Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water-coal slurry gasification, in particular to a slag discharge device with low carbon content of coarse slag from water-coal slurry gasification. Background Art
[0002] As one of the core technologies in the coal chemical industry, water-coal slurry gasification technology converts organic matter in coal into combustible gas through high temperature, high pressure, and catalysts. It offers significant advantages such as high efficiency, environmental protection, and energy conservation. Currently, this technology has become an indispensable clean energy technology for industries such as power, chemical, and metallurgy. my country has reached internationally advanced levels in the development and application of water-coal slurry gasifiers, successfully achieving large-scale industrial production, improving coal resource utilization efficiency and reducing environmental pollution.
[0003] However, the coal-water slurry gasification process produces a large amount of coarse slag. This slag has significant variations in physical properties and a complex chemical composition, depending on factors such as the type of raw coal, gasification conditions, and operating procedures. Its chemical composition primarily consists of inorganic minerals, primarily oxides such as SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, and Fe2O3, along with a small amount of unburned carbonaceous residue. Furthermore, the coarse slag contains a certain amount of moisture and volatile matter, and its particle size ranges from a few millimeters to tens of millimeters, presenting forms such as massive and granular. It has a complex pore structure and a large specific surface area. These factors significantly impact its utilization and treatment.
[0004] Currently, coal chemical companies primarily handle crude slag from water-coal slurry gasification by transporting it themselves or outsourcing it to third parties for storage. This approach not only consumes significant land resources, but also, due to the high moisture content of the slag, is prone to leakage and dust during transportation and storage, causing significant environmental pollution. Furthermore, the unburned carbon resources in the slag are not fully utilized, resulting in a waste of carbon resources. Therefore, strengthening research on slag treatment and disposal technologies to achieve resource utilization and harmless treatment is of great significance.
[0005] To achieve efficient and comprehensive utilization of crude slag, many companies and research institutions are actively developing efficient separation and extraction technologies to achieve efficient separation of inorganic minerals and unburned carbon residues in the crude slag. However, they have not explored how to reduce the carbon content of the crude slag before it is formed. Instead, they have studied the separation of residual carbon and inorganic minerals after the crude slag is formed. This separation technology also requires slurrying the crude slag, which consumes a large amount of water resources. The wastewater generated increases the load on the sewage treatment plant. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to study the direct production of low-carbon slag by water-coal slurry gasification. Utility Model Content
[0006] Based on the existing technical problems, the utility model provides a slag discharge device with low carbon content in coarse slag from water-coal slurry gasification. The utility model makes the coarse slag discharged from the gasification device have low carbon content, broadens the resource utilization path of the coarse slag, and also reduces the consumption of water resources for carbon content in the coarse slag, reduces the amount of wastewater, and reduces the load of the wastewater treatment device.

[0014] A method for removing slag from water-coal slurry gasification coarse slag with low carbon content, comprising the following steps:
[0015] (1) The coal-water slurry burns in the gasifier to produce gasified slag and synthesis gas, which enter the quenching water at the bottom of the gasifier for cooling. The cooled synthesis gas carries a portion of fine slag and flows out from the outlet on the side of the gasifier. The cooled coarse slag and the other portion of fine slag are crushed by the slag crusher at the bottom of the gasifier to obtain coarse slag containing fine slag;
[0016] (2) The coarse slag obtained in step (1) is discharged into the lock hopper. When a certain amount of coarse slag is discharged into the lock hopper, the gasifier stops discharging slag and the lock hopper starts discharging slag into the slag water buffer tank. After the lock hopper finishes discharging slag, the gasifier starts discharging slag into the lock hopper.
[0017] (3) In step (2), the coarse slag and water in the slag water buffer tank enter the cyclone separator, and water is added to the cyclone separator at the same time. Under the action of the cyclone, the fine slag in the coarse slag is gradually separated from the coarse slag, and the coarse slag settles at the bottom of the cyclone separator and is discharged into the coarse slag pool. The separated fine slag is carried out of the cyclone separator by water and enters the sedimentation tank; the coarse slag at the bottom of the coarse slag pool is dehydrated to obtain coarse slag with low carbon content, and the fine slag slurry at the bottom of the sedimentation tank is dehydrated to obtain fine slag; the clarified black water from the sedimentation tank and the coarse slag pool is sent to the cyclone separator to continue circulating the cyclone to separate the fine slag;
[0018] Furthermore, when the lock hopper is in operation, the lock hopper is kept full of water through the water replenishment buffer tank; before the gasifier discharges slag, the lock hopper and the gasifier quenching chamber are pressure-equalized through a pressure-equalizing pipe; after the pressure equalization is completed, the gasifier starts to discharge slag, and the water in the lock hopper is circulated to the gasifier quenching chamber through the slag discharge circulation pump, bringing the slag in the quenching chamber into the lock hopper.
[0019] Furthermore, the cyclone separator is replenished with clarified black water and / or fresh water from the sedimentation tank and / or clarified black water from the coarse slag pool and / or ammonia-containing wastewater.
[0020] Furthermore, the pressure difference between the lock hopper and the quenching chamber of the gasifier after equalization shall not be greater than 0.3 MPa; the lock hopper shall be pressure-relieved through a pressure relief pipe before slag discharge, and the pressure in the lock hopper shall not be greater than 0.5 MPa after pressure relief; Beneficial effects
[0021] 1. Since the fine slag produced by the combustion of the water-coal slurry gasifier has a high carbon content and the coarse slag has a low carbon content, the utility model sets a cyclone separator to perform cyclone separation on the slag-water mixture discharged from the lock bucket of the water-coal slurry gasifier, and at the same time adds water to the cyclone separator to perform cyclone separation on the fine slag in the coarse slag. The water carries the fine slag out of the cyclone separator and enters the sedimentation tank. The fine slag and water are sedimented and separated in the sedimentation tank. The coarse slag at the bottom of the cyclone separator is discharged into the coarse slag pool and then dehydrated to obtain coarse slag with low carbon content.
[0022] 2. The slag-water mixture discharged from the lock bucket of the utility model is separated into fine slag in the cyclone separator to obtain coarse slag with low carbon content, thereby avoiding the consumption of water resources in the coarse slag pulping and carbon separation in the existing technology, and also reducing the amount of wastewater generated by the coarse slag carbon separation, reducing the load of the wastewater treatment device.
[0023] 3. The utility model arranges the cyclone separator after the lock bucket, which can reduce the operating pressure of the cyclone separator, reduce the requirements for equipment, and reduce equipment investment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After the lock hopper 2 finishes discharging slag, the gasifier 1 starts discharging slag into the lock hopper 2.
[0031] (3) In step (2), the coarse slag and water in the slag water buffer tank 3 enter the cyclone separator 4, and water is added to the cyclone separator 4 at the same time.
