[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a flue gas recirculation system for a biomass oxy-fuel CFB boiler. It includes an oxy-fuel CFB boiler 1, an air preheater 2, a dust removal device 3, a desulfurization device 4, a flue gas cooler 5, a secondary air fan 7, a primary air fan 8, and a high-pressure fluidizing fan 9. The oxy-fuel CFB boiler 1 has a flue gas outlet. The flue gas outlet of the oxy-fuel CFB boiler 1 is connected to the dust removal device 3 via the air preheater 2. The dust removal device 3 is connected to the desulfurization device 4. The desulfurization device 4 is connected to the flue gas cooler 5. The flue gas cooler 5 is connected to the secondary air fan 7. The secondary air fan 7 is connected to both the primary air fan 8 and the oxy-fuel CFB boiler 1. The secondary air fan 7 is connected to the oxy-fuel CFB boiler 1 via the air preheater 2.

[0021] The primary air fan 8 is connected to the oxygen-enriched combustion CFB boiler 1 and the high-pressure fluidizing fan 9 respectively. The primary air fan 8 is connected to the oxygen-enriched combustion CFB boiler 1 through the air preheater 2, and the high-pressure fluidizing fan 9 is connected to the oxygen-enriched combustion CFB boiler 1.

[0022] The recirculated flue gas process involves a portion of the flue gas that has passed through the desulfurization equipment first passing through a flue gas cooler. After passing through the flue gas cooler, some of the liquid water droplets contained in the flue gas are removed, thus preventing liquid water droplets from mixing into the fan and affecting its operational safety.

[0023] The flue gas then enters the secondary fan for pressurization, and a portion of the flue gas enters the flue gas treatment equipment 6;

[0024] A portion of the flue gas from the secondary air fan outlet is mixed with pure oxygen and then enters the air preheater for preheating. It then enters the boiler as secondary air for staged combustion and participates in combustion inside the boiler.

[0025] Another portion of the flue gas from the secondary air fan outlet enters the primary air fan for repressurization.

[0026] A portion of the flue gas from the primary air blower outlet is mixed with pure oxygen and then enters the air preheater for preheating. It then enters the boiler as primary fluidizing air to ensure that the material is fully fluidized and participates in combustion.

[0027] Another portion of the flue gas from the primary blower outlet enters the high-pressure fluidizing blower for further pressurization, then enters the air preheater for preheating, and finally enters the boiler as high-pressure fluidizing air. This ensures the full fluidization of the materials inside the boiler, and the various equipment are connected by flue ducts.

[0028] After multiple flue gas cycles, the CO2 concentration in the flue gas will increase significantly, which will facilitate the purification or capture of CO2 in subsequent flue gas treatment equipment. The purified CO2 can be used as a raw material to prepare chemical products such as methanol.

The primary air fan 8 is connected to the water-cooled air chamber of the oxygen-enriched combustion CFB boiler 1 via an air preheater 2.
