Description

  The present invention relates to a method for performing a combustion treatment by mixing a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown. Specifically, in the combustion method of multiple types of combustible materials with unknown calorific value such as municipal waste, sludge, waste plastic (hereinafter abbreviated as waste plastic), the calorific value of each combustible material is measured in advance and the calorific value is calculated. This is a combustion method for combustible materials that can reduce fluctuations in the calorific value without separation and treatment accordingly.

  In recent years, due to the problem of landfill sites, there is an increasing trend in methods of combusting combustible waste such as municipal waste, sludge, and waste plastic in a combustion furnace.

  These flammable wastes vary greatly in calorific value depending on the type of waste received. For example, there is a considerable difference in the material of the waste that is accepted as 3000 to 5000 kcal / kg for paper scraps, wood, wood chips, etc., and 2000 to 10,000 kcal / kg for waste plastics. It will change. Therefore, when these flammable wastes are subjected to combustion treatment, there has been a problem that the calorific value fluctuates greatly and combustion is not stably performed.

  In order to solve the problem, various methods have been studied. For example, a method has been proposed in which a plurality of types of waste plastics are sorted in advance according to calorific value, and these waste plastics are mixed so that the calorific value is constant or mixed with sludge and processed in a combustion furnace (Patent Document 1). , See Patent Document 2).

  However, in the above method or the like, a plurality of types of waste plastics having different calorific values are stored in advance, and are extracted and mixed so as to have a predetermined calorific value, or sludge and waste plastics have a predetermined calorific value. Therefore, there is a problem that labor and cost for separating the combustible materials are required, and the process is complicated.

  On the other hand, waste plastics are treated in a high-temperature firing furnace as part of the fuel for producing quicklime, calcined dolomite, etc. because of not only mere combustion treatment but also environmental problems and high calorific value (patent) Reference 3).

  However, when processing waste plastic in a high-temperature firing furnace as a part of fuel when producing quicklime, calcined dolomite, etc., in order to stably produce quicklime, calcined dolomite, etc. Pretreatment that stores the waste by category and mixes waste plastic so as to obtain a predetermined calorific value is indispensable, and there is a problem that the production process of quicklime, calcined dolomite, and the like becomes complicated.

  In addition, combustible materials with unknown calorific value, such as combustible waste (including waste plastic), are used in the production of quicklime, calcined dolomite, etc., and the proportion that is processed as raw material for cement increases. ing. However, because various types of combustible materials are accepted from many industries, in fact, combustible materials are separated and stored for each calorific value, and each combustible material is taken out and combusted so as to achieve a predetermined calorific value. Considerable labor is required.

  Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to measure the calorific value of a combustible material in advance and separate the combustible material according to the calorific value when a plurality of types of combustible materials with unknown calorific values such as waste are burned. An object of the present invention is to provide a combustible combustion method that can reduce fluctuations in calorific value without requiring pretreatment for storing and taking out a predetermined calorific value.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have conducted intensive research. As a result, multiple types of combustible materials with unknown calorific value are processed in multiple stages using multiple crushers, and furthermore, by mixing the combustible materials crushed by each crusher, fluctuations in calorific value are small and stable. As a result, the present inventors have found that combustion treatment can be performed and have completed the present invention.

  That is, the present invention separates and stores a plurality of types of combustible materials with unknown calorific values, and distributes each combustible material that has been separated and stored in the storage step to a plurality of first crushers for rough crushing. A first crushing step for performing crushing, a second crushing step for distributing the combustible material roughly crushed in the first crushing step to a plurality of second crushers for crushing, and a crushing in the second crushing step A combustible material combustion method comprising: a mixing step of mixing the combustible material, and a combustion treatment step of combusting the combustible material obtained in the mixing step.

  The present invention separates the combustible material for each calorific value in advance, and removes the combustible material of which the calorific value is unknown without performing an operation of taking out the combustible material so as to obtain a predetermined calorific value and performing a combustion treatment. It can be burned.

