Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic solid waste resource utilization technology, and in particular to a method for the low-temperature drying-pyrolysis upgrading of organic sludge. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous expansion of industrial wastewater treatment scale in my country, sludge production is showing a rapid growth trend. Sludge mainly comes from municipal sewage treatment plants and industrial wastewater treatment systems in printing and dyeing, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemicals. It is essentially a complex organic solid waste with high water content, high organic matter, and high ash content. Under normal circumstances, municipal dewatered sludge still has a water content as high as 75-85 wt% and an organic matter content of 35-65 wt%. It also contains pathogens, parasite eggs, heavy metals, and recalcitrant organic pollutants. If not properly disposed of, it can easily cause secondary pollution of soil, water bodies, and the atmosphere.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream methods for sludge disposal include sanitary landfill, land application, composting, incineration, and utilization in building materials. Among them:
[0004] (1) Sanitary landfills occupy a large area, and the organic matter in the sludge is prone to produce greenhouse gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide under anaerobic conditions. At the same time, leachate is prone to causing groundwater pollution.
[0005] (2) Although composting and land application can achieve partial resource utilization, the heavy metals, antibiotics and pathogenic microorganisms in sludge will limit its agricultural application.
[0006] (3) Although traditional high-temperature incineration has a high volume reduction efficiency, it requires a large amount of auxiliary fuel due to the high water content of sludge, resulting in high operating costs. In addition, NOx, SO2 and dioxin pollutants are easily generated during high-temperature combustion.
[0007] In recent years, pyrolysis technology has received widespread attention due to its advantages of volume reduction, stabilization, and resource recovery. Sludge pyrolysis is a resource recovery technology that converts the organic components in sludge into pyrolysis gas, pyrolysis oil, and pyrolysis char under anoxic or anaerobic conditions through thermal cracking. Compared with direct incineration, the pyrolysis process has a lower oxygen content, which can inhibit dioxin formation to some extent, and can recover combustible gas and char materials, improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0008] Existing technologies include some research on the coupling of sludge pyrolysis and drying. For example:
[0009] The patent document "CN101708938A 'High and Low Temperature Coupled Pyrolysis Method for Sludge or Organic Waste'" discloses a high and low temperature coupled pyrolysis process that realizes the resource utilization of sludge through low temperature pyrolysis, medium temperature carbonization and high temperature gasification. It can obtain products such as biochar and combustible gas, but its process flow is long, the system is complex, and the requirements for graded control of pyrolysis temperature are high.
[0010] The patent document "CN102211844A Deep Dewatering, Drying and Low Temperature Pyrolysis Treatment Sludge Device" proposes a synergistic system for deep dewatering, low temperature drying and pyrolysis of sludge. It realizes the utilization of thermal energy by combining a sludge dryer and a low temperature pyrolysis furnace. However, this technology is more inclined to equipment system integration and has less to do with improving the calorific value of sludge, controlling tar and optimizing the quality of pyrolysis char.
[0011] Furthermore, some existing sludge pyrolysis technologies employ high-temperature direct pyrolysis or gasification to increase gas yield. However, high-temperature conditions easily lead to equipment coking, the generation of large amounts of pyrolysis tar, and corrosion of the pyrolysis system. Simultaneously, high-temperature operation significantly increases system energy consumption, hindering large-scale industrial application. Some studies indicate that high-nitrogen organic sludge is also prone to coking and secondary condensation reactions during high-temperature heat treatment, affecting the quality of pyrolysis oil and system stability.
