Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gasification fine slag treatment, and particularly relates to a gasification fine slag dewatering and drying recycling method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of coal chemical industry in China, the annual emission of gasification ash is increasing, and its large-scale disposal and resource utilization is imminent. Gasification ash is mainly divided into gasification coarse slag and gasification fine slag. Gasification coarse slag is a large particle ash discharged from the gasification furnace under the action of gravity after the coal is impacted on the gasification furnace and the liquid ash slag is formed. Gasification coarse slag usually has low carbon content, and can be used as a mixed raw material for roads and building materials because of its similar composition to boiler ash; gasification fine slag is a fine mineral particle and unreacted carbon particle carried out of the gasification furnace by synthetic gas. The ignition loss of gasification fine slag is too large to meet the national and industry standards, and the high residual carbon content hinders the cementation reaction between gasification fine slag and cement or lime, which seriously limits its application in the fields of building materials, construction, etc.

[0003] Gasification ash has not been widely used in large-scale industrial applications due to its large output, low utilization rate and high treatment cost. Landfill is the main disposal method, which not only causes serious land resource waste and environmental pollution problems, but also wastes a large amount of inorganic minerals and carbon resources in gasification ash, which is not in line with the current trend of "carbon peak and carbon neutralization", and is not conducive to the sustainable development of China's coal chemical enterprises.

[0004] With the implementation of China's ecological civilization construction and "solid waste resourceization" strategy, the resource utilization of gasification ash is currently a hot topic. Gasification fine slag contains 20-40% of residual carbon, which has considerable recycling value (mixed burning into boilers and gasification furnaces), but due to the high moisture content of fine slag, it not only reduces the calorific value of gasification fine slag, but also easily causes problems such as sticking, jamming and corrosion, which seriously affects the harmless treatment and resource utilization of gasification fine slag.

[0005] Due to the characteristics of gasification fine slag such as rich pore structure, large specific surface area and small particle size, it has strong adhesion and adsorption performance to water molecules; in addition, flocculants such as polyacrylamide need to be added in the coal chemical black water sedimentation process, and the flocculants and fine slag particles in the black water coagulate into a group to form a flocculated colloidal structure, which has strong water holding capacity, thereby causing difficulty in dewatering gasification fine slag. Due to the structural characteristics and water holding characteristics of gasification fine slag, it is obviously different from other particles such as raw coal (such as lignite), and it is difficult to directly apply or learn from the dewatering treatment process of other materials such as lignite.

[0006] The heating dewatering technology uses dry medium such as hot air, hot flue gas and steam to reduce the moisture of the gasified fine slag by evaporating the dry gasified fine slag. Common heating dewatering equipment includes rotary dryers, disc dryers and the like. However, the heating dewatering method consumes a large amount of energy and has a low energy efficiency ratio. Meanwhile, the method has problems such as large equipment investment and difficult routine maintenance and repair work. In addition, the fine slag with a high residual carbon content after drying has an explosive hazard in an air atmosphere.

[0007] Patent application CN201710321402 discloses a coal gasification system fine slag slurry dewatering and drying method, which comprises the following steps: (a) the fine slag slurry generated by the coal gasification system is subjected to pre-dewatering by a pre-dewatering and thickening device to obtain thickened fine slag slurry; (b) the waste heat resources generated by the coal gasification system are subjected to heat exchange with air, and the air is heated into hot air; (c) the thickened fine slag slurry and the hot air are simultaneously fed into a spray dryer, the thickened fine slag slurry and the hot air are directly contacted and heat transferred in the spray dryer, and the fine slag is obtained after most of the water is removed through the bottom. However, the method uses hot air as a heat source, the heat capacity of air is relatively small, a large amount of hot air is required, the heat efficiency of the waste heat for heating air is low, and the efficiency of the gasified fine slag drying system is relatively low. Meanwhile, a large amount of water vapor is mixed with air in the drying process, the waste heat energy cannot be recovered, a large amount of energy is wasted, the wet drying tail gas at the outlet of the spray dryer contains a large amount of air, the heat exchange efficiency coefficient of the air and the circulating water is low, a large amount of cooling water is required to cool the tail gas in the tail gas condenser, the condensation load of the wet drying tail gas condenser is high, and the exhaust gas emission is also relatively high. In addition, a large amount of tail gas mixed with air and water vapor is generated at the outlet of the dryer through the process, the tail gas is usually directly discharged, so that heat is wasted; or the tail gas needs to be cooled and then subjected to gas-liquid separation, and then discharged, which also causes heat waste; and if the hot air is expected to be recycled, the water content in the air needs to be reduced by deep dewatering of the tail gas, so that the hot air can be reused, however, a large amount of cooling water needs to be used to exchange heat to realize gas-liquid separation, and a large amount of heat needs to be input to the separated air again, which causes the phenomenon of cold and heat.

