Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy development and environmental protection technology, and in particular to a method and equipment for preparing coal-bio-heavy oil blended fuel and testing its combustion characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] Coal, due to its abundant reserves and low price, has long been widely used as a major fossil fuel. However, traditional coal combustion processes suffer from drawbacks such as high ash and slag production, high emissions of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, and large carbon emissions, placing a serious burden on the environment. To achieve clean and efficient combustion, various co-combustion technologies have emerged. Among them, blending coal with renewable biomass liquid fuels is an effective approach that can improve calorific value, enhance combustion characteristics, and reduce pollutant emissions.
[0003] Bio-heavy oil is a high-energy, environmentally friendly fuel produced from biomass raw materials such as agricultural waste, microalgae, and waste oil through processes like pyrolysis and esterification. Its carbon source comes from the biomass-atmosphere carbon exchange cycle, and its combustion does not increase net CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. As a byproduct of biodiesel production, bio-heavy oil mainly consists of O1~O2. 12 Composed of high-boiling-point alcohols, ketones, esters, ethers, and other oxygen-containing functional groups, bio-heavy oil possesses excellent fuel characteristics such as complete combustion, low sulfur content, clean emissions, and high calorific value. It is also widely available, inexpensive, and produced in large quantities annually. However, its direct combustion suffers from poor stability and strong corrosiveness, limiting its independent application. Currently, my country lags behind international advanced levels in the high-value utilization of bio-heavy oil, with most of it being treated as industrial waste.
[0004] Blending biofuel with coal not only improves the calorific value and combustion efficiency of coal-fired power units and reduces pollutant emissions, but also effectively addresses the resource utilization of biofuel, achieving multiple goals of energy conservation, emission reduction, and resource utilization. However, a coal-biofuel blend with high calorific value, combustion stability, and low emissions, along with optimal combustion methods, is currently lacking. Further research is urgently needed to promote the green transformation and upgrading of the coal-fired power energy structure. Summary of the Invention

[0059] The preparation method and combustion performance testing method of the coal-bio-heavy oil blended fuel 101 according to embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to some specific examples.
[0060] I. Preparation of Coal-Bio-Heavy Oil Blended Fuel 101 Example 1: Coal powder (300 mesh sieve, calorific value 26.1 MJ·kg⁻¹, sulfur content 0.625%, nitrogen content 1.16%, oxygen content 9.676%, moisture content 3.39%, ash content 14.04%, volatile matter 30.23%, fixed carbon 52.34%) and bio-heavy oil (38.3 MJ·kg⁻¹, sulfur content 0.073%, nitrogen content 0.18%, oxygen content 11.005%, moisture content 0.49%, ash content 1.61%, volatile matter 96.93%, fixed carbon 0.97%) were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:1, with a total mixed mass of 1 g. The coal powder and bio-heavy oil were thoroughly ground in a mortar to form a homogeneous slurry, which was then dried at 120°C for 24 h.
[0061] Example 2: Coal powder and bio-heavy oil from the same source as in Example 1 were selected, with a coal powder to bio-heavy oil mass ratio of 1:4 and a total mass of 1 g after mixing. The mixture was thoroughly ground in a mortar to obtain a blended fuel slurry, which was then dried at 110°C for 20 h.
[0062] Example 3 The coal powder and bio-heavy oil of the same source as in Example 1 were selected, and the mass ratio of the coal powder to the bio-heavy oil was 4:1. After mixing, the total mass was 1 g. The blended fuel slurry was prepared by grinding in a mortar. Subsequently, the blended fuel slurry was dried at 105 °C for 20 h.
[0063] Comparative Example 1 The coal powder and microalgae of the same source as in Example 1 were selected, and the microalgae had a calorific value of 8.03 MJ·kg-1. After the microalgae were pulverized into powder, the microalgae powder was mixed with the bituminous coal at a mass ratio of 1:1, and the total mass of the mixture was 1 g. The blended fuel was prepared by grinding in a mortar. Subsequently, the blended fuel was dried at 120 °C for 24 h.
