Description
本発明は、樹皮(バーク)を焙焼(torrefaction)することによって得られる固体燃料の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a solid fuel obtained by torrefaction of bark.
近年、化石燃料の枯渇化及びCO2排出による地球温暖化への対策として、バイオマスを原料とする燃料の利用が検討されている。一般にバイオマスとは、エネルギー源又は工業原料として利用することのできる生物体をいい、代表的なものは木材、建築廃材、農産廃棄物等である。従来よりバイオマスを有効利用する方法が各種提案されている。その中でも、バイオマスを低コストで以って高付加価値物に転換できる有用な方法として、バイオマスを炭化して固体燃料を製造する方法がある。これは、バイオマスを炭化炉に投入して酸素欠乏雰囲気下で所定時間加熱して炭化処理し、固体燃料を製造するものである。 In recent years, as a countermeasure against global warming due to depletion of fossil fuels and CO 2 emissions, the use of fuels made from biomass has been studied. In general, biomass refers to a living organism that can be used as an energy source or an industrial raw material, and representative examples are wood, building waste, agricultural waste, and the like. Various methods for effectively utilizing biomass have been proposed. Among them, as a useful method capable of converting biomass into a high value-added product at a low cost, there is a method for producing a solid fuel by carbonizing biomass. In this method, biomass is put into a carbonization furnace and heated for a predetermined time in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere to be carbonized to produce a solid fuel.
このようにして製造された固体燃料は、発電設備や焼却設備等の燃焼設備の燃料に用いられるが、この場合、燃焼効率を向上させるために固体燃料を細かく粉砕して微粉燃料として用いることがある。固体燃料は単独であるいは石炭と混合して粉砕されるが、バイオマスのうち木質系バイオマスは大部分が繊維質であるため、粉砕性が悪く、燃焼効率の低下、粉砕機の運転性低下等の問題があった。 The solid fuel thus produced is used as a fuel for combustion facilities such as power generation facilities and incineration facilities. In this case, the solid fuel may be finely pulverized and used as a finely divided fuel in order to improve combustion efficiency. is there. Solid fuel is pulverized singly or mixed with coal, but woody biomass is mostly fibrous among biomass, so pulverization is poor, combustion efficiency decreases, pulverizer operability decreases, etc. There was a problem.
特許文献1には、材廃材、間伐材、庭木、建築廃材等の木質系バイオマスを240℃以上300℃以下の温度で、15分以上90分以下の時間で熱分解した後に粉砕する方法が開示されている。加熱温度が240℃より低い温度であると破砕性、粉砕性が向上せず、300℃よりも高い温度であると破砕、粉砕時にサブミクロンオーダーの微粉量が増大して粉体トラブルを生じ易くなるため好ましくないとしている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a method of pulverizing woody biomass such as waste wood, thinned wood, garden wood, construction waste, etc. at a temperature of 240 ° C or higher and 300 ° C or lower for 15 to 90 minutes. Has been. If the heating temperature is lower than 240 ° C, crushability and pulverization will not be improved. If the heating temperature is higher than 300 ° C, the amount of fine powder on the order of submicron will increase during crushing and pulverization, and powder trouble will easily occur. Therefore, it is not preferable.
また、特許文献2には穀類、実、種子を含むバイオマスを酸素濃度1〜5%、処理温度350〜400℃で30〜90分加熱して炭化処理することで、石炭と同等の粉砕性を有する固体燃料を製造する方法が開示されている。 Patent Document 2 discloses that biomass containing cereals, berries and seeds is carbonized by heating for 30 to 90 minutes at an oxygen concentration of 1 to 5% and a treatment temperature of 350 to 400 ° C. A method for producing a solid fuel having the same is disclosed.
しかしながら、上記方法で製造された炭化物は、物質収率及び熱量収率が低く、石炭に比較すると粉砕性が不十分であり、石炭と混合して粉砕処理して微粉炭ボイラーの燃料として使用することが困難である。 However, the carbide produced by the above method has a low material yield and a calorie yield, and is not sufficiently pulverizable compared to coal. It is mixed with coal and pulverized for use as a fuel for pulverized coal boilers. Is difficult.
本発明者等は、上記課題を解決するため鋭意検討した結果、樹皮(バーク)を原料として、酸素濃度10%以下で、かつ温度170〜350℃の条件下で焙焼(torrefaction)することによって、石炭と同等の粉砕性を有する固体燃料が製造できること見出した。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have used bark as a raw material, torrefaction under an oxygen concentration of 10% or less and a temperature of 170 to 350 ° C. The present inventors have found that a solid fuel having pulverizability equivalent to that of coal can be produced.
本発明の製造方法にて得られる固形燃料は、物質収率、熱量収率が高く、さらに石炭と同等の粉砕性を有するので、石炭と混合して粉砕処理して微粉炭ボイラーの燃料として使用することできる。 The solid fuel obtained by the production method of the present invention has high substance yield and high calorie yield, and also has the same pulverization properties as coal, so it is mixed with coal and pulverized for use as fuel for pulverized coal boilers. Can do.
