基于图像法喷动床内空隙率研究

利用图像二值化方法处理图片,并采用Matlab编程实现空隙率的测量,从微观层次分析空隙率对喷动流化床内流动状态的影响。研究了颗粒粒径、喷口数量和表观气速对空隙率分布的影响。结果表明,增大表观气速使床层底部的稀相区增大,床层膨胀高度增加,空隙率也随之增加。增大颗粒粒径会增大最小临界流化速率,所以在其达到流化状态后流化床内颗粒粒径增大,床内喷动区空隙率减小比较明显。在相同条件下,与单喷口相比双喷口在床层底部附近存在合并射流,同时颗粒能到达的高度显著增加,底部两侧停滞区面积减小。结合对空隙率的分析,提出一种新的表征流化床内流化状态的参数(流化指数),可以直观地表示流化床内颗粒的流化状态。

Particle attrition mechanism with a sonic gas jet injected into a fluidized bed

High velocity gas jets in fluidized beds provide substantial particle attrition: they are used industrially to control the particle size in fluid bed cokers and to grind products such as toner, pharmaceutical or pigment powders. One method to control the size of the particles in the bed is to use an attrition nozzle, which injects high velocity gas and grinds the particles together. An important aspect of particle attrition is the understanding and modeling of the particle breakage mechanisms. The objective of this study is to develop a model to describe particle attrition when a sonic velocity gas jet is injected into a fluidized bed, and to verify the results using experimental data. The model predicts the particle size distribution of ground particles, the particle breakage frequency, and the proportion of original particles in the bed which were not ground. It was found that the particle breakage frequency can be used to predict the attrition results in different bed sizes. A correlation was also developed, which uses the attrition nozzle operating conditions such as gas density and equivalent speed of sound to predict the mass of particles broken per unit time.     

Influence of hydrodynamic parameters on particle attrition during fluidization at high temperature

In a fluidized bed, attrition both increases the number of particles and reduces particle size, which may affect reactor performance, fluidizing properties, operating stability and operating costs. Most fluidized applications are conducted at high temperature, but in the past most attrition correlations were performed at room temperature, so the attrition rate at high temperature could not be predicted. In contrast, this study investigates the attrition rate of fluidized materials at high temperature. Silica sand was used as the bed material; the operating parameters included temperature, particle size, static bed height and gas velocity to assess the attrition rate. Then an appropriate correlation was developed by regression analysis to predict attrition rate at high temperature. Experimental results indicated that the attrition rate increases with increasing temperature. In addition, the particle attrition increased as average particle size decreased because the probability of collision increases with surface area. The attrition rate increased with increasing gas velocity because of increased kinetic stress of particle movement. The actual density and viscosity of air at specific fluidization temperature were modified and an Ar number was introduced to fit our experimental data. The experimental correction agrees with the experimental results, which can predict particle attrition rate at high temperatures.

压力对溶剂法脱除焦油沥青中固体颗粒物的影响

精制沥青是制备各种功能炭材料的前体,焦油沥青需要预处理脱除其中的固体颗粒物（称为喹啉不溶物,QI）以得到精制沥青,压力是脱除QI的重要条件。本文以煤焦油沥青和添加生物质沥青的混合沥青为原料,研究压力对溶剂法脱除固体颗粒物的影响,测试不同压力下精制沥青的QI含量及产率,利用纳米粒度分析仪、扫描电子显微镜和高温黏度测定仪对QI颗粒形貌、粒度及脱除体系黏度进行表征和测定,分析压力对固体颗粒物絮凝沉降的影响规律。研究结果表明,增加压力对沥青收率升高有明显影响,使精制煤焦油沥青的收率由常压的64.6%（质量分数）提升至1MPa时的84.3%（质量分数）,精制沥青的QI含量维持在0.06%~0.1%（质量分数）之间。添加15%生物质沥青的混合沥青,产率则由常压时的55.7%（质量分数）提升至1MPa时的72.5%（质量分数）。压力对精制沥青的QI含量影响较小,压力增大,溶剂对沥青组分尤其是重质组分的溶解能力增强,使精制沥青产率升高。较高压力也使体系的黏度略微增大,造成部分QI颗粒沉降困难,不过影响较小。中间相沥青制备的结果表明,精制沥青可以制备出具有流域型结构的中间相沥青,添加生物质沥青更好地改进了流域型的显微结构。     

