Description

Method and apparatus for treating laden hot gases

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the treatment of laden hot gas, preferably in connection with the production of CO and H ₂ -containing gases by partial oxidation of substantially dusty and / or liquid feedstocks, in particular ash-containing feedstocks in the air stream, wherein the laden hot gas, in particular containing slag and solid, is transferred from a reaction space into a connected cooling / quench tank, solid and gas are separated and gas is removed from the cooling / quench tank. The invention also relates to the use of the device according to the invention.

For the discharge of a hot laden with liquid slag gas from a reaction chamber in a refrigerating space underneath is proposed in DD 145860, DD 299 893, EP 127878 and DE 3151483 to introduce this laden gas stream via a cooled dip tube directly into a water bath. This operating principle has not been proven in practice, since only low trouble-free operating times are achieved and the repair and maintenance costs are considerable.

In the published patent applications DE 2556370 and DE 2660612 it is proposed to jet a hot gas stream by means of spray pipes. However, the application leads to Schlackeanbackungen and high thermal loads on the material and requires a very high technical and economic effort.

Furthermore, a method is known from DD 280975, in which, using spray quenching, cooling water is sprayed over successive nozzle rings with radial components into a gas jet and coaxial components to the gas jet in order to achieve saturation of the water vapor and washing out of solids. The with these devices / methods reached operating times of a few weeks and the required high cleaning costs do not meet the requirements for economic operation.

From the prior art is also known hot with liquid slag and solids laden gas streams after a partial direct cooling with recycled synthesis gas as described in EP 89 201 293.1 or by partial quenching from 1200 to 1900 ° C to a temperature level of 700 to 1100 ⁰ C, as proposed in DE 10 2005 042 640 A1, and then continue to cool indirectly with cooling registers to 150 to 400 ⁰ C with simultaneous steam generation. Although these methods can achieve high overall efficiencies at the beginning of the operating time, in addition to high investment costs have the further disadvantage that the availability of the gasification plant is reduced by deposits of ash and soot and the maintenance effort is increased and the benefits of additional steam extraction by the resulting disadvantages largely be overcompensated.

The object of the invention was therefore to provide a method and a device for treating laden hot gas, with which a transfer of loaded hot gas from a reaction space into a connected refrigerator takes place such that the separation of solid and gas and the gas discharge from the cooling / Quench container with a long service life and low cleaning effort with uncomplicated easy-to-manufacture design is possible.
