Energy and exergy optimization of food waste pretreatment and incineration

With the aim of upgrading current food waste (FW) management strategy, a novel FW hydrothermal pretreatment and air-drying incineration system is proposed and optimized from an energy and exergy perspective. Parameters considered include the extracted steam quality, the final moisture content of dehydrated FW, and the reactor thermal efficiency. Results show that optimal working condition can be obtained when the temperature and pressure of extracted steam are 159 °C and 0.17 MPa, the final moisture content of dehydrated FW is 10%, and the reactor thermal efficiency is 90%. Under such circumstance, the optimal steam energy and exergy increments reach 194.92 and 324.50 kJ/kg-FW, respectively. The novel system is then applied under the local conditions of Hangzhou, China. Results show that approximately 2.7 or 11.6% (from energy or exergy analysis perspective) of electricity can be additionally generated from 1 ton of MSW if the proposed novel FW system is implemented. Besides, comparisons between energy and exergy analysis are also discussed.

     

响应面法优化光催化/臭氧氧化深度处理炼油废水

利用响应面方法(RSM)对光催化/臭氧氧化深度处理炼油废水工艺进行优化,考察了臭氧通量、光催化剂投加量、初始pH和反应时间对于处理效果的影响,提出采用该工艺的数学模型及优化后的工艺参数。结果表明,各影响因子对COD去除率影响顺序为反应时间>光催化剂投加量>初始pH>臭氧通量,方程的F值为11.54,相关系数为0.9537,调整相关系数为0.915,说明数学模型可以较好地模拟真实的反应曲面。优化得到最佳的工艺参数:臭氧通量1.05 L/min、光催化剂投加量0.33 g/L、初始pH 7.51、反应时间96.95 min,在该条件下,对COD去除率为97.88%,与预测值99.49%接近。采用95%处理水和5%新鲜水混合,水质达到了循环冷凝水的补充水水质指标要求。
