Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-stage pulse rotary pyrolysis reactor, and specifically belongs to the field of resource pyrolysis treatment of organic solid materials. Background Art

[0002] As one of the important economies in the world, China generates a large amount of solid waste mainly composed of domestic waste, industrial solid waste and agricultural waste every year. The most widely used solid waste treatment methods currently include landfill, incineration, biological treatment, chemical recycling, etc. Among them, the landfill method will cause pollution to land, water sources and air, and while occupying a large amount of land resources, it cannot generate additional economic value, which does not meet the requirements of environmental protection and economic development; the incineration method has good treatment effects, but also has the defects of generating pollution and low economic value; the biological method has little pollution and can produce high-value products such as methane or fertilizers, but the disadvantage is that the treatment cycle is relatively long.

[0003] Pyrolysis treatment in chemical recycling can realize the recovery of solid waste resources while having a shorter treatment cycle, and it is a relatively economically valuable method among current solid waste treatment methods.

[0004] Rotary kiln pyrolysis reactors have the advantages of high reliability and large processing capacity, and are widely used in the field of solid waste pyrolysis. They can be divided into two types: indirect heating type and direct heating type according to different heating methods.

[0005] The indirect heating type rotary kiln heats the outer wall of the cylinder, and the heat is conducted from the outer wall of the cylinder to the solid waste, which will cause relatively high energy loss.

[0006] The direct heating type rotary kiln usually uses high-temperature flue gas or high-temperature hot solid carriers to achieve heat transfer. Generally speaking, using high-temperature flue gas as the pyrolysis medium will cause more heat loss in flue gas exhaust, and it is difficult to ensure a very high heat transfer efficiency in gas-solid heat transfer; while using high-temperature hot solid carriers for heating will lead to a multiple increase in the conveying capacity of the kiln, an increase in the floor area of the equipment and an increase in operating costs.

[0007] Currently widely used rotary kiln pyrolysis reactors all have some defects, and there has not yet appeared a rotary kiln pyrolysis reactor that takes into account both heat transfer efficiency and operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a rotary pyrolysis reactor with higher heat transfer efficiency and stronger resource recovery ability, which can better realize the pyrolysis reaction while solving the problems of uneven heat transfer, coking and slagging caused by using high-temperature flue gas as the pyrolysis medium in the traditional method.

After heating to a certain temperature, the gaseous fuel and the combustion-supporting gas are introduced into the kiln head combustion system 2 through pipelines and burned in the porous ceramic cavities of the porous ceramic cylinder. Then, the high-temperature flue gas enters the rotary kiln rotating body 1. At the same time, the material to be pyrolyzed is conveyed into the rotary kiln rotating body 1 through the feeding system 3. The material to be pyrolyzed is heated by the porous ceramic cylinder and the high-temperature flue gas to undergo a pyrolysis reaction. After the material continuously moves towards the kiln tail and leaves the pyrolysis zone with the porous ceramic cylinder, it enters the quasi-adiabatic space formed by the rotating body heat-insulating wear-resistant material layer 13. In this stage, the pyrolysis absorbs the waste heat of the flue gas and the heat stored in the heat-insulating layer, causing the temperature of the quasi-adiabatic space to continuously drop. Then, it passes through the reburning system 5, and the pyrolysis process of the reburning system 5 is the same as that in the kiln head combustion system 2. The residue after pyrolysis is discharged by the kiln tail diversion system 6, and the generated pyrolysis gas is led out for subsequent utilization.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "insert", "up", "inside", "outside", etc. used in the present invention are only used to indicate directions, rather than indicating that the indicated devices or components must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, so it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the implementation mode. In this implementation mode, a rotary kiln pyrolysis reactor for pyrolyzing high calorific value solid waste residue is taken as an example, but it does not limit that the pyrolysis raw material of this pyrolysis reactor is only high calorific value solid waste residue

