Detailed Implementation
[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of this application provides a method for making art charcoal pencils based on lake dredging sediment, including the following steps: S1. Sample the dredged sediment from the lake to obtain dredging mud; When using lake dredging sediment as raw material to obtain dredging mud, it is necessary to conduct raw material safety screening on the lake dredging sediment, that is, to test its heavy metal content to ensure that it meets the preset safety standards.
[0021] The preset safety standard of the present application is the risk screening value requirement specified in the Environmental Labeling Product Technical Requirement Pen (HJ1161-2021). Specifically, the content of the migratable elements in the bottom mud, including but not limited to antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and selenium, needs to be lower than the limit value specified in the standard to ensure the safety of human health and meet the national environmental protection requirements.
[0022] S2, mixing the dredged slurry with biochar powder to obtain a mixed slurry, the addition amount of biochar powder being 2% to 10% of the weight of dry matter in the dredged slurry; In the process of mixing the dredged slurry with biochar powder to obtain a mixed slurry, the water content of the dredged slurry needs to be greater than or equal to a preset water content threshold, and the preset water content threshold is preferably 75% to ensure that the dredged slurry is fully and uniformly mixed with the biochar powder. The biochar powder is preferably made from submerged plants (such as cattail and fox tail) salvaged from lakes or common agricultural waste (such as rice husk and straw) under anaerobic conditions through pyrolysis and carbonization, and the particle size of the biochar powder is between 150 mesh and 300 mesh. The preparation of biochar powder is a mature biomass pyrolysis process in the prior art. By introducing this environmentally friendly material, the present application not only effectively conditions the dewatering performance of the lake dredging bottom mud, but also integrates the two types of waste into resources, embodying the environmental protection concept of treating waste with waste.
[0023] In the mixing and conditioning process, the addition amount of biochar powder needs to be accurately controlled, and the addition ratio is 2% to 10% of the weight of dry matter (i.e. absolute dry bottom mud) in the dredged slurry.
[0024] S3, dewatering the mixed slurry to obtain a mud cake with a preset water content; After the mixed slurry is prepared, mechanical dewatering is performed to obtain a mud cake with a water content of 50% to 60%; Mechanical dewatering can be performed by conventional methods such as plate and frame filter pressing, centrifugal dewatering, or vacuum suction filtration.
[0025] S4, extruding the mud cake into a pen barrel-shaped blank and performing drying and solidification treatment until a constant weight is obtained to obtain an art charcoal pen.
[0026] The mud cake with a water content of 50% to 60% obtained in step S3 is put into a specially designed extrusion molding equipment, and the mud cake is continuously extruded into a pen barrel-shaped blank with uniform cross section and consistent density by applying mechanical pressure through a mold. After the blank is formed, it must be sterilized before drying and solidification to eliminate microorganisms that may be carried in the raw material and ensure the safety of the product.
[0027] The present application preferably uses ultraviolet irradiation for sterilization, and the ultraviolet irradiation is for 15 to 30 minutes. After sterilization, the pen-shaped preform is transferred to a drying device for drying and curing. Specifically: The green body is heated in a constant temperature oven at 105℃ to 120℃. This temperature range can efficiently remove residual moisture from the green body while avoiding excessive coking of organic matter or cracking of the green body due to excessive temperature.
[0028] Continue heating until the blank reaches a constant weight, that is, the change rate of mass between two consecutive weighings is less than 0.1%. At this point, the blank has been solidified, has a hard texture, and a uniform color, thus obtaining the final finished art charcoal pencil.
[0029] Example 2: Based on the technical concept of Embodiment 1, this application also provides a method for producing art charcoal pencils using lake dredging sediment: The specific steps are as follows: S1. Sample the dredged sediment from the lake to obtain dredging mud; Mud slurry from dredging a lake was passed through a coarse screen to remove obvious foreign matter and was used for later use. The initial moisture content was measured to be 80%. The biochar powder used was made from straw with a particle size of 200 mesh.
