Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flue gas denitrification technology in pellet production, and particularly to a method and system for optimizing SNCR parameters embedded in a chain grate machine coupled with pellet production. Background Technology
[0002] The chain grate-rotary kiln process is one of the mainstream technologies in iron ore pellet production. This process generates a large amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx), a major air pollutant in the pelletizing process. With increasingly stringent environmental requirements, efficient control of NOx has become a key aspect of promoting the green and low-carbon development of pelletizing production. Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) technology has received widespread attention in the field of flue gas denitrification in pelletizing due to its relatively simple process flow and lower investment and operating costs. Applying SNCR technology to the preheating stage of the chain grate, by injecting a reducing agent into a suitable temperature zone, allows it to react with NOx in the flue gas, thereby reducing NOx emissions, which shows promising application prospects.
[0003] However, this technology still faces significant challenges in practical applications. The interaction between the flow and mixing of high-temperature flue gas inside the chain grate, and the heat and mass transfer processes between the flue gas and the pellet bed, couples the evaporation, diffusion, and NOx reduction reactions of the reducing agent after injection with the pellet production process. As a result, the SNCR denitrification process within the chain grate is complex and highly sensitive to operating parameters. Relying solely on field experience to determine injection parameters often makes it difficult to simultaneously achieve high denitrification efficiency and low ammonia slip.
[0004] Current research on SNCR denitrification within chain grate machines largely focuses on the independent adjustment of single operating parameters, lacking coupled numerical simulation and parameter optimization methods that simultaneously consider the pellet production process and the denitrification reaction process. Especially under conditions where the embedded SNCR injection structure is fixed and on-site adjustable parameters are limited, effective technical means are still lacking for optimizing key operating parameters such as injection speed, ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, and ammonia concentration to improve denitrification efficiency while reducing ammonia slip.

[0014] Furthermore, the SNCR injection parameters include one or more of the following: injection speed, ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, and ammonia concentration.
[0015] Furthermore, the specific process of adjusting the SNCR injection parameters within the chain grate using optimization criteria is as follows: Based on the value range of each SNCR injection parameter and the current value corresponding to the optimization criteria, the values of each SNCR injection parameter in the simulated pellet production process within the chain grate are adjusted; where the value range is obtained by taking the values of each SNCR injection parameter under the actual operating conditions of the chain grate production site as a benchmark, and preset the amount of fluctuation based on the benchmark value; the specific adjustment strategy is: when the denitrification efficiency is lower than the preset denitrification efficiency threshold and the ammonia slip concentration does not exceed the threshold... When the ammonia slip threshold is exceeded, the ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio or ammonia concentration is increased, and the injection speed is increased to increase the reducing agent dosage and enhance the mixing of NH3 and NOx. When the ammonia slip concentration exceeds the preset ammonia slip threshold, the ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio or ammonia concentration is decreased, and the injection speed is adjusted to ensure that the reducing agent is fully mixed and reacted within the effective temperature window.

Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a method for optimizing embedded SNCR parameters of a chain grate machine used in coupled pellet production, including: S1: Construct a geometric model for numerical simulation of the chain grate machine based on its structural dimensional parameters.
[0023] Specifically, the geometric model includes a fume hood, a wind box, a material layer area, and an embedded SNCR denitrification spray structure; the embedded SNCR denitrification spray structure includes at least the number of spray guns, the position of the spray guns, and the nozzle diameter.
[0024] In practice, a physical geometric model of the chain grate machine is established based on the actual structural dimensions of the chain grate machine currently in production at a certain pelletizing plant, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the embedded SNCR injection structure is located in the preheating stage two fume hood area of the chain grate machine (the location is not limited; this is just an example, and the location can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario). Based on the actual on-site layout, the main structure of the chain grate machine and the embedded SNCR injection structure are modeled so that subsequent numerical simulations can realistically simulate and reflect the pellet production process and SNCR denitrification process inside the chain grate machine.
[0025] S2: Determine the reaction control equation of the geometric model; the reaction control equation is used to simulate the process of pellet production in the chain grate and coupled with embedded SNCR denitrification, including the physical process, chemical reaction and embedded SNCR denitrification process in the pellet production process.
[0026] Based on the pellet production process within the chain grate machine, governing equations are established to describe the gas phase flow, material layer movement, and their interphase interactions within the chain grate machine. Both the gas phase and material layer regions are considered continuous media, and two or more equations are used to describe the motion of the multiphase fluid, including mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations.

The mass fraction in the gas phase satisfies the following equation: ; In the formula, for Phase density; For the first Mass fraction of each substance; This represents the total mass within the corresponding grid.

[0031] In the pellet production process, both the physical and chemical processes of the pellets within the chain grate are considered. The physical processes include the evaporation and condensation of moisture within the pellets. Moisture evaporation, i.e., the drying process of the pellets, requires consideration of the characteristics of moisture evaporation and condensation within the pellets. The drying process includes a constant-rate drying stage and a falling-rate drying stage.
