Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coupled co-firing in thermal power plants, and specifically relates to a test system and method for improving the calorific value of co-firing biomass furfural slag. Background Art

[0002] Furfural residue is an industrial residue composed of cellulose and lignin, obtained by extracting furfural from biomass materials such as corncobs and removing the hemicellulose. It is acidic (pH approximately 2-3) and rich in combustible, high-calorific-value components such as carbon and hydrogen. When used as boiler fuel, it generates up to 3000 kCal / kg. In recent years, thermal power plants have leveraged the technology of co-firing biomass furfural residue in fluidized-bed boilers, enabling large-scale and cost-effective utilization of furfural residue. However, this technology presents numerous challenges. Its high moisture content and acidic, corrosive properties can cause bed temperature fluctuations, adversely affecting the denitrification system. Furthermore, the high alkali metal content in furfural residue results in a low ash melting point and severe caking issues.

[0003] Currently, furfural residue is only simply dried before use. However, this method reduces the calorific value of the furfural residue and makes it less effective for co-firing. For example, during the drying process, high temperatures can cause volatile organic compounds (such as light hydrocarbons) in the furfural residue to volatilize. These substances typically have a high calorific value, which leads to a decrease in the overall calorific value. During drying, the furfural residue may also undergo an oxidation reaction with oxygen in the air, producing oxides with lower calorific values, such as carbon dioxide and water. Water evaporation removes some heat, resulting in a decrease in the calorific value per unit mass of the material. High temperatures can cause the thermal decomposition of certain organic components in the furfural residue, producing products with lower calorific values. The partial conversion of organic matter to ash, which has a low calorific value, also reduces the overall calorific value. In addition, factors such as improper drying conditions, changes in material properties, sample inhomogeneity, or inaccurate measurement equipment can affect the calorific value of the furfural residue.

[0004] CN103551362A discloses a new process for the comprehensive utilization of agricultural residues. This process first hydrolyzes agricultural residues with acid to produce aldehyde vapor and furfural residue. The furfural residue is filtered and dried, then neutralized with fly ash. After neutralization, the residue is pelletized to produce biomass fuel. The biomass fuel is burned for biomass power generation, while the solid waste generated after combustion is reused as a raw material for organic fertilizer. While this method utilizes the furfural residue, it still suffers from high energy consumption during the pretreatment of the furfural residue.

[0005] CN108530404A discloses a method for depolymerizing biomass to co-produce furfural, cellulose, and lignin. This method involves catalyzing the depolymerization and separation of biomass in a mixed solvent of water and acetone, using phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid in a single step. This method effectively reduces the reaction temperature and time for furfural production, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, and significantly lowering the production cost of furfural products. However, this method still faces challenges in optimizing reaction conditions to further improve furfural yield and lignin and cellulose separation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Control the rotation speed of the pyrolysis furnace, etc.

[0036] The combustion test unit 3 feeds the pyrolysis products into the combustion test unit 3. Based on the characteristics of the pyrolysis products, the adjustable graded air distribution device 20 adjusts the volume and speed of the primary air 21, secondary air 22, and tertiary air 23, igniting the pyrolysis products for a combustion test. Simultaneously, an intelligent control unit 35 monitors various parameters during the combustion process in real time and automatically adjusts parameters such as air distribution and temperature based on the monitoring data to ensure a stable combustion process and maximize calorific value.

[0038] Data monitoring and analysis: Throughout the test, sensors 24 collect data such as moisture content, temperature, pressure, and gas composition in real time and transmit them to the intelligent control unit 35. After the test, the collected data is analyzed to evaluate the test results and provide a basis for subsequent optimization.

[0039] The raw material pretreatment unit 1 for biomass furfural residue 4 utilizes a multi-stage drying device 5 and a conditioning device 9, employing low-temperature, staged drying technology. The first drying stage 6 is controlled at a temperature of 50-60°C to remove most surface moisture. The second drying stage 7 is raised to 70-80°C to further reduce internal moisture. During the drying process, protective nitrogen gas 8 is introduced to reduce oxygen exposure and oxidation. The conditioning equipment is equipped with a stirring mechanism 10. By adding an alkaline regulator 11, such as calcium hydroxide, the acidity of the furfural residue is neutralized, adjusting the pH to 6-7 and reducing acidic corrosion.

