Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hazardous waste resource processing technology, and in particular to a microwave-assisted hot-carrier gas cracking processing system and method for coal tar residue, belonging to the technical field of waste material processing and resource utilization. Background Art

[0002] Coal tar residue is a hazardous waste (HW11 category) generated during the process of coal coking and coal gasification. It has the characteristics of high viscosity, high toxicity and complex composition. The traditional treatment methods have the following key problems:

[0003] Incineration treatment method: secondary pollution is serious. Incomplete combustion produces dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and the emission concentration is likely to exceed the standard. The flue gas contains SO 2 , NOx, heavy metal vapor (such as arsenic, mercury), requiring a complex tail gas purification system (investment cost increased by more than 30%). Waste of resources, coal tar residue has a high calorific value (20-30 MJ / kg), direct incineration only recovers heat energy, and oil resources are not utilized; the residual carbon content in the residue ash is >15%, and the calorific value is not fully released.

[0004] Landfill treatment: Long-term environmental risk. BTEX, phenols, and heavy metals (such as Cd and Pb) in oil residue will seep into the soil and groundwater, and the cost of remediation is high. Pretreatment is required to reduce the oil content to less than 5%, and traditional dehydration / solidification technology is difficult to meet the standard. Land resources are occupied, landfill site selection is difficult, and disposal costs continue to rise.

[0005] Solvent extraction method: Solvent residue and toxicity transfer, commonly used organic solvents are easy to remain in the extraction residue, forming new hazardous waste; the extract needs to be further distilled and separated, which consumes a lot of energy. The economic efficiency is poor, the solvent recovery rate is less than 90%, the processing cost is high, and it is only suitable for oil residues with high oil content.

[0006] Traditional pyrolysis: coking and equipment blockage, strong stickiness of oil residue, forming a coking layer on the inner wall and pipeline of the pyrolysis furnace, requiring frequent shutdown for cleaning; intermittent operation leads to low processing efficiency. Low product quality: pyrolysis oil contains coke powder and asphaltene (>10%), which requires deep refining before use; the oil content of the residue is generally>3%, which is still a hazardous waste (HW11). Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention proposes a technology of using inorganic ash to modify coal tar residue, microwave and hot carrier gas for synergistic cracking, aiming to solve the problems of how to completely degrade organic matter in coal tar residue; how to avoid coking and equipment wall sticking during the cracking process; and how to achieve low energy consumption and high efficiency production.

[0008] The core of the present invention lies in the full process design of "ash granulation-microwave carrier gas synergistic cracking-product high value", which specifically includes the following steps:

[0009] Ash mixing and granulation: Mix coal tar residue with dry and loose inorganic ash (such as lime, carbide slag) with a moisture content of ≤5wt% in a mass ratio of 15%-40%.

[0010] The ash content must meet the following requirements: specific surface area ≥ 20 m² / g, adsorbing oil; non-cohesive, such as industrial waste slag with a CaO content ≥ 50%; formed into particles (spherical / cylindrical) with a diameter of 5-50mm and a porosity of ≥ 30% by an extruder, and the particle compressive strength must be ≥ 5MPa.

[0011] Microwave-hot carrier gas synergistic cracking, the particles are sent into the microwave cracking furnace, and the following are applied simultaneously: microwave radiation: power density 5-50 kW / m³, frequency 915MHz or 2450 MHz; hot carrier gas sweep: temperature 400-800℃ (preferably 600℃), flow rate 0.25-2m / s, penetrating the particle layer from top to bottom; under the synergistic effect of microwave internal heating (molecular vibration cracking) + hot carrier gas external heating (heat transfer and oil and gas carrying), the organic matter is completely cracked within 10-40 minutes.

[0012] Product separation and utilization: After condensation (primary 80℃, secondary -10℃), the cracking gas is obtained to obtain cracking oil (yield 18-25%), which can be cracked again to produce carbon black; residue characteristics: oil content <0.2%; fixed carbon ≥50%, calorific value ≥23 MJ / kg, which can be directly used as a substitute fuel for cement kilns.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following innovative breakthroughs:

[0014] Ash granulation controls material properties: ash absorbs oil to reduce viscosity, and the particle porosity ≥ 30% ensures smooth airflow, solving the problems of wall sticking and coking in traditional technologies;

[0015] Energy-coupled cracking mechanism: microwaves selectively heat polar components, hot carrier gas provides a uniform thermal field and instantly takes away oil and gas, increasing cracking efficiency by more than 40%;

[0016] Dynamic anti-coking design: carrier gas instantly sweeps oil and gas to avoid deposition on the furnace wall;

[0017] Static pyrolysis: through granulation, the pyrolysis products have strength, the whole pyrolysis process is static, there is no softening flow in the pyrolysis process, no wall adhesion, the pyrolysis oil and gas quickly leave the microwave zone with the hot carrier gas, and no coking is produced;

[0018] No dioxins are produced during the entire process and the residues are completely harmless.

[0019] The present invention can achieve:

[0020] Environmental protection: The oil content of the residue is less than 0.2%, meeting the admission requirements of the "Hazardous Waste Landfill Standard" (GB 18598-2019);

[0021] Economical: Low processing cost, the value of pyrolysis oil and residual fuel can offset more than 60% of the cost;

[0022] Industrial feasibility: The equipment can run for a long time without decoking, and the processing capacity is ≥100 kg / h. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Product processing and analysis: After the cracking gas was condensed in two stages (first stage at 80℃, second stage at -10℃), the cracking oil yield reached 22.1% (accounting for 69.2% of the total oil in the raw material); the residue had a porous structure and an oil content of 0.18%; the fixed carbon content was 58.3%, and the calorific value was 23.5 MJ / kg, which met the solid fuel standard of GB / T 30725-2014.

[0033] The obtained pyrolysis oil was heated in a secondary pyrolysis reactor (450°C, N 2 The yield of carbon black was 19.4%. Under the same conditions, when coal tar residue without ash was directly pyrolyzed, the coal tar residue collapsed and adhered when heated, resulting in blockage of the air flow channel, and the oil content of the residue was as high as 12.7%; the yield of pyrolysis oil was only 5.3%, and there was serious coking in the furnace. Embodiment 3

The cracking furnace adopts pulse microwave mode (5s on / 2s off) with a power of 15kW (microwave frequency 2450MHz) to avoid local overheating. Water vapor at a temperature of 600℃ is introduced (flow rate 0.5m / s) and the cracking time is 18 minutes. The oil content of the residue is 0.09% and the fixed carbon content is 62.4%.

[0037] A twin-screw extruder (L / D=15:1, die head aperture 8 mm) was used for granulation to produce honeycomb cylindrical particles with a diameter of 8 mm, a length of 10 mm, and a porosity of 45%.

[0038] The particles were fed into a microwave cracking furnace with a microwave frequency of 915HNz and a power density of 10 kW / m³, and carbon dioxide gas at 720°C and a flow rate of 2 m / s was introduced at the same time. The cracking time was 18 minutes.

[0039] The granular residue after cracking is crushed and carbon black is prepared in a rotary kiln; the cracking oil gas produced during cracking is condensed to obtain cracking oil, which can be sprayed into a vertical carbon black reactor to prepare carbon black.
