In the above documents and other prior arts, coking is severe in the case of the carbonizing device after a certain period of use, which seriously affects the continuous operation of the equipment.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the inventor of the invention fully combines the carbonization process of the municipal solid waste and the principle of coking generation through deep and systematic research, carries out comprehensive research in the whole process of the waste treatment, provides the following technology, and effectively reduces the coking generation.
In one aspect of the invention, there is provided a heating apparatus for charring waste, the heating chamber of the heating apparatus being provided with at least one steam inlet in each of two opposite side walls.
Preferably, the steam inlet is slit-shaped.
Preferably, the length of the steam inlet (i.e. the slit length) is at least 1/3 of the heating chamber side wall height. This length ensures that the steam has a sufficiently large impingement purge range within the heating chamber.
More preferably, the steam inlets provided on the two sidewalls are oppositely disposed.
In production, it is found that when top-blown superheated steam is used, i.e. steam is introduced through the top of the heating chamber, after the heating device is used for a period of time, coking is easily generated in the heating chamber, especially on the inner wall of the top of the inner wall, and the coking can affect the extraction of product gas material flow and seriously affect the production. To this end, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies using a side-opposed slit-type steam inlet. When the superheated steam is fed through the steam inlets which are arranged oppositely, the opposite collision is generated, so that the lateral flow along the wall of the heating chamber is generated, the bio-oil substances can be effectively prevented from being accumulated on the upper wall in the heating chamber, and the generation of coking is effectively avoided.
The steam inlet is preferably provided with a gas flow distribution plate consisting of perforated plates.
In a preferred embodiment, the interior of the heating chamber is provided with a liner.
More preferably, the lining is of a four-layer structure, the lining closest to the outer shell of the heating chamber is taken as a first layer, the lining farthest from the outer shell of the heating chamber is taken as a fourth layer, and the first layer, the second layer, the third layer and the fourth layer are sequentially arranged from outside to inside, wherein the first layer is an alumina silicate fiber brick (the thickness of the alumina silicate fiber brick is preferably 5-50mm), the second layer is a general alumina refractory fiber felt (the thickness of the alumina refractory fiber felt is preferably 5-10mm), the third layer is a high alumina refractory fiber felt (the thickness of the alumina refractory fiber felt is preferably 5-10mm), and the fourth layer is a zirconium-containing refractory fiber felt (the thickness of the zirconium-.
The composite lining has a good heat preservation effect, can resist the impact of high-temperature hot steam, obviously reduces the heat dissipation loss and the exhaust loss, improves the effective heat load, improves the heat efficiency from 84.3 percent to 91.2 percent, and has a remarkable energy-saving effect. Moreover, the lining with the structure is not easy to fall off.
In another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of charring waste using the heating device described above, the method comprising passing a conveyor containing waste through a heating chamber of the heating device to obtain combustible and char material.
The temperature of the high-temperature oxygen-free steam in the heating chamber may be 300-600 ℃.
The garbage is preferably municipal domestic garbage.
In the process of the invention, a gas stream comprising bio-oil may be withdrawn from the top of the heating chamber.
More preferably, the method for carbonizing the garbage by using the heating device comprises the following steps: (1) loading the refuse into a refuse conveyor; (2) making the garbage conveying device pass through a high-temperature distillation carbonization device; (3) taking out a gas stream from the upper part of the high-temperature distillation carbonization device; (4) passing the gas stream in gaseous form through a catalyst bed; (5) condensing and separating the effluent from the catalyst bed to obtain liquid combustible and water; (6) obtaining the carbon substances from the garbage conveying device passing through the high-temperature distillation carbonization device.
The temperature of the high-temperature oxygen-free steam is preferably 300-. The pressure of the high-temperature oxygen-free steam is preferably 0.2-1.0 MPa.
Preferably, wherein the high temperature oxygen-free steam comprises nitrogen. More preferably, the nitrogen content is 10-80 v.%, more preferably 20-60 v.%.
