摘要： The present invention makes public a method and an apparatus for the revalorization of various organic waste, by means of physics and mechanics. The bubbles are produced and injected into the mixture in the sealed tank under depressure, then establish the movement of toric rotation in the vertical direction. The high-speed movement bubble carrying focused energy vigorously collide into the mixture, thus showing the Rheo-fluidizing effect (Shear thinning), decreasing the viscosity and depolymerizing long-chain molecules. This achieves active bacteria killing, separation, concentration and de-emulsification; the solution's advantage is applied to various organic residue, with short and efficient processing cycles, without producing unpleasant odors and is non-polluting, chemical free, at low temperature, low energy consumption, no GHG emission, preserving the microorganisms and nutrients of organic matter, and separating the pollutants such as the oils and fats. The usage of the output is unlimited, the invention is helpful to restore the ecosystem.

摘要： The purpose of the Detritivore Lavatory [D-Lav] Sanitation Machine/Mechanism invention is to bio-convert human wastes and food scraps into viable commodities through the efficient use of detritovores. While providing protections against Covid-19 and other disease transmissions and ecological pollution, as well as mitigating greenhouse gases. The D-Lav invention facilitates the safe, sustaining and efficient use of detritovores in a controlled aerated environment in order to facilitate the bio-conversion of multiple forms of biodegradable substances.
The D-Lav invention solves a variety of problems experienced in the field of compost toilets generally and enhances the detritovore based Biofil Microflush Toilet system approach specifically. The use of the D-Lav invention will also permit multiple types of production alternatives. Such as nutrient dense soils, fertilizers, bio-fuels and animal feeds that can be derived from this invention.

摘要： An organic waste digestion and decomposition system includes a digestion chamber, a drain tank, and a discharge tank. The digestion chamber is configured to digest an organic waste mixture disposed therein to produce a liquid digestate. The digestion chamber includes a recirculation spray head configured to spray a first portion of the liquid digestate into the digestion chamber and a drain pan configured to enable the liquid digestate to exit the digestion chamber. The drain tank is configured to receive the liquid digestate from the digestion chamber and includes a first pump configured to pump a second portion of the liquid digestate from the drain tank back to the digestion chamber. The discharge tank is in fluid communication with the drain tank and is configured to receive the liquid digestate from the drain tank and enable the liquid digestate to be discharged from the organic waste digestion and decomposition system.

摘要： A device for treating uranium tailings with microorganism is provided and includes a treatment container, a spray water distribution assembly, a microbial incubator and a first pump. The water is transported from the microbial incubator to the spray water distribution assembly through the first pump, allowing the microorganisms to enter the interior of the uranium tailings in the treatment container. After treatment is completed, the water is collected by the water collection cylinder and sent back to the microbial incubator for recovery, so as to reduce the waste of microorganisms. The even distribution of horizontal spray pipes can evenly spray water containing microorganisms on the uranium tailings in the treatment container, which makes the distribution of microorganisms in the uranium tailings more uniform and can prevent inadequate treatment and improve the treatment efficiency of microorganisms on uranium tailings.

摘要： Methane is a potent greenhouse gas contributing to the acceleration of climate change due to its heat trapping affinity. Described herein are methods for the reduction of methane production in waste management systems by utilizing microbial populations that produce Cld enzymes and addition of a source of NaClO2. The compositions as described herein may be used to reduce methanogenesis in a landfill or other waste management system.
