Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomass technology, and in particular to an integrated biomass carbonization and pulverizing device and method. Background Art

[0002] Biomass gasification is the process of converting biomass (such as crop straw, forestry residues, etc.) into combustible gas or chemical raw materials, establishing a closed carbon cycle, and effectively utilizing the carbon in biomass waste. Producing chemical products such as methanol through biomass gasification can reduce carbon emissions from the source of the entire system, and even achieve zero-carbon chemical industry. At present, the main reactors are fixed-bed gasifiers, fluidized-bed gasifiers, and entrained-bed gasifiers. Among them, the entrained-bed gasifier can efficiently process biomass of various shapes and sizes (including powdered biomass) and has high gasification efficiency and synthesis gas quality. Using an entrained-bed pressurized gasifier to gasify biomass under high temperature and high pressure can greatly improve the biomass gasification efficiency and obtain high-conversion rate raw gas.

[0038] ​The raw material storage bin 1 is connected to the hopper 2, and the biomass material is transported to the exhaust gas heat recovery bin 10 through the hopper 2;

[0039] The exhaust gas heat recovery bin 10 heats the biomass material with the exhaust gas and then transports it to the carbonization and pulverization integrated equipment 6, outputting the exhaust gas after heat exchange;

[0040] The integrated carbonization and pulverizing equipment 6 includes a coal mill 61 and a baking tube 62. The coal mill 61 grinds and heats the biomass material. The material with a particle size that meets the first condition is sent to the baking tube 62 by hot air and is baked in the baking tube 62. After baking, the powder that meets the second condition is sent to the filter 3 by hot air. The powder that does not meet the second condition falls back to the coal mill 61.

[0042] The inert gas generator 5 is connected to the carbonization and pulverizing integrated equipment 6 and outputs heated gas to the coal mill 61 and the baking tube 62 respectively.

[0043] Wherein, in a preferred embodiment, the hopper 2 comprises a vibrating hopper. The hopper 2 can also be a common hopper, which does not include a vibration function and only realizes downward conveying of the hopper under the action of gravity.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a quantitative feeder 8, which is connected to the hopper 2 and the integrated carbonization and pulverization equipment 6 and quantitatively outputs the biomass material from the hopper 2 to the integrated carbonization and pulverization equipment 6. The quantitative feeder 8 can control the feed rate of the biomass raw material to the integrated carbonization and pulverization equipment 6, thereby adjusting the pulverization efficiency in the integrated carbonization and pulverization equipment 6 and the stability of the quality of the prepared powder.

[0045] The integrated carbonization and pulverizing equipment 6 includes a separator 63 and a powder return pipe (not shown in the figure). The separator 63 separates the received biomass material.

On the one hand, the organic components can be fully utilized to improve the yield of the device, and on the other hand, the environmental protection discharge of VOSC and the like in the exhaust gas can be completely solved.

[0051] By arranging the exhaust gas heat recovery bin 10, the heat recovery of the exhaust gas is realized. The exhaust gas at about 200 degrees Celsius is cooled by the raw materials in the exhaust gas heat recovery bin, so that the heat in the exhaust gas is fully recovered. By receiving the fuel gas and / or combustion-supporting gas in the inert gas generator 5, the fuel gas and / or combustion-supporting gas are heated by the exhaust gas received in the inert gas generator 5, so that the heat in the exhaust gas is further recovered, and the energy utilization efficiency is improved.
