Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of coal quality detection, and particularly relates to a coal quality rapid detection method based on a thermal gravimetric curve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The detection methods of coal quality are generally chemical methods and physical methods. At present, the coal quality detection of coal-fired power plants usually adopts a chemical method to analyze the required coal quality. In the past, the sampling, sample preparation, and testing steps in the laboratory need to be specifically completed, and it takes a long time to obtain the coal quality information. Therefore, the thermal efficiency of the boiler cannot be analyzed in real time.

[0003] At present, there are methods for analyzing the combustion characteristics of coal quality by using thermal gravimetric analysis, such as traditional industrial analysis and a thermal gravimetric analyzer. The coal quality loses weight through heating, combustion, and pyrolysis, and the weight loss data is analyzed to obtain a certain component parameter of the coal quality. However, in the prior art, the industrial analysis method needs to use a series of instruments such as a muffle furnace, an oven, an analytical balance, and a dryer. The experimental process is complicated, and each time the component parameter needs to be obtained by repeatedly sampling, weighing, and calculating after weighing and testing. Although the thermal gravimetric analyzer can realize integrated measurement of multiple component parameters, the heating conditions of these component parameters are different. For example, the moisture content, ash content, and volatile matter content need to be measured separately under different heating conditions, and the measurement efficiency is low.

[0004] In addition, the existing technology uses Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy to detect coal quality. However, the spectrum has many limiting factors, and the requirements for the environment and the sample are higher than those of thermal gravimetric analysis. The measured system is easily polluted by the outside world, which greatly affects the analysis results. Moreover, the instrument for the spectroscopy method is also expensive. SUMMARY

Then, a TGA experiment is performed on the coal sample to be tested to obtain its TGA curve. The TGA characteristic parameters of the coal sample are obtained from the TGA curve and matched with the TGA-coal quality correlation database to obtain the mapping relationship. Based on the mapping relationship, the moisture, volatile matter, ash content, and fixed carbon of the coal sample are calculated, achieving rapid and accurate measurement of coal composition. This invention's detection method is simple to operate, low in cost, and saves time and effort. A single TGA experiment can simultaneously obtain the moisture, volatile matter, ash content, and fixed carbon of the coal sample. It has low requirements for the testing environment and sample, is not easily affected by external contamination, and has a wide range of applications, well adapting to the complexity of various coal samples in power plants, mining, and other production processes.

[0044] In particular, for thermogravimetric curves obtained at ultra-high heating rates, such as heating rates of 1000–6000 °C / min, the detection method of this invention can also accurately obtain coal quality parameters. This not only significantly increases the upper limit of heating rate for coal quality analysis and detection, but also greatly shortens the detection time. It is also beneficial for real-time analysis of boiler thermal efficiency and is very suitable for rapid detection of large batches of coal samples. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The principle and method of rapid coal quality detection based on comprehensive photoluminescence spectral analysis, as described in this invention, will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Photothermal rapid heating technology is a technique that achieves rapid heating based on concentrated light irradiation. Photothermal rapid heating thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) utilizes this technology to perform thermogravimetric experiments on samples, obtaining the thermogravimetric curves of the sample under concentrated light irradiation heating. The following examples all use photothermal rapid heating technology to obtain thermogravimetric curves at ultra-high heating rates. The photothermal rapid heating technology used can be the heating system described in "CN113867445A - A Rapid Heating System Based on Concentrated Light Heating and Thermogravimetric Analysis Method".

[0053] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to photothermal heating; other heating methods can also be used to rapidly raise the temperature and obtain the thermogravimetric curve.

[0054] The main components of coal in industrial analysis (coal quality composition) include moisture (M), volatile matter (V), fixed carbon (Fc), and ash (A). The moisture content of coal is determined by weighing a certain amount of general analytical test coal sample, placing it in a drying oven at (105–110) degrees Celsius, drying it in a dry nitrogen stream until the mass is constant, and then calculating the mass fraction of the moisture based on the mass loss of the coal sample. The volatile matter content of coal is the mass loss after heating the coal sample under specified conditions in the absence of air and correcting for moisture content. The ash content of coal is the residue obtained after the complete combustion of the coal sample under certain conditions. Ash is not an inherent substance in coal but is the residue after the complete combustion of minerals. Volatile matter Fcad = 100% - (Mad + Vad + Aad), where ad represents the air-dried basis.