[0064] Comparative Example 2 The microalgae of the same source as in Comparative Example 1 were selected.
[0065] Comparative Example 3 The coal powder of the same source as in Example 1 was selected.
[0066] Comparative Example 4 The bio-heavy oil of the same source as in Example 1 was selected.
[0067] II. Test of combustion performance of coal-bio-heavy oil blended fuel 101 (1) Calorific value analysis Referring to Figure 1 The calorific values of Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 3 were analyzed.
[0068] The calorific value of Example 1 before drying was 29.8 MJ·kg⁻ 1 , and after drying, it increased to 32.1 MJ·kg⁻ 1 , which was higher than the calorific value of Comparative Example 3. This indicates that a moderate reduction in water content can significantly increase the effective calorific value.
[0069] The calorific value of Example 2 before drying was 32.2 MJ·kg -1 , and after drying, it increased to 34.7 MJ·kg -1 , which was significantly higher than the calorific value of Example 1, 32.1 MJ·kg -1 . The data shows that the higher the proportion of bio-heavy oil, the higher the overall calorific value of the fuel.
[0070] The calorific value of Example 3 before drying was 26.8 MJ·kg -1 , and after drying, it increased to 28.9 MJ·kg -1 , which was higher than the calorific value of Comparative Example 3, 28.1 MJ·kg -1but lower than the calorific value 32.1 MJ·kg of Example 1 -1 The results show that even if the low blending ratio of bio-oil is used, the fuel calorific value can be effectively improved, and the drying treatment is also significant for improving the effective calorific value.
[0071] The calorific value of Comparative Example 1 is 15.2 MJ·kg -1 , which is significantly lower than the calorific value 32.1 MJ·kg of Example 1 -1 , indicating that the energy density of microalgae is low. The calorific value of Comparative Example 3 is 28.1 MJ·kg -1 , indicating that the calorific value of pure coal is low, and the energy density is low.
[0072] (2) Combustion flame test The combustion performance of Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 was evaluated. The ignition was achieved by using a resistance wire, and the process was divided into three stages: ignition, stable combustion and decay combustion.
[0073] The experimental results show that the flame height and brightness are in the order of Comparative Example 3 < Example 1 < Comparative Example 4; the black smoke concentration decreases in the opposite direction. It is shown that the bio-oil is rich in oxidized functional groups, which can promote the ignition and burnout process, and enhance the combustion reactivity of bituminous coal.
[0074] Example 2 burns rapidly, with bright and stable flame and little black smoke, indicating that increasing the content of bio-oil can improve the combustion efficiency and burnout speed.
[0075] The flame height and brightness of Example 3 are significantly higher than those of Comparative Example 3, but slightly lower than those of Example 1, and the black smoke generation is significantly reduced compared with Comparative Example 2, indicating that even a small amount of bio-oil can improve the combustion efficiency and burnout speed.
[0076] The combustion of Comparative Example 1 is unstable, difficult to ignite, with low flame height, and the combustion is accompanied by obvious black smoke and weak brightness. The flame height and brightness of Comparative Example 1 are slightly higher than those of Comparative Example 2, but lower than those of Example 1, and the black smoke concentration is large, indicating that microalgae is not conducive to promoting ignition and stable combustion.
[0077] (3) Combustion characteristic test Thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTG) test and residue analysis were performed on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4.
[0078] The thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTG) results show that the pyrolysis interval of Comparative Example 2 is 300-600°C, and the main combustion temperature is 532°C; the pyrolysis interval of Comparative Example 3 is 250-520°C, and the main peak temperature is 343°C, 362°C and 416°C.
[0079] The DTG curve of Example 1 is closer to Comparative Example 4, with slightly lower peaks, and the combustion process is dominated by bio-heavy oil; the DTG curve of Comparative Example 4 is high and narrow, with concentrated release, which is conducive to ignition. Residue analysis shows that the residual amount of bituminous coal in Comparative Example 3 is 13.9%, while that in Example 1 is only 0.01%, and Example 1 significantly improves the burnout rate and energy utilization efficiency compared with Comparative Example 3.
