Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coal combustion additive technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a coal-saving agent using metal-treated wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Coal is one of my country's main energy and chemical raw materials, and is the most widely used energy source in modern industry. In cities and surrounding areas with a high concentration of power plant industrial boilers and commercial boilers, the low thermal efficiency of coal-fired boilers means that the combustion equipment cannot completely burn the supplied coal. Incompletely burned coal, carrying harmful substances such as sulfur and nitrates, is emitted with the smoke and dust, causing environmental pollution from black smoke and slag, as well as significant energy loss. Furthermore, incomplete combustion leads to the accumulation of large amounts of ash and scale inside the furnace. Most existing coal-fired boilers suffer from the disadvantage of being difficult to burn. As global coal reserves dwindle and coal prices rise, national and relevant departments are imposing increasingly stringent requirements on coal combustion emissions. To protect the environment and fully utilize energy, scientists worldwide are continuously researching energy-saving technologies, leading to the development of coal-saving agents.
[0003] Coal-saving agents are mainly formulated from various chemical raw materials such as oxygenating agents, modifiers, catalysts, combustion improvers, smoke suppressants, expanding agents, and sulfur-fixing agents. They are used to improve the thermal efficiency of coal, thereby achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. High-performance coal-saving agents can greatly improve boiler combustion efficiency, reduce environmental pollution, extend boiler service life, and reduce costs for coal-using enterprises.
[0004] During heat treatment, processing, storage, and transportation, metals oxidize under the influence of oxygen, easily forming an uneven oxide layer, which is also affected by other oily substances and impurities. Therefore, to improve the luster of metal surfaces and enhance their corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and ductility, as well as extend their service life, it is often necessary to treat the metal surface through methods such as pickling, alkali washing, phosphating, and ceramic coating.
[0005] Currently, commonly used alkaline compounds for degreasing metal surfaces include NaOH, Na₂CO₃, Na₃PO₄, and Na₂SiO₃. However, for heavily oiled parts, organic solvents such as kerosene, gasoline, acetone, toluene, trichloroethylene, and carbon tetrachloride are used first for degreasing, followed by chemical alkaline degreasing. To remove certain mineral oils, a certain amount of emulsifier, such as OP emulsifier, AE emulsifier, or triethanolamine oleic acid soap, is usually added to the degreasing solution. Therefore, the cleaning wastewater and replacement wastewater generated during the degreasing process are alkaline wastewater, often containing oils and other organic compounds. Acid pickling and rust removal commonly use hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, so the cleaning water generated during the acid pickling and rust removal process generally has a high acidity. Whether it is alkaline degreasing wastewater or acidic rust removal cleaning water, direct discharge without treatment will cause serious environmental pollution. If the above-mentioned wastewater is treated and reused, the harm of degreasing and rust removal wastewater can be greatly reduced, turning waste into treasure and generating considerable economic and environmental benefits. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a coal-saving agent using metal treatment wastewater. The coal-saving agent is prepared by compounding metal treatment wastewater, a penetrating and dispersing component, an emulsifying component, a catalytic component, and an oxidizing component. Spraying 0.05%-0.1% of this agent into coal can reduce the initial combustion temperature of coal by 20-50℃, reduce the burnout temperature by 20-60℃, and reduce the carbon content of ash residue by more than 5%. This invention applies metal treatment wastewater to the production of the coal-saving agent, turning waste into treasure, promoting resource recycling, and truly achieving harmless resource treatment.
[0007] To achieve the above effects, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for preparing a coal-saving agent using metal treatment wastewater, which is made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60-85 parts of metal treatment wastewater, 0.5-1 parts of penetrating dispersion component, 0.5-1 parts of emulsifying component, 5-15 parts of catalytic component, and 5-15 parts of oxidizing component.
