Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-value utilization technology of multi-source solid waste, and relates to a multi-source solid waste high-value treatment system and method based on coal-fired power plants. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy power generation and new energy vehicle industries, the high-efficiency development inevitably brings the problem of difficult recycling and disposal of wind turbine blades and lithium batteries. As wind turbine blades are phased out, more and more wind power equipment facing retirement is encountering the challenges of high disposal costs and difficulties. Most wind turbine blades are composed of thermosetting composite materials, primarily polymers and glass or carbon fibers of varying lengths, manufactured using vacuum injection molding processes. These materials are often difficult to degrade after their service life, and if not properly recycled, they may have long-term environmental impacts. The widespread use of lithium batteries has also brought a serious problem—the disposal and recycling of used lithium batteries. Because lithium batteries contain many valuable metal elements, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, as well as toxic substances that may harm the environment and human health, such as heavy metals and electrolytes, effective recycling and disposal of used lithium batteries not only contributes to resource recycling but also reduces the risk of environmental pollution. Under the dual-carbon development goals, reducing solid waste pollution and utilizing solid waste resources aligns with the sustainable development strategy.

[0003] The recycling of wind turbine blades faces two main challenges: first, the large size and weight of the blades make transportation and storage difficult; second, the multi-layered structure of composite materials and the complex manufacturing process complicate recycling. Existing treatment technologies mainly include landfill, pyrolysis, and chemical treatment, but all have certain limitations.

[0004] Lithium-ion battery recycling technologies mainly fall into two categories: physical recycling and chemical recycling. Physical recycling primarily uses physical methods such as crushing and sorting to separate valuable metals and plastic components from lithium-ion batteries. This method is simple to operate, but its recycling efficiency is relatively low, and it requires high precision in crushing and sorting of used batteries. Chemical recycling, on the other hand, uses chemical methods such as dissolution, precipitation, and extraction to extract metal elements from lithium-ion batteries. This method has high recycling efficiency, but it is complex to operate and may generate secondary pollution.

[0005] The main challenges facing lithium battery recycling include: the difficulty of collecting and processing used batteries, the high cost of recycling technology, and stringent environmental requirements. Furthermore, the wide variety of lithium batteries with significant differences in composition and structure also poses considerable difficulties for recycling. Therefore, developing efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost lithium battery recycling technologies is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0006] The development of recycling technology for wind turbine blades and lithium batteries is of great significance for resource recycling and environmental protection. Therefore, how to provide a way to make high-value utilization of lithium batteries and wind turbine blades is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-value treatment system and method for multi-source solid waste from coal-fired power plants.

The discharge outlet of the crushing mechanism is connected to the feed inlet of the screening mechanism. The undersize outlet of the screening mechanism is connected to the feed inlet of the grinding mill. The discharge outlet of the grinding mill is connected to the feed inlet of the cyclone separator. A carrier gas source is connected to the pipeline connecting the discharge outlet of the grinding mill and the feed inlet of the cyclone separator. The overflow outlet of the cyclone separator is connected to the feed inlet of the gravity separation system.

[0015] Preferably, the outlet of the screening mechanism is connected to the inlet of the third conveying mechanism or to the inlet of the crushing mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, the cyclone separation mechanism includes a primary cyclone separator and a secondary cyclone separator.

[0017] This invention also provides a method for high-value treatment of multi-source solid waste from coal-fired power plants. This method employs the multi-source solid waste high-value treatment system for coal-fired power plants described above, and includes the following steps:

[0018] The flue gas from the economizer outlet of the boiler system is fed into the pyrolysis furnace through the flue gas inlet of the pyrolysis furnace, and the flue gas from the outlet of the pyrolysis furnace is fed into the shredder system through the flue gas inlet of the shredder system. The flue gas fed from the pyrolysis furnace into the shredder system serves as the inert medium of the shredder system.

[0019] Solid waste in the feeding system is fed into the shredder system for processing via the first conveying mechanism. After being processed by the shredder system, the solid waste is fed into the pyrolysis furnace via the second conveying mechanism for pyrolysis. In the pyrolysis furnace, the flue gas from the economizer outlet of the boiler system is used to pyrolyze the solid waste. After being pyrolyzed in the pyrolysis furnace, the solid waste is transported to the pyrolysis product separation system via the third conveying mechanism for product separation.

[0020] The solid waste includes lithium batteries and / or pre-cut wind turbine blades.

[0021] Preferably, the pyrolysis product separation system includes a crushing mechanism, a screening mechanism, a grinding mill, a cyclone separator, and a gravity separation system.

