Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of coal chemical technology, and in particular to a raw material pretreatment method and pretreatment system for a fluidized bed gasifier. Background Technology

[0002] Continuously promoting the efficient, clean, economical, and safe innovative development of coal gasification technology is key to achieving energy conservation and emission reduction in coal chemical projects. Coal-water slurry gasification technology, as an advanced and mature coal gasification technology, has advantages such as high gasification pressure, good matching with downstream purification and synthesis, safe and reliable coal slurry preparation, good transportation stability, and low equipment investment. It has been widely used in fields such as coal-to-methanol / olefins / ethylene glycol / synthetic ammonia / coal-to-hydrogen. However, the development of this technology also faces many limitations, including restricted coal selection, difficulty in coal slurry concentration, low energy efficiency, and high carbon emissions. In particular, the control of coal slurry concentration and the rheological properties of the coal-water slurry are closely related to the overall technical and economic indicators of the process.

[0003] Coal-water slurry gasification requires a gasifier. A gasifier can perform both coal-water slurry gasification and pulverized coal slurry gasification. Pulverized coal slurry is formed by mixing coal-water slurry and pulverized coal. During pulverized coal slurry gasification, the gasification effect of the components of the coal-water slurry in the pulverized coal slurry has a significant impact. Therefore, when using a gasifier, whether gasifying coal-water slurry or pulverized coal slurry, to ensure stable operation, it is necessary to use coal-water slurry with acceptable coal concentration and rheological properties. Raw material selection and control are key factors affecting the slurry-forming properties of coal-water slurry. Slurry made from high-rank coal can meet the standards, but high-rank coal is expensive. Low-quality coal, which is cheaper, has high moisture and ash content, resulting in poor slurry-forming properties and making it difficult to produce coal-water slurry that meets the gasifier's standards. This increases the implementation cost of coal-water slurry gasification, affecting its practical use and development. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solution provided in this disclosure has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0032] The raw material pretreatment method for a fluidized bed gasifier disclosed herein includes pre-crushing raw coal and / or solid waste to obtain pulverized coal, increasing the surface area of ​​the raw coal and solid waste to facilitate subsequent processing operations; feeding the pulverized coal into a pretreatment unit for crushing, dewatering, and reducing oxygen-containing functional groups to obtain pulverized coal. The pretreatment unit reduces the moisture content of the pulverized coal, lowers coal and oxygen consumption, and reduces oxygen-containing functional groups, thereby improving the hydrophobicity of the pulverized coal and giving the coal-water slurry good slurry-forming properties; and feeding the pulverized coal into a washing unit for washing to remove water-soluble cations from the pulverized coal, obtaining... Wet pulverized coal is obtained by reducing the content of water-soluble cations in the wet pulverized coal, thus avoiding the influence of water-soluble cations on the repulsive force between coal particles and reducing the fluidity of the coal-water slurry produced by pulverized coal. The wet pulverized coal is then fed into a slurry preparation unit to obtain coal-water slurry. Ultimately, after the low-quality coal with high moisture content and high ash content is treated by the raw material pretreatment method, a coal-water slurry raw material that meets the requirements of coal-water slurry gasification technology is obtained. This enables the produced coal-water slurry to meet the application standards of coal-water slurry gasification or pulverized slurry gasification, broadens the range of raw material selection for coal-water slurry gasification or pulverized slurry gasification processes, and reduces the cost of coal-water slurry gasification or pulverized slurry gasification processes.

[0039] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0040] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides a raw material pretreatment method for an entrained gasifier, including the following steps: S1: pre-crushing raw coal and / or solid waste to obtain crushed coal; S2: feeding the crushed coal into a pretreatment unit 3 for crushing, dewatering, and reducing oxygen-containing functional groups to obtain pulverized coal; S3: feeding the pulverized coal into a washing unit 4 for washing to remove water-soluble cations from the pulverized coal to obtain wet pulverized coal; S4: feeding the wet pulverized coal into a slurry preparation unit 5 for slurry preparation to obtain coal-water slurry.

