Description

パーム椰子種子殻の処理方法How to treat palm palm seed husks
 本発明は、パーム椰子種子殻からの不快臭の発生を効果的に抑制するためのパーム椰子種子殻の処理方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for treating palm coconut seed husks for effectively suppressing the generation of unpleasant odors from palm coconut seed husks.
 再生可能エネルギー特別措置法の施行などにより、発電用ボイラ等での代替燃料として、パーム椰子種子殻(PKS:Palm Kernel Shell、以後「パーム椰子種子殻」と呼ぶ場合もある。)を使用する技術開発が進められている。 Technology that uses palm coconut seed husks (PKS: Palm Kernel Shell, hereinafter sometimes referred to as "palm coconut husks") as an alternative fuel for power generation boilers, etc. due to the enforcement of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Renewable Energy. Development is in progress.
 パーム椰子種子殻は、パーム油産業の副産物として年間1千万t以上発生することに加え、4000kcal/kg以上の高い発熱量を有し、且つ焼成した際の灰分量が少ない等、燃料として望ましい特徴を有する。一方で、パーム椰子種子殻は、カプリル酸やカプリン酸等の低級脂肪酸をはじめとした多種多量の脂肪酸が含まれているため、大量に扱う場合には不快臭への対策が必要となる。 Palm coconut seed husks are desirable as fuel because they generate more than 10 million tons per year as a by-product of the palm oil industry, have a high calorific value of 4000 kcal / kg or more, and have a small amount of ash when fired. It has characteristics. On the other hand, since palm coconut seed husks contain a large amount of fatty acids including lower fatty acids such as caprylic acid and capric acid, it is necessary to take measures against unpleasant odors when handling a large amount.
 例えば、下記特許文献1には、発電設備から発生する抽気蒸気を使用して80℃以上の温度で加熱処理した後、貯蔵することを特徴とするパーム椰子種子殻の貯蔵方法が開示されている。また、下記特許文献2には、115℃以上での熱処理工程を含む、パーム椰子種子殻の全含水率を7~15質量%に調整し、更に含油率をパーム椰子種子殻1gあたり10mg以下に調整する取扱方法が開示されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a method for storing palm coconut seed husks, which comprises heat-treating at a temperature of 80 ° C. or higher using extracted steam generated from a power generation facility and then storing the seed husks. .. Further, in Patent Document 2 below, the total water content of palm coconut seed husks, which includes a heat treatment step at 115 ° C. or higher, is adjusted to 7 to 15% by mass, and the oil content is further reduced to 10 mg or less per 1 g of palm coconut seed husks. The handling method to adjust is disclosed.

 しかしながら、特許文献1又は特許文献2に開示されている方法は、パーム椰子種子殻の消臭処理のために貯蔵場所や処理場所等での熱源を必須とする。このため、装置規模が拡大したり、処理場所に制約を有するといった課題がある。 However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 requires a heat source at a storage place, a treatment place, or the like for deodorizing the palm coconut seed husk. Therefore, there are problems that the scale of the apparatus is expanded and the processing place is restricted.
 従って、本発明の課題は、実施場所において熱源等を必要としない方法でありながらも、パーム椰子種子殻からの不快臭の発生を効果的に抑制することができる、パーム椰子種子殻の処理方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the subject of the present invention is a method for treating palm coconut seed husks, which can effectively suppress the generation of unpleasant odor from palm coconut seed husks, even though it is a method that does not require a heat source or the like at the place of implementation. The purpose is to provide.
 本発明者らは、鋭意検討の結果、パーム椰子種子殻に特定の無機粉粒体を混合することによって、パーム椰子種子殻から発生する不快臭が効果的に低減できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of diligent studies, the present inventors have found that by mixing a specific inorganic powder or granular material with a palm coconut seed husk, the unpleasant odor generated from the palm coconut seed husk can be effectively reduced, and the present invention has been completed. I came to do it.
 すなわち、本発明に係るパーム椰子種子殻の処理方法は、搾油されて発生したパーム椰子種子殻に、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合する工程(a)を有することを特徴とする。 That is, the method for treating palm coconut seed husks according to the present invention is characterized by having a step (a) of mixing porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules with palm coconut seed husks generated by oil extraction. To do.
