Ash deposition behavior of upgraded brown coal in pulverized coal combustion boiler

Ash with a low melting point causes slagging and fouling problems in pulverized coal combustion boilers. Ash deposition on heat exchanger tubes reduces the overall heat transfer coefficient due to its low thermal conductivity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ash deposition for Upgraded Brown Coal (UBC) and bituminous coal in a 145 MW practical coal combustion boiler. The UBC stands for Upgraded Brown Coal. The melting temperature of UBC ash is relatively lower than that of bituminous coal ashes. Combustion tests were conducted on blended coal consisting 20 wt.% of UBC and 80 wt.% of bituminous coal. Before actual ash deposition tests, the molten slag fractions in those coal ashes were estimated by means of chemical equilibrium calculations. The calculation results showed the molten slag fraction for UBC ash reached approximately 90% at 1523 K. However, that for blended coal ash decreased to 50%. These calculation results mean that blending UBC with bituminous coal played a role in decreasing the molten slag fraction. This phenomenon occurred because the coal blending led to the formation of alumino-silicates compounds as a solid phase. Next, ash deposition tests were conducted using a practical pulverized coal combustion boiler. A water-cooled stainless-steel tube was inserted in locations at both 1523 K and 1273 K in the boiler to measure the amount of ash deposits. The results showed that the mass of ash deposition for blended coal did not greatly increase, compared with that for bituminous coal alone. Therefore, appropriately blending UBC with bituminous coal enabled the use of UBC without any ash deposition problems in practical boilers.     

煤粉高压着火特性及影响因素

高压气化炉内煤粉的着火特性对煤粉烧嘴和气化室的设计与运行调控具有重要意义。笔者采用加压热重分析法对3个煤样的着火特性进行研究,根据升温过程中的能量守恒原理和谢苗诺夫着火理论提出了一种新的处理PTG曲线求取着火温度的拐点法,并与传统经验切线法进行对比;讨论了压力、氧气体积分数、升温速率、挥发分和颗粒粒径对着火温度的影响。研究结果表明,煤粉着火温度区间为从初始着火温度(Ti)到极限着火温度(Tig),环境换热条件所决定的切点位置是唯一定解条件,高温工业炉高加热速率对应的为极限着火温度;与常压条件下相比,加压下固定床煤粉的着火为异相着火,着火温度随挥发分的增加而略有增加;在0.1~1.0 MPa和3~5 MPa的压力范围内,随压力的升高,着火温度下降,且比常压下低很多,虽然在1~3 MPa的着火温度略有增加;氧气体积分数对着火温度的影响规律与常压的类似,随氧气体积分数的增加,着火温度降低;虽然加压条件下煤粉的快速反应,拐点法与切线法得到的着火温度相近,但切线法无法响应环境条件的变化,且常压下,经验的切线法无法给出令人满意的结果。     

低挥发分煤粉燃烧新技术发展与应用

Fate of coal nitrogen during combustion

A total of 21 coals covering all ranks have been burned under a wide variety of conditions to ascertain the impact of coal properties on the fate of fuel nitrogen. Fuel NO was identified with a nitrogen-free oxidant consisting of Ar-O₂CO₂. In general, under fuel-lean conditions fuel NO formation increases with increasing fuel nitrogen content; however, other fuel properties also significantly affect the fate of fuel-bound nitrogen during combustion. In particular, fuel nitrogen conversion appears to be greater with coals containing a high fraction of volatile reactive nitrogen. Under fuel-rich conditions measurements of first-stage and exhaust-species concentrations suggest that the optimum stoichiometry for minimum emissions is a function of fuel composition. As first-stage stoichiometry is decreased, the NO formed in the first stage decreases, but other oxidizable gas nitrogen species increase as does nitrogen retention in the char. Total fixed nitrogen generally increases with increasing fuel nitrogen and correlates well with excess air exhaust emissions. The distribution of the total fixed nitrogen species leaving the first stage is strongly dependent upon the coal composition. Of the 12 coals tested in detail, only 1 (the high-volatile B bituminous from Utah) produced high HCN concentrations. The low-volatile Pennsylvania anthracite formed almost no HCN or NH₃ even under extremely fuel-rich conditions. In general, the first stage NO percentage decreased significantly with decreasing coal rank from anthracite to lignite. Conversely, the relative importance of NH₃ grew with decreasing rank. HCN was greater than NH₃ in all bituminous tests, but less than NH₃ with all subbituminous and lignite coals.

