Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rotary kilns, in particular to a waste heat recovery system for the roasting flue gas of a rotary kiln during the production of reduced titanium. Background Technique

[0002] A rotary kiln refers to a rotary calcination kiln (commonly known as a rotary kiln), whose shape is similar to a rotating bed, also called a rotating bed kiln, belonging to the building materials equipment category. Rotary kilns can be divided into cement kilns, metallurgical and chemical kilns, and lime kilns according to the different materials to be processed.

[0003] When the rotary kiln is roasting for the production of reduced titanium, the high-temperature flue gas (up to 950 °C) generated contains pollutants such as CO, CO 2 , SO 2 and coal ash. In the traditional treatment process, after the flue gas is air-cooled to about 200 °C in the sedimentation chamber, it is then discharged after dust removal and desulfurization treatment. During this process, a large amount of heat energy is not effectively recovered, which not only wastes energy but also causes heat pollution problems.

[0004] The existing rotary kiln flue gas in the prior art lacks measures for recovering and utilizing waste heat, and mainly has the following problem points:

[0005] 1. The current technology relies on the combination of a sedimentation chamber and a fan to cool the flue gas as high as 950 °C to about 220 °C, which wastes electric energy and heat energy in this process.

[0006] 2. The cooling efficiency of the combination of the sedimentation chamber and the fan is limited, resulting in large temperature fluctuations, affecting the normal operation of dust removal and desulfurization equipment, and thus causing excessive emissions.

[0007] 3. The high-temperature flue gas is directly discharged through air cooling, and a large amount of heat energy is dissipated into the atmosphere, which not only wastes resources but also causes heat pollution, having a negative impact on the environment and the lives of residents.

[0032] Among them, the softened water in the waste heat boiler 3 exchanges heat with the flue gas in the heat exchange pipes to absorb the waste heat of the flue gas and convert it into hot steam. This hot steam enters the power generation device through the steam delivery pipe for the power generation device to generate electricity.

[0033] The waste heat recovery device further includes a blower 4, and the output end of the blower 4 is connected to the heat preservation space through corresponding pipes.

[0034] The power generation device includes a steam turbine generator set 5, and the steam input end of the steam turbine generator set 5 is connected to the output end of the steam delivery pipe.

[0035] The power generation device further includes a cooling tower 6.

[0036] Through the cooling tower 6, the temperature of the steam turbine generator set 5 can be prevented from being too high, ensuring that the steam turbine generator set 5 operates stably.

[0037] The system further includes a softened water circulation device. The softened water circulation device includes a softened water tank 7 and a deaerator 8. The output end of the softened water tank 7 is connected to one of the input ends of the deaerator 8 through corresponding pipes, the output end of the deaerator 8 is connected to the inside of the waste heat boiler 3 through corresponding pipes, and the other input end of the deaerator 8 is connected to the condensate output end of the steam turbine generator set 5 through corresponding pipes.

[0040] An induced draft fan 12 is installed on the corresponding pipe between the dust collector 10 and the desulfurization tower 11.

[0041] The working steps of this system are as follows:

[0042] S1: According to the characteristics of the rotary kiln flue gas, a waste heat recovery device, a power generation device, a softened water circulation device and a flue gas purification device are designed.

[0043] S2: The flue gas of the rotary kiln 1 undergoes a combustion reaction and temperature rise in the sedimentation chamber 2, and high-temperature steam is obtained through efficient heat exchange with softened water in the waste heat boiler 3.

[0044] S3: The high-temperature and high-pressure steam generated by the waste heat boiler 3 drives the steam turbine generator set 5 to be converted into electric energy for use in the factory area for office and living, realizing the green cycle and efficient utilization of energy.

[0045] S4: The softened water tank 7 replenishes water and conducts system water circulation.

[0046] S5: The flue gas is discharged into the atmosphere after purification treatment.

[0047] Furthermore, the detailed steps of step S2 are as follows:

[0048] S21: The high-temperature flue gas (about 950 °C, 50,000 standard cubic meters) of the rotary kiln 1 enters the sedimentation chamber 2 through the corresponding pipeline. The blower 4 precisely regulates the air input to promote the reaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen, generating carbon dioxide and significantly raising the temperature to 1050 °C, improving the waste heat quality.

[0049] S22: The high-temperature flue gas enters the waste heat boiler 3 from the sedimentation chamber 2 through the corresponding pipeline and conducts efficient heat exchange with the softened water, causing the softened water to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam. At the same time, the flue gas temperature drops to the temperature range (180 °C - 220 °C) that can be handled by the bag filter 10.

[0050] Furthermore, the detailed steps of step S4 are as follows:

[0051] S41: The condensed water discharged from the steam turbine generator set 5 after the hot steam generated by the waste heat boiler 3 passes through the deaerator 8 for reprocessing, and then is pumped into the waste heat boiler 3 through the corresponding feed water pump 9 to form a deaerated water circulation, reducing water resource consumption.

[0052] S42: The softened water tank 7 continuously replenishes water (keeping the system water volume sufficient). After being deaerated by the deaerator 8 (the softened water undergoes deaeration treatment by the deaerator 8 to prevent corrosion in the boiler and improve the steam quality), it is sent into the waste heat boiler 3 through the corresponding feed water pump 9 to participate in heat exchange.

[0053] Furthermore, the detailed steps of step S5 are as follows:

[0054] S51: The cooled flue gas enters the dust collector 10, and after deep dust removal treatment, it is sent into the desulfurization tower 11 through the induced draft fan 12.

[0055] S52: The flue gas after dust removal is sent into the desulfurization tower 11 through the induced draft fan 12. The sulfur oxides in the flue gas are effectively removed by the desulfurization tower 11, and the flue gas temperature is further reduced to about 100 °C, meeting the environmental protection emission standards.

[0056] That is to say, the heat of the flue gas of the rotary kiln 1 can be used for heat exchange between the boiler and softened water to generate steam for power generation, reducing the enterprise's dependence on external power and creating additional economic benefits for the enterprise. The electric energy obtained from power generation can be used in multiple fields such as factory office, production and life, effectively reducing the enterprise's operating costs.

[0057] The above-mentioned embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. Any non-substantive changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
