Japanese Patent No. 3076010

  The melting point or viscosity of the slag varies depending on the properties of the waste processed in the melting part. Therefore, as in the conventional processing method, the method in which the temperature in the chute is simply set to a predetermined temperature or higher cannot sufficiently suppress the slag sticking depending on the setting of the temperature, and the stuck slag is not removed from the outlet. May be blocked. When the slag closes the tap, the operation of the melting furnace must be stopped in order to remove the stuck slag, and the operation efficiency deteriorates. Here, if this temperature is set to a very high temperature, the sticking of the slag is suppressed, but the chute and the drawing portion may be deteriorated by being exposed to a high temperature.

  In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a processing method of a melting system that can maintain high operating efficiency by suppressing clogging of a tap outlet while suppressing deterioration of a chute or the like.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention comprises a melting part that generates slag by burning and melting ash in waste pyrolysis gas and discharges the slag from a tap outlet formed at a downstream end; A chute that extends downward from the tap and surrounds the slag flowing down from the tap and a downstream end of the melting section where the tap is formed and is discharged from the melting section. And a secondary combustion section in which the exhaust gas is burned on the inside, and a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the melting section is introduced into the chute from the outlet The suction means is used to suck the gas in the chute into the reflux part that communicates the chute and the melting part or the secondary combustion part, and the sucked exhaust gas is passed through the reflux part. Through A gas suction step for returning to the melting part or the secondary combustion part, and a part of the chute that is provided below the outlet and above the communication part between the chute and the reflux part. A temperature determination step for determining whether the temperature of the gas in the vicinity of the tap outlet predicted from the detection value of the temperature detection means capable of detecting the temperature of the passing gas is equal to or higher than a preset reference temperature; This is performed after the temperature determination step, and when the temperature determination step determines that the temperature of the gas near the tap outlet is lower than the reference temperature, the temperature of the gas near the tap outlet is After the suction force increasing step of increasing the suction force of the suction means so as to be equal to or higher than the reference temperature, and after the temperature determination step, the temperature of the gas in the vicinity of the tap hole in the temperature determination step is the reference temperature. It is determined that the temperature is over And a fixed slag melting step that is performed when the slag is fixed in the vicinity of the tap outlet and melts the fixed slag. In the fixed slag melting step, a base is formed in the melting portion. The basicity of the slag is adjusted so that the fixed slag is melted by adding a degree adjusting agent, and the amount of the added basicity adjusting agent is greater than or equal to a preset reference amount, and When the slag is fixed in the vicinity of the shed, a combustion energy capable of melting the slag is supplied to the slag fixed in the vicinity of the shed using a combustor provided near the outlet. It provides a processing method in the melting system comprising the Turkey to heat the slag.

  According to this method, while the early deterioration of the chute and the reflux portion is suppressed, blockage of the taphole due to the slag is suppressed, and the operation efficiency is maintained high.

  That is, in this method, part of the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged from the melting part flows into the chute from the outlet, and the slag is generated in the vicinity of the outlet. It is maintained at a high temperature by contact with the high-temperature gas, and sticking of the slag in the vicinity of the tap is suppressed. In particular, when it is determined that the temperature of the gas near the tap outlet is lower than the reference temperature, the suction force of the suction means is increased so that the temperature of the gas near the tap outlet is equal to or higher than the reference temperature. Therefore, the slag near the tap is more reliably maintained at a high temperature.

In addition, when the slag is fixed in the vicinity of the outlet, although the temperature of the gas in the vicinity of the outlet is equal to or higher than the reference temperature, the temperature of the gas in the vicinity of the outlet is further increased. without being, because basicity adjusting agent to the molten portion is Ru is turned on, the tapping opening by slag while suppressed from deteriorating at an early stage by the chute and recirculation section is exposed to excessive hot gas Blockage is suppressed.

Furthermore, in this configuration, the slag is heated by the combustor only when the basicity adjusting agent is charged in a predetermined reference amount or more and the slag is fixed to the outlet. When the slag adhered by the basicity adjusting agent can be removed, the combustor is not driven. Accordingly, excessive driving of the combustor is suppressed, and energy required for this driving is reduced. This reduces costs and suppresses early deterioration of the combustor and the vicinity of the taphole associated with excessive supply of combustion gas.

