Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the coal chemical industry low temperature pyrolysis technical field, specifically relates to a kind of electric heating low-rank coal low temperature pyrolysis system. BACKGROUND

[0002] China is rich in low metamorphic coal resources, and the coal gas, semi coke and tar obtained by low temperature pyrolysis is an effective method for low metamorphic coal quality utilization. At present, the semi coke produced by low metamorphic coal mainly uses the internal combustion internal heating type vertical carbonization furnace pyrolysis process: the lump coal is added from the top of the furnace, and air is used as the oxygen source, and air and air are introduced into the lower part of the furnace to burn, and the high-temperature gas generated is opposite to the lump coal in the furnace to realize heat exchange and low temperature pyrolysis (the temperature is generally below 750℃), and the mixed gas after pyrolysis is discharged outside the furnace, and the coal tar and coal gas are recovered after washing and purification treatment.

[0003] Although the semi coke produced by this process is stable and reliable, it also brings some problems to the subsequent coal gas purification and comprehensive utilization. First, the combustion flue gas produced by the internal combustion internal heating heating method is mixed with the coal gas generated by the pyrolysis of raw coal, and the coal gas discharged from the furnace contains a large amount of nitrogen, which not only increases the treatment capacity of the coal gas purification system, but also reduces the calorific value of the coal gas, which greatly affects the subsequent high value-added processing and utilization of coal gas, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of industry or civil use; second, because there is a combustion reaction in the furnace, not only the semi coke is burned, but also the high temperature generated by the combustion affects the normal operation of the furnace. If the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause coking and blockage of the furnace, so that the vertical furnace cannot operate normally. When coking occurs, not only the treatment is difficult and the labor intensity is large, but also the loss caused by shutdown; if the temperature is too low, it may also cause incomplete dry distillation, which affects the product quality and yield of semi coke.
