Abstract
Description

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of boiler coking inhibition, and in particular to a coking inhibitor, a method for using the coking inhibitor, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of industry, boilers, as important heat energy conversion equipment, have been widely used in various fields. However, the problem of boiler coking has always been a difficult problem that has plagued the industry. Boiler coking refers to the process in which the ash in the fuel melts at high temperature and adheres to the heating surface to form a hard coke body during the operation of the boiler. Boiler coking can cause many hazards, such as reducing the heat transfer efficiency of the boiler. Because the thermal conductivity of the coking layer is poor, the heat absorbed by the heating surface will be reduced, thereby affecting the steam production and quality. Moreover, severe coking may cause damage to the heating surface, such as causing local overheating and deformation of the pipeline or even bursting, increasing maintenance costs and downtime.
[0003] However, traditional coking inhibitors have the problem of poor stability of effect and cannot work well for different types of sintering coke, such as sintering coke products formed by viscous flow mechanism. Summary of the invention
[0004] Based on this, the present application provides a coking inhibitor that can be used for sintered coking products formed by a viscous flow mechanism, a method for using the coking inhibitor, and an application thereof.

[0038] Bentonite is a clay rock, also known as montmorillonite clay rock, which often contains a small amount of illite, kaolinite, halloysite, chlorite, zeolite, quartz, feldspar, calcite, etc. It is generally white or light yellow, and due to the change of iron content, it can be light gray, light green, pink, brown red, brick red, gray black, etc. It has a waxy, earthy or greasy luster. Some bentonites are loose like soil, while others are dense and hard. The main chemical components are silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide and water, and also contain iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium and other elements. The content of Na2O and CaO has a great influence on the physical and chemical properties and process performance of bentonite.
[0039] Montmorillonite is a layered mineral composed of extremely fine particles of hydrous aluminum silicate, also known as colloid stone and microcrystalline kaolinite. It is the main component of bentonite formed by the alteration of igneous rocks such as volcanic concretion in an alkaline environment. Montmorillonite belongs to the monoclinic system, TOT type, and dioctahedral structure. Molecular formula E x (H2O)4{(Al 2-x Mg x )2[(Si,Al)4O 10 ](OH)2}, where E is the interlayer exchangeable cation, mainly Na + , Ca 2+ , followed by K + , Li + Montmorillonite is mainly formed by the weathering of basic igneous rocks in an alkaline environment, and some are the decomposition products of volcanic ash deposited on the seabed.
[0040] Activated white clay is an adsorbent made from clay (mainly bentonite) as raw material, treated with inorganic acid, rinsed with water and dried. It is a milky white powder, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, with strong adsorption properties, and can adsorb colored and organic substances.
[0041] Talc is a trioctahedral mineral with the structural formula (Mg6)[Si8]O 20 (OH)4.
[0042] Chlorite can be expressed as Y3[Z4O 10 ](OH)2·Y3(OH)6, a general term for a family of layered sodium chloride silicate minerals with monoclinic, triclinic or orthorhombic crystal systems. In the chemical formula, Y mainly represents Mg 2+ , Fe 2+ 、Al 3+ and Fe3+ In some mineral species (such as nickel chlorite, manganese chlorite, lithium borate chlorite, etc.), it can also be Cr, Ni, Mn, V, Cu or Li; Z is mainly Si and Al, and occasionally Fe 3+ or B 3+ However, the so-called chlorite usually refers to the mineral species mainly composed of Mg and Fe, namely, clinochlore, oolite, etc. 2+ :R 2+ The differences in (divalent cation) ratios and the number of Si atoms further lead to subspecies such as chlorochlore and lepidolite.

[0061] The following further specific examples are provided to explain the present application in detail.

The specific process parameters of the following embodiments are also only an example within a suitable range, that is, those skilled in the art can make a selection within a suitable range through the description herein, and are not necessarily limited to the specific values of the embodiments below.

