载氧体辅助生物质流化床富氧燃烧特性研究

Investigation of oxygen carriers aided oxy-fuel combustion characteristics in fluidized bed

  • 摘要: 生物质流化床富氧燃烧技术可实现全生命周期下的负碳排放,是保障我国“双碳”目标实现的关键性技术之一。但是生物质流化床锅炉中突出的氧与燃料混合不均匀的问题以及富氧燃烧过高的能耗限制了该技术的进一步发展。载氧体辅助燃烧技术可以提高流化床锅炉内氧气时空分布的均匀性,进而提高燃烧稳定性和燃烧效率。将载氧体辅助燃烧技术与生物质流化床富氧燃烧相结合,形成的载氧体辅助生物质流化床富氧燃烧技术有望提高富氧燃烧效率、稳定性和氧气利用率,降低制氧能耗,促进该技术的进一步发展。但是目前关于载氧体辅助富氧燃烧技术的研究多采用监测炉膛出口烟气的方法,针对炉内固体燃料在载氧体辅助富氧燃烧下的转化机理研究尚不充分。文章利用可视化流化床实验平台开展了单颗粒生物质和烟煤燃料在不同床料、不同气氛以及多种操作条件下的燃烧实验,研究颗粒燃烧行为的同时,通过两色测温监测了火焰和焦炭颗粒的燃烧温度,系统性地评估了活性床料对单颗粒生物质和烟煤燃料的干燥着火过程、挥发分析出与燃烧过程以及焦炭燃烧过程的影响。结果表明,由于生物质燃料颗粒自身Bi数较大,且脱挥发分过程始终处于床层表面,因此床料由石英砂变为钛铁矿对生物质颗粒的干燥着火和脱挥发分过程基本无影响,但会使烟煤的着火延迟时间减少,脱挥发分时间增加;相比于惰性床料,2种燃料焦炭颗粒峰值温度在载氧体床料条件下提高了30 K左右,而燃烬时间随着燃料种类的变化而表现出不同的规律。

     

    Abstract: Biomass oxy-fuel combustion in fluidized bed can achieve negative carbon emissions over the entire lifecycle, making it one of the key technologies to ensure the achievement of China’s “dual carbon goals”. However, the prominent issue of uneven mixing of oxygen and fuel in biomass fluidized bed boilers, along with the high energy consumption of oxy-fuel combustion, has limited the further development of this technology. The oxygen carrier aided combustion technology can improve the spatial and temporal distribution uniformity of oxygen in the fluidized bed, thereby enhancing combustion stability and efficiency. The combination of oxygen carrier aided combustion technology with biomass oxy-fuel combustion in fluidized bed−oxygen carrier aided biomass oxy-fuel combustion—has the potential to improve oxy-fuel combustion efficiency and oxygen utilization while reducing the energy consumption of oxy-fuel combustion, and promotes the further development of this technology. However, research on the conversion mechanism of solid fuels at the conditions of oxygen carrier aided oxy-fuel combustion is still insufficient. Using a visualized fluidized bed experimental setup, combustion experiments of single biomass and bituminous fuel particle were conducted at different bed materials, atmospheres and various operating conditions. While observing the particle combustion behavior, the temperature of the flame and char particles was monitored using two-color pyrometry. The effects of active bed materials on the ignition process, volatile release and combustion process, and char combustion process of biomass and bituminous fuel particle were systematically evaluated. The results show that compared to inert bed materials, oxygen carriers have little effect on the ignition and devolatilization processes of biomass particles, due to the relatively large Biot number of biomass particles and the fact that the devolatilization process always occurs on the bed surface. But it reduces the ignition delay time and increases the devolatilization time for bituminous coal. The peak temperature of char particles increased by about 30 K when the bed material is active, while the burnout time exhibited different patterns depending on the type of fuel.