The present invention also includes a melting part that burns and melts ash in the pyrolysis gas of waste to generate slag and discharges the slag from a spout formed at the downstream end, and a lower part from the spout And a chute having a shape surrounding the slag flowing down from the tap and an exhaust gas exhausted from the melting section connected to the downstream end of the melting section where the tap is formed. A treatment method in a melting system including a secondary combustion section in which the exhaust gas burns inside, so that a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the melting section flows into the chute from the outlet. Using suction means, the gas in the chute is sucked into a reflux part that communicates the chute with the melting part or the secondary combustion part, and the sucked exhaust gas is passed through the reflux part to the melting part or the front part. A gas suction step for returning to the secondary combustion section, and a temperature of gas passing through this portion of the chute that is provided below a portion of the chute and above a communication portion between the chute and the reflux portion. A temperature determination step for determining whether the temperature of the gas near the outlet predicted from the detection value of the temperature detection means capable of detecting the temperature is equal to or higher than a preset reference temperature, and after the temperature determination step When the temperature determination step determines that the temperature of the gas near the tap outlet is lower than the reference temperature, the temperature of the gas near the tap outlet is equal to or higher than the reference temperature. After the suction force increasing step for increasing the suction force of the suction means and the temperature determination step, the temperature of the gas near the outlet in the temperature determination step is equal to or higher than the reference temperature. Is determined and the output is Is performed when the slag near the mouth is stuck, the sticking slag melting step of melting the slag described above affixed, are performed before the temperature determining step, for adjusting the basicity of the slag the basicity adjusting agent and a basicity adjusting agent adding step of introducing into the molten portion, the temperature determining step, setting the basicity adjusting agent is charged into the melting portion in the basicity adjusting agent adding step in advance Is carried out only when the slag is fixed in the vicinity of the tap outlet, and in the fixing slag melting step, a combustor provided in the vicinity of the tap outlet is used. Provided is a processing method in a melting system, characterized in that combustion energy capable of melting the slag is supplied to the slag fixed in the vicinity of the tap outlet and the slag is heated (Claim 2).

  In this configuration, the temperature determination step, the suction force increasing step performed after the temperature determination step, and the heating of the slag by the combustor, the basicity adjusting agent is charged more than a preset reference amount, and the This is performed only when the slag is fixed to the tap, and when the slag fixed by the basicity adjusting agent can be removed, the suction force of the suction means is not increased and the combustor is also driven. Not. Therefore, the energy required for increasing the suction force of the suction means and driving the combustor can be reduced. This reduces costs and suppresses early deterioration of the combustor and the vicinity of the taphole associated with excessive supply of combustion gas.

In the present invention, the basicity adjusting agent is introduced from the upper part of the outlet in the melting part so that at least part of the basicity adjusting agent flows into the secondary combustion part together with the gas discharged from the melting part. It is preferable to put in the melting part (Claim 3 ).

  A part of the slag generated in the melting part also flows into the secondary combustion part side provided downstream of the melting part. The temperature of the portion connected to the upstream end of the secondary combustion portion and connected to the downstream end of the melting portion where the outlet is formed is lower than the temperature of the melting portion. It tends to stick near the upstream end of the next combustion section. On the other hand, in this method, since the basicity adjusting agent flows into the secondary combustion section and the slag stuck in the secondary combustion section is effectively removed, Blockage is more reliably suppressed.

In addition, the present invention is implemented only after the temperature determination step and when it is determined in the temperature determination step that the temperature of the gas near the outlet is equal to or higher than a preset maximum temperature. the the amount of gas sucked into the reflux portion comprises a suction force reduction step of reducing the suction force of the suction means so as to reduce preferably (claim 4).

  In this way, it is more reliably suppressed that the gas temperature in the chute and the reflux part becomes excessively high.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to suppress clogging of the tap port due to slag while suppressing deterioration of the chute and the reflux portion.

It is the schematic which shows the whole structure of a waste treatment facility provided with the melting system which concerns on other embodiment of this invention.

  A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a waste treatment facility 1 including a melting system 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, the waste disposal procedure in the waste disposal facility 1 will be described.

  In addition to the melting system 50, the waste treatment facility 1 mainly includes a waste pit 2, a dust feeder 4, a fluidized bed gasifier 6, a boiler 30, and a gas cooler 42 mainly from the upstream side. And a bag filter 44, a denitration device 46, and a chimney 48.

  In the waste treatment facility 1, first, waste stored in the garbage pit 2 is input to the dust feeder 4. The waste introduced into the dust feeder 4 is quantitatively supplied from the dust feeder 4 to the fluidized bed gasifier 6 and thermally decomposed in the fluidized bed gasifier 6. . In the fluidized bed gasification furnace 6, partial combustion of the waste is performed, and thermal decomposition, that is, gasification, is performed while maintaining the temperature of the fluidized bed composed of a sand layer or the like at a predetermined temperature. The pyrolysis gas generated in the fluidized bed gasification furnace 6 is guided to the melting system 50. On the other hand, non-combustible materials out of the waste are extracted from the bottom of the hearth, separated into non-ferrous metals, iron, etc., and transported outside the waste treatment facility 1 to be reused.

