Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural waste treatment and utilization, and particularly relates to a method and system for treating biogas slurry by electrochemical membrane ammonia stripping. Background Art

[0002] Anaerobic digestion is a technology that converts various organic wastes into renewable energy and is widely used in research and practical applications, which has led to the generation of a large amount of biogas slurry with a high ammonia nitrogen concentration. If directly discharged or used, it will cause serious non-point source pollution and water eutrophication. At the same time, ammonia is also the most critical element in fertilizers. Therefore, removing and recovering nitrogen sources from biogas slurry is of great significance for circular economy and social sustainable development. Currently, nitrogen sources can be recovered from wastewater through various technologies, such as ammonia stripping, struvite precipitation, etc. Chinese Patent Application CN119219191A discloses a method for phosphorus enrichment and struvite recovery from anaerobic fermentation liquid of sludge by a combined biological membrane method, in which Mg 2+ , NH 4+ , PO4 3- ions react in a molar ratio of 1:1:1 to form magnesium ammonium phosphate (Mg(NH4)PO4·6H2O), but this method requires the addition of a large amount of magnesium salts (MgCl2·6H2O), and a large amount of scale is likely to accumulate on the equipment, significantly increasing the treatment and maintenance costs.

[0003] Compared with the struvite precipitation technology, the research on the combination of ammonia stripping and acid-base absorption technology is more extensive. By introducing air into the biogas slurry with adjusted pH, ammonia nitrogen is transferred from the liquid phase to the gas phase, and then the ammonia gas is absorbed by acid solution. The nitrogen source in the biogas slurry is finally recovered as ammonium salts (such as (NH4)2SO4) and used as fertilizers, which can effectively balance the biogas slurry treatment cost.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application CN118684389A designs a new type of high-efficiency, low-carbon and intelligent high-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater treatment system. To make the ammonia nitrogen concentration of the effluent meet the standard, a large amount of alkali needs to be added through an alkali addition system to adjust the pH of the wastewater ≥ 12. The addition of alkali agents greatly increases the biogas slurry treatment cost. At the same time, the heating consumption of the biogas slurry is also a key factor that significantly increases the treatment cost. Chinese Patent Application CN117361597A discloses a method for ammonia recovery and biogas purification from biogas slurry. This method requires controlling the temperature of the ammonia stripping tower at 50 - 70 °C, greatly increasing the biogas slurry treatment cost. Therefore, seeking cheap pH adjustment and heating means to replace traditional methods is the key to cost reduction, high efficiency and sustainable development of the biogas slurry ammonia stripping technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art that a large amount of alkali needs to be added to adjust the pH value for ammonia nitrogen treatment, or heating is required during the ammonia stripping process, resulting in high cost of biogas slurry treatment and low ammonia removal efficiency.

Furthermore, the OH - in the supernatant of biogas slurry accumulates in the cathode chamber to create an alkaline environment required for the generation of ammonia gas, so that the OH - generated in the cathode chamber reacts with the ammonia nitrogen in the supernatant of biogas slurry to obtain ammonia gas.

[0026] Preferably, in the electrolytic cell, the electrolytic water reaction is carried out under the condition of applying an electric current. Among them, electrolytic water in the anode chamber generates H+ , electrolyzed water in the cathode chamber generates OH - , the cation exchange membrane allows cations to transfer between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber, while the OH - generated in the cathode chamber cannot pass through the cation exchange membrane and thus accumulates in the cathode chamber to create the alkaline environment required for ammonia production, enabling the OH - generated in the cathode chamber to react with the ammonia nitrogen in the supernatant of the biogas slurry to obtain ammonia.

[0027] Preferably, the electrolytic cell further includes a cathode, an anode, and a DC power supply.

