Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomass preparation technology, and in particular to a biomass cogeneration system for reducing carbon emissions from steel smelting. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, 70% of steel production comes from blast furnace smelting. Blast furnace ironmaking consumes a large amount of coal, whose main role in steelmaking is to provide heat and a reducing agent. The steel industry accounts for about 15% of total carbon emissions. With the peak carbon emission date approaching, reducing carbon emissions from steelmaking is imperative. Biomass has the potential to partially replace coal and possesses naturally zero-carbon properties. However, biomass has poor grindability and cannot be directly used in steelmaking. Therefore, converting biomass into "gas" and "charcoal" to overcome these problems has significant economic value. Utility Model Content

The biomass carbon gas cogeneration system includes a carbonization device, a mixing device, a magnetization device, a combustion chamber, a pretreatment system, a fermentation device, and an iron and steel smelting device.

[0005] The carbonization device accepts biochar prepared from biomass raw materials, which is then cooled and ground to produce powdered biochar; the combustible gas produced by the carbonization device is transported to the combustion chamber for complete combustion to obtain high-temperature flue gas, which is then transported to the magnetization device.

[0016] Preferably, the magnetization device employs indirect heating and is made of a non-magnetic metal with a temperature resistance of not less than 900°C.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention utilizes the prepared clean biogas and powdered biochar as heat sources and reducing agents, which has little impact on the iron and steel smelting process and can effectively reduce carbon emissions during the iron and steel smelting process.
