    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The present invention provides a method of reducing and controlling a hazardous substance in a process of high-value biological conversion of an urban organic waste. The method includes: 1) mixing a sludge, a first urban organic waste and an organic acid with water for acclimation to obtain an acclimatized sludge; 2) stage 1 of biological conversion: mixing the acclimatized sludge with a second urban organic waste to perform anaerobic culture; 3) stage 2 of biological conversion: adding nitrate and bacteria to continue anaerobic culture so as to obtain an organic acid. In the present invention, sludge microbes are acclimatized and then added to high-value chemicals such as acetic acid, propanoic acid and lactic acid prepared in biological conversion of the urban organic waste and then added with bacteria. Thus, by controlling pH value, microbe addition amount and nitrate concentration, the unfavorable effect of the antibiotics and heavy metal ions.

    • Claim:
      1. A method of reducing and controlling a hazardous substance in a process of biological conversion of an urban organic waste, comprising the following steps: 1) Acclimation stage: mixing a sludge, a first urban organic waste and a first organic acid solution with water in a mixture for acclimation to obtain an acclimatized sludge; 2) Stage 1 of biological conversion: mixing the acclimatized sludge with a second urban organic waste to perform anaerobic culture; 3) Stage 2 of biological conversion: adding nitrate and bacteria to continue anaerobic culture so as to obtain a second organic acid solution and a residue; wherein the mixture has a first amount of the hazardous substance; the second urban organic waste has a second amount of the hazardous substance; the residue has a third amount of the hazardous substance; and wherein the third amount is lower than a total of the first amount and the second amount; and wherein the hazardous substance comprises at least one of heavy metals and antibiotics.
    • Claim:
      2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in step 1), a dry weight ratio of the sludge to the first urban organic waste is 1:(7-11); and/or, the acclimation condition is that a pH value is 4-11, and a temperature is 5° C.-80° C.; and/or, the first organic acid solution comprises at least one of acetic acid, propanoic acid and lactic acid; and/or, a content of a solid in the mixture formed by mixing is 2000 mg/L-10000 mg/L; and/or, a concentration of the acid in the mixture formed by mixing is 50 mg/L-3000 mg/L.
    • Claim:
      3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in step 2), a dry weight ratio of the acclimatized sludge to the second urban organic waste is (0.5-30):100; and/or, the mixture formed by mixing further comprises water, and a concentration of a solid in the mixture is 5000 mg/L-70000 mg/L.
    • Claim:
      4. The method of claim 1 , wherein in steps 2) and 3), a time of the anaerobic culture is 0.5d-6d with a pH value of 4-11 and a temperature of 5° C.-80° C.
    • Claim:
      5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nitrate is sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate; the bacteria comprise denitrifying bacteria and exoelectrogenic bacteria.
    • Claim:
      6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the denitrifying bacteria comprise pseudomonas and paracoccus denitrificans , and the exoelectrogenic bacteria comprise shewanella and geobacter.
    • Claim:
      7. The method of claim 5 , wherein an addition amount of the nitrate does not exceed 50 mg/L.
    • Claim:
      8. The method of claim 5 , wherein a dry weight ratio of the denitrifying bacteria to the second urban organic waste is (0.001-20):100, and a dry weight ratio of the exoelectrogenic bacteria to the second urban organic waste is (0.001-20): 100.
    • Claim:
      9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sludge is a residual sludge of a wastewater treatment plant; and the urban organic waste comprises restaurant garbage and kitchen garbage.
    • Claim:
      10. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first organic acid solution and the second organic solution comprises at least one of acetic acid, propanoic acid and lactic acid; the antibiotics comprise tetracycline and sulfanilamide; and the heavy metals comprise chromium and arsenic.
