Description

Eco-friendly and high-efficiency solid fuel manufacturing method using high functional organic waste and cogeneration system using the same

The present invention relates to a method for producing a solid raw material from high-functional organic wastes while significantly reducing odor, and a cogeneration system using the same.

Organic wastes such as organic sludge and livestock manure are treated using technologies such as incineration, fermentation and direct and indirect drying. However, incineration generates disadvantageous substances such as dioxins, requires a large amount of external energy, and is expensive due to high installation costs. In addition, the direct and indirect drying has a problem that a considerable amount of energy is consumed to lower the moisture of 80% to 15%, and the bad smell is generated in the solid fuel after drying and drying. In addition, in the case of fermentation, the occurrence of such odor is particularly severe, there is a problem that the energy efficiency is low, takes a lot of time and wastewater treatment. In addition, marine discharges are banned from sewage sludge and livestock manure since January 2012. Also, from January 2013, marine dumping will be banned for wastewater generated during food waste disposal.

Regarding the treatment of high-functional organic wastes, techniques for solidifying fuels have been developed to use them as energy sources. In this case, the water content must be lowered to 15% or less. Such solid fueling techniques are roughly classified into drying and carbonization, and drying is most preferable in the total amount of energy. However, the odor in the drying process and the odor accompanying the storage and use of the fuel produced is a problem.

In the present invention, in order to solve the above problems, to provide a method for producing a solid raw material from a high-functional organic waste, while reducing the odor significantly environmentally and efficiently as a problem.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a cogeneration system using the solid fuel prepared above as a problem.

It is about a method.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to a cogeneration system using the solid fuel produced by the above method.

According to the present invention, by mixing high-functional organic waste and municipal waste into the Fe-based reactor and mixing and adding high-temperature, high-pressure steam, organic matter and odor components due to decomposition of steam radicals and peptone reactions by Fe reaction catalysts are highly By effectively decomposing and rapidly decomposing organic wastes, the organic wastes are crushed and completely decomposed to efficiently dry the internal wastes of the organic wastes to prepare solid fuels. In particular, according to the method of the present invention, the high-pressure and high-pressure steam is applied to reduce the molecular weight of the undecomposed organic waste, and to expand the municipal waste to increase the specific surface area, thereby greatly improving drying efficiency.

Figure 2 shows the ionic change and the dielectric constant change curve of the water.

In the present invention, high-functional organic waste and municipal waste are mixed in a Fe-based reactor and mixed with high temperature and high pressure steam to decompose organic matter and odor components due to decomposition of steam radicals and peptone reaction by Fe reaction catalyst. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing solid fuel using high-efficiency organic waste of eco-friendly and high efficiency, which crushes and completely decomposes organic wastes by a rapid depressurization process so as to efficiently dry them to the internal water of organic wastes.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The present invention is a (a) mixing step of mixing the high-functional organic waste and municipal waste into the Fe-based reactor for mixing; (b) hydrolysis of hydrolyzing the mixture by adding hot steam to the reactor to pressurize the mixture of the organic waste and municipal waste, and then stirring the mixture in a pressurized state; (c) reducing the molecular weight of the organic wastes from step (b) by squeezing the reactor inside by rapidly depressurizing and leaving the steam inside the reactor, or by increasing the specific surface area of the municipal wastes from step (b) Decompression step; (d) applying a vacuum or differential pressure condition to the reactor to remove moisture from the reactants passed through step (c); And (e) a solid fuelization step of naturally drying the reactants passed through the step (d) to produce a solid fuel having a water content of 10 to 20%; and comprising a solid fuel manufacturing method using a high functional organic waste. will be.

In the present invention, the step (a) is a step of mixing the high-functional organic waste and the waste mixed with municipal waste in the Fe-based reactor, the high-functional organic waste is selected from livestock manure, sewage sludge, food waste At least one of them is a waste having a water content of 80% or more, and the municipal waste preferably includes papers and plastics. This is achieved by maximizing the efficiency of drying through the reaction of low molecular weight organic waste and the increased specific surface area of paper and plastic wastes, which are expanded by decompression in the decompression stage, and the production of plastic wastes including petroleum organic materials. This is because the low calorific value of the solid fuel can be improved. Preferably, the paper is 50 to 55% by weight of the municipal waste, plastics to include 40 to 45% by weight.

