copper hydroxide, 0.1-1 parts molybdate, and 0.1-1 parts cobaltite.
[0032] The ceramsite uses sludge, fly ash, and other materials as aggregates, which is inexpensive and realizes the resource utilization of solid waste. At the same time, the added raw materials such as phosphate rock, magnesium hydroxide, borates, copper hydroxide, molybdates, and cobaltite can form corresponding slightly soluble salts, sparingly soluble salts, or oxides during the aggregate firing process. During use, inorganic nutrients such as P, Mg, B, Cu, Mo, and Co are slowly released through water solubility, acid-base reaction, and coordination, providing inorganic nutrients for microorganisms in a long-term and effective manner.
[0033] In some embodiments, the sludge used is dewatered sludge from plate and frame filter presses with a moisture content of 60-80%, containing calcium hydroxide and / or calcium salts, enabling the prepared biological packing material to slowly release calcium and achieve pH buffering. In other embodiments, the sludge preparation method includes the following steps: adding lime to activated sludge with a moisture content of 80%, mixing evenly to obtain sludge with a moisture content of 60-80%, wherein the mass of lime is 7-30% of the total mass of activated sludge and lime, and the subsequent water addition is adjusted accordingly.
[0034] Phosphate rock enables the biofill material to release phosphorus slowly. In some embodiments, the phosphate rock is selected from at least one of insoluble phosphates such as fluorapatite, chlorapatite, and hydroxyapatite.
[0035] In some embodiments, the clay mineral is selected from at least one of montmorillonite, kaolinite, vermiculite, etc., and its main component is aluminosilicate.
[0036] Magnesium hydroxide, when calcined, forms magnesium oxide and magnesium salts, enabling the biofiller to release magnesium in a slow-release manner.
[0037] Borates enable the biofill material to release boron in a slow-release manner. In some embodiments, the borate is selected from at least one of borazite, hydroborazite, borax, calcium borate, boromagnesia, etc.
[0038] Copper hydroxide enables the biological filler to release copper slowly.
[0039] Molybdates enable biofillers to release molybdenum in a slow-release manner. In some embodiments, the molybdate is selected from at least one of molybdenite, molybdenite, and molybdenum-copper ore.
[0040] Cobaltite enables biofillers to release cobalt in a slow-release manner.
[0041] Preferably, the volume ratio of the iron salt solution, ammonia-ethanol-water solution, and humic acid solution used in step (2) is 10:1:2-10, the mass concentration of soluble trivalent iron salt in the iron salt solution is 1-5%, the mass ratio of ammonia monohydrate, ethanol, and water in the ammonia-ethanol-water solution is 5-20:30:50-65, the mass concentration of humic acid in the humic acid solution is 1-5%, and the addition rate of the ammonia-ethanol-water solution is 10 mL / min / (1L iron salt solution).
[0042] Preferably, in step (3), the mass ratio of cyclodextrin, calcium oxide, and water used in sol A is 5-10:2-5:10-20, and the total weight of sol A accounts for 5-25% of the total weight of all raw materials used in the preparation of the biological filler. More preferably, in step (3), the total weight of sol A accounts for 20-25% of the total weight of all raw materials used in the preparation of the biological filler.
[0043] If the mass ratio of cyclodextrin used in step (3) is too large, it will be difficult to form the biological packing. If the mass ratio is too small, the cyclodextrin content in the biological packing will be too low and the effect will be insignificant. When the mass ratio of cyclodextrin, calcium oxide and water is 5-10:2-5:10-20, the biological packing is easy to form and the cyclodextrin content is moderate. In particular, when the cyclodextrin is β-cyclodextrin, the solubilizing effect on insoluble VOCs is more obvious, which can enhance the treatment performance of biological packing on insoluble VOCs.
[0044] If the total proportion of cyclodextrin, calcium oxide and water used in step (3) in all the raw materials for preparing biological packing is too large, it will lead to a significant reduction in the mechanical strength of the biological packing and make it easy to break and compact. If the proportion is too small, it will make it difficult to form the biological packing. When the proportion is in the range of 5-25%, the biological packing is easy to form and has high mechanical strength. In particular, when the proportion is in the range of 20-25%, it can effectively enhance the adsorption and degradation performance of the biological packing for insoluble VOCs.
[0045] Preferably, the preparation method satisfies at least one of conditions (a)-(k):
[0046] (a) In step (1), the average length of the plant fiber is 15-30 mm and the average diameter is 0.5-5.0 mm;
[0047] (b) In step (1), the plant fiber includes at least one of straw fiber, bamboo fiber, sugarcane fiber, and coconut shell fiber;
[0048] (c) In step (1), the volume ratio of the aggregate to the plant fiber is (4-5):1, and the weight of the water used is 5-20% of the total weight of the aggregate and the plant fiber.
