Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive to suppress incombustible components in a boiler and to improve dust collection efficiency by an electric dust collector, by impregnating or blending a solid fuel with a combustion improver obtained by adding an iron complex ion-forming substance to an aqueous solution of an iron salt and then neutralizing the solution. CONSTITUTION:An iron complex ion-forming substance[e.g., citric acid, tartaric acid, sodium acetate, oxalic acid, triethanolamine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (most preferably citric acid), etc.,] is added to an aqueous solution of iron salt and the solution is neutralized with a neutralizing agent such as NaOH, NH4OH, etc., into a pH range stable against corrosion, >=pH5 to give a combustion improver. The combustion improver is impregnated into or blended with a solid fuel such as coal or coke, etc.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a solid fuel combustion method, and more specifically,
This invention relates to a combustion method for solid furnace diameters aimed at suppressing unburned solid fuel in stone-return-fired boilers and petroleum coke-fired boilers and improving dust collection efficiency through electrostatic precipitation.

In recent years, solid fuels such as coal and petroleum coke have come into widespread use as alternative fuels to petroleum. However, coal and petroleum coke have less volatile content than liquid fuels such as heavy oil, so they have poor combustibility and are used as boiler fuel after being pulverized, but the unburned content still remains at a few percent to several percent. In order to achieve this, boilers using petroleum coke as feedstock must use oil or gas combustion for auxiliary combustion, which is not only cumbersome in terms of operation but also unsatisfactory in terms of economy.

One of the ways to reduce the use of oil and gas for combustion support is to overuse combustion improvers.
It is well known that metal bars such as i, Mn, and Fe, alkali metal compounds such as K and Na, and alkaline earth metal compounds such as Ca and Ba are used. Iron-based combustion improvers have attracted attention and are commercially available because they have little effect on the activity of the denitrification catalyst.

There are two types of iron-based combustion improvers: mineral oil-soluble and water-soluble. Typical oil-soluble ones include iron naphthenate and iron octylate, which are used by mixing with liquid fuels such as heavy oil. On the other hand, water-soluble materials are used by being impregnated and mixed with solid fuels such as coal and coke.

When using combustion aids such as coal and coke, in the case of oil co-firing, the method is to add an oil-soluble combustion aid to the oil, but in the case of gas co-firing, it is difficult to add lj to the gas. Usually, a water-soluble combustion improver is impregnated and mixed with coal or coke.

In addition, iron-based oil-soluble combustion improvers are not only expensive, but also generate sludge when mixed with heavy oil, which can cause fatal troubles in boiler operation such as blockages in the strainer or heavy oil burner of the first oil line. There are cases where it will be stopped.
