Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for reducing pollutant emissions, in particular for desulfurization, in the combustion of coal, in particular hard coal, which as a coal / water suspension over long distances in a pipeline to a combustion system, e.g. to a power plant that was transported.
- WO 83/00 500 discloses a coal fuel in the form of a highly concentrated coal / water suspension (60-80% by weight of coal) which is directly suitable for firing in the burners of a furnace.
- a suspension is pumpable, but its high viscosity is a technical obstacle to long-distance transportation in a pipeline. This problem is not dealt with in the cited document.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method which, with as little effort as possible, leads to a reduction in pollutant emissions during the combustion of sulfur-containing coal, in particular hard coal, which is transported in the form of a coal / water suspension in a pipeline to the furnace.
- coal is fed to the burner of the firing system in the form of a coal / water suspension with at least 55% by weight of coal content
- this suspension can be burned immediately without the need for prior separation of the water content.
- the water content in turn leads to a significant reduction in the peak temperatures during combustion compared to dry coal dust combustion. This significantly limits the formation of nitrogen oxides.
- the lower combustion temperatures and the liquid-like atomization of the suspension create the prerequisite that oxidized sulfur can be chemically bound by the additives added to the suspension during the combustion, so that the SO 2 content remaining in the flue gas is decisively reduced.
- limestone which has advantageously been milled to a grain size of less than 90 ⁇ m, or calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2 ) can be added as additives.
- Calcium salts are also used with particular advantage as additives, in particular those which lead to a reduction in the viscosity of the coal suspension (e.g. calcium lignin sulfate) or which reduce corrosion in steel pipelines.
- these additives are not only effective in terms of pollutant emissions during combustion, but also have advantages for pipeline transport. This presupposes that they are added at least during the pipeline transport, but advantageously before the transport. In the latter case, this can e.g. happen during the grinding of the coal in the preparation of the suspension, in which case there is even no need for a special mixing unit. Of course, it is also possible to add the additive just before the burner.
- the degree of concentration of the suspension with at least 55% by weight of coal does not necessarily have to be so high during the pipeline transport; it is also possible to initially transport the coal in a coarser grain and with a lower degree of concentration and to provide additional preparation before combustion, the coal being ground more finely and part of the water being separated from the suspension.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verminderung der Schadstoffemission, insbesondere zur Entschwefelung, bei der Verbrennung von Kohle, insbesondere Steinkohle, die als Kohle/Wasser-Suspension über größere Entfernungen in einer Rohrleitung zu einer Feuerungsanlage, z.B. zu einem Kraftwerk, transportiert wurde.The invention relates to a method for reducing pollutant emissions, in particular for desulfurization, in the combustion of coal, in particular hard coal, which as a coal / water suspension over long distances in a pipeline to a combustion system, e.g. to a power plant that was transported.
Es ist bekannt, fein gemahlene Kohle in Form einer Kohle/Wasser-Suspension von einer Kohlelagerstätte über größere Entfernungen (z.B. 440 km) zu einem Kohleverbrauchszentrum zu transportieren. Vor der Verbrennung in Form von Kohlestaub in der Feuerungsanlage eines Kraftwerkes wird der Wasseranteil der Suspension unter erheblichem Aufwand weitestgehend abgetrennt (z.B. Fister: Coal Slurry Systems - a viabel transport alternative, CIM Bulletin, December 1982, Seite 71 - 76).It is known to transport finely ground coal in the form of a coal / water suspension from a coal deposit over long distances (e.g. 440 km) to a coal consumption center. Before combustion in the form of coal dust in the firing system of a power plant, the water content of the suspension is largely separated with considerable effort (e.g. Fister: Coal Slurry Systems - a viabel transport alternative, CIM Bulletin, December 1982, pages 71 - 76).
Weiterhin ist z.B. aus WO 83/00 500 ein Kohlebrennstoff in Form einer hochkonzentrierten Kohle/Wasser-Suspension (60 - 80 Gew.-% Kohleanteil) bekannt, die sich unmittelbar zur Verfeuerung in den Brennern einer Feuerungsanlage eignet. Eine solche Suspension ist zwar pumpfähig, ihre hohe Viskosität ist jedoch ein technisches Hindernis für den Ferntransport in einer Rohrleitung. Dieses Problem wird in der genannten Schrift nicht näher behandelt.Furthermore, e.g. WO 83/00 500 discloses a coal fuel in the form of a highly concentrated coal / water suspension (60-80% by weight of coal) which is directly suitable for firing in the burners of a furnace. Such a suspension is pumpable, but its high viscosity is a technical obstacle to long-distance transportation in a pipeline. This problem is not dealt with in the cited document.
