Technical field
The present invention relates to reduce the technical field of boiler flyash carbon content, relate in particular to a kind of method that reduces the CFBB unburned carbon in flue dust.
Background technology
CFBB has the outstanding advantages such as fuel tolerance is wide, pollutant emission is low and is able to extensive use.But there are the higher problem of unburned carbon in flue dust in burning in circulating fluid bed boiler colm, especially low volatile colm, and unburned carbon in flue dust can reduce boiler efficiency up to 10%~25%, has increased energy loss, and have limited the comprehensive utilization of flying dust.
At present, for the high problem of CFB boiler flyash carbon content, more existing solutions, but referenced patent---difficult combustion fuel with flying dust at the bottom of raise burning in circulating fluid bed boiler method and device (number of patent application is 200310106047.8) and patent---convergent increaser and gray back pump and flyash reburning type CFBC equipment (number of patent application is 200710054674.X), the former burns cinder reinjection to the bottom of burner hearth emulsion zone, the latter is burnt cinder reinjection to the top of emulsion zone, two kinds of methods are all higher because of fluidising air velocity in the stove, be generally 5~7m/s, flying dust is in short reason of the time of staying in furnace high-temperature district, so that CFBB unburned carbon in flue dust reduction amplitude is very limited.
Summary of the invention
The CFBB unburned carbon in flue dust that the present invention is directed to burning inferior coal is higher, adopt existing fly ash refiring technology, flying dust is short in the time of staying in furnace high-temperature district, reduce the very limited defective of amplitude for unburned carbon in flue dust, propose a kind of method that reduces the CFBB unburned carbon in flue dust.
A kind of method that reduces the CFBB unburned carbon in flue dust of the present invention, when CFBB comprised burner hearth, cyclone separator, standpipe and feeding back device, described method step was as follows:
1) in riser upper screw(-type) feeder is installed, the place connects oxygen-enriched air generator in feeding back device bottom air inlet chamber;
2) when CFBB moves, screw(-type) feeder is sent the flying dust of collecting into riser upper, flying dust enters feeding back device through standpipe, the oxygen-enriched air generation oxygen-enriched combusting reaction that coke in feeding back device in the flying dust and oxygen-enriched air generator produce, in the reaction, by regulating the shared percent by volume control flying dust ignition temperature of oxygen in the oxygen-enriched air, after the reaction, flying dust and flue gas return burner hearth, enter the CFBB ash circulatory system, so repeatedly, so that the CFBB unburned carbon in flue dust significantly reduce.
The present invention compared with prior art, have the following advantages and the high-lighting effect: flying dust is in the high temperature ash circulatory system, can be heated rapidly to the coke ignition temperature, then running on lower fluidising air velocity, be generally 0.3~0.5m/s, be in the bed space of bubbling fluidization, coke in the flying dust and oxygen-enriched air generation combustion reaction, increased significantly combustion rate and the time of staying of coke in the flying dust, be conducive to the abundant burning of coke in the flying dust, after the burning, flying dust and flue gas return burner hearth, enter the CFBB ash circulatory system, so repeatedly, the phosphorus content of decrease flying dust is not affecting the crucial operational factor (temperature of CFBB simultaneously, fluidising air velocity) under the condition, realizes the purpose of control flying dust ignition temperature by the shared percent by volume of oxygen in the oxygen-enriched air of regulating the oxygen-enriched air generator generation.
