BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.

And equipment.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has been desired to incinerate a large amount of waste such as municipal waste and waste plastic to reduce the amount thereof, and to effectively utilize the incineration heat. Since the incinerated ash of waste usually contains harmful heavy metals, in order to treat the incinerated ash by landfill, it is necessary to take measures such as solidifying the heavy metal components. In order to cope with these problems, a method for burning solid matter and a device therefor have been proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-35004. In the combustion method of this publication, the solid material is pyrolyzed in the fluidized bed pyrolysis furnace, and the pyrolysis products, that is, combustible gas and particles, are introduced into the cyclone combustion furnace. In the cyclone combustion furnace, the combustibles are burned under high load by the pressurized air, and the swirling flow causes the ash to collide with the wall surface, melt and flow down the wall surface, become molten slag, and fall into the water chamber from the outlet and solidify. .

In the method of Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-35004, since the entire fluidized bed is in an active fluidized state, there is a large amount of unreacted combustibles that are entrained in the produced gas and scattered outside the furnace, resulting in high gasification. There were some disadvantages such as inefficiency. Further, conventionally, as a gasification raw material that can be used in a fluidized bed furnace,
In the case of coal or the like, it has been regarded as pulverized coal having a particle size of 0.5 to 3 mm, and in the case of waste, it has been crushed to several tens of mm. If it is larger than this, fluidization is hindered, and if it is smaller than this, it is not completely gasified but is entrained in the produced gas as unreacted combustibles and scattered outside the furnace. Therefore, in the conventional fluidized bed furnace, it is indispensable to crush and size the particles beforehand by using a pulverizer or the like as a pretreatment before introducing the gasification raw material into the furnace, and the particle size does not fall within the predetermined particle size range. The gasification raw material was not available, and the yield had to be sacrificed to some extent.

In order to solve the above problems, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-1
A fluidized bed gasification method and a fluidized bed gasification furnace of Japanese Patent No. 47692 have been proposed. In the fluidized bed gasification method of this publication, the horizontal cross section of the furnace is rectangular, and the mass velocity of the fluidizing gas ejected upward from the central portion of the furnace bottom is 2
The mass velocity of the fluidizing gas supplied from one side edge is made smaller, and the upward flow of the fluidizing gas is diverted to the central part of the furnace above the side edge of the bottom of the furnace, and the fluidized medium is settled in the central part of the furnace. A bed is formed, a fluidized bed in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized is formed on both side edges of the furnace, and combustibles are supplied to the moving bed. The fluidizing gas is a mixture of air and steam or a mixture of oxygen and steam, and the fluidizing medium is silica sand.

However, this Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-14769
The method of Japanese Patent No. 2 has the following disadvantages. That is, (1) In the entire moving bed and fluidized bed, a gasification endothermic reaction and a combustion reaction occur at the same time, and volatile components that are easily gasified are gasified and burned at the same time, and fixed carbon (char) and tar components that are difficult to gasify. Etc. are entrained in the produced gas as unreacted substances and scattered outside the furnace, and high gasification efficiency cannot be obtained. (2) When the produced gas is burned and used in a steam and gas turbine combined cycle power plant, the fluidized bed furnace needs to be a pressure type, but since the horizontal cross section of the furnace is rectangular, it may be a pressure type. Have difficulty. The preferred internal pressure of the gasifier is determined by the use of the produced gas. When used as a general combustion gas, it may be about several thousand mmAq, but when used as a gas turbine fuel, several kgf / cm ² or more is required. When it is used as a fuel, it is suitable that it is a dozen or more kgf / cm ² or more.

Regarding the waste treatment of municipal wastes, the reduction of the amount of combustible wastes by combustion still plays an important role, and in addition to this, in recent years, countermeasures against dioxin, detoxification of dust and energy recovery There is an increasing need for environmentally friendly waste treatment technologies such as improved efficiency. The amount of municipal waste incinerated in Japan is about 100,000 tons / day, and the energy of the entire amount of municipal waste corresponds to about 4% of the power consumption of Japan. At present, the energy utilization rate of municipal solid waste is only about 10%, but if the utilization rate can be increased, the consumption of fossil fuels will be reduced and it will contribute to the prevention of global warming.

However, current incineration systems include the following problems. That is, there is a problem of corrosion due to HCl, and power generation efficiency cannot be increased. HCl, NOx,
Pollution control equipment for SOx, mercury, dioxins, etc. has become complicated and cost and space have increased. The installation of melting equipment for incineration ash is increasing due to the tightening of legal regulations and the difficulty of landfill at the final disposal site. Therefore, it is necessary to construct another equipment and consume a large amount of electricity. Expensive equipment is required to remove dioxins.
It is difficult to recover valuable metals.

