The rise of nanometers

Chapter 27 Catalyst

Lu Xuedong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

He said casually: "As for the use, you will know later."

"I'm looking forward to it more and more." Lu Xuedong was indeed very excited. He had seen two brand-new materials in the past few days, which seemed to have opened a door.

More than three hours later, He Wen walked out of the testing area holding a rough analysis report with a hint of excitement on his face:

"Mr. Huang, this total nitrogen molecule is so powerful. Take a look at these reaction data."

He took it and handed it to Lu Xuedong, because he knew the content clearly: "Xuedong, take a look first."

Lu Xuedong was not polite and started browsing carefully. When he turned to the part circled by He Wen in red pen, his expression showed disbelief.

"Can it quickly promote the decomposition of organic matter? One gram can decompose 5 to 10 kilograms of organic matter. The decomposition products are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane and other organic alkanes."

He Wen on the side added: "Mr. Lu, there is nothing surprising about the decomposition. The key is that the decomposition conditions are very easy. You only need to add a solution of this material and then irradiate it with ultraviolet rays to quickly produce a decomposition reaction."

He Wen, who was very emotional, continued without stopping: "The more important thing is that by adjusting the wavelength band of ultraviolet light, the decomposition reaction can be directed to produce the required products."

"In other words, it can be directional decomposition of organic matter into carbon monoxide and methane?"

"Yes, not only natural organic matter can be decomposed, but plastics and the like can also be decomposed." He Wen's tone was trembling.

This kind of catalytic decomposition, which is not restricted when it is cold or cold, greatly enhances the value of this material.

You must know that the absolute majority of the components of oil mined from the ground are organic matter; and in the ecosystem, all living things contain organic matter in their bodies.

As for their company's currently ongoing garbage recycling industry, the municipal waste contains a large amount of organic matter.

Whether it's leftovers or plastic bags, these things are essentially organic matter, and they are also "mineral deposits" that are continuously produced, which is much easier than digging for underground resources.

Seeing this, Lu Xuedong suddenly realized: "It seems that Xiuyuan has done all the calculations. You can recycle domestic waste and make gas for sale. If you follow the test results, you can make gas efficiently and at low cost. The profit is indeed good."

Huang Xiuyuan took the opportunity to encourage: "Now we need everyone to cooperate sincerely and quickly cooperate with the engineering team to develop an efficient and safe gas preparation production line."

"No problem." Lu Xuedong nodded hurriedly.

"This is our honor." He Wen also geared up.

First, they worked with the engineering team to modify three "nitrogen-16 generators". The single-hole model (that is, only one hexagonal silicon oxide is embedded in the graphene film) nitrogen-16 generator can synthesize 1.2 kilograms of nitrogen-16 per hour.

The three newly renovated nitrogen-16 generators are double-hole and three-hole models. Each unit can produce 2.4 to 3.6 kilograms of nitrogen-16 per hour.

Approximately 10 kilograms of nitrogen 16 can be produced per hour.

To avoid trouble, they plan to produce only liquefied petroleum gas, a mixture of propane and butane.

Because the main gas used by residents in Shantou and Meizhou is liquefied petroleum gas. If other types of gas are produced, gas stoves need to be replaced. For users who are concerned about things, replacing gas stoves will become an obstacle to promotion.

After a series of tests to produce propane and butane gas, the optimal nitrogen 16 solution concentration is 5.8% to 6.7%. After ultraviolet irradiation in a specific band, each gram of nitrogen 16 can catalytically decompose 7.5 to 8.2 kilograms of organic matter.

Kitchen waste in domestic waste usually accounts for about 45% to 55% of the total domestic waste. The dry weight of organic matter in kitchen waste generally ranges from 16 to 21%.

Decomposing one ton of kitchen waste requires 20 to 25 grams of nitrogen16. Based on the daily output of 1,000 tons of domestic waste in urban areas, 20 to 25 kilograms of nitrogen are consumed every day16.

However, considering the current situation of the recycling plant, it would be good to be able to clear and transport 500 tons per day. Therefore, the current production volume of nitrogen 16 can meet production needs.

On the other hand, there is research on unit gas production.

During the trial operation of the recycling plant, the domestic waste and organic waste that have been initially separated can produce 16 to 25 kilograms of liquefied gas per ton of organic waste, and the gas production rate per ton of kitchen waste is 0.016 to 0.025 tons.

According to the recycling and separation situation these days, and then according to the proportion of organic matter in kitchen waste.

If 500 tons of municipal garbage are removed in one day, 225 to 275 tons of food waste will be produced, which can produce 3.6 to 6.875 tons of liquefied gas.

If the plastic products (proportion of about 10%) and paper products (proportion of about 8%) in the garbage are also used as raw materials for gas.

50 tons of plastic products can produce 25 to 30 tons of liquefied gas; 40 tons of paper products can also produce 10 to 13 tons of liquefied gas.

Moreover, after the gas is refined, the reaction residues of kitchen waste, waste paper and waste plastic can be used as fertilizer, but further desalination and dehydration are required.

At present, Huang Xiuyuan, Lu Xuedong, He Wen, Du Jinhua and others are constantly improving the production technology.

Although the gas production volume of kitchen waste is relatively small, there are actually other organic wastes among urban domestic waste, such as litter from green trees, feces from sewers, and fecal coal.

The calorific value of litter is not low, around 16,000 kJ/kg;

The calorific value of feces (mainly human feces) after drying is about 18,800 kJ/kg, and the moisture content of feces is usually 70%.

The average person excretes about 0.2 kilograms of feces every day, and the dry weight is about 0.06 kilograms.

The urban area of ​​Shanmei has a population of 800,000. It excretes 160 tons of feces every day, which can dry out 48 tons of dry matter and produce about 16 tons of liquefied gas.

If human excrement is not enough, there is also livestock excrement from breeding farms. The caloric value produced by livestock excrement is almost the same as that of human feces.

Pigs and cows, in particular, can be called manure-making machines. A pig needs to excrete 1.5 kilograms of manure every day on average; while a cow is even more exaggerated, with an average of about 20 kilograms of manure excreted every day.

These things are all "organic minerals" and invisible resources that have not been utilized in the process of human development.

Referring to the domestic breeding industry data, does anyone know the annual livestock manure production in China?

People usually only pay attention to the prices in the vegetable market and calculate how much a pound of pork will cost today and how much a pound of beef will cost tomorrow.

But few people know that the annual output of livestock manure in China's breeding industry has reached an astonishing 3 billion tons, and the annual growth is close to 100 million tons. It is expected that by 2018, the annual output will exceed 4 billion tons.

If all can be recycled, based on a dry matter content of 30%, 900 million tons of dry matter can be dried and about 300 million tons of liquefied gas can be extracted.

When it comes to developing oil fields, nothing is more stable than this.

After all, a large part of the domestic oil fields are used as reserves, and the difficulty and cost of extraction are quite high.

In foreign oil fields, there are too many uncontrollable factors, such as local situation, transportation distance, natural and man-made disasters, etc. Without background and big capital, there is no need to play.

Even if Suiren Company can only develop 10% of domestic biomass resources, the annual gas production can easily reach 50 million tons.

Thank you for your support, and I would like to thank the book friends "The Sword of Jianghu for the Red Dust", "The Fish Sleeping in the Bubble", and "Yu Ming Taoist" for their rewards! (˙ω˙)
