Provided are an agent for decreasing the fluidity of a solid-liquid mixture and a method, whereby it becomes possible to decrease the fluidity of a solid-liquid mixture within a short time and by a simple operation while preventing the increase in the volume of the solid-liquid mixture, regardless of the chemical composition of the solid-liquid mixture. The agent for decreasing the fluidity of a solid-liquid mixture according to the present invention is a granular material having a structure formed by entangled fibers. In one embodiment of the agent for decreasing the fluidity, the granular material has an average particle diameter of 300 µm or less and a specific surface area of 0.25 to 100 m2/g inclusive as measured by a BET method. In another embodiment of the agent for decreasing the fluidity, the granular material has a porosity of 50% or more as calculated in accordance with the formula: (1 - (bulk density)/(true density)) × 100 and a specific surface area of 0.25 to 100 m2/g inclusive as measured by a BET method. It is preferred that each of the fibers contains a hydrophilic polymer. The hydrophilic polymer is preferably cellulose. The solid-liquid mixture is preferably mud.

Provided is a thermal decomposition method that allows efficient thermal decomposition of an organic substance such as a plastic to produce gas and oil with high heating value and with which a large amount of the organic substance can be processed. The method includes mixing the organic substance with an organic substance decomposition catalyst, forming the mixture to produce a composite agglomerated material, and thermally decomposing the organic substance by placing the composite agglomerated material in a thermal decomposition furnace. The maximum catalytic effect can be obtained since the organic substance and the catalyst are close to each other in the composite agglomerated material. Since the catalyst has thermal conductivity higher than that of the organic substance, the temperature rising rate of the organic substance can be increased. As a result, the efficiency of thermal decomposition of the organic substance by the catalyst can be improved, and the rate of thermal decomposition of the organic substance can be effectively increased.

Process for elimination of nitrogen from biomass DIG0 and reuse thereof for energy purposes, comprising the following steps: A) alkaline conditioning of the biological starting material DIG0, adding calcium oxide (CaO) thereto and forming a first biomass DIG1 with pH>10 and free ammonia (NH 3 ) in gaseous form; B) stripping of the ammonia (NH 3 ) from said first DIG1 biomass resulting from step A) via injection of air, with generation of a second biomass DIG2, free from ammonia, with low nitrogen content and alkaline pH, and a gaseous fluid GAS1 containing air, ammonia (NH 3 ) and water vapour; C) introduction of the gaseous fluid GAS1 resulting from step B) into an internal combustion cogenerator, fuelled by biogas or other fuel, with use of the ammonia (NH 3 ) contained in the GAS1 for energy purposes, by means of combustion thereof together with the main fuel, and reduction of the nitrogen oxides present in the exhaust gases (GAS2) of the cogenerator by means of catalytic converters; D) purification, from nitrogen oxides, of the gaseous fluid GAS2 containing NOx, H 2 O, CO 2 and N 2 generated during step C) by means of: - injection of the gaseous fluid GAS2 into the said biomass DIG2 resulting from step B); - combination of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) of the gaseous fluid GAS2 with the alkaline mass of the biomass DIG2 with formation of calcium nitrite [Ca(NO 2 ) 2 ] and calcium nitrate [Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ] and simultaneous lowering of the pH of the biomass DIG2; - production of a gaseous fluid GAS3 devoid of NOx and a resultant biomass DIG3 with pH lower than the pH of DIG2.

In a single-tank activated sludge process or a multistage activated-sludge process using predation action of animalcules, an improvement in treatment efficiency and a decrease in the amount of excess sludge generation are achieved, while maintaining stable treated water qualities. In a biological treatment wherein organic wastewater is introduced to a first biological treatment tank 1A and is biologically treated with bacteria, the treatment liquid containing the bacteria in the first biological treatment tank 1A is introduced to a second biological treatment tank 1B and is activated-sludge treated, and the treatment liquid from the second biological treatment tank 1B is separated into sludge and treated water, a portion of the sludge in the second biological treatment tank 1B and/or at least a portion of the separated sludge is introduced into a sludge treatment tank 3 having a submerged filter element 4 with a pore diameter of 5 to 100 µm in the tank and is subjected to aerobic biological treatment, and the liquid permeated through the submerged filter element 4 is returned to the first biological treatment tank 1A and/or the second biological treatment tank 1B. Both high effect of reduction in the amount of sludge and satisfactory treated water qualities can be simultaneously achieved by reducing the amount of sludge with animalcules in the sludge treatment tank 3, allowing residual fine components to permeate through the submerged filter element 4, and, again, returning the fine components to the filter predation animalcule tank 1B for predation.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for studying the effect of heat, wind and other physical and/or biological factors on the loss of hydrocarbons from oily sludge wastes in a landfarming system. Preferably, the invention is a landfarming simulation testing apparatus and method that can be used to simulate real environmental conditions in a laboratory. The invention may be used to study the effect of physical factors such as, for example, temperature, wind, humidity, sunrays and/or acid rain. Also, the invention can be used to study the effect of biological factors such as, for example, oily sludge-degrading microorganisms. The apparatus is also useful for treatment of appropriate amounts of waste.
