Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blue charcoal drying equipment, and in particular to an energy-saving blue charcoal drying system. Background Art
[0002] The semi-coke raw materials used by calcium carbide manufacturers need to be dried in a drying device before entering the furnace to reduce the semi-coke's moisture content. Traditional semi-coke drying systems mainly include boiling furnaces and rotary kilns. The boiling furnace uses carbon powder or pulverized coal as fuel. The specific drying process is as follows: river sand is added to the boiling furnace as bedding. A blower blows strong air through the wind cap to fluidize the bedding. Purchased or self-produced carbon powder is added to the fluidized bedding in the boiling furnace at a given feed rate controlled by a disc feeder and burned. The resulting high-temperature flue gas is sucked into the rotary dryer by negative pressure. The wet carbon material is added to the dryer through a feed pipe and directly contacts the hot flue gas for heat exchange. The carbon material is continuously moved forward in the dryer by the action of the lifting plate and the guide plate until it is discharged from the dryer at the discharge port. It is then sent to the silo for storage by a heat-resistant belt conveyor. The wet and high-temperature flue gas is dusted and settled by a bag filter. The dust ash is stored in the ash silo. The flue gas that meets the emission requirements after filtering is discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney by the induced draft fan.
[0003] There is obvious energy waste in the above-mentioned drying process. First, the carbon content of the dust ash is relatively high, usually as high as 20% or more, and the combustion is not complete; second, the temperature of the discharged flue gas is still relatively high, and the waste heat of the flue gas is not fully recovered and reused. Third, the main structure of the traditional rotary drying kiln includes a rotating drum. The lifting plate in the drum repeatedly lifts the lignite in the drum to form a material curtain, which is then heat-exchanged and dried with the flue gas. The problem with this type of dryer is that the lignite stays in the drum for a short time and it is difficult to fully exchange heat with the high-temperature flue gas. The flue gas discharged from the drum still has a very high temperature, and this part of the high-temperature flue gas directly enters the subsequent dust removal and purification system, resulting in high heat loss and waste of resources; fourth, the drying drum in the existing technology is a steel structure with fast heat dissipation, and also has high heat loss, which needs to be improved urgently.
