Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of coal gangue technology, and in particular to a technology for preparing high-strength lightweight aggregate from high-calorific value coal gangue. Background Art

[0002] Coal gangue is solid waste discharged during coal mining and coal washing. It is a black-gray rock with a low carbon content and harder than coal that accompanies coal seams during the coal formation process.

[0003] The main component of coal gangue is silicate (SiO2 content greater than 63%, Al2O3 content greater than 18%), which is very suitable for firing expanded clay (high-strength lightweight aggregate). And because it has a certain carbon content, it contains calorific value, which can reduce the use of fuel during the firing process.

[0004] However, the current coal gangue used to make ceramsite in China is generally low-calorific value coal gangue, and its calorific value is generally controlled within 500kcal / kg. When the calorific value of coal gangue reaches 1000kcal / kg, it can neither meet the conditions for direct combustion of coal nor have a good way to use it. It is generally directly stored and discharged as solid waste.

[0005] The main reason is that in the process of firing expanded clay using high calorific value coal gangue, as the temperature rises, volatile combustible gas will be precipitated from the coal gangue. After the precipitate, the combustible gas will burn violently, instantly raising the ambient temperature to over 1000°C, causing the surface of the ball to melt rapidly to form a layer of vitrified hard shell, which prevents air from entering the interior of the ball and reacting with the fixed carbon in the coal gangue for oxidation. On the one hand, it leads to the presence of unburned fixed carbon in the product, making the product quality substandard. On the other hand, the volatile gas precipitated from the coal gangue is not effectively utilized, resulting in energy waste. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a process for producing high-strength lightweight aggregate from high-calorific value coal gangue. The process for recycling coal gangue resources timely separates the volatile gas precipitated from the coal gangue and transfers it to the sintering stage.

[0015] Step 2, the finished material balls discharged from the bottom of the waterfall rotary kiln are put into the high temperature zone while they are still hot, and air is blown into the high temperature zone by the first blower to obtain the first cooled finished product and the second hot air.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 The present invention is a process flow chart of a process for producing high-strength lightweight aggregate from high calorific value coal gangue. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present invention and are not configured to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0031] The present invention provides a process for preparing high-strength lightweight aggregate from high calorific value coal gangue. Figure 1 The process of preparing high-strength lightweight aggregate from high calorific value coal gangue specifically comprises the following steps: S1. Grinding coal gangue to obtain coal gangue powder, adding water to the coal gangue powder, stirring and mixing, and granulating to form wet coal gangue balls, putting the wet balls at room temperature into a dryer, and simultaneously introducing a first flue gas into the dryer to obtain dry coal gangue balls and a first tail gas.

[0032] In this process, gangue shale crusher, gangue pulverizer, gangue mill and other equipment are used to realize the powder processing of gangue, and appropriate amount of water is added to the gangue powder and stirred to granulate to obtain gangue wet material balls.

[0033] The wet gangue balls are put into a dryer to dry the moisture in the wet balls to prepare dry gangue balls. During the above drying process, the temperature in the dryer is maintained at 120-160°C because the moisture in the wet gangue balls can evaporate quickly within this temperature range and the relative stability of other components in the balls is guaranteed, paving the way for subsequent process steps.

[0034] The first flue gas is the residual tail gas generated by the subsequent process, and the residual tail gas is cooled to 200° C. before being introduced into the dryer as a heat source for the dryer.

[0035] Among them, the temperature of the dried coal gangue balls is about 60°C, and the temperature of the first tail gas is about 120°C.

[0036] S2. The dry gangue balls obtained in S1 are put into a pyrolysis kiln, and a second flue gas is introduced into the pyrolysis kiln to decompose the components of the gangue to obtain first solid balls, a first gas and a second tail gas. The first solid balls continue to flow downward, the first gas is collected under anaerobic conditions, and the second tail gas is cooled to obtain the first flue gas.

[0037] In the above reaction process, the second flue gas is introduced into the pyrolysis kiln before the gangue dry material balls are put into the pyrolysis kiln, the purpose of which is to keep the temperature of the pyrolysis kiln stable within a certain range, so that the pyrolysis kiln is always in the high-efficiency pyrolysis temperature range.

[0038] Among them, the structural shape of the pyrolysis kiln is a double-layer cylinder structure with inner and outer cylinders. The dry material balls move in the inner cylinder, and the second flue gas passes through the gap between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, and transfers heat to the inner cylinder, thereby heating the inner cylinder. The inner cylinder is in an anaerobic environment, and the inner cylinder is fixedly connected and communicated with the sealed air chamber, so that the first gas is output and collected in the sealed air chamber.

[0039] Among them, the temperature of the second flue gas introduced is about 700°C, the temperature of the inner tube is maintained at 300-500°C, the temperature of the obtained first solid pellets is about 400°C, and the temperature of the collected first gas is about 200°C.

[0040] The first gas is volatile gas precipitated from coal gangue, and its main components are CH4 and CO.