[0042] Specifically, coal is usually classified using coal rank, a quantity used to describe the degree of coalification during coal formation. Both the physical and chemical properties of coal affect its rank. As the degree of coalification increases, coal evolves from its initial peat state, through lignite, sub-bituminous coal, bituminous coal, and anthracite. Low-rank lignite and sub-bituminous coal have high moisture content and low calorific value, resulting in low combustion efficiency as fuel. High-rank coal has low moisture content and high calorific value. In other words, as coal rank and maturity increase, the carbon content increases, while the hydrogen and oxygen content decrease. Furthermore, volatile matter decreases with increasing maturity. Generally, the lower the coal rank, the higher the internal water content, the higher the oxygen-to-carbon ratio, the more hydrophilic functional groups, and the greater the difficulty in pulping. Low-grade coal, also known as low-rank coal, has an increased number of carbonyl and aliphatic carbon groups, meaning it has more oxygen-containing hydrophilic functional groups and a higher oxygen-to-carbon ratio. As the number of hydrophilic functional groups increases, the hydrophilicity of the coal increases, and the free water decreases, which increases the viscosity of the coal-water slurry and consequently leads to poorer slurry-forming properties.

[0043] The raw coal can be selected as low-rank coal with a low degree of coal quality morphology. Low-rank coal has large reserves and low prices. Solid waste can be selected as combustible solid materials, such as solid waste from coal chemical industrial parks, including industrial waste, domestic waste, fly ash, and coke powder. The raw coal and solid waste can be put into a coal crusher with rotary blades, where the blades continuously impact the raw coal and solid waste for pre-crushing. Alternatively, a reciprocating vibrating structure in the coal crusher can be selected, where the raw coal and solid waste are subjected to vibration to crush them. The crushed coal obtained from the process is in the form of lumps or granules. The crushed coal can be obtained by pre-crushing raw coal, or by pre-crushing solid waste. It is not limited to obtaining crushed coal from a mixture of raw coal and solid waste. The crushed coal is not limited to being made solely from crushed coal lumps. After crushing, the solid waste also has combustible properties. Furthermore, the solid waste is waste from the coal industrial park and contains at least some coal components. Therefore, the crushed coal can be obtained by pre-crushing solid waste.

[0044] The aforementioned pretreatment unit 3 may include a coal crusher. The pulverized coal enters the crusher for further crushing into smaller coal lumps, thus reducing the particle size and facilitating water removal and reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups. Reducing the oxygen-containing functional groups of the pulverized coal can be achieved by introducing hot flue gas composed of purge gas and water vapor into the pulverized coal. Upon contact with the pulverized coal, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the coal surface react with water and decompose, while the microporous structure inside the coal shrinks and collapses, thereby irreversibly removing water from the coal. This reduction in oxygen-containing functional groups simultaneously lowers the particle size of the pulverized coal. Moisture content; the more oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of coal, the stronger its hydrophilicity. When making coal-water slurry, a large number of water molecules will be adsorbed on the surface of the coal, increasing the internal moisture content of the coal. The internal moisture of the coal will form a solid hydration film on the surface of the coal particles, reducing the free flow of water and thus reducing the fluidity of the coal-water slurry. After the pretreatment unit 3, the particle size of the crushed coal is further reduced to form pulverized coal, which is easier to process into coal-water slurry. The reduced moisture content in the pulverized coal reduces the oxygen-containing functional groups, improves the hydrophobicity of the pulverized coal, and enhances its slurry-forming properties.

[0045] The aforementioned washing unit 4 can be selected as a washing tank for placing pulverized coal. The pulverized coal is placed in the washing tank and washed with water, thereby dissolving the water-soluble cations in the pulverized coal into the water, thus reducing the content of water-soluble cations in the pulverized coal. After washing, the pulverized coal carries some water and forms wet pulverized coal. The cations on the coal surface will reduce the anionic potential on the surface of the coal particles, reduce the repulsive force between solid particles, and cause the viscosity of the prepared coal-water slurry to increase, affecting the fluidity of the coal-water slurry.

[0046] The aforementioned pulping unit 5 can be selected as a container for holding wet pulverized coal with a mixer. The wet pulverized coal is placed in the container, and water and additives are added to the container. Under the action of the mixer, the wet pulverized coal, additives and water are mixed evenly to form a coal-water slurry.

[0047] The raw material pretreatment method for a fluidized bed gasifier provided in this embodiment includes a warehouse for storing raw coal and solid waste. The raw coal and solid waste in the warehouse are transferred to a coal crusher via a conveyor belt or transfer vehicle to pre-crush the raw coal and solid waste to obtain crushed coal. The crushed coal is then subjected to dehydration, reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups, and crushing treatment in a pretreatment unit 3 to obtain pulverized coal. After being treated in a water washing unit 4, water-soluble cations in the pulverized coal are removed to obtain wet pulverized coal. The wet pulverized coal is then sent to a slurry preparation unit 5 to produce coal-water slurry.