  In the melting system 50, the pyrolysis gas is further combusted. In this melting system 50, a swirling flow is formed in the melting section 12 described later, and high-temperature combustion at about 1300 ° C. is performed. At this time, the ash in the pyrolysis gas is melted to produce slag. The generated slag flows down a chute 20 described later of the melting system 50 and is discharged to a slag cooling device 28 provided below the chute 20. The slag is rapidly cooled by the slag cooling device 28 and conveyed to the outside for reuse.

  Further, high temperature gas is discharged from the melting part 12. This hot gas is introduced into the secondary combustion section 14 of the melting system 50 which will be described later. In the secondary combustion section 14, complete combustion of unburned substances in the exhaust gas from the melting section 12 is performed. The exhaust gas discharged from the secondary combustion unit 14 is introduced into the boiler 30. The boiler 30 recovers the waste heat by bringing the exhaust gas into contact with a heat exchanger or the like. The gas from which the waste heat has been recovered by the boiler 30 is cooled by the gas cooler 42, then dust is removed by the bag filter 44, and is discharged from the chimney 48 through the denitration device 46.

  Next, the details of the melting system 50 will be described.

FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing a part of the melting system 50 in an enlarged manner. The melting system 50 includes the melting part 12, a chute 20 provided downstream of the melting part 12, a secondary combustion part 14 provided further downstream of the chute 20, a reflux path (refluxing part) 60, It has a fan (suction means) 70, a temperature sensor 16, a basicity adjusting agent charging device 17, and a burner (combustor) 18.

  The melting part 12 communicates with the fluidized bed gasification furnace 6. The melting portion 12 is a portion that burns the pyrolysis gas introduced from the fluidized bed gasification furnace 6 and melts the ash content of the pyrolysis gas to generate slag. The melting part 12 has a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the vertical direction. A communication port 12e communicating with the fluidized bed type gasification furnace 6 is provided at the upper end of the melting part 12, and the pyrolysis gas flows from the fluidized bed type gasification furnace 6 through the communication port 12e. be introduced. A gas combustion burner is attached to the top portion 11 of the melting portion 12, and the pyrolysis gas is burned by being heated by the gas combustion burner.

  At the downstream end, that is, the lower end of the melting portion 12, a tap hole 12 a that communicates with the chute 20 is provided. The slag generated in the melting part 12 is discharged to the chute 20 through the tap port 12a.

  The chute 20 is for causing the slag discharged from the melting part 12 through the tap port 12a to flow downward. The chute 20 has a shape surrounding the slag flowing down from the tap hole 12a. Specifically, the chute 20 has a cylindrical shape and has a hollow peripheral wall 22 extending downward from the tap hole 12a. The upper end of the chute 20 communicates with the melting part 12 through the tap hole 12a. The slag cooling device 28 is connected to the lower end of the chute 20. The slag discharged to the chute 20 from the outlet 12a is guided to the slag cooling device 28 by flowing down the inside of the peripheral wall 22 of the chute 20.

  On the peripheral wall 22 of the chute 20, a reflux path inlet 24 is provided at a position below the upper end thereof communicating with the tap hole 12a. The reflux path inlet 24 communicates with the reflux path 60, and the gas in the chute 20 can flow into the reflux path 60 from the reflux path inlet 24.

  Of the peripheral wall 22 of the chute 20, the temperature sensor 16 is attached to a temperature detection part 22 a located below the tap opening 12 a and above the reflux path inlet 24. The temperature sensor 16 detects the temperature of the gas in the chute 20 in the temperature detection unit 22a. As this temperature sensor 16, for example, a K thermocouple is used.

  In addition, the bottom surface 12b of the melting part 12 is inclined downward toward the tap hole 12a. A projecting portion 15 that projects toward the inside of the chute 20 is provided at the lower end of the bottom surface 12 b, that is, the portion surrounding the tap hole 12 a. Therefore, the slag flows along the projecting portion 15 to be guided inward from the inner surface of the chute 20 and flows down in the chute 20 in a state where adhesion to the side surface of the chute 20 is suppressed. .