[0026]

In the gasifier of the present invention, the heat is diffused by the circulating flow of the fluidized bed furnace, so that the load can be increased and the furnace can be downsized. In the present invention, since the fluidized bed furnace can maintain combustion with a small amount of air, the fluidized bed furnace is made to have a low air ratio and low temperature (450 to 650 ° C.), the heat generation is minimized, and the combustion is gently performed. A homogeneous product gas containing a large amount of combustible components can be obtained, and most of the combustible components of gas, tar, and char can be used in the next-stage melting and combustion furnace. In the present invention, large incombustibles can be easily discharged by the circulating flow of the fluidized bed furnace. In addition, iron and aluminum contained in non-combustible materials can be used as unoxidized valuable materials. In the method or apparatus of the present invention, since the horizontal cross section of the fluidized bed furnace is made substantially circular, the furnace has a pressure resistant structure, the fluidized bed furnace is in a pressurized state of atmospheric pressure or higher, and the combustible material supplied into the furnace. It is easy to increase the pressure of the combustible gas generated from the high pressure. High-pressure combustible gas can be used as fuel for gas turbines and boiler / gas turbine combined plants that can operate with high efficiency. Therefore, by using combustible gas in such a plant, energy from combustible materials can be used. Collection efficiency can be improved. In the method or apparatus of the present invention, in the case of mainly treating dust, in order to prevent odor and harmful combustion gas from leaking from the fluidized bed furnace, it is preferable that the pressure in the furnace is atmospheric pressure or less, but in this case Also, since the horizontal section of the fluidized bed furnace is circular, the furnace wall can easily withstand external pressure.

In the present invention, the mass velocity of the central fluidizing gas supplied to the fluidized bed furnace is made smaller than the mass velocity of the peripheral fluidizing gas, and the upward flow of the fluidizing gas above the peripheral portion inside the furnace is the furnace. Of the fluidized medium is formed in the central part of the furnace, and a fluidized bed in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized is formed in the peripheral part of the furnace. To be done. The combustibles fed into the furnace are gasified into combustible gases while circulating with the fluid medium, from the bottom of the moving bed to the fluidized bed and from the top of the fluidized bed to the moving bed. The combustibles are first gasified in the moving bed in the center of the furnace, where the volatiles are mainly due to the heat of the fluid medium (typically silica sand). And, since the oxygen content of the central fluidizing gas forming the moving bed is small, the combustible gas generated in the moving bed is hardly burned and is raised to the freeboard together with the central fluidizing gas, and the calorific value is high. It becomes a good quality product gas.

The combustibles that have lost volatile components and are heated in the moving bed, that is, fixed carbon (char) and tar components, are then circulated into the fluidized bed and have a relatively high oxygen content in the fluidized bed. It is contacted with the surrounding fluidizing gas and burned to generate combustion heat which changes into combustion gas and ash and maintains the temperature in the furnace at 450 to 650 ° C. The fluidized medium is heated by this combustion heat, and the heated fluidized medium is turned to the central part of the furnace above the peripheral part of the furnace and descends in the moving bed to change the temperature in the moving bed to the temperature required for gasification of volatile matter. To maintain. Since the central part of the furnace into which the combustibles are charged is in a low oxygen state, it is possible to generate a product gas having a high combustible content. Further, the metal in the combustible material can be recovered from the non-combustible material outlet as unoxidized valuable material.

In the present invention, when the gas and ash and other fine particles produced in the fluidized bed furnace are combusted in the melting combustion furnace, the produced gas contains a high combustible content, so that heating fuel is not required. 1300 ℃ in the melting furnace
The above high temperature can be achieved, and the ash content can be sufficiently melted in the melting furnace. The melted ash can be easily taken out from the melting furnace and solidified by a known method such as water cooling. Therefore, the volume of ash is significantly reduced, and the harmful metals in the ash are solidified so that the ash is in a landfillable form. Other operations of the present invention will be apparent from the claims and the description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic vertical sectional view of a main part of the gasifier of the first embodiment for carrying out the gasification method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic horizontal view of the gasifier of FIG. FIG.
In the gasifier shown in FIG. 1, the fluidizing gas supplied into the fluidized bed furnace 2 via the fluidizing gas dispersion mechanism 106 arranged at the bottom of the furnace flows upward from the vicinity of the central portion 4 of the bottom of the furnace into the furnace. Fluidized gas 7 and the furnace bottom peripheral part 3 supplied as
Fluidized gas 8 supplied from the above into the furnace as an upward flow

Is one. The oxygen content of the central fluidizing gas is not more than the oxygen content of the peripheral fluidizing gas. The amount of air in the entire fluidized gas is 30 times the theoretical amount of combustion air required to burn the combustible material 11.
%, And the inside of the furnace is in a reducing atmosphere.