  In addition, according to the present invention, when a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown are combusted, fluctuations in the calorific value can be reduced, so that the combusting process is facilitated. In particular, in cement manufacturing facilities that accept combustibles (wastes) with various calorific values from various industries and burn them, stable quality cement can be obtained even if a large amount of combustibles are processed. .

  The present invention is a method of burning a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown.

  In the present invention, the plurality of types of combustibles whose calorific values are unknown are not particularly limited as long as they include a plurality of types of combustibles having different calorific values. Among them, wastes including combustible materials are targeted, and specific wastes include waste plastic, waste oil, waste tires, municipal waste, sewage sludge, paper waste, wood waste, fiber waste, and the like. In addition, the shape of the combustible material stored in the storage process is not particularly limited, and various shapes such as powder, granular, lump, pellet, fluff, and flexible container can be targeted.

  Hereinafter, a combustion method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The combustible material combustion processing method of the present invention is a storage step A for separating and storing the received combustible material, a first crushing step B for distributing the combustible material separated in the storage step A and roughly crushing with a first crusher, The 2nd crushing process C which distributes the combustible material roughly crushed in the 1st crushing process B, and crushes with the 2nd crusher, the mixing process D which mixes the combustible material crushed in the 2nd crushing process C, and the mixing process Combustion treatment process E which carries out the combustion treatment of the combustible material obtained by D is comprised.

  In the present invention, first, in the storage step A, a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown are sorted and stored. The method for storing the combustible material is not particularly limited, and is simply stored by separating the combustible material whose calorific value is unknown for each unit that accepts the combustible material, the property, shape, etc. of the combustible material. A method etc. can be adopted. Since the present invention can sufficiently mix a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown in the first crushing step, the second crushing step, and the mixing step described in detail later, the calorific value of the combustible materials is examined in advance. There is no need to separate them.

  The present invention includes a first crushing step B in which a plurality of types of combustible materials with unknown calorific values separated in the storage step A are distributed to the first crusher for rough crushing.

  In the present invention, the method for distributing each combustible material separated in the storage step A to the plurality of first crushers is not particularly limited, and each combustible material separated in the storage step A is simultaneously selected. A method of distributing to the first crusher (for example, a method of simultaneously distributing the combustible material a1, combustible material a2, combustible material a3, etc. to the first crusher b1, etc., hereinafter referred to as a simultaneous distribution method), separation in the storage step A A method of sequentially distributing each combustible material so that the order of crushing is different in each first crusher (for example, combustible material a1, combustible material a2, combustible material a3 in this order to the first crusher b1 On the other hand, a method of distributing the combustible material in the order of the combustible material a2, the combustible material a3, and the combustible material a1 to the second crusher b2, hereinafter referred to as a sequential distribution method) can be employed. In order to simplify the process and operation from the storage process A to the first crushing process B, when wastes with different shapes can be continuously crushed, when multiple types of combustible materials cannot be put into the crusher at the same time. It is preferable to adopt a sequential distribution method. Further, it is preferable to distribute the combustible material from the storage step A so that the roughly combustible combustible materials discharged from the first crusher b1 and the first crusher b2 are different types of combustible materials.

  In addition, the means for transporting each combustible material from the storage process A to the plurality of first crushers is not particularly limited, such as transport by airflow, transport by belt conveyor, transport by truck, transport by crane, etc. Means corresponding to the shapes of a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown can be used.

  In the present invention, the combustible material distributed from the storage process A is roughly crushed in the first crushing process B. The size of the roughly combustible combustible material is preferably 50 to 500 mm. When the combustible material roughly crushed is in the range of 50 to 500 mm, the second crushing step C facilitates crushing, and the mixing step D can sufficiently mix the combustible material. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a combustible material roughly crushed in the above-mentioned range because foreign substances such as metals that are not combustible materials can be removed by a wind separator and a magnetic separator after rough crushing. In addition, although the said magnitude | size shows the maximum length and it is preferable that 100% of combustibles satisfy the said range, if 90% or more is the said range, the effect will fully be exhibited.

