Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste resource utilization devices, and in particular to an integrated device for plasma pyrolysis and pyrolysis of organic waste. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards across the country, the amount of various wastes generated has also increased dramatically, placing a huge burden on the environment. There are many waste treatment methods, such as landfill, composting, and incineration, but waste pyrolysis has received widespread attention due to its advantages of high energy recovery rate and low pollution. Organic waste pyrolysis typically refers to the process in which biomass is heated to a high temperature in an anaerobic or low-oxygen environment, causing molecular decomposition to produce coke, condensable liquids, and gaseous products. It is an important form of biomass energy utilization. The gases generated during operation contain large amounts of methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, which can be used as industrial fuel, offering good economic benefits.
[0003] For example, patent CN103074093B discloses an integrated process and system for direct drying and pyrolysis of lignite. In this system, the pyrolysis gas is not diluted by external gases, and all the generated fuel gas is ultimately supplied externally. The low-pressure steam produced by pyrolysis is used for steam catalytic reforming of the lignite and pyrolysis gas, resulting in high steam utilization. However, during the preparation process, the high-temperature products generated in the pyrolysis furnace may lose some heat during transfer to the pyrolysis furnace, reducing energy utilization efficiency and increasing the energy input required to heat the pyrolysis furnace.

[0032] The feed door 8 is used to add materials into the pyrolysis chamber 51, and the materials enter the pyrolysis chamber 51 through the feed pipe 7, providing raw materials for the pyrolysis reaction. The materials undergo pyrolysis in the pyrolysis chamber 51, and the pyrolysis gas after pyrolysis is connected to the output end of the plasma torch 4 through the exhaust pipe 52. The pyrolysis chamber 2 is used to contain the materials and equipment required for the pyrolysis reaction.

[0034] Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102 arranged side by side. The interiors of the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are connected to form the pyrolysis chamber 2. The height of the top of the first housing 101 is less than the height of the top of the second housing 102. The hydrogen outlet 3 and the feed pipe 7 are both connected to the top of the first housing 101, and the exhaust pipe 52 and the plasma torch 4 are both connected to the top of the second housing 102. By setting the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 at different heights, the installation positions of each component are more reasonable, facilitating operation and maintenance.

Optionally, both the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are rectangular parallelepiped structures.
[0035] In some embodiments, the feed pipe 7 includes a first feed pipe 71 and a second feed pipe 72 connected to each other. The first feed pipe 71 extends horizontally, and the second feed pipe 72 extends vertically. The end of the second feed pipe 72 away from the first feed pipe 71 is connected to the top of the pyrolysis chamber 51. The feed furnace door 8 is located at the end of the first feed pipe 71 away from the second feed pipe 72. The segmented arrangement of the feed pipe 7 makes its structure more flexible and facilitates the addition and conveying of materials.
[0036] Optionally, a feed temperature sensor 9 is provided on the first feed pipe 71, and the detection end of the feed temperature detector is located inside the first feed pipe 71. The feed temperature detector can monitor the feed temperature in real time, ensuring that the material reaches a suitable temperature range before entering the pyrolysis chamber 51, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the pyrolysis reaction.
[0037] In some embodiments, a pyrolysis furnace tube 10 is provided on the side of the first housing 101. One end of the pyrolysis furnace tube 10 passes through the first housing 101 and communicates with the pyrolysis chamber 51, and the other end of the pyrolysis furnace tube 10 is provided with a pyrolysis furnace door 11. The pyrolysis furnace tube 10 provides a discharge channel for the pyrolysis chamber 51, and the opening and closing of the pyrolysis furnace tube 10 can be easily controlled through the pyrolysis furnace door 11, facilitating the cleaning of slag remaining in the pyrolysis chamber 51 after pyrolysis.
[0038] Optionally, the pyrolysis furnace tube 10 is arranged side by side with the pyrolysis chamber 51 or the pyrolysis furnace tube 10 is connected to the bottom of the pyrolysis chamber 51, thereby ensuring that the slag at the bottom of the pyrolysis chamber 51 can be cleaned through the pyrolysis furnace tube 10, ensuring the convenience of operation.
[0039] Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the pyrolysis chamber 2 is connected to a settling chamber 12, and a settling furnace door 13 connected to the settling chamber 12 is provided on the side of the first housing 101.

