[0002] Sludge and kitchen waste, among other high-solids-content organic solid wastes, have great potential for resource recovery, but their complex composition and high treatment difficulty make them suitable for processing. Dry anaerobic digestion, which requires no large-scale dilution, has a high loading capacity, and produces high gas density, is well-suited for treating such wastes.

[0029] This application uses functionalized carbon black, a composite enzyme, and a crosslinking agent as raw materials to perform a crosslinking reaction, thereby preparing a composite enzyme-carbon black composite material. The composite enzyme and crosslinking agent are as described above and will not be repeated here. The functionalized carbon black is prepared according to the following method: Carbon black is subjected to oxidation and ammoniation treatments in sequence to obtain functionalized carbon black.

[0030] Specifically, this application first oxidizes the carbon black, causing it to react with an oxidizing agent and introduce oxygen-containing functional groups onto its surface, thereby obtaining surface-modified functionalized carbon black. Subsequently, the functionalized carbon black undergoes ammoniation treatment, reacting with an ammoniation agent to further introduce nitrogen-containing functional groups onto the carbon black surface, resulting in functionalized carbon black. This application does not impose any special restrictions on the source of the carbon black; commercially available raw materials are acceptable. In some specific implementations, the particle size of the carbon black is preferably 30 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 40 μm to 60 μm. The oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups are as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0031] In this application, during the oxidation treatment of carbon black, oxygen-containing functional groups are introduced onto the surface of the carbon black using an oxidizing agent to obtain surface-modified functionalized carbon black. Specifically, the carbon black is first dispersed in deionized water and ultrasonically mixed to form a suspension; an oxidizing agent is then added to the suspension for oxidation treatment to obtain functionalized carbon black. In some specific implementations, the mass ratio of carbon black to deionized water is preferably 1:10~30, more preferably 1:15~25; the ultrasonic power is preferably 100 W~500 W, more preferably 200 W~400 W; and the ultrasonic time is preferably 30 min~120 min, more preferably 50 min~70 min.

[0032] This application does not impose any special restrictions on the source of the oxidizing agent; commercially available raw materials are acceptable.

[0034] In this application, during the ammoniation process, nitrogen-containing functional groups are further introduced onto the surface of carbon black using an ammoniation reagent to enhance the binding ability between the functionalized carbon black and the complex enzyme, thereby stably immobilizing the complex enzyme on the surface of the functionalized carbon black. Specifically, this application first disperses the functionalized carbon black in an organic solvent, then adds the ammoniation reagent to react and obtain the functionalized carbon black. In some specific implementations, the organic solvent is preferably one or more of toluene, acetone, ethanol, isopropanol, xylene, and tetrahydrofuran, more preferably toluene.

In some specific implementations, the weak acid buffer solution is preferably one or more of acetic acid buffer solution, citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution, potassium hydrogen phthalate-sodium hydroxide buffer solution, and lactic acid-sodium lactate buffer solution, more preferably acetic acid buffer solution. The pH value of the weak acid buffer solution is preferably 4-6, more preferably 4.5-5. In some specific implementations, the mass ratio of the composite enzyme to the functionalized carbon black is 0.02-0.10:1, preferably 0.05-0.10:1. The immobilization efficiency of the composite enzyme on the functionalized carbon black is 70%-80%. In some specific implementations, the mixing is carried out under stirring conditions. This application does not have special limitations on the stirring parameters, as long as the functionalized carbon black, weak acid buffer solution, and composite enzyme are thoroughly and uniformly mixed.

[0039] After obtaining the premixed solution, a crosslinking agent is added to the premixed solution to carry out a crosslinking reaction, thereby covalently immobilizing the composite enzyme on the surface of functionalized carbon black, resulting in a composite enzyme-carbon black composite material. This covalent immobilization method effectively reduces the risk of enzyme migration, loss, and inactivation in high-solids-content anaerobic digestion systems, prolongs its effective action period, and gives the composite material the potential for recycling and reuse, effectively reducing enzyme consumption. The crosslinking agent described in this application is preferably prepared as a crosslinking agent solution with water before use and then added to the premixed solution for reaction. In some specific implementations, the mass concentration of the crosslinking agent solution is preferably 0.1 wt% to 5 wt%, more preferably 0.1 wt% to 1 wt%. In some specific implementations, after the crosslinking agent is added to the premixed solution, it is first stirred and then allowed to stand for reaction. The stirring time is preferably 10 min to 60 min, more preferably 20 min to 40 min. The standing time is preferably 10 min to 60 min, more preferably 20 min to 40 min.

[0040] This application also provides a method for dry anaerobic digestion using the above-mentioned composite enzyme-carbon black composite material, which includes adding the composite enzyme-carbon black composite material to organic solid waste for anaerobic fermentation.

[0041] The method described in this application does not require extensive dilution or complex pretreatment of high-solids raw materials, and is preferably applicable to the treatment of organic solid wastes such as residual sludge, kitchen waste, and mixtures of sludge and organic solid waste, especially suitable for the resource recovery process of organic solid wastes such as residual sludge with high solids content. The total solids content of the organic solid waste is preferably 10% to 30%, more preferably 15% to 25%.

