Description
- The present invention relates to a coal for a boiler fuel, which is used for a fuel for a coal-fired boiler.
- For a coal-fired boiler, which uses a coal as a fuel for combustion, because flue gas generated from the combustion of the coal contains sulfur oxide (SOx), the flue gas is discharged after sulfur oxide is removed from the flue gas.
- For example,
Patent Document 1 described below proposes the removal of sulfur oxide from flue gas as follows: super fine particles (1 to 100 nm) of calcium oxide (CaO) are generated by laser irradiation heating or plasma heating of a calcium compound such as calcium oxide (CaO), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2); the super fine particles are injected into the inside of a furnace or the inside of a flue to react with sulfur oxide in the flue gas, thus the sulfur oxide is removed from the flue gas. - Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H05-269341A
- Patent Document 2: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H07-004610A
- Patent Document 3: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H09-126411A
- However, in the method proposed in the
Patent Document 1, because it was necessary to install a laser ablation device, a high-frequency inductively coupled plasma generating device, an arc-plasma generating device and the like in the boiler device, the device cost became very high for a large-volume coal-fired boiler, and it was not practical. - Therefore, it is a strong demand to enable simple generation of super fine particles of calcium oxide at low cost.
- The first invention to solve the problem described above is a coal for a boiler fuel used as a fuel for a coal-fired boiler. The coal for a boiler fuel comprises a reformed coal (ion-exchanged coal), the reformed coal comprising a raw coal and Ca ion-exchanged coal. The raw coal comprises a lignite or a subbituminous coal and the amount of calcium is not less than an equimolar amount relative to the molar amount of sulfur in the raw coal.
- The second invention is the coal for a boiler fuel according to the first invention, in which the reformed coal further ion-exchanges iron. The amount ratio of iron is in a range from 0.1 to 5 wt % relative to dry-weight of the raw coal.
- The third invention is the coal for a boiler fuel according to the first or the second invention, in which the reformed coal includes calcium ion exchanged on the raw coal in a range from 4 to 10 wt % relative to dry-weight of the raw coal, and the coal for a boiler fuel comprises a mixed coal which is a mixture of a basic coal comprising at least one kind from a bituminous coal, a subbituminous coal and a lignite and the reformed coal, and the amount ratio of the reformed coal is in a range from 10 to 50 wt %.
- The fourth invention is the coal for a boiler fuel according to any of the inventions from the first to the third invention, in which the coal for a boiler fuel is subjected to pyrolysis treatment.
- The fifth invention is the coal for a boiler fuel according to the fourth invention, in which the coal for a boiler fuel is further subjected to deactivation treatment.
- A coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention enables the presence of calcium oxide (CaO) as super fine particles (particle size: a few to a few tens of nanometers) from a calcium (Ca) portion ion-exchanged on the coal through combustion at high temperature, when the coal for a boiler fuel is injected and supplied to a boiler furnace as a fuel and subjected to the combustion at high temperature to become flue gas. Thus, the coal for a boiler fuel according to the present invention facilitates the generation of super fine particles of calcium oxide at low cost, and reduces the cost for the boiler device greatly.

- The first embodiment of the coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention will be described based on
FIGS. 1 to 3 . - A coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment is a coal for a boiler fuel used as a fuel for a coal-fired boiler. The coal for a boiler fuel comprises a reformed coal, which includes a raw coal comprising a lignite or a subbituminous coal, and calcium (Ca) ion-exchanged on the raw coal. The amount of calcium is not less than an equimolar amount relative to the molar amount of sulfur (S) in the raw coal.
