It is useful adding negative catalyst in said reactor again.The purpose of said negative catalyst is to relax the effect of temperature to reactor, and the reactant of preparation synthetic gas and/or the thermo-negative reaction between product and the said negative catalyst are guaranteed this mitigate effects.The negative catalyst that is suitable for is water vapor and carbonic acid gas.
Said pneumatolysis is preferably in 1200~1700 ℃ of temperature ranges and in 1~200 bar pressure scope carries out.
The reactor that the preparation synthetic gas is used can have any suitable shape.
Supply with solid carbon fuel and the oxygen-containing gas of fully pulverizing to reactor, can carry out, will not describe in detail about this point according to any this purpose mode that is suitable for.
After the liquid slag that forms in the partial combustion reaction drips, discharge by the outlet that is located at reactor bottom.
Carry out in the partial oxidation process at the solid carbon fuel to abundant pulverizing, when for example coal gasification was reacted, said fuel was infeeded in the gasifier by feed device by means of suitable carrier band fluid.
This hot product gas contains some tackiness particles usually, its tackiness of this particle looses during cooling.
These tackiness particles in the hot product gas can produce some problems in the equipment of further handling said product gas, because the undesirable settling that occurs in for example wall, valve or outlet can have a negative impact to this technology.And such settling is difficult to remove.These adhesive granular deposits may partly or entirely be in molten state, and wherein may comprise metal, salt or ash, and generally are being lower than these particle looses tackinesss under about 800 ℃ of temperature.
Therefore, above the outlet of reactor head product, quench section is set, makes hot product gas quenching therein.For example feeding in this quench section, suitable quenching medium processing product gas such as water or gas makes it cooling.
People know, in partial oxidation technology, some tangential flame burners have been adopted to the solid carbon fuel of abundant pulverizing, promptly around the reactor vessel wall, on some spaced points of same level attitude a plurality of tangential orientation burners are set, make and produce eddy current in the reactor.
As if but those present reactor design still have some shortcomings: slagging efficient very little (40~50%) may produce the scum silica frost phenomenon at reactor exit, and may occur from the phenomenon that the hot synthesis gas short circuit that reactor comes out enters expander.
The object of the invention is to provide a kind of slagging efficient to reach 90~95% reactor design.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of scum silica frost effect and slag of preventing to drip the reactor design that the effect of carrying secretly takes place.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of synthetic gas that prevents that the reactor design of said short circuit effect takes place.
Therefore, the invention provides a kind of reactor that the solid carbon fuel and the oxygenant of abundant pulverizing are carried out the partial oxidation operation, said reactor comprises that has a product gas outlet at the top, slag notch is arranged at the bottom, the reactor vessel that most burner ports are arranged on sidewall, on all points of circumferentially-spaced, be provided with a plurality of tangential orientation burners with the angle that catches fire for a short time in same level attitude, said reactor is provided with expander above its outlet, wherein one is arranged between said reactor outlet and the expander inlet by the vapor pipe of predetermined length/diameter than design.
Term " angle catches fire " is defined as: the symmetry axis of said burner nozzle and by angle between the straight line of reactor center on said burner center and the same sea line.
Below, the present invention is being illustrated in greater detail with reference to following accompanying drawing by embodiment, wherein:
