Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for deodorizing sludge with a metal salt and a tannin extract together, deodorized sludge, and use thereof are provided. The present invention provides a sludge deodorization technology that has high treatment efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low investment costs, and satisfies harmless requirements of subsequent resource utilization such as incineration, pyrolysis, or carbonization. Characterized by containing abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, the tannin extract is used as a multidentate ligand to undergo a complexation reaction with metal ions, which reduces bioavailability of proteins and other macromolecules, and effectively inhibits production of low-volatile sulfides, thereby significantly deodorizing the sludge during standing and combustion. The whole deodorization process of the present invention is simple and feasible, is flexible in operation, requires no complex and harsh reaction conditions or expensive equipment, has low operating costs, and can be used as a supporting pretreatment technology for resource utilization of sludge.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for deodorizing sludge with a metal salt and a tannin extract together, comprising the following steps: in parts by weight, uniformly mixing 9320-9910 parts of to-be-deodorized sludge and 20-100 parts of a metal salt treatment solution, and adding a mixture of 50-500 parts of a tannin extract treatment solution and 20-80 parts of a pH adjuster, to obtain a sludge deodorization reaction system, wherein the metal salt treatment solution is an aqueous solution containing 0.5%-2.5% of one or more of ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, ferric nitrate, and ferrous ammonium sulfate, the tannin extract treatment solution is an aqueous solution containing 5%-50% of one or more of a Myrica rubra tannin extract, a larch tannin extract, a valonea tannin extract, a quebracho tannin extract, and a wattle tannin extract, and controlling a pH value of the sludge deodorization reaction system to be 6.2-7.5, and stirring the sludge deodorization reaction system at a speed of 15-120 r/min for 1-3 h, prior to standing for 12-48 h. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in percentage by mass, the pH adjuster is an aqueous solution containing 2%-8% of one or more of acetic acid, sulfamic acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, and oxalic acid. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reaction temperature for the sludge deodorization reaction system is controlled to be 25° C.-80° C. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the 9320-9910 parts of the to-be-deodorized sludge and the 20-100 parts of the metal salt treatment solution are uniformly mixed by stirring at a speed of 15-120 r/min for 1-3 h. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the to-be-deodorized sludge comprises domestic sewage sludge, industrial wastewater sludge, drain-pipe sludge, and/or water-sediment sludge. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the to-be-deodorized sludge comprises one or more of untreated primarily precipitated sludge, secondarily precipitated residual sludge, raw sludge obtained by mixing the untreated primarily precipitated sludge and the secondarily precipitated residual sludge, aerobically or anaerobically digested sludge, and dehydrated and dried sludge. 7. Deodorized sludge, wherein the deodorized sludge is obtained through treatment by using the method according to claim 1 . 8. Use A method of using the deodorized sludge according to claim 7 in a resource utilization process selected from the group consisting of incineration, pyrolysis, and carbonization. 9. The deodorized sludge according to claim 7 , wherein in the method, in percentage by mass, the pH adjuster is an aqueous solution containing 2%-8% of one or more of acetic acid, sulfamic acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, and oxalic acid. 10. The deodorized sludge according to claim 7 , wherein in the method, a reaction temperature for the sludge deodorization reaction system is controlled to be 25° C.-80° C. 11. The deodorized sludge according to claim 7 , wherein in the method, the 9320-9910 parts of the to-be-deodorized sludge and the 20-100 parts of the metal salt treatment solution are uniformly mixed by stirring at a speed of 15-120 r/min for 1-3 h. 12. The deodorized sludge according to claim 7 , wherein in the method, the to-be-deodorized sludge comprises domestic sewage sludge, industrial wastewater sludge, drain-pipe sludge, and/or water-sediment sludge. 13. The deodorized sludge according to claim 7 , wherein in the method, the to-be-deodorized sludge comprises one or more of untreated primarily precipitated sludge, secondarily precipitated residual sludge, raw sludge obtained by mixing the untreated primarily precipitated sludge and the secondarily precipitated residual sludge, aerobically or anaerobically digested sludge, and dehydrated and dried sludge.
