Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coal coking technology, specifically a method for predicting the maximum fluidity of coal fed into the furnace using fatty hydrogen content. Background Technology

[0002] In the coking industry, the maximum fluidity of coal fed into the furnace is one of the important indicators for measuring the caking performance of coal, and it plays a decisive role in the quality of the produced coke. Accurately determining the maximum fluidity of coal fed into the furnace can optimize coal blending, improve coke quality, reduce production costs, and at the same time reduce environmental pollution.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods for predicting the maximum fluidity of coal fed into the furnace mainly rely on indicators such as the maximum thickness of the plastic layer (Y value) and the caking index (G). However, these methods have many limitations. On the one hand, the determination of the maximum thickness of the plastic layer (Y value) and the caking index (G) is complex, requiring significant time and manpower, and demanding high standards for experimental equipment and operators. On the other hand, these indicators cannot fully and accurately reflect the caking properties of coal, especially for coal types with significant differences in quality, where the prediction results have large errors. For example, in actual production, although some coal types have a high caking index (G), their actual maximum fluidity is not ideal due to differences in their internal chemical structure and composition, leading to unstable coke quality when blending coal according to traditional indicators. Furthermore, with the increasing scarcity of coal resources and the growing diversity and complexity of coal types, traditional methods are insufficient to meet the demand for accurate prediction of the maximum fluidity of different coal types.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a fast, accurate and widely applicable method for predicting the maximum flowability of coal fed into the furnace. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and proposes a method for predicting the maximum fluidity of coal fed into the furnace using fatty hydrogen content. By measuring and analyzing the fatty hydrogen content of the coal fed into the furnace, this invention establishes a correlation model between the content and the maximum fluidity, thereby achieving accurate prediction of the maximum fluidity of the coal fed into the furnace and providing key technical support for coking coal blending processes. This invention also solves the problems of complex operation and large errors in existing methods for predicting the maximum fluidity of coal fed into the furnace.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for predicting the maximum flowability of coal fed into the furnace using fatty hydrogen content is proposed, which calculates the maximum flowability of coal fed into the furnace based on the fatty hydrogen content.

[0007] Preferably, the fatty hydrogen content of the coal fed into the furnace is substituted into the formula MF=1405.8972-459.1697*Al H This yields the predicted value for maximum fluidity.

[0008] Preferably, the fatty hydrogen content of the coal fed into the furnace is calculated by measuring the volatile matter, carbon content, and hydrogen content of the coal.

[0009] Preferably, the volatile matter content of the coal fed into the furnace is determined according to the national standard GB / T 212-2008.

[0010] Preferably, the carbon and hydrogen content of the coal fed into the furnace is determined according to the national standard GB / T 31391-2015.

[0011] Preferably, the maximum fluidity of the coal fed into the furnace is determined according to the national standard GB / T 25213-2010, and the measured maximum fluidity of the coal fed into the furnace is compared with the predicted value to determine the error.

[0012] Preferably, the aroma content fa is first calculated based on the volatile matter and carbon content of the coal fed into the furnace using Formula 1; then, the aroma content H is calculated using Formula 2. daf and aroma f a Calculate the hydrogen content (Al) of fatty acids H ; Formula 1: ; Formula 2: .

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows: 1. Accuracy Comparison: Through testing and verification on a large number of actual coal samples, the root mean square error of the method of this invention in predicting the maximum flowability of coal entering the furnace is reduced by 3% compared with the traditional prediction method based on the maximum thickness Y of the plastic layer, and by 4% compared with the prediction method based on the caking index G. For a set of coal samples containing 500 different coal types, the average deviation between the maximum flowability predicted by the traditional method and the actual value is 3.5%, while the average deviation of the method of this invention is only 1.5%, which fully demonstrates the significant advantage of the method of this invention in prediction accuracy. 2. Comparison of Applicable Scope: Traditional methods are not effective for predicting the maximum mobility of certain special coal types, such as high-volatile coal and low-rank coal. The model established by the method of this invention has good versatility and can accurately predict the maximum mobility of various coal types, including the aforementioned special coal types, thus having a wider range of applications.

[0014] 3. This invention uses aliphatic hydrogen content as a key indicator for predicting maximum fluidity, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods that rely on indicators such as the maximum thickness of the plastic layer (Y value) and the bonding index (G). Aliphatic hydrogen content more directly reflects the status of active groups in the coal molecular structure and is closely related to the coal's bonding properties, thus making the prediction results more accurate and reliable.
