AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for detecting SO3 content in coal ash, especially for coal types with high content of alkaline oxides such as CaO and Fe2O3, often yield results that differ significantly from the actual values obtained by power plants using the GB/T1574 method. This makes it difficult to accurately guide the design of power plant ash and slag systems and the comprehensive utilization of fly ash, and the detection method is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.
A method for calculating SO3 content in coal ash is proposed. By measuring the components of coal ash, namely SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, and MgO, the SO3 content is calculated using the conversion formula ZHLs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of comprehensive utilization technology of coal and fly ash, specifically to a method for calculating the SO3 content in coal ash. Background Technology
[0002] The design of new generating units requires coal quality analysis of the design coal and the verification coal, including coal ash composition testing. The results of the coal ash composition test are used to analyze the slagging and fouling performance of the coal samples, and also to guide the design of the power plant ash system and the comprehensive utilization of fly ash.
[0003] In practical work, it was found that the SO3 content in the ash of some coal samples was significantly higher than that of the power plant's operating values. Therefore, ash samples were prepared from a large amount of raw coal using the following three methods: (1) A certain amount of analytical coal sample was burned and then cooled according to the preparation method of GB / T1574 to obtain ash samples; (2) Coal powder was burned in a one-dimensional flame furnace, and then fly ash was obtained in a cyclone (similar to a power plant ash silo); (3) Fly ash was obtained in an already operational power plant ash silo. The ash samples obtained by the three methods were tested for their ash composition. The results showed that when the content of alkaline oxides such as CaO and Fe2O3 in the ash was high, the SO3 content in the ash prepared by the GB / T1574 method was higher than that in the ash prepared by the one-dimensional flame furnace and the ash in the power plant ash silo. For this type of coal, the SO3 content obtained by testing the ash prepared by the GB / T1574 method cannot guide the comprehensive utilization of coal ash in power plants. However, it is obviously impractical to test the composition of fly ash by burning ash samples in actual large-scale pulverized coal boilers for all newly built units. Fly ash can also be burned by burning fly ash in a one-dimensional flame furnace, but this requires a lot of labor and time costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a method for calculating the SO3 content in coal ash, applicable to anthracite, lean coal, bituminous coal, long-flame coal and lignite.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] Step 4: Calculate SO in coal ash 3jContent, %, see formula (2) for specific calculation method.
[0011] SO 3j =2.5×ZHLs / Aar (2)
[0012] Step 5: Based on the comparison of SO 3j The magnitude of SO3 was used to ultimately determine the SO content in the coal ash. 3Z ;
[0013] SO 3j ≥SO3, SO 3Z =SO3; conversely, SO 3j <SO3,SO 3Z =SO3 j .
[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in the first step, the coal ash composition includes SO3, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO and MgO.
[0015] A further improvement of this invention is that ZHLs reveal the adsorption efficiency of key coal ash components SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, and MgO on SO3 during the testing process.
[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in the first step, coal ash sample preparation and coal ash composition determination are carried out in accordance with the test method of GB / T1574-2007.

[0018] A further improvement of this invention is that, in the third step, the specific calculation method for the conversion rate ZHLs is given in equation (1).
[0019] ZHLs=1.649×SiO2-0.015×Al2O3+2.365×Fe2O3+1.463×CaO+0.521×MgO-104.441(1).
[0020] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in the fifth step, based on the comparison of SO... 3j The magnitude of SO3 was used to ultimately determine the SO content in the coal ash. 3Z .
[0021] A further improvement of the present invention is that the method is applicable to anthracite, lean coal, bituminous coal, long-flame coal and lignite.
[0022] A further improvement of this invention is that it deduces the SO3 content of coal ash during the actual combustion process based on the ash composition of different coal types, thus fully restoring the ash-making process of coal samples during actual combustion in power plant pulverized coal boilers.
[0023] The present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] By using existing experimental methods to test coal quality parameters and ash composition, the SO3 content of fly ash in ash storage can be predicted, and this value is very close to the value in the actual production process of power plants. This can guide the comprehensive utilization of fly ash. ② There is no need to prepare fly ash in large pulverized coal boilers or one-dimensional flame combustion furnaces in laboratories, saving a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. ③ This result is obtained through statistical analysis of test results from a large number of field samples and laboratory samples, with high calculation accuracy and high engineering application value.
