煤与生物质掺烧灰渣碱/氯演化特性及灰渣资源化利用

Evolution characteristics of alkali/chlorine in coal biomass co-combustion ash and subsequent utilization of ash resources

  • 摘要: 煤与生物质掺烧灰渣制备水泥是实现其资源化利用的重要途径,然而掺烧生物质会影响灰渣的碱/氯特性,直接影响水泥制备。前人多研究燃烧过程中碱/氯的释放特性和高活性矿物生物质掺烧,对灰渣中碱/氯特性及低活性矿物生物质掺烧的研究十分匮乏。为推动煤与生物质掺烧灰渣的资源化利用,探究了煤与低活性矿物竹屑/高活性矿物玉米秆在不同温度、氧气浓度和掺烧比例下的灰渣中碱/氯演化特性。结果表明:900~1 200 ℃下红海湾煤与玉米秆掺烧灰渣中的碱含量在1 000 ℃时最小可达6.72%,而氯离子质量分数随温度升高而持续降低,为0.024%~0.052%。在O2体积分数为16%~24%时,掺烧玉米秆或竹屑都会削弱O2浓度对红海湾煤灰渣中碱/氯的影响,红海湾煤在玉米秆掺烧后灰渣中碱/氯的变化率由40.4%/26.0%降低至2.61%/2.08%。在10%~50%的掺烧质量比下,红海湾煤与竹屑掺烧灰渣中碱/氯的含量随掺烧比例增加而逐渐增加,变化率可达17.1%/76.9%。此外,由于玉米秆灰活性矿物含量与红海湾煤接近而竹屑的灰产率较低,不同燃烧工况下灰中活性矿物质量分数的变化小于10.1%。进一步分析了不同工况对灰渣在水泥中掺量的影响,结果显示与生物质单独燃烧相比,竹屑与红海湾煤掺烧后灰渣在水泥中的掺量提高了17%~22%,综合煤炭燃烧和水泥生产过程,预计可减少1.01~1.49 tCO2/t水泥。基于上述灰渣碱/氯和活性矿物演化特性的研究结果,以减少碳排放和获得高掺量灰渣为目标,给出了适用于不同生物质掺烧的推荐燃烧工况。

     

    Abstract: The use for cement production represents a significant way for the subsequent utilization of ash from co-combustion of coal and biomass. However, the introduction of biomass will affect the characteristics of alkali/chlorine in ash, directly impacting the cement production. While numerous studies have been carried out on the release characteristics of alkalis and chlorine during combustion processes, as well as the co-combustion of biomass with high content of alkali-active mineral, research on the characteristics of alkali/chlorine in ash and the co-combustion of biomass with low content of alkali-active minerals is notably lacking. To promote the utilization of ash resulting from coal and biomass co-combustion, the evolution characteristics of alkali/chlorine in ash from the co-combustion of coal with bamboo shavings (low in alkali-active minerals) and corn stalks (high in alkali-active minerals) was investigated. The investigation was carried out under varying conditions, including different temperatures, oxygen concentrations, and blending ratios, in order to study the impact of different operating conditions. The results show that the alkali content in the ash from the co-combustion of coal and corn stalks at temperatures ranging from 900 ℃ to 1 200 ℃ reaches a minimum value of 6.72% at 1 000 ℃. Meanwhile, the chloride ion content decreases as the temperature rises, ranging from 0.024% to 0.052%. The impact of O2 concentrations on alkali/chlorine in ash is weakened after biomass introduced at 16%–24% O2 concentrations. Specifically, corn stalk reduces the variation rates of alkalis/chlorine in coal ash from 40.4%/26.0% to 2.61%/2.08%. At blending ratios of 10%–50% bamboo shavings, the content of alkalis/chlorine in the ash gradually increases, with variation rates reaching up to 17.1%/76.9%. Besides, due to the similar content of alkali-active mineral in corn stalk ash compared to coal and the low ash yield of bamboo shavings, the variation in the content of alkali-active minerals in the ash under different combustion conditions is less than 10.1%. Further, the impact of different operating conditions on the proportion for cement production of ash is studied, which shows that compared to the combustion of bamboo shavings alone, the proportion for cement production of ash from co-combustion of bamboo shavings and coal increased by 17%–22%. Considering both the coal combustion and cement production processes, it is estimated to result in a reduction of 1.01–1.49 tCO2 per tonne of cement. Based on the research findings on the evolution characteristics of alkalis/chlorine and alkali-active minerals in ash, the optimum co-combustion conditions for different biomass with coal are recommended, with the objectives of reducing carbon emissions and achieving high ash proportion for cement production.
