Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Aufbereitung von Abfällen mit organischen Anteilen, mit mindestens einer drehbaren Zerkleinerungstrommel mit Schwerstoffausschleusung, wobei die Zerkleinerungstrommel in ihrem Inneren mindestens einen frei beweglich angeordneten Mahlkörper aufweist und der oder die Mahlkörper mittels einer Trennvorrichtung in der Zerkleinerungstrommel zurückgehalten wird bzw. werden und die Zerkleinerungstrommel einen Rückhaltering aufweist, der unzerkleinerte Abfälle bis zum Erreichen einer entsprechenden, vorbestimmten Teilchengröße in der Zerkleinerungstrommel zurückhält und im Bereich einer Drehachse zwei sich gegenüberliegende Öffnungen aufweist.The present invention relates to a device and a Process for the treatment of waste with organic Proportions, with at least one rotating crushing drum with heavy material discharge, the crushing drum at least one freely movable inside Has grinding media and the grinding media or media by means of a Separating device retained in the comminution drum will and will and the shredding drum one Retaining ring, the uncrushed waste up to Reaching a corresponding, predetermined particle size in the shredding drum holds back and in the area of an axis of rotation has two opposing openings.

Zur Aufbereitung von Abfällen mit organischen Anteilen, z.B. Biomüll, Restmüll oder Hausmüll, vor der biologischen Behandlung sind Naß- und Trockenverfahren bekannt. Ziel der Aufbereitung ist es dabei, diejenigen Bestandteile abzutrennen, welche den biologischen Behandlungsprozeß stören, die Anlagentechnik beschädigen oder die Qualität der entstehenden Produkte beeinträchtigen. Insbesondere betrifft dies Metalle, Glas, Steine, Sand, aber auch Kunststoffe, Leder oder ähnliche Stoffe.For the treatment of waste with organic components, e.g. Organic waste, residual waste or household waste, before biological Treatment wet and dry processes are known. goal of Processing is to separate those components which interfere with the biological treatment process, the System technology damage or the quality of the resulting Affect products. This particularly affects metals, Glass, stones, sand, but also plastics, leather or the like Substances.

Das am häufigsten eingesetzte Störstoffabtrennungsverfahren ist die Handauslese dieser Stoffe aus den aufzubereitenden Abfällen. Dieses Verfahren verursacht jedoch erhebliche Personalkosten und ist vergleichsweise wenig wirkungsvoll. Darüberhinaus ist dieses Verfahren hygienisch bedenklich.The most commonly used method for removing contaminants is the manual selection of these substances from the ones to be processed Waste. However, this procedure causes significant Personnel costs and is comparatively ineffective. In addition, this process is hygienically questionable.

Des weiteren sind Verfahren zur automatischen Störstoffabtrennung bekannt, bei denen die sogenannte Schwimm-Sink-Trennung angewandt wird. Dabei werden Stofflöser, welche in der Papierindustrie verwendet werden, für die Abfallaufbereitung angepaßt. Die bei diesem Trennverfahren eingesetzten Apparate werden diskontinuierlich betrieben. Nachteilig an diesem Stand der Technik ist, daß derartige bekannte Anlagen einen sehr hohen Energieverbrauch aufweisen. Die Durchsatzleistung der zudem sehr teuren Apparate ist aus statischen Gründen und aufgrund der diskontinuierlichen Betriebsweise auf etwa 80 Tonnen pro Arbeitstag begrenzt.There are also procedures for the automatic separation of contaminants known in which the so-called swim-sink separation is applied. In doing so, cloth solvers are used in the paper industry used for waste treatment customized. The apparatus used in this separation process are operated discontinuously. A disadvantage of this stand the technology is that such known systems a very have high energy consumption. The throughput of the also very expensive equipment is for static reasons and due to the discontinuous mode of operation to about 80 Limited tons per working day.

Die EP-A-0 302 551 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Behandlung und Aufbereitung von Müll. Dabei wird mit Hilfe einer Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung der Müll zerkleinert, wobei die fein gemahlenen Bestandteile getrennt von den gröberen, nicht oder schlecht zu zerkleinernden Bestandteilen getrennt werden. Die fein gemahlene Fraktion enthält organische und anorganische Bestandteile. Auch die in der US-A-5 322 792 beschriebene Aufbereitungsvorrichtung für Müll erlaubt keine einfache und schnelle, sowie vollständige Trennung von anorganischen und organischen Bestandteilen des aufzubereitenden Abfalls.EP-A-0 302 551 describes an apparatus and a Waste treatment and treatment processes. Doing so the waste is shredded with the help of a shredding device, the finely ground ingredients separated from the coarser components that are difficult or difficult to grind be separated. The finely ground fraction contains organic and inorganic components. Also in US-A-5 322 792 Processing device for waste described does not allow simple, fast and complete separation from inorganic and organic components of the to be processed Waste.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Aufbereitung von Abfällen mit organischen Bestandteilen der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, welche eine vollautomatische und kontinuierliche Aufbereitung der Abfälle bei Einsatz kostengünstigerer Apparate und weniger Energieaufwand bei gleichzeitiger Trennung von organischen und anorganischen Bestandteilen gewährleistet.The object of the present invention is therefore a device and a method for processing waste organic components of the type mentioned at the beginning provide which is a fully automated and continuous Treatment of waste when using cheaper Apparatus and less energy consumption with simultaneous separation guaranteed of organic and inorganic components.

Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung ist gewährleistet, daß die den späteren biologischen Abbau störenden Schwer- und Leichtstoffe bereits zu Anfang des Aufbereitungsvorganges durch die Zerkleinerungstrommel getrennt und sortiert werden. Die getrennte Ausgabe der insbesondere anorganischen und andererseits organischen Bestandteile gewährleistet den kontinuierlichen Betrieb der Vorrichtung. Zudem ist der Energieverbrauch wesentlich geringer als bei bekannten Vorrichtungen.

Die anorganischen Bestandteile werden über eine zweite Öffnung der Zerkleinerungstrommel abgeführt. Die in der Zerkleinerungstrommel verbleibenden organischen Bestandteile des Abfalls werden in einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt bis zu einer vorbestimmten Teilchengröße zerkleinert. Dabei entsteht eine organische, wässrige Suspension, die aus der Zerkleinerungstrommel auf ein Grobsieb ausgetragen wird. Dabei werden nicht zerkleinerbare organische Bestandteile abgetrennt. Die entstehende organische Suspension wird in einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt aus dem Grobsieb auf ein Feinsieb ausgetragen.

    c) discharging the resulting aqueous organic suspension from said comminuting drum (12) via its first opening (34) arid conveying it to a coarse screen (26);
    d) coarse screening of the organic suspension and separating organic materials which cannot be comminuted;
    e) discharging the resulting organic suspension from the coarse screen (26) to a fine screen (28);
    f) fine screening of the organic suspension and returning part of the low-solids water to the comminuting drum (12); and
    g) discharging the resulting organic suspension for further biological treatment.
  9. The method of claim 8
    characterized in that
    the fine screening of the organic suspension occurs before the coarse screening step.
  10. The method of claims 8 or 9
    characterized in that
    a multi-stage coarse and/or fine screening operation is performed.
  11. The method of one or claims 8 to 10