High velocity attrition nozzles in fluidized beds

Gas-solid fluidized beds are used in many industrial applications such as polyethylene production, drying, coating, granulation, fluid catalytic cracking and fluid coking. For some industrial applications, controlling the size distribution of the particles in a fluid bed is extremely important in order to avoid poor fluidization. One method to control the size of the particles in the bed is to use attrition nozzles, which inject high velocity gas jets into the bed creating high shear regions and grinding particles together. The objective of this study was to test different high velocity attrition nozzles and operating conditions in order to determine the effects of fluidization velocity, nozzle size, nozzle geometry, bed material and attrition gas properties on the grinding efficiency. Samples of solids were taken from the bed and analyzed before and after each injection and a grinding efficiency was defined as the new surface area created per mass of attrition gas used. An empirical correlation was also developed to estimate the grinding efficiency, and its predictions were validated using the experimental data. Large diameter nozzles with a Laval nozzle geometry, operating at high upstream pressures and high fluidization velocities, resulted in the highest grinding efficiencies. Gas properties, such as speed of sound and density, had a significant impact on the grinding efficiency.     

Attrition behavior of fine particles in a fluidized bed with bimodal particles: Influence of particle density and size ratio

To process the solid particulates in fluidized bed and slurry phase reactors, attrition is an inevitable consequence and is therefore one of the preliminary parameters for the catalyst design. In this paper, the mechanical degradation propensity of the zeolite catalysts (particles) was investigated in a bimodal distribution environment using a Gas Jet Attrition — ASTM standard fluidized bed test (D-5757). The experimentation was conducted in order to explore parameters affecting attrition phenomena in a bimodal fluidization. In a bimodal fluidization system, two different types of particles are co-fluidized isothermally. The air jet attrition index (AJI) showed distinct increases in the attrition rate of small particles in a bimodal fluidization environment under standard operating conditions, in comparison with single particle. A series of experiments were conducted using particles of various sizes, with large particles of different densities and sizes. Experimental results suggest that the relative density and particle size ratio have a significant influence on attrition behavior during co-fluidization. Therefore a generalized relationship has been drawn using Gwyn constants; those defined material properties of small particles. Moreover, distinct attrition incremental phenomenon was observed during co-fluidization owing to the change in collision pattern and impact, which was associated with relative particle density and size ratios.     

Steam gasification of an australian bituminous coal in a fluidized bed

To produce low calorific value gas, Australian coal has been gasified with air and steam in a fluidized bed reactor (0.1 m-I.Dx1.6 m-high) at atmospheric pressure. The effects of fluidizing gas velocity (2–5 U_f/U_mf), reaction temperature (750–900 °C), air/coal ratio (1.6-3.2), and steam/coal ratio (0.63–1.26) on gas composition, gas yield, gas calorific value of the product gas and carbon conversion have been determined. The calorific value and yield of the product gas, cold gas efficiency, and carbon conversion increase with increasing fluidization gas velocity and reaction temperature. With increasing air/coal ratio, carbon conversion, cold gas efficiency and yield of the product gas increase, but the calorific value of the product gas decreases. When steam/coal ratio is increased, cold gas efficiency, yield and calorific value of the product gas increase, but carbon conversion is little changed. Unburned carbon fraction of cyclone fine decreases with increasing fluidization gas velocity, reaction temperature and air/coal ratio, but is nearly constant with increasing steam/coal ratio. Overall carbon conversion decreases with increasing fluidization velocity and air/ coal ratio, but increases with increasing reaction temperature. The particle entrainment rate increases with increasing fluidization velocity, but decreases with increasing reaction temperature. This paper is dedicated to Professor Dong Sup Doh on the occasion of his retirement from Korea University.     

Fluidization of extremely large and widely sized coal particles as well as its application in an advanced chain grate boiler

A pyrolysis combustion technology (PCT) was developed for high-efficiency and environment-friendly chain grate boilers (CGBs). The realization of the PCT in a CGB requires that extremely large and widely sized coal particles should be first pyrolyzed in a semi-fluidized state before being transported into the combustion chamber of the boiler. This article was devoted first to investigating the fluidization of 0-40 mm coal particles in order to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the PCT. In succession, through mixing 0-10 mm and 10-20 mm coal particles in different proportions, multiple pseudo binary mixtures were prepared and then fluidized to clarify the effect of particle size distribution. With raw steam coal used as the feedstock, the superficial gas velocity of about 2.0 m/s may be suitable for stable operation of the fluidized-bed pyrolyzer in the CGB with the PCT. In the fluidization of widely sized coal particles, approximately half of the coal mass is segregated into the bottom section of the bed, though about 15% of 10-20 mm large particles are broken into 0-10 mm small particles because of particle attrition. The experimental results illustrate that an advanced CGB with the PCT has a high adaptability for various coals with different size distributions.
