TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] China's coal reserves are rich, with the continuous progress of clean and efficient utilization of coal resources, coal quality analysis and detection has become an important part of coal resource utilization, has important significance in the process of coal resource utilization production and operation, only reasonable analysis and grasp the various indicators of coal can ensure the rational and effective application of coal resources.
[0003] The coal quality analysis and detection process is to test and test the coal sample by physical and chemical methods, and the conventional analysis method mainly includes industrial analysis and element analysis. When the industrial analysis is operated, a certain amount of coal is heated to different temperatures, and different components are evaporated, dry distillation and combustion under different air atmosphere, etc. Finally, the contents of water, volatile matter, ash and fixed carbon are calculated by weighing. When the element analysis is operated, the coal is burned to generate different component gases, and the different component gases are reacted, adsorbed, separated and other ways, and the weight percentage of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and other elements is calculated according to the increment of different concentration, volume, current and other values measured in the analysis process.
[0004] The traditional coal quality analysis method needs material preparation to participate in different physical and chemical reactions, and the analysis and detection process is low in efficiency and consumes a lot of time and manpower due to a series of physical and chemical reactions, and the accuracy of the analysis data information is also prone to abnormality. At present, most of the quality detection of coal-fired power plants is also applied to the above mode, and the detection result lags behind the boiler combustion operation, which cannot provide the coal quality in time, is not conducive to the boiler combustion blending, and brings many potential unsafe factors and economic influence to the power plant production,
[0005] With the development of technology, the technology of real-time detection of coal quality is also developing, such as near-infrared spectroscopy technology, which has different absorption characteristics of near-infrared light in different components of coal. By irradiating the coal sample with a near-infrared spectrometer, collecting the reflected or transmitted spectral signals, and then using chemometrics methods to establish a quantitative relationship model between the spectrum and the coal quality indicators (such as moisture, ash, volatile matter, calorific value, etc.), the coal quality information can be obtained quickly and non-destructively. For example, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy technology, when the coal sample is irradiated with X-rays, the elements in the sample will emit characteristic X-ray fluorescence. According to the intensity and energy of the fluorescence, the types and contents of various elements in the coal can be determined, and then the ash content, sulfur content and other quality indicators of the coal can be inferred. This technology can be used to analyze the constant and trace elements in coal, and has the advantages of fast analysis speed, high precision, non-destructive sample, etc. However, these methods require high operation precision, the difference in sample collection has a great influence on the detection results, and the detected sample cannot be returned to the coal flow, so it cannot realize non-destructive testing.
