Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomass and coal coupled power generation utilization, and specifically relates to a biomass pyrolysis and coal combustion coupled utilization system and method. Background Art

[0002] Driven by the dual imperatives of energy restructuring and climate change response, the global energy sector is undergoing profound changes. With the gradual advancement of the "dual carbon" goals, reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency have become core issues for development across all industries. Coal-fired power generation, as a crucial component of traditional energy supply, faces immense pressure to reduce emissions while ensuring energy security. Because coal combustion produces a significant proportion of CO2 emissions, transforming coal-fired power generation into a low-carbon power plant and achieving cleaner and more efficient combustion is a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the energy sector.

[0003] Among the many low-carbon transformation technologies for coal-fired power generation, biomass co-firing has attracted considerable attention due to its unique zero-carbon properties. As a renewable energy source, biomass emits approximately the same amount of carbon dioxide as it absorbs during its growth, making it considered a near-zero-carbon energy source. By co-firing biomass with coal, the carbon intensity of coal-fired power generation can be effectively reduced without changing the existing coal-fired boiler structure. However, biomass and coal exhibit significant differences in combustion characteristics, which directly impact combustion efficiency and stability during the co-firing process.

[0004] Specifically, biomass generally has a higher volatile matter content and a lower fixed carbon content, and its combustion process is faster and more intense, while coal burns relatively slowly and steadily. This difference in combustion characteristics makes it difficult to achieve uniform mixing and sufficient combustion of biomass and coal during the blending process, thereby reducing combustion efficiency. What is more serious is that some biomass is rich in alkali metals, chlorine and other components, which easily escape in gaseous or solid form during the combustion process and deposit on the heating surface of the boiler, forming slagging and corrosion. This not only affects the thermal efficiency and service life of the boiler, but may also cause safety accidents, posing a serious threat to the stable operation of coal-fired power generation.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the problems of low combustion efficiency and boiler slagging corrosion in the process of co-firing biomass and coal, it is particularly important to develop an efficient method for the coupled utilization of biomass and coal. This method should be able to fully utilize the zero-carbon properties of biomass, while overcoming the challenges brought about by the differences in the combustion characteristics of biomass and coal, and ensuring the stability and efficiency of the co-firing process. In addition, the method should also have the ability to effectively handle harmful components in biomass to avoid damage to the boiler. Through such technological innovations, the low-carbon transformation process of coal-fired power generation can be promoted, providing strong support for achieving the "dual carbon" goals. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a system and method for the coupled utilization of biomass pyrolysis and coal combustion. By pyrolyzing biomass and purifying the high-temperature pyrolysis gas obtained by pyrolysis, it can be ensured that its incineration will not produce alkali metals, chlorine elements and other substances that are likely to cause boiler slagging and corrosion. The pyrolytic carbon enriched with components such as alkali metals and chlorine elements can be sold as a product, realizing the resource recovery of alkali metals and chlorine elements and reducing resource consumption.

[0011] Furthermore, the pyrolysis reactor adopts a vertical cylindrical structure with a spiral agitator inside. The furnace body of the pyrolysis reactor is made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant stainless steel; a temperature sensor is provided on the top of the pyrolysis reactor to detect the internal temperature of the reactor.

[0012] Furthermore, the high temperature filter adopts a multi-stage filtration structure, including a coarse filtration layer, a fine filtration layer and a fine filtration layer connected in sequence, the pore size of the coarse filtration layer is 10-20μm, the pore size of the fine filtration layer is 2-5μm, and the pore size of the fine filtration layer is 0.5-2μm.

[0013] The present invention provides a method for using a biomass pyrolysis and coal combustion coupled utilization system, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Biomass that meets the feeding requirements is loaded into the biomass silo and fed into the pyrolysis reactor under the action of a sealed feeder;

[0015] Step 2: The biomass is thermally decomposed in a pyrolysis reactor to produce high-temperature pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis char, wherein the high-temperature pyrolysis gas is fed into a high-temperature filter;

[0016] Step 3: The high-temperature filter filters and purifies the high-temperature pyrolysis gas to remove solid particles contained in the gas. The purified pyrolysis gas is then fed into a coal-fired boiler for combustion.

[0017] Step 4: The coal-fired boiler burns the purified pyrolysis gas and coal to generate high-temperature flue gas, part of which is fed into the pyrolysis reactor to provide heat for the pyrolysis process, and the rest is used to produce steam.

[0018] Step 5: The flue gas after heating by the coal-fired boiler and the pyrolysis reactor is uniformly sent to the flue gas purification system for purification before being discharged.