[0048] A typical Xinjiang coal type was selected as the raw material for the pretreatment method of the fluidized bed gasifier. The coal quality analysis is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] The coal slurry concentration and fluidity parameters obtained before processing this type of coal using the pretreatment method for fluidized bed gasification furnace are as follows:

[0051]

[0052] After being processed by the raw material pretreatment method in the fluidized bed gasifier, the coal slurry concentration and fluidity indicators are as follows:

[0053]

[0054] The oxygen-to-carbon ratio can be obtained using the elemental analysis method for coal as specified in GB47691. The apparent viscosity can be obtained using GBT 18856.4-2008 Test Methods for Coal-Water Slurry, Part 4: Determination of Apparent Viscosity. The 24-hour water separation rate can be determined by sealing the coal-water slurry and allowing it to stand for 24 hours, then measuring the weight of the water separated from the slurry. The weight of the water separated from the slurry is the proportion of the total weight of the coal-water slurry after standing. The fluidity can be determined by using a 16mm funnel, pouring the coal-water slurry into the funnel, and observing the flow state of the slurry through the funnel. The stability can be determined by sealing the coal-water slurry and allowing it to stand for 24 hours, then observing the sediment that forms after standing and determining the hardness of the sediment.

[0055] Water-coal slurries prepared from the same coal type before and after raw material pretreatment were used for gasification. During the gasification process, the operating pressure of the fluidized bed gasifier was controlled at 4 MPa and the temperature at 1350℃. The specific indicators obtained and the comparison of indicators before and after the raw material pretreatment method for the fluidized bed gasifier are as follows:

[0056]

[0057]

[0058] After the coal is pretreated by the fluidized bed gasifier, the resulting coal-water slurry has improved slurry concentration and flow characteristics, increased effective gas production, and reduced coal and oxygen consumption. Under the same coal input, the increase in effective gas and the reduction in coal and oxygen consumption improve energy conversion efficiency and reduce the implementation cost of the coal-water slurry gasification process, thereby improving technical and economic indicators.

[0059] The pretreatment method for raw materials in a fluidized bed gasifier includes pre-crushing the raw coal and / or solid waste to obtain pulverized coal, increasing the surface area of ​​the raw coal and solid waste for easier subsequent processing. The pulverized coal is then fed into a pretreatment unit 3 for crushing, dewatering, and reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups to obtain pulverized coal. Pretreatment unit 3 reduces the moisture content of the pulverized coal, lowers coal and oxygen consumption, and reduces oxygen-containing functional groups, thereby improving the hydrophobicity of the pulverized coal and giving the coal-water slurry good slurry-forming properties. Finally, the pulverized coal is fed into a washing unit 4 for washing to remove water-soluble cations, obtaining wet pulverized coal. The content of water-soluble cations is reduced to avoid the water-soluble cations affecting the repulsive force between coal particles and reducing the fluidity of the coal-water slurry made from pulverized coal. Wet pulverized coal is sent to the slurry preparation unit 5 for slurry preparation to obtain coal-water slurry. Finally, the low-rank coal with high moisture content and high ash content is processed by the raw material pretreatment method to obtain coal-water slurry raw material that meets the requirements of coal-water slurry gasification technology. The obtained coal-water slurry meets the application standards of coal-water slurry gasification or pulverized slurry gasification, which broadens the range of raw material selection for coal-water slurry gasification or pulverized slurry gasification processes and reduces the cost of coal-water slurry gasification or pulverized slurry gasification processes.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in step S1, the raw coal includes any one or more combinations of peat, lignite, and sub-bituminous coal, and the solid waste includes any one or more combinations of industrial waste, domestic waste, fly ash, and coke powder from the coal chemical industrial park.

[0061] Specifically, the raw coal can be peat, lignite, or even sub-bituminous coal, as long as it is a low-priced, low-quality or low-rank coal. Industrial waste, domestic waste, fly ash, and coke powder in the coal chemical industrial park are all combustible solid waste and can be used as fuel. Mixing them with low-rank coal can further reduce the raw material cost for subsequent coal-water slurry production. Alternatively, the solid waste can be pre-crushed to form lumps of combustible solids for use as pulverized coal. The raw coal and solid waste can be mixed and pre-crushed together, or only the raw coal or only the solid waste can be pre-crushed, depending on the actual situation in industrial production.

