[0021] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] A dry centrifugal granulation heat recovery system utilizing powder to prevent molten slag adhesion includes a powder distributor 1, a centrifugal granulation chamber 2, and a fixed gravity-flow bed 4. The centrifugal granulation chamber 2 has a slag discharge port 23 and a hot air outlet 24 at its top, and an air inlet 25 at its bottom. A granulator 22 is installed inside the centrifugal granulation chamber 2, and the granulator 22 is driven to rotate by a drive motor 21. A gravity inclined plate 3 is located below the granulator 22. This gravity inclined plate 3 is inclined to ensure that particles rolling onto it automatically fall into the fixed gravity-flow bed 4 by gravity. The lower end of the gravity inclined plate 3 is connected to the fixed gravity-flow bed 4, which is used for secondary heat recovery of the molten slag particles. A slag outlet 41 is located at the bottom of the fixed gravity-flow bed 4.

[0024] The molten slag is poured from the slag pouring port 23 at the top of the centrifugal granulation bin, falls onto the granulator 22 driven by the driving motor 21, and is broken into fine droplets in the internal space of the centrifugal granulation bin under the action of centrifugal force, exchanges heat with air, and is cooled and solidified into particles, obtaining high-temperature air; the cooled and solidified particles are wrapped by the powder entering the centrifugal granulation bin 2, thereby weakening the interaction between the molecules of the molten slag and reducing the viscosity, preventing the adhesion between particles and between particles and the wall surface; then the particles roll onto the gravity inclined plate 3 and are pushed into the fixed fluidized bed 4 by gravity for secondary heat recovery; the fixed fluidized bed absorbs the heat of the particles according to a physical or chemical heat recovery method, and finally the particles are discharged from the slag outlet 41 for subsequent processing and utilization.
[0025] In specific embodiments, an air inlet 42 is arranged at the lower part of the fixed fluidized bed, and an air outlet 43 is arranged at the upper part; an air extractor is arranged at the air outlet 43 to discharge the gas in the fixed fluidized bed; and the connection between the centrifugal granulation bin 2 and the fixed fluidized bed 4 is arranged as a long and narrow channel, which cooperates with the screw feeder 5 to make the particles fill the channel and enter the fixed fluidized bed, preventing the gas in the fixed fluidized bed from flowing back into the centrifugal granulation bin 2.
[0026] The air inlet 42 introduces mixed gas of biogas and flue gas, and the powder entering the powder distributor 1 is a metal powder with strong magnetism and catalytic activity, such as nickel powder; the mixed gas is subjected to endothermic reforming to synthesize gas in response to the catalytic action of the catalytically active metal powder and the slag catalyst, and the gas discharged from the air outlet 43 is introduced into a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction device 10 to produce liquid hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons, thereby completing secondary heat recovery.
[0027] A heat exchanger is arranged in the fixed fluidized bed to recover the residual heat of the molten slag particles.
[0028] The slag outlet 41 is connected with the ball mill 6; the slag particles wrapped by the powder discharged from the slag outlet 41 are crushed and ground into the powder containing the slag by the ball mill 6, and the strong magnetism of the metal powder is facilitated, and the physical separation of the metal powder and the slag powder is completed by the electromagnetic chuck 8 during the conveying process of the conveying belt 7; the slag powder is sent to the subsequent treatment and used as the admixture for producing the Portland cement and the concrete; and the metal powder is sent into the powder diverter again.
[0029] Example 1: As a typical representative of renewable energy, biogas, mainly composed of methane and carbon dioxide, can be obtained by anaerobic fermentation or decomposition of organic matter, and the raw material can be any biodegradable substance, such as sewage sludge, animal manure and organic solid waste in household garbage. Decomposition of methane on a catalyst-loaded carbon dioxide is a method for alleviating "global warming" to produce hydrogen, which utilizes the dry reforming reaction of methane CH4+CO2→2CO+2H2 to synthesize high-value and widely used synthesis gas with a low H2 / CO ratio. The subsequent synthesis gas can be used for the production of liquid hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons through the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, which can be used as a chemical raw material. This technology has potential environmental benefits in energy conversion and energy storage.
[0030] Since the dry reforming of methane to produce hydrogen is a strong endothermic reaction, referring to Figure 4 , the supplied powder is a metal nickel powder, and the liquid slag is a blast furnace slag. The working principle and process of the powder and the granulation are not repeated. Nickel metal is a commonly used catalyst that helps the adsorption and dissociation of methane. The smaller the nickel metal particles, the more conducive to the reaction, and also prevent sticking during the granulation of the molten slag. In the fixed fluidized bed 4, biogas obtained by anaerobic fermentation or decomposition of organic matter and flue gas from complete combustion of fossil fuels are introduced at the same time, and the liquid blast furnace slag has a temperature of 700-1000℃ after one heat recovery through granulation. Under the catalytic action of the nickel-based-slag catalyst formed by the metal nickel powder wrapping the broken blast furnace slag, the endothermic reforming of methane to synthesis gas occurs when the gas contacts the surface of the molten slag. The gas discharged from the gas outlet 43 is introduced into the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction device 10 to produce liquid hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons, thereby completing the secondary heat recovery. To avoid backflow of synthesis gas in the fixed fluidized bed and ensure the flow direction to the outlet, the connection between the centrifugal granulation bin 2 and the fixed fluidized bed 4 is set as a narrow channel, and cooperates with the screw feeder 5 to make the particles fill the channel and enter the fixed fluidized bed, preventing the gas in the fixed fluidized bed from flowing back into the centrifugal granulation bin 2.
[0031] The slag particles after chemical heat recovery are discharged from the slag discharge port 41 into the ball mill 6 for crushing and grinding into a powder containing slag glass and metal nickel. Since the nickel metal has strong magnetism, the physical separation of nickel powder from slag is completed by the electromagnetic chuck 8 during the conveying process of the conveying belt 7: the slag powder is sent to subsequent processing and used as a cement admixture for producing Portland cement, concrete; the nickel powder can be reused and continuously fed into the powder diverter 1.
[0032] The embodiment utilizes metal nickel powder to solve the slag bonding problem in the centrifugal granulation waste heat recovery technology, saves the energy consumption of methane dry reforming, improves the quality and storage convenience of biogas, and converts a large amount of CO2 gas generated by combustion of fossil fuels, thereby realizing the green energy-saving and emission-reducing environmental protection technology.
[0033] Embodiment 2
[0034] Referring to Figure 5 , the supplied powder is the powder after crushing of the cooled blast furnace slag, and the working principle and process of powder addition and granulation are the same as those of embodiment 1. Different from embodiment 1, no gas inlet and gas outlet are arranged at the lower part and the upper part of the fixed fluidized bed. Instead, a heat exchanger 10 is arranged in the fixed fluidized bed 4 by using a physical heat recovery method, water working medium is arranged in the heat exchanger, the waste heat of the granulated slag particles is recovered for the second time to obtain water vapor. The completely cooled slag particles are discharged from the slag discharge port 41 into the ball mill 6 for crushing and grinding into a powder containing slag glass for subsequent use as a cement admixture for producing Portland cement, concrete and other application scenarios.