[0055] This invention has found that during the thermogravimetric analysis of coal samples, the weight loss rates of different components of the coal sample are significantly different, which is specifically reflected in the characteristics of the weight loss curve. Therefore, it proposes to obtain the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters by analyzing the weight loss curve and to establish the mapping relationship between the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters and each component.

[0056] The following specific embodiments will be used to describe in detail the method for rapid coal quality detection using the technical solution of the present invention.

[0057] <Example 1>

[0058] The rapid coal quality detection method based on thermogravimetric curves provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0059] 1) Establish a photothermal-coal quality database under concentrated irradiation rapid heating: Select various coal samples with different coal ranks and different ash contents, grind standard coal into powder as coal samples, and conduct photothermal rapid heating thermogravimetric experiments on the coal samples respectively.

[0060] In this embodiment, the standard coal selected for database establishment is unmixed coal, covering various coals with different ranks and ash contents. Unmixed raw coal is preferred, and as many coal types as possible are selected to ensure the comprehensiveness and broad applicability of the database. During database establishment, the coal quality composition of the standard coal was obtained through industrial analysis according to GB / T212-2008, and the same standard basis was used for different standard coals; all standards were based on an air-dry basis.

[0061] 1a) The thermogravimetric curves obtained through rapid photothermal heating thermogravimetric experiments need to be preprocessed. Preprocessing includes baseline removal, that is, a blank thermogravimetric experiment with the same method and benchmark as the formal experiment needs to be performed before the formal experiment to obtain a blank baseline. The expansion of gas in a high-temperature atmosphere will generate a certain buoyancy on the object, resulting in weight loss. Therefore, a blank experiment is performed before the formal experiment.

[0062] 1b) Data analysis of the thermogravimetric curves, including differential smoothing and peak analysis. The specific steps of differential smoothing are as follows:

[0063] The thermogravimetric curve is processed using the first-order derivative. The resulting differential curve needs to be smoothed further. The smoothing window number is between 65 and 70 points. If it is too large, the differential curve will be distorted during the smoothing process, causing changes in relevant characteristic parameters. If it is too small, the differential curve characteristics will be unclear, making it difficult to select characteristic parameters. Since the differential spectrum still has many spikes after the first smoothing, a second smoothing process is performed on the smoothed curve. The smoothing window number is also between 65 and 70 points. At this point, the differential curve is basically free of spikes, yielding the first-order differential curve. Then, the first-order differential curve is processed again using the first-order derivative to obtain the second-order differential curve, which does not require further smoothing.

[0064] 1c) Peak analysis mainly involves calculating the peak area of ​​the characteristic peaks of the first-order differential curve. Figure 3 It is clear that feature peak A, feature peak B, and the remaining portion are referred to here as feature region C. The steps for obtaining each feature peak and feature region are as follows:

[0065] Draw the zero-value reference line of the vertical axis of the second-order differential curve in step 1b). Take three points a1, b1, and c1 from the intersection points of the second-order differential curve. Take the x-coordinate values ​​of the above three points to correspond to the first-order differential curves a2, b2, and c2 respectively. Use the x-coordinate values ​​of these three points as the boundary lines of characteristic peak A, characteristic peak B, and characteristic region C. Then take the zero-value reference line of the vertical axis of the first-order differential curve and intersect the end of the first-order differential curve at point d. The area enclosed by the x-coordinate values ​​of points c and d is region C.

[0066] Perform peak area integration on characteristic peak A, characteristic peak B, and the entire region formed by A, B, and C respectively. Use the absolute peak area values ​​of characteristic peak A and characteristic peak B as thermogravimetric characteristic parameters x1 and x2, and then calculate the thermogravimetric characteristic parameter x3 = 100 - the absolute peak area value of the entire region.

