Description

  The present invention relates to a method for treating high water content organic waste. In particular, high-moisture organic waste suitable for processing high-water-content garbage (eg vegetable waste) generated from the fermentation liquor waste liquor, alcohol fermentation waste liquor, and fruit and vegetable markets and food factories. It is invention which concerns on this processing method.

  The high water content organic waste to which the treatment method of the present invention can be applied is not limited to the above, but also includes all animal and plant residues (fish coarse, animal carcasses, etc.).

  Conventionally, when fermentation by-product waste liquid and garbage are stored and left as they are, they easily rot and generate a strange odor in 1 to 2 days.

  However, since it has a high water content, it is not suitable for disposal as it is, and it is difficult to dispose of it unprocessed in the ocean due to regulations of environment-related laws.

  For this reason, in the case of fermentation waste liquid, drying treatment (concentration drying) may be considered, but a large amount of heat energy for evaporation is required or time is required. For this reason, it is desirable to perform solid-liquid separation.

  However, in the case of solid-liquid separation, the liquid phase side often contains a large amount of substantial organic matter, and liquid fertilization is possible (see Patent Document 1), but the liquid separated by solid-liquid separation is discarded as it is. Is undesirable because it increases underwater BOD in rivers and lakes.

  Therefore, it was necessary to purify the liquid phase by ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis, and to dispose it in a state suitable for discharge to the natural environment (see Patent Document 2, pages 10 to 11).

Although it does not affect the novelty or inventive step of the present invention, a method is described that can compost (organic fertilizer) a high water content organic waste without solid-liquid separation as in the present invention. For example, Patent Documents 3 and 4 exist as prior art documents.

  In view of the above, the present invention, even if it is a highly water-containing organic waste, can be processed as it is without adjusting the moisture in the drying process or solid-liquid separation process, and without generating off-flavors, It is an object (problem) to provide a novel high water content organic waste treatment method that can store a treated product for a long period of time and can prepare a primary fermented product suitable as a material for compost and soil improvement materials.

  The processing method of the high water content organic waste of this invention solves the said subject by the following structure.

A method for treating liquid or liquefied highly water-containing organic waste (hereinafter referred to as “liquid organic matter”),
The liquid organic matter is deposited on a deposition medium body that is adjusted to a carbon ratio (C / N ratio) of 100 or more and an initial moisture of 35 to 50% by adding and mixing a microbial material and a nitrogen material to a woody carbon material. It is characterized in that the primary fermentation product is prepared by controlling the water content by spraying on the medium body and by turning it over to maintain the deposition medium body in a state where the maximum fermentation temperature is 55 ° C. or higher.

  By maintaining the maximum fermentation temperature of the sedimented medium body at 55 ° C or higher while adjusting the moisture with a liquid organic substance to the sedimented medium body mainly composed of woody carbon material, the decay that causes the off-flavor is almost advanced. In addition, moisture can be evaporated by fermentation heat. For this reason, a large amount of energy is not required for water evaporation, and the wood carbon material is the main component, so even if a strange odor is generated, it is absorbed by the wood carbon material.

  The primary fermented product thus prepared is appropriately fermented with a general-purpose method by adding nitrogen materials, etc. (when the carbon content has not reached a state suitable for secondary fermentation), and composting it. Can do. Moreover, it can be mixed with other soil-solidifying materials and used as a soil improving material such as a slope greening material.

  Furthermore, the woody carbon material leads to effective use of pruned branch chips generated in large quantities from the forest and industrial waste such as sawdust generated in a lumber mill, and the present invention greatly contributes to biomass circulation.

  Hereinafter, the desirable form of the processing method of the high water content organic waste in this invention is demonstrated.

  As described above, the high water content organic waste that is a treatment object of the present invention includes not only liquids such as distilled liquor waste liquor and alcohol fermentation waste liquor, but also vegetable waste, fish coarse, Animal and plant residues such as animal carcasses are also included.

  And this invention is the largest in the sedimentation culture medium body which spread | spreads liquid organic substance (a liquid or liquefied highly water-containing organic waste) contains wood carbon material, especially wood carbon material of conifer origin. Has characteristics. That is, it is different from the conventional deposition medium body for composting. That is, the charged (initial) carbon rate (C / N ratio) is 100 to 300 or higher, and the conventional carbon rate of 25 to 50 (preferably 30 to 40) at the time of charging in composting is not assumed. In addition, woody carbon materials contain cellulose and lignin and are difficult to decompose. Among them, woody carbon materials derived from conifers contain a larger amount of lignin and are more difficult to decompose by fermentation. For this reason, there has been no example of a deposition medium body containing a large amount of carbon material derived from conifers until composting.

  However, the present inventors use an appropriate microbial material (complex fungus body) even if it is a deposition medium body (30% or more, depending on the kind of coniferous tree) mainly composed of coniferous origin. Mixing a small amount of nitrogen material, adjusting the moisture with liquid organic matter, and switching frequently (for example, once a day), and if it is performed and contacted with air, the fermentation temperature above the predetermined temperature can be maintained, and extra It was discovered (discovered) that primary fermented products can be prepared together with water evaporation without using extra energy. Furthermore, the carbonaceous material derived from conifers has a bactericidal or sterilizing action, and can be expected to have an action of suppressing spoilage that causes a strange odor.