[0019] Furthermore, in step 1, meeting the feed requirements means that the biomass particles have a particle size of ≤20 mm and a moisture content of ≤20%; and the temperature of thermal decomposition in the pyrolysis reactor is 400-600°C.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 2 and step 3, the biomass is thermally decomposed in the pyrolysis reactor to produce pyrolytic char and the solid produced by filtration through the high-temperature filter is sent to a pyrolytic char cooler, cooled to below 50° C., and then sent to a charcoal storage bin.

[0021] Furthermore, in step 4, high temperature flue gas refers to flue gas temperature ≥ 700°C.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The present invention provides a biomass pyrolysis and coal combustion coupled utilization system. By coupling a coal-fired boiler with a pyrolysis reactor, biomass pyrolysis and coal combustion are coupled. The biomass pyrolysis process fixes volatile components such as alkali metals and chlorine in the biomass into pyrolytic charcoal, where they are enriched. This prevents these substances from entering the gas phase during high-temperature combustion, thereby effectively preventing boiler slagging and corrosion. Simultaneously, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the coal-fired boiler is used to heat the pyrolysis reactor, ensuring sufficient pyrolysis of the biomass, achieving cascaded heat utilization within the system, and improving energy efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, the present invention uses a pyrolytic carbon cooler to cool the high-temperature pyrolytic carbon and then sends it to a charcoal storage bin, which facilitates storage and transportation while ensuring the quality of the pyrolytic carbon. Pyrolytic carbon is rich in carbon and has many high-value applications, such as fuel carbon, activated carbon substrate, electrode material, etc. For pyrolytic carbon that is particularly rich in alkali metals, such as straw pyrolytic carbon, it can also be used as a soil conditioner, carbon-based organic fertilizer, etc., realizing the resource recovery of alkali metals and chlorine elements.

[0025] Furthermore, flue gas from the coal-fired boiler and pyrolysis reactor is fed into a flue gas purification system for purification before discharge, avoiding direct emissions and polluting the environment, thus meeting environmental protection requirements. This design not only achieves efficient biomass utilization, but also promotes resource recycling and environmental protection.

[0026] Furthermore, a portion of the high-temperature flue gas generated by the coal-fired boiler is used to heat the pyrolysis reactor, ensuring the required temperature for the pyrolysis process and sufficient decomposition of the material. Another portion is used to produce steam, which is then used for backwashing the high-temperature filter and the steam power generation system, achieving a cascaded utilization of heat within the system. This design not only improves the system's thermal efficiency, but also enhances its operational stability and extends the equipment's service life.

[0027] Furthermore, the pyrolysis reactor adopts a vertical cylindrical structure with an internal spiral agitator to ensure sufficient mixing and uniform heating of the biomass feedstock, further improving pyrolysis efficiency. Furthermore, the furnace body of the pyrolysis reactor is made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and a temperature sensor is installed on the top to monitor the internal temperature of the reactor in real time, ensuring the stability and safety of the pyrolysis process.

[0028] Furthermore, the system of the present invention utilizes a high-temperature filter with a multi-stage filtration structure to effectively filter and purify the high-temperature pyrolysis gas, removing solid particles contained in the gas, improving the operational stability of the coal-fired boiler, and reducing the risk of boiler slagging and corrosion. Simultaneously, the flue gas from the coal-fired boiler and pyrolysis reactor is uniformly fed into the flue gas purification system for purification, avoiding direct emissions and environmental pollution. This multi-stage filtration and purification design ensures the effective purification and utilization of flue gas, meets environmental protection requirements, and provides strong support for the company's sustainable development.

[0029] The present invention provides a method for using a biomass pyrolysis and coal-fired coupling utilization system, which realizes the efficient coupling utilization of biomass pyrolysis and coal-fired. First, by controlling the particle size and moisture content of the biomass particles, the sufficient decomposition and efficient pyrolysis of the biomass in the pyrolysis reactor are ensured. Secondly, the high-temperature pyrolysis gas is purified by a multi-stage filter to remove solid particles in the gas, thereby improving the combustion efficiency and operational stability of the coal-fired boiler. At the same time, the high-temperature flue gas and steam generated by the coal-fired boiler are fully utilized, providing the necessary energy for heating the pyrolysis reactor and back-flushing the high-temperature filter, thereby realizing the cascade utilization of heat within the system. In addition, the pyrolysis carbon is sent to a carbon storage bin for storage after cooling treatment, which is convenient for subsequent high-value utilization. The entire method of use has a clear process and is easy to operate. It not only improves energy utilization efficiency, but also reduces environmental pollution and equipment loss, with significant economic and environmental benefits.