In addition, in the step (a), the high-functional organic waste and municipal waste are more preferably mixed at a ratio of 3.5-4: 0.5-1. In addition, more preferably, the high-functional organic waste and municipal waste are mixed into the reactor at a filling rate of 70 to 90%. It is possible to maintain the efficiency of the reaction by maximizing the processing capacity of the waste because high temperature and high pressure water vapor can be supplied from the outside of the reactor to maintain contact reaction with saturated steam even if the desired waste is introduced into the reactor at the high filling rate as described above. You can increase it.

In addition, in the present invention, the step (b) is a step of hydrolyzing the mixture by stirring in a pressurized state after pressurizing the mixture of the organic waste and municipal waste by applying a high temperature steam to the reactor, by pressing It is a step of lowering the moisture content of the organic waste by high temperature while decomposing the constituents of the organic waste to low molecular weight, decomposing odor components including sulfuric acid component to remove the odor. At this time, preferably by using a boiler connected to the reactor, by applying a steam of 200 ~ 250 ℃ to the reactor to the internal pressure of the reactor to 20 to 25 atm, and then by agitating the hydrolysis reaction is made. As shown in FIG. 2, the ionic ([H +] [OH−]) change and the change in permittivity of water were as shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. This appears, and the dielectric constant is lowered to 1/3 to 1/4 level compared to room temperature, so that a potential difference occurs between ions, thereby increasing the organic decomposition ability. When the temperature and the pressure range is lower than this, the decomposition effect of the organic matter and the reduction of the odor are reduced, and the desired effect cannot be obtained, and when the temperature and the pressure range are exceeded, energy loss is caused.

In addition, the present invention is to supply the steam in the step (b) by using a boiler connected to the reactor, without the process of changing to hot water by direct contact injection to the organic waste of low temperature, The organic wastes can come into contact with the water vapor supplied from the boiler and cause a physicochemical reaction, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the reaction. In addition, since the phenomenon of reacting with hot water does not occur by supplying steam using a boiler supplied from the outside as described above, the reaction can be maintained even if the amount of waste charged in the reactor is increased, and the mixture of waste to be treated It can be charged to reach 70-90% of the reactor to cause a contact reaction with water vapor.

In addition, as the hydrolysis reaction is performed in the Fe-based reactor, the catalytic action of Fe can promote the peptone reaction, particularly in the region occupied by saturated steam in the reactor, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of the reaction. According to the treatment and operation of the reactor, an organic film of 1 to 2 mm is formed inside the reactor so that corrosion by NaCl or the like can be prevented.

In addition, in the present invention, the step (c) is to discharge the vapor inside the reactor to rapidly reduce the inside of the reactor to stand to lower the molecular weight of the organic waste, which has passed the step (b), or (b) In this step, the specific surface area of municipal waste is increased to crush. This step is to reduce the molecular weight or crush by increasing the volume by temporarily depressurizing the reactant under high pressure. By this decompression step, the volume of urban garbage as a raw material expands instantaneously, and the specific surface area is increased, so that the drying time is considerably shortened as it reacts with the water-containing organic material, thereby significantly improving the drying efficiency. It is preferable to discharge the steam in the reactor for 10 to 120 seconds to rapidly reduce the pressure to be 0.9 to 1.1 atm.

In the present invention, the step (d) is to remove the water of the reactants passed through the step (c) by applying a vacuum or differential pressure condition to the reactor, preferably by using a vacuum pump connected to the reactor By applying a vacuum or a differential pressure condition for 10 to 15 minutes to the reactor is characterized in that to remove 5 to 10% of the moisture contained in the reactant passed through the step (c).

In addition, in the present invention, the step (e) is a step of producing a solid fuel having a water content of 10 to 20% by naturally drying the reactants passed through the step (d), preferably low calorific value of 5000 kcal / kg or more It is characterized by producing a solid fuel having.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to a cogeneration system using the solid fuel produced by the above method. That is, the present invention produces a solid fuel (RDF) from the high-functional organic waste and municipal waste and supplies it to the RDF burner and boiler to produce superheated steam and to produce electric power by the steam power generation system using the superheated steam. It will be able to provide a cogeneration system that can do this.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples.