[0012] On the other hand, existing sludge pyrolysis processes generally suffer from the following problems:
[0013] 1. High sludge moisture content and high energy consumption in front-end drying: Traditional hot air drying usually requires a high-temperature heat source of over 120°C, which has low thermal efficiency and high operating costs;
[0014] 2. Low calorific value of pyrolysis char: Due to the high ash content and low fixed carbon ratio of sludge, the obtained pyrolysis char is difficult to use directly as a high-quality alternative fuel;
[0015] 3. High tar production: During pyrolysis, large organic molecules are prone to condensation reactions, leading to tar deposition and blockage of pipes and heat exchange equipment;
[0016] 4. Insufficient heat energy recovery and utilization rate: Some pyrolysis gas is not effectively recycled, resulting in low overall energy utilization efficiency of the system;
[0017] 5. Limited effect of heavy metal stabilization: some heavy metals in pyrolytic char still exist in active form, which limits their subsequent resource utilization.
[0018] 6. Insufficient process synergy: Existing drying and pyrolysis processes mostly operate independently, lacking cascade utilization of heat and system coupling optimization.
[0019] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated low-temperature drying-pyrolysis treatment method for organic sludge that can achieve low-energy drying, low-temperature stable pyrolysis, calorific value enhancement, and heat energy recycling, thereby realizing the synergistic improvement of sludge reduction, harmlessness, and resource utilization, and meeting the current development needs of green, low-carbon, and resource recycling. Summary of the Invention
[0020] Based on the problems raised in the background technology mentioned above, this invention proposes a method for the treatment of organic sludge by low-temperature drying-pyrolysis and upgrading.
[0021] The technical solution is as follows:
[0022] A method for treating organic sludge by low-temperature drying and pyrolysis upgrading includes the following steps:
[0023] (1) Sludge pretreatment steps:
[0024] The organic sludge was mechanically dewatered to obtain dewatered sludge with a moisture content of 58-72 wt%. 100 parts of the dewatered sludge, 8-18 parts of the wood biomass conditioner, 4-10 parts of the alkaline mineral additive, and 1-4 parts of the iron catalyst were mixed in a twin-shaft paddle mixer for 15-40 minutes to obtain homogeneous pyrolysis precursor material.
[0025] (2) Low-temperature drying step:
[0026] The pyrolysis precursor material is fed into a closed-loop low-temperature drying device, and 2-5 parts of drying and dehumidification synergist are added. Low-temperature circulating drying is carried out under slight negative pressure conditions. The drying temperature is controlled at 75-105℃, the drying time is 45-120min, the drying wind speed is 1.0-2.5m / s, and the system negative pressure is -80 to -300Pa, so that the moisture content of the material is reduced to 12-28wt%, and low-temperature dried material is obtained.
[0027] (3) Low-temperature pyrolysis step:
[0028] The low-temperature dried material is continuously fed into an oxygen-deficient pyrolysis reactor and pyrolysis reaction is carried out under nitrogen or circulating pyrolysis gas protection conditions. The oxygen content is controlled to be ≤3 vol%, the pyrolysis temperature is 380-520℃, the heating rate is 5-15℃ / min, and the pyrolysis residence time is 30-80min, to obtain pyrolysis gas, pyrolysis oil and pyrolysis char.
[0029] (4) Gas-liquid separation step:

[0031] (5) Upgrading steps for pyrolytic carbon:
[0032] The pyrolytic char is activated under a steam or carbon dioxide atmosphere at an activation temperature of 650–850℃ for 20–60 min, with an activation gas flow rate of 0.8–2.5 L / min·kg char, to obtain upgraded pyrolytic char. The upgraded pyrolytic char has a higher heating value of 15–24 MJ / kg and a specific surface area of 180–650 m². 2 / g.
[0033] Optionally, the organic sludge is one or more of municipal sludge, food processing sludge, papermaking sludge, printing and dyeing sludge, and pharmaceutical sludge; the organic matter content in the organic sludge is 35-65 wt%, and the ash content is 15-45 wt%.
[0034] Optionally, the wood biomass conditioner is one or more of sawdust, bamboo powder, straw powder, rice husk powder, coconut shell powder or fruit shell powder; the particle size of the wood biomass conditioner is 0.2-2.5 mm and the moisture content is ≤12 wt%.
