Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomass waste gasification treatment, and particularly to a biomass waste gasification device and method. Background Technology

[0002] How to efficiently utilize biomass waste resources is a research hotspot in the energy and environment fields, and it is of great significance to promoting green and low-carbon development. However, due to the diverse types, low calorific value, and poor thermal conductivity of biomass waste, it requires more efficient technical equipment for disposal. This invention provides a biomass waste gasification device and method with high thermal conductivity and efficient recovery of syngas waste heat. After processing by this technology, high-quality green hydrogen can be obtained, along with by-products such as charcoal and fertilizer, while reducing waste.

[0003] Currently, Chinese invention patent number 201911152169.8 provides a closed-type downdraft gasifier. Fuel is discharged into the furnace body through the top hopper via a gas lock discharge valve. A hydraulic lift drives the spreading shaft, which in turn drives the spreading scraper to flatten the fuel. A spreading reducer adjusts the speed of the hydraulic lift. After a series of reactions such as drying, pyrolysis, and reduction in the furnace, the combustible gas produced enters the gas chamber through the pores on the grate. Finally, the gas is sent to the purification equipment or gas terminal through the gas pipe. The gasified fuel has now become ash. Since the grate with pores is tower-shaped, the ash falls into the cone along the grate. The ash is sent to the ash discharge gas lock to be discharged outside the furnace by the ash discharge conveyor. A blower delivers air into the furnace body through the air inlet pipe, squeezing the combustible gas out of the furnace body. Chinese invention patent No. 202311207979.5 provides a biomass gasification furnace and a process for processing biomass raw materials. The gasification furnace has an on-grate design with the inlets for the solid and gas components located at opposite ends. The solid component is fed into the gasification furnace from the top and forms a stable carbon layer on the grate. The gas component is introduced from the bottom of the gasification furnace and undergoes a strong oxidation reaction with the gasification medium at high temperature. The gas then flows upward and reacts further with the carbon layer to remove tar.

[0004] For biomass waste, existing gasification technologies and equipment have not yet comprehensively solved problems such as poor thermal conductivity, poor reaction temperature uniformity, and cumbersome utilization of waste heat from gasification gas. This greatly reduces the utilization rate of biomass waste and results in low-quality syngas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of uneven heating caused by the low thermal conductivity of biomass waste during pyrolysis, which leads to low utilization rate. This invention proposes a biomass waste gasification device and method to improve the temperature uniformity and energy utilization efficiency of biomass waste during the feeding stage, and to efficiently recover the waste heat from the gasification products.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a biomass waste gasification device is characterized by comprising a pyrolysis chamber, a gasification chamber, a combustion chamber, a reduction chamber, a slag discharge device, and a gasification gas waste heat recovery unit connected in sequence; the pyrolysis chamber includes a feed inlet, a shell, a jacket, a disc heating device, and a drive motor; the disc heating device includes a lifting plate, a propulsion plate, an auger-type reverse thrust device, a hollow shaft, and a hollow disc; the hollow disc is welded to the hollow shaft and is internally interconnected for gasification gas flow; the lifting plate is welded along both sides of the hollow disc, and the propulsion plate is arranged along the circumferential sidewall of the hollow disc; the hollow shaft is provided with dynamic sealing mechanisms at both ends, one end of which is... The gasification gas inlet is connected to the gasification gas conveying pipeline, and the other end is the gasification gas outlet; the interlayer is provided with an interlayer gas inlet and an interlayer gas outlet, and the interlayer gas outlet is connected to the hollow shaft through a pipeline; the gasification chamber is provided with at least one gasifying agent nozzle; the combustion chamber is provided with at least one air nozzle; the reduction chamber is provided with a grate and a gasification furnace gas outlet; the slag discharge device includes a slag discharge auger, an ash box, and a slag discharge motor; the gasification gas waste heat recovery unit includes a gasification gas blower and a gasification gas conveying pipeline, and the gasification gas conveying pipeline has two outlets, one of which is connected to the gasification gas inlet of the hollow shaft, and the other is connected to the interlayer gas inlet of the interlayer.

[0018] When the gasification unit gasifies biomass waste, the biomass waste enters the pyrolysis chamber through the feed inlet. During the conveying process by the disc heating device, it absorbs heat and undergoes drying and pyrolysis reactions. After the pyrolysis products enter the gasification chamber, they react with CO2 gas injected through the gasifying agent nozzle. In the combustion chamber, the gasification products undergo partial oxidation with air supplied through the air nozzle, releasing a large amount of heat. The unreacted biochar forms a carbon layer on the grate in the reduction chamber, and reacts with CO2 and H2O in the gaseous products to generate gasified gas, which is mainly composed of CO and H2. The generated gasified gas is sent to the jacket of the pyrolysis chamber and the disc heating device through the gasified gas blower and gasified gas conveying pipeline, transferring heat to the biomass waste and realizing the recovery and utilization of waste heat. Example

[0019] As described in Example 1, a biomass waste gasification device is used for the treatment of corn stalks to improve temperature uniformity, increase energy utilization, and prevent uneven heating that could lead to a decline in product quality. The device has a multi-layered shell structure, with an inner layer of ceramic fiber modules and an outer layer of stainless steel. Its main body has an outer diameter of 300-500 mm, a wall thickness of 1-5 mm, and a total height of 1.5-2.4 m. The disc feeding device is made of stainless steel, with a main body length of 1-1.6 m, a main body diameter of 180-260 mm, and a disc width of 40-80 mm. The lifting plate has a width of 20-40 mm, a thickness of 1-5 mm, and a bending angle of 60-80°. The starting point is located at a distance from the center of the disc... The center position is 60~90mm, the push plate is rectangular in shape, the height is 15~25mm, the thickness is 20~30mm, the tilt angle is 20~35°, the shell and the disc feeding device are placed coaxially, the outer diameter is 230~300mm, the inner diameter is 210~290mm, the hollow discs (16) of the disc feeding device are spaced 200~500mm apart, the screw pitch of the auger type reverse thrust device (14) is 150~250mm, the thickness is 7~10mm, and the diameter is 160~240mm.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment: The shell of the biomass waste gasification device is made of 304 stainless steel, with an outer diameter of 400mm, a wall thickness of 4mm, and a total height of 2.1m.

[0021] The main body of the disc feeding device is 1.3m long, 220mm in diameter, and 50mm wide.

[0026] The biomass waste gasification device is used for straw treatment in the following way: Corn stalks are fed into the pyrolysis chamber of the gasification unit through the inlet. A motor drives a rotating disc at 5 r / min, causing the fuel to dry and pyrolyze within the chamber. By the time the stalks enter the gasification chamber, their temperature has reached 700–800℃. The gasifying agent CO2 is sprayed through nozzles, creating turbulence with the corn stalks, effectively extending the material's residence time and enhancing the collision and contact between gas and solid components, thus improving material conversion efficiency. Subsequently, the product moves to the 1000–1100℃ combustion chamber, where it undergoes partial oxidation with air, releasing a large amount of heat. This process ensures that the corn stalks have efficient heat conduction in each zone, resulting in uniform temperature and significantly improved utilization. Example

The material to be baked is rice husk, the motor rotation speed is 10 r / min, and the rice husk is dried and pyrolyzed under the rotation of the disc. In the whole reaction process, the rice husk is heated evenly, which improves the product quality and utilization rate.
