Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular to a method for producing a composite carbon source by utilizing wastewater biochemical excess sludge. Background Art

[0002] The preparation of carbon source from sludge is to use the residual sludge generated in the sewage treatment process, and convert it into a carbon source that can be used for biological denitrification and sewage treatment through a series of physical and chemical treatment methods. This process usually includes steps such as sludge concentration, dehydration and pyrolysis. First, the sludge passes through the concentration tank to remove excess water and increase the solid content; then, the dehydration equipment further reduces the water content so that the sludge reaches a state suitable for subsequent treatment. On this basis, the sludge can be converted into a solid carbon source through methods such as pyrolysis or carbonization. These methods can not only effectively remove water from the sludge, but also convert organic matter into high-value-added carbon materials. The prepared carbon source has good physical and chemical properties, can slowly release carbon elements, provide continuous nutritional support for microorganisms, and promote the degradation of organic matter in sewage. In addition, the carbon source prepared from sludge is also environmentally friendly, which can realize the resource utilization of sludge, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the overall efficiency of sewage treatment. Through this innovative treatment method, not only the economic benefits of sewage treatment are improved, but also a new solution for sustainable development is provided.

[0003] In the sewage treatment system, extracting the cleaner sludge for concentration, dehydration, and pyrolysis to prepare carbon sources is a very cheap and affordable way to provide carbon sources for many sewage treatment manufacturers. Selling the sludge extracted from the sewage treatment system after preparing the carbon source can also provide additional income for sewage treatment manufacturers. However, when the sludge is prepared as a carbon source for sale, the carbon source as a product has integrity requirements. However, when dehydrating, most manufacturers do not adjust the water content in the sludge cake to an appropriate range, but remove as much water as possible. The obtained cake is easily broken during demolding after dehydration or during transportation to the pyrolysis stage, affecting its integrity, which ultimately leads to poor integrity of the final carbon source.

[0004] Therefore, a method for producing a composite carbon source by utilizing wastewater biochemical excess sludge is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0053] The sludge in the mud chamber is continuously filled with water through the pressing plate 7, and all the filter plates 10 are pressurized at the optimal peak pressure to dehydrate the sludge in the mud chamber, and then demoulded to obtain a solidified mud cake;

[0054] The solidified mud cake is transported to a high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 6 for pyrolysis to obtain a composite carbon source.

[0055] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5 includes a plurality of compression plates 7 and filter plates 10 located between adjacent compression plates 7. A mud cavity for accommodating sludge is formed between the filter plates 10 and the compression plates 7. The air pressure in the filter plates 10 is adjustable. The compression plates 7 are provided with a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel connected to the mud cavity.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5 also includes an air pressure acquisition module 15, a water output acquisition module 14, a data processing module 17, an ultrasonic acquisition module 16, and a control module 18. The air pressure acquisition module 15 is used to collect the peak air pressure in each filter plate 10 and feed it back to the data processing module 17. The water output acquisition module 14 is used to collect the water output in the water outlet channel connected to the mud chambers on both sides of each filter plate 10 and feed it back to the data processing module 17. The ultrasonic acquisition module 16 is used to collect the ultrasonic propagation velocity of the sludge in the mud chamber, ultrasonic imaging of the internal structure of the mud cake in the mud chamber, and feed it back to the data processing module 17.

The water output acquisition module 14 includes a water flow sensor, the air pressure acquisition module 15 includes an air pressure sensor, the data processing module 17 includes a processor, and the control module 18 includes a controller.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the filter plate 10 includes a filter frame, a fastening plate 11 fixedly connected in the filter frame, and a diaphragm 12 fixedly connected in the filter frame and located on both sides of the fastening plate 11, the thickness of the fastening plate 11 is less than the thickness of the filter frame, an air cavity is formed between the diaphragm 12 and the fastening plate 11, an air hole connected to the air cavity is opened on the filter frame, an air pipe connected to the air hole is fixedly connected to the filter frame, the air pipe is connected to an air pump, and the air pump is coupled to the control module 18.

[0058] like Figure 3As shown, the clamping plate 7 includes a clamping frame and a support plate 8 fixedly connected to the inner circle of the clamping frame. The thickness of the support plate 8 is smaller than the thickness of the clamping frame. The water inlet channel is opened on the clamping frame and penetrates the clamping frame. The water outlet channel is also opened on the clamping frame and penetrates the clamping frame. The water inlet channel is located above the water outlet channel. A water pipe connected to the water inlet channel is fixedly connected to the clamping frame. The water pipe is connected to a water pump, and the water pump is coupled to the control module 18.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of dynamic protrusions 13 are integrally formed on the diaphragm 12 , and a plurality of static protrusions 9 corresponding to the positions of the dynamic protrusions 13 are fixedly connected to the support plate 8 .