[0030] (1) Using a flocculant to flocculate the biogas slurry can effectively remove the suspended solids in the biogas slurry, reduce the blockage of the cation exchange membrane in the electrolytic cell during subsequent treatment, and reduce the damage to the membrane; at the same time, it can also enable the cation NH4 + in the anode chamber to smoothly pass through the cation exchange membrane and transfer to the cathode chamber to be converted into NH3, improving the ammonia nitrogen removal rate;

Due to the generation of OH - , the pH value of the liquid in the cathode significantly increases. At the same time, to ensure the electrical neutrality of the system, the cations in the anode chamber will also transfer to the cathode chamber through the cation exchange membrane. Almost all the NH4 + in the system accumulates in the cathode chamber and then reacts with the OH - in the cathode chamber to be converted into NH3 NH3 is stripped out under the agitation of aeration.

Detailed Embodiments

[0036] The following details the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining and illustrating the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] In the ranges disclosed herein, the endpoints and any values are not limited to the exact ranges or values, and these ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, between the endpoint values of each range, between the endpoint values of each range and individual point values, and between individual point values, they can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, and these numerical ranges should be regarded as specifically disclosed herein.

[0038] As described above, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for treating biogas slurry by electrochemical membrane ammonia stripping, and the method includes the following steps:

[0039] (1) Adding a flocculant to the biogas slurry for flocculation treatment;

[0040] (2) Inputting the supernatant of the flocculated biogas slurry into the cathode chamber 101 of the electrolytic cell 100. The cathode chamber 101 and the anode chamber 102 of the electrolytic cell 100 are separated by a cation exchange membrane 103. The electrolytic cell 100 performs an electrolytic water reaction. Under the action of the cation exchange membrane 103, OH in the supernatant of the biogas slurry- Accumulate in the cathode chamber 101 to create an alkaline environment required for ammonia production. While electrolyzing water, aerate and strip the supernatant of biogas slurry in the cathode chamber 101 to obtain ammonia.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the electrolytic cell 100 of the present invention has a similar structure to a conventional electrolytic cell. The difference is that the cathode chamber 101 and the anode chamber 102 of the electrolytic cell 100 of the present invention are separated by a cation exchange membrane 103. Further, the cathode 105 and the anode 104 are respectively arranged in the cathode chamber 101 and the anode chamber 102, and are respectively connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrode of a DC power supply 106 by wires.

[0042] In the method of the present invention, in step (1), the biogas slurry is flocculated by a flocculant to effectively remove suspended solids in the biogas slurry. The content of suspended solids in the supernatant of the flocculated biogas slurry is greatly reduced, reducing the blockage of the cation exchange membrane 103 in the electrolytic cell 100 in the later treatment and reducing the damage to the membrane. The content of ammonia nitrogen in the supernatant of the flocculated biogas slurry hardly changes; in step (2), by arranging a cation exchange membrane 103 between the cathode chamber 101 and the anode chamber 102 of the electrolytic cell 100, the cation exchange membrane 103 only allows cations to pass through. When a DC current is applied to the electrolytic cell 100, the electrolytic cell 100 undergoes an electrolytic water reaction (2H2O → O2↑ + 4H + + 4e - (anode), 2H2O + 2e - → H2↑ + 2OH - (cathode)). Due to the generation of OH - , the pH value of the liquid in the cathode 106 increases significantly. At the same time, to ensure the electrical neutrality of the system, cations in the anode chamber 102 (such as H + , NH4 + ) will also transfer to the cathode chamber 101 through the cation exchange membrane 103. The supernatant of the biogas slurry containing a large amount of ammonia nitrogen also exists in the cathode chamber 101. Eventually, almost all NH4 + in the system accumulates in the cathode chamber 101, and then reacts with OH - in the cathode chamber 101 to be converted into NH3 is stripped out under the disturbance of aeration. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, the OH - generated by electrolyzing water in the cathode chamber 101 replaces the addition of traditional alkaline agents, and high-efficiency ammonia nitrogen removal can be achieved without adding alkaline agents, with high economic benefits. Compared with using the traditional alkaline agent NaOH to adjust the pH value of the biogas slurry, the cost of adding alkaline agents can be saved by 25 yuan / t. In addition, in the present invention, by introducing air from the bottom of the cathode chamber for aeration and stripping while electrolyzing water, high ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency can be achieved without heating.