[0040] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a heat insulation member 14. The heat insulation member 14 can effectively reduce the heat transfer from the inner wall of the housing 1 to the outside, improve the thermal efficiency of the pyrolysis furnace, reduce energy consumption, and at the same time help protect the structure of the housing 1 and extend its service life.
[0041] The insulation component 14 can be made of ceramic fiber, which has excellent thermal insulation performance and high temperature resistance, enabling it to operate stably for extended periods in high-temperature environments. The lightweight nature of ceramic fiber also ensures that the insulation layer does not place an excessive burden on the structure of the casing 1. Alternatively, the insulation component 14 can be made of rock wool or glass wool, which are low-cost and offer good thermal insulation performance. For applications requiring even higher thermal insulation performance, aerogel can be used, as its extremely low thermal conductivity provides superior insulation. In applications requiring fireproofing and thermal insulation, the insulation component 14 can also be made of materials such as vermiculite or perlite. Of course, the insulation component 14 can be an integral structure or a modular structure. In this embodiment, the insulation component 14 adopts a modular structure, meaning that multiple insulation components 14 are provided, and these multiple insulation components 14 are assembled and installed inside the casing 1 for thermal insulation or fireproofing, etc.
[0042] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a first detection element 15 for detecting the temperature inside the pyrolysis chamber 51. The first detection element 15 can monitor the temperature change inside the pyrolysis chamber 51 in real time, providing accurate temperature data for the control of the cracking reaction, ensuring that the cracking process is carried out within a suitable temperature range, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of hydrogen production.
[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a second detection element 16 for detecting the output end of the plasma torch 4. The output status of the plasma torch 4 can be monitored in real time through the second detection element 16, ensuring that the plasma torch 4 works normally and provides a stable high-temperature environment for the pyrolysis reaction. This monitoring function helps to detect abnormalities in the plasma torch 4 in a timely manner and avoids interruption or failure of the pyrolysis reaction due to equipment failure.
[0044] In some embodiments, a third detection element 17 is provided at the bottom of the first housing 101, and a fourth detection element 18 is provided at the bottom of the second housing 102. The third detection element 17 and the fourth detection element 18 are arranged at intervals, and both the third detection element 17 and the fourth detection element 18 are used to detect the temperature inside the pyrolysis chamber 2. By setting multiple detection elements at different positions in the pyrolysis chamber 2, the temperature distribution inside the pyrolysis chamber 2 can be monitored more comprehensively, providing richer data support for the precise control of the pyrolysis process, and further improving the operational stability and safety of the integrated plasma pyrolysis pyrolysis device for organic waste.
[0045] The feed temperature sensor 9, the first detection element 15, the second detection element 16, the third detection element 17, and the fourth detection element 18 are used to detect the temperature at different locations. These elements can have the same structure or different structures. For example, any one of the following can be used: a temperature sensor, a resistance temperature detector (RTD), an infrared thermometer, or a thermometer.
[0046] Figures 1 to 4 As shown above, this application provides an integrated plasma pyrolysis and cracking device for organic waste. This device adds material to the pyrolysis chamber 51 through the feed furnace door 8. The material enters the pyrolysis chamber 51 through the feed pipe 7, providing raw materials for the pyrolysis reaction. The material undergoes pyrolysis within the pyrolysis chamber 51. The pyrolysis gas is then connected to the output end of the plasma torch 4 through the exhaust pipe 52. The cracking chamber 2 contains the materials and equipment required for the cracking reaction. Cracking is performed by the high-temperature plasma generated by the plasma torch 4, producing cracking gas. The hydrogen produced after cracking is discharged through the hydrogen outlet 3 for subsequent collection and utilization. The tail gas generated by pyrolysis can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 52 by opening the plug 6. Furthermore, by placing the pyrolysis chamber 51 inside the cracking chamber 2, the high-temperature environment within the cracking chamber 2 can be fully utilized. The high temperature within the cracking chamber 2 can directly act on the pyrolysis chamber 51, making the pyrolysis process more efficient, reducing heat loss, improving the overall system's thermal efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and solving the problem of heat loss during the transfer of high-temperature products generated by the pyrolysis furnace.
