The present invention is a multi-screw mixer with a diaphragm attached on both sides to a concentration that does not cause salt problems due to salt (NaCl) when composting or feeding organic waste containing salt such as food waste, livestock manure or food waste. Food waste is injected into the desalination chamber equipped with a screw mixer, DC electricity is applied from the rectifier to the anode and cathode installed outside the diaphragm to form an electric field in the desalting chamber, and the salt is extracted into the brine chamber by electrophoresis. It is related with the desalination apparatus to remove.

Methane gas generated by composting, feed, and anaerobic fermentation is made by recycling organic wastes containing salt such as food waste, livestock manure or food waste. Because of high concentration of salt (NaCl), plant growth disorder due to osmotic phenomenon and Na are replaced with Ca and Mg in soil, and the grain structure of soil is destroyed, resulting in a monolithic structure. It is impossible to compost organic waste containing salt such as food waste, livestock manure or food waste without removing salt because oxygen supply becomes difficult due to poor breathability and drainage, which impedes the growth of crops.

In addition, in the case of feeding organic wastes with high salt concentrations such as food waste into livestock, the salt concentration (2 to 6%) is much higher than the optimum level of salinity (0.3 to 1.0%) in feeds, ) As well as causing symptoms, water intake is increased due to thirst, which reduces digestive absorption efficiency l, slows down the growth rate, increases urine excretion, and increases the amount of wastewater generated. It should be removed and used as feed.

In the case of methane gas energy by anaerobic fermentation, methane gas generation efficiency is lowered because it impedes the growth of anaerobic microorganisms with low flame resistance, so it must also remove salt concentration as much as possible.

As a desalination apparatus for food waste, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0284282 removes the salts contained in food waste by a reaction mechanism by the following electrolysis.

_{^{ClO 3 - + 2H + + e}} - → ClO 2 (g) ↑ + H 2 O … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … (8)

When the salinity was removed from the food waste by the above-mentioned electrolysis reaction, the salinity removal rate was excellent, but there are the following problems.

First, when a direct current was applied while the anode chamber and the cathode chamber were separated into anion exchange membrane and cation exchange membrane, Cl ^- ions in the food waste pass through the anion exchange membrane and electrolytic oxidation water such as HClOx and Cl _{2 ( g)} is generated, and Na ⁺ ions in the food waste react with water (H ₂ O) as they pass through the cation exchange diaphragm to generate NaOH and hydrogen (H ₂ ).

In other words, NaCl contained in the food waste is separated into an anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange diaphragm into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber, so that NaCl is supplied to HClOx, HCl, Cl _{2 (g)} and NaOH, H ₂ O, etc. It decomposes when decomposed.

When removing 1kg-mole of NaCl contained in food waste by electrolysis as above, the current required to apply 1 Faraday (26.8KAh / kg-eq) should be applied.

Specifically, the current required theoretically to remove 58.5 kg of NaCl 1 kg gram water (kg-mol) by electrolysis should be applied at a current of 26,800 amperes, and the applied voltage is the theory of equation (3). Considering the decomposition voltage of 2.2246V, positive overvoltage, negative overvoltage, ohmic resistance of the solution, and ohmic resistance of the conductor, a power consumption of 3 to 100V should be applied. .

As described above, the desalination method by electrolysis has a disadvantage in that a large amount of power is consumed.

Second, in order to apply a high current, the facility cost is high because the area of the electrode plate, the area of the ion exchange membrane, the capacity of the rectifier and other devices are increased.

Third, when the applied voltage is increased to improve the desalination efficiency, side reactions of reaction formulas (5) to (8) occur in the anode chamber and gases such as Cl _{2 (g)} and ClO _{2 (g)} are generated. Odor may occur.

In the case of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0445641, in case of "desalting method of waste liquid or organic waste" by electrodialysis, it is clogged when it is supplied to desalination chamber in case of high solid concentration such as food waste. ) There is a problem that can not be applied to the phenomenon.

As a patent for solving the problem in the method of desalting salts of organic wastes having high salt concentration such as food waste, in the case of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-0423568, a diaphragm is installed outside the porous screw conveyor. A method of extracting salt by forming an electric field inside the conveying screw conveyor by applying a direct current from the rectifier while supplying and transporting food waste to the screw conveyor by installing a circular electrode outside the diaphragm. Although the distance between the electrodes is not fixed by installing a circular anode and a cathode, a uniform current density is not applied in the electrode plate, and an excessive current density is formed near the distance. Has caused problems of high odor and high power loss. .

In the case of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0336868, organic waste is removed by applying direct current electricity to the electrolyte in organic waste resources by removing harmful ions such as heavy metals and salts contained in organic waste resources such as food waste and sewage sludge. Among the ions contained in the resource, there is a method of collecting and discharging ions collected in a solution state in the positive electrode of the electrode and positive ions in the negative electrode of the electrode.

When 3 to 50 volts of direct current is applied from the rectifier to the anode 6 and the cathode 7 while supplying the waste, an electric field is formed in the desalination chamber 2, whereby cations such as Na ⁺ ions Passes through the diaphragm 4 on the negative electrode 7 side and moves to the salt extraction chamber 1, and anions such as Cl ⁻ ions pass through the diaphragm 4 on the positive electrode 6 side and the salt extraction chamber 1. The salts contained in the organic waste are desalted as it moves to.

The desalination mechanism (Mechanism) in the high salinity organic waste of the present invention will be described in detail.