[0063] Example 1
[0064] The composition of the scorch inhibitor provided in this embodiment includes 33.33% by mass of bentonite, 33.33% by mass of chlorite and 33.33% by mass of talc. The above raw materials are prepared and put into a mixer for uniform mixing.
[0065] The formulas and corresponding effects of other embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below. The preparation method is the same as that of Example 1. The coking inhibitors and fuels of the above embodiments and comparative examples are sprayed to the coke bodies in the ascending flue of the metallurgical furnace and the furnace of the power plant for burning domestic waste by compressed air at a mass ratio of 0.5:1000. It can be understood that the difference between the embodiments and comparative examples is only the composition of the coking inhibitors.
[0066] The data in the ascending flue of the Ge Copper Smelter in Table 1 and Table 2 specifically refer to the coking thickness corresponding to the operation cycle of the ascending flue. The longer the operation cycle and the smaller the coking thickness formed, the better the effect. For the coking thickness in the coking test of the side walls and rear arches of the furnace of the domestic waste power plant, the coking inhibitors of each embodiment and the comparative example were added respectively, and the thickness data in the furnace was recorded two days later. The smaller the coking thickness, the better the coking inhibition effect. For the operation cycle of the ascending flue of the side-blown reduction furnace of precious metal anode mud and the cleaning time required in the corresponding operation cycle. The longer the operation time but the shorter the time required for cleaning, the better the effect of the coking inhibitor.
[0067] Table 1
[0068]
[0069] Table 2
[0070]
[0071] The coking inhibitor provided by this application targets the coking in the ascending flue of a copper smelter, which generally contains a high amount of Cu, with a Cu content of up to 72%. The operating cycle before the test was only 4 days, and the furnace was shut down for cleaning because the coking in the ascending flue affected the flue gas circulation. The coking thickness was about 45 cm, and a scaffold had to be set up for cleaning each time, which posed a very high safety risk. After adding the coking inhibitor of this application, the coking condition continued to improve, and the coking in the ascending flue was gradually removed. The wall originally covered with coking became clean, with only a small amount of coking remaining. Basically, the furnace would not be shut down due to the coking problem here, which greatly improved the production efficiency.
[0072] The coking inhibitor provided by the present application is used to treat the coking of the furnace side wall of the grate furnace waste power plant that incinerates domestic waste. Before the test, the furnace side wall had a lot of coking, with a thickness of 800~100cm, and material blocking often occurred, seriously affecting the operation. During the test process after adding the coking inhibitor of the present application, the coke block has maintained a trend of gradually becoming smaller, maintaining the coking balance (increasing and then falling off).
[0073] The coking inhibitor provided by the present application is aimed at treating the coking at the rear arch of the furnace of a grate furnace waste power plant that incinerates domestic waste. The coking problem at the rear arch of the furnace is serious, causing the coke blocks to fall as a whole, resulting in grate failure, and often requiring fire suppression and furnace shutdown for treatment. During the test after adding the coking inhibitor of the present application, it was observed from the fire viewing hole that the coke blocks became smaller and no large pieces of coke fell.
[0074] The coking inhibitor provided by this application is aimed at the coking of the ascending flue of the side-blown reduction furnace for precious metal anode mud. Before the test, the coking from the furnace mouth to the ascending flue was serious, and the furnace was generally shut down for cleaning after 7 days of operation due to the small flue gas flow cross-section. After adding the product, it was in good condition after 28 days of operation. Only a small amount of coking of about 30 centimeters was found on the north side, and there was basically no coking on the other three sides. This shows that the addition of the coking inhibitor of this application effectively controls the coking at this location, greatly prolongs the operation cycle, and reduces the safety risks caused by coking cleaning.
[0075] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0076] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, which is convenient for understanding the technical solution of the present application in detail, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the scope of protection of the present application. It should be understood that the technical solutions obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the technical solutions provided in the present application are all within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present application.
