Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-temperature molten slag waste heat utilization of liquid slag discharge boiler, and particularly relates to a boiler liquid slag waste heat recovery and utilization system and method based on a cascade transcritical CO2 power cycle. BACKGROUND

[0002] It is reported that the energy consumption of industrial industries in China accounts for about 70% of the total energy consumption of the whole society, and the energy utilization rate is only 33%. The potential of waste heat resources in China is huge, and the recoverable waste heat resources account for 10%-40% of the total energy consumption of industrial industries. A large amount of industrial waste heat is not effectively utilized, resulting in low energy utilization rate, wasting primary energy and generating a large amount of carbon emissions. The liquid slag discharge boiler is a boiler type with high combustion intensity, high slag capturing rate and small dust content in flue gas, which can effectively overcome the shortcomings of solid slag discharge boiler, such as slagging on water-cooled walls in the furnace, fouling of heating surfaces and the like when burning easy slagging coal. However, the liquid slag discharge boiler also has the problem of very large physical heat loss of ash and slag.

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the main treatment methods for the liquid slag discharge of the boiler in the prior art are mainly divided into water quenching method and dry method. The water quenching method has a fast cooling rate, and slag particles with high glass content can be easily obtained. However, the liquid slag has a very high temperature, about 1400℃ or so. When it is rapidly cooled and granulated by the 25℃ or so of the slag flushing cooling water, a large amount of heat will be released, a large amount of water vapor will be generated, and a large amount of slag flushing water with a temperature of about 85-90℃ will be generated. For a long time, this part of heat cannot be reasonably utilized, but is wasted, and the generated large amount of water vapor and slag flushing water will cause environmental heat pollution after being discharged into the environment. Moreover, when the slag flushing water is recycled, with the gradual increase of the temperature of the recycled slag flushing water, the liquid slag granulation rate will inevitably decrease, the coking amount in the granulation tank will increase, and in severe cases, slag blocking will occur, resulting in the shutdown of the boiler. Therefore, a large amount of new water must be supplemented to reduce the temperature of the recycled slag flushing water, which will consume a large amount of water resources, especially in areas lacking water resources, which will cause serious social harm. The dry method is to first granulate the slag liquid and then recover the waste heat. According to different granulation methods, it can be divided into mechanical crushing, air quenching and centrifugal granulation technology. Among them, the centrifugal granulation combined with the moving bed waste heat recovery technology does not consume water, has low energy consumption, obtains small-sized and high-quality slag particles, has a fast cooling rate, and has a high waste heat recovery rate. It is the preferred scheme for the treatment of liquid high-temperature molten slag. However, in order to further apply it in industrial production, three technical difficulties still need to be solved, i.e. complex composition of molten slag, high temperature, large change of physical properties, complex granulation process; non-steady-state complex heat transfer process of phase change particles coupled with mineral phase evolution under complex conditions is difficult to describe; information transmission of multi-phase, multi-parameter and multi-process of granulation-waste heat recovery is difficult.

[0004] To this end, the application provides a boiler liquid slag waste heat recycling system and method based on a cascade transcritical CO2 power cycle. SUMMARY

Another part of the air that has exchanged heat with the slag particles in the moving bed is slowly introduced into the granulation bin along the axial direction, exchanges heat with the high-temperature slag and the preliminarily cooled solid slag in the granulation bin, and then is discharged from the top of the granulation bin to form the waste heat conveying branch B, and the discharged air forms high-temperature air B, so as to fully realize the recovery of the waste heat of the slag in the granulation bin and the waste heat of the slag in the conveying process of the granulation bin and the moving bed, and further improve the cooling and granulation efficiency of the slag.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the slag buffer unit is composed of a slag ladle and a downcomer, the input end of the downcomer is connected with the output end of the slag ladle, and the output end of the downcomer is connected with the input end of the centrifugal granulation module, so as to convey the high-temperature liquid slag temporarily stored in the slag ladle to the centrifugal granulation unit through the downcomer.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the composite transcritical CO2 power cycle power generation assembly comprises a supercritical CO2 conveying flow line, a working medium pump, a generator A and a generator B, the input end of the supercritical CO2 conveying flow line is connected with the output end of the working medium pump, the CO2 in the saturated liquid state is adiabatically compressed to the supercritical state by the working medium pump, forms CO2 supercritical fluid, and then enters the supercritical CO2 conveying flow line; and comprises supercritical CO2 conveying flow line A and supercritical CO2 conveying flow line B.

