Method for reducing concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in sludge hydrothermal liquefaction bio-oil
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation of biological oil, and particularly relates to a method for reducing concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in sludge hydrothermal liquefaction biological oil.
Background
Sludge is an inevitable by-product produced during sewage treatment. By the end of 2017, the total amount of sludge produced in China in the whole country is over 4000 million tons and shows a trend of increasing year by year, and the sludge yield in China in the whole country is expected to reach 6000 million tons by 2020. Sludge, called "biosolids" by the world's aquatic environment organization, is very complex in composition, typically including organic matter (lipids, sugars, proteins, cellulose, etc.), heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Cu, etc.), pathogens, and inorganic minerals (CaO, SiO)2Etc.) and the like; but the sludge contains a large amount of organic matters (50-80 percent) and has extremely high resource utilization value.
At present, the thermochemical treatment of sludge is widely accepted as an efficient stabilization, reduction, harmless and recycling treatment mode, the thermochemical treatment can effectively solve the problems brought by the traditional sludge treatment mode, and organic matters in the sludge are recycled to form available energy.
The subcritical water technology is gradually concerned by the field of bio-oil preparation by sludge hydrothermal liquefaction due to the characteristics of greenness, no pollution, relatively easy control of operation, relatively low cost and the like. The subcritical water is water which is between 100 ℃ and 374 ℃ and still keeps liquid under the condition of external pressure. Under subcritical conditions, the concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions is increased, so that water can be used as a solvent, can also be in the form of an acid/base catalyst or can be used as a reactant to participate in chemical reaction, and the chemical reaction rate is increased due to the action of high temperature and high pressure.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are common components in sludge hydrothermal liquefaction biological oil, are usually colorless solids (a small amount of crystals are light yellow and deep yellow) at normal temperature, are mostly insoluble in water, have strong carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects (for organisms), and also have a bioaccumulation effect. Therefore, the high content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in the sludge hydrothermal liquefaction bio-oil limits the application of the sludge hydrothermal liquefaction bio-oil in the later period.
The microwave heating technology has the advantages of uniform heating, high thermal efficiency and capability of selectively heating organic matters. Compared with the traditional method, the method has the advantages that the content of nitrogen-containing compounds in the oil generated by microwave sludge pyrolysis is much less, and the quality of the biological oil can be further improved.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a technique to reduce the concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the sludge-liquefied bio-oil so as to obtain high-quality bio-oil and realize the real energy utilization of sludge.