  The secondary combustion section 14 is for burning the unburned components in the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting section 12. The secondary combustion section 14 is connected to the downstream end of the melting section 12 where the tap port 12a is formed. The secondary combustion section 14 and the melting section 12 are connected to the tap port 12a. Above each other. The secondary combustion part 14 is inclined upward as it goes downstream from the downstream end of the melting part 12, that is, a communication path 14a that is inclined downward toward the tap hole 12a, and a downstream of the communication path 14a. And a main body portion 14c extending upward from the end.

  At least a part of the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 flows into the main body part 14c of the secondary combustion part 14 through the outlet 12a and the communication path 14a. Secondary air is supplied into the main body 14 c of the secondary combustion section 14. In the main body part 14c of the secondary combustion part 14, unburned substances in the exhaust gas from the melting part 12 are completely burned by contact with the secondary air. The boiler 30 is connected downstream of the main body 14 c of the secondary combustion section 14, and the high-temperature gas processed in the secondary combustion section 14 flows into the boiler 30.

  A part of the slag flows into the secondary combustion section 14 from the melting section 12 together with the high-temperature gas. The slag that has flowed into the secondary combustion section 14 flows down the bottom surface 14b of the communication passage 14a toward the tap hole 12a and flows into the chute 20 through the tap hole 12a.

  The projecting portion 15 projecting toward the inside of the chute 20 is also provided at the lower end of the bottom surface 14b of the communication passage 14a of the secondary combustion unit 14 and facing the tap hole 12a. Accordingly, the slag that has flowed from the melting part 12 to the secondary combustion part 14 side flows down the bottom surface 14b of the communication passage 14a of the secondary combustion part 14 and then flows down along the overhanging part 15 so that the chute 20 The inside of the chute 20 is guided to the inner side, and the chute 20 is flowed down in a state where the adhering to the side surface of the chute 20 in which the reflux path inlet 24 is formed is suppressed.

  The secondary combustion unit 14 is provided with a reflux path outlet 14 d communicating with the reflux path 60. The gas in the reflux path 60 is introduced into the secondary combustion section 14 through the reflux path outlet 14d. The reflux path outlet 14d is connected in the vicinity of the boundary between the communication path 14a and the main body 14c of the secondary combustion section 14, and this gas is introduced into the main body 14c of the secondary combustion section 14. The combustion process is performed in the main body 14c.

  The basicity adjusting agent charging device 17 is for charging a basicity adjusting agent for adjusting the basicity of slag into the melting part 12 and the secondary combustion part 14. The basicity of the slag varies depending on the type of waste that has been treated, and the melting point or viscosity of the slag varies accordingly. The basicity adjusting agent is for adjusting the basicity of the slag so that the melting point or viscosity of the slag is in an appropriate state. When the basicity adjusting agent is supplied to the slag, the slag is fixed. Is suppressed and the fixed slag melts. As the basicity adjusting agent, for example, sand or calcium is used.

  The basicity adjusting agent charging device 17 is connected to a basicity adjusting agent charging port 12c provided on the top wall at the downstream end of the melting part 12 above the tap hole 12a. The basicity adjusting agent is charged from above the brewing port 12a toward the brewing port 12a through the agent charging port 12c.

  The burner 18 is for melting the slag fixed in the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a. The burner 18 is attached in the vicinity of the upper end of the peripheral wall 22 of the chute 20 so as to face the tap hole 12a. The burner 18 melts the slag that is fixed in the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a by supplying combustion gas, that is, combustion energy, toward the tap outlet 12a. As the burner 18, for example, an O2 burner that burns fuel and oxygen is used.

  The reflux path 60 is a path for returning the gas in the chute 20 to the secondary combustion unit 14. One end of the reflux path 60 is connected to the reflux path inlet 24 of the chute 20, and the other end is connected to the reflux path outlet 14d. The reflux path 60 communicates the chute 20 and the secondary combustion unit 14 via the reflux path inlet 24 and the reflux path outlet 14d.

  The fan 70 is a device for sucking the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 into the reflux path 60 through the chute 20. The fan 70 has a plurality of wings and sucks gas by the rotation of the wings. The fan 70 is provided in the middle of the reflux path 60. The fan 70 sucks gas on the upstream side of the fan 70, that is, on the chute 20 side, out of the gas in the reflux path 60.

  When a suction force acts on the gas in the reflux path 60 by the fan 70, the gas in the chute 20 is sucked into the reflux path 60 through the reflux path inlet 24. Further, a part of the high temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 is sucked into the chute 20 through the tap hole 12a. That is, a part of the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 flows down into the chute 20 through the tap outlet 12 a and then flows into the reflux path 60 through the reflux path inlet 24. A part of the hot gas flows into the secondary combustion section 14 through the reflux path 60.