[0032] During the constant-rate drying stage, the drying medium begins to come into contact with the wet pellets. The pellet surface absorbs heat, and the temperature gradually rises. The drying interface (pellet surface) begins the evaporation process. During this process, a humidity difference is formed inside the pellets, causing moisture inside the pellets to migrate to the pellet surface to complete the evaporation process, until the moisture content in the pellets drops to a critical value. The driving force of this drying process is the pressure difference between the vapor pressure at the drying interface and the partial pressure of water vapor in the drying medium. The drying rate is only affected by the properties of the gas and is independent of the moisture content of the pellets.
[0033] During the falling-rate drying stage, the moisture content of the pellets falls below the critical value. At this point, the drying interface gradually moves towards the interior of the pellets until drying is complete. Water vapor diffusion within the dried pellets then becomes the controlling factor for the entire drying process.
[0034] The governing equation for water evaporation is: ; ; in, The evaporation rate of water is expressed in kg / (m²). 3 ·s) The porosity is set to 0.35. ρ is the mass transfer coefficient of water vapor in the gas phase, in m / s; Specific surface area; m 2 / m 3 ; The equilibrium concentration of water vapor in the gas-solid system is kg. 3 / m 3 ; Water content of gas, kg 3 / m 3 ; The critical value used to divide the two stages of evaporation is expressed in kg / kg, which indicates how many kg of water are contained in each kg of pellets. This represents the current moisture content of the pellets. Let be the radius of the pellet, in meters. Let be the current wetting radius of the pellet, in meters (m). m is the effective diffusion coefficient of water vapor. 2 / s.
[0035] When the surface water vapor concentration of the pellets is higher than that in the gas, water vapor in the gas flow condenses and precipitates on the pellet surface. The pellet bed gains weight due to moisture absorption; this process is called the water vapor condensation process in the pellet bed. The condensation rate is affected by factors such as the pellet surface temperature and the moisture content of the gas.
[0036] The governing equation for the condensation process is: ; In the formula, The condensation rate of moisture is expressed in kg / (m²). 3 ·s).
[0037] The chemical reaction includes the magnetite oxidation reaction. The essence of this reaction process is that oxygen in the air reacts with magnetite on the surface of the pellets and inside the pellet layer, which can be simply understood as the diffusion process of oxygen. This process mainly consists of three steps: First, oxygen in the gas phase reacts with magnetite on the surface of the pellets, consuming the oxygen near the surface of the pellets and creating a concentration difference. Therefore, oxygen in the gas phase diffuses to the surface of the pellets (intraphase mass transfer), and at this time, the unreacted nucleus surface is the pellet surface; Second, oxygen diffuses from the gas phase to the interior of the pellets (interphase mass transfer), and at this time, the unreacted nucleus surface gradually moves into the interior of the pellets; Third, oxygen diffuses in the magnetite layer (hematite) that has completed the oxidation reaction (interphase mass transfer), and at this time, the unreacted nucleus surface gradually moves deeper into the interior of the pellets.
[0038] The oxidation of magnetite begins at 200℃ and ends at around 1000℃. The oxidation process occurs in two stages: magnetite is oxidized to... Then by Then gradually transform into The chemical equations for its two stages are shown below: ; ; The global reaction equation can be expressed as follows: ; The chemical reaction equation is as follows: ; In the formula, The chemical reaction rate of the material layer; Specific surface area; Oxygen concentration in the gas phase, unit: mol / m³ 3 ; The equilibrium concentration of oxygen in the gas phase, unit: mol / m³ 3 ; ρ is the mass transfer coefficient of oxygen, in m / s; Radius of the unreacted magnetite nucleus, in meters (m). Radius of the pellet, in meters (m). Oxygen diffusion coefficient, unit: m 2 / s; The value represents the oxidation rate of magnetite, in m / s.
[0039] The chemical reaction in the embedded SNCR denitrification process is as follows: when ammonia droplets are sprayed into the high-temperature flue gas area of the second stage of the chain grate machine, the droplets first evaporate and release ammonia gas. The generated ammonia gas then undergoes a selective non-catalytic reduction reaction with nitrogen oxides in the flue gas within a suitable temperature window, thereby achieving denitrification.
[0040] To illustrate this process, this embodiment employs a two-step competing reaction mechanism to describe the SNCR denitrification process. This mechanism describes the main characteristics of the SNCR reaction, specifically including ammonia evaporation and NOx reduction, as follows: ; .
[0041] The reaction kinetic mechanism is shown in Table 1.
[0042] Table 1 Kinetic mechanism of denitrification reaction
[0043] The parameters in the table are as follows: Pre-exponential factors; Temperature index; It is the activation energy; The rate constant of the first reaction; is the reaction rate constant for the second reaction.
[0044] S3: Initialize the running parameters of the geometric model and mesh the geometric model; wherein, the running parameters are the corresponding boundary conditions and the initial values of the SNCR injection parameters.