 前記多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、付着水等の貯蔵環境に存在する水分中にゆっくりと溶解し、かかる水を弱アルカリ性(pH8~pH10)に変化させる。この多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体による弱アルカリ環境の生成によって、パーム椰子種子殻からの不快臭の発生が抑制される。 The porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material slowly dissolves in water existing in a storage environment such as adhering water, and changes the water to be weakly alkaline (pH 8 to pH 10). The generation of a weak alkaline environment by the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder granules suppresses the generation of an unpleasant odor from palm coconut seed husks.
 例えば、パーム椰子種子殻の主要な不快臭であるカルボン酸類からの酸味臭は、パーム椰子種子殻をpH8以上のアルカリ水と接触させることによる化学的中和反応によって、効果的に抑制できる。 For example, the sour odor from carboxylic acids, which is the main unpleasant odor of palm coconut seed husks, can be effectively suppressed by a chemical neutralization reaction by contacting the palm coconut seed husks with alkaline water having a pH of 8 or higher.
 更に、パーム椰子種子殻の貯蔵時には、パーム椰子種子殻中の炭水化物等の加水分解によってメタン発酵が進行する環境が形成され、パーム椰子種子殻にアンモニア態窒素(「アンモニア性窒素」とも称される。)が生じ得る。このアンモニア態窒素は、アルカリ性溶液と触れると、アンモニアとして揮発して特有の刺激臭を発生する。このアンモニア態窒素の揮散は、溶液のアルカリ度が高いほど短時間に多量に生じるため、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体が形成する弱アルカリ性環境下(pH8~10)であれば、かかるアンモニアの揮発も有効に抑制することができる。 Furthermore, when the palm coconut seed husks are stored, an environment is formed in which methane fermentation proceeds by hydrolysis of carbohydrates in the palm coconut husks, and ammonia nitrogen (also referred to as "ammoniae nitrogen") is formed in the palm coconut seed husks. .) Can occur. When this ammonia nitrogen comes into contact with an alkaline solution, it volatilizes as ammonia and generates a peculiar pungent odor. This volatilization of ammonia nitrogen occurs in a large amount in a short time as the alkalinity of the solution increases. Therefore, in a weak alkaline environment (pH 8 to 10) formed by porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material, Such volatilization of ammonia can also be effectively suppressed.
 前記多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、トバモライト(Ca5(Si6182)・nH2O)を主要構成相とする多孔質体であり、50m2/g~80m2/gの比表面積を有するものとしても構わない。 The porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is a porous body having tovamorite (Ca 5 (Si 6 O 18 H 2 ), nH 2 O) as a main constituent phase, and is 50 m 2 / g to 80 m 2 It may have a specific surface area of / g.
 上記のような、比表面積の高い多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体によれば、臭気成分の吸着能が実現される。例えば、アンモニアガスについては、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体1gあたり500μL以上を吸着することができる。このため、かかる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を、パーム椰子種子殻に混合することで、化学的中和反応に加えて、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体自体が有する吸着能により、不快臭の低減効果が更に高められる。 According to the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material having a high specific surface area as described above, the ability to adsorb odorous components is realized. For example, with respect to ammonia gas, 500 μL or more can be adsorbed per 1 g of porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material. Therefore, by mixing the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material with the palm coconut seed shell, in addition to the chemical neutralization reaction, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material itself has. The adsorptive capacity further enhances the effect of reducing unpleasant odors.
 前記多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、空隙率が60体積%~80体積%、かさ比重が0.8g/mL以下であるものとしても構わない。 The porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material may have a porosity of 60% by volume to 80% by volume and a bulk specific gravity of 0.8 g / mL or less.
 多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の空隙率が60体積%未満であると、貯蔵環境に存在する水分を多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体内に取り込む効果が充分に得られない可能性があると共に、上記の不快臭成分の吸着能が低下する。一方で、空隙率が80体積%を超える程度に空隙が多く存在すると、パーム椰子種子殻と混合した際に多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体が壊れて微粒子化するという問題が生じる可能性がある。 If the porosity of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is less than 60% by volume, the effect of taking in the water existing in the storage environment into the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material cannot be sufficiently obtained. In addition to the possibility, the ability to adsorb the above-mentioned unpleasant odor components is reduced. On the other hand, if there are many voids so that the porosity exceeds 80% by volume, there may be a problem that the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder granules are broken into fine particles when mixed with palm coconut seed husks. There is sex.