  Chip materials (pruned branches) such as fir, cedar, pine, hinoki or sawdust are used as the carbon material derived from conifers. Since these are usually generated as industrial waste, they lead to effective use of biomass. As carbon materials, hardwood (pruned branch) chip materials and sawdust, and for controlling moisture, rice straw, shredded rice straw and the like can be used as appropriate. The chip material is preferably about 50 mm or less in length and 5 mm or less in thickness, and more preferably 30 mm or less in length and 3 mm or less in thickness. If the chip material is too large, fermentation decomposition takes time, and the use of the primary fermentation product is limited.

  Here, the nitrogen material means a material having a carbon content of less than 50, preferably a material having a carbon content of 20 or less. For example, rice bran (22), okara (10.3), oil residue (5.6), shochu residue Plants such as (8.1) and stored feces such as chicken dung (6), cow dung (15), and pig dung (8) can be suitably used.

  Conifer bark is 172 and sawdust is 340 to 1258. Alcohol waste liquid is 19.4 and vegetable waste is 43.

  The microbial material is preferably a complex microbial cell containing culturable bacteria, actinomycetes and filamentous fungi. This is because actinomycetes and filamentous fungi are effective for degrading cellulose and lignin contained in the carbonaceous material of coniferous origin. Furthermore, the bacteria preferably include aerobic bacteria, facultative anaerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. In the present invention, anaerobic fermentation under high water content is planned together with aerobic fermentation, and further, lignin decomposition is mainly performed under anaerobic conditions in the secondary fermentation.

  Bacteria (photosynthetic bacteria, autotrophic bacteria (hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, iron-oxidizing bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, etc.), sulfate-reducing bacteria), actinomycetes And filamentous fungi (molds), yeast, mushrooms and even enzymes.

  By including the above-mentioned autotrophic bacteria in complex cells, decomposition of ammonia, mercaptans, hydrogen sulfide, butanol, etc., which cause off-flavors, is promoted, and off-flavors are suppressed and decomposed by equilibrium transfer of the decomposition reaction. Is promoted. In general, commercially available microbial material may be used as the inoculum material, but after preparing the primary / secondary fermentation treatment product, the primary / secondary fermentation treatment product is used in the whole or most of the microbial material (7 ~ 80% or more).

  The complex cells can be appropriately selected from commercially available products or self-prepared products (primary / secondary fermentation processed products) satisfying the above requirements, and may be prepared by appropriately mixing the various bacteria.

  Here, the desired value of the carbon ratio varies depending on the type of high water content organic waste, but is preferably 100 to 200 or more, more preferably 250 or more. If the carbon ratio is too low, in the case of the present invention, the water content is temporarily high and the nitrogen content increases, so there is a possibility that a bad odor may be generated.

  The upper limit of the carbon rate includes nitrogen materials such as chicken manure, oil cake, okara, etc., and the maximum fermentation temperature is 55 ° C. or higher, preferably 60 ° C. or higher, more preferably, by fermentation. If it can maintain 70 degreeC or more, it will not specifically limit. If the carbon rate is too high, the amount of nitrogen is relatively reduced and the progress of fermentation decomposition is slowed. Therefore, a carbon rate of 800 or less is usually desirable.

  When the fermentation temperature is 55 ° C. or higher, desirably 60 to 70 ° C. or higher, the evaporation of water is promoted, the liquid organic matter can be processed for a unit period, and various bacteria are killed. It will be difficult to rot in the storage environment.

  Further, the desired value of the initial moisture (based on the total amount) varies depending on the type of liquid organic matter (highly water-containing organic waste), but is preferably 30 to 50%, and more preferably 40 to 50%. If the moisture is too low, it becomes difficult to adjust the moisture in a fermentable state by spraying the liquid organic matter, and the fermentation decomposition is difficult to proceed. That is, the woody carbon material, in particular, the chip easily repels water, and it becomes difficult for the deposition medium body to retain water necessary for fermentation. On the other hand, if it is too high, the processing ability per time of the liquid organic material will be small.

  And the processing method of this invention disperse | distributes a liquid organic waste to the deposition culture medium body prepared as mentioned above, and adjusts it to the water | moisture content required for fermentation.

  Here, the moisture necessary for fermentation (based on the total amount) is usually 50 to 80%, preferably 60 to 70%. Since there are many woody carbon materials, even if it is more than 50-60% of the water | moisture content at the time of the primary fermentation of normal composting, decay does not advance.

  At this time, the shape of the sedimentation medium body 12 may be a bottom circular shape or a rectangular mountain shape as in the case of manufacturing a normal compost, but a plurality of rows in a mountain shape as shown in FIG. It is desirable to provide it.

