TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lime manufacturing, in particular to a process and system for high-purity lime manufacturing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lime, as a basic industrial raw material, has wide application value in metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials, environmental protection and other fields. High-purity lime plays a key role in steel refining, chemical production, waste gas treatment, water treatment and other processes, and the purity and activity of its products directly affect the quality and economic benefits of downstream processes. The preparation of lime usually takes natural limestone as raw material, and calcium carbonate is decomposed to form calcium oxide by calcination reaction under high temperature conditions. However, in actual production, factors such as raw material properties, calcination conditions and cooling methods can significantly affect the quality and preparation cost of the final lime product.
[0003] The existing lime production technology mainly uses vertical kiln or rotary kiln and other thermal equipment for calcination. Although this traditional process has been widely used, it still has limitations in many aspects. In the raw material link, the purity and impurity content of limestone from different sources differ greatly, making it difficult to ensure the homogeneity and high purity of the raw material. In the calcination link, the traditional kiln has local areas of insufficient or excessive calcination, thereby reducing the purity and activity of the product. In terms of combustion and atmosphere control, the existing technology generally lacks precise control means, resulting in high energy consumption and high-emission waste pollution. In the product cooling link, the commonly used air cooling or water cooling methods not only have limited cooling efficiency, but also are difficult to effectively avoid the phenomenon of moisture absorption and carbonization during the cooling process, thereby affecting the storage stability and transportation performance of the product. In addition, the existing technology still lacks a mature and industrialized integrated solution to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions.

[0075] The technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the present application, and additionally, the forms of each structure described in the following embodiments are only examples, and the present application is not limited to each structure described in the following embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0076] The present application provides a process for high-purity lime manufacturing, referring to Figure 7 , the detailed process is as follows:
[0077] Step S1 raw material pretreatment; first perform step S11 vibration feeding pre-screening, using an electromagnetic vibration feeder to continuously and stably feed. The electromagnetic vibration feeder drives the armature to vibrate through the alternating magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil, and then drives the trough to vibrate to realize material conveying. The vibration frequency control range is preferably 15-25 Hz, and the feeding speed is preferably controlled at 2-5 t / h. Preliminary screening is carried out at the same time during feeding, and fine powder with a particle size of less than 3 mm is removed. The principle of this is that fine powder is easy to cause material agglomeration and equipment blockage, affecting the stability of the subsequent process. Then step S12 multi-stage particle size accurate screening is performed, using three layers of vibrating screen mesh for classification treatment, the first layer of screen mesh aperture is set to 20 mm, mainly used for screening out oversized particles; the second layer of screen mesh aperture is 5 mm, used for removing small particles; the third layer of screen mesh ensures that particles within the range of 5-20 mm pass through and are quality graded. The screening efficiency is required to be above 95%. Oversized particles will not be wasted, but will be re-entered into the screening system after crushing treatment, forming a closed circuit, and improving the raw material utilization rate. Step S13 two-stage magnetic separation deep purification is a special process for removing ferromagnetic impurities. Magnetic separation is a method of separation using the magnetic difference of substances. First, a low-intensity magnetic separator is used for treatment, with a magnetic field strength preferably controlled within the range of 800-1200 Gauss; then a high-intensity magnetic separator is used for further treatment, with a magnetic field strength preferably of 8000-12000 Gauss. The magnetic separation speed is controlled at 0.5-1.0 m / s, and through the synergistic effect of two-stage magnetic separation, the total content of iron impurities is reduced to below 0.015%, providing high-purity limestone base raw materials for the subsequent process.