 また、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体のかさ比重が大きすぎることは、上記の空隙率の減少と同様に、貯蔵環境に存在する水分を多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体内に取り込む効果が充分に得られない可能性があると共に、上記の不快臭成分の吸着能が低下するという問題が生じる可能性があるため、0.8g/mL以下とするのが好ましい。 In addition, if the bulk specific gravity of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is too large, the water existing in the storage environment is removed from the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material in the same manner as the above-mentioned decrease in porosity. It is preferable that the amount is 0.8 g / mL or less because the effect of incorporating the unpleasant odor component may not be sufficiently obtained and the problem of lowering the adsorption ability of the above-mentioned unpleasant odor component may occur.
 本発明の処理方法によれば、熱源を必要とすることなく、パーム椰子種子殻の不快臭の発生を抑制することが可能となる。 According to the treatment method of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the generation of an unpleasant odor of palm coconut seed husks without the need for a heat source.
 核油を搾取して得られるパーム椰子種子殻は、通常、約30質量%の高い含水率を有している。かかるパーム椰子種子殻は、野積みされたヤードから船舶等に積み込まれて輸送されるのが一般的であり、その際の含水率は、天日で乾燥されたとしても、その表面部で17質量%程度であり、内部に至っては20質量%を超える。そして、かかる含水率を有するパーム椰子種子殻は、陸揚げ時や貯蔵時において不快臭による臭気問題が生じる場合がある。 Palm coconut seed husks obtained by exploiting nuclear oil usually have a high water content of about 30% by mass. Such palm coconut seed husks are generally loaded onto a ship or the like from an open-loaded yard and transported, and the water content at that time is 17 on the surface thereof even if it is dried in the sun. It is about mass%, and exceeds 20 mass% inside. Then, the palm coconut seed husk having such a water content may cause an odor problem due to an unpleasant odor at the time of landing or storage.
 パーム椰子種子殻から発生する臭気成分には、アルデヒド類、カルボン酸類、エステル類、ケトン類、チオール類等が含まれており、中でもアルデヒド類及びカルボン酸類が、不快臭に関する主要な臭気成分である。 Odor components generated from palm coconut seed husks include aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, ketones, thiols, etc. Among them, aldehydes and carboxylic acids are the main odor components related to unpleasant odors. ..
 本発明に係る方法は、このように不快臭が発生し得るパーム椰子種子殻に、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合する工程(a)を有することを特徴とするものであり、かかる工程(a)によって、不快臭を低減する効果が奏される。この点については、実施例を参照して後述される。 The method according to the present invention is characterized by having a step (a) of mixing porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material with palm coconut seed husks which may generate an unpleasant odor. By the step (a), the effect of reducing the unpleasant odor is achieved. This point will be described later with reference to Examples.
 工程(a)で用いられる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、例えば、珪石等のケイ素源(SiO2)、石灰等のカルシウム源(CaO)、及び水を主原料に、高温・高圧下の圧力容器内における水熱反応によって製造されたものや、セメントペースト硬化体等の、骨材含有量の少ないセメント硬化体が利用できる。好ましくは、空隙率(「細孔率」とも称される。)が60体積%~80体積%、かさ比重が0.8g/mL以下の多孔質軽量粉粒体である。なお、本発明における多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の空隙率は、水銀圧入式ポロシメーターによる測定値であり、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体のかさ比重は、JIS A 5430「繊維強化セメント板」のけい酸カルシウム板に係る手順に準じた方法による測定値である。 The porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) uses, for example, a silicon source (SiO 2 ) such as silica stone, a calcium source (CaO) such as lime, and water as main raw materials at a high temperature. A cement-hardened material having a low aggregate content, such as a product produced by a hydrothermal reaction in a pressure vessel under high pressure or a cement paste-hardened material, can be used. Preferably, it is a porous lightweight powder or granular material having a porosity (also referred to as “porosity”) of 60% by volume to 80% by volume and a bulk specific gravity of 0.8 g / mL or less. The porosity of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material in the present invention is a value measured by a mercury press-fitting porosimeter, and the bulk specific gravity of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is JIS A 5430. It is a measured value by the method according to the procedure concerning the calcium silicate board of "fiber reinforced cement board".
