Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coatings for water-cooled walls of coal-fired boilers, and in particular to a method for optimizing the selection of materials and construction process for water-cooled wall coatings of coal-fired boilers. Background Technology
[0002] As coal-fired power generating units develop towards high-parameter, large-capacity ultra-supercritical systems, the high-temperature corrosion and slagging problems of boiler water-cooled walls are becoming increasingly prominent. Existing protection technologies face severe challenges: the application of low-NOx combustion technology leads to a strongly reducing atmosphere in the near-wall region of the furnace, significantly increasing the concentration of corrosive media such as H2S; the implementation of coal blending strategies has exacerbated fluctuations in the quality of coal entering the furnace, further worsening the corrosive environment. Traditional coating technologies have significant shortcomings: material selection relies heavily on experience, lacking specificity for complex corrosion mechanisms; construction processes are rigid and fail to effectively coordinate with material properties; performance evaluation systems are incomplete, with a serious disconnect between laboratory data and field performance; and environmental risks are completely lacking. Furthermore, the contradictions between corrosion protection and multiple objectives such as combustion efficiency and pollutant control are difficult to reconcile.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN117801577A discloses a coating for water-cooled walls of coal-fired boilers, its preparation method, and its application. The coating comprises nano-tungsten powder, tungsten carbide, rare earth composites, sodium borate, potassium chromate, rock pitch, binder, modifier, dispersant, defoamer, curing agent, and solvent. When this coating is fused onto the water-cooled wall of a coal-fired boiler, the resulting coating exhibits good interfacial bonding with the water-cooled wall composite coating material, low porosity, and prevents the penetration of corrosive gases and liquids, thus solving the corrosion problem of the water-cooled wall and preventing a decrease in coating hardness and wear resistance. This coating is not easily worn or damaged during long-term use, improving the high-temperature resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of the boiler water-cooled wall, effectively extending its service life and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the coal-fired boiler. However, this solution still suffers from the problems of existing coal-fired boiler water-cooled wall protection technologies, which suffer from poor adaptability, short lifespan, and easy early failure of coatings in actual complex corrosive environments due to the lack of targeted material selection, rigid process parameters, imperfect performance evaluation system and lack of environmental risk consideration. Furthermore, it is difficult to balance the protective effect with environmental protection requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for optimizing the material selection and construction process of water-cooled wall coatings for coal-fired boilers, in order to overcome the problems of existing coal-fired boiler water-cooled wall protection technologies, which suffer from poor adaptability, short lifespan, easy early failure, and difficulty in balancing protective effect and environmental protection requirements due to the lack of targeted material selection, rigid process parameters, imperfect performance evaluation system and lack of environmental risk consideration.

Step S62: If it is found that the coating has insufficient resistance to slag erosion in a specific area, the feedback is sent to the material screening stage of step S2, requiring the addition of 5% SiC to the surface layer to improve the erosion resistance; if the coating adhesion is found to be insufficient, the feedback is sent to the process optimization stage of step S3, adjusting the spraying parameters or introducing post-treatment processes; until the coating life is expected to reach more than 4 years.

The method for optimizing the material selection and application process of water wall coating for coal-fired boilers as claimed in claim 1, wherein, The step S5 comprises: Step S51, the processed coating is applied to the burner area of a million-kilowatt ultra-supercritical unit boiler, and an adjacent non-coated area is reserved as a comparison; Step S52, during the operation of the million-kilowatt ultra-supercritical unit boiler, the wall H2S concentration and the pipe wall temperature of the coated area and the comparison area are monitored, so that first monitoring data are obtained; during the shutdown maintenance, the macroscopic morphology of the coating, the coking condition and the pipe wall thinning amount are checked, so that second monitoring data are obtained; the first monitoring data and the second monitoring data are taken as operation performance monitoring data and are outputted; Step S53, during the boiler shutdown cleaning of the million-kilowatt ultra-supercritical unit boiler, the discharged wastewater is sampled and detected, so that third monitoring data are obtained. The suspended matter concentration is required to be less than 50 mg / L, and the Ni and Cr heavy metal ion concentrations are required to be less than 1 mg / L. The third monitoring data are taken as environmental emission monitoring data and are outputted.
10. The method for optimizing the material selection and application process of water wall coating for coal-fired boilers as claimed in claim 1, wherein, The data feedback and coating system iterative optimization in the step S6 specifically comprise: Step S61, the operation performance monitoring data and the environmental emission monitoring data are compared and correlated with the performance simulation detection results and the water pollution correlation analysis results in the step S4, so that the dominant failure mechanism of the processed coating in actual service is identified; Step S62, if it is identified that the anti-slag erosion performance of the coating in a specific area is insufficient, the feedback is given to the material screening stage of the step S2, and 5% SiC is required to be added to the surface layer to improve the anti-erosion performance; if it is detected that the adhesion of the coating is insufficient, the feedback is given to the process optimization stage of the step S3, and the spraying parameters are adjusted or a post-treatment process is introduced; until the coating life is expected to be more than 4 years.
