DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.
[0028] like Figs. 1-4 As shown, the internal and external heat integrated rotary pyrolysis device with an internal return mechanism of this embodiment includes a supporting device, a cracking inner cylinder 201, a transmission device 5, a kiln tail hood 4, a spiral feeding device 1 for conveying materials and an external flue 3 for introducing flue gas. The cracking inner cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the supporting device, the output end of the transmission device 5 is connected to the cracking inner cylinder 201, the external flue 3 is sleeved on the cracking inner cylinder 201, the outlet end of the spiral feeding device 1 is rotatably connected to one end of the cracking inner cylinder 201, and the other end of the cracking inner cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the kiln tail hood 4; the cracking inner cylinder 201 is arranged at an angle, and a section of the cracking inner cylinder 201 extending into the kiln tail hood 4 is provided with a drum screen 206, the cracking inner cylinder 201 is filled with a heat carrier, and a return spiral 205 for returning the heat carrier is provided on the inner wall of the cracking inner cylinder 201.
[0029] Among them, the heat carrier used in the rotary pyrolysis device is a spherical particle with a particle size of 10 to 30 mm, which can be made of high-temperature resistant alumina, quartz or stainless steel.
[0030] The screw feeding device 1 adopts a tubular screw conveyor. The tail end of the screw feeding device 1 is connected to the cracking inner cylinder 201 through an oil and gas sealing device 7 and extends into the inner cylinder for a certain distance.
[0031] The cracking inner cylinder 201 is arranged obliquely, with an oblique angle of 1°-5°, and can be made of stainless steel material such as 309S or 310S which is resistant to high temperature and corrosion. The inner wall is also provided with a spiral guide plate 202 and a material throwing plate 203, which respectively play the roles of pushing the material forward, preventing the material from flowing backward, throwing the material and strengthening the mixing.
[0032] The spiral guide plate 202 is a short spiral plate group which is circumferentially welded on the inner wall of the furnace head of the cracking inner cylinder 201, and the rotation direction is determined according to the rotation of the cracking inner cylinder 201 to push the material forward.
[0033] The material throwing plate 203 is a metal plate with an angle which is formed by welding two flat plates with an included angle of 120°-150°. A group of the material throwing plates 203 is uniformly arranged along the inner wall of the cracking inner cylinder 201, and multiple groups of the material throwing plates 203 are uniformly arranged along the axial direction of the cracking inner cylinder 201, and adjacent two groups of the material throwing plates 203 are arranged staggeredly.
[0034] The flue gas guide plate 204 is arranged on the outer wall of the cracking inner cylinder 201 in a spiral winding manner, with a spiral angle of 30°-60°, and plays the roles of forcing the flue gas to flow, increasing the flue gas flow rate and strengthening the heat and mass transfer. In addition, the top of the flue gas guide plate 204 and the inner wall of the outer flue 3 have a gap of about 15-50 mm in height to adapt to the equipment processing and installation errors and thermal expansion and contraction.
[0035] The return material spiral 205 is a hollow channel with a rectangular cross section (which can also be designed as a triangular or trapezoidal cross section), which is arranged in a spiral winding manner along the inner wall of the cracking inner cylinder 201, with a spiral angle of 30°-60°, and the rotation direction should ensure that the material in the return material spiral 205 can be reversely transported from the tail of the furnace body to the head of the furnace body during the synchronous rotation of the cracking inner cylinder 201. The starting point of the return material spiral 205 has no gap with the tail of the cracking inner cylinder 201, and when the mixture of the heat carrier and the material is transported from the central part of the cracking inner cylinder 201 to the tail of the cracking inner cylinder 201, the return material spiral 205 can timely shovel the heat carrier into it, so as to reversely transport the heat carrier in the return material spiral 205 to the head of the cracking inner cylinder 201 as much as possible. The end point of the return material spiral 205 is provided with a gap with the head of the cracking inner cylinder 201, so that when the heat carrier reaches the end point of the return material spiral 205, there is enough space for the heat carrier to be squeezed into the central area of the cracking inner cylinder 201 and to be forwardly transported to the tail together with the material, so as to realize the circulation of the heat carrier in the cracking inner cylinder 201. Specifically, the starting point of the return material spiral 205 is located at the position of the drum screen 206 at the tail of the cracking inner cylinder 201, that is, the heat carrier shoveling port, and the side surface of the heat carrier shoveling port is attached to the material blocking ring 207. The end point is located in the arrangement area of the spiral guide plate 202 at the head of the cracking inner cylinder 201, that is, the heat carrier discharging port.
[0036] The drum screen 206 is a curved strip screen with strip-shaped screen holes, has a larger effective screening area, and has the same inner diameter as the cracking inner cylinder 201. The two are rigidly connected. The drum screen 206 is provided with a material blocking ring 207 at the tail. The material blocking ring 207 is an open circular plate, which prevents the hot carrier from overflowing and plays a cofferdam role, and at the same time allows the pyrolysis oil gas to be discharged through the opening of the material blocking ring 207. In order to prevent pyrolysis carbon from blocking the screen surface, a vibration knocking device is also installed on the back of the drum screen 206 to remove the pyrolysis carbon blocking the screen holes.