Investigation of particle dynamics and pulverized coal combustion in a cavity bluff-body burner

Mean and fluctuating velocity components and turbulence characteristics of the flow in the outlet of a cavity bluff-body burner were measured using three-dimensional laser particle dynamics anemometry (3D PDA). Results are also given on the choice of model particles, particle diameter distribution in and out of the recirculation zone, particle number density and volume flux distribution, and the combustion process for low-volatile coals. The experimental results not only provide an explanation of the mechanism of flame stabilization of the cavity bluff-body burner, but also demonstrate the potential of this kind of flame stabilization in industrial use.     

Analysis of low NO emission in high temperature air combustion for pulverized coal

High temperature air combustion experiments for pulverized coal in a large-scale furnace have been done before and shown that the NO emission in the high temperature air combustion is significantly lower than that in the normal temperature air combustion. This paper numerically studies the NO evolution in the large-scale experiments with a simplified chemical reaction model. Through an analysis of numerical results a low NO emission mechanism in the high temperature air combustion has been presented. If the HCN concentration is high, the NO generation is fast. But, the high HCN and NO concentrations together will make NO destruction fast. It is found that, by properly arranging flow patterns, the high HCN and NO concentrations can be obtained in the vicinity of primary air nozzle. Thus, the generation and destruction of NO can reach an equilibrium point so that the net NO emission rate is low.     

Physical structure and combustion properties of super fine pulverized coal particle

Physical structures and combustion properties of super fine pulverized coal particles of eight Chinese coals, Heshan subbituminous coals and Jincheng lean coals from two areas of China, have been investigated using accelerated surface area and porosimetry, thermobalance (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Results showed that the particle specific surface area and pore volume increased greatly when the coal particle size was reduced. The higher the carbon content on a dry ash-free basis is, the larger the particle specific surface area and pore volume are. When the coal particle size decreases, the combustion process can be largely improved, ignition temperature is reduced, and SO₂ emission from coal combustion is also lower.     

A mathematical model of ash formation during pulverized coal combustion

A mathematical model of ash formation during high-rank pulverized coal combustion is reported in this paper. The model is based on the computer-controlled scanning electron microscope (CCSEM) characterization of minerals in pulverized coals. From the viewpoint of the association with coal carbon matrix, individual mineral grains present in coal particles can be classified as included or excluded minerals. Included minerals refer to those discrete mineral grains that are intimately surrounded by the carbon matrix. Excluded minerals are those liberated minerals not or at least associated with coal carbon matter. Included minerals and excluded minerals are treated separately in the model. Included minerals are assumed to randomly disperse between individual coal particles based on coal and mineral particle size distributions. A mechanism of partial-coalescence of included minerals within single coal particles is related to char particulate structures formed during devolatilization. Fragmentation of excluded minerals, which is important particularly for a coal with a significant fraction of excluded minerals, is simulated using a stochastic approach of Poisson distribution. A narrow-sized sample of an Australian bituminous coal was combusted in a drop-tube furnace under operating conditions similar to that in boilers. The particle size distribution and chemical composition of experimental ash were compared to those predicted with the model. The comparisons indicated that the model generally reflected the combined effect of coalescence of included minerals and fragmentation of excluded minerals, the two important mechanisms governing ash formation for high-rank coals.     

