Abstract
A bioreactor (1, 2, 3) and use thereof for converting organic residual and/or waste materials into an organic nutrient solution with a proportion of at least 10% plant-available mineralized nitrogen relative to the total nitrogen content of the nutrient solution. A process for preparing an organic nutrient solution is also provided, as well as an organic nutrient solution, use of an organic nutrient solution as an absorbent for carbon dioxide storage, use of an organic nutrient solution as an agent for binding carbon in plants and soils and to a nutrient production and carbon dioxide storage system.
Claims5
A process for producing an organic nutrient solution with a fraction of at least 10% of plant-available, mineralized nitrogen, based on a total nitrogen content of the organic nutrient solution, the process comprising the steps of:
- in a seeding step, seeding a carrier element (10) with a seed material which comprises ammonifying and/or nitrifying bacteria,
- forming a biofilm (12) with at least one of ammonifying or nitrifying bacteria on the carrier element (10),
- in an incubating step, incubating at least one of an organic residual or an organic waste material with the biofilm (12), where the at least one of the ammonifying or the nitrifying bacteria convert organically bonded nitrogen in the at least one of the residual or waste material into mineralized nitrogen,
- where during implementation of at least one of the seeding of the carrier element (10), the forming of the biofilm (12), or the incubating of the at least one of the organic residual or the organic waste material with the biofilm (12), oxygen is introduced into at least one of a reaction vessel (5) or the carrier element (10) by an aerating device (8),
- producing an organic nutrient solution by the preceding steps, and subsequently, in a carbon dioxide storage step, treating the organic nutrient solution with a carbon dioxide-containing gas, such that gaseous carbon dioxide is bound by the organic nutrient solution.
