The fly ash low-temperature pyrolysis dioxin removal technology has attracted widespread attention due to its low energy consumption, high treatment efficiency, and suitability for continuous large-scale treatment. The key to this technology is to achieve an oxygen-free environment during the reaction process. Currently, nitrogen gas is continuously introduced into the reaction system as a protective gas. However, as the fly ash treatment scale expands, the nitrogen consumption increases dramatically, leading to high electricity consumption of the nitrogen generator unit and a significant increase in operating costs, which restricts the further promotion and application of this technology.

The unreacted fly ash particles carried by the gas phase are captured in the gas-solid separator 5 and then returned to the reactor through the reflux pipe 6 to continue to participate in the reaction, forming an internal circulation and improving the degradation rate of organic matter in the fly ash.

[0027] In order to realize deep catalytic oxidation of the gaseous product generated in the first pyrolysis, and completely decompose the residual dioxin and precursors, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment comprises that the secondary catalytic reactor 9 is internally filled with a catalytic layer taking cordierite honeycomb ceramic as a carrier; and the secondary catalytic reactor 9 is externally wrapped with an electric heating jacket.

[0032] Specifically, the gas heater 14 adopts a shell-and-tube structure, the heat medium inlet thereof is connected with the flue gas discharge pipeline of the external electric heating furnace of the first pyrolysis reactor 4, and the waste heat of the flue gas is used to preheat the circulating gas, thereby realizing the step-by-step utilization of energy.