  In this invention, the 1st crusher used for the 1st crushing process B is not restrict | limited in particular, A normal waste, such as a biaxial shear type crusher and a biaxial shear rebreaking type crusher, can be crushed. The device can be used.

  In the present invention, the number of first crushers may be two or more, and is not particularly limited. The processing capacity of the first crusher is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the processing capacity of the first crushing process B is higher than the processing capacity of the second crushing process C. As will be described in detail later, combustible materials can be efficiently crushed and mixed because the processing capacity of the first crushing step B is high.

  The present invention includes a second crushing step C in which the combustible material roughly crushed in the first crushing step B is further distributed to a plurality of second crushers for fine crushing.

  In the present invention, the method for distributing the roughly pulverized combustible material to the plurality of second crushers is not particularly limited, and the combustible material roughly crushed from each first crusher to the plurality of second crushers. A method of simultaneously distributing products (see FIG. 1), a method of mixing roughly combustible combustible materials obtained from each first crusher, and a method of distributing the obtained mixture to a plurality of second crushers simultaneously or sequentially. be able to. In particular, when a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown are continuously burned, particularly when the method of distributing combustible materials from the storage step A to the first crushing step B employs the sequential distribution method described above. In order to reduce the fluctuation of the calorific value, a method of mixing roughly combustible combustible materials obtained from each first crusher and sequentially distributing the obtained combustible materials to a plurality of second crushers is adopted. It is preferable (see FIG. 2).

  In addition, the method of mixing the combustible material roughly crushed may be a method of mixing the combustible material roughly crushed between the first crushing step B and the second crushing step C on a transportation means or the like. It is also possible to forcibly mix with the apparatus. In the present invention, in the second crushing step C and the mixing step D, the roughly pulverized combustible material can be sufficiently crushed and mixed, so that the mixing may be simply performed on the transportation means or the like. .

  The means for transporting the combustible material roughly crushed from the first crushing step B to the second crushing step C is not particularly limited, and the combustible material roughly crushed, such as transportation by airflow or transportation by a belt conveyor. Means corresponding to the shape of the can be used.

  In this invention, it is preferable that the magnitude | size of the combustible material shredded by the 2nd crushing process C is 1-50 mm. The combustible material that has been crushed is preferable because it satisfies the size of the above range, so that not only sufficient mixing is performed in the mixing step described later, but complete combustion can be easily performed in the combustion treatment step. The size indicates the maximum diameter of the combustible material, and 100% combustible material preferably satisfies the above range, but if 90% or more is within the above range, the effect is sufficiently exhibited. To do.

  In this invention, the 2nd crusher used for the 2nd crushing process C is not restrict | limited especially, The apparatus which can crush normal wastes, such as a uniaxial shear type crusher and a biaxial shear re-crush type crusher Can be used.

  Moreover, the number of the 2nd crushers should just be two or more, and is not restrict | limited in particular. In addition, although the processing capacity is not particularly limited, as described in detail later, when each combustible material separated in the storage step A is distributed to each first crusher by the sequential distribution method, It is preferable that the processing capacity of the second crushing process is lower than the processing capacity of the first crushing process.

  As described above, the present invention is characterized in that the combustible material is distributed and crushed in each step from the storage step A to the first crushing step B and from the first crushing step B to the second crushing step C. It is. Therefore, by processing a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown with a crusher, the combustible materials can be mixed simultaneously with crushing. Further, when the crushing process is performed in multiple stages, the combustible material roughly crushed is distributed again, so that combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown can be mixed more uniformly at the same time as the fine crushing. Moreover, since the roughly combustible combustible material having a certain size is distributed and finely crushed, it can be easily distributed and can be mixed more uniformly during the fine pulverization.

  In the present invention, a preferred crushing method when crushing a plurality of types of combustible materials whose calorific values are unknown, such as waste, each having a different shape will be described below. In addition, the combustible material a of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 shows the combustible material whose calorific value is unknown.

