[0023] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0024] The organic solid waste smoldering treatment system of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the organic solid waste smoldering treatment system of this invention includes: a smoldering furnace 1, a gas supply component 2, a condensation device 3, a flue gas treatment component, a flue gas compression device 6, and a liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 7.
[0026] The smoldering furnace 1 has a feed end 101 and a discharge end 102. The smoldering furnace 1 includes a bottom furnace section 11, an outer furnace section 12, and a top furnace section 13 connected sequentially in a vertical direction. The cross-sectional areas of the bottom furnace section 11 and the top furnace section 13 are both smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outer furnace section 12. Air inlets are provided on the lower end faces of both the bottom furnace section 11 and the outer furnace section 12, and a flue gas outlet is provided on the top furnace section 13. The gas supply assembly 2 is connected to multiple air inlets via pipelines. The flue gas outlet is connected to the input end of the condensing device 3 via pipelines. The output end of the condensing device 3 is connected to the input end of the flue gas treatment assembly via pipelines. The flue gas treatment assembly is used for desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal of the flue gas. The flue gas compression device 6 has a gas input end, a gas output end, and a liquid output end. The output end of the flue gas treatment assembly is connected to the gas input end via pipelines. The gas output end is connected to the smoldering furnace 1 via pipelines, and the liquid output end is connected to the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 7 via pipelines.
[0027] The organic solid waste smoldering treatment system of this invention employs smoldering treatment technology, which involves homogenizing organic solid waste with a porous medium and then using a smoldering furnace 1 to achieve self-sustaining smoldering treatment of the organic solid waste. Compared with related technologies such as drying and incineration, smoldering treatment technology has the advantages of low energy consumption, safety, high efficiency, and flexible treatment.
[0028] Optionally, the smoldering furnace 1 is cylindrical in shape and is constructed by sequentially wrapping it with refractory bricks, insulating cotton, and stainless steel. From bottom to top, the smoldering furnace 1 consists of a bottom furnace section 11, an outer furnace section 12, and a top furnace section 13. The bottom furnace section 11 and the top furnace section 13 have the same cross-sectional area, but the cross-sectional area of the bottom furnace section 11 is smaller than that of the top furnace section 13.
[0029] Understandably, organic solid waste is fed into the smoldering furnace 1 through the feed end 101, and the smoldering organic solid waste is discharged from the smoldering furnace 1 through the discharge end 102. The gas supply device ventilates the smoldering furnace 1 through the air inlet (hot air or ambient temperature air), and the high-temperature flue gas generated by smoldering is discharged through the flue gas outlet. The high-temperature flue gas is transported to the condenser 3 for cooling, and the cooled flue gas is then treated by the flue gas treatment device for desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal before being transported to the flue gas compression device 6 for compression. The liquid carbon dioxide obtained from the compression is transported to the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 7 for storage, and the remaining combustible gases (methane, carbon monoxide) from the compression are reintroduced into the smoldering furnace 1, thereby recovering the calorific value of the combustible gases.
[0030] The flue gas compression device 6 utilizes the different critical temperatures and critical pressures of different gases to capture carbon dioxide in the smoldering exhaust gas. Furthermore, during the smoldering treatment of organic solid waste in the smoldering furnace 1, the air intake flow rate can be adjusted via the gas supply device, and organic solid waste can be added at the feed end 101 as needed to control the degree of combustion of organic solid waste in the smoldering furnace 1, thereby achieving complete treatment of the organic solid waste.
[0031] For ease of description, the air inlet on the outer furnace section 12 is referred to as the outer furnace air inlet, and the air inlet on the bottom furnace section 11 is referred to as the bottom furnace air inlet. There are multiple outer furnace air inlets, which are distributed circumferentially around the lower end face of the outer furnace section 12 and close to its edge. The bottom furnace air inlet is located at the center of the bottom furnace section 11. Thus, by providing multiple air inlets, it is further ensured that the organic solid waste inside the smoldering furnace 1, especially near the edge of the smoldering furnace 1, is completely burned.
[0032] Therefore, the organic solid waste smoldering treatment system of this embodiment controls the degree of combustion of organic solid waste in the smoldering furnace 1 by adjusting the air inlet flow rate of the smoldering furnace 1, ensuring complete combustion of the organic solid waste in the smoldering furnace 1. Furthermore, by re-introducing the combustible gases from the smoldering exhaust gas into the smoldering furnace 1, the calorific value of the exhaust gas is effectively utilized, improving the smoldering treatment efficiency of solid waste and the system stability.
[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer furnace section 12 is provided with an outer furnace air distribution plate 121, which is connected to the air inlet on the outer furnace section 12. The bottom furnace section 11 is provided with a bottom furnace air distribution plate 111, which is connected to the air inlet on the bottom furnace section 11.
