[0001] This invention relates to a dry co-firing device for sludge from a waste incineration power plant and an alkali metal removal agent, belonging to the field of waste treatment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Municipal solid waste incineration technology can reduce and render municipal solid waste harmless, and also achieve resource recovery through energy recycling. In the waste treatment process, sludge is a significant byproduct of leachate collection and treatment. Generally, collected sludge is sprayed back into the waste pit or hopper, mixed with the waste, and then treated harmlessly through high-temperature combustion. Current treatment methods have shortcomings in engineering applications, including: easy accumulation of sludge on the feeder, incomplete combustion, small processing capacity, and significant impact on combustion conditions. There is also the issue of some sludge being returned to the leachate recovery system. Furthermore, due to the relatively high content of alkali metals sodium and potassium in municipal solid waste, the combustion produces gaseous alkali metals and low-ash-melting-point fly ash, which easily form a sticky bottom layer on the heating surface, leading to ash deposition, blockage of the heating surface, and reduced heat transfer efficiency. Currently, there is no effective method to solve the problems of sludge treatment and ash deposition caused by alkali metals in waste-to-energy incineration plants. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this technical field for a device for high-temperature treatment of sludge and suppression of ash deposition on heated surfaces, which is of great significance for waste treatment and energy recovery.

[0008] Preferably, the shut-off valve assembly is in the normally closed state.

[0009] Preferably, the high-level secondary air nozzles have ≥2 layers and are arranged in the first flue at the furnace outlet; the low-level secondary air nozzles have ≥2 layers, with at least one layer of low-level secondary air nozzles arranged on the front arch wall and the rear arch wall; the spraying area of ​​the secondary air nozzles on the front arch wall and the rear arch wall is above the drying section and the combustion section.