In the present invention, it is preferred that the waste is not subjected to any pretreatment.
Compared with the simple dry distillation in the prior art, the nitrogen gas can prevent the garbage from burning in the carbonization process, so that the generated carbon has higher heat value. In addition, compared with pure steam gasification in the prior art, the existence of nitrogen can also increase the heating medium heat value, improve the heating efficiency and thus improve the carbonization efficiency, and can also save the steam consumption, and more importantly, through the addition of nitrogen, can provide the required catalytic conditions for the subsequent catalytic upgrading of distillate, such as adjusting the required steam partial pressure, because the excessive steam pressure can cause the catalytic upgrading to be difficult to be effectively carried out, and the addition of nitrogen can reduce the steam partial pressure in the gas stream, namely the distillate.
The inventor finds that in the existing garbage steam treatment technology, selective steam treatment conditions for garbage composition are often ignored, and the difference of the garbage composition is ignored, so that the garbage treatment efficiency is low. The inventor of the invention has conducted a great deal of research, and selects different steam treatment conditions according to different garbage compositions, thereby obtaining good steam treatment effect. In particular, the following conditions of the high-temperature distillation carbonization treatment are selected: (1) when the content of the organic substances in the garbage is more than or equal to 80 weight percent based on the total weight of the garbage, the temperature of the high-temperature oxygen-free steam is 300-450 ℃, and preferably 320-400 ℃; the nitrogen content in the high temperature oxygen-free steam is 10-30 v.%, preferably 10-20 v.%; the retention time in the high-temperature distillation carbonization device is 8-12 h; and (2) when the content of organic substances in the garbage composition is less than 80 wt% based on the total weight of the garbage, the temperature of the high-temperature oxygen-free steam is 450-600 ℃, preferably 500-550 ℃; the nitrogen content in the high temperature oxygen-free steam is 40-80 v.%, preferably 60-80 v.%; the retention time in the high-temperature distillation carbonization device is 5-8 h.
When the content of organic substances in the garbage is higher, the steam treatment condition is particularly favorable for generating liquid combustible substances; and when the content of the organic substances is lower, the production of the carbon substances is particularly favorable.
In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst in the catalyst bed is an inorganic oxide or silicate supported iron based catalyst, or a carbon supported iron based catalyst, or a mixture of both.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies to develop a catalyst which is effective in the hydro-upgrading of bio-oil in a gas stream withdrawn from the upper part of a high temperature distillation carbonization apparatus, and which may be a catalyst represented by the following formula: Ni-Cu-Pd-Co2O3-Fe2O3/SiO2Wherein the molar ratio of Ni, Cu, Pd, Co and Fe is (1-2): 5-10): 0.1-0.5): 1-2): 10-20, based on the total weight of the catalyst, Ni-Cu-Pd-Co2O3-Fe2O3The content of active ingredient is 1-8%, preferably 2-5%, more preferably 3%. SiO 22Is a carrier.
The composition of bio-oils is generally complex and can include mainly acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, phenols, furans, esters, ethers and small amounts of nitrogen-containing compounds as well as other multifunctional compounds. Because of the characteristics of poor thermal stability, strong acidity and corrosivity, high water content, low calorific value, difficulty in mutual solubility with petroleum-based products and the like, the bio-oil can only realize primary application, such as being used for thermodynamic equipment such as industrial kilns and oil-fired boilers and the like, cannot replace petroleum products to be directly applied to combustion of internal combustion engines or turbines, and cannot meet the modern high-grade industrial application. In order to improve the applicability of the bio-oil, the bio-oil needs to be converted into high-grade liquid fuel to meet the requirement of transportation fuel so as to realize replacement or partial replacement of petroleum products, and therefore the bio-oil needs to be modified and upgraded to convert chemical components of the bio-oil from hydrocarbon oxides into hydrocarbons. One of the keys to how to effectively upgrade bio-oil is the development of catalysts.