The mass velocity of the central fluidizing gas 7 is made smaller than the mass velocity of the peripheral fluidizing gas 8 so that the upward flow of the fluidizing gas above the peripheral portion inside the furnace is directed to the central portion of the furnace by the deflector 6. Converted. As a result, a moving bed 9 in which the fluidized medium (generally silica sand is used) is settled and diffused is formed in the central part of the furnace, and a fluidized bed 10 in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized is formed in the inner peripheral part of the furnace. To be done. The fluidized medium rises in the fluidized bed 10 around the furnace as shown by an arrow 118, is then deflected by the deflector 6, flows in above the moving bed 9, descends in the moving bed 9, and then the arrow. As indicated by 112, the gas moves along the gas dispersion mechanism 106 and flows into the lower part of the fluidized bed 10 to circulate in the fluidized bed 10 and the moving bed 9 as indicated by arrows 118 and 112.

Be converted. Since the moving bed 9 has little or no oxygen, the produced gas composed of gasified volatile matter is not burned and passes through the moving bed 9 as indicated by an arrow 116. The moving bed 9 therefore forms a gasification zone G.
The generated gas moved to the freeboard 102 is indicated by the arrow 120.
As shown in FIG.

The char (fixed carbon content) and tar 114, which are not gasified in the moving bed 9, mainly flow from the lower part of the moving bed 9 to the lower part of the fluidized bed 10 in the periphery of the furnace together with the fluidized medium as indicated by arrow 112. It moves, is burned by the peripheral fluidized gas 8 having a relatively high oxygen content, and is partially oxidized. The fluidized bed 10 forms an oxidation zone S of combustibles. In the fluidized bed 10, the fluidized medium is heated to a high temperature by the heat of combustion in the fluidized bed. The flow medium that has reached a high temperature is indicated by the arrow 1
As shown at 18, it is inverted by the slanted wall 6 and the moving layer 9
Then, it becomes a heat source for gasification again. The temperature of the fluidized bed 10 is maintained at 450 to 650 ° C. so that the suppressed combustion reaction continues.

According to the gasification furnace 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
Since the gasification zone G and the oxidation zone S are formed in the fluidized bed furnace 2 and the fluidized medium serves as a heat transfer medium in both zones, a high-quality combustible gas having a high calorific value is generated and oxidized. In the zone S, char and tar 114 that are difficult to gasify can be efficiently burned. Therefore, it is possible to improve the gasification efficiency of the combustible material and generate a good quality combustible gas.

In the horizontal section of the fluidized bed furnace 2 shown in FIG. 2, the moving bed 9 forming the gasification zone G is circular in the center of the furnace and the fluidized bed 1 forming the oxidation zone S is formed.

By making the gasification furnace 1 cylindrical, a high furnace pressure can be easily supported. Instead of the structure in which the pressure inside the furnace is received by the gasification furnace itself, a separate pressure vessel (not shown) can be provided outside the gasification furnace.

It contains an intermediate fluidizing gas 7'supplied from the inside into the furnace. The mass velocity of the intermediate fluidizing gas 7'is selected between the mass velocity of the central fluidizing gas 7 and the mass velocity of the peripheral fluidizing gas 8. The intermediate fluidizing gas is any one of three kinds of gas, steam, a mixed gas of steam and air, or air.

In the gasifier of FIG. 3, as in the case of the gasifier of FIG. 1, the central fluidizing gas 7 is one of the three gases of steam, a mixed gas of steam and air, and air.
The peripheral fluidizing gas 8 is one of three kinds of gases, oxygen, a mixed gas of oxygen and air, and air. The oxygen content of the intermediate fluidizing gas is selected between the oxygen content of the central fluidizing gas and the oxygen content of the peripheral fluidizing gas. Therefore, there are 15 combinations of fluidizing gas in Table 2. In each combination, it is important that the oxygen supply amount increases as the fluidized bed furnace expands from the central portion to the peripheral portion. The amount of air in the entire fluidized gas is
Is set to 30% or less of the theoretical combustion air amount required for combustion, and the furnace has a reducing atmosphere.

Mainly char and tar which are not gasified in the intermediate layer 9 ′ move into the fluidized bed 10 around the furnace together with the fluidized medium and are burned in the peripheral fluidized gas 8 having a relatively high oxygen content. The fluidized medium is heated in the fluidized bed 10 and circulates to the moving bed 9 to heat the combustibles in the moving bed 9. Regarding the oxygen concentration in the intermediate layer, depending on the type of combustibles (whether there is a large amount of volatile matter, char, or tar), etc., lower the oxygen concentration to focus on gasification or increase the oxygen concentration. It is selected whether oxidative combustion is the main component.

In the horizontal section of the fluidized bed furnace shown in FIG. 4, the moving bed 9 forming the gasification zone is circular at the center of the furnace and is formed by the intermediate fluidized gas 7'along its outer periphery.