  This is because, as shown in the figure, the stirring screw 14 includes a right-hand screw 14a and a left-hand screw 14b, and a self-propelled compost turning machine (compost turner) that stirs while moving toward the center can be used. Specifically, those marketed under the trade name “COMPOTURN RT3000” by Ryokusan Co., Ltd. can be used. With this stirring method, during the stirring, fresh air is introduced from both sides of the bottom toward the center of the deposition medium body, the fermentation is promoted, and water and carbon dioxide produced by the fermentation reaction are volatilized smoothly to the top. (See dashed line)

  In addition, in the case of spraying, liquids such as shochu waste liquid are transferred directly from the pit with a pump when processing in the factory, or transferred to the tank truck and sprayed from the tank truck when processing outside the factory. In the case of solids such as vegetable scraps, they are pulverized through a mixer and liquefied with a pump or the like.

  In the case of using the above compost turner, the bowl-shaped deposition medium body 12 is, for example, a base width: 3.5 m, a height: 1.5 m, and the size of the site leaving a margin for operating the compost turner. Install one or more rows according to

  In addition, when there is no site margin to install the bowl-shaped deposition medium body, box-shaped deposition is performed using a fermenter pit 17 equipped with a belt conveyor type stirrer (turnback machine) 16 as shown in FIGS. The medium body 12A may be formed. The stirrer 16 has stirring blades 16b attached to an outer surface of an endless belt 16a at a predetermined pitch, and the endless belt 16a is rotated by a belt transmission 18. And the stirrer 16 is installed on the traveling carriage 20 that moves in the vertical direction so as to be movable left and right and front and rear via a moving carriage 22 that moves in the left and right direction. In the figure, 24 is a running rail and 26 is a lifting motor.

  In this case, since it is difficult to aerate the air into the culture medium at the time of switching, separately, a large number of aeration pipes 28 are provided on one surface, and aeration (not shown) is also provided on the peripheral wall as appropriate. The aeration pipe 28 is connected to the blower 32 via the distribution pipe 30 (see FIG. 3).

The size is, for example, width: 15 m, length: 40 m, and height: 1 to 1.5 m. The capacity is 900 m ³ .

The amount of application of the liquid organic material to the deposition medium body 12 is not particularly limited as long as it is moisture capable of maintaining the fermentation, but is, for example, 1 to 4 m ³ (1 to 4 t) per 100 m ³ . Usually, the amount does not exude from the bottom, but in the case of exudation, it may be received by a scissors and circulated and dispersed.

  After the spraying of the liquid organic matter, turning with aeration (air inflow) is performed. Before the turning, it is desirable to cover the entire surface with a carbon material derived from conifers on the surface of the medium mountain.

  By cutting back with the entire surface covered with woody carbon materials (especially those of coniferous origin), the surface layer has a higher proportion of coniferous carbon materials, and the surface is on the side to prevent decay and promote deodorization. The generation of off-flavor is further suppressed.

  And when it is set as a compost material, when the organic carbon rate contained in a liquid organic substance is high, nitrogen material is added suitably.

  Thus, the prepared primary fermented product is sterilized or sterilized by the heat generated in the primary fermentation, hardly perishes, and contains a woody carbon material of coniferous origin (having a sterilizing or sterilizing action against spoilage bacteria), so that an off-flavor is generated. It can be stored for a long time.

  And, when this primary fermented product is subjected to secondary fermentation and composted, it is turned around once a month while adjusting the moisture content to 50-60% at the time of normal composting. Continue until the mountain no longer heats up and complete the secondary fermentation to complete ripe compost.

  In addition, when used as a soil improvement material (solidification material), inorganic industrial waste such as blast furnace slag, fly ash, pulp ash, and recycled gypsum can be mixed as appropriate, and used as a soil improvement material such as slope planting material. It is.

  The present invention will be described in more detail based on examples.

  Below, an example of a composition prescription is shown for a primary fermented product.

Commercial composite microbial materials 0.125m ³
Primary fermented product (composite microbial material) 25m ³
Rice bran 1.75m ³
Fermented rice bran (composite microbial material) 0.25m ³
Oil bottle 1m ³
Dried chicken manure 5m ³
Softwood chip (pruned branch) 100m ³
Moisture 40-45%
Here, it is assumed that the pruned branch chip (the minimum carbon rate of sawdust is quoted: 340), all the microbial materials (composite cells) are “10”, and the carbon rate is about 260. This numerical value is different from the carbon ratio of 50 to 60 at the time of primary fermentation in normal compost.

A primary fermentation product was prepared using a medium having a total composition of 50 m ³ and spraying the shochu liquor according to the scheme shown in Table 1.

  And temperature was measured in three places, upper, middle, and lower in a culture medium mountain. From the temperature measurement results shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the culture pile in this example is undergoing fermentation decomposition. That is, the maximum fermentation temperature is maintained at 55 ° C. or higher from the beginning (the first day) and maintained at 70 ° C. or higher after the fourth day, and it can be seen that favorable fermentation proceeds.

It is a cross-sectional model figure in the case of turning back a bowl-shaped accumulation-medium body using a screw type stirrer (turn-back machine). It is a cross-sectional model figure of the fermentation apparatus provided with the belt conveyor type stirrer (turning back machine). It is also a plan model diagram (in a state where the deposition medium body is not filled).
