The invention discloses a
quenching apparatus and method of red
coke in the coking industry. A
quenching tank comprises a
quenching tank body with the top provided with a red
coke feeding opening and with the bottom provided with a
coke discharging opening, a red coke feeding opening tank cover, and a coke discharging opening sealing mechanism; the upper portion of the quenching tank body is provided with a steam discharging opening and a
waste gas discharging opening, the steam discharging opening is connected with a steam purifying device, and the
waste gas discharging opening is connected with the inlet of a
waste gas treatment device or is directly connected to
atmosphere; and the wall of the quenching tank body is provided with
water spray tubes for spraying water to the tank, the
water spray tubes are respectively arranged in a layered manner along the height direction of the quenching tank, the
water spray tubes in various
layers are individually fed with water or / and different circumferential parts of the same layer are individually fed with water, the radial center position of the quenching tank body is provided with a water spray tube for spraying water to coke in the quenching tank, and the center water spray tube is individually fed with water. The apparatus and the method have the characteristics of less investment, low running cost, short quenching time,
heat energy recovery and no
pollution.