  In this way, when a part of the high temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 flows into the chute 20 together with the slag through the tap outlet 12a, the slag is separated from the hot gas in the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a. It is kept at a high temperature by contact. Thereby, the slag flows into the chute 20 in a state where the sticking in the vicinity of the tap hole 12a is suppressed.

  Here, the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 includes ash remaining without being slagged and acidic gas generated during combustion in the melting part 12. Therefore, when the ash or acid gas flows into the fan 70 and the reflux path 60, the suction force of the fan 70 is reduced and the reflux path 60 may be corroded. When the fan 70 is stopped due to a failure or the like, the relatively low temperature gas in the secondary combustion section 14 flows back into the chute 20 through the reflux path 60, and the chute 20 and the outlet 12a. There is a risk of lowering the temperature in the vicinity.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, ash and acid gas can be removed from the high-temperature gas upstream of the fan 70 in the reflux path 60, that is, between the reflux path inlet 24 and the fan 70. A scrubber 80 capable of restricting the backflow when stopping 70 is provided. By removing ash and the like from the high-temperature gas by the scrubber 80, corrosion of the fan 70 and the like is suppressed, and the spout 12a due to the backflow is provided. The temperature drop in the vicinity, and hence the slag sticking in the vicinity of the taphole 12a is suppressed.

  Inside the outer wall 82 of the scrubber 80, a partition wall 84 defines an upstream chamber 86 that communicates with the chute 20 side of the reflux path 60 and a downstream chamber 88 that communicates with the fan 70 side of the reflux path 60. Yes. Water is stored in each of the upstream chamber 86 and the downstream chamber 88. The upstream chamber 86 and the downstream chamber 88 communicate with each other so that gas and water can flow under the partition wall 84, but gas and water cannot flow through the lower end portion of the partition wall 84. Isolated.

  In this scrubber 80, the water level of each chamber 86, 88 is located above the lower end of the partition wall 84 under the condition that the fan 70 is not operating and the pressures in the upstream chamber 86 and the downstream chamber 88 are equal. Thus, the movement of the gas from the upstream chamber 86 to the downstream chamber 88, and hence the backflow of the gas from the secondary combustion section 14 to the chute 20 side, is restricted. On the other hand, under the condition that the fan 70 is operated and the gas in the downstream chamber 88 is sucked so that the pressure in the downstream chamber 88 is lower than the pressure in the upstream chamber 86 by a predetermined pressure, the water surface of the upstream chamber 86 Positioned below the lower end of the partition wall 84, the gas in the upstream chamber 86 can flow into the downstream chamber 88. That is, the hot gas flowing from the chute 20 side can move to the fan 70 side. At this time, the water surface of the downstream chamber 88 is located above the downstream end of the partition wall 84, and the high temperature gas is mixed into the water in the downstream chamber 88, and the water soluble acid contained in the high temperature gas. Gases, specifically chlorine-based gas and sulfuric acid-based gas, and ash are dissolved and removed in water. Further, high-temperature air is introduced between the scrubber 80 and the fan 70 by the high-temperature air supply means 92, and the water discharged from the scrubber 80 is evaporated. Is prevented from corroding.

  The water in which the ash and acid gas in the scrubber 80 are dissolved is appropriately discharged to the outside by a water draining device 95 provided at the lower end of the scrubber 80.

  In the melting system 50 configured as described above, as described above, the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 flows into the chute 20 through the outlet 12a by the suction force of the fan 70. By doing so, the sticking of the slag in the vicinity of the tap hole 12a is suppressed. However, the temperature at which the slag melts or the viscosity of the slag varies depending on the properties of the waste processed in the melting part 12. On the other hand, for example, if the rotational speed of the fan 70, that is, the suction force is maximized, the amount of gas passing through the tap hole 12a is increased and the temperature near the tap hole 12a is set to a very high temperature It is possible to cope with the properties of a plurality of different slags, and it is possible to more reliably suppress slag sticking in the vicinity of the taphole 12a. However, if the amount of gas passing through the tap hole 12a is increased, the chute 20 and the reflux path 60 may be exposed to high-temperature gas and deteriorate early. Therefore, in the present melting system 50, the operator performs the following process to avoid the blockage of the spout 12a due to the slag sticking while suppressing the early deterioration of the chute 20 and the like.

  The processing method which concerns on 1st Embodiment of this melting system 50 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1, the fan 70 is driven together with the operation of the melting system to suck the gas in the chute 20 into the melting part 60, and thereby the high temperature gas discharged from the melting part 12 is discharged. While flowing down into the chute 20 through the mouth 12a (gas suction step), temperature detection by the temperature sensor 16 is started.