[0062] By setting the raw coal to include any one or more combinations of peat, lignite, and sub-bituminous coal, and the solid waste to include any one or more combinations of industrial waste, domestic waste, fly ash, and coke powder from coal chemical industrial parks, the raw coal is made into a mixture of low-priced low-rank coal and solid waste, thereby reducing the raw material cost of preparing coal-water slurry. Mixing solid waste with raw coal further reduces the raw material cost of preparing coal-water slurry while utilizing waste.

[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in step S1, the particle size of the pulverized coal obtained is less than 10 mm.

[0064] Specifically, raw coal and solid waste can be pre-crushed together, or only raw coal can be pre-crushed. The maximum particle size of the resulting particles is less than 10 mm, which increases the contact area of ​​the raw coal and makes it easier to process the raw coal into pulverized coal after crushing.

[0065] By setting the particle size of the crushed coal obtained in step S1 to be less than 10mm, the original large-volume raw coal is broken into granules, which increases the surface area of ​​the raw coal and improves the efficiency of subsequent dewatering and reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups. Furthermore, pre-crushing into particles of less than 10mm can reduce the crushing time in step S2, allowing the crushed coal to be processed into pulverized coal more quickly.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in step S2, the pulverized coal is fed into the pretreatment unit 3 for dehydration, reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups, and crushing treatment. Specifically, this includes: S21, feeding the pulverized coal into the coal mill 31 for crushing, and simultaneously feeding the steam-containing hot flue gas generated by the steam superheating mechanism 34 into the coal mill 31, so that the steam-containing hot flue gas comes into countercurrent contact with the pulverized coal in the coal mill 31 to perform hydrothermal modification on the pulverized coal; S22, separating the hydrothermally modified pulverized coal by air classification, pulverized coal larger than the set particle size is returned to the coal mill 31 for crushing treatment, and pulverized coal smaller than or equal to the set particle size enters the gas-solid separation mechanism 33 under the drive of airflow for gas-solid separation to obtain pulverized coal and steam-containing hot gas.

[0067] Specifically, the coal mill 31 can be a mill with a grinding disc structure, where the pulverized coal changes from lumpy particles to powder under the action of the grinding disc; the steam superheating mechanism 34 can be selected to include a gas mixing section and a heating section, where purge gas, water vapor, and air are introduced into the gas mixing section, and the heating section is used to heat the gas in the gas mixing section to obtain steam-containing hot flue gas. The water vapor content in the steam-containing hot flue gas can be selected to be above 40%, and the temperature of the steam-containing hot flue gas can be between 250°C and 400°C. The pulverized coal moves in one direction in the coal mill 31, and the steam-containing hot flue gas is introduced into the coal mill 31, with the direction of movement of the steam-containing hot flue gas in the coal mill 31 opposite to the direction of movement of the pulverized coal, so as to achieve countercurrent contact between the steam-containing hot flue gas and the pulverized coal in the coal mill 31, so that the steam-containing hot flue gas and the pulverized coal can fully contact each other, and so that the steam-containing hot flue gas and the pulverized coal can fully carry out the hydrothermal modification reaction.

[0068] The aforementioned hydrothermal modification reaction involves the reaction of high-temperature steam with oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of pulverized coal, reducing the number of oxygen-containing functional groups in the pulverized coal. Furthermore, the high-temperature hot flue gas causes the microporous structure inside the pulverized coal to shrink and collapse, reducing the water content within the pulverized coal. The crushing process further reduces the particle size of the pulverized coal. The further crushing of the pulverized coal increases its contact area with the steam-containing hot flue gas, accelerating the reaction efficiency of hydrothermal modification. Moreover, the pulverized coal formed by crushing facilitates the subsequent preparation of coal-water slurry. The high-temperature steam-containing hot flue gas can also dry the coal particles in the coal mill.

[0069] The aforementioned air separation involves the pulverized coal in the coal mill 31 undergoing hydrothermal modification for a set time. Then, a blower 32 blows coal particles smaller than or equal to a set particle size into the gas-solid separation mechanism 33. The direction of the airflow created by the blower 32 can be upward, or it can be tilted upward with the blower 32 pointing towards the gas-solid separation mechanism 33. As the pulverized coal passes through the airflow, particles with a diameter smaller than or equal to the set particle size are lighter and can be carried into the gas-solid separation mechanism 33. Particles larger than the set particle size are heavier and cannot be blown away by the airflow, falling back into the coal mill 31 for further pulverization. The set time can be 30 minutes, 1 hour, or other durations, determined based on the type of coal and the specific process.

