Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rotary kilns, and more specifically, to a gas mixing mechanism for combustion in a rotary kiln. Background Technology

[0002] In China, raw meal grinding and clinker calcination are two core processes in traditional cement production, significantly impacting product quality and energy consumption. With the development of the cement industry, improving combustion efficiency and thermal energy utilization has become a focus. Oxygen-enriched combustion technology can effectively shorten coal combustion time, improve combustion efficiency and temperature, thus meeting the requirements for high-strength clinker calcination. By optimizing the combustion process, oxygen-enriched combustion technology reduces emissions of harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), helping cement companies achieve green production. Thoroughly mixing fuel gas and oxygen is currently a goal pursued by the cement industry; however, current rotary kilns simply introduce fuel gas and oxygen without achieving uniform mixing, thus requiring improvement.

[0004] This application provides a gas mixing mechanism for combustion in a rotary kiln, including a gas inlet pipe, an oxygen inlet pipe, and an annular pipe. The gas inlet pipe and the oxygen inlet pipe are both connected to the rotary kiln. The annular pipe is installed inside the rotary kiln and is provided with multiple air nozzles, all of which are oriented towards the central axis of the rotary kiln.

[0005] Preferably, the annular pipe is provided with multiple rotatable air distribution plates inside.

[0006] Preferably, multiple annular pipes are provided, and the multiple annular pipes are evenly installed inside the rotary kiln.

[0007] Preferably, the distance between two adjacent jet nozzles is 5-10 cm.
