Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to a prior application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on November 7, 2023, with patent application number 202311472824.4, entitled “Chemical Looping Combustion System of Fly Ash Solid Waste Oxygen Carrier Medium and Its Use in Biomass Thermoelectric Conversion.” The entire text of the prior application is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This utility model relates to a chemical looping combustion system for fly ash solid waste oxygen-carrying media. Specifically, it includes a technical approach for in-situ resource utilization of fly ash solid waste, as well as an implementation plan for applying this technical approach to the improvement and upgrade of traditional boiler combustion systems for biomass thermal power conversion. By applying this technical approach to the transformation of traditional boiler combustion systems, existing equipment in the traditional boiler combustion system can be maintained without changing them, but rather the traditional boiler combustion system can be directly upgraded to an advanced, high-efficiency chemical looping boiler combustion system. This utility model belongs to the field of fly ash solid waste resource utilization and novel chemical looping boiler combustion technology for biomass energy. Background Art

[0003] Biomass, Earth's "renewable carbon," originates from photosynthesis during plant growth. Plant cell walls (also known as "lignocellulose") are the most abundant biomass resource on Earth, with over 170 billion tons produced annually. Consequently, traditional boiler combustion technology for biomass thermal power conversion has long been the mainstream technology for biomass renewable energy in my country.

[0004] Biomass contains a large amount of water. When heated to 100°C, the boiling point of water at normal atmospheric pressure, the water begins to evaporate, consuming a large amount of heat energy. This is particularly true in boiler combustion systems that use biomass for thermoelectric conversion, where the biomass directly enters the boiler's combustion atmosphere for thermochemical reactions, consuming more than two-thirds of its own biomass energy and a large amount of water.

[0005] Furthermore, boiler combustion produces a large amount of fly ash, a complex of coal ash, mixed coal ash, dust, and other substances such as sulfates and nitrates produced during the combustion process. Fly ash is typically finely particulate, often suspended in the flue gas, and can be airborne into the surrounding environment. Because it contains a variety of hazardous substances, such as heavy metals, dioxins, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fly ash poses a threat to both the environment and human health. A report analyzing the physical and chemical properties of fly ash generated by domestic waste incineration plants showed that the mass fraction of fly ash from grate furnaces using pure waste incineration is higher than that from fluidized bed incineration using mixed coal. Furthermore, the concentration of heavy metals in fly ash increases with decreasing fly ash particle size. The basic elements of fly ash are Ca, Si, Cl, K, Na, S, Al, Mg, and Fe, as well as heavy metals such as Zn, Pb, Mn, Cu, and Cr.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-controlled biomass-to-energy conversion systems and methods, especially to develop advanced and efficient chemical chain boiler combustion systems without changing the existing equipment of traditional boiler combustion systems.

[0194] The utility model also provides a use of a material containing organic carbon, which is used in the combustion system.

[0195] Beneficial effects

[0196] The present invention is based on the following concept: the combustion residue of the boiler is mainly fly ash containing silicon oxide and aluminum oxide, which is rich in alkali metals and transition metals. A set of fly ash alkali melting hydrothermal zeolite process units are arranged in situ in the boiler combustion system, and heterogeneous metals such as K, Na, Al, Mg, Fe, Zn, Pb, Mn, and Cu are added according to the formula. The fly ash solid waste can be synthesized in situ with a high-activity solid acid catalytic zeolite material through the arranged fly ash alkali melting hydrothermal zeolite process. After completing the first step of preparing the fly ash into a solid acid catalytic zeolite material in situ, it is necessary to add the material as a catalyst into the hydrothermal carbonization unit of the biomass fuel pretreatment of the boiler combustion system - as a catalyst to promote the hydrothermal carbonization yield. The hydrothermal carbonization (C-HTC) treatment under the action of the catalyst is the second step in which the solid acid catalyst reacts with the organic components of the biomass depolymerization. This step will produce water coke that supports a large number of secondary dispersed high-activity and high-density metal acid points. Under the action of a catalyst, the hydrothermal process synthesizes low-value biomass feedstock into a high-calorific-value water coke fuel carrying a large amount of heterogeneous metal catalytic combustion-supporting oxygen carriers. The water coke, a high-quality fuel carrying a large amount of heterogeneous metal catalytic combustion-supporting oxygen carriers, then enters the boiler combustion atmosphere, where it is introduced into the fuel gas molecules in the boiler atmosphere, causing catalytic combustion on the surface of the highly active metal particles. The ashes after combustion then react with air to reform oxide-rich fly ash. Therefore, the technical approach for in-situ resource utilization of fly ash designed in this utility model constructs a cyclical circuit for the oxidation, zeolization, and reduction of the combustion ash metals, forming an "oxidation, synthesis, and reduction" chemical chain cycle architecture for oxygen-carrying catalytic materials, and creating a chemical chain boiler combustion technology for efficient biomass thermal power systems. While the fly ash solid waste metals are recycled and utilized as resources, the catalytic process enhances the efficiency of the biomass hydrothermal carbonization reaction, and the catalytic process improves the oxidation efficiency of the water coke boiler combustion.

