Description

  The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for removing unburned carbon in fly ash, which removes unburned carbon contained in fly ash generated in a coal-fired thermal power plant or the like and reforms it into properties suitable for reuse.

  Conventionally, fly ash generated in a coal-fired thermal power plant or the like has been used as a raw material for cement admixture, concrete admixture, artificial lightweight aggregate, or the like. However, when fly ash is used as an admixture for concrete, unburned carbon in the fly ash absorbs the AE water reducing agent and the like, reducing the workability of the concrete. In addition, when concrete is placed, unburned carbon floats, and there are problems such as the occurrence of a black part in the concrete joint.

  Furthermore, when an artificial lightweight aggregate is manufactured using fly ash with a lot of unburned carbon as a raw material, there is a problem that the quality of the artificial lightweight aggregate deteriorates. Therefore, only fly ash with low unburned carbon is used as a raw material for cement, and fly ash with a high unburned carbon content cannot be used effectively and has been landfilled as industrial waste.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1, water is added to fly ash to form a slurry, a collecting agent is added to the slurry, a shearing force is applied to the slurry and the collecting agent to perform surface modification, and then a flotation step. Has proposed a method of removing unburned carbon from fly ash by attaching unburned carbon of fly ash to air bubbles and causing it to float.

  From the viewpoint of waste recycling, it is desirable to use more fly ash as a cement mix, but increasing the amount of fly ash increases the amount of material that needs to be decarburized. It will be. For this reason, a large-scale processing facility is required, which causes an increase in facility cost and increases the production cost of cement and the like.

  Also, if low grade fly ash is used, the variation in the unburned carbon content will be severe, making it difficult to stabilize the unburned carbon content in the fly ash after decarburization treatment. There is a problem of causing quality fluctuations.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the problems in the conventional technology described above, and can reduce the unburned carbon content of fly ash while suppressing the equipment cost of decarburization treatment. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for removing unburned carbon in fly ash that can achieve homogenization of fly ash.

According to this, the amount of unburned carbon introduced into the flotation machine can be controlled according to the fluctuation of the unburned carbon content of the undecarburized fly ash. For this reason, for example, when the unburned carbon content of undecarburized fly ash is high, the amount of unburned carbon introduced into the flotation machine is not excessive, and the unburned carbon adhesion rate to the bubbles is reduced. Can be prevented. Thereby, mixing of the unburned carbon into the hydrophilic component can be suppressed, and the unburned carbon content of the decarburized fly ash can be adjusted to an appropriate value.

  Next, a method for adjusting the amount of unburned carbon using the above removal apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

  After the fly ash FA1 carried as waste from a coal fired thermal power plant or the like is stored in the fly ash tank 2, a part of the stored fly ash FA1 FA1-1 is transferred to the decarburization processing device 3.

  In the decarburization processing apparatus 3, as shown in FIG. 2, the fly ash FA1-1 from the fly ash tank 2 is supplied to the slurry tank 11 and mixed with water to generate the slurry S1. Further, sulfuric acid or carbon dioxide gas is added to the slurry tank 11 to adjust the pH of the slurry S1 to 5 or more and 10 or less while stirring the slurry S1, thereby precipitating calcium in the slurry and suppressing the growth of scale.

  Here, from the viewpoint of the efficiency of removing unburned carbon in the subsequent flotation machine 21, the solid concentration of the slurry S1 in the slurry tank 11 is 1% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less, more preferably 10% by mass or more and 20% by mass. % Or less.

  Next, the slurry S <b> 3 is supplied to the flotation machine 21 through the pump 20, and air is supplied to the flotation machine 21. Then, bubbles are generated in the tank of the flotation machine 21, and unburned carbon adsorbed by the hydrophobic agent is attached to the bubbles, and bubbles that have floated due to the attachment of unburned carbon are removed. Thereby, the unburned carbon contained in the fly ash FA1-1 can be removed.

  Next, the tail T including fly ash from the flotation machine 21 is solid-liquid separated by the solid-liquid separator 23, and the cake C <b> 1 is transferred to the dryer 24. Thereafter, the cake C1 is dried using waste heat G in the cement manufacturing process, and the dried cake C1 is transferred to the blending tank 4 as decarburized fly ash FA2.

  Further, the filtrate L1 separated by solid-liquid separation by the solid-liquid separator 23 is introduced into the boron adsorption tower 27 through the pump 25, and boron is removed using a resin having boron adsorptivity. Thereafter, the waste water L3 of the boron adsorption tower 27 from which boron has been removed is returned to the slurry tank 11, and the foaming agent remaining in the liquid is reused.

  The removal of boron contained in the filtrate L1 of the solid-liquid separator 23 is for the purpose of removing harmful substances in the filtrate L1 and for preventing a decrease in cement strength due to the mixing of boron into the cement. It is. Moreover, the knowledge that boron contained in fly ash is eluted in the filtrate generated in the dehydration process after the wet flotation is obtained for the boron removal treatment on the filtrate L1 of the solid-liquid separator 23. It is based on that.