  First, each combustible material is taken out from the storage process A and distributed to the first crushing process B. At this time, each first crusher (for example, the first crusher b1 and the first crusher b2) may distribute combustibles whose calorific values are unknown so as to crush different types of combustibles. preferable. Specifically, when the combustible material a1, combustible material a2, and combustible material a3 are distributed in this order to the first crusher b1, the combustible material a2, combustible material a3, and combustible material are distributed to the first crusher b2. It is preferable to distribute by the sequential distribution method which distributes in order of the thing a1, or the order of the combustible substance a4, the combustible substance a5, and the combustible substance a6. When the combustible material a1, combustible material a2, combustible material a3, etc. are distributed to the first crusher b1 by the simultaneous distribution method, the combustible material a4, combustible material a5, combustible material a6, etc. Is preferably distributed by a simultaneous distribution method. In particular, as described above, in order to simplify the process and operation from the storage process A to the first crushing process B, when the plural types of combustible materials cannot be charged simultaneously into the crusher, the above sequential distribution method is adopted. It is preferable to do.

  In the present invention, the storage step A is performed so that different types of combustible materials can be roughly crushed by each first crusher, that is, the types of coarsely crushed combustible materials discharged from each first crusher are different. By distributing each combustible material that has been separated and stored in a plurality of first crushers, it becomes possible to mix more types of combustible materials in the second crushing step C and the mixing step D, and the calorific value A combustible material with a small fluctuation can be obtained.

  Next, the combustible material roughly crushed from the first crushing step B is distributed to the second crushing step C and finely crushed. When the above sequential distribution method is adopted, in particular, the coarsely combustible combustibles obtained from each first crusher, for example, the first crusher b1 and the first crusher b2, are mixed, and the resulting mixture is obtained. Is preferably distributed sequentially to the plurality of second crushers. To illustrate the sequential distribution method, the mixture (a mixture of roughly pulverized combustible materials) is first supplied to the second crusher c1 until the processing capacity of the crusher is reached, and then the second crusher. A method of supplying to the machine c2 can be cited (see FIG. 2).

  The combustible material once mixed in this way (mixture of combustible combustible material) is sequentially distributed to the second crusher c1 and the second crusher c2, and is shredded by each second crusher. Many kinds of combustible materials can be mixed. That is, by adopting a sequential distribution method, when the combustible material is continuously crushed, the comminuted combustible materials obtained from the second crusher c1 and the second crusher c2 are a plurality of different types. The probability of being a combustible material can be increased.

  Further, when the combustible material is crushed continuously, the above-mentioned method (sequential distribution method) is adopted, so that the mixture of the roughly crushed combustible material obtained from the first crushing step B is shifted to the second time. Fine crushing can be performed by the crusher c1 and the second crusher c2. Thus, since the mixture of the roughly combustible combustible material having the same composition can be finely crushed by the second crusher c1 and the second crusher c2 at different times, the second crusher c1 and the second crusher Both the machine c2, that is, the combusted combustible material obtained from the second crushing step C, overlaps the combusted combustible material obtained before and after that and the type (partial composition) of some combustible materials. Probability can be increased.

  Then, by mixing these plural types of combustible combustibles in the mixing step D, it becomes possible to mix more types of combustible materials, and further, combustible combustible materials obtained before and after. Since there is a high probability that a combustible material in which the types (partial composition) of some combustible materials are overlapped, the combustible material obtained from the mixing step D can have a small variation in calorific value.

  From the above, it is preferable that the processing capacity of the first crushing process B is higher than the processing capacity of the second crushing process C. Considering industrial treatment, the processing capacity of the first crushing process B is preferably 1.2 times or more, more preferably 1.5 times or more that of the second crushing process C. When the processing capacity of the 1st crushing process B is low, it becomes impossible to crush combustibles with many 2nd crushers, and the combustibles etc. which are obtained from each 2nd crusher differ from each other. The probability of becoming a combustible material becomes low. In addition, the upper limit of the processing capacity of the first crushing step B is not particularly limited, but if it becomes too high, it is necessary to separately provide a large-capacity storage tank. It is preferable to make it 0.0 times or less. In the first crushing step B, the amount of combustible material distributed from the storage step A, the amount of coarsely crushed material distributed to the second crushing step C, etc. are adjusted according to the processing capacity of the second crushing step C. You can also