[0049] (d) In step (1), the air drying operation is carried out in an environment of 15-30℃ and humidity ≤70% for 18-30 hours;
[0050] (e) In step (1), the specific steps of heating and firing include: heating to 200-300℃ at a heating rate of 5-20℃ / min, holding for 1-2 hours, then heating to 550-600℃ at a heating rate of 5-10℃ / min, holding for 10-30 minutes, then heating to 750-800℃ at a heating rate of 5-40℃ / min, holding for 10-30 minutes, and then heating to 950-1000℃ at a heating rate of 5-40℃ / min, holding for 10-30 minutes;
[0051] (f) In step (1), the specific steps of cooling annealing include: cooling to 700±10℃ at a cooling rate of ≤4℃ / min, then cooling to 400±10℃ at a cooling rate of ≤2℃ / min, and then naturally cooling to room temperature.
[0052] (g) In step (2), after adding the humic acid solution, continue to keep warm for 30 to 60 minutes;
[0053] (h) The mass ratio of the iron hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles used in steps (4) and (5) is (1-2):1;
[0054] (i) The mass concentration of the ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex in the sol B obtained in step (5) is 1 to 10%;
[0055] (j) In step (6), the rotation speed of the uniform rotation is controlled at 25-35 r / min, and the turntable angle is controlled at 30-40°;
[0056] (k) In step (6), the specific steps for granulating the powder obtained in step (4) by repeatedly and evenly sprinkling it into the granulator are as follows: spray sol A before each sprinkling of powder, and sprinkle the powder into the granulator in 10-20 batches with an interval of 2 minutes.
[0057] Preferably, the granulation is followed by sieving to remove unqualified mud particles. In some embodiments, sieving removes unqualified mud particles with a particle size of less than 5 mm.
[0058] In some embodiments, the method for preparing plant fiber includes the following steps: crushing the plant fiber raw material to a particle size of 15-30 mm, drying it, and then molding it through physical kneading or chemical pyrolysis. In some embodiments, the plant fiber raw material is selected from at least one of straw, bamboo, sugarcane bagasse, coconut shell, etc.
[0059] In some embodiments, aggregates, water, and plant fibers are mixed in a mixer, such as a V-type mixer or a double cone mixer. In some embodiments, aggregates, water, and plant fibers are added to the mixer in 5-10 batches, with each batch containing the same proportion of aggregates, water, and plant fibers. The mixing speed is controlled at 10-20 r / min, and each batch is mixed for 8-20 minutes.
[0060] Thirdly, the present invention also provides the application of the biological packing material or the biological packing material prepared by the preparation method in odor treatment.
[0061] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0062] (1) The biological packing material of the present invention utilizes ceramic particles with through holes to store a large amount of nutrients and realize the slow release of nutrients. At the same time, it provides a rigid skeleton and still has high mechanical strength after releasing nutrients. This can avoid problems such as flow interruption and local anaerobicness caused by the collapse of organic packing or mixed packing, and ensure that the biological packing material has good durability.
[0063] (2) The biofiller of this invention utilizes ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex nanoparticles to provide nano-iron. Due to the large specific surface area of nano-iron, its catalytic activity is very strong. At the same time, the humic acid enhances the catalytic activity of iron, effectively promoting the redox reaction of microorganisms. The ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex can also absorb O2 generated during the degradation of H2S, VOCs, etc. - The presence of reactive oxygen species such as · and HO· alleviates the oxidative stress caused by them, enhances the purification efficiency of microorganisms, and ensures that the iron hydroxide-humic acid complex is not easily lost, thus ensuring that the biological packing has a stable iron-humic acid catalytic system.
[0064] (3) The biological filler of the present invention can slowly release nutrients, maintain the microenvironment for bacterial growth for a long time, enhance biochemical reactions, and the preparation method is simple, which is convenient for process production and application.

[0077] Example 2
[0078] This embodiment provides a biological filler comprising the following components in parts by weight: 5 parts of ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex, 10 parts of β-cyclodextrin, 5 parts of diatomaceous earth, 5 parts of biochar, 35 parts of pore-forming ceramic particles, and 20 parts of silicate; it also includes calcium hydroxide and calcium salt, wherein the total calcium content of the calcium hydroxide and calcium salt is 0.035 parts by weight, and the ferric hydroxide-humic acid complex is in the form of nanoparticles.