[0034] Optionally, the outer furnace air distribution plate 121 is annular, and the size of the central through hole of the outer furnace air distribution plate 121 is the same as the size of the opening at the connection between the bottom furnace part 11 and the outer furnace part 12. The outer furnace air distribution plate 121 is located at the bottom of the outer furnace part 12, and the bottom furnace air distribution plate 111 is located at the bottom of the bottom furnace part 11. Both the outer furnace air distribution plate 121 and the bottom furnace air distribution plate 111 are used to support the material added to the smoldering furnace 1 and to evenly distribute the air transported to the smoldering furnace 1 through the air inlet.
[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple feeding ends 101, which are located on the top furnace section 13 and the outer furnace section 12, respectively. There are also multiple unloading ends 102, which are located on the bottom furnace section 11 and the outer furnace section 12, respectively. Thus, by providing multiple feeding ends 101 and unloading ends 102, the feeding efficiency and discharge efficiency are improved.
[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air supply assembly 2 includes a fan 21, multiple regulating switches 22, and multiple air heaters 23. The fan 21 is connected to multiple air inlets via pipelines. Each pipeline connecting the fan 21 to any air inlet is equipped with a regulating switch 22 and an air heater 23.
[0037] The regulating switch 22 is used to control the opening and closing of the pipeline between the blower 21 and the air inlet, as well as the air intake flow rate. The air heater 23 is used to heat the air delivered by the blower 21 to the combustion furnace 1. There are multiple air intake pipelines between the blower 21 and multiple air inlets, and each air intake pipeline is equipped with a regulating switch 22 and an air heater 23.
[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gas output end is connected to the pipeline between the blower 21 and the regulating switch 22, so that the regulating switch 22 controls the flow rate of combustible gas delivered by the flue gas compression device 6 to the smoldering furnace 1.
[0039] In some embodiments, the flue gas treatment assembly includes a dry desulfurization device 4 and an integrated denitrification and dust removal device 5. The output end of the condensation device 3 is connected to the input end of the dry desulfurization device 4 via a pipeline, the output end of the dry desulfurization device 4 is connected to the input end of the integrated denitrification and dust removal device 5 via a pipeline, and the output end of the integrated denitrification and dust removal device 5 is connected to the gas input end via a pipeline.
[0040] The following describes a method for treating smoldering organic solid waste according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0041] The organic solid waste smoldering treatment method of this invention, used in the organic solid waste smoldering treatment system of any of the above embodiments, includes: thoroughly mixing organic solid waste and medium sand at a ratio of 3:1, and then adding the mixture into the smoldering furnace 1 through the feed end 101. Hot air is introduced into the smoldering furnace 1 by the air supply component 2, and after the temperature inside the smoldering furnace 1 reaches a preset value, ambient temperature air is introduced into the smoldering furnace 1 to cause smoldering of the organic solid waste. The flue gas generated by smoldering in the smoldering furnace 1 is transported to the condensing device 3 through the exhaust port for cooling, and the cooled flue gas is transported to the flue gas treatment device for desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal. The flue gas after desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal is transported to the flue gas compression device 6 for compression, and the liquid carbon dioxide generated by the compression is transported to the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 7 for storage. The remaining combustible gas after compression is transported back to the smoldering furnace 1.
[0042] In some embodiments, the preset temperature of the smoldering furnace 1 is 500°C.
[0043] In some embodiments, during the flue gas cooling process, the temperature of the condenser 3 is set to 30-50°C. During the flue gas compression process, the operating conditions of the flue gas compression device 6 are set to a pressure of 7.40 MPa and a temperature of 30°C.
[0044] In summary, specifically, firstly, organic solid waste and medium sand are thoroughly mixed at a ratio of 3:1, and then fed into the smoldering furnace 1 through the feed ends 101 on the top furnace section 13 and the outer furnace section 12, respectively. Then, the regulating switches 22 and air heaters 23 on each air inlet pipe are opened, and the blower 21 introduces hot air into the smoldering furnace 1 through the air heaters 23. After the temperature inside the smoldering furnace 1 reaches 500°C, the air heaters 23 are turned off, and room temperature air is introduced into the smoldering furnace 1 to cause the organic solid waste to smolder.
[0045] During the treatment process in the smoldering furnace 1, the air intake flow of the smoldering furnace 1 can be controlled by adjusting switch 22, and organic solid waste can be added in a timely manner to control the degree of combustion of organic solid waste in the smoldering furnace 1, so as to achieve complete treatment of organic solid waste. After the treatment is completed, the waste is unloaded through unloading end 102.
[0046] The flue gas generated during the smoldering process is discharged through the exhaust port and sequentially processed by a condenser 3, a dry desulfurization unit 4, an integrated denitrification and dust removal unit 5, and a flue gas compression unit 6. The liquid carbon dioxide obtained from the compression process is transported to a liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 7 for storage. The remaining combustible gas after compression is reintroduced into the smoldering furnace 1. The temperature of the condenser 3 is controlled between 30-50℃, and the operating conditions of the flue gas compression unit 6 are set at a pressure of 7.40 MPa and a temperature of 30℃.
