Problems solved by technology

Such a pretreatment process requires high temperature and high pressure conditions, which consumes a lot of energy. At the same time, the use of acid in the pretreatment process puts forward higher requirements on the equipment and may cause secondary pollution; on the other hand, according to theoretical calculations, the fermentation of fiber raw materials The energy recovery rate of hydrogen is only about 30%, and the remaining energy remains in the fermentation broth in the form of volatile acids and small molecule alcohols. The utilization rate of raw materials is low, causing pollution to the environment
The above problems have become an important technical obstacle for the fermentation of hydrogen from fiber raw materials

Abstract

The invention provides a method for producing hydrogen and / or methane through fermentation of fiber wastes and a device thereof. The method comprises the following steps: smashing a straw into a certain grain diameter, placing into a hydrogen production reactor, adding a given amount of water and nutrient solution and then mixing with thermophile bacteria seed liquid together for fermentation to prepare the hydrogen; pumping hydrogen fermentation liquid into a liquid storage tank, continuously pumping into the hydrogen production reactor for fermentation to prepare the methane after pH is adjusted. Because of adopting fiber wastes, raw materials used by the invention have rich resource and low cost, effectively solve the resource problem of biological hydrogen production and overcome the problem that the fiber raw materials of the traditional straw are hard to effectively produce the hydrogen when being not subjected to pretreatment; and the semi-continuous hydrogen production is achieved through the fiber waste dynamic immobilization technology. The invention is easier to popularize and apply by adopting a coupled continuous methane production system and has the advantages of simple and highly-efficient method, energy conservation, low cost and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of renewable energy, and relates to a method and a device for preparing hydrogen and / or methane by using fiber waste. Background technique [0002] The energy and environmental crisis has made the development of renewable energy a hot spot, and the biogas (hydrogen, methane) regenerated from biomass has become more and more important as an alternative energy source. Biogas is a combustible biogas, which is obtained by decomposing organic substances such as crop straw, tree branches and leaves, human and animal manure, domestic garbage, industrial and agricultural organic waste and wastewater under the action of microorganisms. Its main components are methane and carbon dioxide. , of which methane accounts for about 50%-80%. Biogas can be burned to generate a large amount of heat, thus becoming a natural energy source. The calorific value of methane is 40MJ / M 3 , the calorific value of biogas is 20-32MJ / M ...