- The coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment can be obtained easily as illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 2 as follows:water 1, theraw coal 2 sulfur content 0.4 to 1.2 wt % (when dried)), the particle size (about 50 mm) of which is adjusted by pulverization (to the maximum particle size about 5 mm), and acalcium compound 3 such as calcium oxide (CaO), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), are introduced into atreatment tank 111 of atreatment device 110 and stirred with a stirring blade 112 (pH 8 to 12). Calcium ion is eluted from thecalcium compound 3 into thewater 1 and contained in thewater 1. By the contact with theraw coal 2, the calcium ion undergoes ion exchange with hydrogen ion of a hydroxy group (—OH) or a carboxyl group (—COOH) present on theraw coal 2. Thus, the calcium is ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 at the amount described above (S11 inFIG. 1 ). This is followed by separation such as filtration from the interior of thetreatment tank 111 to the exterior (S12 inFIG. 1 ), and water washing treatment as necessary (S13 inFIG. 1 ). This is further followed by filtration treatment (S14 inFIG. 1 ). - The coal for a boiler fuel (reformed coal) 10 manufactured as described above is subjected to drying and pulverization (particle size: about 0.1 mm), injected and supplied as a fuel into the inside of a
boiler furnace 211 as illustrated inFIG. 3 , and subjected to combustion at high temperature (temperature: 1500 to 1700° C.) to produceflue gas 6. - At this point, sulfur oxide (SOx) generated by the combustion at high temperature from sulfur (S) portion contained in the coal for a
boiler fuel 10 exists in theflue gas 6. In addition, calcium oxide (CaO) generated from calcium (Ca) portion ion-exchanged on the coal for aboiler fuel 10 exists as the super fine particles (particle size: a few to a few tens of nanometers). - Then, sulfur oxide in the
flue gas 6 can easily react with calcium oxide, which has a very large specific surface area due to being super fine particles, to produce calcium sulfate (CaSO4). - The
flue gas 6, sulfur oxide in which is converted to calcium sulfate, is cooled by heat exchange at aheat exchanger 212, and asolid content 7 containing the calcium sulfate and the like is removed by aparticle removal device 213, followed by venting from astack 214 to the exterior. - In other words, conventionally, the super fine particles (1 to 100 nm) of calcium oxide (CaO) are generated by laser irradiation heating or plasma heating of a calcium compound such as calcium oxide (CaO), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), and the super fine particles are injected into the inside of the furnace or the inside of the flue to react with sulfur oxide (SOx) in the flue gas. Thus, the sulfur oxide in the flue gas is removed. In the present embodiment, calcium oxide (CaO) of super fine particles (a few to a few tens of nanometers) are generated in the
flue gas 6 by combustion at high temperature using the coal for a boiler fuel (reformed coal) 10, in which calcium (Ca) is ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 at the amount described above, as a fuel for theboiler furnace 211 and the super fine particles are reacted with sulfur oxide (SOx) in theflue gas 6. Thus, the sulfur oxide in theflue gas 6 is removed. - Therefore, conventionally, it is necessary to install a laser ablation device, a high-frequency inductively coupled plasma generating device, an arc-plasma generating device and the like in the boiler device. In the present embodiment, not only there is no need to install devices described above, but also there is no need to install a desulfurization device in the boiler device.
- Therefore, according to the coal for a
boiler fuel 10 pertaining to the present embodiment, it is possible to generate super fine particle (a few to a few tens of nanometers) of calcium oxide (CaO) easily at low cost and to reduce the cost of the boiler device greatly. - Meanwhile, it is necessary that the amount of calcium ion-exchanged on the
raw coal 2 is not less than the equimolar amount relative to the molar amount of sulfur in theraw coal 2. This is because sulfur oxide generated by the combustion may not be removed sufficiently if the amount of calcium ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 is less than the equimolar amount relative to the molar amount of sulfur in theraw coal 2. - Also, though a lignite or a sub-bituminous coal can be used as the
raw coal 2, it is difficult to use a bituminous coal as theraw coal 2. This is because a lignite or a sub-bituminous coal has a hydroxy group (-OH), a carboxyl group (—COOH) and the like in the amount necessary to ion exchange with calcium ion and to ion-exchange calcium, but a bituminous coal does not have enough groups described above to ion-exchange calcium sufficiently. - The second embodiment of the coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention will be described based on
FIGS. 4 and 5 . Note that, for parts that are the same as the above embodiment, the same reference numerals as those used in the description of the above embodiment are used, and therefore duplicate descriptions of the above embodiment are omitted. - A coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment comprises the reformed coal, in which the
raw coal 2 ion-exchanges calcium (Ca) in an amount not less than the equimolar amount relative to the molar amount of sulfur (S) in theraw coal 2 and, in addition, further ion-exchanges iron (Fe) in a range from 0.1 to 5 wt % relative to a dry-weight of theraw coal 2. - The coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment can be obtained easily as illustrated in
