Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of sludge treatment, and in particular to a method for preparing organic nutrient soil from sludge. Background Art
[0002] In the field of materials science and environmental engineering, sludge treatment and resource utilization has always been an important research topic. Sludge, as a by-product of sewage treatment, contains a large amount of organic matter, inorganic matter and microorganisms. Its rational disposal is not only related to environmental protection, but also involves the effective recycling and reuse of resources. In recent years, converting sludge into organic nutrient soil has become a treatment method with broad prospects. This can not only reduce the pollution of sludge to the environment, but also provide high-quality soil conditioners or fertilizers for agricultural production.
[0003] However, traditional sludge-based organic nutrient soil preparation technology often faces many challenges, such as poor stability of organic matter in sludge, easy loss of nutrients, and poor physical and chemical properties, which limit its effectiveness in practical applications. Summary of the invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a method for preparing organic nutrient soil from sludge.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a method for preparing organic nutrient soil from sewage sludge, comprising the following steps: S1: Dehydration and drying Mechanical dehydration is used to reduce the moisture content of sludge to 60%-75%, and then natural drying or thermal drying is used to further reduce the moisture content to only 30%-45%, which is convenient for subsequent fermentation; S2: Harmless treatment Kill pathogens and insect eggs through high-temperature composting or steam treatment at 60℃-80℃, and add passivators to adsorb or fix heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.). If heavy metals exceed the standard, pre-treat through chemical leaching or bioleaching technology; S3: Adjust the carbon-nitrogen ratio Add high-carbon auxiliary materials to municipal sludge to adjust the ratio to 30:1-35:1 to promote microbial activity. Mix the sludge and high-carbon auxiliary materials and pile them into the fermentation tank. Turn the pile regularly (once every 2 days) and ventilate and supply oxygen. S4: Optimization of nutrient soil formula Sludge is usually acidic, so add wood ash to adjust it to 6.5-7.5. It is necessary to add humic acid, bone meal, seaweed extract, etc. to improve fertility, and mix vermiculite, perlite or coconut bran to enhance air permeability; S5: Screening and granulation The undecomposed impurities are removed by a drum screening machine, and the particles are crushed and granulated to obtain 2-4 mm particles; S6: Add 7-18 parts of pentaerythritol, 5-12 parts of castor oil, and 15-34 parts of APTES into a stirrer, and stir and mix for 30-45 minutes; then add 13-27 parts of isocyanate monomer and 0.03-0.2 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL), stir mechanically for 50-65 minutes, and bake at 75-125°C for 2.5-3.5 hours to obtain a coating; S7: putting the particles prepared in S4 and the coating obtained in S6 into a heater and stirring them to prepare organic nutrient soil.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the rotation speed of the mechanical dehydration in S1 is 2500-3500 r / min.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the passivating agent in S2 is any one of phosphate, biochar and zeolite.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the formula of the chemical elution in the chemical elution in S2 is EDTA (0.1 mol / L) or citric acid (5%) solution, and it needs to be rinsed with clean water to neutral pH after elution. The biological leaching bacteria in the biological leaching technology in S2 is Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, which can transfer heavy metals from the solid phase to the liquid phase, and the treatment cycle is 12-18 days.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the high-carbon auxiliary material in S3 is any one or more of straw, sawdust, and rice husk.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides more cross-linking sites by using pentaerythritol as a chain extender, and at the same time, its hydroxyl density is high, and it reacts with siloxy groups to form a denser Si-OC network structure. Pentaerythritol is used as a chain extender to react with siloxy groups to form a dense Si-OC network structure, which not only significantly improves the mechanical properties, thermal stability and hydrophobicity of the coating layer, but also optimizes the functionality and environmental friendliness of the material through high cross-linking density and biocompatibility. At the same time, APTES is added, and its molecule contains both amino and siloxy groups. The amino group can react with the carboxyl group in the polyester chain, and the siloxy group forms a three-dimensional siloxy network through hydrolysis and condensation, which improves thermal stability and hydrophobicity. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil provides long-chain fatty acids as a flexible segment for toughening; the unsaturated double bond can participate in cross-linking and enhance weather resistance; the isocyanate monomer reacts with the chain extender and the hydroxyl group in the vegetable oil to form a polyurethane main chain; the high reactivity ensures the cross-linking density, and dibutyltin dilaurate can accelerate the reaction of -NCO and -OH to reduce the activation energy.

[0012] Embodiment 1 The present invention provides a method for preparing organic nutrient soil from sludge, comprising the following steps: S1: Dehydration and drying Mechanical dehydration is used to reduce the moisture content of sludge to 60%-75%, and then natural drying or thermal drying is used to further reduce the moisture content to only 30%-45%, which is convenient for subsequent fermentation; S2: Harmless treatment Kill pathogens and insect eggs through high-temperature composting or steam treatment at 60℃-80℃, and add passivators to adsorb or fix heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.). If heavy metals exceed the standard, pre-treat through chemical leaching or bioleaching technology; S3: Adjust the carbon-nitrogen ratio Add high-carbon auxiliary materials to municipal sludge to adjust the ratio to 30:1-35:1 to promote microbial activity. Mix the sludge and high-carbon auxiliary materials and pile them into the fermentation tank. Turn the pile regularly (once every 2 days) and ventilate and supply oxygen. S4: Optimization of nutrient soil formula Sludge is usually acidic, so add wood ash to adjust it to 6.5-7.5. It is necessary to add humic acid, bone meal, seaweed extract, etc. to improve fertility, and mix vermiculite, perlite or coconut bran to enhance air permeability; S5: Screening and granulation The undecomposed impurities are removed by a drum screening machine, and the particles are crushed and granulated to obtain 2-4 mm particles; S6: Add 7-18 parts of pentaerythritol, 5-12 parts of castor oil, and 15-34 parts of APTES into a stirrer, and stir and mix for 30-45 minutes; then add 13-27 parts of isocyanate monomer and 0.03-0.2 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL), stir mechanically for 50-65 minutes, and bake at 75-125°C for 2.5-3.5 hours to obtain a coating; S7: putting the particles prepared in S4 and the coating obtained in S6 into a heater and stirring them to prepare organic nutrient soil.

The ricinoleic acid in castor oil provides long-chain fatty acids as a flexible segment for toughening; the unsaturated double bonds can participate in cross-linking and enhance weather resistance. The isocyanate monomer reacts with the chain extender and the hydroxyl group in the vegetable oil to form a polyurethane main chain; the high reactivity ensures the cross-linking density, and dibutyltin dilaurate can accelerate the reaction between -NCO and -OH and reduce the activation energy.