Schließlich sind zur Verminderung der bei der Verbrennung von Kohle entstehenden Schadstoffemission zahlreiche Verfahren und Vorrichtungen bekannt. In erster Linie richten sich die Bemühungen auf eine Verminderung der Gehalte an SOJ und NOx. Die meisten Vorschläge beziehen sich auf eine Reinigung der Rauchgase nach der Verbrennung der Kohle. Es ist aber auch bekannt, Additive, die Schadstoffe wie z.B. Schwefel abbinden, bereits während der Verbrennung zuzuführen. Dies kann dadurch geschehen, daß die Additive dem Brennstoff unmittelbar zugegeben werden, wobei jedoch ein Anteil des zugegebenen Additivs durch die zu erwartenden hohen Verbrennungstemperaturen "totgebrannt" wird.Finally, numerous methods and devices are known for reducing the pollutant emissions resulting from the combustion of coal. Efforts are primarily aimed at reducing SO J and NO x levels. Most of the proposals relate to cleaning the flue gases after burning the coal. However, it is also known to add additives which bind pollutants such as sulfur as early as during the combustion. This can be done by adding the additives directly to the fuel, but a portion of the added additive is "burnt to death" by the high combustion temperatures to be expected.
Eine andere Möglichkeit der Additivzugabe zur Senkung der Schwefelemission wurde daher in der DE-OS 31 06 580 vorgeschlagen, bei der das Additiv mit Hilfe eines Trägermittelstromes unter Bildung eines die Brennerflamme umgebenden Schleiers dem Feuerraum zugegeben wird. In diesem Mischungsbereich Ist die Verbrennung bereits soweit fortgeschritten und die Flammentemeraturen bereits soweit abgesenkt, daß die Mischung des Additives mit den Rauchgasen in einem für die Reaktion optimalen Temperaturbereich ablaufen kann. Die Zugabe des Additives mittels eines Trägermediums erfordert jedoch einen erheblichen apparativen Aufwand. Ebenfalls wird über die Verbrennung von Kohle/Wasser-Suspensionen in dieser Schrift nichts ausgesagt.Another way of adding additives to reduce sulfur emissions was therefore proposed in DE-OS 31 06 580, in which the additive is added to the combustion chamber with the aid of a flow of carrier medium to form a veil surrounding the burner flame. In this mixing range, the combustion has already progressed so far and the flame temperature has been lowered that the mixing of the additive with the flue gases can take place in a temperature range that is optimal for the reaction. However, the addition of the additive by means of a carrier medium requires a considerable outlay on equipment. Nothing is said in this document either about the combustion of coal / water suspensions.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren anzugeben, das bei möglichst geringem Aufwand zu einer Verminderung der Schadstoffemission bei der Verbrennung schwefelhaltiger Kohle, insbesondere Steinkohle, führt, die in Form einer Kohle/Wasser-Suspension in einer Rohrleitung zur Feuerungsanlage transportiert wird.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method which, with as little effort as possible, leads to a reduction in pollutant emissions during the combustion of sulfur-containing coal, in particular hard coal, which is transported in the form of a coal / water suspension in a pipeline to the furnace.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 - 10 angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous further developments of the invention are specified in subclaims 2-10.
Dadurch, daß die Kohle dem Brenner der Feuerungsanlage in Form einer Kohle/Wasser-Suspension mit mindestens 55 Gew.-% Kohleanteil zugeführt wird, wird erreicht, daß diese Suspension unmittelbar verbrannt werden kann onne die Notwendigkeit einer vorhergehenden Abscheidung des Wasseranteils. Der Wassergehalt seinerseits führt zu einer deutlichen Verminderung der bei der Verbrennung entstehenden Spitzentemperaturen gegenüber einer trockenen Kohlestaubfeuerung. Hierdurch wird die Entstehung von Stickoxiden wesentlich eingeschränkt. Weiterhin wird durch die abgesenkten Verbrennungstemperaturen und die flüssigkeitsähnliche Zerstäubung der Suspension die Voraussetzung geschaffen, daß während der Verbrennung oxidierter Schwefel durch die der Suspension zugegebenen Additive chemisch gebunden werden kann, so daß der im Rauchgas noch verbleibende Gehalt an SO2 entscheidend vermindert wird.The fact that the coal is fed to the burner of the firing system in the form of a coal / water suspension with at least 55% by weight of coal content means that this suspension can be burned immediately without the need for prior separation of the water content. The water content in turn leads to a significant reduction in the peak temperatures during combustion compared to dry coal dust combustion. This significantly limits the formation of nitrogen oxides. Furthermore, the lower combustion temperatures and the liquid-like atomization of the suspension create the prerequisite that oxidized sulfur can be chemically bound by the additives added to the suspension during the combustion, so that the SO 2 content remaining in the flue gas is decisively reduced.
