The present invention relates to a method for
drying high
moisture, low calorific value lignite for a generating set and recovering water contained therein and an apparatus thereof, which mainly consisting of a rotary steam tube dryer, a washing
cooling tower, a
coal mill, a 1st
bag filter I, a condenser, a weighing surge
bunker, a water ring
vacuum pump and so on. In the present invention, a
drying system is integrated with a milling
system, every dryer and the corresponding
coal mill are disposed and are directly connected via a surge
bunker, thereby not only saving the heat lost during the transportation of pulverized
coal, but also omitting a long-distance transportation from a conventional
drying system to a conventional milling system, effectively avoiding such phenomena as
dust pollution, waste and
spontaneous combustion during transportation and
transshipment, simplifying the coal preparation system employed in the front-end process of drying.
