Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process of homogenisation of solid waste originating from the leather industry, followed by thermal pre-treatment which provides a material with excellent characteristics for feeding into an oxidation or reduction heat treatment plant.
  • CARBORG The material obtained by the process according to the invention, hereinafter called “CARBORG”, consists of a mixture of waste with a high organic content also containing heavy metals, which is easy to handle, contains no foreign bodies, and is suitable for feeding into a heat treatment plant.
  • the invention also relates to a process for the treatment of solid waste originating from the tanning industry, which comprises feeding CARBORG into a pyrolysis/gasification or incineration plant.
  • US 1,963,909 discloses a heat treatment process for tanning waste, but starting with different raw materials and having different purposes from those of the present invention; the process described is useful to prepare a fertiliser, not a material intended to undergo heat treatment.
  • US 2013/0248767 discloses a process for obtaining syngas from biomasses of plant origin which pose very different technical problems from tanning waste.
  • the invention involves the recovery of waste with a high heat value to be combined with wastewater treatment sludge so as to optimise heat and energy recovery.
  • the invention involves collection of the material, treatment under temperature and pressure conditions suitable for its transformation to a viscous, sticky fluid, and mixing of said fluid with sludge of low heat value, in amounts ranging between 50% and 150% by weight of the waste to be treated, to produce a material with a form, composition and energy content able to be recovered efficiently in a suitable treatment plant (reducing treatment, syngas formation and subsequent combustion with energy production).
  • the residue can optionally be stabilised with silicates (5 to 10% by weight of the material input into the heat treatment plant, depending on the alkaline earth content).
  • silicates 5 to 10% by weight of the material input into the heat treatment plant, depending on the alkaline earth content.
  • the amorphous final matrix immobilises the heavy metals present, thus rendering the residual solid material inert.
  • the amount and volume of the residue are drastically reduced compared with the starting raw material.
  • the invention makes the plant energy self-sufficient, and also allows the recovery of other types of waste with the same favourable economic and environmental aspects.
  • the process according to the invention comprises:
  • step b treatment of the sieved, ground waste with direct steam at temperatures ranging between 120 and 170°C and pressure ranging between 6 and 8 bars; c. mixing of the viscous fluid obtained in step b with civil or industrial wastewater treatment sludge;
  • the various types of waste with an organic matrix originating from the tanning cycle are collected in a suitably equipped depot and loaded into a series of grinders and sieves to remove any foreign bodies that may be present.
  • the tanning waste that can be used in the process according to the invention comprises:
  • Said types of waste when treated by the process according to the invention, add heat value to civil and industrial waste treatment sludge, leading to financial advantages in the disposal operation.
  • Dirty wooden pallets from factories, plastic packaging of chemical products, used plastic drums and used plastic tanks can also be employed, especially if they were used in the tanning industry.
  • the waste is mixed in closed systems, and direct steam is introduced until a temperature of 150°C and a pressure of 6-8 bars are reached.
  • Either the continuous or the batch processing system can be used, and the average contact time is about 30 minutes.
  • the product discharged after treatment is a highly viscous liquid.
  • the product After heat treatment the product is mixed with sludge and other types of waste with a low content of organic substances which are difficult to treat, such as civil and/or industrial wastewater treatment sludge.
  • Said liquid is dried (fluid bed, flash dryer, low-temperature drying and the like).
  • the dried product is then broken up into clumps and conveyed to a heat treatment plant.
  • the treatment plant generates waste with a“vitreous” matrix and practically zero release due to the addition of silicates.
  • This step can be performed in a reducing environment (pyrolysis/gasification) or an oxidising environment (incineration), the former being preferred due to its greater simplicity in the purification of effluent gases.
  • the crucial parameter of the destruction process is the temperature which, to guarantee the total breakdown of the waste, must exceed 1,100°C for a sufficient time, and in any event longer than 2 seconds (as specified in European Directive 2010/75/EU, art. 50, regarding incineration and co-incineration).
  • the destruction system in a reducing environment involves the use of plasma torches as energy source.
  • the plasma-producing gas can be air, oxygen-emiched air, an inert gas such as nitrogen, or argon.