[0042] Specifically, this application mixes immobilized composite enzyme-carbon black composite material with excess sludge at a predetermined ratio, and then performs a dry anaerobic digestion reaction after the materials are uniformly mixed. The mass ratio of excess sludge to carbon black in the composite material is preferably 100:1~5, more preferably 100:2~4. In some specific implementations, the mixing method is preferably mechanical stirring, the stirring time is preferably 20 min~60 min, more preferably 20 min~40 min, and the stirring speed is preferably 30 rpm~100 rpm, more preferably 40 rpm~60 rpm. In some specific implementations, the reaction temperature of the dry anaerobic digestion reaction is 30℃~40℃, preferably 35℃~40℃, more preferably 38±0.5℃; the initial pH value of the dry anaerobic digestion reaction is preferably 6~8, more preferably 6.5~7.5.

[0043] By introducing a stable and immobilized composite enzyme into a high-solids-content anaerobic system, the conversion of macromolecular organic matter such as proteins and cellulose in sludge into usable intermediates can be continuously promoted, improving the removal efficiency of volatile solids (VS) and total solids (TS), and providing a stable substrate source for subsequent methanogenesis. During the reaction, the composite enzyme-carbon black composite material can maintain the continuity of the hydrolysis phase over a relatively long operating cycle, helping to mitigate the adverse effects of substrate supply fluctuations under high-solids conditions on the reaction system, and enabling the dry anaerobic digestion process to maintain stable operation over a wide range of process conditions.

[0064] (2) Organic matter removal effect: After the reaction, the removal rate of volatile solids (VS) was 73.5% and the removal rate of total solids (TS) was 45.2%.

[0065] (3) System operation: During the reaction, the peak concentration of volatile fatty acids was no higher than 550 mg / L, the concentration of ammonium nitrogen was maintained below 300 mg / L, no obvious inhibition was observed, and the system operated stably.

[0071] Experimental results show that the methane production of the system during the three cycles was 352 mL / g VS, 340 mL / g VS and 328 mL / g VS, respectively, and the performance degradation rate was less than 7%.

[0072] The results show that the immobilized composite enzyme-carbon black composite material prepared in this application has good recycling and reuse performance, and can maintain a stable anaerobic digestion enhancement effect during multiple uses.

[0073] Example 4

[0074] 1. A dry anaerobic digestion experiment was conducted using the same method as in Example 2, except that the immobilized composite enzyme-carbon black composite material was not added during the pretreatment and mixing of the excess sludge in step 1. Only the excess sludge (taken from the secondary sedimentation tank of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, TS=16%, VS=55%) was loaded into the anaerobic reactor.

The methane production rate slowed down significantly, and the peak methane production time was delayed by about 5 days. (2) Organic matter removal effect: The removal rate of volatile solids (VS) was 41.3% and the removal rate of total solids (TS) was 27.6%, both of which were much lower than the 73.5% and 45.2% of Example 2, indicating that the substrate degradation was incomplete; (3) System operation status: VFAs peak concentration reached 1920 mg / L, NH4 + The highest concentration of -N was 1380 mg / L, the pH fluctuation range of the system was ±0.8, and obvious acid inhibition and ammonia inhibition characteristics were observed.

Instead, 1 g of unammoniated OC was directly used for the subsequent preparation of the immobilized complex enzyme-carbon black composite material.

[0085] Dry anaerobic digestion experiments were conducted using the same method as in Example 2. The results showed that there was a significant difference in methane yield between carbon black treated with and without ammoniation, as shown in Table 2. Table 2. Effects of ammoniation treatment on the properties of immobilized composite enzyme-carbon black composite materials

[0086] Table 2 shows that the total enzyme loading in the ammoniation group (Example 1) was 60 mg / g TS, and the methane yield was 329.05 mL / g VS; while the total enzyme loading in the non-ammoniation group (Example 8) was only 14 mg / g TS, and the methane yield was 245.62 mL / g VS. The results indicate that under the conditions of this example, ammoniation is a necessary prerequisite for the covalent grafting of enzyme and carbon black. Without the ammoniation step, the enzyme can only be physically adsorbed onto the carbon black surface, failing to achieve stable fixation, and is easily lost, directly leading to a significant decrease in methane yield.

[0088] Effect of compound enzyme ratio on the properties of immobilized compound enzyme-carbon black composite material

[0089] The immobilized complex enzyme-carbon black composite material was prepared using the same method as in Example 1, except that the mass ratio of protease to cellulase was different in step 3 (1) of the complex enzyme preparation. Details are shown in Table 3. Table 3. Effect of composite enzyme ratio on the properties of immobilized composite enzyme-carbon black composite material

[0090] Dry anaerobic digestion experiments were conducted using the same method as in Example 2. Comparative results showed that the system with a protease to cellulase mass ratio of 1:1 produced the highest methane yield, 329.05 mL / g VS. Systems with protease to cellulase mass ratios of 1:0.5, 1:2, and 2:1 produced methane yields of 249.82 mL / g VS, 305.73 mL / g VS, and 288.59 mL / g VS, respectively. These results indicate that when the protease to cellulase mass ratio is 1:1, the immobilized composite enzyme-carbon black composite material exhibits superior methanogenesis in dry anaerobic digestion.