[0067] The mapping relationships between the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters x1, x2, and x3 and the moisture (M), volatile matter (V), and ash (A) components of the coal sample under industrial analysis were calculated to establish a database relating the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters to coal composition under rapid heating under concentrated irradiation. A mapping curve can be plotted with the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters as the x-axis and the coal sample's industrial analysis components as the y-axis.

[0068] The mapping relationship between thermogravimetric characteristic parameters and coal quality industrial analysis parameters was obtained through the above calculations and analysis, and a thermogravimetric-coal quality database under rapid heating by concentrated irradiation was established.

[0069] 2) Perform the same rapid heating thermogravimetric experiment on the unknown coal as in step 1) and on the benchmark, and perform the same preprocessing and data analysis on the obtained thermogravimetric curve of the unknown coal as in step 1) to obtain the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters of the coal sample to be tested.

[0070] 3) Match the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters of the coal sample to be tested obtained in step 2) with the established thermogravimetric-coal quality database under rapid photothermal heating. Based on the mapping relationship between the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters and the coal quality components, obtain the coal quality components such as M, V, A, and Fc of the coal sample to be tested.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment:

[0072] First, 26 standard coals of different ranks and ash contents were taken, ground to 74-105 μm, and numbered 1-26, and industrial analysis was performed on each. The results were obtained on an air-dried basis.

[0073] Then, rapid photothermal heating thermogravimetric analysis was conducted on these 26 types of coal. Each type of coal underwent at least three experiments, and the data from the two most reproducible experiments were used for subsequent analysis. The weight loss spectra of some standard coals were also analyzed. Figure 1 As shown. Experimental conditions for the rapid heating thermogravimetric experiment: heating rate of 1000℃ / min, final temperature of 900℃, constant temperature for 2.5min, air atmosphere, coal weight of 5-6mg.

[0074] Subsequently, the obtained weightlessness spectrum was preprocessed and analyzed. The preprocessed weightlessness curve and first-order differential curve are shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters were obtained by analyzing the above method;

[0075] Next, the mapping relationship between the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters and the industrial analytical composition parameters of the coal sample was calculated, and a photothermal-coal quality database under concentrated irradiation rapid heating was established. Taking the mapping relationship between parameter x3 and coal ash content (A) as an example, the thermogravimetric characteristic parameter x3 was used as the abscissa, and the industrial analytical composition of the coal sample ash content (A) was used as the ordinate, and the mapping relationship curve between the two was plotted as follows. Figure 3 As shown.

[0076] The following is the mathematical model of the mapping relationship:

[0077] Mad (moisture): y=1.66746*x1-0.11167*x1 2 +0.01137*x1 3 -3.81E -4 *x1 4 ;

[0078] Vad (volatile matter): y = 0.52266*x² + 0.07022*x² 2 -0.00297*x2 3 -4.04E -5 *x2 4 ;

[0079] Aad (ash content): y = 0.69668 * x³ - 3.38E -6 *x3 2 +4.10E -4 *x3 3 -6.24E -6 *x3 4 ;

[0080] Fcad (fixed carbon) = 100 - Mad - Aad - Vad.

[0081] Following the above process, a rapid photothermal heating thermogravimetric experiment was conducted on the raw coal to be tested using the same method and benchmark. The thermogravimetric characteristic parameters of the raw coal to be tested were obtained according to the above processing and analysis methods, as shown in Table 1.

[0082] Table 1

[0083] Coal sample Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Raw coal 1 to be tested 11.65 24.02 8.08 Raw coal 2 to be tested 2.62 26.62 28.28 Raw coal 3 to be tested 1.58 6.76 27.74 Raw coal 4 to be tested 1.32 11.67 22.53

[0084] The calculated thermogravimetric characteristic parameters of the raw coal to be tested were input into the photothermal-coal quality correlation database. The content of the above-mentioned coal quality components finally measured in this application example is shown in Table 2.