[0008] How to realize safe, energy-saving dewatering and drying of the gasified fine slag and facilitate the resource utilization of the gasified fine slag is still one of the technical difficulties to be broken through in the field. SUMMARY

[0009] The present application provides a kind of gasification fine slag dewatering drying recycling method and system, using the scheme of the present application, high water content gasification fine slag can be dewatered and dried and used as fuel for resource utilization, carbon resources in gasification fine slag are fully utilized, and the problems such as difficulty in gasification fine slag processing are solved;And the present application does not need to introduce hot air in the dewatering drying process, the secondary steam formed in the drying process can also be directly recycled in the system, the system water resources and energy can be fully and reasonably reused, the energy utilization rate is high, water resource waste is less, and the system safety is good.

[0054] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with examples. It should be understood that the following examples are only for better understanding of the present application, and do not mean that the present application is limited to the following examples only.

[0055] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The term "and / or" as can be used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0056] If the specific experimental steps or conditions are not specified in the examples, the operation or conditions can be carried out according to the corresponding conventional experimental steps in the technical field. If the reagents or instruments used are not specified by the manufacturer, they are conventional products that can be obtained by purchase.

[0057] The present application provides a gasified fine slag dehydration and drying recycling method, mainly comprising the following steps:

[0058] 1) The coal gasification black water is subjected to flash evaporation concentration, sedimentation and filtration dehydration in a black water treatment unit, to obtain flash steam and gasified fine slag to be treated;

[0059] 2) The gasified fine slag to be treated is sent into a fine slag preheater for preheating by a heat medium, to obtain preheated gasified fine slag;

[0060] 3) the preheated gasified fine slag is sent into a drying device to exchange heat with superheated steam to obtain dried gasified fine slag and secondary steam;

[0061] 4) the secondary steam obtained in step 3) is subjected to dust removal treatment, and the obtained dust-removed secondary steam is sent into the fine slag preheater in step 2) to be used as the heat medium to exchange heat with the gasified fine slag to be treated;

[0062] 5) the secondary steam output from the fine slag preheater is subjected to superheating treatment to obtain superheated steam; the superheated steam is sent into the drying device in step 3) to be used for the heat exchange, so that the gasified fine slag is dehydrated and dried to obtain dried gasified fine slag, and secondary steam is obtained again.

[0063] 6) the dried gasified fine slag is sent into a combustion unit as fuel. The residual carbon contained in the gasified fine slag is fully utilized in the combustion unit.

