Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of distiller's grains treatment technology, and in particular to a method for treating organic solid waste distiller's grains using supercritical CO2. Background Technology
[0002] Distillers' grains are a major source of organic solid waste generated by the brewing industry, and are typically characterized by high yield, high moisture content, and high organic matter content. Currently, the main methods for treating distillers' grains are landfill, incineration, and composting. However, these treatment technologies have many drawbacks: landfilling consumes a large amount of land resources, and the soluble organic matter in the grains can seep into the soil and groundwater, causing soil and groundwater pollution; incineration of distillers' grains has a low calorific value, requires the addition of auxiliary fuel during the incineration process, resulting in high energy consumption, and also produces harmful gases; composting has a long treatment cycle, requires a large area, and is prone to producing foul odor pollution.
[0003] Chinese patent with publication number CN111280308A discloses a method for harmless treatment of rice wine lees, including the following steps: (1) pretreatment of rice wine lees; (2) grinding with a colloid mill; (3) spray drying; (4) packaging. This patent utilizes colloid mill technology combined with spray drying technology, so that after the fermented mash is steamed, it can be discharged for continuous grinding, drying and powdering.
[0004] Chinese patent CN113603520A discloses a method for treating fermented distiller's grains, a fermented distiller's grains organic fertilizer and its application. The method involves soaking the distiller's grains in water to remove easily soluble acids and alcohols, resulting in a residue containing nutrients such as cellulose and protein. To address the issue of high moisture content after soaking, a desiccant is mixed into the residue to adjust its moisture content to between 50-60%. After this adjustment, the residue is inoculated with a composting agent and stacked for fermentation.
[0005] The CO2 released from the CO2 recovery and recycling separation unit after the effective components are extracted carries small-molecule organic impurities from the distiller's grains (including lower esters, alcohols, aldehydes, small polyphenol molecules, trace lipids, etc.). These impurities enter the recovery unit with the CO2, and after cooling and pressurization, are directly recycled back to the extraction vessel, which will cause three major technical problems: Deterioration of extraction efficiency: Impurities compete with supercritical CO2 in the extraction vessel to bind with the effective components of the distiller's grains, reducing the extraction rate of aroma and flavor substances, lipids, and polyphenols. Long-term circulation will cause the extraction rate to gradually decrease by 5%-15%. Reduced purity of extract: Impurities in recycled CO2 will mix into the new distillers' grains extract, resulting in a complex composition of the extract, increasing the cost of subsequent separation and purification, and affecting its application in the food and pharmaceutical fields. Decreased equipment and process stability: Small molecule impurities can be adsorbed and accumulated in CO2 delivery pipelines, extraction vessel valves, and heat exchange surfaces of separation devices, causing pipeline blockage, reduced heat exchange efficiency, increased equipment maintenance frequency, and affecting continuous industrial production.
[0006] Existing technologies have shortcomings: they fail to simultaneously extract multiple recyclable components from distiller's grains, resulting in low resource utilization; the extraction rate is low, and CO2 is not recycled, leading to high processing costs and making industrial-scale promotion difficult. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for treating organic solid waste, distiller's grains, using supercritical CO2. The operation steps are as follows: S1: Take the lees of baijiu (Chinese liquor), remove impurities such as stones and mud, dry them, crush them, and neutralize the pH to 7 to obtain pretreated lees; S2: The pretreated lees are fed into a supercritical extraction vessel, sealed, and CO2 is introduced for extraction to obtain a supercritical CO2 fluid loaded with effective components and the residue after extraction; the supercritical CO2 fluid loaded with effective components is sent into a separation device to separate the effective components and collect the lees extract. S3: The residue after extraction of S2 is sent to the activation vessel, an activator is added, and activation is carried out. After activation, it is cooled and crushed to obtain modified distiller's grains residue. S4: The CO2 after the effective components are precipitated in the S2 separation device is sent to the recovery device. After cooling and pressurization, liquid CO2 is obtained and recycled back to the supercritical extraction vessel of S2 for reuse. S5: The CO2 containing impurities discharged from the separation device in S2 is pretreated by a pretreatment unit to remove water and impurities before entering the adsorption tower. Organic impurities are selectively adsorbed and removed by a modified TS-1 titanium-silicon molecular sieve. The purified CO2 flows out from the top of the adsorption tower into a buffer tank. After the modified TS-1 titanium-silicon molecular sieve in the adsorption tower reaches adsorption saturation, the supply of CO2 containing impurities to the adsorption tower is stopped. The adsorption tower is first depressurized in the forward direction to send the high-purity CO2 remaining in the tower into the buffer tank. Then, the adsorption tower is vacuum depressurized to desorb the organic impurities adsorbed on the molecular sieve. Subsequently, the adsorption tower is hot-purged with low-temperature hot purging gas to remove residual impurities in the molecular sieve channels. After regeneration, the adsorption tower is equalized and pressurized to restore it to the adsorption pressure and continues the CO2 purification operation. S6: The purified CO2 in the buffer tank of S5 is sent to the recovery device. After cooling and pressurization, liquid CO2 is obtained. The liquid CO2 is then recycled back to the supercritical extraction vessel of S2 for reuse.

H2: Mix the molecular sieve treated with H1 with 3-7 parts of 4-propenylthiourea and 1500-2000 parts of ethanol, then add 2-5 parts of sodium hydroxide, and heat the mixture under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction is complete, filter, wash and dry to obtain the modified TS-1 titanium silicon molecular sieve.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the reaction temperature of H2 is 65-75℃ and the reaction time is 50-100 minutes.
[0017] Reaction Mechanism: Supercritical CO2, with its unique solubility and mass transfer properties, can quickly penetrate into the interior of the distiller's grains matrix and react with the aroma and flavor substances, lipids, polyphenols and other effective components in the distiller's grains, achieving efficient dissolution and extraction of the target components. Modified TS-1 titanium-silicon molecular sieve constructs specific adsorption sites through the addition reaction of amino and propylene groups, which can accurately identify and adsorb small molecule organic impurities entrained in CO2, achieving efficient purification of CO2 and ensuring the stability of the circulating extraction system. At the same time, the residue after extraction undergoes pore structure modification under the action of activator, improving the resource utilization value of the residue.