  In step S2, the operator reads the detection value of the temperature sensor 16, and predicts the temperature of the gas at the spout 12a from the detection value of the temperature sensor 16. Hereinafter, this predicted temperature is referred to as a predicted outlet temperature. It is known that there is a high correlation between the temperature of the gas in the chute 20 in the temperature detection part 22a detected by the temperature sensor 16 and the temperature of the gas in the tap hole 12a. The temperature of the taphole 12a is predicted with accuracy by the value. Specifically, the temperature of the gas in the temperature detection unit 22a is detected in advance and the temperature of the tap outlet 12a is detected, and the relationship between the temperature of the temperature detection unit 22a and the temperature of the tap port 12a is determined. A map is prepared, and a value corresponding to the detected value of the temperature sensor 16 is extracted from this map as the predicted outlet temperature. Alternatively, a value (for example, 100 ° C.) obtained by adding a constant value to the detected value of the temperature sensor 16 is calculated as the predicted outlet temperature.

  Here, it is conceivable that a temperature sensor is directly attached to the tap hole 12a. The temperature of the tap hole 12a is higher than that of the temperature detection unit 22a, and the temperature sensor and the slag at the tap port 12a. There are many contact opportunities, and the temperature sensor will fail early. On the other hand, in the present processing method, as described above, the temperature sensor 16 is attached to the temperature detection unit 22a below the spout 12a to detect the temperature of the temperature detection unit 22a, and this detection is performed. The temperature of the taphole 12a is predicted based on the value, and the temperature of the taphole 12a can be known stably.

  Next, in step S3, it is determined whether the predicted outlet temperature is equal to or higher than a reference temperature Tmin, that is, whether the predicted outlet temperature is lower than a preset reference temperature Tmin (temperature determination). Process). Further, it is determined whether or not the predicted outlet temperature is equal to or lower than a preset maximum temperature Tmax. The reference temperature Tmin is set to 1250 ° C., for example, and the maximum temperature Tmax is set to 1300 ° C., for example.

  If the determination in step S3 is NO and the predicted outlet temperature is lower than the reference temperature Tmin or higher than the maximum temperature Tmax, the rotational speed of the fan 70 is increased or decreased in step S4. .

  Specifically, when the predicted outlet temperature is lower than the reference temperature Tmin, there is a high possibility that the slag sticks at the outlet 12a. Therefore, in this case, in step S4, the rotational speed of the fan 70 is increased to increase the suction force by the fan 70, and the amount of gas passing through the tap hole 12a is increased (suction force increasing step). . Thereby, the temperature of slag becomes high in the vicinity of the taphole 12a, and sticking of slag is suppressed.

  On the other hand, when the predicted outlet temperature is higher than the maximum temperature Tmax, the rotational speed of the fan 70 is reduced to reduce the suction force of the fan 70 (suction force reduction step). Thereby, it is avoided that the temperature of the tap outlet 12a becomes equal to or higher than the maximum temperature Tmax, and thermal deterioration of the chute 20 and the reflux path 60 is suppressed.

  The step S4 is performed until the predicted outlet temperature becomes not less than the reference temperature Tmin and not more than the maximum temperature Tmax.

  If the determination in step S3 is YES and the predicted outlet temperature is not less than the reference temperature Tmin and not more than Tmax, then in step S5, is slag fixed to the outlet 12a? Determine if. Specifically, the operator looks at the spout 12a from a window provided in the vicinity of the spout 12a and determines whether the slag is stuck.

  If the determination in step S5 is NO and the slag is not fixed to the tap hole 12a, the process is terminated as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S5 is YES and the slag is fixed to the spout 12a, that is, the spout is predicted in spite of the predicted spout being equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tmin. When the slag is fixed to 12a, in steps S6 to S10, as a fixing slag melting step for melting the fixed slag, a step of introducing a basicity adjusting agent into the melting part 12, and a burner 18 And heating the adhered slag.

  First, if the determination in step S5 is YES, the process proceeds to step S6, and the basicity adjusting agent is input from the basicity adjusting agent input port 12c to the upper outlet 12a by the basicity adjusting agent input device 17 To do. The added basicity adjusting agent is mixed in the slag near the taphole 12a to bring the melting point or viscosity of the slag into an appropriate state. Thereby, the slag adhering to the vicinity of the taphole 12a is melted and removed.

