[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0028] like Figure 1 The present invention is illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment discloses an ecological cycle system based on the resource utilization of fly ash, including a soil conditioner preparation device 1, a facility agriculture device 2, an anaerobic fermentation device 3, a separation device 4, and a purification device 5. The soil conditioner preparation device 1 can use fly ash to prepare soil conditioners, and the facility agriculture device 2 can use the soil conditioners to grow crops to increase crop productivity.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the anaerobic fermentation device 3 can ferment vegetable scraps or waste, straw and other crops produced by the facility agriculture device 2 to obtain biogas, biogas slurry and biogas residue. The separation device 4 can separate the biogas slurry and biogas residue produced by the anaerobic fermentation device 3. The biogas slurry produced can be used by the facility agriculture device 2, and the biogas residue produced can be used to make agricultural organic fertilizer and supplied to the facility agriculture device 2.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the purification unit 5 can purify and separate the biogas produced by the anaerobic fermentation unit 3 to obtain biomethane and carbon dioxide. The biomethane produced can be used in a natural gas cogeneration unit to generate electricity and supply the soil conditioner preparation unit 1. Simultaneously, the biomethane produced by the purification unit 5 can also be used to produce hydrogen, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, the soil conditioner preparation device 1 is prepared by alkaline hydrothermal reaction method. The fly ash particle size range of the selected soil conditioner is 10-100 micrometers (preferably 20-50 micrometers). The alkaline solution is prepared from sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1-5 mol / L (preferably 2 mol / L).

[0032] The alkali-to-ash ratio participating in the hydrothermal reaction is 0.1-1.5, the hydrothermal pressure is 0.1-1.2 MPa, and the residence time is 2-12 h. Preferably, the alkali-to-ash ratio is 0.4-1.2, the reaction pressure is 0.6 MPa, and the residence time is 6 h. The material used for the soil conditioner preparation device 1 is a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant material, preferably 316L stainless steel. Furthermore, the amount of soil conditioner produced in this embodiment used for saline-alkali land improvement is 0.2-1.5 t / mu.

[0033] The alkali-to-ash ratio participating in the hydrothermal reaction is 0.1-1.5, the hydrothermal pressure is 0.1-1.2 MPa, and the residence time is 2-12 h. Preferably, the alkali-to-ash ratio is 0.4-1.2, the reaction pressure is 0.6 MPa, and the residence time is 6 h. The material used for the soil conditioner preparation device 1 is a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant material, preferably 316L stainless steel. Furthermore, the amount of soil conditioner produced in this embodiment used for saline-alkali land improvement is 0.2-1.5 t / mu.

[0034] In this embodiment, the facility agriculture device 2 is a vegetable greenhouse, a cash crop greenhouse, or an aquaponics greenhouse, preferably an aquaponics greenhouse. The anaerobic fermentation device 3 is a CSTR reactor, and the purification device 5 is a PSA pressure swing adsorption device. Meanwhile, the soil conditioner preparation device 1, the anaerobic fermentation device 3, the separation device 4, and the purification device 5 are all existing devices, and the specific structure of each device will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ecological cycle system also includes a sustainable aviation fuel production unit 6, which can use the carbon dioxide produced by the purification unit 5 to produce sustainable aviation fuel, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ecological recycling system includes a power generation unit 61, a hydrogen production unit 62, and a synthesis unit 63. The power generation unit 61 provides electricity to the hydrogen production unit 62, which electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen. The synthesis unit 63 synthesizes hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce sustainable aviation fuel. In this embodiment, the synthesis unit 63 employs the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process or via the methanol-MtJ process.

[0037] In this embodiment, the hydrogen produced from biogas can be used in the synthesis unit 63 to produce sustainable aviation fuel. Meanwhile, the biogas produced by the purification unit 5 can be used in the natural gas cogeneration unit to generate electricity and supply it to the hydrogen production unit 62.

[0038] In this embodiment, the power generation unit 61 uses wind power, solar power, or a wind-solar hybrid power generation system, preferably a wind-solar hybrid system with an energy storage device. Furthermore, the power generation unit 61 complements the biogas cogeneration unit, meaning the entire system's energy supply is primarily provided by the power generation unit 61, with some energy supplied by the biogas cogeneration unit when energy is insufficient. The power generation unit 61, hydrogen production unit 62, and synthesis unit 63 all utilize existing equipment; their specific structures will not be elaborated upon here.

[0039] In this embodiment of the ecological cycle system, fly ash is initially sorted and then sent to soil conditioner preparation device 1. The prepared soil conditioner is sent to saline-alkali land for soil improvement. Facility agriculture device 2 uses the improved soil to grow crops.

[0040] Vegetable scraps and crop straw obtained from facility agriculture unit 2 are fed into anaerobic fermentation unit 3 for fermentation. The resulting biogas is purified and separated to obtain biomethane and high-concentration carbon dioxide. Part of the biomethane is sold or used for hydrogen production, while the remainder is fed into a biomethane cogeneration unit for power generation and heating to provide energy for soil conditioner preparation unit 1. The high-concentration carbon dioxide is primarily used for the synthesis of sustainable aviation fuel, and some can also be used in the production process of facility agriculture unit 2.

[0041] After the biogas slurry and biogas residue are separated, the biogas slurry is directly used in the production of facility agriculture device 2, while the biogas residue is made into organic fertilizer, part of which is sold externally and part of which is used in facility agriculture device 2. The electricity generated by power generation device 61 is partially supplied to hydrogen production device 62, and the hydrogen and carbon dioxide are used for the production of sustainable aviation fuel.

[0042] To more clearly illustrate this embodiment, the operation method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] After preliminary screening, fly ash is screened a second time to obtain fly ash with a particle size range of 20-50 micrometers. It is then fed into soil conditioner preparation device 1, and a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 2 mol / L is added at the same time. The alkali-ash ratio is adjusted to 0.5. After stirring evenly, the mixture is heated to 0.6 MPa and held for 6 hours. After depressurization, the mixture is separated and dried to obtain the soil conditioner.

[0044] Soil conditioner is applied to the saline-alkali land requiring improvement via machine spreading at a specific dosage, followed by rotary tillage for remediation. The remediation cycle is generally 6-12 months. The remediated saline-alkali land is used in facility agriculture unit 2, and the agricultural residues generated during facility agriculture are sent to anaerobic fermentation unit 3. The biogas residue produced by anaerobic fermentation is used to prepare organic fertilizer, which is supplied to facility agriculture unit 2 or sold externally. The biogas slurry is sent to facility agriculture unit 2 for irrigation.

[0045] After purification, part of the biogas is sent to a combined heat and power (CHP) unit for power generation and heating, while some biomethane is sold or used to produce hydrogen. The majority of the byproducts of biogas purification (high-concentration carbon dioxide) is used to synthesize sustainable aviation fuel, with a small portion sent to facility agriculture unit 2 for increased production. The electricity generated by power generation unit 61 is used for water electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which is then synthesized into sustainable aviation fuel using the Fischer-Tropsch process.

[0046] As can be seen from the above process, this ecosystem can achieve the rational integration and utilization of resources, build a relatively complete ecological cycle system and industrial chain, improve resource utilization efficiency, generate income, and enhance environmental protection.