[0078] Step S2 plasma surface pretreatment; the plasma surface pretreatment improves the particle surface properties through physical and chemical dual effects. In step S21 plasma field establishment, a dielectric barrier discharge device is used to generate low-temperature atmospheric pressure plasma. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is a technology that inserts a dielectric barrier layer between two electrodes and generates a discharge phenomenon under the action of a high-frequency high-voltage electric field. The device power is preferably controlled at 1.5-2.0 kW, wherein kW is the power unit kilowatt; the working voltage is set to 3-5 kV, wherein kV is the voltage unit kilovolt; the discharge frequency is 20-50 kHz; the plasma generator adopts a flat plate electrode structure in the form of a ring and is uniformly distributed to ensure the uniformity and stability of the plasma field. In step S22 particle surface micro-modification process, the residence time of limestone particles in the plasma field is preferably controlled at 30-60 seconds. The plasma contains a large number of active particles such as high-energy electrons, ions and free radicals, and these high-energy particles have complex physical and chemical effects with the particle surface. The bombardment of high-energy electrons can effectively remove the organic contaminants and oxidation layer on the surface, while increasing the surface roughness by 15%-25% and increasing the specific surface area of the particles, thereby providing more active sites for subsequent reactions. Step S23 lattice defect activation treatment is a deep effect of plasma treatment. The high-energy bombardment of plasma generates various lattice defects such as point defects and line defects in the limestone lattice, and the defect density increases to 3-5 times compared with the original state. These lattice defects become high-activity reaction sites, significantly improving the reaction activity of the material and increasing the decomposition reaction rate of the subsequent calcination reaction by 30%-50%, thereby significantly improving the overall calcination effect.
[0079] Step S3 staged atmosphere calcination; the staged atmosphere calcination realizes high-quality lime production through precise temperature and atmosphere control. Step S31 waste heat preheating and temperature rising fully embodies the concept of comprehensive utilization of energy. In the preheating section of 400-600℃, the high-temperature flue gas at the kiln tail is used to indirectly heat through a plate heat exchanger. The plate heat exchanger is made of a series of metal sheets with a certain corrugated shape and has the characteristics of high heat transfer efficiency and compact structure. The high-temperature flue gas waste heat at the kiln tail of 1000-1200℃ is used to uniformly raise the material temperature to 580-620℃ through indirect heat exchange, and the heat exchange efficiency can reach 75%-85%. This waste heat utilization method saves fuel consumption by 15%-20% and realizes the cascade utilization of energy. Step S32 oxygen-enriched decarburization pretreatment; in the decarburization preheating section of 600-900℃, oxygen-enriched gas is introduced. Oxygen-enriched gas refers to a gas mixture with an oxygen content higher than 21% in air. The oxygen content of the introduced oxygen-enriched gas is preferably controlled at 25%-30%, and the flow rate is controlled at 100-150 Nm 3 / h, wherein Nm 3 / h. In this oxygen-rich environment, calcium carbonate begins to decompose, the chemical reaction is CaCO3→ CaO + CO2, and the decomposition rate can reach 20%-35% in this stage, and the released CO2 concentration reaches 15%-25%. Such pre-decomposition reduces the reaction load of the subsequent deep calcination stage. Step S33 weak reduction primary calcination uses precise atmosphere control technology. In the primary calcination stage at 900-1100°C, a weak reducing atmosphere with a CO concentration of 1%-3% is used, where CO is the chemical molecular formula of carbon monoxide. The weak reducing atmosphere is achieved by controlling the air excess coefficient α, and the calculation formula of the air excess coefficient is actual air amount / theoretical air amount; the actual air amount is the actual air amount supplied, and the unit is Nm 3 / h; the theoretical air amount is the theoretical air amount required for complete combustion of fuel, and the unit is Nm 3 / h. The preferred air excess coefficient control range is 0.95-0.98. This weak reducing atmosphere effectively inhibits the further oxidation of impurities such as Fe2O3 and Al2O3, while increasing the calcium carbonate decomposition rate to 70%-85%. Step S34 high-temperature oxidation atmosphere deep calcination is the final process to ensure complete decomposition. In the deep calcination stage at 1100-1250°C, an oxidation atmosphere is used, and the oxygen concentration is preferably controlled at 18%-20%, and the material residence time is controlled at 45-60 minutes. Under this high-temperature strong oxidation condition, the residual calcium carbonate is completely decomposed, and the final decomposition rate can reach more than 98.5%, and high-quality calcium oxide products with a purity of ≥98.5% are obtained.
