Therefore, no waste is discharged from the treatment plant 2 of the present embodiment, and the amount of waste discharged from the treatment plant 2 can be minimized.

Further, according to the processing plant 2 of the present embodiment, the effluent after decomposing the used paper diaper also produces liquid fertilizer (liquid fertilizer) from the liquid component, and produces solid fertilizer and biomass fuel from the solid component. Therefore, it is possible to realize an environment-friendly treatment plant without flowing the effluent discharged from the treatment plant 2 to the sewer.

Generally, there is a principle that general waste is treated in its own ward, and there are many areas where it is difficult to bring in and accept general waste to other municipalities for incineration and landfill treatment due to a system such as prior consultation. This refused to separate collection and recycling, and had to incinerate each municipality as combustible waste, so the amount of incineration did not decrease, the incinerator cost was reduced, and the incinerator was downsized.

According to the processing plant 2 of the present embodiment, by providing the processing plant 2 in the location municipality, the amount of incineration can be reduced, the incineration cost can be reduced, and the incinerator can be reduced. In other words, disposable diapers are used by most elderly people and infants, and since elderly people and infants exist in every region and are discharged stably every day, wide-area recycling is possible by installing facilities that can process large quantities. It becomes.

Further, according to the processing plant 2 of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the transportation cost and the impact on the environment related to the movement of the product because the product manufacturing and utilization can be carried out on the same site.

(1) When processing 280 kg of used disposable diapers Mass of calcium chloride
15.7 kg for 5 mmol
25.1 kg for 8 mmol
Calcium chloride concentration
In the case of 200 mmol / L 2.94% by mass (equivalent to 3% by mass)
In the case of 400 mmol / L 5.88% by mass (equivalent to 6% by mass)
Aqueduct of calcium chloride
In the case of 200 mmol / L 517 L (0.5 m ³ ) (theoretical water supply)
In the case of 400 mmol / L 401 L (0.4 m ³ ) (theoretical water supply)

(2) When processing 20 tons (20,000 kg) of used disposable diapers Mass of calcium chloride
For 5 mmoL 1,120 kg
For 8 mmoL 1,792 kg
The concentration of calcium chloride is the same as in (1).
Aqueduct of calcium chloride
In the case of 200 mmoL 36,943L (36.9m ³ ) (theoretical amount of water)
In the case of 400 mmoL 28,640L (28.6m ³ ) (theoretical amount of water)

(Differences between lime and calcium chloride)
The amount of chemicals used when treated with calcium chloride at a calcium ion content of 5 mmol to 8 mmol and when treated with lime (slaked lime) is the same for slaked lime, with a small amount of 76% to 48% of the amount of calcium chloride used. It means that the processing effect has been obtained.
In that case, the chemical concentration can be as low as 52% to 26%.
This is thought to be due to the fact that slaked lime exhibits strong alkalinity when it becomes an aqueous solution.
However, as for irrigation water, the theoretical amount of irrigation water when calcium chloride was used was smaller than that when slaked lime was used.
However, the figures published for the water-soluble treatment equipment using calcium chloride ^{are estimated because about 1,000 tons (m 3} ) of irrigation water (industrial water) is used for the daily treatment amount of 20 tons of used disposable diapers. It seems that much more water is needed than the theoretical amount of water used.
The material composition of paper diapers includes pulp and plastic materials in addition to polymers. In particular, pulp has high water absorption, so when it absorbs water, the interaction between the pulp fibers and the polymer causes a larger amount of water. It is thought that it is a large mass of water containing.
In such a state, in order to bring calcium into contact with the polymer in order to break the hydrogen bond between the hydrophilic group of the polymer and the water molecule, a shearing force is applied by vigorous stirring in a large volume of calcium chloride aqueous solution (water), and water is used. This is probably because it is necessary to make the whole flow.

In the above embodiment, the processing plant 2 for processing used disposable diapers, which is a used sanitary product as waste, has been described, but it is also applied as another waste, for example, as a processing plant for processing kitchen waste. be able to. In this case, a kitchen waste recycling system may be introduced into the processing plant. In this case as well, it is possible to decompose the kitchen waste to produce recycled resources such as liquid fertilizer, solid fertilizer, and solid fuel.

As described above, embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed, but it is clear that modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. All such modifications and equivalents are intended to be included in the claims.
