Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to, in particular, the technical field of monitoring and analysis of pulverized coal combustion process, and specifically to a method for real-time monitoring of the changes in the concentrations of CO2 and CO by using spectral direct-reading technology, and then calculating the burnout rate of pulverized coal in a high-temperature environment. Background Art

[0002] The pulverized coal combustion process is an important research topic in the energy-intensive industrial field and is widely applied to high-temperature environments such as blast furnace ironmaking and coal-fired power plants. In these fields, the burnout rate of pulverized coal not only directly determines the fuel utilization efficiency, but also affects the control of pollutant emissions and the operation stability of combustion equipment. However, due to the complex environment in the high-temperature furnace and limited measurement conditions, the direct measurement of the burnout rate of pulverized coal poses great technical challenges.

[0003] The current research field mainly relies on numerical simulation calculations or indirectly estimates the burnout rate of pulverized coal by analyzing the residual carbon content in blast furnace dust (such as petrographic analysis). However, due to the lack of direct experimental data support in the high-temperature combustion zone, the calculation results of these methods are difficult to accurately reflect the actual burnout state of pulverized coal during the combustion process, thus limiting the reliability and application promotion of the research results.

[0004] As the main products of pulverized coal combustion, the generation amounts of CO2 and CO are directly related to the burnout rate of pulverized coal.

Spectral analysis technology has the characteristics of high sensitivity, fast response speed, non-contact measurement, etc., and can overcome many limitations of traditional measurement methods. Therefore, the technical personnel in this field are committed to developing a spectral direct-reading technology to realize the real-time monitoring of the concentrations of CO2 and CO, and combining the amount of pulverized coal participating in the reaction and the amount of oxygen, to calculate the burnout rate of pulverized coal in the high-temperature reaction zone.
