Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular relates to a "low-carbon, zero-discharge" sewer-free toilet system. Background Art
[0002] Toilets are the most important and common sanitary facilities in daily life. In my country's rural revitalization and beautiful countryside construction, household toilet renovation has become one of the important indicators for achieving a well-off society in an all-round way with high quality. However, there is still a huge gap in the demand for toilets in rural areas without municipal sewers, scattered farmers, parks, scenic spots, farms, forest farms and grasslands, which cannot effectively meet the people's demand for hygienic, comfortable and convenient toilets.
[0003] Currently, the widely used dry toilets without sewers usually have a foul smell, breed mosquitoes and flies, and even easily cause the spread of diseases, which seriously threatens environmental hygiene and people's health. The disorderly stacking of feces and sewage in dry toilets easily produces CO 2 , CH 4 and other greenhouse gases, which is not conducive to the achievement of the global "dual carbon" goals. Although dry toilet composting can improve the efficiency of fecal waste resource utilization, sanitation problems are usually not easy to solve. Flush toilets are often used for low-cost renovation of dry toilets, but on the one hand, they require a lot of water for flushing, which greatly wastes water resources; on the other hand, flushing brings a lot of sewage. Because the amount of water is too large, it is no longer suitable for composting in dry toilets. The lack of municipal pipelines means the lack of sewage treatment facilities, which brings serious potential pollution problems. Sewage treatment facilities can be added in the renovation of water flush toilets. Aerobic sewage treatment will lead to the loss of resources such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Organic matter is oxidized to CO after treatment. 2 , and wastewater treatment consumes energy, which is an unsustainable manure management model. Although anaerobic treatment of manure can produce biogas, there are also problems with biogas management and utilization. Biogas escape will also cause carbon emissions, and there is a lack of corresponding assessment. Both aerobic and anaerobic treatments will cause carbon emissions.
[0004] The non-sewered sanitation system emphasizes resource-based processing technology, which can convert human waste into organic fertilizer or energy, realize resource recycling, reduce waste emissions, comply with the country's green and low-carbon requirements and strategies, and play an important role in reducing water pollution and protecting the environment.

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] Combine the following Figure 1 — Figure 5 The "low-carbon, zero-emission" non-sewered toilet system provided in the embodiments of the present invention is described.
[0051] Specifically, the "low-carbon, zero-emission" sewer-free toilet system includes a source separation ecological toilet 1, a pretreatment device, a solar collector 4, a first container 5, a membrane distillation device 6, a feces collection tank 11, a biological flocculation tank 12, a storage tank 13, a reactor, and a product separation unit 16.
[0052] Among them, the source separation ecological toilet 1 is used to separate urine and feces from the source.
[0053] The feed inlet of the pretreatment device is connected to the urine discharge outlet of the source separation ecological toilet, and is used for adding medicine, stirring and static sedimentation treatment of the source separation urine.
[0054] The feed port of the solar heat collector 4 is connected to the discharge port of the pretreatment device, and the urine in the pretreatment device is heated by solar energy.
[0055] The feed port of the first container 5 is communicated with the discharge port of the solar thermal collector 4 .
[0056] The membrane distillation device 6 is used to distill the heated urine to form a concentrated liquid and a distillate. The membrane distillation device 6 includes a urine inlet 7, a concentrated liquid outlet 8, and a distillate outlet 9. The urine inlet 7 is connected to the outlet of the first container 5, and the concentrated liquid outlet 8 is connected to the feed inlet of the first container 5.
[0057] The feed inlet of the feces collection tank 11 is connected to the feces discharge outlet of the source separation ecological toilet 1, and is used to collect and store source separated feces.
[0058] The feed inlet of the biological flocculation tank 12 is connected to the discharge outlet of the feces collection tank 11, and is used for solid-liquid separation of source separated feces.

