Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a system for producing building gypsum with zero carbon from desulfurized gypsum. Background Art

[0002] Gypsum is a sulfate mineral resource widely existing in nature. Also, gypsum is a cementitious material with a long history and is listed as one of the three major pillars among inorganic cementitious materials together with lime and cement. Desulfurized gypsum is the product of flue gas desulfurization by the limestone / gypsum method in thermal power plants and is dihydrate gypsum. At present, the output of desulfurized gypsum in China is about 80 million tons, and the problems of treatment and comprehensive utilization of desulfurized gypsum have become increasingly urgent. At present, desulfurized gypsum is mainly applied to the manufacture of paper-faced gypsum board, putty gypsum and plaster for rendering, cement retarder, etc.

[0003] In the CaSO 4 -H 2 O system, generally recognized gypsum phases have five forms and seven variants, which are dihydrate gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O); α-type and β-type hemihydrate gypsum (α-CaSO 4 ·0.5H 2 O, β-CaSO 4 ·0.5H 2 O); α-type and β-type anhydrite III (α-CaSO 4 III, β-CaSO 4 III), type II anhydrite (CaSO 4 II) and type I anhydrite (CaSO 4 I). α-type and β-type anhydrite III are easily transformed into α-type and β-type hemihydrate gypsum in a humid environment at 20-180°C. β-type hemihydrate gypsum, namely building gypsum, has good ductility and plasticity, is easy to harden and form, has a microporous structure, good water retention and strong hygroscopicity, and is commonly used in the production of paper-faced gypsum board.

[0004] At present, the production process of building gypsum mainly uses a fluidized bed furnace, but its gypsum calcination time is long and the production energy consumption is high. It is urgent to develop a new calcination process. The fuel used for producing building gypsum is mainly fossil fuel, which emits carbon dioxide. In addition, the heat transfer of the fluidized bed furnace is indirect heat transfer, that is, the fuel heats the flue gas, and the flue gas then transfers the heat to the gypsum. Since the specific heat of the flue gas is low, a large amount of flue gas is required to obtain qualified products. Due to the large amount of flue gas, a lot of heat is carried away after the flue gas is discharged, resulting in high energy consumption.

[0005] Wind power, photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal power generation, namely green electricity, are renewable clean energy. At present, there is no production system that uses green electricity to produce desulfurized building gypsum. This system also has the characteristics of high production efficiency, low equipment investment and less site use. Green electricity is stored in a sodium ion battery system, which has the characteristics of low cost and stable electricity. Photovoltaic power generation is located in photovoltaic power plants, wind power generation is located in wind power plants, and solar thermal power generation is located in solar thermal power plants. The green electricity from different power plants is connected to the sodium ion battery system in the gypsum production company through aluminum wires, and the sodium ion battery system is connected to the gypsum production equipment system through aluminum wires. The steam from the solar thermal power plant is connected to the gypsum system through pipelines. Utility Model Content

The inside of the cyclone and the pipeline are lined with aluminous cement castable, which has the function of protecting the carbon steel shell of the cyclone and the pipeline and avoiding heat loss. The cyclone I collects the materials in the gas containing materials discharged from the dispersing dryer, and the remaining dust in the gas is collected by the bag filter, and the tail gas meets the emission standards. The cyclone II conducts gas-solid separation on the gas containing materials coming out of the green electric furnace, and the materials collected by the cyclone II enter the cyclone III.

The collected materials are building gypsum products, and the temperature of the products is 110 - 120 °C, and the performance reaches that of similar products produced by fluidized bed boilers.

[0020] The dispersing dryer is a hammer-type dispersing dryer, designed and manufactured according to the structural principle of a hammer crusher.

The heating element is spiral and placed inside the protection tube. The working temperature of the heating element is 500 - 1100 °C.

[0026] The material of the protection tube is one of mullite and cordierite, which has the characteristics of low expansion coefficient and heat shock resistance, and both can achieve the invention purpose. The heating element is located in the protection tube. When the surface of the heating element is oxidized, blast furnace gas is introduced into the protection tube to reduce the oxide, realizing the regeneration of the heating element, extending its service life by 50 - 100%, and reducing costs.

[0027] The materials of the mother board, the cover board, and the T-shaped rod are all composite ceramics prepared by mixing and sintering silicon carbide (15 - 33%), silicon nitride (4 - 12%), zirconium silicate (20 - 50%), and quartz (10 - 15%). They have the characteristics of high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and anti-crust formation; the three-point bending strength of different formula composite ceramics can be greater than 800 MPa; the composite ceramics have good thermal shock resistance and can be water-cooled immediately after being heated to 750 °C for 20 cycles without damage.

The T-shaped head of the T-shaped rod is dovetail-shaped, and there is a round hole at the tail of the T-shaped rod. The material used for the T-shaped rod is the same as that of the mother board to avoid damage caused by different materials during operation. The T-shaped head of the T-shaped rod is placed in the T-shaped rod bonding groove on the furnace wall surface of the mother board, and the round hole at the tail of the T-shaped rod is hung on the metal hook on the inner wall of the furnace shell, so that the mother board is connected to the furnace shell and fixed in the furnace; the gap between the furnace wall surface of the mother board and the furnace shell is filled with heat-insulating material, and the surface temperature of the furnace wall is lower than 50°C; the heat-insulating material is one of mullite fiber and alumina fiber, both of which can achieve the purpose and have a service life of more than 10 years. The furnace hearth surface of the mother board is a dovetail groove, and the cover plate is dovetail-shaped, which is convenient for the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the protection tube and the electric heating element, and reduces the maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0029] The cover plate and the T-shaped rod are installed from the side of the mother board. The position that cannot be installed with the cover plate and the T-shaped rod left at the end of the installation is filled with castable. The dovetail design of the mother board, the cover plate and the T-shaped rod is convenient for installation and replacement and reduces the cost.

[0030] The green electric furnace uses green electricity as energy. During the process of the desulfurized gypsum undergoing a phase change to produce building gypsum, only water vapor is emitted. All the auxiliary equipment used in the production system uses green electricity, realizing zero carbon emissions in the production of building gypsum.

[0031] The cooling gas used in the cyclone III is part of the tail gas discharged by the induced draft fan. This tail gas is water vapor, which has a larger specific heat than air and a good cooling effect; the introduction amount of the tail gas is determined according to the temperature of the material, and the material is cooled to 110-120°C. Water vapor is beneficial to the conversion of anhydrite produced by overburning of industrial gypsum into hemihydrate gypsum and is beneficial to the stability of building gypsum products. The material, that is, the desulfurized gypsum, stays in this system for 5-18 seconds, less than 20 seconds, realizing the zero-carbon production of desulfurized building gypsum.

[0032] This system can also directly use the steam of the solar thermal power generation system as the heat source, which can realize the stable operation of the system; the inlet of the steam is the inlet of the dry material, that is, the steam and the dry material enter the green electric furnace together; the temperature of the steam is 300-600°C, and the products produced with steam as the heat source and green electricity as the heat source have the same performance.
