TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of cement rotary kiln, in particular to a high-temperature ammonia burner based on ammonia catalytic cracking for hydrogen production and liquid ammonia atomization combustion and an operation method thereof, which is used for developing a new type of zero-carbon burner. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to reduce carbon emissions of fossil energy, it is necessary to vigorously develop green new energy, including photovoltaic, wind power and the like. Due to the strong random fluctuation of wind energy and solar energy, the utilization rate of new energy is low, which causes resource waste. Therefore, energy storage technology is needed to cut peaks and fill valleys. As a kind of energy storage technology, hydrogen energy has advantages of green, high efficiency, no carbon emission and long storage time, and is an important part of future energy system, which helps to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of high-energy-consumption and high-carbon-emission industries. However, for large-scale application of hydrogen energy, it is urgent to break through the low-cost and high-efficiency fuel cell technology and the low-cost and safe hydrogen storage and transportation technology. The poor safety and high cost of hydrogen storage and transportation have become the main difficulties in the development of hydrogen energy.
[0003] Ammonia, as a carrier of hydrogen, has the characteristics of high energy density, low storage and transportation cost, and high safety, and is expected to break through the bottleneck of hydrogen energy development. However, there are problems such as low flame propagation speed, difficult ignition, poor flame stability, high NOx emission and the like in the application process of ammonia fuel, which need to be solved urgently. x
[0004] Scholars in the field have carried out in-depth research on the problems of difficult ignition and poor flame stability of ammonia, including technologies such as mixing fossil fuel into ammonia, mixing hydrogen into ammonia, plasma combustion and staged combustion technology. Mixing fossil fuel into ammonia can effectively improve the flame propagation speed of the fuel, but it cannot completely solve the problem of carbon emission; ammonia-hydrogen combustion can improve the flame propagation speed and has no additional carbon emission; Chinese patents with patent application numbers CN202210916289.6 and CN202310260532.8 use ammonia online cracking hydrogen production technology to greatly stabilize ammonia flame, but it is still difficult to achieve stable ammonia combustion at high flow rate; plasma can strengthen combustion through thermal effect, chemical effect and transport effect, which can effectively reduce the ignition delay time and improve the flame propagation speed; Chinese patents with patent application numbers CN202111216787.1, CN202110298162.8 and CN202310426844.1 successfully apply plasma ignition technology to aviation engine aviation kerosene ignition and flame stabilization under extreme conditions, and have achieved outstanding results, but there are few reports on the application of plasma ignition technology in the cement industry. The cement rotary kiln has a high temperature requirement (1800 degrees) for the outlet of the burner, while the temperature of most ammonia burners is about 1100 degrees, so it is urgent to develop a high-temperature ammonia burner for the cement rotary kiln.
[0005] In view of the low flame temperature of the ammonia burner, the application provides a high-temperature ammonia burner based on ammonia catalytic cracking hydrogen production and liquid ammonia atomization combustion, which can effectively solve the problems of low ammonia combustion temperature, difficult ammonia ignition under large flow, unstable combustion and the like.
