Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 2023115725582 filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Nov. 23, 2023 and entitled with “METHOD FOR CATALYTIC DEGRADATION OF ORGANIC WASTE”, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of the degradation of organic wastes, and in particular to a method for catalytic degradation of an organic waste.


BACKGROUND

Currently, there are problems with the disposal of rural household wastes due to incomplete infrastructure construction and high investment costs. Although a three-level disposal mode of “village collection, township transfer, and county treatment” has been established, the existing waste collection and treatment mode has the following disadvantages: From the perspective of an economic cost, the large rural area and scattered waste distribution cause problems such as long transportation distance, large land use for waste disposal, high collection and transportation costs, and high infrastructure construction costs. From the perspective of social and environmental impacts, the random dumping and stacking of household wastes and the inability to remove and transport them in time are very easy to cause secondary pollution to surrounding environments including water, soil, and air. In addition, the breeding of mosquitoes and flies and stench also seriously affects the rural living environment and lays troubles for the health of villagers. From the perspective of disposal technologies, 5t/d waste incineration facilities are constructed, but cannot operate normally due to high waste transportation and collection costs and small waste production. The landfill mode takes up a lot of land resources and involves high costs for leakage prevention and leachate treatment. China supports landfill disposal after minimization, so direct landfill of household waste is no longer suitable for China's current social development.


Therefore, it has become an urgent problem to be solved in the art to provide a method for catalytic degradation of an organic waste, which can realize the on-site disposal of organic wastes in daily life without causing other pollutions.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a heating mode for the catalytic degradation is light wave irradiation. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the light wave irradiation is conducted with a wavelength of 170 nm to 180 nm and an intensity of 60 mW/m2 to 70 mW/m2, and preferably 65 mW/m2. In the present disclosure, the light wave irradiation is stopped after reaching the temperature of the catalytic degradation under the light wave irradiation, and the light wave irradiation is automatically started after being lower than the temperature of the catalytic degradation. In the present disclosure, the heating is carried out by light wave irradiation. On the one hand, the magnetic thermally conductive catalyst can absorb the nanowaves emitted by light waves, and quickly transfer heat to the inside of the organic waste, thereby accelerating the catalytic degradation of the organic waste. On the other hand, it is convenient to keep the temperature of the catalytic degradation constant to ensure the continuous catalytic degradation, so that the organic waste can undergo full catalytic degradation. In addition, it is more environmentally friendly to provide a heat source by the light wave irradiation.


In the present disclosure, after the catalytically degraded gas, the catalytically degraded suspended particulate matter, and the catalytically degraded solid are obtained, the catalytically degraded gas and the catalytically degraded suspended particulate matter are purified, then discharged, and the catalytically degraded solid is subjected to magnetic separation to obtain an ash and a recovered magnetic thermally conductive catalyst.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the catalytically degraded gas includes two or more selected from the group consisting of moisture, CO, CO2, NOx, SO2, HCl, and a tar gas.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, purifying the catalytically degraded gas includes: subjecting the catalytically degraded gas to washing spray, electric tar capture, and low-temperature plasma treatment successively. There are no special requirements for each operation of the purifying, and conventional operations in the art can be adopted to ensure that the catalytically degraded gas can be effectively purified to meet emission standards.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the catalytically degraded solid includes an ash and a magnetic thermally conductive catalyst.


There are no special requirements for the magnetic separation operation of the magnetic thermally conductive catalyst, and the magnetic separation well known to those skilled in the art may be adopted to realize the recovery of the magnetic thermally conductive catalyst.


The method for catalytic degradation of an organic waste provided by the present disclosure can quickly realize the catalytic degradation of an organic waste at a relatively-low temperature without producing harmful substances such as dioxins, and can also realize the on-site disposal of an organic waste in daily life. The method is simple, easy to implement, and cost-effective, and does not require the long-distance transportation of rural wastes to a specific waste disposal station in a city. Moreover, the magnetic thermally conductive catalyst can be recovered based on its magnetic characteristics, thereby realizing the recycling of the magnetic thermally conductive catalyst.

It can be seen from Table 1 that, when the method provided by the present disclosure is used for catalytic degradation of an organic waste, the ash ignition loss is in a range of 2.6% to 2.8%, and when the final product is discharged, the pollutant contents in the final products are as follows: suspended particulate matter: 18 mg/m3 to 25 mg/m3; NOx: 90 mg/m3 to 110 mg/m3; SO2: 30 mg/m3 to 50 mg/m3; HCl: less than or equal to 21 mg/m3; CO: 70 mg/m3 to 80 mg/m3; Hg and a compound thereof (a content of the compound is calculated in terms of Hg): 0.01 mg/m3 to 0.02 mg/m3; cadmium, thallium, and a compound thereof (a content of the compound is calculated in terms of Cd+Tl): 0.02 mg/m3 to 0.03 mg/m3; antimony, arsenic, lead, chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, and a compound thereof (a content of the compound is calculated in terms of Sb+As+Pb+Cr+Co+Cu+Mn+Ni): less than or equal to 0.2 mg/m3; and dioxin: 0.001 ngTEQ/m3 to 0.03 ngTEQ/m3. The pollutant contents in the catalytic degradation products all meet the emission standards in the “Standard for Pollution control on the Municipal Solid Waste Incineration” (GB 18485-2014).


In summary, the method for catalytic degradation of an organic waste provided by the present disclosure can quickly realize the catalytic degradation of an organic waste at a relatively-low temperature without producing harmful substances such as dioxins, and can also realize the on-site disposal of an organic waste in daily life. The method is simple, easy to implement, and cost-effective.


The above are merely the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that several improvements and modifications could be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the principle of the present disclosure, and these improvements and modifications should be deemed as falling within the scope of the present disclosure.