 工程(a)で用いられる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の大きさは、例えば水熱反応で得られた多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物硬化体を、粉砕、分級することで任意の大きさに調整することが可能である。ただし、後述する、使用後の多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を再利用するための回収を容易に行う観点から、大きさが数cmのパーム椰子種子殻に対して、層別可能な大きさである5mm以下の多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体であるのが好ましい。すなわち、工程(a)で用いられる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、粒径5mm以下であるのが好ましい。 The size of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) is arbitrary by, for example, crushing and classifying the cured porous calcium silicate hydrate obtained by a hydrothermal reaction. It is possible to adjust the size of. However, from the viewpoint of facilitating recovery for reusing the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules after use, which will be described later, stratification is possible for palm coconut seed husks having a size of several cm. It is preferably a porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material having a large size of 5 mm or less. That is, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) preferably has a particle size of 5 mm or less.
 なお、本発明における多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の粒径は、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体が通過可能な網篩(ふるい)の内、最小の篩目の大きさを指す。 The particle size of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material in the present invention is the smallest mesh size among the mesh sieves (sieves) through which the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material can pass. Refers to.
 工程(a)で用いられる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、パーム椰子種子殻の消臭用として製造されたものであっても構わないが、上記の特徴を有するものであれば、例えば、水質・底質浄化材や軽量気泡コンクリート等、他の用途向けに製造された物を流用しても構わない。後者の場合、本発明の処理方法は、軽量気泡コンクリートの製造で発生する端材等の有効な活用方法を提供することにもつながる。 The porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) may be produced for deodorizing palm coconut seed husks, as long as it has the above characteristics. For example, a product manufactured for other purposes such as a water quality / bottom sediment purification material or a lightweight cellular concrete may be diverted. In the latter case, the treatment method of the present invention also leads to providing an effective utilization method of scraps and the like generated in the production of lightweight aerated concrete.
 パーム椰子種子殻の貯蔵空間内の雰囲気には、通常、一定量の水分が存在する。このため、工程(a)において、パーム椰子種子殻に多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合することで、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体が水に対してゆっくりと溶解し、かかる水を弱アルカリ性(pH8~10)に変化させる。この結果、パーム椰子種子殻から発生する臭気成分として上述したアルデヒド類やカルボン酸類等に対する化学的中和反応が生じ、不快臭が低減される。 A certain amount of water is usually present in the atmosphere inside the storage space of palm coconut seed husks. Therefore, in step (a), by mixing the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules with the palm coconut seed shell, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules are slowly dissolved in water. Then, the water is changed to weakly alkaline (pH 8 to 10). As a result, a chemical neutralization reaction with the above-mentioned aldehydes, carboxylic acids and the like as an odor component generated from palm coconut seed husks occurs, and an unpleasant odor is reduced.
 雰囲気内に載置された多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の細孔内には雰囲気由来の細孔水が常に存在し、また細孔以外の表面部にも雰囲気由来の吸着水が存在し、それらの水にケイ酸カルシウム水和物が常に溶解するため、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の表面はpH10前後の弱アルカリ性を保持している。従って、工程(a)で用いられる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、実施に際して特段の前処理を必要としない。しかしながら、上記の化学的中和反応を更に効果的に生じさせるために、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体に対して予め水濡れさせて含水率を高めた状態にして工程(a)で利用されるものとしても構わない。 Pore water derived from the atmosphere is always present in the pores of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules placed in the atmosphere, and adsorbed water derived from the atmosphere is also present on the surface other than the pores. Since it is present and calcium silicate hydrate is always dissolved in those waters, the surface of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules retains weak alkalinity at around pH 10. Therefore, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) does not require any special pretreatment for implementation. However, in order to more effectively cause the above-mentioned chemical neutralization reaction, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is previously wetted with water to increase the water content in the step (a). It does not matter if it is used in.