[0030] S2. Mix the dredging mud with biochar powder to obtain a mixed mud. The amount of biochar powder added is 2% to 10% of the dry matter weight in the dredging mud. Place the above-mentioned dredged mud in a mixing container, add biochar in proportion, the addition amount is 7.5%, calculated based on the dry matter weight of the bottom mud in the mud, the addition amount is 7.5%, stir at room temperature for 20 minutes to make the biochar powder and mud fully mixed evenly, to obtain mixed mud.
[0031] S3. Dehydrate the mixed mud to obtain mud cake with a preset moisture content; The mixed slurry was fed into a small plate and frame filter press for filtration. The filtration pressure was controlled at 0.6 MPa and the filtration time was 25 minutes. After filtration, a slurry cake was obtained, and the moisture content of the slurry cake was measured to be 48.5%.
[0032] S4. Extrude the clay cake into a pen-shaped blank and dry and solidify it until a constant weight is achieved to obtain an art charcoal pencil.
[0033] The filtered mud cake is filled into a cylindrical mold and pressure is applied to make it compact and form a charcoal pencil blank. The formed charcoal pencil blank is placed in an ultraviolet sterilization device and irradiated with ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 253.7 nm for 20 minutes to perform surface and shallow sterilization treatment on the charcoal pencil. The charcoal pencil blanks treated with ultraviolet light were transferred to an oven and dried at 110°C for 4 hours to obtain hardened and shaped charcoal pencils. Figure 2As shown; draw a line on the printer paper, and the resulting mark is as follows. Figure 3 As shown.
[0034] Example 3: Based on the same technical concept as Embodiment 1, this application also provides Embodiment 3, which differs from Embodiment 2 in that the proportion of added biochar powder is different; The specific steps are as follows: The dredged mud from a lake was measured to have an initial moisture content of 78.5%. Biochar powder was obtained by pyrolyzing rice straw at 500-550℃, and after crushing and sieving, powder with a particle size of 200 mesh was selected for use. Place the above mud in a mixing container, and accurately add biochar powder in three different mass ratios of 5%, 7.5% and 10% according to the dry matter weight of the bottom mud in the mud. Stir at a constant speed for 20 minutes at room temperature using a mechanical stirrer to ensure that the biochar powder and mud are mixed evenly and without obvious agglomerated particles. The uniformly mixed slurry was transferred to a plate and frame filter press and filtered under a constant pressure of 0.6 MPa for 25 minutes. After filtration, a dense slurry cake was obtained, and the average moisture content was 45.3% according to multi-point sampling. The filter cake is evenly filled into a cylindrical stainless steel mold with an inner diameter of 8mm and extruded to form a pen-shaped blank. The formed pen-shaped blank is placed in an ultraviolet sterilization chamber and irradiated from all directions with ultraviolet light with a main wavelength of 253.7 nm. The irradiation time is strictly controlled within 20 minutes to complete the inactivation of surface and shallow microorganisms.
[0035] The sterilized pen-shaped blanks are neatly arranged in a tray and placed in a forced-air drying oven. They are baked at 110°C for 4 hours until the moisture content of the pen core drops below 5%, finally obtaining a dried and hardened carbon pen core.
[0036] A comparative observation and feel test were conducted on charcoal pen refills prepared with three different proportions of biochar (5%, 7.5%, and 10%). The results showed that the proportion of biochar added had a significant impact on the hardness of the final pen refill: the pen refill with 10% biochar showed the highest hardness and density, felt solid, and was not easy to bend; the pen refill with 7.5% biochar had moderate hardness; while the pen refill with only 5% biochar had relatively low hardness and a certain degree of flexibility. Figure 4 The image shows scratch marks caused by biochar powder at different addition amounts: the overall trend indicates that under the stated process conditions, the greater the amount of biochar powder added, the higher the hardness of the resulting pen lead and the darker the ink color. This provides a clear process basis for obtaining charcoal pen products with different hardness characteristics and ink color by adjusting the amount of biochar powder added.