[0197] Among them, the utility model uses the residual fly ash from the combustion of biomass thermal power boilers, synthesizes it into a zeolite-based solid acid catalytic material in situ, and serves as a dual-function catalyst in situ to improve the efficiency of the "hydrothermal carbonization / hydrocarbon combustion" process in the new biomass thermal power system.

[0198] To avoid blockage at the reactor inlet and outlet caused by the addition of large doses of catalytic material and to avoid production bottlenecks in biomass-to-carbon conversion, the C-HTC unit described in this utility model has been upgraded. The flow control of the pump used for continuous reactant processing has been replaced with a spiral-propulsion flow control system, and the carbonization reactor has been converted from a vertical to a horizontal tube carbonization reactor. The catalytic reaction of the biomass in the C-HTC spiral-propulsion carbonization reactor horizontal tube unit produces a fly ash zeolite-based heterogeneous metal-loaded solid acid catalytic material. This product also establishes a "feedback" loop for the output of the C-HTC catalytic carbonization material to the biomass feedstock through a secondary dispersion process, further improving the efficiency and yield of biomass conversion to solid water coke.

[0199] The functional layout of the in-situ production of fly ash zeolite-based catalytic materials in the utility model has pioneered a nanotechnology approach to thermochemical catalytic efficiency enhancement in the process of biomass thermoelectric conversion, realized the in-situ regeneration of solid waste into catalytic materials and the in-situ use of the catalytic materials, and constructed an "efficient chemical chain loop of oxidation / reduction" for the in-situ low-cost production and in-situ high-value application of solid metal oxide catalysts; in addition, the utility model designs the fly ash zeolite-based solid acid catalyst with dual-phase catalytic function as a single material, which simplifies the complexity of the industrial process and reduces the overall cost of the system.

[0200] The present invention uses the combustion residue (fly ash) of the biomass thermal power boiler to synthesize a zeolite-based catalytic material in situ of the system. The material serves as a dual-function catalyst to improve the efficiency of the "hydrothermal carbonization / hydrocarbon combustion" process in the biomass thermal power system. Under the system layout framework of in-situ production of zeolite-based catalytic materials, the in-situ recycling of fly ash solid waste and the sustainable catalytic efficiency enhancement of thermochemistry in the biomass thermal power conversion process are realized. The fly ash zeolite-based catalytic material will be used in two thermochemical processes of the system in sequence: (1) catalytically promoting the process efficiency of the biomass conversion to hydrochar C-HTC reaction; (2) catalytically promoting the boiler clean combustion efficiency of the hydrocarbon combustion-assisted C-HCC reaction; at the same time, the present invention uses a single regenerated material for dual-phase catalysis, which simplifies the complexity of the industrial process and reduces the cost of the system. This utility model can upgrade a traditional carbonaceous fuel boiler power generation system to an advanced chemical looping combustion power generation system while retaining the core equipment of a mature carbonaceous fuel boiler power generation system with only minor modifications. This overcomes the technical difficulty of upgrading existing boiler systems due to the differences between the CLC system, which is based on a dual-interconnected fluidized bed gas-solid reactor process prototype and the existing boiler equipment of most coal-fired power generation units worldwide. This provides an economically feasible technical approach for upgrading and transforming traditional biomass thermal power systems deployed on a large scale in China to advanced chemical looping combustion power generation systems.