[0080] Step S4 sound wave enhanced mass transfer; sound wave enhanced mass transfer significantly improves the mass and heat transfer effect through the physical action of sound waves. Step S41 secondary sound wave mass transfer promotion uses the deep penetration characteristics of the secondary sound wave. The secondary sound wave is a sound wave with a frequency lower than 20Hz, and the secondary sound wave with a frequency of 35-45Hz and a sound pressure level of 80-100dB is applied in the calcination temperature range of 900-1250°C. Sound pressure level is the logarithmic representation of sound pressure effective value relative to reference sound pressure, and the unit is dB. The secondary sound wave generator is installed on the outer wall of the calcination stage by electromagnetic excitation, and the sound wave penetrates into the particle interior to a depth of 5-8mm. The low-frequency mechanical vibration promotes the diffusion and mass transfer of CO2 gas in the particle interior, increases the mass transfer coefficient by 25%-40%, and accelerates the reaction gas removal process. Step S42 ultrasonic surface activation uses the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20kHz, and a frequency of 18-22kHz and a sound power density of 2-5W / cm 2The ultrasonic wave generator uses a piezoelectric ceramic transducer, a functional material that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The transducers are uniformly distributed in a ring on the inner wall of the calcination section. The ultrasonic waves generate a cavitation effect on the particle surface. Cavitation refers to the phenomenon where bubbles are generated, grow, and burst under the action of ultrasonic waves. Although the mechanism is slightly different in high-temperature solid systems, it can still produce a strong mechanical effect. This effect accelerates the exfoliation of the surface reaction product CaO, increasing the reaction rate constant by 35%-50%.

[0094] Step S6 rapid cooling; rapid cooling is a key process to maintain high activity of the product, and the best effect is achieved by combining various cooling techniques. Step S61 nanofluid rapid cooling uses advanced heat transfer enhancement technology. Nanofluid refers to a new type of heat transfer working medium formed by suspending nanoscale particles in traditional fluid. Al2O3, H2O nanofluid is used as the cooling medium, wherein Al2O3 represents alumina nanoparticles, and H2O represents water-based fluid. The concentration of nanoparticles is preferably controlled at 1%-3%vol, vol is the abbreviation of volume. Nanoparticles are prepared by ultrasonic dispersion technology, which uniformly disperses nanoparticles in liquid by using ultrasonic cavitation and mechanical vibration, and adds a surfactant as a stabilizer to maintain dispersion stability. High-temperature calcium oxide is sprayed and cooled by a high-pressure nozzle at a pressure of 3-5 MPa. The heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid is increased by 20%-30% compared with pure water. This heat transfer enhancement effect makes the material temperature quickly drop to 600-700℃. Step S62 circulating forced air cooling is the second stage of cooling process. After nanofluid spraying cooling, the forced air cooling system is started immediately, the wind speed is controlled at 15-20 m / s, and the wind temperature is controlled at 30-50℃. Forced air cooling uses large volume of cold air to take away the heat on the surface of the material, and the cooling time is 90-120 seconds, which further reduces the material temperature to 150-200℃. This phased cooling strategy effectively controls the cooling rate and avoids thermal stress cracking caused by rapid cooling. Step S63 inert atmosphere protection cooling ensures that the product does not react during the cooling process. N2 or Ar and other inert gases are introduced for atmosphere protection, inert gas is a gas with extremely low chemical activity, which does not react with other substances. The gas flow is controlled at 50-80 Nm 3 / h, which realizes rapid cooling within 2-3 minutes of total cooling time, prevents the reaction of calcium oxide with CO2 and H2O in the air, and maintains the high-quality indicators of product purity ≥98.5% and activity ≥360 mL.

The high-temperature flue gas of 1000-1200℃ generated in the calcination process is cooled by three-stage series heat exchangers in turn, the first stage is reduced to 800℃, the second stage is reduced to 400℃, and the third stage is reduced to 200-250℃, and the heat exchange efficiency of each stage is 80%, 75% and 70% respectively. Then, the primary dust removal is carried out by a cyclone dust collector, which is a device that separates dust by centrifugal force generated by airflow rotation; then, the fine dust removal is carried out by a bag dust collector, which is a device that filters dust-containing gas by using fiber filter material, and the total dust removal efficiency is more than 95%. Finally, SO2 is removed by a desulfurization tower, and the desulfurization efficiency is ≥90%. Step S72 efficient CO2 separation and capture uses chemical absorption method. 30wt% ethanolamine solution is used as absorbent, and wt% represents mass percentage. Ethanolamine, English abbreviation MEA (Monoethanolamine), chemical molecular formula HOCH2CH2NH2, is an organic amine compound with good CO2 absorption capacity. In the packed absorption tower, it is countercurrently contacted with the purified flue gas to achieve the best mass transfer effect. The operating pressure of the absorption tower is preferably 0.1-0.15 MPa, and the temperature is controlled at 40-60℃, and the liquid-gas ratio L / G=3-5, wherein L is the liquid phase flow rate, unit L / h; G is the gas phase flow rate, unit Nm 3 / h; the oblique line represents the ratio. The CO2 absorption efficiency can reach 85%-92%, and the CO2-rich solution is regenerated at 120-130℃ by a desorption tower, which is the reverse process of absorption. The dissolved CO2 is released from the solution by heating. Step S73 CO2 high-value resource utilization realizes waste resource. The captured CO2 is compressed to 5 MPa by a compressor and then transported to the downstream utilization device. According to market demand, different utilization paths can be selected, which is reacted with CaO to prepare nano calcium carbonate, and the reaction formula is CaO+CO2+H2O→CaCO3+H2O. Another is transported to a methanol synthesis device, and reacted with H2 (hydrogen) to synthesize methanol under the action of Cu-Zn-Al catalyst, and the reaction formula is CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O, wherein CH3OH represents methanol, which is a hydrogenation reaction process.