[0064] By the above method, the present application does not need to introduce air or heat the air to realize the drying of the gasified fine slag; the present application uses superheated steam to exchange heat with the gasified fine slag in the drying device, so that the water in the gasified fine slag is vaporized to form new steam, which is mixed with the surrounding superheated steam flow to become secondary steam; as the secondary steam is discharged from the superheated steam drying device, the water is also continuously carried away, so that most of the water in the fine slag is removed, and the gasified fine slag with low water content is obtained. Not only the current environmental protection and resource utilization of the fine slag are met, but also the transportation amount of the fine slag is greatly reduced; at the same time, the secondary steam output from the drying device is recycled in the process system, and after dust removal, it is first used to preheat the gasified fine slag to be treated (which can increase the initial temperature of the gasified fine slag, and is beneficial to obtaining good drying and dehydration effect under the condition of reducing the use amount of superheated steam), and then is superheated to form superheated steam, which is returned to the drying device for reuse. In this way, not only the heat of the secondary steam is reasonably and fully reused, but also the waste of water resources is reduced. The dried gasified fine slag obtained through the above process has a greatly reduced water content, can meet the combustion demand, and is sent into a combustion unit for further utilization.

[0065] In the present application, superheated steam is used as the drying medium in the drying device, which has a large specific heat capacity. Compared with the drying medium of hot air, flue gas and the like in the prior art, the present application has lower energy consumption, a larger convective heat transfer coefficient, smaller water migration resistance, higher heat transfer efficiency, and can achieve higher drying efficiency and energy utilization rate. Moreover, no other gas such as air is introduced into the system, and the secondary steam output by the drying device only needs simple dust removal treatment to be directly reused in the system, and the intermediate links required for recycling are less, and the energy loss is less. Further, the present application does not involve the contact of hot air with the fine slag, and only uses superheated steam as the drying medium, which is safe and can avoid the risk of explosion of fine slag with high residual carbon content in the air atmosphere during the drying process.

[0066] In some embodiments, in step 5), the temperature of the superheated steam obtained by heat treatment is 160-190℃, and the pressure of the superheated steam is 0.2-0.3Mpa; in step 3), the temperature of the secondary steam output in the superheated steam drying device is 130-150℃, and the pressure of the secondary steam is 0.2-0.3Mpa.

[0067] In some embodiments, in step 1), the water content of the fine slag obtained by the black water treatment unit is 40-70wt%, and the water content can be further reduced by the method of the present application, for example, the dried fine slag can be reduced to below 30%, for example, in some embodiments, the water content of the fine slag can be reduced to 10-30%, or for example, in some embodiments, the water content of the fine slag can be reduced to 15-20%.

[0068] In the present application, the water content of the obtained fine slag is greatly reduced, and the energy density is improved, which can greatly reduce the influence of blending combustion on the boiler combustion system. In step 6), the combustion unit includes a coal-fired boiler or a gasification furnace, i.e., the dried fine slag can be sent into the coal-fired boiler for combustion, or into the gasification furnace for blending combustion, so that the carbon resources in the fine slag can be fully utilized. The ash obtained after the fine slag is burned in the combustion unit (such as a coal-fired boiler) can be used as a blending material in the building material or construction field, for example, as a blending material for cement, etc., which can further reduce the processing difficulty and cost of the fine slag and improve its utilization value.

[0069] Preferably, the combustion unit in step 6) includes a coal-fired boiler capable of producing superheated steam, i.e., the dried fine slag is sent into the coal-fired boiler for combustion, and the heat thereof is used to heat the production of superheated steam. The superheated steam produced in the coal-fired boiler is sent to the drying device in step 3) for heat exchange with the fine slag to be treated. In step 6), the dried fine slag is blended with coal powder for use.

[0070] In the present application, in step 5), the superheating medium used for superheating the secondary steam is preferably a waste heat resource of the coal gasification system. In a preferred embodiment, the waste heat resource is coal gasification black water from the coal gasification system, such as black water from the quench chamber of the gasifier and / or black water from the raw gas scrubbing tower used for washing the raw synthesis gas. The coal gasification black water from the coal gasification system is first used as the superheating medium to superheat the secondary steam, and then enters the black water treatment unit of step 1) for further treatment. In another preferred embodiment, the aforementioned waste heat resource is raw gas from the coal gasification system, such as raw synthesis gas from the gasifier which is scrubbed for dust removal by the raw gas scrubbing tower.

