Chapter 27 Catalysts

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

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

"I'm looking forward to it more and more." Lu Xuedong was really excited. He has seen two new materials these days, as if he had opened a door.

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

"Mr. Huang, this whole nitrogen molecule is too powerful. Look at these reaction data."

He took it and then handed it to Lu Xuedong. Because of the content on it, he knew clearly: "Xuedong, you can take a look first."

Lu Xuedong was not polite and browsed it carefully. He flipped through the part that He Wen circled with a red pen, and his expression also became unbelievable.

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

He Wen, who was standing aside, interjected: "Mr. Lu, there is nothing to be surprised about 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 excited, continued to say: "More important thing is that by adjusting the ultraviolet band, the decomposition reaction can be directionally produced by directing the desired product."

"That is, it can be decomposed into carbon monoxide and methane through the directional decomposition of organic matter?"

"Yes, not only natural organic matter can be decomposed, but plastics can also be used." He Wen's tone was a little trembling.

This catalytic decomposition that is not absent from raw and cold has greatly improved the value of this material.

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

The garbage recycling industry in their company is currently in progress, and those urban domestic waste are rich in a large amount of organic matter.

Whether it is leftovers or plastic bags, these things are essentially organic matter and are a continuous stream of "minerals", which is much easier than digging underground resources.

Seeing this, Lu Xuedong suddenly realized: "It seems that Xiuyuan, you have calculated it. Recycling domestic waste and manufacturing gas for sale. If you follow the test results, you can manufacture gas efficiently and at low cost, and the profit is indeed good."

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

"No problem." Lu Xuedong nodded hurriedly.

"This is our honor." He Wen was also ready to rub his hands.

First, they and the engineering team transformed three "nitrogen 16 generators" and a single-hole model (that is, only one hexagonal silicon oxide is embedded on the graphene film) and can synthesize 1.2 kilograms of nitrogen 16 per hour.

The newly modified three nitrogen 16 generators are of double-hole and triple-hole models. A single unit can produce 2.4 to .6 kilograms of nitrogen 16 per hour.

It can produce about 10 kilograms of nitrogen per hour 16.

In order not to worry, they intend to produce only liquefied petroleum gas, namely propane and butane mixed gas.

Because the residents' gas used in Shanmei areas is mainly liquefied petroleum gas, if other types of gas are produced, it is necessary to change the gas stove. For users who are calculating, replacing the gas stove will become an obstacle to promotion.

After a series of tests, propane and butane gas are produced, and the optimal nitrogen 16 solution concentration is 5.8% to 6.7%. After a specific band of ultraviolet irradiation, each gram of nitrogen 16 can catalyze the decomposition of 7.5~8.2 kilograms of organic matter per gram of nitrogen 16.

The proportion of kitchen waste in domestic waste is usually about 45% to 55%. The dry weight of organic matter in kitchen waste is generally 16 to 21%.

To decompose a ton of kitchen waste, 20 to 25 grams of nitrogen is consumed. According to the daily output of 1,000 tons of domestic waste in urban areas, 20 to 25 kilograms of nitrogen is consumed every day.

However, considering the current situation of recycling plants, it is good to transport 500 tons per day, so the current production of nitrogen 16 can meet production needs.

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

During the trial operation of the recycling plant, the domestic waste that was initially separated, and those organic waste, can produce 16 to 25 kilograms of liquefied gas per ton of organic waste, and the gas production rate of each 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 organic substance ratio of kitchen waste.

If 500 tons of urban garbage are transported a day, 225 to 275 tons of kitchen waste will be generated, and 3.6 to 6.875 tons of liquefied gas can be produced.

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

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

Moreover, after gas is extracted, the reaction residues of kitchen waste, waste paper crust 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 process.

Although the gas production of kitchen waste is relatively small, there are actually other organic waste among urban domestic waste, such as dead branches and leaves of green trees, feces and manure in sewers.

The calorific value of dead branches and leaves is not low, at around 16,000 kJ/kg;

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

The per capita excretes about 0.2 kilograms of feces per day, and the dry weight is about 0.06 kilograms.

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

If human feces are not enough, there are also livestock manures in the farm, and the calorific value generated by livestock manures, which is almost the same as the calorific value of human feces.

In particular, pigs and cows are called manure-making machines. A pig needs to excrete an average of 1.5 kilograms of feces per day; while a cow is even more exaggerated, and an average of 20 kilograms of cow dung is excreted per day.

These things are "organic mineral deposits" and are also invisible resources that have not been used in human development.

Referring to domestic aquaculture data, does anyone know about China's annual livestock manure production?

People usually only pay attention to the prices of the vegetable market, and calculate how much pork is per pound today and how much beef is per pound tomorrow.

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

If all of them can be recycled and used, based on the 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 developing oil fields, there is no more stability than this.

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

There are too many uncontrollable factors in oil fields abroad, including local situations, transportation distances, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and without background and large capital, there is no need to play at all.