[0043] In some embodiments, the content of ammonia nitrogen and suspended solids in the biogas slurry is relatively high; specifically, in step (1), the content of ammonia nitrogen in the biogas slurry is 1400 - 1500 mg / L, and the content of suspended solids is 0.5 - 1 g / L. In the present invention, the suspended solids can be of common types in the art, such as undecomposed organic matters (such as lignin), inorganic particles (such as sediment), and colloidal substances (such as proteins), etc.

[0044] In the present invention, the flocculant can be a conventional choice in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the flocculant in step (1) is polyacrylamide (PAM). Polyacrylamide not only has a high removal effect on suspended solids, but also the obtained flocs can be used for planting, which can provide nutrients for the soil while realizing soil improvement.

[0045] In some preferred embodiments, in step (1), relative to 1 L of biogas slurry, the dosage of the flocculant is 3 - 5 g, that is to say, to treat 1 L of biogas slurry, 3 - 5 g of the flocculant needs to be added, that is, the addition concentration of the flocculant is 3 - 5 g / L. When the addition concentration of the polyacrylamide flocculant is too low (<3 g / L), the electro-neutralization effect is insufficient, the electrostatic repulsion between particles is still large, it is difficult for particles to approach and aggregate, and at the same time, the degree of interweaving between molecular chains is insufficient, the formed flocs are relatively loose, and are easily broken under the disturbance of water flow, resulting in the re-dispersion of particles, and the flocculation effect will decline; while when the concentration of the polyacrylamide flocculant is too high (>5 g / L), the viscosity of the solution will increase significantly, and the high-viscosity solution will hinder the free movement and collision of particles, reducing the contact opportunity between particles, which is not conducive to the effective aggregation and flocculation of particles, and will also cause the formed flocs to be too compact, reducing the voids between particles, resulting in a decrease in the strength and stability of the flocs. Under the disturbance of water flow, the too-compact flocs are easily broken, and the particles are re-dispersed into the water, thus affecting the flocculation effect. Therefore, controlling the dosage of the flocculant within the aforementioned range can further improve the flocculation effect and further improve the removal effect of suspended solids.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, in step (1), the time for the flocculation treatment is 10 - 30 min. The flocculation reaction requires a certain amount of time to complete. If the stirring time is too short (<10 min), the reaction between the flocculant and the particles will be insufficient, resulting in incomplete interaction between the particles and the inability to form stable large particles. If the stirring time is too long (>30 min), a large shear force will be continuously generated, causing the already formed larger flocs to be excessively sheared and broken. The flocs will be degraded or structurally damaged under the action of mechanical shear force, and finally the flocculation efficiency will be poor. Therefore, controlling the time for the flocculation treatment within the aforementioned range can further improve the flocculation effect and further improve the removal effect of suspended solids.

[0047] In a more preferred embodiment, the flocculation treatment is carried out under stirring conditions, and the stirring rate is 800 - 1200 rpm. When the stirring rate is too low (<800 rpm), the contact between the flocculant and the suspended particles and colloidal particles in the water will be insufficient. This is because the collision chance between the particles decreases, and the flocculant cannot be effectively adsorbed on the particle surface, thereby reducing the adsorption bridging effect between the particles and making it difficult for the particles to aggregate together to form larger flocs, affecting the flocculation effect. When the stirring speed is too high (>1200 rpm), a large shear force will be generated, causing the particles in the water body to be over-dispersed, reducing the effective collision chance between the particles. If the particles cannot effectively collide, it is difficult to form larger flocs through adsorption and aggregation. At the same time, it will also lead to insufficient contact time between the flocculant and the particles, making the flocculant unable to fully exert its adsorption and bridging effects, and the adsorption of the flocculant molecules on the particle surface is not firm, thereby affecting the flocculation efficiency. Therefore, controlling the stirring rate within the aforementioned range can further improve the flocculation effect and further improve the removal effect of suspended solids.

[0048] In the present invention, after the biogas slurry undergoes flocculation treatment, the concentration of suspended solids in the supernatant of the biogas slurry is reduced to 0.15 - 0.4 g / L, and the flocculation treatment has no effect on the concentration of ammonia nitrogen.