  In particular, most of the basicity adjusting agent flows into the secondary combustion section 14 together with the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting section 12. As described above, slag flows into the communication passage 14a of the secondary combustion unit 14. The communication passage 14a of the secondary combustion section 14 has a relatively low temperature as compared with the melting section 12a in which combustion is performed. Therefore, more slag is fixed in the communication passage 14a of the secondary combustion portion 14 than the melting portion 12a, and most of the basicity adjusting agent flows into the secondary combustion portion 14 and is fixed to the communication passage 14a. The slag that has been melted effectively.

  As described above, even when the slag is fixed to the tap hole 12a, if the predicted tap temperature is equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tmin, the chute 20 and the return path 60 through the tap port 12a. The fixed slag is removed by the basicity adjusting agent without further increasing the temperature of the tap port 12a by increasing the amount of hot gas flowing into the outlet, and the thermal deterioration of the chute 20 and the reflux path 60 is suppressed. The slag adhered while being removed is removed.

  The type of the basicity adjusting agent to be added is appropriately determined according to the type of waste that has been treated.

  The step of adding the basicity adjusting agent in step S6 is performed until the slag that has adhered in the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a is removed, or the amount of the basicity adjusting agent to be added is equal to or greater than a preset reference amount. Until it becomes. That is, in step S7, which is performed after step S6, it is determined whether slag is still adhered to the spout 12a. If this determination is NO and it is determined that the slag adhered to the taphole 12a has been removed, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination in step S7 is YES and the slag still adheres to the taphole 12a, then in step S8, whether or not the basicity adjusting agent added is equal to or greater than the reference amount. Determine. If the determination in step S8 is NO and the amount of basicity adjusting agent input is less than the reference amount, the process returns to step S6 and the basicity adjusting agent is input again. On the other hand, even though the determination in step S8 is YES and the predicted outlet temperature is equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tmin, and the basicity adjusting agent equal to or higher than the reference amount is input, When the slag adheres to the spout 12a, the introduction of the basicity adjusting agent is stopped and the process proceeds to step S9.

  In the step S9, the burner 18 is driven, and the slag adhered to the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a is heated by the burner 18 and removed by combustion. The burner 18 is driven until the adhered slag is completely removed. That is, in step S10 that proceeds after step S9, it is determined whether or not the slag is fixed. Then, step S9 is performed until this determination is NO, that is, it is determined that the slag is not fixed in the vicinity of the tap hole 12a, and when this determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S11 and the drive of the burner 18 is stopped. .

  As described above, even when slag is fixed to the tap hole 12a, when the amount of the basicity adjusting agent is more than the reference amount, the amount of the basicity adjusting agent is further increased. The slag adhered by the burner 18 is removed without excessive charging of the basicity adjusting agent. Further, the burner 18 is driven only when the amount of the basicity adjusting agent exceeds the maximum amount, and excessive driving of the burner 18 is suppressed, and energy for driving the burner 18 is suppressed. Can be kept small.

  As described above, in the present processing method, the suction force increasing step, the step of introducing the basicity adjusting agent, the burner 18 according to the temperature of the taphole 12a and the state of slag sticking in the vicinity of the tapport 12a. The step of heating the slag fixed by the step is carried out step by step, and while avoiding thermal deterioration of the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a, the chute 20 and the reflux path 60, it is possible to efficiently avoid slag fixation or Removal is performed.

  Here, the suction force reducing step can be omitted. That is, it is possible to omit the step of determining whether the predicted outlet temperature in step S3 is equal to or lower than the maximum temperature Tmax and the step of reducing the rotational speed of the fan 70 in step S4. For example, the rotational speed of the fan 70 may be increased stepwise, and the increase of the rotational speed of the fan may be stopped when the predicted outlet temperature becomes equal to or higher than the reference temperature Tmin. However, when the predicted suction temperature is equal to or higher than the maximum temperature Tmax, the suction force reduction step is performed to reduce the temperature of the gas flowing into the chute 20 and the reflux path 60 by reducing the rotational speed of the fan 70. By doing so, it is possible to more reliably suppress the thermal deterioration in the vicinity of the tap outlet 12a, the chute 20 and the reflux path 60.

  Further, before the temperature determination step, a basicity adjusting agent charging step of adding a basicity adjusting agent is performed, and the basicity adjusting agent charging step → temperature determination step → suction force increasing step (and suction force decreasing step) -> You may process in order of the process of heating the fixed slag. A flowchart of the processing method according to the second embodiment is shown in FIG.

  In the second embodiment, first, similarly to the first embodiment, in step S1, the fan 70 is driven and the gas in the chute 20 is sucked into the melting part 60 together with the operation of the melting system. At the same time, temperature detection by the temperature sensor 16 is started.

