猪场全量液体粪污流变特性分析及模型构建

Analysis on rheological properties and model construction of full liquid pig manure

  • 摘要: 针对猪场粪污含固率高、流变行为多变导致的输送能耗高、施肥均匀性差等瓶颈问题,该研究采用单因素与响应面试验,解析猪场全量液体粪污流变特性并优化冬季输送参数。首先通过单因素试验确定了流变行为转变的关键阈值(临界含固率为4.28%,临界剪切速率为158 s-1);进而利用Box-Behnken设计构建修正的响应面模型。结果表明:含固率是主导黏度的核心因素;温度的主效应及其与含固率的交互作用均显著揭示了低温(5 ℃)对高含固率(>10%)粪污的“增黏放大效应”。基于能耗最小化目标,针对冬季工况(5~15 ℃)优化得出最佳参数:含固率10.0%、温度15.0 ℃、剪切速率136.1 s-1。此工艺参数下,猪场全量液体粪污的剪切速率低于临界值,表明其在能效拐点即可获理想降黏效果。研究提出冬季输送应优先维持温度(≥15 ℃)而非单纯增加泵送功率。该研究为粪污输送系统的动力匹配、搅拌设备死区防控以及高含固粪污冬季流动性的持续保障奠定了理论基础。

     

    Abstract: Full-liquid pig manure is characterized by the high total solids (TS) content and complex non-Newtonian flow behavior, leading to variation in mechanical performance, transport energy demand, and land application. The rheological constraints can often hinder the efficiency of manure handling, particularly in cold regions where low temperatures exacerbate flow resistance. This study aims to quantitatively investigate rheological properties and model construction of full liquid pig manure. A stepwise experiment was also adopted to combine the single-factor simulations with the response surface method (RSM). A systematic optimization of parameters was finally implemented after simulation. Among them, 1) single-factor experiments were conducted using TS levels ranging from 0.24% to 15.29%, temperatures from 5 to 35℃, and shear rates from 2 to 600 s-1. Steady-state rheological tests confirmed that pig manure was a typical pseudoplastic fluid. TS was identified as the dominant factor on the apparent viscosity, with a critical threshold at 4.28% TS, leading to the transition from weakly non-Newtonian to strongly shear-thinning behavior. 2) A critical shear rate of approximately 158 s-1 was determined using the rheological curves. The flocculent structure of the fluid was fully disrupted beyond this threshold, and the viscosity approached a stable limit (<10 mPa·s). 3) A three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was employed to optimize the process specifically for engineering conditions (High TS >10%, and Low Temperature 5-15 ℃). A log-transformed quadratic regression was constructed to accurately predict apparent viscosity. 4) RSM analysis revealed that there were significant main effects of temperature (P<0.01) and a significant interaction between TS and temperature (P<0.05), contrary to previous single-factor observations with negligible temperature effects. There was a strong concentration-dependent thermal sensitivity: While temperature had the minimal effect at low TS, the coupling of low temperature (5 ℃) and high TS (>10%) also triggered a "low-temperature locking effect." There was an exponential increase in viscosity due to reduced molecular thermal motion and enhanced hydrogen bonding networks among solid particles. Numerical optimization was performed to minimize transport energy consumption for the highly efficient nutrient loading. The optimal parameters were identified as: TS of 10.0%, temperature of 15.0 ℃, and shear rate of 136.1 s-1 under winter operating constraints. Validation experiments showed that there was a relative error of less than 5% between predicted and measured values, indicating the high reliability of the model. Notably, the optimal shear rate (136.1 s-1) was lower than the critical value (158 s-1), indicating the ideal viscosity reduction at an energy-efficiency inflection point without pursuing excessive rotational speeds. In conclusion, there were synergistic effects of TS, temperature, and shear rate on manure rheology. The improved model can provide a theoretical basis for the precise matching of pump power and mixer design to prevent dead zones. Crucially, heat tracing (maintaining ≥15°C) was a more energy-efficient strategy than only increasing pumping power to overcome the "low-temperature, high-solid" viscosity barrier in the winter transport of high-solids manure.
