Fundamentals of coal topping gasification: Characterization of pyrolysis topping in a fluidized bed reactor

Coal topping gasification refers to a process that extracts the volatiles contained in coal into gas and tar rich in chemical structures in advance of gasification. The technology can be implemented in a reactor system coupling a fluidized bed pyrolyzer and a transport bed gasifier in which coal is first pyrolyzed in the fluidized bed before being forwarded into the transport bed for gasification. The present article is devoted to investigating the pyrolysis of lignite and bituminite in a fluidized bed reactor. The results showed that the highest tar yield appeared at 823 to 923 K for both coals. When coal ash from CFB boiler was used as the bed material, obvious decreases in the yields of tar and pyrolysis gas were observed. Pyrolysis in a reaction atmosphere simulating the pyrolysis gas composition of coal resulted in a higher production of tar. Under the conditions of using CFB boiler ash as the bed material and the simulated pyrolysis gas as the reaction atmosphere, the tar yields for pyrolytic topping in a fluidized bed reactor was about 11.4 wt.% for bituminite and 6.5 wt.% for lignite in dry ash-free coal base.     

热分解气氛对流化床煤热解制油的影响

在循环流化床锅炉上耦合流化床热解反应器既可提供电力又副产热解油,明显提高煤的利用价值。在这个过程中,热解反应器通常利用自身产生的热解气作为流化介质。本文考察了模拟热解气反应气氛对流化床煤热解拔头制取热解油产率的影响,并利用TG-FTIR分析了焦油官能团组成及随TG温度的变化。针对锅炉用烟煤的实验结果表明：采用热解气作为反应气氛时焦油产率最大,相对无水无灰基煤达13%。反应气氛中H₂和CO₂的存在不利于焦油生成,但CO 和CH₄的加入提高了焦油产率;H₂的加入有利于焦油中酚羟基、羧基类化合物生成,同时也促进了脂肪族化合物的裂解;CH₄的存在可以提高焦油中单环芳烃、脂肪族及酚羟基类化合物的含量。     

Simulation of a Lignite‐Based Polygeneration System Coproducing Electricity and Tar with Carbon Capture

Lignite‐based polygeneration systems for coproducing tar and electricity with and without carbon capture and storage (CCS) were proposed and simulated. Predried lignite was pyrolyzed into coal gas, tar, and char. Coal gas was fired in a gas turbine after the cleanup process, while char was combusted in circulating fluidized‐bed (CFB) boilers. The polygeneration plant without CCS turned out to be more efficient than the conventional CFB power plant, suggesting that the former is a promising and efficient option to utilize lignite resources. Moreover, the performance and emissions of polygeneration plants with and without CCS were compared. It was shown that the more CO₂ is captured, the larger energy penalty it will cost. Therefore, a trade‐off should be made between low emissions and high efficiency.     

Process characteristics investigation of simulated circulating fluidized bed combustion combined with coal pyrolysis

A poly-generation process of simulated circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion combined with coal pyrolysis was developed in a laboratory scale. Pyrolysis characteristics of three bituminous coals with high volatile contents were investigated in a fixed bed with capacity of 10 kg solid samples. The effects of initial temperature of solid heat carrier, pyrolysis holding time, blending (ash/coal) ratio and coal particle size on gas and tar yields were studied experimentally. The results indicate that the initial temperature of the heat carrier is the key factor that affects the gas and tar yield, and the gas composition. Most of the gas and the tar are released during the first few minutes of the pyrolysis holding time. For caking coal, the amount of char agglomerating on the pyrolyzer inner wall is reduced by enhancing the blending ratio. The experimental results may provide basic engineering data or information for the process design of CFB combustion combined with coal pyrolysis in a large scale.     

Study on design of Huadian oil shale-fired circulating fluidized bed boiler

On the basis of the physical and chemical performance of Huadian oil shale and the design experience of Huadian 65 t/h oil shale-fired circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler operation, this paper introduces several main characteristics of oil shale, such as platy structure, high volatile and Ca/S content, and low ignition temperature, which are relevant to the design of CFB boiler, and analyses key design technologies of large-scale oil shale-fired circulating fluidized bed boiler. The design principles of large-scale oil shale-fired CFB boiler are suggested: (1) to adopt a II-shape configuration natural circulation mode with medium-temperature cyclone with downward gas exhaust, reliable antiwear technology and self-desulfurization technology; (2) to determine a circulating ratio of 6, hot state superficial air velocity of 5–6 m/s, combustion portion of about 0.5–0.6 in dense phase zone, and air velocity at the nozzle hole of air cap of 50–60 m/s; (3) to adopt an igniting system with hot gas generator below distributor plate and oil guns as auxiliary ignition device above distributor plate, and fluidized bed ash cooler retrieving the heat taken by hot slag. Lastly, the design scheme of 420 t/h superhigh pressure oil shale-fired CFB boiler is put forward and the general configuration and technical data are given at the end of this paper.

Simulation of coal pyrolysis by solid heat carrier in a moving-bed pyrolyzer

A one-dimensional, steady state, numerical model for coal pyrolysis by solid heat carrier in moving-bed has been developed. The multiple-reaction model of coal pyrolysis and the gas–solid–solid three phases heat transfer theory in packed bed have been applied to account for the pyrolysis process. The results show that the axial temperature distribution of the coal particles increase with a heating rate more than 600 K/min. Coal particle size has significant influence on the heating rate, while blending ratio is the determinant factor of pyrolysis temperature. Given the main operating parameters, product distributions (H₂, CO, CH₄, tar, etc) are calculated by the model. The modeling results are found to agree the experimental data using a moving-bed pyrolyzer with processing capacity 10 kg h^?1 of coal.