[0096] Step S8 finished product packaging; finished product packaging is the last link to ensure product quality stability. Step S81 fully closed inert atmosphere conveying adopts strict atmosphere control. The cooled calcium oxide product is conveyed by a closed screw conveyor, the conveying pipeline is filled with N2 inert gas with a purity of ≥99.5%, the pressure is controlled at 0.05-0.1 MPa, and the oxygen content is strictly controlled below 0.1%. This fully closed conveying method completely isolates air contact, prevents the product from absorbing moisture and carbonation reaction, and maintains the original high purity and high activity state of the product. Step S82 indirect cooling to room temperature adopts tube and shell heat exchange technology. The tube and shell indirect cooler is a commonly used indirect heat exchange equipment, the cooling medium is circulating cooling water, the inlet water temperature is controlled at 20-25℃, the outlet water temperature is 35-40℃, and the cooling effect is adjusted by controlling the cooling water flow. The cooling time is 30-45 minutes, the product temperature is reduced to within +5℃ of the ambient temperature, and the safety of the packaging process and the stability of the long-term storage of the product are ensured. Step S83 automatic quantitative sealing packaging adopts modern packaging technology. Precise weighing is carried out through an electronic scale, the packaging accuracy is ±0.3%, and the packaging specifications can be selected as 25 kg woven bags or 1000 kg ton bags and other different specifications. The three-layer composite moisture-proof packaging material of PE inner bag + woven bag outer layer + moisture-proof film has good moisture-proof performance. The automatic sealing machine adopts double sealing technology of heat sealing + ultrasonic sealing, the heat sealing temperature is set to 160℃, and the ultrasonic power is 800W. After packaging, dry N2 gas is filled, the filling pressure is 0.02 MPa, the filling time is 15 seconds, the oxygen content in the bag is controlled below 0.1%, the water content of the product is controlled below 0.5%, the activity decay is less than 5% within 24 months of storage, and the long-term storage quality stability of the product is realized. Through the precise cooperation and coordinated execution of the above steps, the process stably produces high-quality calcium oxide products with a purity of ≥98.5% and an activity of ≥360 mL, while achieving multiple goals of energy comprehensive utilization and environmental protection emission.

The CO2 separation and capture system used 30wt% MEA solution to realize countercurrent contact in the packed absorption tower, with an operating pressure of 0.12 MPa, a temperature of 50℃, and a liquid-gas ratio of 4, the CO2 absorption efficiency reached 90%, and the purity of recovered CO2 reached 96.5%. The finished product packaging system was carried out in a completely sealed inert atmosphere, with a N2 purity of 99.6% in the conveying pipeline, a pressure of 0.08 MPa, and an oxygen content controlled below 0.08%. After indirect cooling to room temperature, three-layer composite moisture-proof packaging materials were used, dry N2 gas was filled, the filling pressure was 0.02 MPa, and the oxygen content in the bag was controlled below 0.06%. Through stable operation for 30 consecutive days, the high-purity calcium oxide products produced in this embodiment performed excellently in various indicators.