 このように、工程(a)で利用される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率が高い場合、高アルカリ環境下でパーム椰子種子殻から揮散するアンモニアが、かかる水分中に溶解するため、不快臭として感得されるアンモニアを低減する効果も得られる。 As described above, when the water content of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) is high, the ammonia volatilized from the palm coconut seed shell in a highly alkaline environment dissolves in the water. Therefore, the effect of reducing ammonia perceived as an unpleasant odor can also be obtained.
 多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率を高める方法としては、特に制限はなく、散水や、水に浸漬するなどの常用の方法を用いればよい。ただし、過剰な含水率は、かかる水のアルカリ度を迅速に高めることが困難であるとともに、パーム椰子種子殻の腐敗を促進させてしまう場合もあるため、含水率は60質量%以下とするのが好ましく、より好ましくは30質量%以上、50質量%以下である。ここで、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率の測定方法は、例えば、JIS A 1125「骨材の含水率試験方法及び含水率に基づく表面水率の試験方法」記載の試験方法、すなわち105±5℃の乾燥温度で恒量となった前後の多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の質量から求めることができる。 The method for increasing the water content of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is not particularly limited, and a usual method such as sprinkling water or immersing in water may be used. However, the excessive water content makes it difficult to quickly increase the alkalinity of the water and may promote the decay of palm coconut seed husks. Therefore, the water content should be 60% by mass or less. Is preferable, and more preferably 30% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less. Here, the method for measuring the water content of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is, for example, the test described in JIS A1125 “Aggregate water content test method and surface water content test method based on water content”. It can be obtained from the method, that is, the mass of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material before and after becoming constant at a drying temperature of 105 ± 5 ° C.
 パーム椰子種子殻と多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合する方法は、両者が良好に混合できる方法であれば特に制限はない。例えば、粉粒体の混合装置を用いた混合、重機による混合、ベルトコンベア等の搬送装置での混載など、粉粒体の混合における常用の方法を利用することができる。 The method of mixing the palm coconut seed husk and the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material is not particularly limited as long as both can be mixed well. For example, a common method for mixing powders and granules can be used, such as mixing using a powder or granular material mixing device, mixing with a heavy machine, or mixing with a transport device such as a belt conveyor.
 パーム椰子種子殻に対して工程(a)に係る混合処理を行うタイミング(時期)は、パーム椰子種子殻が生成されてから、貯蔵され、搬送される迄の間のうちで、時期が限定されるものではない。しかし、不快臭の発生が低度の時期ほど実施するのが好ましいという観点からは、搾油されて生成された直後のパーム椰子種子殻に対して、工程(a)に係る混合処理を実行するのが好ましい。すなわち、工程(a)に係る混合処理は、パーム椰子種子殻の供給地で行われることが、最も好ましい。 The timing (timing) of performing the mixing treatment according to the step (a) on the palm coconut seed husks is limited from the time when the palm coconut seed husks are produced to the time when they are stored and transported. It's not something. However, from the viewpoint that it is preferable to carry out the process when the generation of unpleasant odor is low, the mixing treatment according to the step (a) is carried out on the palm coconut seed husks immediately after being squeezed and produced. Is preferable. That is, it is most preferable that the mixing treatment according to the step (a) is performed at the palm coconut seed husk supply area.
 工程(a)に係る混合処理で利用される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の量(混合量)は、混合処理後に得られるパーム椰子種子殻と多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の混合物100質量部に対し、2質量部~50質量部であるのが好ましく、5質量部~50質量部であるのがより好ましく、5質量部~25質量部であるのが特に好ましい。 The amount (mixing amount) of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder granules used in the mixing treatment according to the step (a) is the palm coconut seed husk and the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder obtained after the mixing treatment. It is preferably 2 parts by mass to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 5 parts by mass to 50 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 5 parts by mass to 25 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the mixture of granules. ..
 工程(a)で利用される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の量が、混合物100質量部に対して2質量部未満である場合には、不快臭を低下させる効果が充分に得られない可能性がある。一方、工程(a)で利用される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の量が、混合物100質量部に対して50質量部を超える場合には、混合物に占めるパーム椰子種子殻の割合が少ないという問題が生じる可能性がある。 When the amount of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) is less than 2 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the mixture, the effect of reducing the unpleasant odor is sufficiently obtained. It may not be possible. On the other hand, when the amount of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the step (a) exceeds 50 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the mixture, the ratio of palm coconut seed husks to the mixture. May cause the problem of low levels.