[0045] In practice, actual production data is collected under stable operating conditions of the chain grate machine. The collected data is processed, and abnormal data is removed based on data from a stable production period. Boundary conditions are jointly determined by combining the test results. The boundary conditions include at least one or more of the following: flue gas temperature, flow rate, composition, machine speed, and material layer thickness in each section of the chain grate machine.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the number of spray guns, their arrangement, diameter, and nozzle diameter are predetermined by the embedded SNCR spray structure. Given the fixed embedded SNCR spray structure and limited adjustable parameters on-site, one or more of the following are selected as SNCR spray parameters: spray speed, ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, and ammonia concentration. Each SNCR spray parameter is based on the actual operating conditions of the chain grate machine in production. Certain variations are set on these base values to create different value ranges and levels, which are then used for subsequent parameter combination simulation analysis. Therefore, this embodiment only focuses on optimizing the aforementioned adjustable on-site operating parameters.
[0047] S4: Based on the geometric model of mesh generation, the reaction parameters inside the chain grate are obtained through simulation calculation. Based on the reaction parameters, the temperature field distribution, flow field distribution, ammonia concentration field distribution, NOx concentration field distribution, denitrification efficiency, and ammonia slip results are obtained. Among them, the denitrification efficiency, ammonia slip results, and operating parameters are selected as the basis for optimization.
[0048] In practical implementation, after determining the adjustment variables and their value ranges for the SNCR injection parameters, a numerical simulation is performed on the process of pellet production within the chain grate and its coupling with embedded SNCR denitrification. During the simulation, single-factor parameter optimization analyses are conducted for the injection velocity, ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, and ammonia concentration. Taking each set of single-factor parameter conditions as an example, the pellet production process within the chain grate, as well as the processes of reducing agent injection, evaporation, mixing and diffusion, and NOx reduction reaction, are simulated to obtain the denitrification efficiency and ammonia slip results under the corresponding conditions. Preferably, the temperature field distribution, flow field distribution, ammonia concentration field distribution, and NOx concentration field distribution within the chain grate can also be output simultaneously to assist in analyzing the influence of different parameter changes on the embedded SNCR denitrification effect.
[0049] S4: Determine whether the selected optimization criteria meet the preset conditions: if yes, output the SNCR injection parameters; if no, adjust the SNCR injection parameters in the chain grate machine based on the optimization criteria and return to S3.
[0050] More specifically, the preset conditions that the optimization criteria satisfy are as follows: When the denitrification efficiency is greater than or equal to the preset denitrification efficiency threshold, the ammonia slip concentration is less than or equal to the preset ammonia slip threshold, and all operating parameters are within the preset value range, it indicates that the preset conditions are met; among them, the operating parameters include the simultaneous ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, ammonia concentration, and injection speed.
[0051] The specific process of adjusting the SNCR injection parameters in the chain grate machine based on optimization criteria is as follows: Based on the value ranges of each SNCR injection parameter and the current value corresponding to the optimization criteria, the values of each SNCR injection parameter in the simulated pellet production process within the chain grate machine are adjusted. The value range is obtained by setting a preset fluctuation amount based on the actual operating conditions of each SNCR injection parameter under the chain grate machine production site. Specifically, the adjustment strategy is as follows: when the denitrification efficiency is lower than the preset denitrification efficiency threshold and the ammonia slip concentration does not exceed the preset ammonia... When the escape threshold is reached, increase the ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio or ammonia concentration and increase the injection speed to increase the reducing agent dosage and enhance the mixing of NH3 and NOx; when the ammonia escape concentration exceeds the preset ammonia escape threshold, decrease the ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio or ammonia concentration and adjust the injection speed to ensure that the reducing agent is fully mixed and reacted within the effective temperature window; when neither the denitrification efficiency nor the ammonia escape meets the preset conditions, comprehensively adjust the ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, ammonia concentration, and injection speed until the denitrification efficiency is greater than or equal to the preset denitrification efficiency threshold and the ammonia escape concentration is less than or equal to the preset ammonia escape threshold.
[0052] In specific implementation, this embodiment conducts single-factor simulation analysis on injection speed, ammonia-nitrogen molar ratio, and ammonia concentration to clarify the influence trend of each SNCR injection parameter on the embedded SNCR denitrification efficiency and ammonia escape in the chain grate machine, and determines the value range and optimal value of each parameter accordingly, providing a basis for determining the optimal injection parameters in the future.
[0053] This embodiment examines the denitrification efficiency and ammonia slip effect under different injection speeds, ammonia-nitrogen molar ratios, and ammonia concentrations, as shown in Table 2. The table reveals an optimal set of parameters: injection speed 100 m / s, ammonia-nitrogen ratio 1.4, and ammonia concentration 20%. The NO concentration distribution cloud map within the pH range under these optimal parameters is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the temperature distribution cloud map of the pH range under optimal parameters is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
