This application claims priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. 202310992910.1, titled “BIOMASS GASIFICATION AND WASTE INCINERATION INTEGRATED FURNACE”, filed on Aug. 8, 2023 with the China National Intellectual Property Administration, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present application relates to the technical field of biomass gasification and waste incineration, and in particular to a biomass gasification and waste incineration integrated furnace.
Biomass gasification technology is an environmentally friendly, energy-saving and renewable technology, which transforms biomass materials such as wood, straw and grass into combustible gas and solid by-products (biomass carbon and the like) under a condition of high temperature, high pressure, no oxygen or low oxygen. As an endothermic reaction, a biomass gasification process can be divided into two following process routes according to different heating modes.
Waste incineration is a method to dispose municipal solid waste. By burning the solid waste at high temperature, the waste is converted into heat energy, while volume and negative impact of the waste can be reduced. However, the flue gas produced in the process of the waste incineration contains many harmful substances, including dioxins, heavy metals and other pollutants. Dioxin is highly oncogenic, which can do serious harm to human body and environment. Heavy metals such as mercury and plumbum are also toxic substances, which pose potential risks to the ecosystem and human health. In order to reduce the impact of these harmful substances on the environment and human health, appropriate measures must be taken to deal with them.
Activated carbon absorption technology is a commonly used treatment method. By injecting the activated carbon into the flue gas, emission of the pollutants can be reduced by utilizing the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon to the pollutants. The activated carbon has a structure of large pores and a high specific surface area, which can adsorb harmful substances such as organic substances, gaseous pollutants and heavy metals in the flue gas, thus reducing the release of the harmful substances into atmosphere. However, this technology also brings some problems. First of all, the activated carbon itself is an adsorbent which is continuously consumed based on the amount of the flue gas, thus increasing the operating cost. Secondly, problems such as saturation and condensation of the adsorbent may occur in the process of the activated carbon absorption, which may affect the stability and operation effect of the process.
In summary, the activated carbon absorption technology being used in the waste incineration process aims to reduce the emission of dioxins, heavy metals and other pollutants and protect the environment and human health. However, the use of this technology also faces some challenges, and it is necessary to comprehensively consider the operating cost, process stability and treatment effect in order to achieve environmentally friendly waste incineration.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand technical solutions of the present application, the biomass gasification and waste incineration integrated furnace according to the present application is further described in detail in conjunction with drawings and specific embodiments.
With reference to
A mutual contact region exists between the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 and the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3. A mutual contact part of the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 and the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 is not provided with a heat insulation layer and may be made of heat conducting materials. The heat generated by the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 is used for being conducted to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 for reactions therein.
The waste incineration reaction occurs inside the waste incineration furnace chamber 1, and the heat generated by the waste incineration is directly transferred to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 through heat conduction. The gasification reaction of biomass materials occurs in the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3, and gas (such as biomass gas, including but not limited to hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide) and biomass carbon (such as activated carbon) are formed after the gasification reaction. The gasification reaction needs the heat supplied from outside. The heat generated by the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 is directly transferred to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3, which can be used for the gasification reaction inside the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3.
According to the present application, the heat is supplied to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 through the heat conduction between the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 and the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3, so that the additional heat used by the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 can be reduced, or the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 does not need additional heat from the outside at all. Therefore, the heat generated by the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 can be effectively utilized, and energy consumption can be saved.
On the basis of the above solution, the biomass gasification and waste incineration integrated furnace according to the present application further includes a waste heat boiler superheater 4, a biomass carbon reaction tower 5 and a flue gas dust remover 6. The waste heat boiler superheater 4, the biomass carbon reaction tower 5 and the flue gas dust remover 6 are sequentially arranged in a flow direction of the flue gas. The waste heat boiler superheater 4 is arranged inside the waste incineration furnace chamber 1. The waste incineration furnace chamber 1, the biomass carbon reaction tower 5, and the flue gas dust remover 6 are sequentially communicated for the flue gas to pass through.