[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned metal treatment wastewater comprises: collecting alkaline and acidic metal surface treatment solutions. The alkaline solution is wastewater from metal surfaces that have undergone organic solvent degreasing followed by chemical alkaline degreasing. This wastewater is evaporated and concentrated, then filtered to remove insoluble matter, yielding treatment solution A. Treatment solution A has a calorific value of 300-500 kcal / kg, a solid content of 3-5%, and a pH of 9-11. The acidic solution is pickling and rust removal wastewater. This wastewater is concentrated using the same method and then filtered to obtain treatment solution B. Treatment solution B has a solid content of 2-4% and a pH of 3-5.
[0009] First, the alkaline metal surface treatment solution is concentrated, and insoluble matter is filtered out to obtain treatment solution A. The acidic metal surface treatment solution is concentrated in the same way and then filtered to obtain treatment solution B. The mass ratio of treatment solution A to treatment solution B is 1-1.5:0.8-1.
[0010] Furthermore, the aforementioned penetrating and dispersing component is one of polyoxyethylene ether, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and polyether.
[0011] Furthermore, the emulsifying component mentioned above is one of sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, emulsifier AEO, and penetrant JFC.
[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned catalytic component is one of titanium trichloride, nickel sulfate, and cerium nitrate.
[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned oxidizing component is one of potassium permanganate, potassium chlorate, and sodium hypochlorite.
[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of the above-mentioned cement coal-saving agent is characterized by starting the stirrer, sequentially adding the catalytic component, oxidation component, penetration dispersion component and emulsifying component to the B treatment liquid, and mixing them evenly; then slowly adding the A treatment liquid and mixing it evenly.
[0015] Metal treatment wastewater, containing organic substances such as kerosene and oil stains, can generate heat during coal combustion, thereby increasing the calorific value of coal and reducing coal consumption. Simultaneously, the presence of inorganic salts such as NaOH, Na₂CO₃, Na₃PO₄, and Na₂SiO₃ helps to fix sulfur. The added oxidizing components, such as potassium permanganate, potassium chlorate, and sodium hypochlorite, when sprayed onto the coal surface, allow the effective components of the coal-saving agent to quickly penetrate into the coal's core pores, greatly improving coal transport fluidity, reducing "coal bridging," and stimulating coal combustion activity for more complete combustion. Components such as titanium trichloride, nickel sulfate, and cerium nitrate act as combustion-supporting catalysts, increasing molecular activity, lowering ignition temperature, accelerating the release of internal energy, and improving coal combustion performance.
[0016] The following points should be noted when using this product: 1. The dosage of this cement coal-saving agent should be calculated based on the total mass of coal, and the dosage should be 0.05%-0.1%; 2. The mixing method is spraying, that is, the coal-saving agent should be evenly sprayed onto the surface of the coal according to the recommended ratio of the total mass of coal, and then thoroughly mixed using mixing equipment; 3. This product should be stored in a cool and ventilated place, and protected from rain and direct sunlight.
[0017] Technical effects of the present invention:
[0018] 1. Under the synergistic promoting effects of metal treatment wastewater, penetrating dispersion components, emulsifying components, catalytic components, and oxidizing components, the prepared coal-saving agent can improve furnace combustion conditions, enhance coal seam permeability, ensure complete coal combustion, increase coal combustion thermal efficiency, reduce smoke and dust emissions, improve heat transfer efficiency, fix sulfur and reduce smoke, reduce CO and SO2 emissions, and reduce environmental pollution, thereby achieving the goals of combustion assistance, sulfur fixation, energy saving, and desulfurization. Spraying 0.05%-0.1% of this coal-saving agent into coal can reduce the initial combustion temperature of coal by 20-50℃, reduce the burnout temperature by 20-60℃, and reduce the carbon content of ash residue by more than 5%.
[0019] 2. This invention applies metal treatment wastewater to the production of a coal-saving agent, turning waste into treasure and providing an effective way to utilize metal treatment wastewater. Furthermore, the product has a simple production process and a shelf life of over one year, making it suitable for industrial production. Detailed Implementation