  Moreover, the processing capacity of each crusher of the 1st crushing process B and the 2nd crushing process C is not restrict | limited in particular, In each process, the same processing capacity may be sufficient, and it is a different processing capacity, Also good. However, it is preferable that the processing capacity of each crusher, that is, the processing capacity of the first crushing process B and the second crushing process C is higher as described above.

  By adopting such a crushing method, the present invention can mix combustible materials while crushing, and can also mix more types of combustible materials. Since it is possible to increase the probability of partial overlap, it is possible to obtain a combustible material with a small variation in the calorific value.

  In the present invention, it is also possible to provide a wind separator and a magnetic separator between the first crushing step B and the second crushing step C to remove metals in the combustible material.

  The present invention includes a mixing step D in which comminuted combustible materials obtained from the plurality of second crushers are mixed.

  The means for transporting the combustible material crushed from the second crushing step C to the mixing step D is not particularly limited, and the shape of the combustible comminuted material such as transportation by an air current or transportation by a belt conveyor is not limited. It is possible to use means according to the above.

  This mixing step D is not particularly limited, and may simply be a mixture of combustible materials pulverized from each second crusher, or may be pulverized by a tumbler, a mixer or the like that can be forcibly mixed. Combustible materials can be added and mixed. Moreover, the combustible material shredded into silos etc. can be put, and it can also mix in this silo. In the present invention, since combustible materials are distributed and crushed in each of the first crushing step B and the second crushing step C, only combustible materials transported by airflow from a plurality of second crushers are combined. However, uniform mixing can be achieved, and the amount of heat generated during combustion processing can be reduced.

  In the present invention, the combustible material obtained in the mixing step D can be directly combusted in the combustion processing step E. However, in order to adjust the amount of combustible material discharged to the combustion processing step E, a silo or the like is used. It is preferably provided before the combustion treatment step E. In addition, when mixing the combustible material finely crushed in the silo, mixing in the silo can be used as a mixing step.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the said mixing process D mixes at least 2 or more places. By mixing at two or more locations, not only the combustible material can be mixed more uniformly, but also it is possible to simultaneously accept the second crushing step C and discharge the combustible material to the combustion treatment step E. In other words, by mixing at multiple locations, it is possible to incinerate combustible materials efficiently by accepting combustible materials from the second crushing process on the one hand and simultaneously transporting combustible materials to the combustion treatment process on the other side. It becomes.

  The present invention includes a combustion treatment step E for subjecting the combustible material obtained in the mixing step to combustion treatment.

  The means for transporting the combustible material mixed from the mixing step to the combustion treatment step is not particularly limited, and may be transported by airflow, belt conveyor, or the like. Among these, transportation by airflow is preferable in consideration of combustible comminuted materials and safety during combustion processing.

In the present invention, the combustible material obtained in the mixing step D can be processed in an ordinary combustion furnace, or can be processed as a raw material for cement. In any case, since a plurality of types of combustible materials are uniformly mixed, the variation in the heat generation amount is small, and the heat generation amount can be easily controlled. In particular, when multiple types of combustible materials are used as raw material for cement, since multiple types of combustible materials are mixed uniformly, there is no sudden fluctuation in calorific value, and cement quality is kept stable. Can be easily controlled. As described above, since the fluctuation of the calorific value can be reduced, as described later, when used in combination with pulverized coal and / or heavy oil, the fuel (pulverized coal and / or Or 50% or more of heavy oil) can be replaced with the combustible material. Moreover, the combustion method of this invention can be suitably employ | adopted for the process from before the kiln which can process a large quantity of combustibles which are waste materials.