[0060] Preferably, the data processing module 17 selects the optimal peak value of air pressure according to the peak value of air pressure in each filter plate 10, the water output in the water outlet channel connected to the mud chambers on both sides of each filter plate 10, the ultrasonic propagation speed, and the ultrasonic imaging of the internal structure of the mud cake and feeds it back to the control module 18, including the following steps:

[0061] Filtering Ultrasound Imaging ,in, For the image The pixel value of the point, is the standard deviation, For the filtered image, and histogram equalization ,in, is the pixel value of the original image, is the pixel value after enhancement;

[0062] The texture features are extracted through the gray level co-occurrence matrix. The texture features include energy Describes the uniformity of the image. The greater the energy, the tighter the structure and the higher the contrast. Describes the intensity of grayscale changes in the image. The greater the contrast, the more structural inhomogeneity and entropy in the mud cake. Reflects the amount of information in the image. The larger the entropy, the more complex the structure.

[0063] The shape features inside the mud cake are extracted through morphological operations. The morphological operations include corrosion, expansion, opening operation, closing operation, etc. The shape features include area and porosity. Area includes the size of the area in the mud cake. A larger area usually indicates a stronger structure. Porosity includes calculating the proportion of pores in the image. Mud cakes with fewer pores are usually stronger.

[0064] The mud cake images with known structural strength are used as training sets, and the structural strength of each sample is annotated. The structural strength includes high strength, medium strength, and low strength.

[0065] Based on the extracted texture features and morphological features, the model is trained using machine learning methods;

[0066] Import the ultrasound imaging into the trained model and output the corresponding structural strength;

[0067] The mud cavity with the highest output structural strength grade and its corresponding peak air pressure at the filter plate 10 are taken as the optimal peak air pressure.

[0068] The present invention can recycle the sludge after being treated by the primary sedimentation tank 1, the biological tank 2, the secondary sedimentation tank 3 and the sludge thickening tank 4, and add a thickener to the concentrated sludge to increase its viscosity, so that the concentrated sludge can discard the vast majority of water therein, and can make the solid materials therein agglomerate as much as possible. When the concentrated sludge is actually sent to the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5, the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5 will preferentially make the filter plate 10 and the pressing plate 7 fit each other, and the hydraulic cylinder in the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5 applies a force of 3000 pounds per square inch to both, ensuring that the filter plate 10 and the pressing plate 7 fit closely, so as to form a mud cavity for accommodating the sludge, and after the thickened sludge enters the mud cavity, it can ensure that most of the mud cavity is composed of sludge, thereby alleviating the uneven distribution of solid materials in each mud cavity due to the excessive dilution of the sludge;

[0069] Then, the water pump is controlled by the control module 18 to make the water pump pump water into the water inlet channel, so that the sludge in the mud chamber can be cleaned, and while taking away the sewage, it can also ensure that the mud chamber is in a state of sufficient water. After that, the water pump is controlled to stop working and each air pump is controlled to work instead. Each air pump adjusts the air pressure in the filter plate 10, and sets the lower limit of the first air pressure interval and the upper limit of the first air pressure interval as the air pressure peak values ​​in the first filter plate 10 and the last filter plate 10 in the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5, respectively. The air pressure peak values ​​of the remaining filter plates 10 are set in equal difference between the lower limit of the first air pressure interval and the upper limit of the first air pressure interval in the order of the filter plates 10. In this way, when each filter is pressurized and dehydrated in sequence, the air pressure peak values ​​corresponding to each filter plate 10 are also different, thereby ensuring that in this method, when the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5 is performing the action of pressing filtration, it can complete the preparation for the subsequent air pressure peak judgment in the first round;

[0070] Then, the sludge in the mud chamber is continuously flushed with water to ensure that the mud cake that has not been pressed to a compact state can fully absorb water to increase its water content. Then, when a number of filter plates 10 maintain the original peak pressure and pressurize and dehydrate in sequence, according to the water output of the mud chambers on both sides of each filter plate 10, it can be judged which filter plates 10 have pressed the sludge into a compact mud cake in the first round of pressurization. By making such a judgment, the upper limit of the subsequent peak pressure can be determined;

[0071] After that, ultrasonic testing is performed in the mud chamber that has completed pressurized dehydration. Generally speaking, a slow ultrasonic propagation speed indicates a high water content, while a fast ultrasonic propagation speed indicates a low water content. In addition, the lower limit of the peak pressure can be limited by combining the propagation speed threshold.

[0072] At this time, there are not many air pressure peaks corresponding to the filters that can meet the requirements of the first two rounds of screening. By identifying the structural strength through ultrasonic imaging, the mud cavity with the highest structural strength level and its corresponding air pressure peak at the filter plate 10 are output as the optimal air pressure peak, and the most suitable air pressure peak can be directly confirmed. At this time, the mud cake after pressurized dehydration by the filter plate 10 corresponding to the air pressure peak not only has a low water content, but also can ensure that it has the best structural strength, so that when the mud cake is demolded from the high-pressure diaphragm filter press 5, it will not be broken or other problems that affect its integrity;

[0073] Afterwards, the complete mud cake is transferred to the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 6 to complete the pyrolysis process, thereby obtaining a composite carbon source with a high integrity.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