[0080] The DTG curve of Example 2 is closer to Comparative Example 4, with main pyrolysis peaks occurring between 350 and 470°C, with peak temperatures of 340°C, 358°C and 410°C, respectively, indicating that the combustion process is obviously dominated by bio-heavy oil, with concentrated and strong heat release. Residue analysis shows that the residual amount of Example 2 is as low as 0.005%, indicating that the combustion is complete.
[0081] The pyrolysis characteristics of Example 3 are dominated by bituminous coal, with a pyrolysis range of 300-580°C, and a main combustion peak at about 523°C, but a small pre-peak (about 410°C) can be observed, which is related to the volatile pyrolysis of bio-heavy oil. The DTG curve shows a wider peak shape and a more dispersed heat release process. Residue rate analysis shows that the residue content of Example 3 after combustion is 7.2%, which is much lower than that of Comparative Example 3 (13.9%), but slightly higher than that of Example 1 (0.01%), indicating that part of the bio-heavy oil can still improve the burnout degree of coal.
[0082] The pyrolysis range of Comparative Example 2 is 220-470°C, with a main peak at 340°C, and the curve is wide and slow, with a dispersed release process. The DTG curve of Comparative Example 1 shows a double-peak shape, corresponding to the pyrolysis process of microalgae and bituminous coal, with peak temperatures of 345°C and 518°C, respectively, with non-concentrated release, making it difficult to form stable combustion. Residue rate analysis shows that the residue rate of Comparative Example 1 is 8.7%, which is much higher than that of Example 1 (0.01%), indicating that the combustion is not complete and the fuel utilization efficiency is low.
[0083] (4) Pollutant emission analysis Examples 1, 2, 3, Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 were burned at a combustion temperature of from room temperature to 1100°C, with a heating rate of 10°C·min-1, and the emissions of SO2 and NO2 were monitored using an online flue gas analysis platform, and the release content of gaseous products during combustion was analyzed using a thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry (TG-MS) analysis platform.
[0084] The monitoring results show that the concentration of SO2 emitted after combustion of Example 1 is only 151 ppm, and the concentration of NO2 is only 18 ppm. Thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry (TG-MS) analysis shows that the release content of main gaseous products during combustion of Example 1 follows the order CO>CO2>NO>SO2>NO2, and the release content of NO is much higher than that of SO2, which is consistent with the fact that the combustion process is dominated by bio-heavy oil. xThe overall emission level of SO2 is low, which reflects the advantage of the coal-bio-heavy oil mixed combustion system in environmental friendliness.
[0085] The emission concentration of SO2 in the combustion process of Example 2 is only 86 ppm, and the detection of NO2 is 9 ppm, which is far lower than the emission level of traditional coal fuel. TG-MS shows that the main products are still CO>CO2>NO>SO2>NO2, the emission is clean, and meets the green fuel standard. Compared with Example 1, the pollutant emission does not increase significantly, which shows that the high mixing ratio still has good environmental protection performance.
[0086] The emission concentration of SO2 in the combustion process of Example 3 is only 237 ppm; the concentration of NO2 is 26 ppm. The thermal gravimetric-mass spectrometry analysis (TG-MS) further shows that the main gaseous products released in the combustion process of Example 3 still follow the rule of CO>CO2>NO>SO2>NO2. Although the emissions of NO x and SO2 increase slightly due to the increase of coal ratio, the overall emission level is low, which shows good clean emission effect.
[0087] The emission concentration of SO2 in the combustion process of Comparative Example 1 reaches 305 ppm, and the concentration of NO2 is 89 ppm, which are significantly higher than the corresponding emissions (151 ppm and 18 ppm) of the 1:1 bituminous coal-bio-heavy oil mixed fuel. It is believed that the relatively high nitrogen content in microalgae is the main reason for the increase of NO x emission, and its incomplete combustion also increases the release of SO2. The above data show that the combustion performance and environmental protection performance of microalgae in the blended fuel are not as ideal as bio-heavy oil.
