BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fuel additive and a fuel additive for preventing slagging, which can prevent slagging caused by ash in the fuel during combustion of various fuels, particularly fuels having a high ash content such as coal and oil coke. Relates to the combustion method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Boilers using coal, oil courses, by-product oil, etc., recovery boilers, various heating furnaces and various wastes, various incinerators that incinerate waste tires, etc. are caused by ash in the fuel and waste It is known that clinker is likely to occur, and slagging (clogging phenomenon) is caused by their growth.
As countermeasures to prevent these obstacles, measures such as increasing the interval between water pipes in boilers and installing many soot blowers have been adopted, but fuel still remains due to fuel deterioration, combustion fluctuations, load fluctuations, etc. Depending on the ash content of the ash, the melting point of the generated ash, etc., there were cases in which continuous operation was possible only for about one month. That is, since slagging occurs, it is necessary to stop the operation, cool the inside of the furnace, and peel off the clinker.
Further, as described in JP-A-61-250416, JP-A-62-77508 and the like for these obstacles, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium acetate, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate have been conventionally used. A fuel additive obtained by dispersing an alkaline earth metal compound such as dolomite or an Fe compound represented by mFeO.nFe ₂ O ₃ (m and n are 0 or more) in water or oil, or Attempts have also been made to suppress slagging by injecting it into the combustion gas.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional fuel additive is effective for a fuel having a relatively small ash content. That is, slagging can be prevented by changing the properties of the ash attached to the water tube by increasing the melting point of the ash, softening the ash, and blackening the ash.
However, fuels with a high ash content, such as coal, and especially prima coal with a low melting point of combustion ash, for example, have a large amount of ash adhering to the water pipe when they are burned, and sometimes water pipes as sticky clinker In addition, it adheres firmly to the wall of the water pipe and further absorbs the scattered ash, which makes it easy to grow a huge clinker. With the conventional fuel additive, it is difficult to suppress slagging even if added in a large amount. .
At present, no means has been found to effectively prevent slagging that occurs when fuel with such a large amount of ash content is burned.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention was obtained as a result of diligent research in view of the above, and (A) one or more of an ultrafine Al compound having a particle size of 3 to 200 nm, a Si compound, a Ti compound, and a Zr compound; (B) The present invention relates to a fuel additive for preventing slagging, comprising a composition in which a water-soluble explosive compound is dissolved or dispersed in water. The particle size here means an average primary particle size, which will be simply referred to as a particle size hereinafter.
[0005]
Further, the present invention provides a fuel combustion method characterized by adding the above fuel additive to liquid fuel oil or solid fuel and burning it, or directly adding it to a combustion atmosphere and burning the fuel, In the case of coal, the present invention also provides a fuel (coal) combustion method characterized in that the fuel additive is added to coal before the coal pulverization step and burned after pulverization.
[0006]
Furthermore, in the above combustion method, 1 to 50 parts by weight as ash in the fuel additive with respect to 100 parts by weight of the scattering scale during combustion caused by the ash contained in the fuel during the fuel additive charging time. It has been found that the failure caused by the ash content in the fuel can be more effectively prevented by charging intermittently in a large amount within 1 hour to 5 times a day, each within 2 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 2 hours each.
[0007]
That is, the present inventors can burn off liquid fuel oil or solid fuel using a fuel additive having a very fine particle size and a specific composition to reduce the strength of the generated ash and easily scrape it off with soot blow. I found what I could do.
Furthermore, by combining with a combustion method in which a large amount is intensively added in a short time, which has not been done in the past, a fuel containing a large amount of ash such as coal and sometimes containing ash with a low melting point of the produced ash They succeeded in preventing obstacles such as slugging that occur during combustion.
As a result, strong water pipe adhesion ash and huge clinker can be easily peeled off and dropped off with soot blow, etc., improving the heat absorption rate to the heat transfer surface, further reducing high temperature corrosion, low temperature corrosion, unburned carbon, The production of SO ₃ and NO _x can be suppressed, and the operation of the boiler and the like can be stably performed for a long time.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

These are also commercially available as alumina sol, silica sol, titania sol, zirconia sol, etc., respectively. When the particle size is larger than this range, a sufficient anti-slagging effect cannot be obtained, and the particle size is more preferably 10 to 100 nm.
[0009]
When a commercially available sol is used as the component (A), an alkali metal component is contained as an impurity in the sol. For example, in the case of synthetic colloidal silica, 20 to 50% by weight of SiO ₂ is usually Na _2. O is contained in a trace amount of 0.01 to 0.7% by weight and K ₂ O is 0.1% by weight or less. The alkali metal component contributes to improving the adhesion of the component (A) to the water tube and the water tube furnace wall and making the scale porous. As the alkali metal component, a small amount of a water-soluble substance such as a part of the alkali metal salt of the component (B) described later, the chelate metal Na salt of the component (C) or the alkali metal salt of the surfactant may be added. .