[0049] In some embodiments, in step (2), the cation exchange membrane 103 is an FKS - PET - 130 membrane. Due to electrolysis, the pH values of the liquids at the anode and cathode of the electrolytic cell are relatively extreme. The FKS - PET - 130 membrane can withstand such extreme conditions and is therefore suitable for the electrolysis process of the present invention.

[0050] In step (2) of the present invention, the electrolyte in the anode chamber 102 is not particularly limited as long as it ensures that the aforementioned electrolysis of water reaction can occur in the electrolytic cell 100, that is, 2H2O → O2↑ + 4H + +4e - (anode), 2H2O + 2e- →H2↑ + 2OH - (Cathode). In some embodiments, in step (2), the electrolyte solution in the anode chamber 102 is a disodium hydrogen phosphate solution with a concentration of 0.2 - 0.4 M. Here, M is the concentration unit mol / L. When the concentration of the disodium hydrogen phosphate solution is lower than this range, the current intensity cannot reach the required current intensity; when the concentration of the disodium hydrogen phosphate solution is higher than this range, the reagent cost is too high and the economic efficiency is low.

[0051] In the method of the present invention, the constant current intensity is provided by the DC power supply 106. In some preferred embodiments, the constant current intensity of the electrolytic water reaction can be 30 - 40 mA / cm 2 . When the current intensity is too low, the cathode chamber 101 cannot generate enough OH - to react with NH4 + , and there are fewer bubbles generated on the electrode surface. The generation of bubbles can play a role in stirring and mass transfer. At the same time, due to the too low current intensity, NH4 in the cathode chamber 101 + may diffuse reversely into the anode chamber 102, ultimately resulting in a lower ammonia nitrogen removal rate; the ammonia nitrogen removal rate increases with the increase of the current intensity. When the current intensity increases to a certain level, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate will no longer increase significantly. And when the current intensity is too high, it will also accelerate the corrosion of the electrode material, shorten the service life of the electrode, and thus reduce the economic efficiency of the system treatment. Therefore, controlling the constant current intensity within the aforementioned range can not only further improve the ammonia nitrogen removal rate but also increase the service life of the electrode.

[0052] In the method of the present invention, the function of aeration stripping the supernatant of the biogas slurry in the cathode chamber 101 during the electrolytic water reaction is to strip out the NH3 generated in the cathode chamber 101 under the disturbance of aeration, promote the generation of NH3, and improve the ammonia nitrogen removal rate.

[0053] In some preferred embodiments, in step (2), the process of aeration stripping of the supernatant of biogas slurry in the cathode chamber 101 includes: introducing air into the bottom of the cathode chamber 101, and the air flow rate is 0.5 - 1.1 L / min. When the air flow rate is too low, the contact area between the gas and the supernatant of biogas slurry will decrease, reducing the mass transfer driving force of ammonia stripping, and the stirring effect on the supernatant of biogas slurry is weak, resulting in uneven distribution of ammonia nitrogen in the supernatant of biogas slurry, making it difficult to fully contact and exchange with the gas phase, thus reducing the ammonia nitrogen removal rate; while when the air flow rate is too high, the residence time of the gas in the supernatant of biogas slurry will decrease, resulting in insufficient contact time between ammonia nitrogen and the gas, unable to fully carry out the gas-liquid mass transfer process, and may also cause too violent turbulence at the gas-liquid mass transfer interface, increasing the mass transfer resistance, reducing the transfer efficiency of ammonia nitrogen from the liquid phase to the gas phase, thus reducing the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency. Therefore, controlling the air flow rate within the aforementioned range can further improve the ammonia nitrogen removal rate.

[0054] In the present invention, there are no particular limitations on the anode 104 and the cathode 105 of the electrolytic cell 100, as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. In one embodiment, in step (2), the anode 104 of the electrolytic cell 100 is a ruthenium-iridium-titanium plate, that is, ruthenium-iridium is coated on the titanium plate, and the cathode 105 of the electrolytic cell 100 is a titanium plate. The ruthenium-iridium-titanium plate and the titanium plate have good corrosion resistance and are suitable for the electrolysis process of the present invention.

