Apparatus and method for treating oil-containing sludge with metal-friched biochar
It discloses an apparatus and a method for treating oil-containing sludge, wherein, a pressurized chamber is the main structure, and a mixture of carbonic acid in water, iron-rich biochar and polyaspartic acid is sprayed in pulses by a nano-aeration device inside the pressurized chamber. The carbonic acid is decomposed into supercritical CO 2 by the nano-aeration device, reducing the viscosity of petroleum hydrocarbons in the oil-containing sludge synergistically with the polyaspartic acid. The iron-rich biochar promotes dissolution of petroleum hydrocarbons from the oil-containing sludge, thus enhancing the drive-off ratio of oil phase, and improving the decomposition of residual oil organics. In the treatment of oil-containing sludge according to the present invention, high temperature retting of the separated sludge with bacterial bran increases the degree of humification of the sludge, the treated sludge contains petroleum hydrocarbon below 1%, and can be directly available to plants.