[0035] Optionally, the alkaline mineral additive is one or more of calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, dolomite powder, kaolin, and bentonite.
[0036] Optionally, the iron-based catalyst is one or more of Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeCl3, red mud, or iron-carbon composite catalyst.
[0037] Optionally, the preparation method of the drying and dehumidifying synergist is as follows:
[0038] By weight, 23-45 parts of acetic acid distillation residue (main component: acetic acid, containing carboxyl functional groups, produced by a company in Zhejiang) and 115-225 parts of ethylamine industrial wastewater (mass concentration 3%-7%, main component: ethylamine, containing primary amine functional groups, produced by a company in Zhejiang) are mixed evenly. 0.09-0.45 parts of zinc chloride are added as a low-temperature amidation catalyst, and the mixture is stirred and reacted at a constant temperature of 35-55℃ for 85-125 minutes. After the reaction, the wastewater discharged from dialysis purification is collected and purified by distillation. The material is then concentrated under negative pressure and air-dried at low temperature to obtain a drying and dehumidifying synergist.
[0039] Optionally, the low-temperature drying step employs a heat pump circulating drying system, with a heat pump condensing temperature of 45–65°C, an evaporating temperature of 5–20°C, and a circulating air volume of 8000–20000 m³ / h. 3 / h; the dried exhaust gas is condensed and dehumidified and then recycled, while the exhaust gas condensate is returned to the wastewater treatment system.

[0041] Optionally, the gas-liquid separation step employs a two-stage condensation method; the first-stage condensation temperature is 60–90°C, used to separate heavy tar; the second-stage condensation temperature is 10–35°C, used to separate light pyrolysis oil.
[0042] Optionally, the total integral of H2, CH4, and CO in the non-condensable combustible gas is 45–78 vol%, and the lower heating value is 10–18 MJ / Nm³. 3 The non-condensable combustible gas provides 35-80% of the total heat load of the low-temperature drying step after re-ignition.
[0043] Reaction mechanism:
[0044] This invention addresses the industry challenges of high water content, easily degradable organic matter, dense pore aggregation, and poor quality of pyrolysis products in organic sludge. It constructs an integrated closed-loop treatment system encompassing composite conditioning and modification, enhanced low-temperature drying, anoxic controlled pyrolysis, gas-liquid resource separation, and pyrolysis carbon activation and upgrading. This system achieves high-value resource utilization of organic sludge through volume reduction, harmlessness, energy conversion, and recycling. After mechanical dewatering pretreatment, the organic sludge undergoes compound modification with lignocellulosic biomass conditioners, alkaline mineral additives, and iron-based catalysts. This effectively breaks down the dense, agglomerated structure of the sludge, eliminates the hydrophilic stability of the sludge colloids, reconstructs the pore channels, replaces internal bound water, and pre-regulates the acid-base environment and pyrolysis catalytic activity sites, laying a material foundation for subsequent efficient drying and upgrading pyrolysis.
[0045] The introduction of a self-prepared drying and dehumidification synergist during the low-temperature drying stage is the core key to improving sludge drying efficiency and solving the problem of drying highly viscous sludge. The carboxyl functional groups carried by the acetic acid distillation residue in the synergist possess strong hydrophilicity, demulsification, and interface modification capabilities. These groups can replace bound water on the surface of sludge particles and adsorbed water in pores, disrupting the hydrogen bonds between water molecules and sludge colloids, weakening the solid-water binding force, and significantly reducing the difficulty of water removal. The primary amine functional groups contained in ethylamine industrial wastewater can undergo interfacial cross-linking modification with sludge organic matter, optimizing the material's pore structure, clearing water vapor diffusion channels, and avoiding material caking and pore blockage during the drying process. Under the low-temperature catalytic action of zinc chloride, the carboxyl groups and primary amine groups undergo a mild amidation reaction to generate active components with interface activation, hydrophobic and breathable properties, further improving the material's water vapor conduction efficiency and achieving low-temperature, low-energy, and high-efficiency deep drying.
