The invention discloses a method and a device for pretreating excess
sludge of a
sewage plant by a
microwave method for
fermentation to produce
hydrogen. The method comprises the following steps:
microwave is utilized to pretreat the excess
sludge of the
sewage plant for 2 to 20 minutes, then the
sludge pretreated by the
microwave is placed into a sealed
fermentation hydrogen production reactor,
hydrogen production seed sludge which accounts for 5 to 15 percent of the volume of the excess sludge is grafted, the temperature is controlled to between 25 and 45 DEG C for
fermentation hydrogen production, and hydrogen is produced after 8 to 15 hours. The device comprises a microwave generator, the fermentation
hydrogen production reactor and a hydrogen collection device, wherein the top of the fermentation
hydrogen production reactor is provided with a hydrogen outlet, while the bottom is provided with a sludge inlet and a sludge
discharge outlet; the microwave generator is connected with the sludge inlet of the fermentation hydrogen production reactor; the hydrogen collection device is connected with the hydrogen outlet of the fermentation hydrogen production reactor; and the fermentation hydrogen production reactor is provided with a stirrer and a heater. The method has the advantages that the method has large
hydrogen yield and short
delay time, can improve the biological redegradation capability of the sludge, can release
heavy metals in the sludge, reduce the
pollution of landfill treatment to soil, and has simple equipment, low cost and less
energy consumption.