[0055] In the present invention, the process of the electrolytic cell 100 for electrolyzing water includes: when an electric current is applied to the electrolytic cell 100, the electrolytic cell 100 undergoes an electrolytic water reaction. Among them, the reaction occurring in the anode chamber 102 is: 2H2O → O2↑ + 4H + + 4e - , and the reaction occurring in the cathode chamber 101 is: 2H2O + 2e - → H2↑ + 2OH - , the cation exchange membrane 103 allows cations to transfer between the anode chamber 102 and the cathode chamber 101, while preventing the OH - generated in the cathode chamber 101 from entering the anode chamber 102 through the cation exchange membrane 103. Furthermore, the OH - in the supernatant of biogas slurry accumulates in the cathode chamber 101 to create an alkaline environment required for the generation of ammonia gas, enabling the OH - generated in the cathode chamber 101 to react with the ammonia nitrogen in the supernatant of biogas slurry to obtain ammonia gas.

[0056] In one embodiment, the method further includes: absorbing the ammonia gas stripped from the supernatant of biogas slurry in the cathode chamber 101 with an acidic solution to generate ammonium sulfate liquid for use as a fertilizer, thereby improving the nitrogen source recovery rate.

[0057] In some preferred embodiments, the acidic solution may be a concentrated sulfuric acid solution of 20-40% by volume. When the concentration of the sulfuric acid solution is too low, the solution cannot provide enough SO4 2- to absorb NH3, resulting in low absorption efficiency; while when the sulfuric acid concentration is too high, there will be excess SO4 2- , making the reagent cost too high and the economic efficiency low.

[0058] When the method of the present invention is used to treat biogas slurry, the removal rate of suspended solids in the biogas slurry can reach more than 50%. Specifically, the removal rate of suspended solids in the biogas slurry can reach 50%-70%; the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen can reach 70%-93%; and the recovery rate of nitrogen source > 99%.

[0059] The second aspect of the present invention provides a system for electrochemically membrane ammonia stripping treatment of biogas slurry, as Figure 2 shown. This system includes:

[0060] A flocculation tank 200, into which the biogas slurry from the biogas slurry tank 300 enters for flocculation treatment;

[0061] An electrolytic cell 100, the cathode chamber 101 and the anode chamber 102 of the electrolytic cell 100 are separated by a cation exchange membrane 103.

Under the action of the cation exchange membrane 103, OH in the supernatant of the biogas slurry - accumulates in the cathode chamber 101 to create an alkaline environment required for the generation of ammonia gas;

[0062] An air pump 400, which is used to aerate and strip the supernatant of the biogas slurry in the cathode chamber 101 during the electrolytic water reaction to obtain ammonia gas.

[0063] In one embodiment, a first peristaltic pump 600 is provided on the connecting pipeline between the biogas slurry tank 300 and the flocculation tank 200, and the biogas slurry in the biogas slurry tank 300 is transported to the flocculation tank 200 by the first peristaltic pump 600 for flocculation treatment.

[0064] The system of the present invention further includes a stirrer 700 provided in the biogas slurry tank 300, which is used to stir and flocculate the biogas slurry during the flocculation treatment. Among them, the stirring paddle of the stirrer 700 is located at the center of the biogas slurry in the flocculation tank 200.

[0065] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the electrolytic cell 100 of the present invention includes a cathode chamber 101 and an anode chamber 102, and the cathode chamber 101 and the anode chamber 102 are separated by a cation exchange membrane 103. More specifically, the electrolytic cell 100 further includes a cathode 105, an anode 104, and a DC power supply 106. The cathode 105 is disposed in the cathode chamber 101, the anode 104 is disposed in the anode chamber 102, the cathode 105 is connected to the negative electrode of the DC power supply 106 by a wire, and the anode 104 is connected to the positive electrode of the DC power supply 106 by a wire.

[0066] In one embodiment, a second peristaltic pump 800 is provided on the communication pipeline between the flocculation tank 200 and the cathode chamber 101. The supernatant of the biogas slurry in the flocculation tank 200 is transported to the cathode chamber 101 by the second peristaltic pump 800.
