报告摘要:

Waste-to-Energy: Gasification is a favorable thermal-based process for recovering energy from biomass and solid wastes, which could eliminate pathogens and produce bioenergy in the form of synthesis gas under high temperatures (>700°C) with small amount of oxygen to avoid complete combustion. Our recent research has showed that gasification process is capable of treating and recovering energy from a diverse source of biomass and solid wastes, e.g. wood and horticultural waste, sewage sludge, food waste and animal manures. For instance, (i) chicken manure was successfully gasified in a downdraft fixed-bed gasifier producing syngas with a higher heating value of 4.9 MJ/(N.m3), (ii) redwood waste which can produce syngas with a higher heating value of 4.7 MJ/(N.m3), and (iii) sewage sludge which was successfully co-gasified with 80 wt.% woodchips producing syngas with a higher heating value of 4.5 MJ/(N.m3). However, gasification is not capable of treating watery wastes, such as food wastes. Therefore, we have integrated our gasification system with anaerobic digestion (AD) which can handle watery waste. First, energy in the form of bio-methane was harvested from food wastes via the AD process, and then the remaining solid (sludge) from AD process was gasified to produce additional energy in the form of syngas. This integration can significantly enhance the efficiency of recovering energy from food wastes. On the other hand, chemical process such as transesterification was used to recover energy in the form of biodiesel from waste oils. For example, transesterification of waste cooking oil with alcohol was carried out over the CaO catalyst developed from chicken manure waste and up to 90% of biodiesel (or FAME) was obtained.

Waste-to-Resource: our research also focuses on the conversion of solid and hazardous wastes into valuable resources. The reutilization of those wastes not only produces valuable products, but also offers a cost effective and environmental friendly way of recycling those wastes. For example: (i) wood ash – solid by-product from gasification of woody biomass – was successfully converted into the active “CaO catalyst” and effectively used as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production; (ii) biochar – another solid by-product from gasification process – was converted into “activated carbon” with the maximum adsorption capability of 189.8 mg sample/g dye and it can be effectively used as an adsorbent material for wastewater treatment; and (iii) coal fly ash and carbon soot were successfully converted into “zeolite” and “adsorbent material”, respectively.

报告摘要:

厌氧消化技术是实现有机固体废弃物能源化和资源化的有效方法之一。废弃物中的有机组分通过厌氧微生物的作用转换成甲烷气。我们的研究主要致力于发展可工程化应用的有机废物处理新技术及废物能源化和资源化系统,并研究其技术原理和系统优化机制。

在厌氧消化废物能源化技术方面:发展了多种强化厌氧消化产甲烷的技术和方法,提出了一种高效生物强化添加剂的使用方法(铁和生物炭材料),通过在厌氧消化反应器内投加零价铁、三价铁或炭材料,可以有效缓解厌氧体系有机酸积累和维持中性pH,强化了优势微生物的富集和功能基因的增长速率,加速了有机物产甲烷过程的电子传递速率,形成了一项可有效强化有机污染物降解和提升厌氧消化甲烷产量的实用技术。在厌氧消化设备的研发方面:开发了三阶厌氧消化反应器和铁强化微生物电催化厌氧消化等设备,有效增强了有机物的降解能力,提高了产甲烷菌的活性和产甲烷能力。餐厨垃圾厌氧消化能源化系统:将以上两项研究成果应用于餐厨垃圾厌氧消化能源化系统,通过集成厌氧消化系统、气体过滤系统、产能系统、热回收系统、电脑控制系统和安全系统,形成了一套餐厨垃圾厌氧消化能源化系统。该系统采用分散式的设计理念,最大程度的优化厌氧消化系统与热电联产系统,原位处理餐厨垃圾,高效回收过程废热,实现废物零排放及有效的能源化和资源化。