[0070] The gas-solid separation mechanism 33 mentioned above can be a filter bag with pores. The diameter of the pores is smaller than the set particle size. The crushed coal and steam-containing hot flue gas enter the filter bag, and the steam-containing hot flue gas passes through the pores and exits the filter bag, leaving the crushed coal in the filter bag to form pulverized coal.

[0071] In step S2, the pulverized coal is fed into the pretreatment unit 3 for dehydration, reduction of oxygen-containing functional groups, and crushing. Specifically, this includes: S21, feeding the pulverized coal into the coal mill 31 for crushing, while simultaneously feeding the steam-containing hot flue gas generated by the steam superheating mechanism 34 into the coal mill 31, causing the steam-containing hot flue gas to come into countercurrent contact with the pulverized coal in the coal mill 31, thus performing hydrothermal modification on the pulverized coal; S22, separating the hydrothermally modified pulverized coal through air classification, returning pulverized coal larger than the set particle size to the coal mill 31 for further crushing, and smaller pulverized coal... The crushed coal of a set particle size is driven by airflow into the gas-solid separation mechanism 33 for gas-solid separation, resulting in pulverized coal and steam-containing hot gas. Finally, the steam-containing hot flue gas comes into countercurrent contact with the crushed coal, allowing for full contact and hydrothermal reaction. The crushed coal is further crushed in the coal mill 31, increasing its contact area with the steam-containing hot flue gas and improving the efficiency of the hydrothermal reaction. Air classification can conveniently send crushed coal that meets the particle size requirements into the gas-solid separation mechanism 33, improving the efficiency of the crushed coal in the pretreatment unit 3.

[0072] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in step S21, the steam introduced into the steam superheating mechanism 34 is water vapor from a public works system at a preset pressure. At the same time, purge gas and air with a set calorific value are introduced into the steam superheating mechanism 34. The introduced water vapor is preheated by the combustion exothermic reaction to obtain steam-containing hot flue gas with a water vapor content of more than 40% at 250-400°C.

[0073] Specifically, one can choose the steam pipeline provided by the public works system for the project or industrial park. Purge gas is a material name used in chemical production. In many chemical production processes, to maintain chemical reaction balance, efficiency, normal and stable operation, gases generated by side reactions or remaining components from mixed gas feedstocks, as well as all or part of low-grade gas components that can no longer be used in the chemical process, are continuously or periodically discharged from the production unit. This portion of gas is called purge gas. The set calorific value of purge gas is determined based on its composition.

[0074] The preset pressure can be selected as 0.5MPa or 0.2MPa. The utility system usually only provides steam at a stable pressure value according to the design. This pressure value is the preset pressure. The preset pressure can be selected as 0.2MPa, 0.5MPa or 1.2MPa. Of course, depending on the actual situation of the utility system, other pressure values ​​of steam may be provided. As long as the steam superheating mechanism is directly connected to the steam with the preset pressure provided by the utility system, the existing factory steam settings can be used, and there is no need to set up a separate boiler to provide steam.

[0075] In step S21, the steam introduced into the steam superheating mechanism 34 is water vapor from a pre-set pressure in the utility system. At the same time, purge gas and air with a set calorific value are introduced into the steam superheating mechanism 34. The introduced water vapor is preheated through the combustion exothermic reaction, resulting in steam-containing hot flue gas at 250-400℃ with a water vapor content of more than 40%. The mixing of purge gas and water vapor reduces the cost of producing hot flue gas. The steam-containing hot flue gas is between 250℃ and 400℃. Within this temperature range, the water vapor in the hot flue gas can react with the oxygen-containing functional groups in the coal, causing the oxygen-containing functional groups to decompose. The water vapor content of more than 40% ensures that the hot flue gas can fully react with the oxygen-containing functional groups in the pulverized coal, guaranteeing the effect of the hot flue gas in removing oxygen-containing functional groups from the pulverized coal.

[0076] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in step S21, the pressure of the coal mill 31 is 0.1-0.4 MPa, specifically 0.1 MPa, 0.2 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.4 MPa, etc., and the operating temperature of the coal mill 31 is 130-180℃, specifically 130℃, 150℃, 180℃, etc.

