DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] This disclosure uses landfill waste—household refuse in landfill fields as main raw materials to produce environmentally friendly products which may reduce the emission of methane gas in landfill fields, and converts household refuse to a material capable of adsorbing and degrading methane gas. The preparation method of this disclosure comprises the techniques, such as a biological pretreatment technique, a mechanical sorting pretreatment technique, an aerobic biological stabilizing technique, and landfill field methane gas oxide layer materials, or the like.

[0025] The biological pretreatment technique described above means that the household refuse is subjected to biological pretreatment after initial cracking. The household refuse is firstly treated by a bag-breaking machine and a cracking machine, and large-piece refuse separation and conveying is performed with a reciprocating unidirectional bar screen.

[0026] According to specification requirements for raw materials of products, the reciprocating unidirectional bar screen described above has a bar pitch set to be 350 mm, a reciprocating amplitude of ±250 mm, and a frequency of 8-10 times/min.

[0027] The separation and conveying described above means that the refuse with diameters greater than 300 mm after sorting is manually sorted to obtain useful substances, and the remnants, which are substantially inert substances, may be delivered to a landfill field for treatment. Materials smaller than 300 mm are passed into a working section of aerobic biological pretreatment.

[0028] The total period of the working section of the aerobic biological pretreatment described above is 12 d. In the first 5 d, ventilation is performed for 10 min for 6 times per day; in the following 5 d, the stacking temperature may be up to 60° C. or more, and ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 40 min; and in the last 2 d of the treatment, ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 30 min, while turning and throwing are performed 1-2 times per week. Weight reduction, dehydration, and conveying of materials are achieved by using a dynamic windrow type biological fermentation process which combines negative-pressure ventilation and oxygen supplying with turning and throwing.

[0029] In the aerobic biological pretreatment described above, the stacking height for fermentation is 1.5-2.2 m, the initial water content rate of the materials is typically 55-65%, the wind amount is 0.15-0.25 m.sup.3/min.Math.m.sup.3, the wind pressure is 3,600-4,200 Pa, and the layer pressing is ensured at a layer stacking of 1,200-1,500 Pa/m. This process may well improve the properties of the materials, and may reduce the water content rate of the materials, the viscosity, and twisting degree between materials. The object thereof is to improve the efficiency of mechanical sorting.

[0030] In the mechanical sorting pretreatment technique, the sieve pores of a drum screen employ a larger and a smaller pore size specifications according to specification requirements for raw materials for production. Here, the smaller pore size is 30-40 mm, the larger pore size is 180-220 mm, the drum has a feed port with a height of 3.0-3.3 m and a discharge port with a height of 1.8-2.0 m, and the rotational speed is about 15-20 r/min (particular parameters may be finely tuned according to practical situations).

[0031] A cutting knife is provided in the drum screen described above, and according to particle sizes, the refuse may be divided by the drum screen into three groups, which have a particle size less than Φ40 mm, a particle size of Φ40-200 mm, and a particle size greater than Φ200 mm (descriptions are made by exemplifying a smaller pore size of 40 mm and a larger pore size of 200 mm below).

[0032] The refuse having a particle size less than Φ40 mm described above may be directly delivered to a subsequent working section of biological stabilizing treatment.

[0033] After the utilizable components, such as plastic, metal, paper, etc., are recovered by manual sorting or other sorting apparatuses, such as blowing sorting, magnetic sorting, etc., and it is ensured that the materials in this specification are substantially fermentable organic materials, the materials having a particle size of Φ40-200 mm described above which pass through the drum screen are delivered to the working section of biological stabilizing treatment and are mixed with the materials having a particle size less than Φ40 mm, and fermentation is performed.

[0034] The refuse having a particle size greater than Φ200 mm described above, which passes through the drum screen, is pulverized, and is then returned to the drum screen for sorting. After sorting, this cycle is performed according to particle sizes to ensure an optimal effect of sorting and obtain raw materials for production reaching to the standard, and at the meanwhile, the maximization of the sorting efficiency of recoverable substances is achieved.

[0035] The materials after the mechanical sorting are subjected to a process of a third section: the biological stabilizing treatment. The biological stabilizing treatment employs a tank-type reactor as a fermentation cabin and employs a manner of batch air-blowing type oxygen supply. Since the biochemical oxygen demand is reduced after the materials are subjected to biological pretreatment, the ventilation amount is further reduced such that the wind amount is 0.15-0.20 m.sup.3/min.Math.m.sup.3, the wind pressure is 3,600 Pa, and the layer stacking is 1,200 Pa/m.

[0036] In the biological stabilizing treatment described above, the frequencies of ventilation are as follows: ventilation is performed 6 times per day in a temperature increasing period and 10 min for each time; ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 40 min in a high temperature period; and ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 30 min in a temperature decreasing period.

[0037] The period of the biological stabilizing treatment described above is about 30-36 days.

[0038] The materials after the biological stabilizing treatment are subjected to a process of a fourth section: the production of the oxide layer material for methane gas from landfill field. That is, in a typical oxide layer material for methane gas, the materials prepared in this disclosure after the biological stabilizing treatment is added at 0.3-0.8% (mass fraction on a wet basis), and at the meanwhile, copper chloride, potassium sulfate, magnesium oxide, and a composite bacterial agent for oxidizing methane gas are added proportionally. They are uniformly mixed to be used as an overlaying material for refuse dumps. It is also possible to proportionally add copper chloride, potassium sulfate, magnesium oxide, and a composite bacterial agent for oxidizing methane gas to the materials subjected to the biological stabilizing treatment and then to mix it with a typical oxide layer material for methane gas.