[0071] In the present application, preferably, in step 3), the preheated gasification fine slag and the superheated steam are directly contacted and heat exchanged in the drying device.

[0072] In some embodiments, the flash concentration in step 1) specifically comprises the following steps: the coal gasification black water is first sent into a high-pressure flash tower for high-pressure flashing, and then sent into a vacuum flash tower for vacuum flashing. In some embodiments, before being sent into the vacuum flash tower, the coal gasification black water is further sent into a low-pressure flash tower for low-pressure flashing. As to the high-pressure flashing, the low-pressure flashing and the vacuum flashing, they are all conventional operations for flash treatment of coal gasification black water in the art, and thus will not be described here. Through the above-mentioned flash concentration, flash steam and concentrated black water are obtained.

[0073] In some embodiments, in step 1), the settling is performed in a settling tank, and through the settling, slag slurry and supernatant (i.e. grey water) are obtained. During the settling, a flocculating agent can be added to promote the settling of solids, which is a conventional operation in the art and thus will not be described here. Specifically, the supernatant is sent to a downstream grey water tank. The slag slurry obtained by the settling (solid content is for example 10-20 wt%) is subjected to filtration dewatering, for example using a vacuum belt filter or a plate-and-frame filter or a centrifugal dewatering machine for filtration, and the filtration dewatering obtains gasification fine slag to be treated, which still has a relatively high water content, for example a water content of 40-70 wt%. The filtrate obtained by the filtration dewatering is sent into the grey water tank. The water in the grey water tank can be reused in the coal gasification system.

[0074] In some embodiments, the dust removal treatment of the secondary steam output from the drying device in step 4) specifically comprises: first subjecting the secondary steam to cyclone separation by a cyclone separator to obtain primary dust removal, and then sending the secondary steam into a steam washing tower for washing and dust removal by a washing liquid. In the steam washing tower, the washing liquid is specifically brought into countercurrent contact with the secondary steam to wash the ash carried in the secondary steam and ensure the purity of the secondary steam. The washing liquid used is mainly the condensate water generated in the process, as described later. Preferably, the washing water obtained by washing and dust removal of the secondary steam in the steam washing tower is sent into a settling tank. Through the above-mentioned preferred dust removal treatment, the secondary steam can be deeply dust-removed, and the dust content in the secondary steam can be less than 10 mg / m 3 .

[0075] Preferably, in the fine slag preheater of step 2), the secondary steam used as a heat medium is output after heat exchange with the gasified fine slag, and is first sent into a secondary steam separation tank for vapor-liquid separation, and then sent into step 5) for superheating treatment. Preferably, part of the condensate separated in the secondary steam separation tank is sent into a grey water tank or into the steam washing tower to be used as a washing liquid.

[0076] Preferably, in step 5), before the superheating treatment of the secondary steam output from the fine slag preheater, the secondary steam output from the fine slag preheater is first sent into a steam preheater to exchange heat with the high-pressure flash steam obtained from the high-pressure flash tower. Preferably, in step 5), the high-pressure flash steam after heat exchange with the secondary steam in the steam preheater is sent into a flash steam separation tank for vapor-liquid separation, and the condensate separated is sent into the steam washing tower to be used as a washing liquid; the separated steam continues to be processed downstream, such as sulfur recovery treatment, etc.

[0077] In the present application, the superheated steam is used as a drying medium, which has a higher specific heat capacity (1.968 kJ / (kg·K)) and stronger heat exchange capacity compared with low-temperature flue gas and hot air. Meanwhile, the present application exchanges heat between the gasified fine slag to be treated and the superheated steam in the drying device, which can effectively remove water from the gasified fine slag, reduce the water content, improve the energy density, and facilitate the use of the gasified fine slag as fuel in the combustion unit. The present application uses secondary steam to preheat the gasified fine slag to be treated, which can effectively recover and utilize the energy of the secondary steam, improve the initial temperature of the gasified fine slag, and improve the drying effect.

