Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-rank coal dry distillation technology, and in particular to an external combustion and external heating pulverized coal pyrolysis system and pulverized coal pyrolysis method. Background Technology
[0002] Low-rank coal is characterized by abundant reserves, shallow burial depth, and low economic cost of mining. According to statistics, the global geological reserves of low-rank coal are as high as 4 trillion tons, accounting for 40% of the world's total coal reserves. In my country, the development and utilization of high-quality coal types such as bituminous coal and anthracite have reached saturation, while the large-scale development and utilization of low-rank coal is just beginning.
[0003] Currently, the industrial sector commonly uses internally heated vertical furnaces to upgrade low-rank coal, involving the combustion and dry distillation of a mixture of coal gas and air injected into the furnace. However, this process produces a large volume of coal gas, but its quality is low, with ineffective components such as nitrogen accounting for over 50%. This low-quality coal gas is often only sent to power plants for combustion and power generation, and cannot be further processed into high-value-added chemicals. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the internally heated vertical furnace process, it cannot process fine coal with a particle size of less than 13 mm. To date, the efficient graded utilization of fine coal remains a major obstacle to the industrial application of low-rank coal.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN105018120A discloses a "continuous dry distillation process and apparatus for low-rank pulverized coal." Low-rank pulverized coal enters an externally heated continuous dry distillation refractory furnace through a double-sealed feeding device and a material buffer bin. Raw coal gas is collected through a gas collecting device and a gas collecting chamber and then discharged through a gas collecting system. The furnace charge after dry distillation is discharged through a discharge device. This process achieves continuous dry distillation of low-rank pulverized coal in an externally heated continuous dry distillation furnace. The raw coal gas generated during dry distillation can be quickly discharged, improving light oil yield and coal gas calorific value. During coke discharge, the fine coke can be controlled for uniform and continuous discharge, and the quality of semi-coke is controllable and adjustable. However, because the furnace body is entirely constructed of refractory bricks, the heat transfer efficiency of the apparatus is low, resulting in a small unit capacity and a large overall investment.
[0005] Chinese patent application CN112708434A discloses a "Modular Combination Unit Continuous Low-Rank Coal Pyrolysis Furnace," which can be used for the processing of low-rank coal semi-coke, particularly showing good targeting and applicability for small-particle-size coal and pulverized coal. The overall structure of the pyrolysis furnace consists of multiple furnace body units arranged in a row, each unit being a fully functional furnace body. Each unit is constructed from multiple detachable functional modules. This modular structure allows the coke oven to be disassembled and replaced, reducing construction costs and facilitating maintenance. However, the use of refractory prefabricated modules results in difficult overall casting, complex structure, and low yield, making practical industrial application and promotion challenging.
[0006] Chinese patent application CN111518581A discloses a "Vertical Multi-Pipe Segmented Gas-Conducting External Heating Method and Apparatus for Pulverized Coal Drying," which utilizes a tubular dry distillation process and employs a tower-shaped segmented vertical tubular structure to process raw coal. From top to bottom, the process consists of a drying stage, two dry distillation stages, and a cooling stage. This apparatus can improve the quality of semi-coke, has high heat exchange efficiency, and increases resource utilization and production capacity. However, due to the characteristics of the heat-resistant materials in the dry distillation stage, the high-temperature section equipment experiences unstable production. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention provides an external combustion and external heating pulverized coal pyrolysis system and method. The coal dry distillation device adopts a three-stage structure: a low-temperature pyrolysis drying section, a medium-high temperature pyrolysis section, and an upgraded coal cooling section.

One end of the high-temperature flue gas conveying pipe is connected to the high-temperature flue gas outlet of an external gas combustion furnace through a high-temperature flue gas pipeline, and the other end of the high-temperature flue gas conveying pipe is connected to the high-temperature flue gas distribution pipe. Multiple high-temperature flue gas distribution holes are provided at the top of the high-temperature flue gas distribution pipe, corresponding to multiple flue gas areas in the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section.

[0016] A method for pyrolysis of pulverized coal includes the following processes:
[0017] 1) The raw material fine coal enters the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section of the coal dry distillation unit through the coal bunker at the top of the furnace. It flows down along the coal flow channel and indirectly exchanges heat with the flue gas in the flue gas flow channel in a countercurrent manner to achieve drying and low-temperature dry distillation. The fine coal after low-temperature dry distillation enters the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section for pyrolysis and upgrading. The upgraded coal generated enters the upgraded coal cooling section under the action of gravity and is cooled to room temperature. The cooled upgraded coal is controlled by the coke pusher to control the coke discharge rate and is transported out through the semi-coke conveying device.
[0018] 2) The raw coal powder produced by low-temperature dry distillation in the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section and pyrolysis in the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section, as well as the raw coal gas, tar and moisture, are collected in sections and uniformly combined into the raw coal gas cooling and collection system. After being purified by the raw coal gas purification system, high-calorific-value coal gas is obtained. After being pressurized by the coal gas blower, part of it is sent out as external coal gas and the other part is sent to the external coal gas combustion furnace as rich coal gas for re-combustion.
[0019] 3) The fuel gas for the external gasifier includes rich coal gas from reheating and / or lean coal gas from external sources. The external gasifier controls the combustion heat through a gas regulating valve, maintaining the temperature of the generated high-temperature flue gas at 1100–1400℃. The high-temperature flue gas is evenly distributed to each flue gas flow area of the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section through a high-temperature flue gas distribution system, and indirectly exchanges heat with the fine coal in the coal flow area within the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section. The outlet flue gas temperature of the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section is controlled at 800–950℃. The flue gas exiting the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section is mixed with low-temperature recycled flue gas through a flue gas mixing and temperature control system to control the inlet flue gas temperature of the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section within the range of 600–900℃. The mixed coal gas entering the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section undergoes countercurrent indirect heat exchange with the raw material fine coal, and the outlet flue gas temperature of the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section is controlled within the range of 150–250℃. The flue gas exiting the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section is pressurized by a flue gas fan, with a portion entering the flue gas purification system and the other portion entering the flue gas mixing and temperature control system as low-temperature recycled flue gas.
[0020] The particle size of the raw material fine coal is <13mm.
[0021] The raw coal gas cooling and collection system has an ammonia water spraying cooling and washing device installed in the raw coal gas main pipe to cool the raw coal gas; the flue gas purification system includes a flue gas desulfurization and denitrification system.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0023] 1) The coal dry distillation unit adopts a three-section structure: a low-temperature pyrolysis drying section, a medium-high temperature pyrolysis section, and an upgraded coal cooling section. The exhaust gas generated by the combustion of coal gas in the external coal gas combustion furnace is introduced into the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section to indirectly transfer heat with the fine coal, thereby realizing the step-by-step pyrolysis of the raw material fine coal.
[0024] 2) The maximum heat resistance temperature of the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section is >900℃, and the maximum heat resistance temperature of the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section is >1400℃. This invention utilizes a flue gas mixing and temperature control system to mix low-temperature recycled flue gas into the high-temperature flue gas output to the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section, controlling the inlet flue gas temperature of the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section within the range of 600-900℃. The high-temperature flue gas temperature generated by the external gas combustion furnace is controlled within the range of 1100-1400℃ through the combustion furnace gas regulating valve. This achieves controllable inlet flue gas temperatures for both the medium-high temperature pyrolysis section and the low-temperature pyrolysis drying section, which is beneficial for improving the service life of the coal dry distillation unit and stabilizing product quality.