[0041] This process step transfers heat through the inner cylinder wall, and effectively separates the second flue gas and the volatilized first gas through the inner cylinder wall, so as to collect high-concentration first gas (calorific value> 1000kcal / Nm³) as fuel for subsequent process steps, realizing energy recovery and utilization. The first gas is collected under anaerobic conditions, and the violent combustion of combustible gases such as methane in the gas can also be avoided to cause the surface of the ball to melt and form a vitrified hard shell.

[0042] In addition, after the second flue gas passes through the gap between the inner tube and the outer tube and transfers part of the heat to the inner tube, a second exhaust gas with a temperature of about 500°C is obtained. The second exhaust gas is sent to waste heat recovery equipment such as a boiler to recover part of the heat and further reduce the temperature of the second exhaust gas to 200°C to obtain the first flue gas.

[0043] S3, putting the first solid ball obtained in S2 into a decarbonizer while it is still hot, and introducing the third flue gas and the first hot air into the decarbonizer to decarbonize the first solid ball, thereby obtaining a second solid ball and a second flue gas.

[0044] Among them, the decarbonizer is a crawler-type static decarbonization equipment. The first solid balls are evenly distributed on the crawler, so that the third flue gas and the first hot air introduced can evenly penetrate the crawler, allowing the surface of the balls to fully contact the gas, thereby stably burning and removing the fixed carbon in the coal gangue.

[0045] Among them, the optimal temperature of the decarbonization reaction is 650-720°C. Technical personnel in this field can flexibly adjust the air intake ratio of the third flue gas and the first hot air to adjust the temperature of the decarbonizer, thereby ensuring the efficient decarbonization process.

[0046] Among them, the temperature of the third flue gas introduced is about 900°C, the temperature of the first hot air introduced is about 250°C, and the temperature of the obtained second solid ball is about 700°C.

[0047] During the above reaction process, the coal gangue balls complete the decarbonization process and realize the crystal phase transformation by using their own fixed carbon calorific value. Part of the silicate components form glass such as mullite, so that the obtained second solid balls have higher strength and strong water absorption performance, and can be used as water-retaining expanded clay and used in deserts, arid areas, etc. as a soil improvement additive to improve the water retention performance of the soil and improve the local environment.

[0048] Of course, when the second solid pellets are used as water-absorbing ceramsite, the second solid pellets obtained in this step only need to be directly air-cooled to room temperature without the need to perform the following steps.

[0049] S4, putting the second solid pellet obtained in S3 into a sintering kiln while it is still hot, introducing the first gas and the second hot air for further sintering processing, and obtaining third solid pellets and third flue gas.

[0050] The temperature of the second hot air introduced is about 500°C, the specific sintering temperature in the sintering kiln is 1050-1150°C, and the temperature of the obtained third solid is about 950°C.

[0051] Among them, the sintering kiln adopts a waterfall-type rotary kiln. The kiln body adopts a streamlined structure design and is provided with three-leaf protrusions in the kiln. Therefore, the waterfall-type rotary kiln can lift the second solid material ball and let it fall downstream at a low rotation speed, so that the second solid material ball can fully contact the flue gas in the waterfall-type rotary kiln, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency, facilitating product firing, and preventing the material from melting and sticking under high temperature conditions.

[0052] During this process, the second solid ball quickly exchanges heat with the flue gas in the waterfall rotary kiln through convection, producing a thermal reaction. Under the high temperature conditions in the waterfall rotary kiln, the mineral components in the second solid ball gradually soften and melt, breaking the original weak connections between the particles and rearranging the crystals to form a new crystal structure with higher strength, generating a new mineral phase, and changing the original composition and properties of the raw materials. As a result, the fired third solid ball has higher mechanical strength and lower water absorption, and can be used as high-strength expanded clay to replace stone as a building aggregate.

[0053] S5. Put the third solid pellet obtained in S4 into a cooler while it is still hot, blow room temperature air into the cooler for cooling, and obtain finished pellets, first hot air and second hot air.

[0054] The temperature of the finished pellets after cooling is about 80°C.

[0055] In the above process, the finished balls discharged from the bottom of the waterfall rotary kiln are put into a cooler, and air is blown into the cooler by a blower to cool the finished balls.

[0056] Among them, the cooler is divided into a high-temperature zone, a low-temperature zone and a finished product zone. The finished material balls unloaded from the bottom of the waterfall rotary kiln are first put into the high-temperature zone while they are hot. The first blower blows air into the high-temperature zone to cool down the finished material balls while heating the room temperature air to obtain the second hot air.

[0057] When the finished pellets in the high temperature zone are cooled to about 550° C., the finished pellets are transferred to the low temperature zone, and air is blown into the low temperature zone by the second blower to obtain the first hot air.

[0058] When the finished pellets in the low temperature zone are cooled to about 300°C, they are transferred to the finished product zone and continue to be air-cooled to about 80°C to obtain the final finished pellets.
