[0033] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a titanium slag waste gas waste heat utilization system, such as Figure 1-11 As shown, it mainly includes a grate cooling unit 100, a drum 200, an evaporator 300, a superheater 400, an economizer 500 and a control component 600. Among them, the grate cooling unit 100 is used to cool the titanium slag and transmit the high-temperature flue gas formed in the cooling process to the boiler flue 700, which is used to heat the evaporator 300, the superheater 400 and the economizer 500 arranged in the boiler flue 700. The evaporator 300, the superheater 400 and the economizer 500 are connected with the drum 200 to form a heat transfer system for generating superheated steam and transmitting it to the outside. The control component 600 ensures the stable operation of the titanium slag waste gas waste heat utilization system by controlling the operation of the grate cooling unit 100 and the water supply of the drum 200.

[0036] The grate cooling unit 100 is composed of a plurality of grate coolers 110 arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, the grate cooling unit 100 includes two groups of grate coolers 110, which are respectively recorded as the first grate cooler 111 and the second grate cooler 112. The first grate cooler 111 and the second grate cooler 112 transfer heat to the boiler flue 700 through the heat transfer channel 120. In this embodiment, a heat storage body 121 is arranged in the heat transfer channel 120, and the inner layer of the heat storage body 121 is a heat-insulating material, and the outer layer is a refractory material. Figure 2-5 As shown, the heat storage bodies 121 are arranged in a staggered manner in the heat transfer channel 120, and the flow field is evenly mixed and the heat storage is sufficient. During the high-temperature period of the flue gas, the outer surface of the heat storage body 121 is flushed, and the heat storage body 121 absorbs heat and stores energy. During the low-temperature period, the heat storage body 121 releases heat from the inside to the outside through heat conduction and radiation. The enthalpy value and hot air temperature provided by the heat storage body 121 change according to the period, and the cycle is cyclical, which ultimately assists in controlling the waste heat and flue gas energy in a relatively gentle area, and plays a role in stabilizing the flue gas working conditions at the boiler inlet. The heat storage body 121 is a strip body or a mesh body. When the dust in the flue gas is low, a mesh body can be used, and when the dust in the flue gas is high, a strip body can be used.

[0037] The water inlet of the drum 200 is connected to the water outlet of the economizer 500, the downcomer of the drum 200 is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 300, the outlet of the evaporator 300 is connected to the upcomer of the drum 200, and the saturated steam outlet of the drum 200 is connected to the steam inlet of the superheater 400. After receiving the hot water from the economizer 500, the drum 200 transports the hot water to the evaporator 300 to form a steam-water mixture, and the steam-water mixture generated in the evaporator 300 is transported to the drum 200. After steam and water are separated by the drum 200, the separated saturated steam is transported to the superheater 400 to form superheated steam and then output to the outside. In this embodiment, the drum 200 is provided with a water level gauge main pipe 210 and a water level gauge connection header 220. The water level gauge main pipe 210 is connected in series with the header 220 and water level gauges arranged at different positions outside the boiler drum 200 through the water level gauge, and the DCS controller 610 reads the data of the water level gauge main pipe 210. The water level gauge main pipe 210 can make the water level reading of the boiler drum 200 more stable and accurate, which is conducive to controlling the adjustment of the water supply amount of the boiler drum 200 through the DCS controller 610.

[0038] The control component 600 includes a DCS controller 610 and a calorific value detection component 620. In this embodiment, the calorific value detection component 620 is composed of a flue gas flow meter 621 and a flue gas temperature detector 622. Each grate cooler 110 in the grate cooling unit 100 is provided with at least one set of calorific value detection components 620, that is, in this embodiment, the first grate cooler 111 and the second grate cooler 112 are provided with a flue gas flow meter 621 and a flue gas temperature detector 622. The DCS controller 610 is electrically connected to the flue gas flow meter 621 and the flue gas temperature detector 622, collects the flue gas temperature and flue gas flow in each grate cooler 110, and obtains the calorific value in each grate cooler 110 through the flue gas temperature and flue gas flow. At the same time, the DCS controller 610 is electrically connected to the feed water pump of the boiler drum 200 and controls the water supply. The so-called feed water pump of the boiler drum 200 refers to the feed water pump that transports hot water from the economizer 500 to the boiler drum 200.

[0039] The working principle of the titanium slag waste gas waste heat utilization system of the present application is as follows: the titanium slag is transported from the smelting furnace to the first grate cooler 111, the DCS controller 610 first controls the first grate cooler 111 to start, the titanium slag starts to cool in the first grate cooler 111 and transfers heat to the boiler flue 700 through the heat transfer channel 120, and the DCS controller 610 constantly collects data information from the flue gas flow meter 621 and the flue gas temperature detector 622 set on the first grate cooler 111 and generates calorific value. The economizer 500, evaporator 300, and superheater 400 absorb the flue gas heat from the cooling of the titanium slag in the first grate cooler 111 and form a superheated steam production system with the drum 200, and output the superheated steam to the outside through the outlet of the superheater 400. When the DCS controller 610 detects that the calorific value in the first grate cooler 111 is lower than the predetermined value, the second grate cooler 112 is controlled to be turned on. At this time, the titanium slag in the second grate cooler 112 can be the titanium slag output from the same smelting furnace, or the titanium slag input from other smelting furnaces. The high-temperature flue gas generated by cooling the titanium slag in the second grate cooler 112 and the medium- and low-temperature flue gas generated in the first grate cooler 111 at this time are mixed in the heat transfer channel 120 and then transmitted to the boiler flue 700. At the same time, the DCS controller 610 controls the water supply input from the economizer 500 to the drum 200 according to the collected calorific value of the first grate cooler 111 or the average calorific value of the first grate cooler 111 and the second grate cooler 112, so as to ensure that the water supply of the drum 200 matches the calorific value. When more groups of grate coolers 110 are set up in the system due to actual production needs, according to the cooling rate of the titanium slag in the grate cooler 110, when the calorific value collected in the corresponding grate cooler 110 in the DSC system is lower than the preset value, the next grate cooler 110 is turned on to achieve constant output heat and ensure stable operation of the boiler.

[0040] The present invention obtains the staggered operation of the grate cooler and the water supply to the drum according to the heat mean value of the grate cooler unit through the DCS controller, so as to achieve stable output of the waste heat of the titanium slag within a predetermined calorific value range, ensure the stable operation of the waste heat boiler, effectively improve the utilization efficiency of the waste heat, and solve the technical problem of unstable system operation caused by intermittent cooling of the titanium slag and the need to supplement external energy as an auxiliary.