  Next, in step S22, the basicity adjusting agent charging device 17 inputs a basicity adjusting agent from the basicity adjusting agent charging port 12c to the top of the spout 12a (basicity adjusting agent charging step). In this basicity adjusting agent charging step, the amount of the basicity adjusting agent charged is increased until the slag adhered in the vicinity of the outlet 12a is removed (until the determination in step S23 is NO), or This is performed until the reference amount is set to be equal to or greater than a preset reference amount (until the determination in step S24 is YES).

  If it is determined that the slag has not been fixed in the vicinity of the taphole 12a after the basicity adjusting agent has been introduced (when the determination in step S23 is NO), the processing is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the slag is fixed in the vicinity of the taphole 12a even after the basic amount adjusting agent is added in the reference amount or more (if the determination in step S24 is YES), in step S25, the temperature The detection value of the sensor 16 is read, and the temperature of the gas at the outlet 12a is predicted from the detection value of the temperature sensor 16. In step S26, the temperature determination step is performed to determine whether the predicted outlet temperature is not less than the reference temperature Tmin and not more than the maximum temperature Tmax. If the determination in step S26 is NO, the suction force increasing step or the suction force decreasing step is executed in step S27, and the predicted outlet temperature is controlled to be not less than the reference temperature Tmin and not more than the maximum temperature Tmax.

  Thereafter, in step S28, it is determined whether or not the slag is fixed to the spout 12a. If the determination in step S28 is NO, the process ends. On the other hand, if the determination in step S28 is YES and the slag is fixed to the tap hole 12a, it is determined that the slag is not fixed in the vicinity of the tap hole 12a (in step S30). Until the determination of NO is NO), the slag adhered by the burner 18 is heated in step S29. That is, the burner 18 is driven, and the slag adhered to the vicinity of the spout 12a is burned and removed by the burner 18. When the slag is burned and removed (when the determination in step S30 is NO), the drive of the burner 18 is stopped (step S31).

  In the processing method according to the second embodiment configured as described above, the basicity adjusting agent is charged in a predetermined reference amount or more and the slag is fixed to the spout 12a. In addition, when the suction force increasing step is performed for the first time and the slag adhered by the basicity adjusting agent can be removed, the suction force of the fan 70 is not increased. Therefore, less energy is required to increase the suction force of the fan 70, and the cost is reduced.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the case where the process including each process such as the temperature determination process is performed by an operator has been described. However, the process is automatically performed using a computer or the like. You may comprise so that it may be implemented. For example, the detection value of the temperature sensor 16 is input to a computer, and the temperature determination step is performed by the computer. In addition, a camera is provided on the top of the spout 12a, and an image of the spout 12a taken by the camera at a predetermined time is transmitted to the computer. To automatically determine whether the slag is stuck. Then, based on these determination results, the computer sends a signal to the fan 70 to change the rotation speed of the fan 70, and sends a signal to the basicity adjusting agent charging device 17 to obtain the basicity adjusting agent. The burner 18 may be automatically driven, or a signal may be transmitted to the burner 18 to automatically drive the burner 18.

  Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the reflux path outlet 14 d is provided in the melting part 12, and the reflux path 60 may communicate the chute 20 and the melting part 12. . In this case, the gas that has passed through the reflux path 60 flows into the melting part 12 from the reflux path outlet 14d, and unburned substances in the gas are burned in the melting part 12. However, when the gas passing through the reflux path 60, that is, the gas discharged from the melting part 12 does not contain air, the unburned material in the gas does not sufficiently burn in the melting part 12, and the inside of the melting part 12 There is a risk of lowering the temperature. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable that a reflux path outlet 14d is provided in the secondary combustion section 14 as in the above-described embodiment, and the gas that has passed through the reflux path 60 flows into the secondary combustion section 14.

  Moreover, the position where the basicity adjusting agent is added is not limited to the position above the taphole 12a. For example, the upstream end of the melting part 12a may be used. Further, the basicity adjusting agent is introduced into the fluidized bed gasification furnace 6 provided upstream of the melting section 12a so that the basicity adjusting agent flows into the melting section 12a from the fluidized bed gasification furnace 6. Also good. However, as described above, if a basicity adjusting agent is introduced from above the taphole 12a toward the tapping port 12a, most of the basicity adjusting agent is accompanied by the high-temperature gas discharged from the melting portion 12a. However, since the temperature is relatively low and the amount of adhering slag is large, the slag is efficiently removed because it flows into the communication passage 14a of the secondary combustion section 14.

  Further, the suction means for sucking the hot gas in the melting part 12 into the reflux path 60 is not limited to the fan 70.

  The application of the melting system 50 is not limited to the waste treatment facility 1.