[0077] Specifically, the pressure of the coal mill 31 is the pressure applied to the crushed coal blocks inside the coal mill 31 during operation. The pressure can be set to 0.2 MPa or 0.4 MPa. The pressure of the coal mill 31 is related to the model and power of the coal mill 31. Different models and power of the selected coal mill 31 will have different set pressure values. The operating temperature of the coal mill 31 is the overall temperature of the coal mill 31 during operation. The operating temperature of the coal mill 31 is 130℃ to 180℃.

[0078] By setting the pressure of the coal mill 31 to 0.1-0.4 MPa and the operating temperature of the coal mill 31 to 130-180℃ in step S21, it is ensured that the coal mill 31 can further crush the coal and reduce the rate of heat loss during the reaction of steam-containing hot flue gas in the coal mill 31, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the hydrothermal modification reaction.

[0079] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, step S22 further includes the following: the steam-containing hot gas obtained after gas-solid separation by the gas-solid separation mechanism 33 is partially discharged into the air and the other part enters the steam superheating mechanism 34 for recycling.

[0080] Specifically, the steam-containing hot flue gas undergoes a hydrothermal modification reaction with the crushed coal in the coal mill 31, causing some of the released gas in the steam-containing hot flue gas to react with and be consumed by the crushed coal, thereby turning the steam-containing hot flue gas into steam-containing hot gas. The crushed coal that has undergone hydrothermal modification after crushing is blown into the gas-solid separation mechanism 33 along with the steam-containing hot gas during the air classification process. The gas-solid separation mechanism 33 is connected to the steam superheating mechanism 34 through a gas guide pipe. After separation by the gas-solid separation mechanism 33, the crushed coal that has undergone air classification remains in the gas-solid separation mechanism 33, while the steam-containing hot gas is discharged into the steam superheating mechanism 34 for recycling. Some of the steam-containing hot gas will escape into the air.

[0081] The step S22 also includes the following: after gas-solid separation by the gas-solid separation mechanism 33, part of the steam-containing hot flue gas is discharged into the air, and the other part enters the steam superheating mechanism 34 for recycling. This allows the steam-containing hot flue gas, which maintains a certain temperature, to return to the steam superheating mechanism 34 for recycling after separation from the crushed coal that has undergone air separation by the gas-solid separation mechanism 33. This reduces the energy required to maintain the temperature of the steam-containing hot flue gas.

[0082] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, in step S2, the obtained pulverized coal has an internal water content of less than 5%, an O / C mass ratio of less than 0.2, and a proportion of pulverized coal particles with a particle size of less than 100 μm greater than 80%.

[0083] Specifically, it can be selected that, during the air classification of crushed coal into powder, due to the continuous movement of the crushed coal driven by the mill, some crushed coal particles with a particle size larger than the set particle size may enter the gas-solid separation mechanism 33 under the action of kinetic energy. Therefore, it is only necessary for the proportion of pulverized coal particles with a particle size of less than 100μm to be greater than 80% to meet the requirements of pulverized coal. The particle size of pulverized coal is less than 100μm, which facilitates its subsequent mixing with water to prepare coal-water slurry. The internal water content of pulverized coal is less than 5%, which ensures the fluidity of the coal-water slurry prepared by pulverized coal. The O / C mass ratio is less than 0.2, which indicates that there are fewer oxygen-containing functional groups in pulverized coal, so that the coal-water slurry prepared by pulverized coal has good slurry-forming properties.

[0084] By setting the pulverized coal in step S2 to have an internal water content of less than 5%, an O / C mass ratio of less than 0.2, and a proportion of pulverized coal particles with a particle size of less than 100 μm greater than 80%, the physical properties of the pulverized coal after treatment are suitable for preparing a coal-water slurry with good slurry properties.

[0085] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, step S3 further includes sending the water containing cations obtained after water washing into a biochemical treatment unit for wastewater treatment to recover salts.

[0086] Specifically, water containing cations usually contains metal cations of high-value metals, and the biochemical treatment unit can prepare salt compounds from the cations dissolved in the water after washing treatment.

[0087] Step S3 also includes sending the water containing cations obtained after water washing to a biochemical treatment unit for wastewater treatment to recover salts, improve the utilization rate of raw materials, increase the variety of economically valuable products produced by the raw material pretreatment system for the fluidized bed gasifier, and improve economic benefits.

Specifically, this includes: feeding wet pulverized coal into the slurry preparation unit 5, adding water, additives, and high-rank coal for coal-water slurry to the slurry preparation unit 5, and mixing and grinding the slurry in the slurry preparation unit 5 to obtain a coal-water slurry with a coal slurry concentration greater than 60%.