It was found that, in the above-mentioned catalyst of the present invention, Niδ+Mo more conventional thanδ+The catalyst has higher activity, the use of Ni can obtain C6-C12 hydrocarbon (preferably alkane) with high selectivity, the use of Cu can obtain C16 hydrocarbon (preferably alkane) with high selectivity, and the simultaneous use of Ni and Cu is surprisingly found to ensure that certain amount of C18 and C19 hydrocarbon can be obtained, and the use of Ni and Cu on the surface can enable C-O bond in the bio-oil to effectively generate hydrogenolysis reaction.
Unlike typical biomass oil upgrading, the gas stream of the present invention contains a higher proportion of steam and therefore places very high demands on the hydrothermal stability of the catalyst. Conventional catalysts used for biomass oil upgrading cannot be used for the upgrading of the gas stream of the present invention. The iron catalyst is a common catalyst for removing oxygen in plant-based materials, however, the iron catalyst fails when meeting water, while the palladium catalyst is effective when meeting water, but the oxygen removing effect is not good and expensive, and a very small amount of palladium is added into iron, so that a good synergistic effect can be obtained. The inventor researches and discovers that the addition of a small amount of palladium is helpful for covering the surface of iron in the catalyst with hydrogen, so that the reaction is accelerated, the water blocking reaction is prevented, the hydrogen consumption is low, the activity, the stability and the selectivity of the catalyst are far better than those of a single iron catalyst, and the catalytic life of the catalyst can be prolonged by more than 2 times.
The inventor of the invention also finds that the addition of Co is beneficial to reducing the grain size of the catalytic active component, is beneficial to the dispersion of the catalytic active component and reduces the aggregation, and has very positive significance for improving the activity, selectivity and stability of the catalytic active component. However, if the amount of Co is too large, Co covers the hydrogenation active centers Ni, Cu, etc., thereby reducing the activity of the catalyst.
The above-mentioned particularly preferred catalysts have not been reported in the prior literature, and it is specifically designed according to the specific composition characteristics of the gas stream and bio-oil recovered from the waste, and a good upgrading effect is achieved.
The catalyst can be prepared by adopting an impregnation calcining method which is conventional in the field. Specifically, a certain amount of precursor salt such as Ni (NO) is weighed according to the proportion3)2、Cu(NO3)2、Pd(NO3)2、Co(NO3)2、Fe(NO3)3(or their hydrate forms) and citric acid, adding deionized water to dissolve, stirring uniformly to prepare a solution with the concentration of 0.5-1.5mol/L, weighing a certain amount of silicon dioxide, putting the silicon dioxide into a reaction container, pouring the prepared solution into the reaction container, heating the solution in a constant-temperature heating oil bath device with a stirrer, stirring the solution at the temperature of 60-120 ℃ for 1H-10H, then putting the solution into a drying box to dry the solution at the temperature of 100-150 ℃ for 12H, then putting the obtained catalyst precursor into a muffle furnace to calcine the catalyst precursor for 1H-6H at the temperature of 500-800 ℃, and then calcining the catalyst precursor in H2Reducing and activating at 200-300 ℃ in the presence of the catalyst to prepare Ni-Cu-Pd-Co2O3-Fe2O3/SiO2A catalyst.
For the purposes of the present invention, the gas stream is preferably substantially free of dioxins. Because the temperature is raised and the distillation is carried out under the anaerobic condition, harmful substances such as dioxin and the like are not generated, and the atmospheric environment can be protected. This has a great advantage over the conventional incineration method.
Preferably, wherein the high temperature oxygen-free steam used in the high temperature distillation carbonization unit is from a high pressure once-through steam furnace.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a liquid combustible obtained according to the aforementioned process. Preferably, the oxygen content in the liquid combustible is less than 10 wt%, preferably less than 5 wt%, more preferably less than 2 wt%. Further, the liquid combustible has a higher calorific value of greater than 40 MJ/kg.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a carbonaceous material obtained by a process according to any one of the preceding claims.
Preferably, the carbonaceous material is coke. Preferably, the carbonaceous material is semicoke.