[0036] The present invention relates to a multi-stage pulse rotary pyrolysis reactor, which mainly includes: a rotary kiln rotating body 1, a kiln head combustion system 2, a feeding system 3, a rotary kiln positioning and drive system 4, a reburning system 5, and a kiln tail shunt system 6. The kiln head combustion system 2 is used to achieve functions such as preheating during pyrolysis, ignition and heating of the gas at the kiln head, and kiln head sealing. The rotary kiln rotating body 1 is located between the kiln head combustion system 2 and the kiln tail shunt system 6. High calorific value solid waste residues are fed from the feeding system 3, and pyrolysis occurs in the rotary kiln rotating body 1. The pyrolysis gas generated is discharged from the pyrolysis gas outlet 62 located in the kiln tail shunt system 6, and the residues after pyrolysis are discharged from the air lock 68 located at the lower end of the kiln tail shunt system 6.

[0037] Before the multi-stage pulse rotary pyrolysis reactor conducts material pyrolysis treatment, it is necessary to first operate the ignition burner 24 located on the kiln head combustion system 2. The ignition burner 24 continuously burns to raise the average temperature of the entire rotary kiln rotating body 1 to the lowest pyrolysis temperature. At this time, the feeding system 3 is operated to feed the high calorific value solid waste residues to be pyrolyzed, and the pyrolysis reaction starts. After sufficient pyrolysis gas is generated, the ignition burner 24 can be turned off. The pyrolysis gas contains a large amount of combustible gas components such as methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. After dust removal, condensation, and purification, it forms non-condensable gas, which can be used as the heat source gas for subsequent pyrolysis reactions.

[0038] The high calorific value solid waste residues are fed into the rotary kiln rotating body 1 by the feeding system 3. The feeding system 3 is mainly composed of a feeding bin 31 and a screw feeder 32. The high calorific value solid waste residues rotate with the screw feeder 32 and are gradually fed into the rotary kiln rotating body 1. The material feeding speed is determined by the feeder reducer 33 and the feeder motor 34. At the same time, the multi-stage feeding bin level gauge 35 is used to judge the level height in the bin. During the feeding process, it is necessary to ensure that there is a level signal from the lowest layer feeding bin level gauge, that is, the feeding bin 31 ensures that there is always high calorific value solid waste residues, so as to achieve material plugging and prevent the pyrolysis gas from backflowing from the feeding bin 31, causing safety accidents and pollution. To achieve the above functions, it is necessary to perform the interlocking function of the feeder motor 34 and the feeding bin level gauge 35 before operation, so that the prerequisite for the motor to rotate is that there is a level signal from the lowest layer feeding bin level gauge.

[0039] The high-calorific value solid waste residue enters the pyrolysis zone 16 of the rotary kiln body 1 in the rotary kiln. At this time, the non-condensable gas is fed into the above-mentioned non-condensable gas through the main combustion gas pipe 26 located on the kiln head combustion system 2, and at the same time, pure oxygen is fed into the main combustion assistant gas pipe 27. The two respectively enter the combustion heating chamber 15 through the combustion gas annular header 28, the gas branch pipe 210 and the combustion assistant gas annular header 29, and the assistant gas branch pipe 211. Due to the combustion heating of the ignition burner 24, the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14, which is the only outlet of the combustion heating chamber 15, has been heated to a sufficient temperature. At this time, the mixed gas of non-condensable gas and pure oxygen will carry out a porous medium combustion reaction in the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14 and release a large amount of heat. The released heat energy further heats the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14 and transfers the heat to the high-calorific value solid waste residue, promoting its pyrolysis reaction; in addition, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the porous medium combustion reaction will also penetrate into the rotary kiln pyrolysis zone 16, becoming the driving heat source for the pyrolysis reaction to occur.

[0040] Furthermore, the rotary kiln body 1 includes a rotary cylinder steel plate 12, a rotary heat-insulating and wear-resistant material layer 13, and a high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14. The combustion heating chamber 15 is surrounded by the rotary heat-insulating and wear-resistant material layer 13, the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14, and the annular graphite sealing layer 212. The inlets are the gas branch pipe 210 and the assistant gas branch pipe 211, and the outlet is the porous structure of the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14; the gas branch pipe 210 and the assistant gas branch pipe 211 are made of high-temperature resistant materials and are connected to their respective annular headers through sealing joints.