[0012]

[0013]

Mg, Fe of ethylenetetramine-N, N, N ′, N ″, N ″ ′, N ″ ′-hexaacetic acid), DHEG (dihydroxyethylglycine), HIDA (N- (2-hydroxylethyl) iminodiacetic acid) Na salt or ammonium salt of Ca, for example, EDTA · Mg · 2Na, EDTA · Fe · (NH ₄ ), EDTA · Ca · 2Na, and the like.
[0014]
More fuel additive of the present invention may optionally (D) naphthenic acid, isostearic acid, and the particle size was adsorbed treated with unsaturated fatty acids or one saturated fatty acids or two or more C ₁₂ -C ₂₂ is FeO.nFe ₂ O ₃ (n is a number of 0 or more), Mg (OH) ₂ , CaCO ₃ or two or more oxides (Fe ₂ O ₃ , MgO, CaO) consisting of fine particles of 5 to 50 nm By adding 15% by weight or less as a concentration, various combustion failures can be prevented or suppressed.
Mixing the component (D) using FeO.nFe ₂ O ₃ in particular will cause the scale formed in the furnace to blacken and increase heat absorption, thereby suppressing an increase in gas temperature. The boiler operation is stabilized for a longer period of time. In order to disperse the component (D) in water, a water-soluble surfactant can be used as a dispersion aid. Examples of the water-soluble surfactant include sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, sodium alkyl sulfate, polyoxy Examples include sodium ethylene alkyl sulfate and sodium C ₁₂ -C ₂₂ fatty acid.
[0015]
The operation of the fuel additive of the present invention will be described below using an aqueous silica sol as an example.
The silica sol used as the component (A) is a colloidal silica liquid in which ultrafine particles of high molecular weight silicic acid are dispersed in water, and the colloidal silica particles are as shown in FIG.
The colloidal silica particles are amorphous, almost spherical, and are semi-permanently dispersed in water in a very stable state. When such a silica sol is intensively added to the combustion furnace, as the water evaporates, it becomes an aggregate of very fine spherical silica particles or spherical silica particles, and this aggregate is also spherical, and some of them are water tubes. It adheres to the furnace wall and forms a thin film having a spherical fine slipperiness and releasability, and the other part adheres to the surface of the sticky particles of the combustion ash, thereby reducing the stickiness of the ash.
In addition, the presence of a small amount of alkali metal compound in the silica composed of spherical ultrafine particles (= component (A)) enables spherical silica particles having low melting point and low adherence to be effectively combined with water pipes or aggregates thereof. It can be attached to the wall of the water tube furnace, and the other part can be efficiently attached and coated on the surface of the sticky particles of the combustion ash to reduce the stickiness of the fly ash.
When a large amount of the fuel additive is temporarily added, the spherical silica particles in the fuel additive enter the pores of the attached ash, and the entire attached ash can be weakened. As the weakening progresses, the clinker can be pulverized by the slip-improving action called the micro-bearing effect of the spherical silica particles.
Further, these spherical silica particles crystallize from amorphous to crystalline at a temperature of about 1200 ° C., and at this time, a small amount of water molecules incorporated into the spherical silica particles or the aggregates thereof Due to the rapid gasification of hydroxyl groups and trace amounts of Na and K existing outside the particles, the spherical silica particles and their aggregates become expanded and porous, and are easily destroyed as a whole.
Moreover, explosive combustion is brought about temporarily by adding a trace amount water-soluble explosive compound (= (B) component). As a result, the combustion state in the furnace can be changed abruptly, and the effect is as if soot blowing was performed over a wide range. Furthermore, this (B) component also brings about the effect which spreads (A) component to every corner in a furnace.
The clinker easily peels off from the surface of the water tube and the surface of the water tube furnace wall by soot blow or the like due to the single or combined effects of the above-described actions.
[0016]
The primary particle size of the component (A) such as the spherical silica particles is in the form of ultrafine particles having a particle size of 3 to 200 nm as described above, and if the particle size is larger than that range, a sufficient anti-slagging effect can be obtained. Although it has been explained that this is not possible, quartz particles having a large particle size, for example, several μm, are produced by pulverizing the crystalline material, so that the particle size distribution is large and the shape is irregular. When this is added intensively into the combustion furnace, the evaporation of moisture is easily completed quickly because the particle size is large, the distribution is wide, and the shape is irregular, and the shape of the silica particles is simply changed without changing to a spherical shape. It becomes an aggregate of silica particles. Although the strength of the aggregate is weak, it does not cause expansion, so it does not become porous, can only exert the effect of diluting the scale, and it is presumed that it does not lead to prevention of slagging.
