DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for gasifying combustibles in a fluidized-bed furnace, and combusting generated combustible gases and fine particles at a high temperature in a melting and burning furnace to melt ash.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has been desired to incinerate a large amount of waste such as municipal waste and waste plastics to reduce the amount of waste, and to effectively utilize the heat of incineration. Since waste incineration ash usually contains harmful heavy metals, it is necessary to take measures such as solidifying heavy metal components in order to treat incineration ash by landfill. In order to cope with these problems, there has been proposed a solid combustion method and apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-35004. In the combustion method disclosed in this publication, a solid material is pyrolyzed in a fluidized bed pyrolysis furnace, and pyrolysis products, that is, combustible gas and particles are introduced into a cyclone combustion furnace. In the cyclone combustion furnace, flammable components are burned with high load by pressurized air, and the ash collides with the wall surface due to the swirling flow, melts and flows down the wall surface, becomes molten slag, drops from the discharge port to the water chamber, and is solidified .

In the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-35004, since the entire fluidized bed is in an active fluidized state, a large amount of unreacted combustibles are scattered out of the furnace along with the generated gas, so that high gasification is required. There were disadvantages such as inefficiency. Conventionally, as a gasification raw material that can be used in a fluidized bed furnace,
In the case of coal and the like, it has been a fine coal having a particle size of 0.5 to 3 mm, and in the case of waste, it has been a finely crushed product of several tens of mm. If it is larger than this, fluidization will be hindered, and if it is smaller than this, it will not be completely gasified and will be scattered out of the furnace as unreacted combustibles with the produced gas. Therefore, in conventional fluidized bed furnaces, it is essential to pre-crush and size using a pulverizer or the like as a pretreatment before charging the gasification raw material into the furnace, and the particle size does not fall within a predetermined range. Gasification feedstock was not available and yields had to be sacrificed to some extent.

[0004] To solve the above problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
No. 47692 has proposed a fluidized-bed gasification method and a fluidized-bed gasification furnace. In the fluidized-bed gasification method disclosed in this publication, the horizontal cross section of the furnace is rectangular, and the mass velocity of the fluidizing gas ejected upward from the center of the furnace bottom into the furnace is 2% of the furnace bottom.
The mass velocity of the fluidizing gas supplied from the two side edges is made smaller, and the upward flow of the fluidizing gas is diverted to the center of the furnace above the bottom edge of the furnace, and the flowing medium settles in the center of the furnace. A bed is formed, and a fluidized bed in which a fluidized medium is actively fluidized is formed on both side edges of the furnace, and combustibles are supplied to the moving bed. The fluidizing gas is a mixture of air and steam or a mixture of oxygen and steam, and the fluidizing medium is quartz sand.

However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2-14769 discloses
The method of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2 has the following disadvantages. That is, (1) In the entire moving bed and the fluidized bed, a gasification endothermic reaction and a combustion reaction occur simultaneously, and volatile components that are easily gasified are gasified and burned at the same time, and fixed carbon (char) and tar components that are difficult to gasify are burned. And the like are scattered out of the furnace as unreacted substances together with the produced gas, and high gasification efficiency cannot be obtained. (2) When the product gas is burned and used in a combined steam and gas turbine power plant, it is necessary to use a pressurized fluidized bed furnace. Have difficulty. The preferred gasifier internal pressure is determined by the application of the product gas. When it is used as a general combustion gas, it may be about several thousand mmAq. However, when it is used as a fuel for a gas turbine, several kgf / cm ² or more is required. When it is used as a fuel, it is appropriate to have a dozen or more kgf / cm ² or more.

In the treatment of waste such as municipal solid waste, reduction of the amount of combustible waste by combustion still plays an important role. In addition to this, in recent years, measures against dioxin, detoxification of dust, energy recovery have been taken. There is an increasing need for environmentally friendly waste management technologies such as improved efficiency. The amount of incineration of municipal waste in Japan is about 100,000 tons / day, and the energy of all municipal waste corresponds to about 4% of the power consumption of Japan. At present, the energy utilization rate of municipal solid waste is only about 10%. However, if the utilization rate can be increased, the consumption of fossil fuel will be reduced accordingly, which can contribute to the prevention of global warming.

[0007] However, current incineration systems include the following problems. That is, there is a problem of corrosion due to HCl, and power generation efficiency cannot be increased. HCl, NOx,
Pollution prevention equipment for SOx, mercury, dioxin, and the like has become complicated, and costs and space have increased. Due to the strengthening of laws and regulations and the difficulty of land at the final disposal site, the installation of incineration ash melting equipment is increasing, but this requires the construction of another equipment and consumes a large amount of electric power. Expensive equipment is required to remove dioxin.
It is difficult to recover valuable metals.

[0008]

In the method of the present invention, the horizontal section of the fluidized bed furnace is made substantially circular, and the fluidizing gas supplied to the fluidized bed furnace is supplied from the vicinity of the central portion of the furnace bottom to the central fluidizing gas and the periphery of the furnace bottom supplied to the furnace. And the mass velocity of the central fluidizing gas is made smaller than the mass velocity of the peripheral fluidizing gas.

[0020]

[Table 1] The combination with the highest gasification efficiency is No. Although the combination is 1, the cost is high because of the large amount of oxygen consumption. In order of decreasing oxygen consumption and then water vapor consumption, gasification efficiency decreases, but cost also decreases. The oxygen used in the present invention may be of high purity or of low purity obtained using an oxygen-enriched membrane.

Preferred combinations are shown in Table 15 below.