[0107] Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 1 uses a traditional shaft lime production process as a conventional technology widely used in the industry. This process omits the plasma surface pretreatment step and directly sends the screened and magnetically separated limestone particles into a traditional shaft kiln for calcination. The raw material pretreatment stage only performs simple vibration screening and single-stage magnetic separation. The screening machine uses a two-layer screen structure with a screening efficiency of about 85%, and the magnetic separator uses a permanent magnet roller structure with a magnetic field strength of 800 Gauss. The total content of iron impurities can only be reduced to 0.025%. The calcination process uses a traditional shaft kiln with uneven temperature distribution. The highest temperature is 1100°C, the average temperature is 950°C, and the material residence time in the kiln is 180 minutes. Due to the lack of precise atmosphere control, the kiln is mainly in an oxidizing atmosphere with natural ventilation, and it is impossible to achieve weak reduction atmosphere primary calcination. The calcium carbonate decomposition rate is about 95.5%. The cooling method uses traditional natural air cooling with a cooling time of 4-6 hours. There is no inert atmosphere protection during the cooling process, and the product is prone to moisture absorption and carbonization reaction. The flue gas treatment only uses a simple cyclone dust collector with a dust removal efficiency of about 80%. There is no CO2 capture and resource utilization device, and all flue gas is directly discharged. The packaging process is carried out in a conventional atmospheric environment using ordinary woven bags without inert gas protection.
[0108] Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 2 uses a rotary kiln improved process. The raw material pretreatment uses the same three-layer screening and double-stage magnetic separation as Example 1, and the total content of iron impurities is reduced to 0.013%. The calcination process uses a rotary kiln with relatively uniform temperature distribution. The highest temperature reaches 1180°C, and the material residence time is 90 minutes. The cooling method uses a water cooler for indirect cooling with a cooling time of about 2 hours, which is an improvement over the traditional shaft kiln, but the cooling efficiency is still lower than the nanofluid rapid cooling technology. The flue gas treatment uses a bag dust collector, but there is no CO2 capture device. The waste heat utilization is limited to preheating combustion air, and the power generation is zero. The packaging process uses semi-closed packaging with PE inner bags, but there is no inert gas protection, and the product storage stability is limited.
[0109] Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 3 uses an integrated process with some advanced technologies, including multi-stage calcination and waste heat utilization, but does not use plasma pretreatment and sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology. The raw material pretreatment is exactly the same as Example 1, using three-layer screening and double-stage magnetic separation, and the total content of iron impurities is reduced to 0.012%. The calcination process uses a multi-stage vertical kiln structure to achieve temperature gradient control. The preheating section is 580°C, the decarburization section is 850°C, the calcination section is 1180°C, and the material residence time is 75 minutes. The waste heat utilization uses a simple heat exchanger to preheat the combustion air without an organic Rankine cycle power generation system, resulting in relatively low energy utilization efficiency. The flue gas treatment uses a dust removal and desulfurization device, but does not use CO2 capture and resource utilization. The cooling and packaging processes are basically the same as Example 1, using nanofluid rapid cooling and inert atmosphere packaging.
[0110] The product of each example and the comparative example was tested and analyzed for performance, including product quality index testing, which was performed in accordance with GB / T 5762-2012 “Chemical analysis methods for limestone, quicklime and hydrated lime for building materials”, and JC / T 479-2013 “Building quicklime”. The purity of calcium oxide was determined using EDTA complexometric titration in accordance with GB / T 5762-2012. 1.0000 g of the sample was dissolved with hydrochloric acid and then diluted to 250 mL. 25.00 mL of the sample solution was taken, sodium hydroxide solution was added to adjust the pH value to 12-13, calcium indicator was added, and 0.05 mol / L EDTA standard solution was added dropwise until the end point. The purity of the product of Example 1 was 98.92%, the purity of Comparative Example 1 was 94.85%, the purity of Comparative Example 2 was 97.65%, and the purity of Comparative Example 3 was 98.15%. The activity of calcium oxide was determined in accordance with the JC / T 479-2013 standard using a 4N hydrochloric acid neutralization method. 1.00 g of the sample, which was crushed to pass through a 0.9 mm sieve, was stirred with 40 mL of distilled water at 20°C to form a lime milk. Phenolphthalein indicator was added, and 4N hydrochloric acid standard solution was added dropwise until the red color disappeared. The consumption time and acid amount were recorded. The iron content was determined using the o-phenanthroline spectrophotometric method in accordance with the GB / T 5762-2012 standard. The water content was determined using the drying weight method in accordance with the JC / T 479-2013 standard, and the sample was dried to constant weight at a temperature of 105 ± 5°C. The energy consumption was determined in accordance with GB / T 2589-2020 “General rules for calculating comprehensive energy consumption”. The fuel consumption was continuously measured by a flow meter, the electric power consumption was measured by an electric energy meter, and the waste heat recovery amount was measured by a heat meter. The comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of Example 1 was 850 kgce / t, the comprehensive energy consumption of Comparative Example 1 was 1180 kgce / t, the comprehensive energy consumption of Comparative Example 2 was 1050 kgce / t, and the comprehensive energy consumption of Comparative Example 3 was 920 kgce / t, where ce represents standard coal equivalent.