The ground material is then transported to a cyclone separator by a carrier gas source. The overflow particles from the overflow outlet of the cyclone separator are sent to a gravity separation system for further separation.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This invention relates to a multi-source solid waste high-value treatment system based on coal-fired power plants. The flue gas inlet of the pyrolysis furnace is connected to the economizer outlet of the boiler system. Therefore, the pyrolysis furnace can utilize the high-temperature flue gas generated by the boiler system to pyrolyze the solid waste. During pyrolysis in the furnace, for lithium batteries, the surface binder can be removed, facilitating separation by the subsequent pyrolysis product separation system. For wind turbine blade main beams and coverings, continuous glass fibers can be obtained. The flue gas outlet of the pyrolysis furnace is connected to the flue gas inlet of the shredder system. Therefore, the flue gas generated after pyrolysis of solid waste in the pyrolysis furnace can serve as an inert atmosphere for protecting the solid waste in the shredder system. By setting up a pyrolysis product separation system, this invention can further separate the pyrolysis products from the pyrolysis furnace, ultimately achieving high-value resource utilization of the solid waste. As can be seen from the above scheme, the overall system structure of this invention is relatively simple, overcomes the lithium battery discharge problem and improves the flame retardant effect, enhances the high-value-added treatment capacity of multi-source solid waste, and achieves harmless treatment of solid waste without water resource loss or secondary pollutant generation throughout the process.

Furthermore, those skilled in the art can design regions / layers with different shapes, sizes, and relative positions as needed.

[0032] Reference Figure 1This invention relates to a multi-source solid waste high-value treatment system based on coal-fired power plants, comprising a feeding system, a shredder system 6, a pyrolysis furnace 8, a boiler system 9, and a pyrolysis product separation system. Both the shredder system 6 and the pyrolysis furnace 8 are provided with a material inlet, a material outlet, a flue gas inlet, and a flue gas outlet. The material inlet of the shredder system 6 is connected to the feeding system via a first conveying mechanism. The material outlet of the shredder system 6 is connected to the material inlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8 via a second conveying mechanism. The flue gas inlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8 is connected to the economizer outlet of the boiler system 9. The flue gas outlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8 is connected to the flue gas inlet of the shredder system 6. The material outlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8 is connected to the pyrolysis product separation system via a third conveying mechanism.

[0033] The process of high-value treatment of multi-source solid waste using the above-mentioned processing system of the present invention includes:

[0034] The flue gas from the economizer outlet of boiler system 9 is fed into pyrolysis furnace 8 through the flue gas inlet, and the flue gas from the outlet of pyrolysis furnace 8 is fed into shredder system 6 through the flue gas inlet. The flue gas fed from pyrolysis furnace 8 into shredder system 6 serves as an inert medium for shredder system 6. At this time, both pyrolysis furnace 8 and shredder system 6 are filled with inert flue gas. On the one hand, when solid waste enters shredder system 6, it is in an inert atmosphere, which can prevent ignition and also dry and preheat the solid waste, which is beneficial to the pyrolysis process of pyrolysis furnace 8. On the other hand, the solid waste particles transported from shredder system 6 start the pyrolysis process directly after entering pyrolysis furnace 8, which can improve the efficiency of pyrolysis.

