Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of energy combustion utilization, and particularly relates to a thermal carbon co-production boiler for biomass pyrolysis coupled with direct combustion. Background Art

[0002] Biomass is the fourth largest energy source after coal, oil, and natural gas. It has a large resource volume, wide distribution, is renewable, and has zero CO2 emissions during combustion, thus attracting the attention of many scholars. It mainly includes agricultural and forestry waste, domestic waste, oil plants, and so on.

[0003] The main existing technologies for the development and utilization of biomass energy include direct combustion, thermochemical conversion, and biochemical conversion. Pyrolysis is an important method for the thermochemical conversion of biomass energy. Biomass can produce biomass gas through pyrolysis gasification and biomass tar and biomass carbon through pyrolysis liquefaction. The principle of biomass pyrolysis is that biomass absorbs heat under anaerobic or low-oxygen conditions, and the organic matter in it is converted into utilizable gas, carbon, and oil. Biomass carbon formed by biomass pyrolysis has been widely used in various industries due to its high carbon content, rich plant nutrients, abundant pore structure, and large specific surface area. For example, activated carbon is used to adsorb the color, odor, and heavy metals in wastewater; it is a commonly used ideal catalyst and an electrode material for supercapacitors, and so on.

[0004] The utility model patent "An efficient biomass pyrolysis carbonization furnace" (application number: 202220504916.0) discloses an efficient biomass pyrolysis carbonization furnace. This patented technology pyrolyzes biomass by using the high-temperature flue gas formed by burning part of the pyrolysis gas to generate pyrolysis gas, thereby realizing the combustion and heat supply of its own pyrolysis gas. However, this patented technical solution has problems such as low pyrolysis efficiency and tar condensation blocking pipelines.

[0005] Through the research of scholars, the biomass pyrolysis technology has been relatively mature, but there are still problems such as tar condensation blocking equipment during transportation, high nitrogen oxide emissions, and high pyrolysis energy consumption. Therefore, the invention proposes a thermal carbon co-production boiler for biomass pyrolysis coupled with direct combustion to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the invention is to provide a thermal carbon co-production boiler for biomass pyrolysis coupled with direct combustion. By adopting a grate boiler, the efficient utilization of biomass pyrolysis gas products is realized, and problems such as equipment blockage caused by pyrolysis tar condensation are solved. The pyrolysis gas in the spiral cylinder is directly injected into the upper arch area for combustion. Since the transportation distance is short and the temperature of the transportation space is high, there is no problem of tar condensation blocking the pipeline during the transportation of pyrolysis gas.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A hot charcoal co-production boiler integrating biomass pyrolysis and direct combustion is a grate boiler, including a boiler body I and a grate. A front arch II and a rear arch IV are arranged between the furnace and the burnout chamber. After the membrane water walls of the front arch II and the rear arch IV are folded into the furnace, they respectively form a front arch triangular area III and a rear arch triangular area V. A spiral pyrolysis device and an ejector device are arranged in both the front arch triangular area III and the rear arch triangular area III. The ejector device connects the spiral pyrolysis device and the furnace; outside the boiler body I, a hopper, a biomass charcoal storage device, a spiral output device and a spiral conveying device are respectively arranged.

A primary air pipe is arranged below the grate; Adjustable ventilation holes are arranged in the lower part of the membrane water walls of the front arch II and the rear arch IV. The spiral pyrolysis device is arranged above the ventilation holes. The output end of the spiral pyrolysis device is connected to the biomass charcoal storage device through a carbon discharge pipe. The bottom of the biomass charcoal storage device is connected to the spiral conveying device through the spiral output device, and the spiral conveying device is connected to the hopper; The primary air and the primary flue gas enter the combustion chamber from the bottom of the grate. The secondary air enters the ejector device as a high-speed fluid and successively ejects the pyrolyzed flue gas and the pyrolysis gas in the spiral cylinder to the upper areas of the front arch II and the rear arch IV to reduce NO in the flue gas with the pyrolysis gas x and then reburn, and use the pyrolyzed flue gas to realize flue gas recirculation reburning to reduce NO x .

[0008] The spiral pyrolysis device is arranged obliquely through from the right wall to the left wall in the pyrolysis chambers of the front and rear arches. A number of pyrolysis gas ducts are evenly arranged on the spiral pyrolysis device and connected to the ejector device.

The slide blocks and channel steels can adjust the high-temperature flue gas flow rate driven by the adjustment plate. When the adjustment plate is at the lowest end, the two sides of the slide block just completely match the vents on the steel pipes and flat steels on both sides. The adjustment plate and the slide block are made of Cr25Ni20Si2 or 310 stainless steel.

[0020] The boiler described in the present invention can achieve the efficient utilization of biomass pyrolysis gas products, solve problems such as equipment blockage caused by the condensation of pyrolysis tar. The pyrolysis gas in the spiral cylinder is directly ejected to the combustion area above the arch. Since the conveying distance is short and the temperature in the conveying space is high, there is no problem of tar condensation blocking the pipeline during the transportation of pyrolysis gas. At the same time, the direct combustion of tar can fully utilize its heat;

[0021] The boiler designed in the present invention has strong fuel adaptability and can burn solid fuels such as raw biomass, formed biomass, coal, and sludge. At the same time, it can also burn the biomass carbon produced by biomass pyrolysis;

[0022] The present invention realizes the efficient utilization of the heat of the high-temperature flue gas generated by fuel combustion; vent holes are provided on the membrane water wall at the lower parts of the front and rear arches, which can be used to send the flue gas in the combustion chamber into the pyrolysis chambers of the front and rear arches to provide heat for the pyrolysis of biomass particles;

[0024] Furthermore, the feed inlet of the spiral pyrolysis device is arranged outside the right wall and is provided with two-stage regulation at the lower part. The first pyrolysis gas conduit near the feed inlet communicates with the lower part of the feed inlet, which helps to realize air staging regulation and can solve problems such as poor ventilation and incomplete combustion.

[0025] Furthermore, sliders and channel steels are welded on the adjusting plate; the channel steels are horizontally arranged and the two sides are set as semi-circular arcs tangent to the steel pipes, which can fully isolate the flame from entering the pyrolysis chambers of the front and rear arches; adjustable screws are arranged on both sides of the adjusting plate outside the pyrolysis chamber to control the up and down movement of the adjusting plate and drive the up and down movement of the sliders. The sliders and channel steels can adjust the flow rate of the high-temperature flue gas under the drive of the adjusting plate; when the adjusting plate is at the lowest end, both sides of the sliders just completely cooperate with the ventilation openings on the two sides of the steel pipes and flat steels, and can completely block the high-temperature flue gas from flowing into the pyrolysis chamber. At this time, even during operation, dynamic maintenance of unexpected pyrolysis chamber fittings can be carried out.

[0026] Furthermore, the compressed air ash cleaning device regularly removes the suspended ash particles formed during operation in real time, especially ensuring the removal of the dynamic ash accumulation on the outer shell and fins of the spiral pyrolysis device during operation.

[0027] Furthermore, flange structures are provided at the upper and lower ends of the steel plate and connected to the flange structures welded on the upper and lower membrane water-cooled walls.
