    Exergy analysis of cavitation pretreatment of sludge

    No full text
    A number of papers present exergy analyses of various wastewater treatment systems. The current development of these systems is mainly aimed at improving their energy efficiency, reducing the share of sludge subject to storage, and reducing their harmfulness. Some of these systems can be supported by the use of the cavitation phenomenon in the processing. The generation of cavitation requires, however, the use of devices or machines and thus additional energy consumption. Therefore, this treatment should be objectively justified, e.g. through exergy analysis, which takes into account not only the amount of energy used in processes, but also its quality. The paper treats the methodology for determining the impact of the use of cavitation in the exergy balance of sewage sludge treatment system. Then, it presents the results of an exemplary analysis comparing sewage sludge treatment systems (with and without application of cavitation phenomenon) in which biogas is produced during the fermentation, then burned in a co-generator, finally receiving useful energy in the form of electric current and hot flue gas stream

    Wytwarzanie energii elektrycznej z wykorzystaniem paliw sta艂ych jest znane i stosowane od wielu lat. Spalanie paliw sta艂ych jest procesem z艂o偶onym, wymagaj膮cym odpowiedniego przygotowania paliwa, przeprowadzenia procesu spalania, jak r贸wnie偶 pozbawienia spalin szkodliwych substancji emitowanych do 艣rodowiska w postaci py艂u oraz zanieczyszcze艅 gazowych (NOx, SOx, CO). Od dekad jako najszlachetniejsz膮 posta膰 paliwa uznaje si臋 posta膰 gazow膮. Paliwa gazowe mog膮 by膰 艂atwo transportowane na du偶e odleg艂o艣ci, s膮 od razu gotowe do spalania, a sk艂ad mieszanki paliwa mo偶na dowolnie regulowa膰.

The combustion of solid fuels is a complex process that requires proper preparation of the fuel, carrying out the combustion process, as well as the removal of harmful substances in the form of dust and gaseous pollutants (NOx, SOx, CO) from exhaust gases emitted into the environment. For decades, the gaseous form has been considered the noblest form of fuel. Gaseous fuels can be easily transported over long distances, are immediately ready for combustion and the composition of the fuel mixture can be freely adjusted. The constant pursuit to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions require the use of low-emission and zero-emission energy generation technologies. In the case of coal, this will mean a shift from direct combustion to more advanced systems powered by gaseous fuel. The paper presents an overview of the available techniques and technologies of solid fuel gasification aimed at the production of gaseous fuels, which can be used in low-emission energy technologies.

    The process of sedimentation is successfully used in various industries: from the food and chemical industry, through processing of natural minerals resources in the mining industry. The sedimentation process of suspensions depends on many factors, which mainly include the grain size and grain size distribution of the solid phase of the suspension and its chemical and phase composition. The aim of this work was to determine the basic physicochemical parameters of the suspended solids from coal processing plant for intensification of its sedimentation process by means of multiflux sedimentation and/or flocculation. The particle size (and/or particle size) distribution of solid phase of coal suspension was measured by laser diffractometer. Chemical composition was determined by ICP OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma), and phase composition using X-ray diffraction. Both, the chemical composition and grain morphology were verified by SEM / EDS. As a result the shape and grain size distribution of tested suspension was determined as well as it was found that clay minerals such kaolinte and illite are next to quartz dominant constituents at its phase composition.SCOPUS: cp.pinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