[0040] The pyrolysis reaction unit 2 uses a rotary pyrolysis furnace 12, and a spiral propulsion blade 13 is installed inside the furnace body to make the furfural slag advance in a spiral shape in the furnace, increasing the pyrolysis time and reaction area. The pyrolysis furnace is equipped with a precise temperature zoning control system 14, which can divide the furnace body into a preheating zone 15, a pyrolysis zone 16, and a carbonization zone 17, respectively controlling the temperature at 200-250°C, 400-500°C, and 600-700°C, to achieve gradient pyrolysis of the furfural slag. During the pyrolysis stage, a pulse heating method 32 is adopted, that is, heating is stopped after a period of heating, allowing the furfural slag to continue to react under the residual heat. This cycle avoids local overheating that leads to excessive decomposition of organic components and improves the retention rate of high calorific value components.

[0041] The combustion chamber 18 of the combustion test unit 3 is coated with a high-temperature, corrosion-resistant ceramic coating 19 to reduce corrosion from acidic substances and high-temperature ash.

Leveraging big data analysis and machine learning algorithms, the system automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the test system based on a preset calorific value 31 improvement target, achieving intelligent control of the test process.

[0043] Through the deployment of the experimental system, the combustion rate, gasification equivalent, moisture content, pyrolysis layer accumulation thickness, etc. of the fuel are optimized, so that the high calorific value components of lignin in the furfural residue can be optimally utilized under the re-combustion conditions, thereby maximizing the calorific value of the furfural residue combustion.

[0044] The present invention provides a test system and method for enhancing the calorific value of biomass furfural slag by co-firing. The system includes a raw material pretreatment unit 1, a pyrolysis reaction unit 2, a combustion test unit 3, and an intelligent control unit 35. A multi-stage drying unit protected by nitrogen 8 further reduces the moisture content of the biomass furfural slag raw material 4, effectively preventing oxidation reactions.

[0045] An alkaline regulator 11 is added to the tempering equipment to neutralize the acidity of the furfural slag, effectively reducing acid corrosion. The spiral propulsion blades 13 of the rotary pyrolysis furnace 12 are used to make the furfural slag advance in a spiral shape in the furnace, increasing the pyrolysis time and reaction area. The temperature zoning control system of the pyrolysis furnace realizes the gradient pyrolysis of the furfural slag. The pulse heating method can avoid local overheating and excessive decomposition of organic components, thereby improving the retention rate of high calorific value components. The inner wall of the combustion chamber 18 is coated with a high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant ceramic coating 19 to reduce the corrosion of acidic substances and high-temperature ash. According to the characteristics of the pyrolysis products, the adjustable graded air distribution device 20 accurately controls the air volume and wind speed to optimize the combustion rate and gasification equivalent. According to the preset calorific value, the intelligent control unit 35 automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the test system to realize intelligent regulation of the test process.

[0046] The system of the present invention improves the technology and method: 1. Improved technical performance. The combustion calorific value of furfural slag is increased by over 30% compared to traditional simple drying methods, effectively resolving the issue of reduced calorific value found in existing technologies. By neutralizing acidity and optimizing combustion conditions, the system reduces bed temperature fluctuations from ±50°C to ±15°C, improving fluidized bed boiler operation stability. Furthermore, it mitigates acid corrosion and adhesion issues, extending the equipment's service life by 2-3 years.

[0047] 2. Significant economic benefits have been achieved. The utilization efficiency of furfural residue has been improved, reducing the thermal power plant's reliance on traditional fossil fuels, with an estimated annual fuel cost savings of approximately 5 million yuan. Equipment maintenance and replacement frequency has also been reduced, saving approximately 800,000 yuan in equipment maintenance costs annually.

[0048] 3. Achieved significant social benefits.