[0017] The supercritical CO2 delivery flow line A comprises a supercritical heater, a high-temperature turbine and a regenerator connected in sequence, a part of the supercritical CO2 fluid enters the supercritical heater to absorb heat from the waste heat provided by the waste heat delivery flow line, and then enters the high-temperature turbine in a supercritical state to perform adiabatic expansion and drive the generator A to do work, and the exhaust steam of the high-temperature turbine enters the regenerator in a superheated state;

[0018] The supercritical CO2 delivery flow line B comprises a regenerator, a low-temperature turbine and a cooler connected in sequence, another part of the supercritical CO2 fluid enters the regenerator to absorb heat from the exhaust steam output by the high-temperature turbine, and forms a medium-temperature supercritical CO2 fluid; the medium-temperature supercritical CO2 fluid enters the low-temperature turbine to perform adiabatic expansion and drive the generator B to do work; and the exhaust steam of the low-temperature turbine enters the cooler to be cooled.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, a condenser is further included, the input end of the condenser is connected with the output end of the cooler and the output end of the regenerator respectively, and the cooler and the condenser both have a condensing backwater line, so that the exhaust steam of the high-temperature turbine output by the regenerator after absorbing heat and the exhaust steam of the low-temperature turbine output by the cooler after being cooled both enter the condenser to exchange heat with the condensing backwater line and are cooled to a saturated liquid state, so that the exhaust steam returns to the working medium pump in the form of saturated liquid CO2 to form a closed cycle.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the condensing backwater in the condensing backwater line comes from the condensing water of the steam turbine, is heated after heat exchange in the cooler and the condenser, and then enters the economizer as boiler feed water.

[0021] In order to avoid the fine ash entering the supercritical heater and affecting the working efficiency of the composite transcritical CO2 power cycle generating assembly, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the outlet of the waste heat recovery unit is further provided with a gas-solid separation device, which is used to remove fine ash to prevent the fine ash from entering the supercritical heater.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the centrifugal granulation unit is arranged below the molten slag buffer unit, and a flow control unit is further arranged between the centrifugal granulation unit and the molten slag buffer unit, the flow control unit is connected with the molten slag buffer unit and the centrifugal granulation unit respectively to control the flow rate and speed of the high-temperature liquid molten slag output from the molten slag buffer unit to the centrifugal granulation unit.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the boiler liquid slag waste heat recovery system based on the superposed transcritical CO2 power cycle further comprises an air preheater connected with the waste heat conveying flow line, receiving the air working medium after absorbing heat in the supercritical heater, and participating in the combustion of the pulverized coal.

[0024] The present application also provides a boiler liquid slag waste heat recovery method based on a superposed transcritical CO2 power cycle, which is implemented by using the above-mentioned boiler liquid slag waste heat recovery system based on the superposed transcritical CO2 power cycle and comprises the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: delivering the high-temperature liquid molten slag to the molten slag buffering unit for temporary storage.

[0026] It should be noted that the present application considers that the temperature of the high-temperature liquid molten slag that needs to be temporarily stored is about 1400℃, so the melting point of the material of the molten slag buffering unit needs to be higher than that of the high-temperature liquid molten slag. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the molten slag buffering unit is composed of a slag ladle and a downcomer, the input end of the downcomer is connected with the output end of the slag ladle, and the output end of the downcomer is connected with the input end of the centrifugal granulation module, so as to deliver the high-temperature liquid molten slag temporarily stored in the slag ladle to the centrifugal granulation unit through the downcomer. In order to ensure the safe storage of the liquid molten slag, refractory ceramics or heat-resistant alloys can be used as the manufacturing materials of the slag ladle and the downcomer, so as to ensure that they still have stable chemical stability and wear resistance at a high temperature of 1400℃.

[0027] Step 2: delivering the high-temperature liquid molten slag in the molten slag buffering unit to the centrifugal granulation unit for granulation treatment, so as to obtain molten slag particles and molten slag waste heat.

[0028] In order to improve the centrifugal granulation effect and make the high-temperature liquid molten slag in the molten slag buffering unit smoothly enter the centrifugal granulation unit, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the centrifugal granulation unit is arranged below the molten slag buffering unit, so as to make the high-temperature liquid molten slag in the molten slag buffering unit smoothly fall into the centrifugal granulation unit.

[0029] It should be noted that the present application is designed to ensure the safe operation of the unit, so the flow rate and speed of the high-temperature liquid molten slag when delivered to the centrifugal granulation unit are controlled, and when the liquid slag boiler needs to be adjusted for peak shaving or a fault occurs, the flow rate of the liquid molten slag will change. The molten slag buffering unit can ensure that the waste heat power generation unit still has stable waste heat supply within a certain period of time when the boiler operating condition changes, thereby providing a buffer space for the shutdown of the waste heat power generation unit. In addition to the same buffering effect as the molten slag buffering unit, the flow control unit can also indirectly control the high-temperature air temperature of the supercritical CO2 heat exchange, so as to determine the output power of the waste heat power generation unit.