[0035] In the inert flue gas atmosphere of the shredder system 6, solid waste (such as lithium batteries and / or pre-cut wind turbine blades) from the feeding system is fed into the shredder system 6 for processing via the first conveying mechanism. Larger solid waste is processed into relatively smaller sizes, which is beneficial for subsequent pyrolysis. The solid waste processed by the shredder system 6 is fed into the pyrolysis furnace 8 via the second conveying mechanism for pyrolysis. In the pyrolysis furnace 8, the flue gas from the economizer outlet of the boiler system 9 is used to pyrolyze the solid waste. The solid waste after pyrolysis in the pyrolysis furnace is transported to the pyrolysis product separation system via the third conveying mechanism for product separation, thereby realizing the high-value recycling of solid waste.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pyrolysis furnace 8 of the present invention can adopt the following structure: the pyrolysis furnace 8 includes a furnace body, a material inlet 82 and a flue gas outlet 84 of the pyrolysis furnace 8 are disposed at the top of the furnace body, and a flue gas inlet 85 and a material outlet 86 of the pyrolysis furnace 8 are disposed at the bottom of the furnace body. A vibrating screen structure is provided in the inner cavity of the furnace body, and the vibrating screen structure is located between the flue gas inlet 85 and the flue gas outlet 84 of the pyrolysis furnace 8. Solid waste fed into the pyrolysis furnace 8 through the second conveying mechanism falls from the material inlet 82 and comes into contact with the upward-flowing flue gas flowing out of the flue gas inlet 85 during the falling process, thereby realizing the pyrolysis of the solid waste. During the pyrolysis process, the vibrating screen structure can redistribute the solid waste particles entering from the material inlet 82, so that the solid waste particles are evenly distributed on the cross-section of the furnace body of the pyrolysis furnace 8, and the solid waste particles are relatively loosely distributed, which is conducive to sufficient contact with the flue gas and to achieving sufficient pyrolysis.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the present invention can install a discharge valve at the material inlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8. The discharge valve can be used to control the feeding speed of the pyrolysis furnace 8, and to fully pyrolyze the solid waste particles in the pyrolysis furnace 8. The discharge valve can be a star-shaped discharge valve 81, which can achieve constant speed and periodic feeding. The flue gas outlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8 is equipped with an on / off valve. The on / off valve can be used to control the flue gas velocity at the flue gas outlet 84, thereby ensuring the flue gas volume and temperature in the pyrolysis furnace 8, which is beneficial to ensuring the pyrolysis temperature in the pyrolysis furnace 8. The on / off valve can be a cam-type on / off structure 83, which can control the cycle and flow rate of flue gas released from the flue gas outlet 84.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the above solution, the pyrolysis furnace 8 of the present invention can be equipped with several stages of vibrating screen structures, which are distributed at intervals from top to bottom. This further ensures the complete pyrolysis of solid waste particles. Each stage of the vibrating screen structure must ensure that it can block the solid waste particles to achieve uniform material distribution, but at the same time, it must also ensure that the solid waste particles can pass through smoothly. Therefore, the screen aperture size of the vibrating screen structure must be larger than the size of the solid waste particles shredded by the shredder system. Those skilled in the art can adjust the settings according to specific circumstances, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned scheme, in the pyrolysis furnace 8 of the present invention, a plurality of flue gas inlets 85 are provided, and the plurality of flue gas inlets 85 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the furnace body; a plurality of flue gas outlets 84 are provided, and the plurality of flue gas outlets 84 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the furnace body. This helps to ensure uniform distribution of flue gas within the pyrolysis furnace 8, which is beneficial to the complete pyrolysis of solid waste particles.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the flue gas outlet of the shredder system 6 is connected to the environmental protection island 10 via an induced draft fan 23. This design enables the dust, harmful gases, and inert flue gas generated in the shredder system 6 to be sent to the environmental protection island 10 of the coal-fired power plant via the induced draft fan 23, and finally discharged through the chimney 11.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the above solution, the feeding system of the present invention includes a storage silo 4, a lithium battery inlet conveying device designed for lithium battery processing, and a blade pre-cutting system designed for wind turbine blades. The discharge port of the storage silo 4 is connected to the material inlet of the shredder system 6 through a first conveying mechanism. The storage silo 4 can provide solid waste raw materials to the shredder system 6. The discharge ends of both the lithium battery inlet conveying device and the blade pre-cutting system are connected to the inlet of the storage silo 4. The lithium battery inlet conveying device can transport waste lithium batteries to the storage silo 4 for temporary storage. The blade pre-cutting system 3 can pre-cut wind turbine blades with relatively large dimensions into smaller sizes that meet the size requirements of the shredder system 6, and then send the wind turbine blades to the storage silo 4 for temporary storage.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the pyrolysis product separation system of the present invention can adopt the following structure: the pyrolysis product separation system includes a crushing mechanism, a screening mechanism, a grinding mill 15, a cyclone separator and a gravity separation system 19. The feed inlet of the crushing mechanism is connected to the material outlet of the pyrolysis furnace 8 through a third conveying mechanism. The discharge outlet of the crushing mechanism is connected to the feed inlet of the screening mechanism. The undersize outlet of the screening mechanism is connected to the feed inlet of the grinding mill 15. The discharge outlet of the grinding mill 15 is connected to the feed inlet of the cyclone separator. A carrier gas source is connected to the pipeline connecting the discharge outlet of the grinding mill 15 and the feed inlet of the cyclone separator. The overflow outlet of the cyclone separator is connected to the feed inlet of the gravity separation system 19.

