Patent number: 11952298Abstract: A method for deodorizing sludge with a metal salt and a tannin extract together, deodorized sludge, and use thereof are provided. The present invention provides a sludge deodorization technology that has high treatment efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low investment costs, and satisfies harmless requirements of subsequent resource utilization such as incineration, pyrolysis, or carbonization. Characterized by containing abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, the tannin extract is used as a multidentate ligand to undergo a complexation reaction with metal ions, which reduces bioavailability of proteins and other macromolecules, and effectively inhibits production of low-volatile sulfides, thereby significantly deodorizing the sludge during standing and combustion.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: FUZHOU UNIVERSITYInventors: Minghua Liu, Jiantao Lin, Shuyu Jiang, Yuchuan Yang, Yuxin Zhou, Yifan Liu