FIG. 4 as follows:water 1, theraw coal 2, thecalcium compound 3 and aniron compound 4 such as iron sulfate (FeSO4) and the like are introduced into thetreatment tank 111 of thetreatment device 110 and stirred with the stirring blade 112 (pH 8 to 12), in the same manner as described in the embodiment above. While calcium ion is eluted from thecalcium compound 3 into thewater 1 and contained in thewater 1, iron ion is eluted from theiron compound 4 into thewater 1 and contained in thewater 1. By the contact with theraw coal 2, the calcium ion and the iron ion undergo ion exchange with hydrogen ion of a hydroxy group (-OH) or a carboxyl group (—COOH) present on theraw coal 2. Thus, the calcium and the iron are ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 at the amount described above, respectively (S11 inFIG. 4 ). This is followed by separation such as filtration from the interior of thetreatment tank 111 to the exterior (S12 inFIG. 4 ), and water washing treatment optionally (S13 inFIG. 4 ). This is further followed by filtration treatment (S14 inFIG. 4 ). - The coal for a boiler fuel (reformed coal) 20 manufactured as described above is subjected to drying and pulverization (particle size: about 0.1 mm), injected and supplied as a fuel into the inside of the
boiler furnace 211 as illustrated inFIG. 5 , and subjected to combustion at high temperature (temperature: 1500 to 1700° C.) to produceflue gas 6. - At this point, in addition to sulfur oxide (SOx) and calcium oxide present in the
flue gas 6 in the same manner as in the embodiment described above, iron oxide (FeO) generated from iron (Fe) portion ion-exchanged on the coal for aboiler fuel 20 exists as super fine particles (particle size: a few to a few tens of nanometers). - Then, sulfur oxide in the
flue gas 6 reacts with calcium oxide to produce calcium sulfate (CaSO4), as in the same manner as the embodiment described above. On the other hand, iron oxide in theflue gas 6, which has a very large specific surface area due to being super fine particles, contacts with carbon portion of the coal for aboiler fuel 20 with very high probability to complete combustion (oxidation) of the carbon portion by catalytic function. - The
flue gas 6, in which sulfur oxide is converted to calcium sulfate while carbon portion is combusted (oxidized) thoroughly, is cooled by heat exchange at theheat exchanger 212. Then, asolid material 8 containing the calcium sulfate and the like and little unburned carbon portion is removed fromflue gas 6 at theparticle removal device 213 and theflue gas 6 is discharged from thestack 214 to the exterior. - In other words, in the present embodiment, iron oxide (FeO) of super fine particles (a few to a few tens of nanometers) in addition to calcium oxide (CaO) are generated in the
flue gas 6 by combustion at high temperature using the boiler fuel (reformed coal) 20, in which not only calcium (Ca), but also iron (Fe) are ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2, as a fuel in theboiler furnace 211. Thereby, sulfur oxide is removed from theflue gas 6 as well as carbon portion is thoroughly combusted (oxidized). - Therefore, the present embodiment can improve the combustion efficiency inside the
boiler furnace 211 compared with that of the embodiment described above. - Therefore, according to the coal for a
boiler fuel 20 of the present embodiment, it is possible not only to gain the same effect as in the embodiment described above, but also to produce less unburned carbon portion remained in thesolid material 8 that is collected in theparticle removal device 213 than that of the embodiment described above. - Meanwhile, the amount of iron ion-exchanged on the
raw coal 2 is preferably in a range from 0.1 to 5 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2. The reasons are following: If the amount of iron ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 is less than 0.1 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2, the effect described above does not manifest itself sufficiently. If the amount of iron ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 is more than 5 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2, it takes too much time to perform the ion-exchanging treatment, as well as the improvement of the combustion efficiency reaches the threshold. - The third embodiment of the coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention will be described based on
FIGS. 6 and 7 . Note that, for parts that are the same as the above embodiment, the same reference numerals as those used in the description of the above embodiment are used, and therefore duplicate descriptions of the above embodiment are omitted. - A coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment comprises a mixed coal of the reformed coal and a basic coal and the amount ratio of the reformed coal is in a range from 10 to 50 wt % in the mixed coal. In the reformed coal, the
raw coal 2 ion-exchanges calcium (Ca) in an amount in a range from 4 to 10 wt % relative to the dry-weight of the raw coal 2 (not less than the equimolar amount relative to the molar amount of sulfur (S)), and, in addition, further ion-exchanges iron (Fe) in a range from 0.1 to 5 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2. The basic coal comprises at least one kind from a bituminous coal, a subbituminous coal and a lignite. - The coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment can be obtained easily as illustrated in