  • the stream of a concentrated suspension of the product is injected into and nebulised in the plasma stream, which has a temperature exceeding 3000°C. In this way the water immediately evaporates. Moreover, due to the controlled injection of air for the purpose of partial oxidation of the organic substance, while keeping the reaction environment in reducing conditions, the temperature of the gas stream is maintained for a sufficient time at about l250°C, so that all the organic molecules break down into elementary, mainly inorganic molecules (H 2 , CO, C0 2 ), with small fractions of short-chain hydrocarbons (CH 4 , C 2 H 6 , C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 2 , etc.). Under these conditions, the organic fluorine produces hydrofluoric acid.
  • the gas is cooled by heat recovery and then purified in a wet scrubber (a Venturi scrubber or the like) operating with an alkaline solution, so that any acid gases present, such as hydrofluoric acid, are removed in the form of saline solution.
  • a wet scrubber a Venturi scrubber or the like
  • the saline water after filtration, is disposed of as wastewater.
  • a final dedusting system for example with a wet electrostatic filter, enables a combustible gas usable for energy recovery to be obtained.
  • the water vapour necessary for the operation of the other sections of the integrated process can be produced.
  • the process according to the invention in a typical embodiment thereof, converts 10-15 tons/day of buffing waste (5%), 30-40 tons/day of wet white shavings (12%), 20-30 tons/day of coloured trimmings (10%) and 220 tons/day of wet blue shavings (73%) to CARBORG by treatment at 160°C for 30 min. at 16 bars in the presence of 15 tons/day of water.
  • Figure 1 is a flow chart showing the treatment of 150 tons/day of organic waste by a local tanning cluster.
  • the CARBORG can then be mixed with wastewater treatment sludge in weight ratios ranging between 50% and 150% of the input waste (e.g. in the ratio of 0.5: 1 relative to the dried sludge from wastewater treatment).
  • the destruction system in an oxidising environment uses combustion of an external fuel (usually natural gas) to maintain the desired temperature conditions in the combustion chamber (T>1100°C).
  • Fuel combustion takes place in an industrial burner; the aqueous suspension is nebulised in the combustion chamber.
  • Acid gases such as hydrochloric acid and hydro sulphuric acid
  • heavy metal salts and powders may be present in the effluent gases, depending on the aqueous suspension fed into the incinerator.
  • the effluent gases are then dedusted with a suitable system (such as ceramic filters) and undergo heat recovery in a suitable regenerator.
  • a suitable system such as ceramic filters
  • the water vapour necessary for the operation of the other sections of the integrated process can be produced.
  • the effluent gases are purified in a wet scrubber (a Venturi scrubber or the like) operating with an alkaline solution to remove acid gases.
  • a wet scrubber a Venturi scrubber or the like
  • the saline water after filtration, is disposed of as wastewater.
  • the systems can also be suitably combined so that other solid waste and other liquid waste can then be treated simultaneously.
  • Solid waste containing heavy metals such as chromium is preferably added at the reducing stage, producing a gaseous waste that can be conveyed to the subsequent oxidative stage, whereas liquid waste can be dispersed at the oxidative stage to produce energy, which is recovered in a“cogeneration” system that produces electricity and steam as a thermal energy vector.
  • the plants used in these stages can be small, and therefore suitable for small local facilities wishing to solve their own wastewater problem, or large, possibly also using internal heat recovery systems, electricity and steam cogeneration systems, and integrated water treatment and recirculation systems.
  • the process according to the invention is advantageous because it significantly reduces the weight and volume of the solid waste originating from the tanning cycle.
  • the weight reduction is 70-80% and the volume reduction can be as much as 90% (the apparent density of the material increases from 0.6 Kg/L to about 2 Kg/L).
  • the heavy metals present are embedded in a vitreous matrix with practically zero release, thus eliminating the problem of pollutant residues and enabling the resulting solid waste to be reused as a by-product, for example as a roadbed filler.
  • a mixture of tanning waste consisting of 2.5 Kg of wet white shavings, 1.25 Kg of buffing waste and 1.25 Kg of coloured trimmings (cut to a diameter of about 2 cm) is placed in a 10-litre steel reactor to which 2 litres of water are added. The reactor is closed and the mixture is heated to l60°C for about 30 minutes. The mixture is then cooled, discharged and dried.
  • a mixture of organic waste consisting of 25 Kg of wet white shavings, 12.5 Kg of buffing waste and 12.5 Kg of coloured trimmings (cut to a diameter of about 2 cm) is introduced into a 120-litre steel reactor to which 20 litres of water are added.