Als Additive können in Weiterbildung der Erfindung Kalkstein (CaC03), welcher vorteilhaft auf eine Korngröße unter 90 um vermahlen worden ist, oder auch Calciumhydroxid (Ca(OH)2) zugesetzt werden.In a further development of the invention, limestone (CaC0 3 ), which has advantageously been milled to a grain size of less than 90 μm, or calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2 ) can be added as additives.
Mit besonderem Vorteil werden als Additive auch Calcium-Salze verwendet und zwar insbesondere solche, die zu einer Verminderung der Viskosität der Kohlesuspension führen (z.B. Calcium-Lignin-Sulfat) oder die die Korrosion in Stahlrohrleitungen vermindern. Das bedeutet, daß diese Additive nicht nur bei der Verbrennung in Bezug auf die Schadstoffemission wirksam werden, sondern bereits für den Rohrleitungstransport Vorteile mit sich bringen. Dies setzt voraus, daß sie zumindest während des Rohrleitungstransports, vorteilhaft jedoch bereits vor dem Transport zugesetzt werden. In letzterem Fall kann dies z.B. während der Vermahlung der Kohle bei der Vorbereitung der Suspension geschehen, wobei sich dann sogar ein besonderes Mischaggregat erübrigt. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das Additiv erst kurz vor dem Brenner zuzusetzen. Der Konzentrationsgrad der Suspension mit mindestens 55 Gew.-% Kohleanteil muß nicht unbedingt während des Rohrleitungstransports schon so hoch sein; es ist auch möglich, die Kohle zunächst grobkörniger und mit geringerem Konzentrationsgrad zu transportieren und eine zusätzliche Aufbereitung vor der Verbrennung vorzusehen, wobei die Kohle feiner aufgemahlen wird und ein Teil des Wassers aus der Suspension abgetrennt wird.Calcium salts are also used with particular advantage as additives, in particular those which lead to a reduction in the viscosity of the coal suspension (e.g. calcium lignin sulfate) or which reduce corrosion in steel pipelines. This means that these additives are not only effective in terms of pollutant emissions during combustion, but also have advantages for pipeline transport. This presupposes that they are added at least during the pipeline transport, but advantageously before the transport. In the latter case, this can e.g. happen during the grinding of the coal in the preparation of the suspension, in which case there is even no need for a special mixing unit. Of course, it is also possible to add the additive just before the burner. The degree of concentration of the suspension with at least 55% by weight of coal does not necessarily have to be so high during the pipeline transport; it is also possible to initially transport the coal in a coarser grain and with a lower degree of concentration and to provide additional preparation before combustion, the coal being ground more finely and part of the water being separated from the suspension.
Um die verschiedenen Vorteile einzelner schwefelbindender Substanzen in Kombination nutzen zu können, werden als Additiv entsprechende Mischungen dieser Substanzen der Suspension zugesetzt. Schließlich ist noch darauf hinzuweisen, daß es für eine effektive Schadstoffminimierung in vielen Fällen vorteilhaft ist, das Additiv in einer doppelt so großen Menge zuzusetzen, wie rein stöchiometrisch zur vollständigen Abbindung des Schwefelgehaltes erforderlich wäre. Die Qualität, bzw. die Deponiefähigkeit der beim Verbrennungsprozeß erzeugten Asche ist durch den Additivzusatz nicht beeinträchtigt.In order to be able to use the various advantages of individual sulfur-binding substances in combination, appropriate mixtures of these substances are added to the suspension as an additive. Finally, it should also be pointed out that for effective pollutant minimization it is advantageous in many cases to add the additive in an amount twice as high as would be required purely stoichiometrically for the complete setting of the sulfur content. The additive additive does not impair the quality or the landfill capability of the ashes produced during the combustion process.