  When boron is removed from the filtrate L1 of the solid-liquid separator 23, the circulating liquid containing boron does not return to the slurry tank 11, and the boron in the decarburization processing apparatus 3 gradually increases, so that solid-liquid separation. Mixing into the cake C1 of the machine 23 can be prevented. Thereby, decarburized fly ash FA2 from which boron does not elute can be obtained, and when decarburized fly ash FA2 is used as a cement mixture, it is possible to prevent boron from being mixed.

  In parallel with the above treatment, the floss F containing unburned carbon discharged from the flotation machine 21 is solid-liquid separated by the filter press 28, and unburned carbon is recovered. The recovered unburned carbon can be used as an auxiliary fuel in a cement kiln or the like. Further, the filtrate L2 generated by the filter press 28 is returned to the slurry tank 11 via the pump 29. The filtrate L2 can be added to the storage tank 16 or reused for defoaming when the unburned carbon is attached to the bubbles in the flotation machine 21.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, of the fly ash discharged from the fly ash tank 2, the fly ash FA1-2 (untreated FA) that is not transferred to the decarburization processing device 3 is directly transferred to the blending tank 4.

  At the time of transfer of fly ash FA1-2 or before transfer, fly ash FA1-2 is periodically sampled, and the content of unburned carbon is measured to calculate the content rate. And the decarburization rate in the decarburization processing apparatus 3 is set based on the calculated unburned carbon content.

  Here, as shown in Table 1, the adjustment of the decarburization rate is as follows: (1) rotational speed (shearing force) of the surface reformer 13 in FIG. 2, (2) addition amount of hydrophobic agent and foaming agent, ( 3) It can be performed by changing the slurry concentration of the slurry S1, and (4) the slurry residence time in the flotation machine 21.

  It is not always necessary to change all of (1) to (4). For example, only (1) + (3), (2) + (3), only (2) + (4), etc. It can also be dealt with by changes. For example, in the case of (2) + (4) (when “addition amount of hydrophobic agent and foaming agent” and “slurry residence time in flotation machine 21” are changed), the calculated unburned carbon As the content rate increases, the addition amount of the hydrophobic agent and the foaming agent is increased, and the slurry residence time in the flotation machine 21 is lengthened. Thereby, the contact frequency with the bubble which generate | occur | produces in the tank of the flotation machine 21 and the unburned carbon to which the hydrophobic agent adhered becomes high, and the unburned carbon adhesion rate to a bubble can be improved. Here, as a method of increasing the slurry residence time, there is a method of increasing the number of stages of the flotation tank in addition to simply extending the residence time.

  Returning to FIG. 1, then, the decarburized fly ash FA2 from the decarburization processing device 3 and the fly ash FA1-2 from the fly ash tank 2 are pumped to the blending tank 4 and mixed to produce a blended fly ash FA3. To do. At that time, the decarburized fly ash FA2 is used as an adjusting material for adjusting the unburned carbon content of the blended fly ash FA3, and the higher the unburned carbon content of the fly ash FA1-2, the higher the decarburized fly ash FA2. Increase usage of. At this time, by determining the blending ratio of the decarburized fly ash FA2 and the fly ash FA1-2 based on the unburned carbon content measured during the transfer of the fly ash FA1-2 or the like, The fuel carbon content can be brought closer to the target value.

  The produced blended fly ash FA3 is transferred to a cement mill (not shown) or the like in the cement manufacturing process and used as a cement mixing material.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a part of the received fly ash FA1 is guided to the decarburization processing device 3 and decarburized, and this is blended with the non-decarburized fly ash FA1-2. Since the fuel carbon content is adjusted, it is possible to obtain a fly ash having a low unburned carbon content while reducing the amount of fly ash decarburized.

  Also, by changing the unburned carbon content of decarburized fly ash FA2 and the blending ratio of decarburized fly ash FA2 and undecarburized fly ash FA1-2, the unburned carbon content of blended fly ash FA3 Can be adjusted. For this reason, by adjusting the unburned carbon content of the decarburized fly ash FA2 in accordance with the variation of the unburned carbon content of the fly ash FA1, the unburned carbon content of the blended fly ash FA3 is stabilized. Is possible. Thereby, homogenization of mixing | blending fly ash FA3 can be aimed at and it becomes possible to suppress the quality fluctuation | variation at the time of utilizing for the mixing material for cement.

  In the above embodiment, the case where fly ash is used as a cement mixture is illustrated, but the present invention uses fly ash as a concrete admixture, a raw material for artificial lightweight aggregate, a raw material for zeolite, and the like. It can also be applied to cases.

  Next, an experimental example relating to boron removal will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows that the decarburization processing apparatus is operated with the pH of the slurry S1 in the slurry tank 11 maintained at 8 to 9 without installing the boron adsorption tower 27 in FIG. It is a graph which shows transition of the boron content rate of the filtrate L1 of the liquid separator.

  From this graph, it can be seen that when the operation time of the decarburization treatment apparatus exceeds 80 hours, the boron content rapidly increases and gradually increases with time. According to the decarburization processing apparatus 3 shown in FIG. 2, the boron adsorption tower 27 is installed on the circulation route 26, and boron is removed from the filtrate (circulation water) L1, so that boron content as shown in the graph is included. There is no increase in rate. Therefore, as described above, it is possible to prevent boron from being mixed into the cake C1 of the solid-liquid separator 23, and it is possible to obtain fly ash from which boron does not elute when used as a recycling resource.
