[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure provides an embodiment, including: garbage (including domestic waste and solid waste) transported by garbage trucks passes through a component sampling inspection, a weighbridge, and an unloading platform in sequence, and is then put into a garbage storage pool. The garbage in the garbage storage pool is grabbed by a grab bucket and sent to a coarse crusher for crushing. A two-stage multi-angle disc screen is used to screen the material obtained from the coarse crusher to separate the crushed material with a crushed size of 20mm-80mm.

The material in the temporary storage bin is then stored in the fuel bin after being treated by leachate treatment, odor treatment and drying equipment.
[0051] The waste and solid waste treatment system disclosed herein reduces environmental pollution from odors and leachate during waste treatment. Furthermore, through multi-stage screening using a multi-panel screen, magnetic separator, and air separator, not only can RDF fuel be produced from waste and solid waste, but metallic materials and landfill materials can also be screened out, thus improving the utilization rate of waste.
[0052] This disclosure provides a processing system for preparing RDF fuel from municipal solid waste and solid waste. The system utilizes waste crushing, screening, magnetic separation, air separation, and waste drying technologies to efficiently separate valuable metals. Lightweight plastics, paper, and low-moisture organic matter can be used as raw materials for incinerators or gasifiers, while heavy materials such as bricks, tiles, and ceramics are collected and transported out for use as landfill materials.
[0053] Another specific example provided in this disclosure is a method for preparing RDF fuel from municipal solid waste and solid waste, the method comprising the following four parts:
[0054] 1. Waste feeding;
[0055] 2. Waste sorting;
[0056] 3. Odor control;
[0057] 4. Permeate treatment.
[0058] (1) Waste feeding, as detailed below:
[0059] Random checks are conducted on the composition of waste to prevent industrial and medical waste from entering the treatment system. An inspection platform is set up beside the road in front of the weighbridge entrance, equipped with dedicated personnel and necessary tools and instruments. Vehicle inspection signs are displayed in front of the inspection platform; if inspectors deem a waste truck suspicious, they can direct it to a designated parking area within the inspection zone for inspection.
[0060] Waste (household waste and solid waste) that meets the requirements for entering the waste sorting plant is weighed by garbage trucks on a weighbridge. The trucks then unload the waste into a waste storage pit on the unloading platform. The waste undergoes initial drainage in the storage pit, and the leachate enters the leachate collection system. Odors and dust are directed to odor treatment equipment by an exhaust system. The waste storage pit is also equipped with a spray system to suppress odors and dust, preventing environmental pollution. The waste in the storage pit is then fed to the feed inlet of a primary crusher via a crane grab bucket, where it undergoes initial bag breaking and crushing.
[0061] (2) Waste sorting, as detailed below:
[0062] Waste coarsely crushed (250mm size) by a primary crusher is conveyed by a conveyor belt to a two-stage multi-angle disc screen (20mm and 80mm aperture sizes) for screening. The material on the 80mm screen is first separated for metals by a first magnetic separator, then separated into light and heavy materials by a positive pressure rotary air separator (first air separator). The light materials are further finely crushed (80mm size) by a fine crusher and sent to the fuel bin, where they can be used directly as fuel for the incinerator or feedstock for the gasifier. The heavy materials are conveyed to a manual sorting platform for sorting, separating out large pieces of bricks, ceramics, glass bottles, etc., which can be transported out of the plant for landfill. The remaining materials are crushed by the fine crusher corresponding to the second air separator and stored in a temporary storage bin. The materials in the temporary storage bin are then dried and sent to the fuel bin as fuel.
[0063] The material under the screen, which is less than 20mm, is mainly small pieces of kitchen waste and sand. After the metal is picked out by the third magnetic separator, it goes directly into the temporary storage bin. It is then dried by the drying equipment to reduce the moisture content and is transported to the fuel bin. It can also be used as raw material for the gasifier.
[0064] Material undersized (20mm-80mm) is separated into light and heavy materials by a second magnetic separator and a positive pressure rotary air separator (second air separator). The light materials are conveyed to the fuel bin (sharing the fine crusher's discharge belt with the light material from the 80mm oversize screen after fine crushing), and can be used directly as fuel for the incinerator or feedstock for the gasifier. The heavy materials, along with the remaining 80mm oversize material after manual sorting, are first finely crushed (30mm-60mm) using the fine crusher corresponding to the second air separator, then conveyed to a temporary storage bin. Subsequently, they are dehydrated and dried using drying equipment, and then conveyed to the fuel bin, where they can be used as fuel for the incinerator or feedstock for the gasifier. An additional magnetic separation step can be added before fine crushing to ensure the normal operation of the fine crusher and subsequent drying equipment.
[0065] (3) Odor treatment, as detailed below:
[0066] Exhaust devices are installed at locations where odors are generated during the waste sorting process to directly extract the odors and send them to odor treatment equipment.
[0067] Spraying devices are installed in the unloading and storage areas of the waste storage pool to first spray and reduce dust and deodorize the odors and dust generated during the waste unloading and storage process, and sealed air curtain devices are installed to prevent odors from escaping.
[0068] Exhaust devices are installed at the odor emission points in the sorting workshop, and gas collection hoods are set up at key odor emission points. The gas collection ports are transported to the odor treatment equipment by dust removal centrifugal fans for treatment, and the emissions meet the national emission standards.
[0069] (4) Permeate treatment
[0070] The waste storage pit is equipped with a leachate collection system. The bottom of the storage pit has a slope of no less than 2% in the width direction and at both ends, sloping towards the waste gate. The side walls of the storage pit are equipped with grates, allowing the leachate to flow through the grates into the leachate ditch, and then into the leachate tank. The leachate in the leachate tank is pumped out and sent to the on-site leachate treatment station for treatment. After treatment at the on-site treatment station, the leachate meets national water quality standards before being discharged or reused.
[0071] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of this disclosure, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and substance of this disclosure, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