 なお、混合処理において利用される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体が上述した事前の含水処理が施されている場合、混合処理で利用される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の量には、上記の含水処理による水分量を含むものとして構わない。 When the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the mixing treatment is subjected to the above-mentioned prior water-containing treatment, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material used in the mixing treatment is applied. The amount of water may include the amount of water due to the above water content treatment.
 多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体が混合されたパーム椰子種子殻は、そのまま燃料として用いることも可能であるが、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を含有することによって燃料としての特性が変化することが予想される。また、混合後に残留する多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、依然として、消臭効果を継続して有しているので再利用することが可能である。これらの観点から、工程(a)を実行後、燃料として使用する前段階において、パーム椰子種子殻と多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の混合物から、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を分離、回収するのが好ましい。 Palm coconut seed husks mixed with porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules can be used as fuel as they are, but by containing porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules, they can be used as fuel. It is expected that the characteristics of will change. Further, the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material remaining after mixing still has a deodorizing effect and can be reused. From these points of view, after performing step (a), in the pre-stage of use as fuel, from a mixture of palm coconut seed husk and porous calcium silicate hydrate powder granules, porous calcium silicate hydrate powder It is preferable to separate and recover the granules.
 混合物から多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を回収するに際しては、例えば目開きが6mm~9mmの篩を用い、この篩を通過した多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を回収することができる。また、かかる篩通過分に混入しているパーム椰子種子殻由来のファイバーなどは、当該篩通過分を風力選別することで、分離回収が可能である。この回収された多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、再び工程(a)に係る混合処理に利用されるものとしても構わない。 When recovering the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material from the mixture, for example, a sieve having a mesh size of 6 mm to 9 mm is used, and the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material that has passed through this sieve is recovered. be able to. In addition, fibers derived from palm coconut seed husks mixed in the sieve-passed portion can be separated and recovered by wind-sorting the sieve-passed portion. The recovered porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material may be used again for the mixing treatment according to the step (a).
 なお、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体は、ボイラー等でパーム椰子種子殻と共に燃焼された場合、脱硫剤として硫黄酸化物を固定する能力を有している。このため、工程(a)が完了後、残存する多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の全てを除去することなく、一部の多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を意図的に残したまま燃料として利用しても構わない。 The porous calcium silicate hydrate powder granules have the ability to fix sulfur oxides as a desulfurizing agent when burned together with palm coconut seed husks in a boiler or the like. Therefore, after the step (a) is completed, some of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powders and granules are intentionally removed without removing all of the remaining porous calcium silicate hydrate powders and granules. You may use it as fuel while leaving it.

Was measured with a detector tube (carboxylic acid: 81L manufactured by Gastec Co., Ltd., ammonia: 105SE manufactured by Komei Rikagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd.).
 なお、前記の測定は、広口瓶に試料を封入してから1日後、4日後、7日後、10日後の各日に行われた。 The above measurement was performed on each day 1 day, 4 days, 7 days, and 10 days after the sample was sealed in the wide-mouthed bottle.
 《2》多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率の算出

 水準1は、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体をパーム椰子種子殻に混合しなかった場合であり、比較例に対応する。 Level 1 is the case where the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder and granules are not mixed with the palm coconut seed husk, which corresponds to a comparative example.
 水準2は、2倍量の水と練り混ぜて得られた消石灰粉粒体をパーム椰子種子殻に混合した場合であり、比較例に対応する。 Level 2 is a case where slaked lime powder granules obtained by kneading with twice the amount of water are mixed with palm coconut seed husks, which corresponds to a comparative example.