[0017]
Further, the composition ratio of the fuel additive of the present invention containing the components (A) and (B) is such that the component (A) is 10 to 50% by weight, the component (B) is 2% by weight or less, and the balance is Desirably water.
[0018]
When the fuel additive of the present invention is used, it may be continuously added together with the fuel. In the case of liquid fuel, it can be forcibly injected into the fuel pipe or proportionally injected into the service tank.
When adding to solid fuel, especially coal, add it directly to the coal feeder or coal on the coal feeder belt, and pulverize and knead it with a coal pulverizer (mill) to adhere the additive to the surface of the fine coal particles Can be allowed to burn, thereby efficiently depositing the additive component on the clinker surface.
In the following, based on FIG. 2, the received coal is stored in the coal bunker 21 and supplied to the coal feeding conveyor 23, but at the same time, the coal is crushed from the coal feeding pipe (chute) 25 at an instant. The machine (mill) 26 is supplied. The fuel additive of the present invention is added to the coal at the injection point 22. Coal that has fallen into the coal pulverizer is continuously pulverized by a roller 29, and by supplying primary air 28 around 80 ° C., coal particles having a particle size of a certain particle or less rise by wind pressure and pass through a classifier. Only the pulverized coal feed pipe 27 is supplied to the combustion chamber. The fuel additive added in the pulverization / drying process evaporates water like the fine coal, and penetrates or adsorbs as particles inside or on the fine coal to make it uniform. Since the inside of the flame is a reducing region around 1300 ° C, it is reduced and temporarily generates low melting point Si oxide (SiO) with a melting point of 800-1000 ° C, allowing adhesion to the clinker surface near the burner Become.
SiO ₂ + C = SiO + CO ↑
Originally low melting point coal ash produces clinker, but by temporarily making SiO with a melting point lower than the flame temperature, it was possible to adhere Si to the clinker surface. SiO reacts with oxygen O ₂ in the atmosphere and gradually oxidizes to SiO ₂ to form a strong film with a high melting point.
SiO + 1 / 2O ₂ = SiO ₂
[0019]
And especially by devising the addition method, a larger effect can be exhibited with a smaller amount of use. The addition method is 1 to 50 parts by weight as ash in the fuel additive with respect to 100 parts by weight of the scattering scale (ash) during combustion caused by the ash contained in the fuel during the fuel additive charging time. 1 to 5 times a day, each within 2 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 2 hours in a short period of time, and this addition method can drastically improve the effect of preventing slagging. It is.
That is, in the case of the method of continuously adding the fuel additive of the present invention together with the fuel, the clinker can be made porous by the above-described action to reduce its strength, but a large amount of the fuel additive must be added. In this case, the amount of use is increased because it is not possible to expect a decrease in strength that allows the attached ash to easily fall off.
In contrast, when the fuel additive is intermittently added in a large amount as described above, ash having a sufficiently low strength adheres in layers during the addition of the fuel additive, and the fuel additive is not added. While it is not, strong ash is deposited in layers on it. Therefore, even if a certain amount of attached ash is formed, it can be peeled off from the low strength layer portion by the dead weight of the ash itself or soot blow, and dropped together with the high strength layer portion attached thereon. In this method, since a large amount is added intensively only in a short time, the total amount used is smaller than that in the case of continuous addition. Therefore, this method can exert a greater effect with a smaller amount of use.

Generally, about 10% of coal ash is recovered as a clinker, but when the additive of Formulation Example 1 is added, the value is almost constant for one month, whereas the additive of Comparative Example 1 is added. In this case, it gradually decreased from the 9th day (at the time of the third measurement) and rapidly decreased in the second half.
There was a difference of 15.1 t ((10.21-8.70) × 10 =) in one month between Formulation Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, but in the case of Comparative Example 1 also in visual observation, there was a huge difference at the top of the furnace water seal The clinker was accumulated, and after the boiler stopped, the clinker was peeled off and measured for its weight. As a result, it was about 15 t, which was consistent with the difference in weight of the bottom clinker.
[0030]
[Table 3]

When calculated from the average value, the blending example 1 is 48% lower in apparent specific gravity than the comparative example 1, and the combustion coal ash increases in porosity, that is, becomes porous and breaks easily. It was known that it was peeled off.