[0078] The present application also provides a system capable of implementing the gasified fine slag dewatering and drying recycling method described above, as shown in Figure 1 , which mainly comprises: a black water treatment unit, a fine slag preheater, a drying device, a secondary steam dust removal unit, a steam superheater, and a combustion unit.

[0079] The black water treatment unit is used for flash evaporation concentration, sedimentation and filtration dehydration of the coal gasification black water, so as to obtain flash evaporation gas and gasification fine slag to be treated;

[0080] The fine slag preheater is used for preheating treatment of the gasification fine slag to be treated by using the heat medium, so as to obtain preheated gasification fine slag;

[0081] The superheated steam drying device is used for heat exchange between the preheated gasification fine slag and the superheated steam, so that the water in the gasification fine slag is removed and vaporized into steam to form secondary steam with the surrounding superheated steam, so as to obtain dried gasification fine slag and secondary steam;

[0082] The secondary steam dust removal unit is used for dust removal treatment of the secondary steam output by the drying device, so as to obtain dust-removed secondary steam; the secondary steam dust removal unit is connected with the fine slag preheater, so that the dust-removed secondary steam is used as the heat medium to be delivered to the fine slag preheater, thereby being used for preheating the gasification fine slag to be treated;

[0083] The steam superheater is used for superheating treatment of the secondary steam output by the fine slag preheater, so as to obtain superheated steam; the steam superheater is connected with the drying device to supply the superheated steam to the drying device;

[0084] The combustion unit is connected with the drying device, and is used for using the dried gasification fine slag as fuel, so that the carbon resources in the dried gasification fine slag are fully utilized.

[0085] The above system is used for dehydration and drying treatment of the gasification fine slag and recycling, and the superheated steam is used for efficient, safe and environmentally friendly dehydration and drying of the gasification fine slag, and there is no explosion risk of contact between the hot air and the high-carbon-content dried gasification fine slag, and the energy utilization rate is higher. Moreover, no air is introduced into the system, and the secondary steam gas flow generated in the dehydration and drying process is mainly steam, which can be recycled without complex intermediate treatment links.

[0098] Table 1 Industrial analysis and loss on ignition of gasification fine slag (with a water content of 60%)

[0099]

[0100] The gasification black water of the plant is dehydrated and dried for reuse by using the method and system of the application. The system used is shown in FIG. 1, and the system and method are not particularly described herein, and can be referred to the foregoing description, which will not be described one by one. In this embodiment, the gasification fine slag drying and dehydration reuse includes the following processing links: Figure 1 1) flash concentration, sedimentation and filtration

[0101] 1.1) flash concentration:

[0102] The black water from the quenching chamber of the gasification furnace and the black water from the coarse coal gas washing tower enter the high-pressure flash tower, and part of the soluble gas is released from the black water under a pressure of 0.6 MPa. The black water at the bottom of the high-pressure flash tower enters the vacuum flash tower, and is further flashed under a pressure of -0.5 MPa to obtain concentrated black water.

[0103] 1.2) sedimentation:

[0104] The concentrated black water obtained in step 1.1) is sent to the sedimentation tank for gravity sedimentation and solid-liquid separation, and a composite flocculating agent (85wt% anionic polyacrylamide and 15wt% coagulant (polyaluminum)) is added to accelerate and promote the sedimentation of the solids in the black water. The slurry containing 20wt% solids (flow rate: 30t / h, temperature: 60℃, water content: 80wt%) is settled at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, and the supernatant of the sedimentation tank enters the grey water tank.

[0105] 1.3) filtration and dehydration:

[0106]

[0107] ​The slurry at the bottom of the settling tank in step 1.2) is pumped to a filter dewatering device (vacuum belt filter) for filtration and dewatering, to obtain the gasification fine slag to be treated (flow rate: 15 t / h, temperature: 60°C) with a water content of 60 wt%, and the filtrate is pumped back to the ash water tank.