[0037] The outer flue 3 is a hollow cylindrical cavity structure, which is coaxially sleeved with the cracking inner cylinder 201 through a flue sealing device 8. The flow direction of the flue gas in the outer flue 3 is opposite to the conveying direction of the material in the cracking inner cylinder 201. The outer wall of the outer flue 3 is a steel shell, and the inner wall is paved with refractory castable.
[0038] The kiln tail cover 4 is installed at the tail of the cracking inner cylinder 201. The axial length of the cover shell should ensure that the drum screen 206 is completely contained therein. The cracking inner cylinder 201 is connected through an oil gas sealing device 7. The upper part is a pyrolysis oil gas outlet, and the lower part is a pyrolysis carbon outlet.
[0039] The oil gas sealing device 7 and the flue gas sealing device 8 are both rotary sealing devices. The two oil gas sealing devices 7 are respectively located at the connection positions of the screw feeder 1 and the cracking inner cylinder 201, and the connection positions of the cracking inner cylinder 201 and the kiln tail cover 4. The two flue gas sealing devices 8 are respectively located at the two connection positions of the outer wall flue and the cracking inner cylinder 201.
[0040] The material pyrolysis process of the rotary pyrolysis device is as follows:
[0041] S1: After being crushed and dried, the material is sent into the cracking inner cylinder 201 by the screw feeder 1, and is mixed with high-temperature heat carrier particles that are returned to the furnace head by the return material screw 205 and are reheated. In this process, the material is rapidly heated and undergoes rapid pyrolysis reaction under the combined heating of the high-temperature flue gas in the outer flue 3 and the contact heating of the high-temperature heat carrier, and is converted into pyrolysis oil gas (containing tar and non-condensable olefins and hydrocarbons) and pyrolysis carbon.
[0042] S2: During the operation of the rotary pyrolysis device, the cracking inner cylinder 201 is placed on the supporting device 6 composed of a roller, a blocking wheel, a bearing, etc. by a roller, and rotates around the axis of the cracking inner cylinder 201 at a low speed under the drive of the transmission device 5. At this time, the mixed material entering the furnace will be transported to the furnace tail under the combined action of the guide screw plate, the material lifting plate 203 and the inclined cracking inner cylinder 201.
[0043] S3: Due to the pressure differential between the inside and outside of the cracking drum 201, the pyrolysis oil and gas escape through the mesh of the drum screen 206 and the retaining ring 207, and are discharged from the pyrolysis oil and gas outlet on the upper part of the kiln hood 4 to the rotary pyrolysis unit. The pyrolytic char and heat carrier mixture, as the cracking drum 201 rotates, is conveyed to the screen surface of the drum screen 206 for screening and separation. The fine pyrolytic char passes through the mesh and becomes the undersize material, which is discharged from the rotary pyrolysis unit through the pyrolytic char outlet on the lower part of the kiln hood 4. The coarse heat carrier becomes the oversize material, which is blocked by the retaining ring 207 and stagnates at the end of the drum screen 206.
[0044] S4: The return screw 205, welded to the wall, rotates synchronously with the cracking inner cylinder 201. During this process, the return screw 205 shovels in the heat carrier that has stopped at the tail end of the drum screen 206 every time the cracking inner cylinder 201 rotates one circle. The heat carrier shoveled into the return screw 205 is then returned to the head of the cracking inner cylinder 201 by the reverse spiral conveying action of the return screw 205. During the return process, the heat carrier is heated by the high-temperature flue gas in the external flue 3 in the return screw 205, causing the heat carrier to be reheated and finally sent to the furnace head of the cracking inner cylinder 201, where it is mixed with the fresh material input through the screw feed device 1 to start the next round of material pyrolysis process.
[0045] The rotary pyrolysis device of the present invention adopts an integrated internal and external heat material heating method, which optimizes the heat transfer method by combining the inter-wall heat transfer of high-temperature flue gas with the direct contact heat transfer of high-temperature circulating heat carrier, thereby improving the heating uniformity and pyrolysis rate of the material in the furnace while reducing the generation of non-condensable products such as tar in the pyrolysis products.
[0046] The heat carrier added to the rotary pyrolysis device of the present invention will collide and impact the inner wall of the cracking inner cylinder 201 under the throwing action of the lifting plate 203, thereby removing the coke in the cylinder.
[0047] The rotary pyrolysis device of the present invention integrates the return screw 205 and the drum screen 206 internally, so that the rotary pyrolysis device assumes the screening, return and reheating functions of the heat carrier, thereby eliminating the complex external screening, transportation, lifting, reheating and other equipment required by traditional internal heating pyrolysis devices. It has the advantages of a short process flow, small equipment investment, and low system energy consumption.
[0048] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optional implementation modes. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