[0039] In the composite bacterial agent for oxidizing methane gas described above, the main strains include: MIp1 (Methylomonas), MIp2 (Methylococcus), MIIO1 (Methylocys-taceae), and MIIO2 (Methylocys-taceae).

[0040] In the composite bacterial agent for oxidizing methane gas described above, the optimal proportion and the inoculation amount are MIp1:MIp2:MIIO1:MIIO2=1-2:2-3:2-3:1-2 by volume ratio; and the inoculation amount is 0.1-0.8% (mass fraction on a wet basis).

[0041] The additives for the oxide layer material for methane gas are copper chloride, potassium sulfate, and magnesium oxide, and the addition proportions are respectively, copper chloride: 3-6 mg per kg of culture medium; potassium sulfate: 0.01-0.06 g per kg of culture medium; and magnesium oxide: 0.01-0.02 g per kg of culture medium.

[0042] The optimal embodiments of this disclosure are set forth below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.

[0043] In conjunction with FIG. 1, it is a process flow chart of this disclosure. 700 kg of household refuse, which is used as a raw material, is firstly treated by a bag-breaking machine and a cracking machine, and large-piece refuse separation and conveying is performed with a reciprocating unidirectional bar screen (the reciprocating unidirectional bar screen described above has a bar pitch set to be 350 mm, a reciprocating amplitude of ±250 mm, and a frequency of 10 times/min). Refuse with diameters greater than 300 mm after sorting is manually sorted to obtain useful substances, and the remnants, which are substantially inert substances, may be delivered to a landfill field for treatment. Materials smaller than 300 mm are passed into a working section of aerobic biological pretreatment. The total period of the working section of aerobic biological pretreatment is 12 d. In the first 5 d, ventilation is performed for 10 min for 6 times per day; in the following 5 d, the stacking temperature may be up to 60° C. or more, and ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 40 min; and in the last 2 d of the treatment, ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 30 min, while turning and throwing are performed twice per week. Meanwhile, during the aerobic biological pretreatment, the stacking height for fermentation is 2 m, the initial water content rate of the materials is typically 55-65%, and the wind amount is 0.20 m.sup.3/min.Math.m.sup.3, the wind pressure is 4,000 Pa. The refuse after aerobic biological pretreatment is passed through a drum screen for mechanical sorting. Sieve pores of the drum screen employ a larger and a smaller pore size specifications, wherein the smaller pore is 35 mm, the larger pore is 200 mm, the drum has a feed port with a height of 3.0 m and a discharge port with a height of 2.0 m, and the rotational speed is about 20 r/min. The refuse which passes through the drum screen may be divided by a cutting knife provided in the drum screen into three groups, which have a particle size less than Φ40 mm, a particle size of Φ40-200 mm, and a particle size greater than Φ200 mm. The refuse having a particle size less than Φ40 mm is directly subjected to a subsequent working section of biological stabilizing treatment. After the utilizable components, such as plastic, metal, paper, etc., are recovered by manual sorting or other sorting apparatuses, such as blowing sorting, magnetic sorting, etc., and it is ensured that the materials in this specification are substantially fermentable organic materials, the materials having a particle size of Φ40-200 mm which pass through the drum screen are delivered to the working section of biological stabilizing treatment and are mixed with the materials having a particle size less than Φ40 mm, and fermentation is performed. The refuse having a particle size greater than Φ200 mm, which passes through the drum screen, is pulverized, and is then returned to the drum screen for sorting. After sorting, this cycle is performed according to particle sizes. The materials after mechanical sorting are passed to a biological stabilizing treatment. The biological stabilizing treatment employs a tank-type reactor as a fermentation cabin and employs a manner of batch air-blowing type oxygen supply. The ventilation amount is 0.20 m.sup.3/min.Math.m.sup.3, the wind pressure is 3,600 Pa, and the layer stacking is 1,200 Pa/m. The frequencies of ventilation are as follows: ventilation is performed 6 times per day in a temperature increasing period and 10 min for each time; ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 40 min in a high temperature period; and ventilation is performed for 15 min and is stopped for 30 min in a temperature decreasing period. Biological stabilizing treatment has a period of 30 d. The materials after biological stabilizing treatment at 0.5% (mass fraction on a wet basis) are added to an oxide layer material for methane gas. At the meanwhile, a composite bacterial agent for oxidizing methane gas of MIp1 (Methylomonas), MIp2 (Methylococcus), MIIO1 (Methylocys-taceae), and MIIO2 (Methylocys-taceae) is added, wherein the volume ratio is 2:2:2:1 and the inoculation amount is 0.5% (mass fraction on a wet basis). At the meanwhile, copper chloride, potassium sulfate, and magnesium oxide are added to enhance the degradation effect of mutagenized engineering bacteria and prevent functional deterioration, such that the proportions of trace elements in materials are improved. the addition proportions are copper chloride: 5 mg/kg per kg of culture medium; potassium sulfate: 0.05 g per kg of the total materials; and magnesium oxide: 0.02 g per kg of the total materials.

[0044] The overlaying material produced by fully and uniformly mixing provides a high-efficiency biological oxidation to methane, which may achieve a methane oxidation rate of up to 64.5-78.74% in 6 d and substantially near to 100% in 18 d. As can be seen, this disclosure can remarkably adsorb and degrade methane gas.