The waste heat boiler superheater 4 is configured to generate steam. The activated carbon is filled in the biomass carbon reaction tower 5, so as to capture harmful substances such as heavy metals and dioxins in the flue gas when the flue gas flows through the biomass carbon reaction tower 5. The flue gas in which the harmful substances such as heavy metals and dioxins have been captured is collected by the flue gas dust remover 6.
The waste incineration furnace chamber 1 is provided with a waste feeding port 11 for supplying waste materials, and the waste materials are inputted into the waste incineration furnace chamber 1 through the waste feeding port 11. The biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 is provided with a biomass feeding port 31 for supplying biomass materials, a biomass gas outlet 32 for discharging generated gas, a biomass carbon outlet 33 for discharging generated activated carbon, and a steam inlet 34 for inputting steam. The biomass materials enter the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 through the biomass feeding port 31, the gas generated by the gasification reaction is discharged through the biomass gas outlet 32, and the biomass carbon generated by the gasification reaction is discharged through the biomass carbon outlet 33. At the same time, the steam from outside enters the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 through the steam inlet 34, and the steam serves as gasification medium for the gasification reaction in the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3.
With reference to
It should be noted that the flue gas discharged from the flue gas outlet 61 may directly flow to the next process or flow into the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 again, and the heat carried by the flue gas may re-enter the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3, which facilitates the heating treatment of the gasification reaction. These specific implementations should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
The steam outlet 41 of the waste heat boiler superheater 4 is connected with the steam inlet 34, so that the steam generated by the waste heat boiler superheater 4 flows to the steam inlet 34 through the steam outlet 41, and the steam is supplied to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 as the gasification medium for the gasification reaction in the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3.
That is to say, the biomass gasification and waste incineration integrated furnace according to the present application not only supplies heat to the biomass gasification reaction through the waste incineration reaction, but also supplies activated carbon to the waste incineration reaction through the biomass gasification reaction and uses activated carbon to adsorb the flue gas, so that the activated carbon additionally supplied from the outside is no more needed, or the amount of the activated carbon additionally supplied from the outside is reduced.
With reference to
A ratio of an amount of circulating ash of the circulating ash outlet 62 to an amount of discharged ash of the ash discharging port 63 is proportional to a burnout rate of ash. The ratio of the amount of circulating ash of the circulating ash outlet 62 to the amount of discharged ash of the ash discharging port 63 is proportional to an injection amount of the biomass carbon. The ratio of the amount of circulating ash to the amount of discharged ash of the ash discharging port 63 is controlled to be between 0.5 and 1.5 during operation.

A flow temperature control baffle 2 may be arranged in the parallel passages 1.21 and/or the temperature control passage 1.22, that is, the flow temperature control baffle 2 may be arranged in the parallel passages 1.21 or the temperature control passage 1.22 separately, or the flow temperature control baffle 2 may be arranged in both the parallel passages 1.21 and the temperature control passage 1.22. The flow temperature control baffle 2 is configured to regulate a flue gas flow ratio between the parallel passages 1.21 and the temperature control passage 1.22. Opening of the flow temperature control baffle 2 can be regulated, thus changing the flue gas flow of the parallel passages 1.21 or the temperature control passage 1.22. If the temperature of the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 needs to be raised, the proportion of flue gas in the parallel passages 1.21 is increased, and the proportion of the flue gas in the temperature control passage 1.22 is decreased, so that more flue gas flows through the parallel passages 1.21, allowing more heat being guided to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 and the temperature of the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 being raised. If the temperature of the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 needs to be lowered, the proportion of flue gas in the parallel passages 1.21 is decreased, and the proportion of the flue gas in the temperature control passage 1.22 is increased, so that less flue gas flows through the parallel passages 1.21, allowing less heat being guided to the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 and the temperature of the biomass gasification furnace chamber 3 being lowered.