[0041] Even further, the rotary heat-insulating and wear-resistant material layer 13 and the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14 are fixed by a mechanical structure to ensure that during the pyrolysis reaction, the two remain relatively stationary and rotate coaxially, while the annular graphite sealing layer 212 is fixed to the kiln head cover 21 by fastening screws 213 and is in an absolutely stationary state.

[0042] Even further, the annular graphite sealing layer 212 has the characteristics of high sealing performance, high temperature resistance, and wear resistance, ensuring that gas cannot reverse flow from the kiln head.

[0043] Even further, the kiln head sealing device 22 selects a flexible sealing structure to ensure good sealing performance even in the case of a certain movement deviation.

[0044] Even further, the lengths of the gas branch pipe 210 and the assistant gas branch pipe 211 in the same group are the same, and the outlet positions are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the rotary kiln body 1 until approaching the farthest end from the kiln head of the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14; the above-mentioned pipes in the same group are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the rotary kiln body 1 to ensure that the flue gas uniformly penetrates into the rotary kiln pyrolysis zone 16 from the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14.

[0045] Furthermore, solenoid valves are provided on the main gas combustion pipe 26 and the main auxiliary gas combustion pipe 27, which are pulsed to open and close. The operating conditions are interlocked with the kiln head temperature measurement system 23 and the rotating body wireless temperature measurement thermocouple 11. It passes through the annular graphite sealing layer for sealing and positioning from the kiln head direction, and inserts multiple thermocouples into the combustion heating chamber, near the outlet of the gas branch pipe. Once the temperature of the above-mentioned temperature measurement point is lower than the preset threshold, the electromagnetic valve opens and a porous medium combustion reaction occurs, providing more heat for pyrolysis; when the temperature of the above-mentioned temperature measurement point is higher than the preset threshold, the solenoid valve closes, and the heat source for the pyrolysis reaction is only the heat stored in the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14. By repeatedly opening and closing the solenoid valve in this way, energy can be saved to the greatest extent, the smoke content in the pyrolysis gas can be reduced, and the highest-quality pyrolysis products can be obtained as much as possible.

[0046] The high-calorific value solid waste residue absorbs heat and undergoes pyrolysis in the columnar space formed by the high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 14. After the material continuously moves towards the kiln tail and leaves the above-mentioned columnar space, it enters the quasi-adiabatic space formed by the rotating body heat-insulating and wear-resistant material layer 13. In this stage, the pyrolysis absorbs the waste heat of the flue gas and the heat stored in the heat-insulating layer, causing the temperature of the above-mentioned quasi-adiabatic space to continuously decrease.

[0047] Preferably, one or more reburning systems 5 are provided in the pyrolysis reactor of the present invention to heat the high-calorific value solid waste residue with a continuously decreasing temperature and provide the heat energy required for re-pyrolysis.

[0048] Preferably, the rotary kiln positioning and transmission system 4 includes a tyre 41, a supporting roller device 42, a supporting roller cooling water tank 43, a retaining ring device 44, a large gear ring 45, a small gear ring 46 and a driving device 47; among them, the tyre 41 is fixed to the rotary kiln through a backing plate and a seat plate, drives a pair of supporting rollers to rotate, and the overall support of the rotary kiln is realized by the supporting roller device 42. Multiple groups of the tyre 41 and the supporting roller device 42 are provided to evenly support the overall weight of the rotary kiln. One or several groups are configured with a retaining ring device 44 to limit the axial movement of the rotary kiln; the large gear ring 45 is respectively connected to the fixed brackets on the outer side of the rotating body cylinder steel plate 12 through bolts to achieve fixation, and the small gear ring 46 is driven to rotate by the driving device 47, thereby driving the large gear ring 45 and the entire rotary kiln to rotate.