[0060] The feed inlet of the reactor is connected to the discharge outlet of the storage tank 13 for preheating the concentrated solution and generating a hydrothermal reaction.
[0061] The feed inlet of the product separation unit 16 is connected to the discharge port of the reactor for separating the hydrothermal reaction product.
[0062] Membrane distillation technology and hydrothermal reaction belong to the content of prior art. The principle of membrane distillation technology is: water molecules in the hot side liquid evaporate and vaporize, pass through the micropores of the hydrophobic microporous membrane 25 to enter the cold side, and non-volatile solutes such as ions and molecules in the water phase cannot pass through the hydrophobic membrane, thereby achieving the purpose of solution separation, concentration or purification.
[0063] Hydrothermal reaction refers to an effective method for inorganic synthesis and material processing in which an aqueous solution is used as the reaction system in a specially designed closed reactor. By heating and pressurizing the reaction system, a relatively high temperature and high pressure reaction environment is created, so that normally insoluble or insoluble substances can be dissolved and recrystallized.
[0064] The "low-carbon, zero-emission" sewer-free toilet system provided in the embodiment of the present invention separates urine and feces from the source through a source separation ecological toilet. In the pretreatment device, the urine is treated by dosing, stirring and static sedimentation. By adding a stabilizer to the urine, the urine is stabilized to avoid the hydrolysis of urea in the urine and reduce the odor produced by the hydrolysis of urea. Static sedimentation can remove solid matter in the urine. The supernatant after static sedimentation is introduced into a solar collector for heating. The urine in the solar collector is then introduced into a first container, and then introduced into a membrane distillation device for distillation, the concentrated liquid is introduced into the first container, and the distillate is discharged from the distillate outlet. After the feces are collected, they enter the biological flocculation tank to achieve solid-liquid separation. The separated concentrated liquid is then introduced into a storage tank, and then introduced into a reactor for preheating and hydrothermal reaction. The reaction product is separated into hydrothermal carbon and nutrient solution in the product separation unit.
[0065] Through source separation ecological toilets, urine and feces are separated from the source. After urine treatment, it can meet the requirements of sanitary resource utilization. After feces solid organic matter is treated, it can be used as land fertilizer, thus realizing the resource utilization of toilet feces, providing fertility for the soil, solving the problem of land barrenness, saving fertilizer resources and water consumption, and having very significant economic benefits. More importantly, the use of independent non-sewered toilet systems can greatly reduce the complete set of technologies and key equipment required for municipal pipe network construction, and provide technical support to meet the toilet system needs of the people in my country's non-sewered scenes. In terms of environmental benefits, this type of ecological and environmentally friendly toilet has no pollutant emissions, which helps to reduce chemical oxygen demand COD, nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants. At the same time, it can reduce carbon emissions in sewage treatment of traditional dry toilets or water-flushing toilets, improve the sanitation level of the living environment, and serve human health.

[0068] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the pretreatment device includes a stirring mechanism 19 and a pH value detection device 18 .
[0069] The stirring mechanism 19 is used to stir the urine so that the medicine in the urine can be quickly dissolved after the medicine is added. For example, the stirring mechanism 19 may include a stirring blade and a motor. The output shaft of the motor is transmission-connected with the stirring blade to drive the stirring blade to rotate.
[0070] The pH value detection device 18 is used to detect the pH value of urine. For example, the pH value detection device 18 can be a pH detector.
[0071] Stabilizers, such as calcium hydroxide and / or sodium hydroxide, are added to the urine and stirred by the stirring mechanism 19 so that the stabilizer can be quickly dissolved and evenly distributed. The pH value detection device 18 can detect the pH value of the urine, and the addition of the stabilizer is stopped when the pH value of the urine is greater than or equal to 10.5.
[0072] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the pretreatment device further comprises a urine stabilization container 2 and a precipitation container 3 which are interconnected. The container described herein includes but is not limited to a tank, a pool or a tank.
[0073] The urine stabilization container 2 is provided with a drug adding port 17, so that a stabilizer can be added into the urine stabilization container 2 through the drug adding port 17.

The discharge port of the sediment is provided on the conical structure. The conical structure is provided to facilitate the collection of the sediment.
[0078] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the “low-carbon, zero-emission” non-sewered toilet system further includes a first water pump 20 , a filtering device and a second water pump 21 .
[0079] The feed port of the first water pump 20 is communicated with the discharge port of the pretreatment device, and the discharge port of the first water pump 20 is communicated with the feed port of the solar collector 4. The urine in the pretreatment device is introduced into the solar collector 4 through the first water pump 20 for heating.
[0080] The filter device is disposed between the discharge port of the first water pump 20 and the solar collector 4 to filter the urine discharged from the discharge port of the first water pump 20.

[0083] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in the direct contact membrane distiller 24, one side of the hydrophobic microporous membrane 25 is in direct contact with the heated urine, and the other side is in direct contact with the cooling liquid. The water vapor in the urine passes through the hydrophobic microporous membrane 25 and directly contacts with the cooling liquid to be condensed. At this time, the cooling liquid outlet of the direct contact membrane distiller 24 constitutes the above-mentioned distillate outlet 9.
[0084] Furthermore, the distillate in the second container 10 can be introduced into the cooling liquid inlet of the direct contact membrane distiller 24 by the third water pump 22 to condense the water vapor passing through the hydrophobic microporous membrane 25, thereby eliminating the need to use external water sources and achieving the effect of saving water resources.
[0085] Of course, the membrane distillation device 6 is not limited to the above-mentioned direct contact membrane distiller 24. For example, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, the membrane distillation device 6 includes an air gap membrane distiller 26.

The water vapor in the urine enters the cavity after passing through the hydrophobic microporous membrane 25, and condenses into water droplets in the cavity by contacting the cold wall 27, and is discharged from the distillate outlet 9 after converging.
[0087] Furthermore, the distillate in the second container 10 can be introduced into the cold side of the air gap membrane distiller 26 by the third water pump 22 to condense the water vapor passing through the hydrophobic microporous membrane 25, thereby eliminating the need to use external water sources and achieving the effect of saving water resources.

When the water vapor enters the cavity through the hydrophobic microporous membrane, the gas blown out by the gas source is brought into the first condenser to condense into liquid and discharged from the drain port.
[0093] Of course, the membrane distillation device 6 is not limited to the form of the above-mentioned air-sweeping membrane distiller 28. For example, in other embodiments provided by the present invention, the membrane distillation device 6 includes a vacuum membrane distiller 30 and a second condenser 31.