[0111] The CO2 emission was determined in accordance with GB / T 32151.15-2015 “Requirements for accounting and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions”, including fuel combustion emissions and process emissions. The smoke emission concentration was determined in accordance with HJ 836-2017 “Determination of low concentration particulate matter from waste gas of fixed pollution sources by gravimetric method”. The SO2 emission concentration was determined in accordance with HJ 57-2017 “Determination of sulfur dioxide in waste gas of fixed pollution sources by constant potential electrolysis method”. The production efficiency index was tested, and the calcination reaction time was determined by online monitoring of the CO2 release rate. When the CO2 release rate decreased to less than 5% of the peak value, it was considered that the reaction was basically complete. The product quality stability was determined by continuous sampling and analysis, and the standard deviation of the calcium oxide purity was calculated. The waste heat power generation income was calculated according to the local industrial electricity price of 0.65 yuan / kWh. The annual waste heat power generation income of Example 1 was 350,000 yuan, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 had no waste heat power generation, and Comparative Example 1 had no waste heat utilization. The experimental results are shown in Tables 1-3,Figures 1-6 The results are shown in Table 1.

[0119]
[0120] As can be seen from Tables 1-4, in terms of product quality, the purity of calcium oxide produced in Example 1 reached 98.92%, which was 4.07 percentage points higher than that of Comparative Example 1, 1.27 percentage points higher than that of Comparative Example 2, and 0.77 percentage points higher than that of Comparative Example 3. In terms of activity, Example 1 reached 385 mL, which was 140 mL higher than that of Comparative Example 1, 65 mL higher than that of Comparative Example 2, and 27 mL higher than that of Comparative Example 3. These significant quality improvements were mainly due to the plasma surface pretreatment technology stimulating more reactive sites, the sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology promoting the full reaction, and the precise multi-stage atmosphere control ensuring the optimal reaction conditions. In terms of energy consumption and environmental protection, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of Example 1 was only 850 kgce / t, which was reduced by 28% compared with Comparative Example 1, 19% compared with Comparative Example 2, and 8% compared with Comparative Example 3. In terms of CO2 emissions, Example 1 was 1.65 tCO2 / t product and achieved 15% recycling, while the other comparative examples had no recycling and higher emissions. The emission concentrations of smoke and SO2 were significantly reduced, achieving the goal of clean production. In terms of production efficiency, the calcination reaction time of Example 1 was only 42 minutes, which was shortened by 77% compared with Comparative Example 1, 53% compared with Comparative Example 2, and 44% compared with Comparative Example 3. The product quality stability was significantly improved, with a purity standard deviation of only ±2.8%, which was much lower than that of the other comparative examples. The equipment operation stability also reached the highest level, with a comprehensive operation rate of 96.8%. The activity of Example 1 reached 385 mL, which was 140 mL higher than that of Comparative Example 1, with an increase of 57.1%. The mechanism of this significant increase in activity was that the plasma pretreatment increased the surface roughness of the particles by 15%-25%, significantly increasing the specific surface area and providing more active sites for subsequent reactions. The sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology promoted the rapid diffusion of CO2 gas inside the particles and the timely stripping of surface reaction products through the deep penetration of infrasound and the surface cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves, increasing the reaction rate constant by 35%-50%. The intelligent control system used a deep neural network algorithm to optimize process parameters in real time, ensuring accurate control of key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition during calcination, avoiding the lag and inaccuracy problems in manual or simple automatic control. The iron content of Example 1 was controlled at 0.011%, the moisture content was only 0.38%, and the product quality standard deviation was only ±2.8%, which reflected the precision and stability of the process control of the present application. The two-stage magnetic separation deep purification technology used a series configuration of low-intensity and high-intensity magnetic separators to remove weakly magnetic and strongly magnetic impurities, respectively, with the magnetic field strength increasing from 800-1200 Gauss to 8000-12000 Gauss, ensuring the deep removal of iron impurities. The fully-closed inert atmosphere conveying and packaging system used high-purity nitrogen to control the oxygen content below 0.08%, effectively preventing the product from absorbing moisture and carbonizing during storage and transportation.