[0049] More preferably, the above reburning system 5 is surrounded by a reburning outer shell 55, a rotary kiln rotating body 1, and a reburning high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 512. The above non-condensable gas is introduced into the system as fuel gas through the reburning fuel gas pipeline 52, and pure oxygen is introduced into the system as auxiliary fuel gas through the reburning auxiliary fuel gas pipeline 51. After the non-condensable gas and pure oxygen are mixed in the reburning mixing chamber 57, they enter the reburning high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 512 from the metal fiber felt 59 and the small holes 510 of the reburning mixed gas. The mixed gas is ignited by the high-temperature ceramic material and burns in the ceramic small holes, releasing heat to heat the reburning high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 512. Similarly, the reburning high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 512 and the high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion can provide heat for the secondary pyrolysis of high-calorie solid waste residues.

[0050] More preferably, the rotary kiln rotating body 1 rotates and the reburning outer shell 55 remains stationary. The seal between the two is composed of a composite seal structure consisting of a flexible seal 53 of the reburning system and a graphite seal 58 of the reburning chamber, ensuring that the mixed gas cannot leak during the pyrolysis process.

[0051] More preferably, the metal fiber felt 59 is evenly laid on the outside of the small holes 510 of the reburning mixed gas. The finer pores of the metal fiber felt 59 can effectively prevent the flame burning inside the reburning high-temperature porous ceramic cylinder 512 from flashing back to the reburning mixing chamber 57, preventing the risk of deflagration.

[0052] After the high-calorie solid waste residues are heated and decomposed by multiple reburning systems 5, they move to the tail of the rotary kiln rotating body 1 and then enter the kiln tail diversion system 6, successively fall into the discharge bin 65, and are discharged from the system through the outlet of the air lock 68. Then, mechanical conveying equipment such as a chain conveyor or a screw cooler can be used to transfer, utilize, or store them.

[0053] Furthermore, the function of the kiln tail diversion system 6 is to ensure the discharge of pyrolysis residues, the extraction of pyrolysis gas, and the sealing and non-diffusion of pyrolysis products. It is surrounded by a kiln tail cover 61 and a discharge bin 65, and both are internally provided with a heat preservation layer to protect the steel and prevent heat loss.

[0054] Even further, the kiln tail diversion system 6 prevents the pyrolysis gas from overflowing through the kiln tail seal 64. This seal structure selects a flexible seal to improve the mechanical fault tolerance rate.

[0055] The above-mentioned kiln head seal device, flexible seal of the reburning system, and kiln tail seal all adopt a composite flexible seal form. On the basis of using the traditional fish scale friction seal, a wear-resistant and high-temperature-resistant non-metallic material is fixedly laid on the outside of the rotary kiln rotating body 1, so that the fish scales and the non-metallic material rub against each other to ensure the system seal to the greatest extent.

[0056] Even further, a temperature measuring device 66 for the discharge bin is arranged on the side wall of the discharge bin to monitor the pyrolysis condition in the rotary kiln rotating body 1.

[0057] Furthermore, a multi-stage level gauge 67 for the discharge bin sidewall is arranged to monitor the material level height in the discharge bin 65. During the operation of the system, it is necessary to ensure that there is a continuous material level signal in the lowest two-stage level gauges of the discharge bin. With the special discharge structure of the air lock 68 and the determined interlock logic between the two, it can prevent outside air from flowing back from the outlet of the air lock 68 into the cavity of the kiln tail diversion system 6, preventing an explosion from occurring due to the mixing of air in a location with a relatively high temperature and a large amount of combustible pyrolysis gas.

[0058] All heated sections of the pyrolysis reactor are arranged with temperature measuring devices of different types and uses, which can real-time feedback the operating state of the system, and can adjust the pyrolysis state according to the real-time operating parameters, so as to improve the pyrolysis efficiency as much as possible on the premise of maintaining the stable operation of the system.

[0059] The present invention is also applicable to the pyrolysis of low calorific value materials. Only need to replace the said fuel gas with other industrial combustible gases such as methane, hydrogen, etc., and at the same time adjust the opening / closing frequency of the solenoid valve; for materials with very high calorific value, a steam generator can be configured to burn the excess non-condensable gas, and the generated steam can be used as plant steam or for other purposes such as drying, refrigeration, heating, etc.
