Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of low-temperature pyrolysis of coal chemical industry, and in particular relates to a heat source external vertical furnace pyrolysis system. Background Art

[0002] my country is rich in low-grade coal resources. Low-temperature pyrolysis is an effective method for the fractional utilization of low-grade coal to obtain coal gas, semi-coke and tar. At present, the main method for producing semi-coke from low-grade coal is the internal combustion and internal heating vertical carbonization furnace pyrolysis process: lump coal is added from the top of the furnace, air is used as the oxygen source, and coal gas and air are blown into the lower part of the furnace for combustion. The high-temperature gas generated moves in the opposite direction of the lump coal in the furnace to achieve heat exchange and low-temperature pyrolysis (temperature is generally below 750°C). The mixed gas after pyrolysis is led out of the furnace, and the coal tar and coal gas are recovered after washing and purification.

[0003] Although the semi-coke produced by this process technology is stable and reliable, it also brings some problems in the subsequent gas purification and comprehensive utilization process. First, due to the use of internal combustion and internal hot air combustion-assisted heating method, the combustion flue gas is mixed with the gas produced by the pyrolysis of the raw coal, and the gas out of the furnace contains a large amount of nitrogen, which not only increases the processing pressure of the gas purification system, but also reduces the calorific value of the gas, which has a great impact on the subsequent high-value-added processing and utilization of the gas, and it is difficult to meet industrial or civil requirements; second, due to the combustion reaction in the furnace, not only the semi-coke is burned, but also the high temperature generated by the combustion is not well controlled, which affects the normal operation of the furnace. If the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause coking and blocking the furnace, so that the vertical furnace cannot operate normally. When coking occurs, it is not only difficult to handle, the labor intensity is high, but also causes downtime losses; if the temperature is too low, it may cause incomplete distillation, affecting the quality and output of semi-coke products. Utility Model Content

The gas cooling mechanism 6 is connected to the combustion furnace 4 and the external transmission pipeline through pipelines.

[0020] Working principle:

[0021] The combustion-supporting gas and the return gas enter the combustion furnace 4 for combustion, and the generated heat source (called hot circulating gas) is sent to the vertical furnace mechanism 5 for pyrolysis of the raw coal. The dry distillation gas generated by pyrolysis is mixed with the hot circulating gas and then led out of the furnace and sent to the gas cooling mechanism 6. A part of the cooled and purified gas returns to the combustion furnace 4 for combustion, and the remaining part is sent out through an external transmission pipeline. Among them, the return gas volume of the combustion furnace 4 includes the volume of completely burned gas and the volume of gas used for cooling. By adjusting the ratio of the return gas volume to the combustion-supporting gas volume, the temperature of the circulating gas after combustion can be adjusted to ensure the heat requirement for pyrolysis in the vertical furnace.

[0022] The utility model adopts an external combustion furnace 4, and the heat supply is controllable and adjustable, which can ensure the stability of the vertical furnace heat supply, avoid slagging in the furnace, and effectively improve the product quality; compared with the existing internal combustion and internal heating vertical furnace pyrolysis, the utility model is conducive to balancing the temperature in the furnace, avoiding the burning of blue charcoal and slagging in the furnace, and improving the service life of the furnace.

[0025] The oxygen in the oxygen-rich part of the combustion-supporting gas is provided by the oxygen generator 1, and the air part in the combustion-supporting gas is provided by the air blower 2. The combustion-supporting gas can be provided by mixing air and oxygen in the pipeline mixer 3 according to the process requirements. The volume fraction of oxygen in the combustion-supporting gas is 21%-90%, and the specific ratio is adjusted according to the requirements. Increasing the oxygen content in the combustion-supporting gas can reduce the content of the ineffective component nitrogen in the combustion gas, thereby increasing the calorific value of the coal gas.

[0026] When the combustion-supporting gas is mainly provided by oxygen, that is, the oxygen ratio is above 90%, in order to ensure that the combustion furnace 4 supplies the heat required by the vertical furnace, the amount of recycled gas needs to be changed accordingly.

[0029] The vertical furnace has no restrictions on specifications and sizes, and can be used for the corresponding semi-coke production of 100,000 tons / year, 150,000 tons / year, 200,000 tons / year and higher production. The vertical furnace adopts the design of built-in combustion chamber, full material cavity, and reverse direct heat exchange. A hot circulating gas inlet is set in the middle and lower part of the vertical furnace; the dry distillation temperature range of the vertical furnace is 500℃-750℃; the original fire channel of the vertical furnace is changed to a hot circulating gas channel.

[0035] On the basis of Example 1, this embodiment provides a pyrolysis system with a vertical furnace having an external heat source, wherein the air outlet of the combustion furnace 4 is provided with a water-cooled hot air valve.

[0036] The water-cooled hot air valve has a water tank and cooling water inside to reduce the temperature of the valve body and prevent malfunctions caused by excessive heat. The amount of hot circulating air is adjusted by the water-cooled hot air valve.
