Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental protection equipment and solid waste treatment technology, and in particular to a fly ash treatment device, system and method for an electromagnetically heated superheated steam coupled rotary kiln. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the treatment of fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration has become a major challenge in the environmental protection field. Fly ash contains high concentrations of organic pollutants such as dioxins and furans, as well as heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, and is classified as hazardous waste (HW18). Traditional fly ash treatment technologies mainly suffer from the following problems:
[0003] 1. Cement solidification method: Although it can stabilize some heavy metals, it is ineffective in degrading organic pollutants and has a large volume increase ratio (1.2-1.5), which poses a long-term risk of pollutant leaching.
[0004] 2. High-temperature melting method: requires a temperature of over 1300℃, has extremely high energy consumption (800-1000kWh / t), and will produce secondary fly ash (accounting for about 3-5% of the processing volume).
[0005] 3. Chemical stabilization: The treatment cost is high (about 500-800 yuan / ton), and the effect on dioxin degradation is limited, achieving only a degradation rate of 50-70%.
[0006] Existing pyrolysis technologies, such as CN223171608U, employ low-temperature pyrolysis systems. While they can achieve 99% dioxin degradation at 350℃, they rely on gas heating, resulting in low temperature control accuracy (±15℃) and insufficient steam utilization. CN222053409U, using an electric arc heater, can reduce pollution, but suffers from severe electrode wear and high maintenance costs. Electromagnetic heating technology in rotary kiln applications (such as CN119681573A) is mostly limited to cylinder heating and is not coupled with a superheated steam system.
[0007] Traditional superheated steam generators (such as CN222824335U) use resistance heating, which has high thermal inertia and slow response speed (5-8℃ / s), making it difficult to meet the precise temperature control requirements of fly ash pyrolysis. While multi-stage electromagnetic induction heating steam generators (such as patent number ZL202321633300.4) can provide a temperature control accuracy of ±1℃, they do not involve a collaborative design with the rotary kiln. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention provides a fly ash treatment device, system, and method for an electromagnetically heated superheated steam coupled rotary kiln to solve existing technical problems, thereby addressing issues such as high energy consumption, incomplete pollutant degradation, and poor system stability in existing fly ash treatment technologies.

[0062] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, when the fly ash treatment system of the electromagnetically heated superheated steam coupled rotary kiln is working, the pre-treated fly ash (moisture content ≤5-8%) enters the feed end of the rotary kiln through a sealed conveying device. Simultaneously, 400℃ superheated steam generated by the electromagnetic heating system is injected in multiple directions through the kiln head and radial nozzles. Under the rotation of the rotary kiln, the fly ash and superheated steam form a "gas-solid two-phase spiral flow," achieving the following synergistic effect:
[0064] 1. Heat conduction mechanism: Superheated steam rapidly transfers sensible heat (1674kJ / kg) to fly ash particles, causing them to heat up to the target temperature within 30 seconds;
[0065] 2. Micro-explosion effect: Steam penetrates into the internal pores of fly ash particles, causing capillary rupture at 400℃, promoting the exposure of pollutants;
[0066] 3. Molecular bond breaking: The CO bond (bond energy of about 465 kJ / mol) in the dioxin molecule breaks under thermodynamic conditions at 400℃, and is converted into a low-toxicity hydrocarbon through the Stevens rearrangement reaction;
[0067] 4. Heavy metal stabilization: in steam The molecules form a stable hydroxyapatite structure with heavy metal oxides.
[0068] The treated fly ash is rapidly cooled to below 80°C by a kiln tail water cooling device (such as CN223077266U) to prevent the resynthesis of dioxins.
[0069] Example 1: 200kg / h pilot-scale system
[0070] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the equipment parameters are:
[0071] Electromagnetic heater: Three-level power configuration (20kW+50kW+100kW), operating frequency 20kHz;
[0072] Steam pipe: Φ89×8mm, length 4.5m, material 06Cr25Ni20;
[0073] Rotary kiln: Φ600×5000mm, rotation speed 1.8r / min, tilt angle 2°;
[0074] Operating procedures:
[0075] 1. System preheating: Start the electromagnetic heater and raise the steam temperature to 400℃ within 18 minutes;
[0076] 2. Feed control: Fly ash is continuously fed at a rate of 200 kg / h, while steam is injected at a flow rate of 120 kg / h.
[0077] 3. Process monitoring: Infrared thermometers are used to ensure that the temperature in the middle of the kiln is maintained at 400±0.5℃;
[0078] 4. Product collection: The treated fly ash is discharged through a water-cooled screw conveyor (cooled to 80℃);
[0079] Performance testing:
[0080] Dioxin degradation rate: 99.82% (from an initial 1520 ng-TEQ / kg to 2.7 ng-TEQ / kg);
[0081] Energy consumption: 165 kWh / t (including system auxiliary power consumption);
[0082] No coking occurred after 30 days of continuous operation.
[0083] By combining a three-stage gradient power electromagnetic coil with a precision temperature control system, precise temperature control of the small-flow fly ash treatment process was achieved. Its innovative gas-solid two-phase spiral flow design ensured the full mixing of superheated steam and fly ash particles, thereby achieving efficient degradation of dioxins and effective stabilization of heavy metals at a low energy consumption level, verifying the feasibility and superiority of this technical route.
[0084] Example 2: 5t / h Industrial System
[0085] Equipment improvements:
[0086] The electromagnetic heater adopts a modular design (six 50kW modules connected in parallel).
[0087] The rotary kiln is equipped with a double spiral guide plate (with alternating lead angles of 15° and 30°).
[0088] The steam nozzle has been optimized into a swirl-direct current composite structure.
[0089] Economic Analysis:
[0090] Investment cost: approximately RMB 5.8 million (of which the electromagnetic heating system accounts for 35%).
[0091] Operating costs: Including electricity consumption (185kWh / t), labor, maintenance, etc., totaling 305 yuan / ton;
[0092] Investment payback period: 3.2 years (based on a processing fee of 800 yuan / ton).
[0093] Through modular design of electromagnetic heating, double helix guide plate structure and optimization of composite nozzles, the system's processing capacity and operational stability have been significantly improved. Its modular configuration enhances the maintainability and scale adaptability of the equipment, enabling the technology to maintain its comprehensive advantages of low energy consumption, high efficiency and economy in large-scale applications.
