Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of excess sludge, and particularly relates to a method and system for preparing liquid fuel and fuel additive from excess sludge mixed polysaccharides by using temperature-sensitive phase change acid catalysis. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization, the importance of wastewater treatment in environmental management is increasingly prominent. However, the continuous increase in the production of excess sludge not only intensifies the pressure on treatment facilities and land resources, but also may cause secondary environmental pollution. Therefore, how to efficiently treat excess sludge and realize its resource utilization has become a hot research issue.

[0003] The polysaccharides rich in excess sludge can theoretically be used as a raw material for the synthesis of clean liquid biofuels. However, due to the complex composition of mixed polysaccharides (such as glucose, fructose, rhamnose, cellulose, etc.), and the interweaving of protein, lipid, mineral and other components in the sludge, forming a stable composite structure, resulting in great challenges in its resource utilization. Currently, research on the conversion of sugars to clean liquid biofuels mainly focuses on the conversion of pure sugars, while the utilization of mixed polysaccharides in excess sludge has not been fully developed. Methyl levulinate (ML) as a fuel additive can be blended with petrochemical diesel and biodiesel. The carbonyl and ester groups in the ML molecule can isomerize to enol structures, participate in substitution, hydrolysis, addition, condensation, oxidation and reduction reactions, and derive a variety of high-value chemicals with industrial value, while effectively improving the cleanliness of combustion. In addition, during the conversion of excess sludge mixed polysaccharides to ML, furan aldehydes (such as HMF and MMF) can be simultaneously prepared, which also have important industrial value. The aldehyde group, hydroxymethyl group and furan functional group in the HMF molecule can be prepared into a variety of high-quality clean liquid biofuels and chemical products through oxidation, reduction, etherification and other reactions; while MMF becomes an ideal fuel additive due to its excellent blending performance.

[0004] However, existing researches mostly use homogeneous catalysts to prepare ML, HMF and MMF from complex polysaccharide raw materials, which has problems such as difficult catalyst separation, poor recycling performance, equipment corrosion, etc. In addition, most of the heterogeneous acid catalysts have low contact efficiency of raw materials and catalysts in "solid-solid" reactions, resulting in poor reaction effect. The conventional heterogeneous acid catalysis strategy for sludge solubilization relies on external conditions such as heating and pressurization to dissolve or step-by-step liquefy solid excess sludge, gradually realizing the contact of raw material molecules and "heterogeneous non-uniform" acid catalytic sites.