  In the present invention, in the combustion treatment step E in which the combustible material obtained in the mixing step D is combusted, in order to adjust the calorific value, the combustible material and pulverized coal and / or heavy oil are used in combination. It can also be processed. Since the combustible material obtained in the mixing step D of the present invention is uniformly mixed, fluctuation in the calorific value is small. Therefore, it becomes easy to maintain a certain calorific value by using the combustible and pulverized coal and / or heavy oil in combination and adjusting the amount of pulverized coal and / or heavy oil. In particular, when the combustion treatment of combustible material is performed in a cement manufacturing facility, the calorific value can be easily adjusted by using the combustible material obtained in the mixing step D together with pulverized coal and / or heavy oil. Therefore, a stable quality cement can be manufactured.

  In addition, by preparing a combustible material with a calorific value of 8000 kcal / kg or more as a fuel of about 30% of the whole, even if the calorific value is reduced when the combustible material is subjected to combustion treatment, it is 5000 kcal / kg or more. The calorific value can also be maintained.

  In the combustion treatment process of the present invention, when a cement manufacturing facility is used, the combustion place of combustibles transported from the mixing process is particularly limited because a plurality of types of combustibles are uniformly mixed. It can be put into a cement kiln from the front part of the kiln and the bottom part of the kiln and burned. Further, the combustible material can be burned in a calcining furnace.

  Examples and Comparative Examples are shown below, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples.

Example 1
The combustion results of combustible materials including the following waste plastics are shown. 1 ton of each waste plastic is taken out from the storage place (storage process) that mainly stores waste plastic containing polyolefin, waste plastic containing nylon, polyester, etc., paper and film laminates, waste plastic containing architectural waste, etc. Distribute sequentially to the first crusher b1 (processing capacity 3 t / h) and the first crusher b2 (processing capacity 3 t / h) of 1 crushing process B so that the two crushed materials are not the same. It shattered until it became about 500 mm. The total amount of waste plastic taken out was 6 t. Next, the combustibles roughly crushed by the first crusher b1 and the first crusher b2 are once collected, then placed on a belt conveyor, and the second crusher c1 in the second crushing step C (processing capacity 2 t / h). After supplying 2t, which is a processing capacity, the combustible material roughly crushed is then sequentially distributed to the second crusher c2 (processing capacity 2t / h), and the second crusher c1, the second crushing The machine c2 was crushed until the size became 20 to 30 mm. Next, the combustible material finely crushed by the second crusher c1 and the second crusher c2 was placed on a belt conveyor and discharged while mixing (mixing step) in a silo. The mixed combustible material was sampled every 20 minutes and the calorific value thereof was measured. The results are shown in Table 1. The fluctuation of the calorific value could be suppressed to about 2000 kcal / kg.

  Moreover, the combustible material obtained by mixing by the said method was thrown in before the kiln of a cement manufacturing equipment, and the combustion process (combustion process process) was performed. At this time, the combustible material was supplied to a cement manufacturing facility, and simultaneously supplied with pulverized coal. Normally, when only pulverized coal is used as cement fuel, the heat value in the cement production facility is set to 6500 kcal / kg, so when supplying the combustible material, the heat value is maintained at 6500 kcal / kg. The amount of pulverized coal input was adjusted so that it was possible. As a result, it was possible to adjust the calorific value to around 6500 kcal / kg without any problem by adjusting the input amount of pulverized coal, and a stable quality cement could be produced. At this time, it was possible to substitute 60% of the combustible material for the amount of pulverized coal used when 100% pulverized coal was used.

Comparative Example 1
In the same waste plastic place as in Example 1, 1 ton of each waste plastic is sequentially taken out and crushed to a size of about 500 mm by the first crusher b1 (processing capacity 3 t / h), and then the second crusher c1 (processing capacity 3 t). / H) and crushed to a size of 20 to 30 mm. The combustible material finely crushed by the second crusher c1 was sent to a silo and sampled five times (comparative sample) every 20 minutes. Table 1 shows the measurement results of the calorific value. The fluctuation of the calorific value was 4000 kcal / kg or more, and the combustion treatment at the cement production facility was not performed.