[0046] The homogeneous material, after enhanced drying, enters an oxygen-deficient low-temperature pyrolysis system. Under the synergistic effect of a low-oxygen inert atmosphere and an iron-based catalyst, the organic matter undergoes directional pyrolysis, controlling the breakage of large organic molecular chains and selectively releasing pyrolysis oil and combustible non-condensable gases. Simultaneously, it enriches fixed carbon components, avoiding calorific value loss due to excessive pyrolysis. The mixed gas produced by pyrolysis undergoes staged condensation, dust removal, and oil-water separation to achieve precise separation of gaseous, liquid, and solid products. The purified combustible gas is then recycled back to the drying and pyrolysis processes in a closed loop, constructing a self-circulating thermal energy system. Finally, through steam and carbon dioxide coupled activation modification, the pore structure of the pyrolysis carbon is reshaped, surface active sites are enriched, and the specific surface area and calorific value of the pyrolysis carbon are significantly increased, achieving high-value utilization of all components of the organic sludge.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0048] 1. Significantly reduce system energy consumption: This invention adopts a low-temperature closed-loop drying process, which can reduce heat loss compared with traditional high-temperature steam drying, and achieve partial energy self-circulation through pyrolysis gas re-ignition.
[0049] 2. Improve the quality of pyrolysis char: Biomass conditioner improves the pore structure of sludge and the fixed carbon content, thereby increasing the calorific value of pyrolysis char and making it usable as an alternative fuel.
[0050] 3. Reduce tar formation: Iron-based catalysts promote the cracking of large organic molecules, reduce tar deposition, and increase the proportion of combustible gas.
[0051] 4. Reduce pollutant emissions: Low-temperature anaerobic pyrolysis can effectively inhibit the formation of dioxins, while mineral additives have a fixing effect on HCl and SO2.
[0052] 5. Improve the stability of heavy metals: Heavy metals in pyrolytic char are transformed from an exchangeable state to a stable residue state, reducing the risk of leaching. Detailed Implementation

[0173] Based on the characteristics of process operation and the performance law of products, it is clear that the drying and dehumidification synergist independently developed in this invention plays a decisive role in improving the quality and efficiency of the entire process. The multi-component functional groups have clear division of labor and synergistic complementarity, which thoroughly optimizes the drying effect of organic sludge and the quality of pyrolysis products. Compared with traditional treatment processes without synergistic modification, it has significant technical advantages.
[0174] Among them, the carboxyl functional groups in the acetic acid distillation residue are the core hydrophilic demulsifying components, which can precisely disrupt the stable binding system between sludge colloids and water molecules, weaken the adsorption force of solid and water, and fundamentally solve the problems of difficult water removal and high drying limit of organic sludge, effectively improving the depth of low-temperature drying and dewatering efficiency. The primary amine functional groups carried by the ethylamine component mainly play a structural modification role, which can modify the interface of sludge organic matter, improve the permeability of material pores, prevent the drawbacks of surface crusting and internal water vapor retention during low-temperature drying, and ensure the continuous and stable progress of the drying process. With the help of the zinc chloride catalytic system, the cross-linking reaction between carboxyl and primary amine groups can be promoted to generate stable interfacial active modified substances, further enhancing the dehumidification efficiency and material modification effect, and maximizing the advantages of low-temperature drying.
[0175] Based on the modification of synergists, combined with a composite conditioning system and catalytic pyrolysis process, the sludge pyrolysis reaction environment can be significantly optimized, improving the organic matter conversion efficiency and product calorific value, thus achieving deep sludge reduction and high-value utilization. The overall process relies on the synergistic effect of multiple components of the synergist to overcome the technical bottlenecks of low efficiency, high energy consumption, and poor product quality in traditional low-temperature drying of organic sludge. The process exhibits good stability and outstanding quality improvement effects, possessing extremely high value for industrial promotion and application.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