[0030] And in a preferred embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the control of the flow and speed of the high-temperature liquid slag when it is transported to the centrifugal granulation unit, the present application sets a flow control unit between the centrifugal granulation unit and the slag buffer unit, so that the flow control unit is connected with the slag buffer unit and the centrifugal granulation unit respectively, so as to control the flow and speed of the high-temperature liquid slag output from the slag buffer unit to the centrifugal granulation unit.

[0031] Step 3: After the waste heat recovery unit absorbs the slag waste heat with air as the working medium, the waste heat delivery flow line provides a heat source for the supercritical CO2 power cycle power generation assembly.

[0032] It should be noted that in order to improve the recycling effect of slag waste heat on the basis of ensuring the processing cost, the present application preferably uses air as the working medium for recycling waste heat, absorbs the slag waste heat in the centrifugal granulation process, and releases the absorbed waste heat in the supercritical heater to provide a heat source for the supercritical heater.

[0033] And the present application considers that the air releasing heat still has a relatively high temperature, in order to further utilize the heat in the air after releasing heat, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, an air preheater is also provided, which is connected with the waste heat delivery flow line, receives the air working medium after absorbing heat in the supercritical heater, and participates in the combustion of the pulverized coal.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] The present application fully utilizes the advantage of the bottom cycle in improving the thermodynamic characteristics of the cycle by additionally increasing the output power of the bottom cycle under the premise of maintaining the top heat absorption process unchanged, so as to achieve the purpose of utilizing the waste heat of the liquid slag discharge furnace of the power plant. The bottom cycle of the present application can be understood as a supercritical CO2 power cycle with heat recovery measures, which has additional working medium for low-temperature turbine power generation compared with a single cycle.

[0036] The present application fully recycles and utilizes the high-temperature sensible heat of the turbine exhaust steam of the top cycle by setting a bottom cycle in the superposed transcritical CO2 power cycle generator set, additionally outputs net power, and reduces the average heat release temperature of the cycle and improves the cycle thermal efficiency.

[0037] Compared with the cycle with heat recovery (including simple heat recovery, re-compression cycle, etc.), the top cycle heat absorption process of the superposed cycle maintains good heat exchange matching characteristics and high waste heat utilization.

[0038] The present application uses air as the working medium of waste heat recovery, absorbs the waste heat of molten slag in the centrifugal granulation process, releases the absorbed waste heat in the supercritical heater to provide heat source for the supercritical heater, and the air with high temperature after releasing heat enters the air preheater to participate in the combustion of pulverized coal, which meets the energy saving requirement.

[0039] The boiler feed water is heated in the condenser and the cooler, and then enters the economizer, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency of the boiler.

[0040] The present application uses the centrifugal granulation technology to process the liquid slag of the boiler, and has the advantages of low energy consumption, small slag particle size, high quality, fast cooling rate and high waste heat recovery rate.

[0041] The present application uses the centrifugal granulation technology to process the liquid slag of the boiler, and has the advantages of low energy consumption, small slag particle size, high quality, fast cooling rate and high waste heat recovery rate.

[0042] The present application fully utilizes the high-temperature air heated by the centrifugal granulation technology, fully utilizes the high waste heat recovery efficiency of the centrifugal granulation, and obtains high-temperature air to avoid the supercritical CO2 approaching the near-critical region during heat exchange.

[0043] Figure 1 The present application is based on the structure of the boiler liquid slag waste heat recovery and utilization system of the present application.

[0044] Figure 2 The present application is based on the structure of the boiler liquid slag waste heat recovery and utilization system of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely.

[0046] In order to further recover the medium-high temperature flue gas waste heat, the prior art proposes that the heat absorption process of supercritical CO2 can be matched with the large temperature drop heat release process of flue gas to realize the recovery of medium-high temperature flue gas waste heat. However, when the supercritical CO2 cycle technology is directly applied to the recovery of medium-high temperature flue gas waste heat, the following problems exist: the working medium only passes through expansion work once in a single-stage transcritical cycle, and the exhaust steam still has a relatively high temperature, and directly treating it as waste will cause great energy waste. Although the regenerative, recompression and other cycle forms can reuse the sensible heat of the exhaust steam by adding an additional turbine, the increase of the inlet temperature of the working medium in the heat absorption process and the like will reduce the waste heat utilization efficiency, and therefore the output power of the unit is not obviously improved, but the construction cost of the unit is increased.