[0108] 2) Fine slag preheating:

[0109] The aforementioned gasification fine slag to be treated is sent to a fine slag preheater for indirect heat exchange with a heat medium, to obtain the preheated gasification fine slag; after the system is operated and secondary steam is generated, the heat medium is the dust-removed secondary steam output from the steam scrubbing tower. In the preheating process, the secondary steam is cooled and condensed, and is sent to a secondary steam separation tank for vapor-liquid separation, and the separated condensed liquid (flow rate: 7.5 t / h) is sent to the ash water tank.

[0110] 3) Drying and dewatering:

[0111] The aforementioned preheated gasification fine slag and filter steam are simultaneously sent to a drying device (fluidized bed dryer), and the superheated steam directly contacts the gasification fine slag in the drying device, the gasification fine slag is heated, the water in the gasification fine slag is vaporized and separated to form new steam, and is mixed with the surrounding superheated steam flow to become secondary steam (temperature 144°C, 0.3 MPa, 226.2 t / h). The secondary steam is discharged from the drying device by using the induced draft fan of the drying device, and the water is continuously carried away, so that most of the water in the fine slag is removed, and the dried gasification fine slag (output 7.5 t / h) with a water content of 20% is obtained.

[0112] Table 2 Industrial analysis and loss on ignition of the dried gasification fine slag (water content 20%)

[0113]

[0114] 4) Secondary steam dust removal:

[0115] The secondary steam discharged from the drying device is first separated from most of the solids by a cyclone separator, and the preliminarily dust-removed secondary steam is then introduced into a steam scrubbing tower, where the condensed liquid from the flash steam separation tank is used as a washing liquid to wash the secondary steam to further remove dust, and the finally obtained dust-removed secondary steam contains <10 mg / m 3 of dust. The washing water at the bottom of the steam scrubbing tower is pumped into the settling tank; the dust-removed secondary steam obtained in this step is sent to the fine slag preheater in step 2) as a heat medium for preheating the gasification fine slag.

[0116] 5) Secondary steam preheating:

[0117] The secondary steam (temperature 144℃, pressure: 0.3MPa, flow rate: 218.7kg / h) which has been vapor-liquid separated in the secondary steam separation tank in step 2) is sent to the steam preheater to exchange heat with the high pressure flash steam from the high pressure flash tower, to obtain preheated secondary steam.

[0118] 6) Secondary steam superheating:

[0119] The preheated secondary steam (temperature 150℃, pressure: 0.30MPa, flow rate: 218.7kg / h) exchanges heat with the raw coal gas from the raw coal gas washing tower, to form new superheated steam (temperature 190℃, 0.3MPa, 218.7kg / h); the superheated steam is recycled to the drying device in step 3) (at the initial stage of system operation, step 3) can use fresh superheated steam introduced from outside the system, and during system operation, after superheated steam is generated in the steam superheater, the superheated steam generated in the steam superheater is introduced in step 3).

[0120] 7) Boiler blending:

[0121] The dried gasification fine slag (7.5t / h, moisture content 20%) obtained in step 3) is sent to the coal blending device, the coal powder and the gasification fine slag are mixed and then sent to the coal-fired boiler for combustion treatment, to fully utilize the residual carbon resources in the gasification fine slag. The superheated steam produced in the coal-fired boiler can be used as fresh superheated steam in the drying device.

[0122] By using the above method, 2.24 million tons of coal can be saved per year (the conversion rate of residual carbon in the fine slag is 92%), and according to the average price of fuel coal in the local area, 851.2 million yuan of coal costs can be saved per year. The ash produced by the gasification fine slag boiler blending can be used as a blending raw material for cement, so 600 million yuan of gasification fine slag transportation and landfill treatment can be saved per year.

[0123] In this embodiment, the ash water in the ash water tank is used as the washing water for the raw coal gas washing tower.

[0124] It is easily understood that the above embodiment is only an example for clear illustration, and does not mean that the present application is limited to this. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can also be made by those skilled in the art. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