Example

<실시예 1><Example 1>

Making the reactor with a 5m ³ the size of the batch of the Fe material, and the water content of 80-85% of livestock manure 3.5 tons and the paper sheet MSW (municipal waste), and then input port of the reactor upper portion fed to the reactor within 0.5 to ASAP 1 tonne Closed. At the same time as the feeding was completed, the livestock manure and MSW were mixed and water vapor was supplied at 210 ° C. so that the internal pressure of the reactor was 23 atm. At this time, the saturated steam or superheated steam reached the reaction conditions within about 3 to 5 minutes in the steam supply dedicated boiler at the top of the reactor prepared in advance, and the steam supply was stopped. The reaction mixture was stirred at 10 to 15 rpm to produce a physicochemical reaction between the water vapor and the waste. During the reaction, when the temperature and pressure were below the preset temperature, saturated steam or superheated steam was intermittently supplied to maintain the atmosphere at 210 ° C. and 23 atm. The above state is organically treated for about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the properties of the object to be treated to sufficiently generate a peptone reaction by the catalytic action of water vapor, the organic material to be treated, and the Fe-based reactor.

Next, the pressure relief valve was opened and vapor was instantaneously discharged through the steam outlet until it reached atmospheric pressure (1 atm) within 2 minutes so that organic matter, organic cells, or MSW that were not decomposed during the above reaction were low-molecularized or crushed. After completion of the low molecular crushing and crushing, a vacuum (differential pressure) process is performed for about 10 to 15 minutes using an external vacuum (differential pressure) pump to remove water in the reactor under high temperature vacuum or differential pressure conditions. About 5-10% were removed. The product produced after the reaction was transferred to a paddle-type dry plant and then dried naturally to produce a final solid fuel having a water content of 15%.

<비교예 1>Comparative Example 1

Solid fuel was prepared by the method of Example 1, but solid fuel was prepared without adding municipal waste (MSW).

<비교예 2>Comparative Example 2

Solid fuel was prepared by the method of Example 1, but solid fuel was prepared without undergoing a process of suddenly depressurizing the steam after pressurizing.

실험 및 결과Experiment and result

The change in the water content according to the manufacturing time (drying time) of the solid fuel according to the above example was measured using the high-water waste that was not treated and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 as a control, and are shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1

Drying time	High content waste (wt%)	Example 1 (wt%)	Comparative Example 1 (wt%)	Comparative Example 2 (wt%)
0	83	59	84	60
10	80	36	81	47
20	77	10	75	36
40	65	5	63	22
60	61	4	56	15

As shown in Table 1, in Comparative Example 1 treated without containing municipal waste, the drying rate was almost the same as that of the non-treated wastewater. This is believed to be due to the evaporation of only the water in the upper gel state and the evaporation of the water in the lower gel state as it becomes a gel state due to the low molecular weight of the organic material and the external outflow of the intramolecular level. In addition, in the case of Comparative Example 2 treated without undergoing a rapid decompression process, it was confirmed that the increase rate of the specific surface area is small, which affects the drying rate during natural drying, and after about 20 hours in the case of Example 1 according to the present invention By showing a water content of about 10% it was confirmed that the efficiency of solid fuel production is very high.

From these results, it was confirmed that the time to reach 10% of the water content was reduced by more than two times by adding urban waste and undergoing rapid pressure reduction and vacuum processes.

In addition, the results of analyzing the characteristics of the municipal waste used in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are as follows.

In addition, as a result of measuring the calorific value of the solid fuel prepared in Example 1 of the present invention and the solid fuel prepared in Comparative Example 1, the average of 5,000 kcal / kg of the case of Example 1 with the addition of municipal waste is about 500 kcal / kg The calorific value was shown. That is, more than 50% of papers and 40% or more of plastics contained in urban waste improves the specific surface area in a sudden reduction process, thereby increasing the drying speed, and also generating calorific value of solid products by the petroleum-based organic plastics. It seems to be able to increase. The average calorific value is shown in Table 3 below. (Unit: kcal / kg)