[0121] From the comparison of energy consumption and environmental indicators in Table 2, the unit product comprehensive energy consumption of Example 1 is only 850 kgce / t, which is reduced by 28% compared with Comparative Example 1. This significant energy-saving effect is due to the synergistic effect of multiple mechanisms. The waste heat cascade utilization technology recovers the high-temperature flue gas at the kiln tail through the plate heat exchanger, and the heat exchange efficiency reaches 75%-85%, achieving full recovery and reuse of heat energy. The organic Rankine cycle power generation system utilizes medium-high temperature waste heat for power generation, with a power generation power of 65 kW, converting waste heat into electrical energy to realize value-added utilization of energy. The intelligent control system optimizes the fuel supply and air flow through machine learning algorithms, avoiding energy waste in traditional control methods, and reducing fuel consumption by 12%. The sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology shortens the calcination reaction time by 20%-30%, directly reducing heating time and fuel consumption. Example 1 achieves a CO2 recovery utilization rate of 15%, which is due to the application of CO2 capture and resource utilization technology. A 30wt% ethanolamine solution is used to contact the purified flue gas countercurrently in the packed absorption tower, with a CO2 absorption efficiency of 85%-92%. The recovered high-purity CO2 can be used to prepare nano calcium carbonate or synthesize methanol, realizing waste resource utilization and value-added creation. The smoke emission concentration is reduced to 8.5 mg / m 3 , and the SO2 emission concentration is reduced to 32 mg / m 3 . The significant improvement in environmental indicators is due to the application of a multi-stage flue gas purification treatment system, including the comprehensive effect of three-stage series heat exchanger cooling, cyclone dust collector and bag dust collector combined dust removal, wet desulfurization tower desulfurization, etc.
[0122] From the comparison of production efficiency indicators in Table 3, it can be found that the calcination reaction time of Example 1 is only 42 minutes, which is shortened by 77% compared with the traditional shaft kiln process of 180 minutes. This significant shortening of reaction time is mainly due to the activation of more reaction sites by plasma pretreatment technology, the promotion of mass and heat transfer process by sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology, and the creation of optimal reaction conditions by precise temperature and atmosphere control. The significant shortening of reaction time not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption and equipment wear and tear, resulting in comprehensive benefits. The equipment comprehensive operation rate of Example 1 reaches 96.8%, and the raw material utilization rate reaches 96.5%. These excellent indicators reflect the high integration and intelligent level of the process system. The distributed sensor network monitors 90 key parameters in real time, the deep neural network model predicts and optimizes the process parameters, and the PID control algorithm realizes precise automatic adjustment. This intelligent control system significantly improves the stability and reliability of the system, reducing unplanned downtime and raw material waste.
[0123] From the comparison of economic benefit indicators in Table 4, it can be seen that Example 1 brings additional annual waste heat power generation income and CO2 resource utilization income, which is not available in Comparative Example 1. At the same time, Example 1 realizes resource comprehensive utilization and waste resource utilization.
[0124] Calcium oxide purity is one of the most important indicators to measure the quality of lime products, reflecting the degree of complete decomposition of calcium carbonate into calcium oxide and the amount of impurities in the product. From Figure 1 It can be seen that the calcium oxide purity of Example 1 reaches 98.92%, which is increased by 4.07 percentage points compared with 94.85% of Comparative Example 1, increased by 1.27 percentage points compared with 97.65% of Comparative Example 2, and increased by 0.77 percentage points compared with 98.15% of Comparative Example 3, indicating that the advanced technologies such as plasma surface pretreatment, multi-stage atmosphere control calcination, and sound wave mass transfer enhancement used in Example 1 have significant effects on improving product purity.