[0085] Table 2

[0086] Coal sample Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Raw coal 1 to be tested 15.11 25.33 5.82 Raw coal 2 to be tested 3.81 27.89 24.96 Raw coal 3 to be tested 2.38 5.83 24.39 Raw coal 4 to be tested 1.92 12.08 19.24

[0087] The comparison and differences between the coal composition parameters obtained from industrial analysis and those obtained are shown in Table 3:

[0088] Table 3

[0089] Coal sample Moisture Difference Volatile matter Difference Ash content Difference Coal sample 1 to be tested 14.34 -0.77 24.91 -0.42 6.85 1.03 Coal sample 2 to be tested 3.01 -0.80 28.27 0.38 25.64 0.68 Coal sample 3 to be tested 1.83 -0.55 7.53 1.70 23.14 -1.25 Coal sample 4 to be tested 2.59 0.67 12.7 0.62 18.12 -1.12

[0090] Observing the differences, the errors of each parameter of the four types of raw coal to be tested are basically within 2%, which is in line with expectations and confirms that the test results of this scheme are accurate and reliable.

[0091] <Example 2>

[0092] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 lies only in the analysis and processing of the thermogravimetric curves to obtain the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters and the resulting mapping relationship. The differences will be described below, and identical content will not be repeated.

[0093] 1b) Data analysis of the thermogravimetric curves, including differential smoothing and peak analysis. The specific steps of differential smoothing are as follows:

[0094] The weightlessness spectrum was processed by first-order differential, and then smoothed twice, with the number of window points for each smoothing process being between 100 and 120.

[0095] Gaussian curve fitting was used, and the number of peaks was 6; peak selection: as follows Figure 4 As shown, draw a second-order differential curve, take the reference line Y = 0, and take a1, b1, c1, d1, e1, f1 as the peak centers of peak A, peak B, peak C, peak D, peak E, and peak F from the intersection points of the two.

[0096] In the second-order differential curve, a1 and b1 vertically correspond to a2 and b2 in the first-order differential curve. a2 and b2 are the apexes of peaks A and B, respectively, determined using the same method as in Example 1. As for points c, d, e, and f, which are in region C, adjustments need to be made based on the actual fitting results. Initially, points c1 to f1 are selected, corresponding to the x-coordinates of c2 to f2. The x-coordinates of c2 to f2 are used as the centers of peaks C to F. c1 to f1 are taken as the intersection points of the second-order differential curve and the zero-value reference. Points are selected according to constraints (where c1 ranges from t = 70 to 105, d1 from t = 105 to 140, e1 from t = 140 to 170, and f1 from t = 170 to 200, with the distance between points kept as close as possible to t = 25 to 35). Then, in the fitting control, before iteration, the positions of points c1 to f1 are not fixed. Iteration continues until convergence. If R... 2 If R > 0.98 and still meets the constraints, the fitting is complete.

[0097] The thermogravimetric characteristic parameters were selected as the areas of peak A and peak B, and the total peak areas of A to F, IA, IB, and S. IA and IB were used as thermogravimetric characteristic parameters x1 and x2, and 100-S was used as thermogravimetric characteristic parameter x3. These parameters were matched with the moisture, volatile matter, and ash content from industrial analysis to calculate the mapping relationship and establish a thermogravimetric-coal quality database.

[0098] like Figure 5 As shown in Example 2, 10 types of standard coal were selected, and the thermogravimetric characteristic parameters and industrial analysis composition parameters obtained according to the standard processing and analysis procedures are as follows:

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] Taking the mapping relationship between parameter 1 and coal sample moisture as an example, with the thermogravimetric characteristic parameter x3 as the abscissa and the moisture content of the coal sample as the ordinate, a mapping relationship curve is plotted. This mapping relationship is as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0102] The following is the mathematical model of the mapping relationship:

[0103] Mad (moisture): y = 2.09922*x1 - 0.05641x1 2 +4.88989E -4 *x1 3 -0.0643;

[0104] Vad (volatile matter): y = 1.48033*x² - 0.02023*x² 2 +1.38228E -4 *x2 3 ;

[0105] Aad (ash content): y = 0.73469*x³ + 0.003*x³ 2 +6.84111E -5 *x3 3 ;

[0106] Fcad (fixed carbon) = 100 - Mad - Aad - Vad.