本発明において、原料として樹皮(バーク)を使用する。樹皮はあまり利用されることなく、廃棄されることが多いの現状である。本発明者らは樹皮を有効利用することを検討したところ、樹皮を原料として焙焼した場合、木部のチップと比較して良好な性質を有する固形燃料が得られることが判明した。樹皮は木部と比較するとヘミセルロースの含有量が少ないので、焙焼した後の物質収率が高くなる。樹皮は0.1〜100mmのサイズに粉砕されたものを使用することが好ましく、0.1〜50mmのサイズのものを使用することがさらに好ましい。樹種は広葉樹、針葉樹のいずれも使用できるが、杉の樹皮が好ましい。なお、水分は10%以下とすることが好ましく、5%以下とすることがさらに好ましい。 In the present invention, bark is used as a raw material. Bark is not used much and is often discarded. As a result of studying the effective use of bark, the present inventors have found that solid fuel having good properties can be obtained when roasted using bark as a raw material, compared to chips of xylem. Since the bark has less hemicellulose content than the xylem, the substance yield after roasting is increased. The bark is preferably ground to a size of 0.1 to 100 mm, more preferably 0.1 to 50 mm. The tree species can be either hardwood or softwood, but cedar bark is preferred. The water content is preferably 10% or less, and more preferably 5% or less.
本発明における焙焼(torrefaction)とは、低酸素雰囲気下で、所謂炭化処理よりも低い温度で加熱する処理のことである。通常の木材の炭化処理の温度は400〜700℃であるが、焙焼はより低い温度で行われる。焙焼を行うことによって、その出発原料よりも高いエネルギー密度を有する固体燃料が得られる。 The torrefaction in the present invention is a process of heating in a low oxygen atmosphere at a temperature lower than a so-called carbonization process. The normal carbonization temperature of wood is 400-700 ° C, but roasting is performed at a lower temperature. By performing the roasting, a solid fuel having an energy density higher than that of the starting material can be obtained.
本発明における焙焼の処理条件は、酸素濃度10%以下で、温度170〜350℃である。酸素濃度が10%を超えると物質収率、熱量収率が低下する。また、温度が170℃未満では後述する粉砕性が不十分であり、350℃を超えると物質収率、熱量収率が低下する。温度は170〜300℃が好ましく、さらに200〜260℃がさらに好ましい。ヘミセルロースは270℃付近で熱分解が顕著になるのに対して、セルロースは355℃付近、リグニンは365℃付近で熱分解が顕著になるので、焙焼の処理温度を170〜300℃とすることで、ヘミセルロースを優先的に熱分解して、物質収率と粉砕性を両立できる固体燃料を製造することが可能になると推察される。 The roasting treatment conditions in the present invention are an oxygen concentration of 10% or less and a temperature of 170 to 350 ° C. When the oxygen concentration exceeds 10%, the substance yield and the calorie yield decrease. Further, if the temperature is less than 170 ° C., the grindability described later is insufficient, and if it exceeds 350 ° C., the substance yield and the calorie yield decrease. The temperature is preferably 170 to 300 ° C, more preferably 200 to 260 ° C. Hemicellulose is prone to pyrolysis around 270 ° C, while cellulose is around 355 ° C and lignin is prone to pyrolysis around 365 ° C, so the baking temperature should be 170-300 ° C. Thus, it is speculated that hemicellulose can be preferentially pyrolyzed to produce a solid fuel that can achieve both material yield and pulverization.
本発明において、焙焼処理を行うための装置は特に限定されないが、ロータリーキルン、竪型炉が好ましい。なお、酸素濃度を10%以下に調整するため装置内を窒素等の不活性ガスで置換することが好ましい。処理時間は15〜180分が好ましい。 In the present invention, the apparatus for performing the roasting treatment is not particularly limited, but a rotary kiln and a vertical furnace are preferable. In order to adjust the oxygen concentration to 10% or less, the inside of the apparatus is preferably replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen. The treatment time is preferably 15 to 180 minutes.
本発明で得られる固体燃料は原料の樹皮に対して物質収率で60〜90%、熱量収率で70〜95%である。また、粉砕性の指標であるJIS M 8801:2004に規定のハードグローブ粉砕性指数(HGI)は30〜70が好ましく、40〜60がさらに好ましい。HGIが高くなるほど、粉砕され易いことを示している。HGIが30〜70の範囲であれば、石炭と混合して粉砕処理することが可能となる。石炭のHGIは通常40〜70であるので、本発明で得られた固体燃料は石炭と同等の粉砕性を有している。 The solid fuel obtained in the present invention has a material yield of 60 to 90% and a calorific yield of 70 to 95% with respect to the raw bark. The hard glove grindability index (HGI) defined in JIS M 8801: 2004, which is an index of grindability, is preferably 30 to 70, more preferably 40 to 60. It shows that it becomes easy to grind, so that HGI becomes high. If HGI is in the range of 30 to 70, it can be mixed with coal and pulverized. Since the HGI of coal is usually 40 to 70, the solid fuel obtained in the present invention has the same pulverization properties as coal.