[0043] The process of separating solid waste after pyrolysis in a pyrolysis furnace through the pyrolysis product separation system of the present invention includes:

[0044] The solid waste is further crushed by a crushing mechanism. The crushed material is then fed into a screening mechanism for screening. The undersize material is fed into a grinding mill 15 for grinding, resulting in smaller solid waste particles. This is beneficial for subsequent cyclone separation and gravity separation. The ground material is then transported to a cyclone separation mechanism via carrier gas from a carrier gas source. The overflow particles from the cyclone separation mechanism are fed into a gravity separation system 19 for further separation. The outlet of the gravity separation system 19 can be connected to the secondary collection hopper 21 and the tertiary collection hopper 22, respectively. Valuable metals separated by the gravity separation system 19 are stored in the secondary collection hopper 21, and positive and negative electrode powders are stored in the tertiary collection hopper 22.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the outlet of the screening mechanism of the present invention is connected to the inlet of the third conveying mechanism or to the inlet of the crushing mechanism. This structural design enables the relatively large solid waste particles obtained by the screening mechanism to be crushed by the crushing mechanism, which is conducive to the full utilization of solid waste.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the above solution, the cyclone separation mechanism of the present invention can adopt a two-stage cyclone separation mechanism connected in series. The two-stage cyclone separation mechanism includes a primary cyclone separator 17 and a secondary cyclone separator 18. The discharge port of the grinding mill 15 is connected to the inlet of the primary cyclone separator 17, and the bottom outlet of the primary cyclone separator 17 is connected to the inlet of the screening mechanism. This structure is designed to allow the relatively large particles separated by the primary cyclone separator 17 to be crushed again by the crushing mechanism, which is beneficial to the full utilization of solid waste. The overflow outlet of the primary cyclone separator 17 is connected to the inlet of the secondary cyclone separator 18, and the overflow outlet of the secondary cyclone separator 18 is connected to the inlet of the gravity separation system 19. The bottom outlet of the secondary cyclone separator 18 can be connected to the primary collection hopper 20 to use the separated solid waste particles as cement clinker.

[0047] In the above-described scheme of the present invention, the first conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism and the third conveying mechanism can all be screw conveyors, and the conveying speed of the screw conveyor is controllable and stable.

[0048] In the above-described scheme of the present invention, the carrier gas source can be a blower 16. The blower 16 can provide carrier gas for transporting solid waste particles obtained by the grinding mill, and can also be used for separation by a cyclone separator.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment describes the working method of a multi-source solid waste high-value treatment system based on coal-fired power plants, including the following steps:

[0052] Wind turbine blades 2 are cut by a pre-cutting system 3 and then sent to storage silos 4. Lithium batteries are also sent to storage silos 4 via belt conveyor 1. The blades and lithium batteries in storage silos 4 are sent to shredder system 6 via a first screw conveyor 5 for further processing. Dust, harmful gases, and inert flue gas from the boiler system generated in shredder system 6 are sent to the environmental protection island 10 of the coal-fired power plant via induced draft fan 23 and finally discharged through chimney 11.

Flue gas enters the pyrolysis furnace 8 through several circumferentially distributed flue gas inlets 85, flows counter-currently upward through a three-stage vibrating screen structure 89, a two-stage vibrating screen structure 88, and a one-stage vibrating screen structure 87, and is finally discharged to the shredder system 6 through a flue gas outlet 84 controlled by a cam opening and closing structure 83 with a periodic opening and closing time (20 minutes). The cam opening and closing structure 83 can realize the periodic opening and closing of the flue gas outlet 84 by utilizing the periodic rotation of the cam structure, so that the pyrolysis furnace can maintain a high temperature and save the heat consumed by the pyrolysis furnace. After pyrolysis in pyrolysis furnace 8, the material is fed into toothed roller crusher 13 via third screw conveyor 12 for further crushing. After crushing, the material is fed into vibrating screen 14 for screening. Coarse particles are returned to toothed roller crusher 13, while fine particles are fed into grinding mill 15 for further grinding. After grinding in grinding mill 15, the material is fed into primary cyclone separator 17 via blower 16 for separation. The underflow particles in primary cyclone separator 17 are fed into vibrating screen 14 for rescreening. The overflow particles from primary cyclone separator 17 are fed into inlet of secondary cyclone separator 18. The overflow from secondary cyclone separator 18 is fed into gravity separation system 19. The cement clinker underflow from secondary cyclone separator 18 enters primary collection hopper 20. The gravity separation system 19 separates valuable metals, which are stored in secondary collection hopper 21, and positive and negative electrode powders, which are stored in tertiary collection hopper 22.