[0022]

[Table 2] Which of the combinations in Table 2 is selected depends on whether importance is placed on gasification efficiency or economic efficiency. Of the combinations in Table 2, the combination with the highest gasification efficiency is No. Although the combination is 1, the cost is high because the oxygen consumption is large. In order of decreasing oxygen consumption and then water vapor consumption, gasification efficiency decreases, but cost also decreases.

A fluidizing gas having a relatively high mass velocity and a relatively high oxygen concentration is provided.

In the apparatus of the present invention, there is provided an intermediate supply means for supplying the fluidized gas vertically upward into the furnace from a ring-shaped intermediate portion between the central portion and the peripheral portion of the fluidized gas dispersion mechanism. The intermediate supply means has a mass velocity intermediate between the mass velocities of the fluidizing gas supplied from the central supply means and the peripheral supply means, and an oxygen having an intermediate oxygen concentration of the fluidization gas supplied from the central supply means and the peripheral supply means. Supply a concentration of fluidizing gas. The peripheral supply means can be formed by a ring-shaped supply box. The combustible material inlet is disposed above the fluidized bed furnace, the combustible material inlet drops the combustible material above the central supply means, and the fluidizing gas dispersion mechanism is formed to be lower at the peripheral portion than at the central portion. it can.

The exhaust gas is introduced into the dust collector, and is discharged into the atmosphere after dust is removed.

[0029]

According to the gasifier of the present invention, the heat is diffused by the circulating flow of the fluidized bed furnace, so that the load can be increased and the furnace can be downsized. In the present invention, since the fluidized bed furnace can maintain combustion with a small amount of air, the fluidized bed furnace is set to a low air ratio and low temperature (450 to 650 ° C.) to minimize the generation of heat and perform gentle combustion. As a result, a homogeneous product gas containing a large amount of combustibles can be obtained, and most of the combustibles of gas, tar, and char can be used in the next melting and burning furnace. In the present invention, large incombustibles can be easily discharged by the circulating flow of the fluidized bed furnace. In addition, iron and aluminum in incombustibles can be used as unoxidized valuables. In the method or apparatus of the present invention, the horizontal section of the fluidized bed furnace is made substantially circular, so that the furnace has a pressure-resistant structure, the fluidized bed furnace is in a pressurized state at atmospheric pressure or higher, and the combustible material supplied into the furnace is It is easy to make the pressure of the combustible gas generated from high pressure high. High-pressure flammable gas can be used as fuel for gas turbines and boiler / gas turbine combined plants that can operate with high efficiency, and therefore, by using flammable gas in such plants, energy from combustibles can be reduced. Recovery efficiency can be improved. In the method or the apparatus of the present invention, when mainly treating refuse, in order to prevent odors and harmful combustion gases from leaking from the fluidized bed furnace, it is preferable to set the furnace internal pressure to atmospheric pressure or less. Since the horizontal section of the fluidized bed furnace is circular, the furnace wall can easily withstand external pressure.

In the present invention, the mass velocity of the central fluidizing gas supplied to the fluidized bed furnace is made smaller than the mass velocity of the peripheral fluidizing gas, and the upward flow of the fluidizing gas above the peripheral portion inside the furnace is reduced. A moving bed in which the flowing medium sinks and diffuses is formed in the center of the furnace, and a fluidized bed in which the flowing medium is actively flowing is formed around the furnace. Is done. The combustibles supplied into the furnace are gasified into combustible gas while circulating together with the fluidized medium from the bottom of the moving bed to the fluidized bed and from the top of the fluidized bed to the moving bed. The combustibles are first gasified in the descending moving bed at the center of the furnace, mainly by the volatiles due to the heat of the fluidized medium (typically using silica sand). And, since the oxygen content of the central fluidizing gas forming the moving bed is small, the combustible gas generated in the moving bed is hardly burned and rises to the freeboard together with the central fluidizing gas, and the calorific value is high. It becomes a high quality product gas.

The combustibles which have been heated due to loss of volatiles in the moving bed, ie, fixed carbon (char) and tar, are then circulated into the fluidized bed, where the fluidized bed has a relatively high oxygen content. It is burned in contact with the surrounding fluidized gas and is converted into combustion gas and ash, and generates combustion heat that maintains the inside of the furnace at 450 to 650 ° C. The fluidized medium is heated by the heat of combustion, and the heated fluidized medium is turned to the central part of the furnace above the peripheral part of the furnace and descends in the moving bed, thereby lowering the temperature in the moving bed to a temperature required for gasification of volatile matter. To maintain. Since the center of the furnace where the combustibles are charged is in a low oxygen state, a product gas having a high combustible content can be generated. Further, the metals in the combustibles can be recovered from the incombustibles outlet as unoxidized valuables.

In the present invention, when the gas, ash, and other fine particles generated in the fluidized bed furnace are burned in the melting and burning furnace, the generated gas contains a high combustible content, so that no heating fuel is required. 1300 ° C inside the melting furnace
The temperature can be raised as described above, and the ash can be sufficiently melted in the melting furnace. The molten ash can be taken out of the melting furnace and solidified easily by a known method such as water cooling. Therefore, the ash volume is significantly reduced and the harmful metals in the ash are solidified, so that the ash is in a form that can be landfilled. Other effects of the present invention will be apparent from the claims and the description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings.

Mainly char and tar which are not gasified in the intermediate layer 9 'move into the fluidized bed 10 around the furnace together with the fluidized medium, and are burned in the peripheral fluidized gas 8 having a relatively high oxygen content. The fluidized medium is heated in the fluidized bed 10 and circulates to the moving bed 9 to heat the combustibles in the moving bed 9.
