Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the energy density and utilization rate as compared to methane fermentation by bringing a product obtd. by the acid fermentation of org. waste into a photocatalyst in the presence of light to produce hydrogen. CONSTITUTION:Org. waste is charged into an acid fermentation vessel 1b from a duct 4. It is kept at 30-60 deg.C with warm water subjected to heat exchange in a heat exchanger 3 between a warm water duct 9 and a circulating duct 8, and acid fermentation is carried out while agitating the waste with hydrogen fed from a circulatng blower 11a. A fermented product in the vessel 1b is charged into a hydrogen producing vessel 13 through a duct 5 and brought into contact with a photocatalyst 14. At the same time, sunbeams 17 are irradiated through a light transmitting roof 15 to generate hydrogen. Part of the hydrogen is fed to aerators 16 through a blower 11b. Waste liquor after the reaction is fed to a solid-liq. separation vessel 19 through an outflow path 18, and the separated liq. is discharged from a discharge path 20. The remaining solid is returned to the vessel 13 through a duct 22.

When subjected to acid fermentation in this acid fermentation tank (1b), solid organic matter is decomposed into liquid compounds such as organic acids, and gas consisting mainly of carbon dioxide is generated. The heat exchanger (3) attached to the acid generation tank (1b) connects the circulation pipe (8) and hot water pipe (9).
Heat exchange takes place between the tank and the tank, and the temperature inside the tank is maintained at a constant temperature. This holding temperature ranges from 30°C, which is the temperature at which acidophilic bacteria become active.
It should be selected within the range of 60°C, but since there are two types of acidophilic bacteria: cocoons that are most active at 30°C to 35°C and bacteria that are most active at 501°C to 55°C, the above example is not suitable. It is desirable to keep it within this range. The inside of the acid fermenter (1b) is stirred with generated gas by a gas circulation blower (11a). Reaction production in the acid fermentation tank (1b) *J is charged into the hydrogen generation tank (13) via the re-input pipe (5). The reaction product added to the hydrogen generation tank (13) comes into contact with the photocatalyst particle group (14) and receives irradiation light (17) such as sunlight through the light-transmitting roof (15), producing hydrogen and carbonic acid. Generates gas etc.

Here, titanium dioxide surface-treated with platinum, palladium, nickel, ruthenium, ruthenium oxide, etc. is effective as the photocatalyst, but other catalysts may be used as long as they react with acid fermentation products. In addition, since the reaction rate of the photocatalyst increases as the temperature increases, the acid fermentation product can be heated in the acid fermentation tank (1b) and sent to the hydrogen generation tank (13) at the maintained temperature.

If (13) is operated at 50°C to 55°C, both the acid fermentation reaction and the hydrogen production reaction can be carried out efficiently.