空气冷却式煤粉燃烧室数值模拟研究

双锥煤粉燃烧室在小容量工业锅炉中广泛采用水冷却方式,但随着市场对高容量锅炉需求的增加,双锥燃烧室体积增大、数量增多,如仍采用水冷却的方式将导致安装困难、水系统复杂等问题,亟需开发新的冷却方式。空气冷却形式具有结构简单、预热后的空气可以增加煤粉的着火稳定性等优点,需要考察其首次应用于双锥煤粉燃烧室中的效果。为了确定空气冷却式燃烧室燃烧和壁面冷却情况,采用数值模拟技术对14 MW工业锅炉燃烧室和炉膛进行三维建模,得到50%和100%两种负荷下不同内外二次风配风比例下燃烧室内部燃烧情况、金属壁面温度、出口火焰形状和炉膛充满度。结果表明:控制总空气过量系数不变,随着内二次风比例的逐渐增加,燃烧室内的平均温度逐渐降低;50%负荷下金属壁面温度随二次风比例的增加逐渐降低,100%负荷下金属壁面温度先降低后升高,这是内二次风助燃燃烧和外二次风的冷却共同作用的结果。随着内二次风比例的增加,金属壁面的高温区域逐渐后移,集中于后锥出口区域;在50%负荷下内二次风量占总空气量比例为0.4时,金属壁面具有最高温度930 K,100%负荷下内二次风量占总空气量比例为0.2时,壁面金属最高温度835K,2个最高温度均出现在后锥收缩段,据最高温度推荐壁面材料选取0Cr18Ni9,2种负荷下最高温度出现时燃烧室内的内二次风配风量为2 600 Nm3/h,应尽量使内二次风远离此配风量;50%负荷下燃烧室平均温度、金属壁面平均温度及最高温度均高于100%负荷,是空气冷却结构需要重点考察的工况。随着内二次风比例的逐渐增加,火焰长度先增加后减小,当内二次风过小时,出口气速较小,外二次风具有向中心的速度分量,火焰主要集中在炉膛前部。随着内二次风比例的增加,出口速度增大,火焰变长变细。但随着比例的继续增加,外二次风的轴向速度变小,出口火焰的旋流强度完全由二次风决定,出口旋流强度的增大导致了火焰的变短变粗,在2种负荷下,火焰长度较长时,内二次风比例为0.4~0.5。内外二次风比例为0.5∶0.5时,燃烧室内燃烧情况和壁面温度均匀稳定,火焰在炉膛内的充满度最好,是2个考察负荷下均较适合的运行参数。     

The influence of fragmentation on the behavior of pyrite particles during pulverized coal combustion

Coal combustion is a complex series of reactions, dominated by transport mechanisms. A poorly understood aspect is the influence that fragmentation of excluded pyrite minerals has on the combustion thermal history and sulfur release. To explore this effect, fragmentation was incorporated into a mathematical model consisting of several stages, namely: heating up the particle, decomposition to pyrrhotite, fragmentation, and oxidization. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was used to verify the heat and mass transfer predictions of the model. The model was then solved to simulate the particle heat and mass balance of a pyrite particle in a combustion environment.Fragmentation was found to increase particle temperature and sulfur release rate compared with a no fragmentation case, speeding up the particle temperature increase towards its melting point. Increased oxygen content in the bulk environment decreases the time required for a particle to reach its melting point and for complete sulfur release due to increased oxidation reaction rates. Model results also indicate that small pyrite particles need less time to reach both decomposition and melting temperatures; suggesting that smaller particles will spend more time in a molten state and react more completely.

Organic emissions in coal combustion in relation to coal structure and combustion temperature

The pulsed combustion of coal has been studied in a small fluidized-bed reactor. The effect of combustion temperature and coal rank on the organic composition of the off-gas was investigated. Results are presented for the combustion of an anthracite, a medium-volatile bituminous coal and a high-volatile bituminous coal at 700, 800 and 900°C. The analytical techniques used include on-line FT-i.r., O₂ monitoring, FID and off-line g.c.-m.s. using Tenax as adsorbent. About 120 hydrocarbons were found, of which over 80% have been identified. Overall combustion characteristics such as oxygen consumption, total amount of unburned hydrocarbons and swelling properties of the coal have been related to the composition of the organic substances in the off-gas. The distribution of the polycyclic aromatics, from benzene to chrysene, and of alkylated derivatives is discussed in detail. Oxygen-containing compounds have also been analysed, although detailed discussion would be premature.     

燃煤过程中水蒸气对砷释放特性的影响

为了研究水蒸气对煤燃烧过程中砷释放特性的影响,在800~1 300℃下对庆华煤进行燃烧试验,并结合XRD分析了水蒸气对砷释放的作用机理。气氛中有水蒸气时,可以明显加快煤的失重;相同温度下,气氛中存在水蒸气时,煤中砷的逃逸有一定的增加,随着水蒸气浓度的增加,逃逸率增加趋势放缓;随着温度的增加,水蒸气对砷的逃逸率的提升效果减弱。在水蒸气气氛下灰的矿物质组成结构发生变化,石膏等硫酸盐增多,主要是水蒸气促进了石膏的形成,缩减了高活性CaO的停留时间,抑制了CaO对砷的捕捉,造成砷吸附率降低,逃逸率增加。