[0125] The activity index reflects the reaction rate and degree of calcium oxide reacting with water to generate calcium hydroxide, and is a key parameter for evaluating the reaction activity of lime products. From Figure 2 The comparison results can clearly see that the activity of Example 1 reaches 385 mL, which is significantly higher than 245 mL of Comparative Example 1, 320 mL of Comparative Example 2, and 358 mL of Comparative Example 3. The activity of Example 1 is increased by 140 mL compared with Comparative Example 1, with an increase of 57.1%, indicating that the plasma surface pretreatment technology activates more reaction sites, and the sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology improves the mass transfer conditions inside the particles.
[0126] The unit product comprehensive energy consumption is a core indicator for evaluating the energy utilization efficiency of the production process, from Figure 3 It can be seen that the unit product comprehensive energy consumption of Example 1 is only 850 kgce / t, which is reduced by 28% compared with 1180 kgce / t of Comparative Example 1, reduced by 19% compared with 1050 kgce / t of Comparative Example 2, and reduced by 8% compared with 920 kgce / t of Comparative Example 3. The main reasons for the significant reduction of energy consumption of Example 1 include the waste heat cascade utilization technology to improve energy utilization efficiency, the intelligent control system to realize accurate control of fuel supply, the organic Rankine cycle power generation system to recover high-temperature flue gas waste heat, and the sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology to shorten the reaction time and reduce the energy consumption.
[0127] The environmental emission index comparison includes CO2 emission, smoke emission concentration, SO2 emission concentration, and emission reduction rate analysis relative to Example 1. From Figure 4 The subgraphs can be seen that Example 1 performs best in all environmental indicators, with CO2 emission of 1.65 tCO2 / t product and 15% recovery and utilization, smoke emission concentration of only 8.5 mg / m 3 , SO2 emission concentration of only 32 mg / m 3 , which are much better than Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3. Example 1 adopts CO2 capture and resource utilization technology, multi-stage flue gas purification treatment system, and precise combustion control to reduce the generation of pollutants.
[0128] The production efficiency index comparison includes three key efficiency parameters: calcination reaction time, product quality standard deviation, and equipment comprehensive operation rate. Figure 5 It can be seen that the calcination reaction time of Example 1 is only 42 minutes, which is shortened by 77% compared with Comparative Example 1 of 180 minutes, shortened by 53% compared with Comparative Example 2 of 90 minutes, and shortened by 44% compared with Comparative Example 3 of 75 minutes. The product quality standard deviation of Example 1 is only ± 2.8%, which is significantly better than other comparative examples. The equipment comprehensive operation rate of Example 1 reaches 96.8%, which is higher than all comparative examples.
[0129] Figure 6 is a product quality stability comparison, through the time series data of calcium oxide purity in 30 days of continuous production. The time series data is obtained by daily timed sampling analysis, reflecting the long-term stability and quality control level of the production process. Figure 6 It can be seen that the calcium oxide purity of Example 1 remains highly stable within 30 days, with a mean value of 98.92% and a standard deviation of only ± 0.3% or so, while the quality fluctuations of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 are greater. The excellent quality stability of Example 1 is mainly due to the precise adjustment of the intelligent control system, the stability of multi-stage atmosphere control, and the continuous effect of the sound wave mass transfer enhancement technology.
[0130] In summary, the high-purity lime manufacturing process adopted by Example 1 is significantly superior to Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in terms of product quality, production efficiency, environmental performance and economic benefits. In terms of product quality, the calcium oxide purity and activity of Example 1 both reach the highest level, the impurity content is best controlled, and the quality stability is best. In terms of production efficiency, the calcination reaction time of Example 1 is the shortest, the equipment operation rate is the highest, and the production process is the most stable. In terms of environmental performance, the energy consumption of Example 1 is the lowest, and all emission indicators are the best, and CO2 capture and resource utilization are achieved. In terms of economic benefits, the raw material utilization rate of Example 1 is the highest, the production cost is the lowest, and the comprehensive economic benefits are the best; it shows that the organic integration and synergistic optimization of the plasma surface pretreatment, multi-stage gradient atmosphere calcination, sound wave mass transfer enhancement, intelligent control optimization, waste heat comprehensive utilization, CO2 capture and resource utilization and other technologies adopted by the present application produce significant comprehensive effect, and realize the revolutionary improvement and upgrading of traditional lime production process.