 水準3~5は、含水率を0質量%とした多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を、それぞれ混合量を異ならせた状態でパーム椰子種子殻に対して混合した場合に対応する。また、水準5~7は、それぞれ含水率の異なる多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を、混合量を一定にした状態でパーム椰子種子殻に混合した場合に対応する。これらの水準3~7が実施例に対応する。なお、水準5~7において、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率は、混合前に所定量の水を散布することで調整された。 Levels 3 to 5 correspond to the case where porous calcium silicate hydrate powders and granules having a water content of 0% by mass are mixed with palm coconut seed husks in different mixing amounts. Levels 5 to 7 correspond to the case where porous calcium silicate hydrate powders and granules having different water contents are mixed with palm coconut seed husks in a state where the mixing amount is constant. These levels 3-7 correspond to the examples. At levels 5 to 7, the water content of the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder granules was adjusted by spraying a predetermined amount of water before mixing.
 表1に示された、各水準1~7について、臭いの評価を実施した結果を表2に示す。なお表2において、「>10」なる記載は、数値が10より大きかったことを意味しており、「<0.5」なる記載は、数値が0.5未満であったことを意味しており、「-」なる記載は、測定されていないことを意味している。 Table 2 shows the results of odor evaluation for each level 1 to 7 shown in Table 1. In Table 2, the description "> 10" means that the numerical value was larger than 10, and the description "<0.5" means that the numerical value was less than 0.5. The description "-" means that it has not been measured.

 表2によれば、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合しなかった水準1においては、日数が経過してもなお、高い臭気が示されていることが分かる。また、アンモニア検知管では検知できなかった一方で、カルボン酸検知管では高い数値が確認されていることから、この臭気の原因の一つがパーム椰子種子殻由来のカルボン酸であることが分かる。 According to Table 2, it can be seen that at level 1 in which the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material was not mixed, a high odor was still exhibited even after the lapse of days. In addition, while the ammonia detector tube could not detect it, a high value was confirmed in the carboxylic acid detector tube, indicating that one of the causes of this odor is the carboxylic acid derived from palm coconut seed husks.
 pHが12を超える水準2においては、カルボン酸の臭気は充分に抑制できているが、日数が経過してもなお、多量のアンモニアが生じていたことが分かる。このことから、過剰なアルカリ環境では、不快臭の発生を抑制できないことが分かる。 At level 2 where the pH exceeds 12, the odor of the carboxylic acid can be sufficiently suppressed, but it can be seen that a large amount of ammonia was still generated even after the lapse of days. From this, it can be seen that the generation of unpleasant odor cannot be suppressed in an excessive alkaline environment.
 一方、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合した水準3~7によれば、いずれも水準1と比べて、においセンサーの指示値、カルボン酸検知管の検知値が低いことが分かる。また、水準3~7によれば、水準2と比べて、アンモニア検知管の検知値が低いことが分かる。つまり、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体を混合することで、アルカリによるアンモニアの揮散はほとんど生じない状態において、不快臭の主要成分であるカルボン酸の揮散を充分に抑制できることが分かる。 On the other hand, according to Levels 3 to 7 in which porous calcium silicate hydrate powders and granules are mixed, it can be seen that the indicated values of the odor sensor and the detected values of the carboxylic acid detector tube are lower than those of Level 1. .. Further, according to the levels 3 to 7, it can be seen that the detection value of the ammonia detector tube is lower than that of the level 2. That is, it can be seen that by mixing the porous calcium silicate hydrate powder or granular material, the volatilization of carboxylic acid, which is a main component of an unpleasant odor, can be sufficiently suppressed in a state where the volatilization of ammonia by alkali hardly occurs.
 なお、混合される多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率を異ならせた水準5~7に関して、表2によれば、含水率の高い水準7、水準6、水準5の順に、カルボン酸検知管の検知値が低下していることが分かる。これにより、多孔質ケイ酸カルシウム水和物粉粒体の含水率が50質量%以下の範囲内においては、含水率を高めるほど、不快臭の主要成分であるカルボン酸の揮散を抑制する効果が高められることが分かる。
 
Regarding levels 5 to 7 in which the water contents of the mixed porous calcium silicate hydrate powders and granules were different, according to Table 2, the water contents were higher in the order of level 7, level 6, and level 5. It can be seen that the detection value of the carboxylic acid detector tube is decreasing. As a result, when the water content of the porous calcium silicate powder or granular material is within the range of 50% by mass or less, the higher the water content, the more effective the effect of suppressing the volatilization of carboxylic acid, which is the main component of the unpleasant odor. You can see that it can be enhanced.
