Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic fertilizer preparation technology, specifically to a method and system for efficiently preparing organic fertilizer from garden waste based on precise environmental control and membrane separation. Background Technology
[0002] Garden and landscaping waste mainly originates from urban greening pruning, park and scenic area maintenance, and roadside vegetation management, including fallen leaves, lawn trimmings, and shrub debris. Its annual output exceeds 100 million tons and is showing a year-on-year increasing trend with the accelerating pace of urbanization. Currently, the traditional methods for disposing of this type of waste are open-air composting, incineration, or landfill. Composting has become the mainstream technology due to its ability to achieve resource recycling, but traditional processes have revealed significant limitations in practical applications.
[0003] Traditional composting technology suffers from problems such as a lengthy fermentation cycle (typically 60-90 days), large land area requirements, and low processing efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale processing. Furthermore, the composting process is prone to heavy metal accumulation and excessive soluble salt content, resulting in substandard quality of the finished organic fertilizer. In addition, the uncontrolled release of malodorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia during high-temperature fermentation can easily cause air pollution in the surrounding area and lead to environmental disputes.
[0004] Although some improvements have been made in existing technologies, such as optimizing the carbon-nitrogen ratio and adding a single microbial agent, they still cannot simultaneously solve the problems of fermentation efficiency, pollutant control and product quality improvement. There is an urgent need for an innovative technology system that balances high efficiency and environmental friendliness. Summary of the Invention

[0021] A method for efficiently preparing organic fertilizer from garden waste based on precise environmental control and membrane separation includes the following steps: S1: Garden waste with 75% branches and leaves and 50% moisture content is selected as raw material. It is crushed to a particle size of 25mm by a twin-shaft shear crusher, magnetic separation to remove iron with a magnetic field strength of 0.9T and a metal removal rate of 98.5%, air separation to remove plastic with a wind speed of 9m / s and a plastic separation rate of 92%, and vibrating screening with a screen with a 5mm aperture, resulting in a sand and gravel residue rate of 1.8%. S2: Add 0.4wt% of compound microbial agent and nitrogen source regulator based on the total weight of the raw materials to the crushed and sorted raw materials, adjust the moisture content to 58% by spraying, and let it stand for 24 hours after premixing. The compound microbial agent includes Trichoderma, Pseudomonas and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, wherein Trichoderma:Pseudomonas:nitrogenous bacteria = 6:3:1. S3: Use an intelligent trough fermenter to ferment the mixture obtained in step S2, and achieve precise environmental control, including the heating period, high temperature period and cooling period; The warming period lasted 3 days at a temperature of 45°C and an oxygen concentration of 16%. High-temperature period: Temperature 60℃, oxygen concentration 10%, 11 days. Cooling period: temperature 42℃, oxygen concentration 19%, 7 days, automatic turning once every 24 hours; S4: The fermentation product obtained in step S3 is subjected to solid-liquid separation using a hollow fiber membrane separator to obtain a solid phase with a water content ≤35% and a humic acid solution with a COD ≥20,000 mg / L. The pore size of the hollow fiber membrane is 0.1-0.2 μm, the operating pressure range is 0.4-0.6 MPa, the water content of the solid phase after separation is 32%, and the COD of the humic acid solution is 22000 mg / L. S5: Add a passivating agent to the solid phase and mix, then perform biological rinsing to remove heavy metals from the solid phase. The passivating agent is 6wt% attapulgite clay + 1.5wt% calcium dihydrogen phosphate (based on the weight of the solid phase). The biological rinsing uses 0.1mol / L citric acid solution with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:3 and rinsing for 30min. S6: Add trace elements, functional microorganisms and bentonite to the solid phase after step S5 and mix them together. Add 0.8wt% trace elements (Fe:Zn:B=2:1:1, in soluble salt form), 0.2wt% arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and 4wt% bentonite, dry at 40℃ to a moisture content of 18%, and package after sieving through a 4mm sieve.
[0022] In this embodiment, the fermentation cycle is 21 days, the Pb / Cd solidification rate is 96.2%, the salt removal rate is 88%, and the finished organic fertilizer meets the standard of NY 525-2021. Example
[0023] In step S2, the amount of compound microbial agent added is 0.5 wt%, and the nitrogen source regulator is chicken manure; In step S5, the passivating agent is 8wt% attapulgite clay + 2wt% calcium dihydrogen phosphate, the leaching solution concentration is 0.15mol / L, and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:4.
[0024] In this embodiment, the fermentation cycle was shortened to 20 days, the Pb / Cd solidification rate was 97.5%, the salt removal rate was 90%, but the COD of the humic acid solution was reduced to 19,500 mg / L (because the high concentration of acid solution slightly inhibits the dissolution of organic matter). Example
[0025] The amount of compound microbial agent added in step S2 is 0.3 wt%; In step S5, the passivating agent is 5wt% attapulgite clay + 1wt% calcium dihydrogen phosphate, the leaching solution concentration is 0.05mol / L, and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the fermentation cycle was 23 days, the Pb / Cd solidification rate was 95.0%, the salt removal rate was 86%, and the COD of the humic acid solution was 23000 mg / L (organic matter was more fully dissolved).
[0027] In Example 4, the ratio of the compound microbial agent in step S2 was Trichoderma:Pseudomonas:Diomycosis = 5:3:2 (total addition amount 0.4wt%).
[0028] In this embodiment, the fermentation cycle is 22 days, the lignin degradation rate is increased by 5% (due to an increase in the proportion of Pseudomonas bacteria), but the nitrogen fixation efficiency is slightly reduced by 2%, and the overall organic fertilizer nutrient content meets the standards. This invention verifies the feasibility of the method for preparing organic fertilizer from garden waste through four sets of embodiments, covering the adjustment range of key process parameters, with Pb / Cd solidification rate of 95.0%-97.5% and salt removal rate of 86%-90%, both meeting the organic fertilizer standard of NY 525-2021. Through precise environmental control, optimization of the heating, high-temperature, and cooling periods and microbial agents, the shortest fermentation cycle is 20 days, which is more than 30% shorter than traditional composting. The COD of the humic acid liquid reaches 19,500-23,000 mg / L, which can be reused as liquid fertilizer, realizing the resource utilization of both solid and liquid products. The intelligent trough fermenter has a three-stage environmental control: heating period 40-50℃ → high-temperature period 55-65℃ → cooling period 40-45℃. With the addition of compound microbial agents, the lignin degradation rate is increased by 5%, and the fermentation cycle is shortened to 20-23 days, solving the problem of long cycles in traditional composting.
[0029] Through multiple examples, it has been verified that within the range of parameters such as the amount of compound microbial agent added (0.3-0.5wt%) and the concentration of leaching solution (0.05-0.15mol / L), the method can stably achieve efficient fermentation and pollutant removal, proving its adaptability to different raw material characteristics (such as the proportion of branches and leaves of 70%-100%) and operating conditions.
[0030] Through the synergistic effect of passivating agents and bioleaching, the Pb / Cd solidification rate is ≥95%, avoiding the risk of secondary pollution from heavy metals and meeting the requirements for safe application in farmland. Hollow fiber membrane separation technology achieves efficient solid-liquid separation. The solid phase is used to prepare organic fertilizer, while the liquid phase (COD≥19500mg / L) can be used as humic acid liquid fertilizer, increasing the resource utilization rate to over 90%. The addition of nitrogen source regulators (soybean meal / chicken manure) and bentonite increases the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of the finished organic fertilizer, meeting the needs of agricultural fertilization.
[0031] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