FIG. 6 as follows:water 1, theraw coal 2, thecalcium compound 3 and aniron compound 4 such as iron sulfate (FeSO4) and the like are introduced into thetreatment tank 111 of thetreatment device 110 and stirred with the stirring blade 112 (pH 8 to 12), in the same manner as described in the embodiment above. While calcium ion is eluted from thecalcium compound 3 into thewater 1 and contained in thewater 1, iron ion is eluted from theiron compound 4 into thewater 1 and contained in thewater 1. By the contact with theraw coal 2, the calcium ion and the iron ion undergo ion exchange with hydrogen ion of a hydroxy group (-OH) or a carboxyl group (—COOH) present on theraw coal 2. Thus, the calcium and the iron are ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 at the amount described above, respectively (S11 inFIG. 6 ). This is followed by separation such as filtration from the interior of thetreatment tank 111 to the exterior (S12 inFIG. 6 ), and water washing treatment optionally (S13 inFIG. 6 ). This is further followed by filtration treatment (S14 inFIG. 6 ). Then the reformedcoal 30 is obtained. The coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment can be obtained easily by mixing treatment (S15 inFIG. 6 ) of abasic coal 5 comprising at least one kind from a bituminous coal, a subbituminous coal and a lignite, and the reformedcoal 30, so that the amount ratio of the reformedcoal 30 is in a range from 10 to 50 wt %. - The coal for a boiler fuel (mixed coal) 40 manufactured as described above is subjected to drying and pulverization (particle size: about 0.1 mm), then injected and supplied as a fuel into the inside of a
boiler furnace 211 as illustrated inFIG. 7 , and subjected to combustion at high temperature (temperature: 1500 to 1700° C.) to produceflue gas 6. - At this point, sulfur oxide (SOx) produced by the combustion at high temperature from sulfur (S) portion contained in the coal for a
boiler fuel 40 exists in theflue gas 6. In addition, calcium oxide (CaO) generated from calcium (Ca) portion and iron oxide (FeO) generated from iron (Fe) portion ion-exchanged on the reformedcoal 30 in the coal for aboiler fuel 40 exist as the super fine particles (particle size: a few to a few tens of nanometers). - Then, calcium oxide in the
flue gas 6 reacts with sulfur oxide (SOx) generated from sulfur (S) portion contained in the reformedcoal 30 and thebasic coal 5 to produce calcium sulfate (CaSO4). In addition, iron oxide in theflue gas 6 contacts with carbon portion in the reformedcoal 30 and thebasic coal 5 at high probability to combust (oxidize) the carbon portion thoroughly by the catalytic function. - The
flue gas 6, in which sulfur oxide is converted to calcium sulfate while carbon portion is combusted (oxidized) thoroughly, is cooled by heat exchange at theheat exchanger 212 in the same manner as in the embodiment described above. Then, thesolid material 8 is removed fromflue gas 6 at theparticle removal device 213 and theflue gas 6 is discharged from thestack 214 to exterior. - In other words, in the present embodiment, calcium in the molar amount not less than the sum of the molar amount of sulfur portion in the
raw coal 2 and the molar amount of sulfur portion in thebasic coal 5 is ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2. Thereby, sulfur oxide generated from the sulfur portion of thebasic coal 5, which does not ion-exchange calcium, can be converted to calcium sulfate and removed from theflue gas 6. - Therefore, in the present embodiment, the
basic coal 5, which does not ion-exchange calcium can be supplied as a fuel in theboiler furnace 211, and it is possible to reduce the usage amount of the reformedcoal 30, which can be obtained by ion-exchanging treatment of calcium on theraw coal 2. - Therefore, according to the coal for a
boiler fuel 40 of the present embodiment, it is possible not only to gain the same effect as in the embodiment described above, but also to produce the coal for a boiler fuel more efficiently than the embodiment described above and to reduce the cost of manufacturing. - Meanwhile, the ratio of the reformed
coal 30 in the boiler fuel (mixed coal) 40 is preferably in a range from 10 to 50 wt %. In other words, the ratio of thebasic coal 5 in the boiler fuel (mixed coal) 40 is preferably in a range from 50 to 90 wt %. The reasons are following: If the ratio of thebasic coal 5 in the boiler fuel (mixed coal) 40 is less than 50 wt %, it is difficult to improve manufacturing efficiency of the coal for aboiler fuel 40 greatly. If the ratio of thebasic coal 5 in the boiler fuel (mixed coal) 40 is more than 90 wt %, it may not be possible to convert sulfur oxide generated from the sulfur portion of thebasic coal 5 to calcium sulfate sufficiently. - Meanwhile, the amount of calcium ion-exchanged on the
raw coal 2 is preferably in a range from 4 to 10 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2. The reasons are following: If the amount of calcium ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 is less than 4 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2, it may not be possible to convert sulfur oxide generated from the sulfur portion of thebasic coal 5 to calcium sulfate sufficiently, depending on the characteristics of thebasic coal 5 or the mix ratio with thebasic coal 5. If the amount of calcium ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 is more than 10 wt % relative to the dry-weight of theraw coal 2, it takes too much time to perform the ion-exchanging treatment (S11) on theraw coal 2, which brings about the reduction in manufacturing efficiency, and it may become difficult to reduce manufacturing cost. - The fourth embodiment of the coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention will be described based on
FIG. 8 . Note that, for parts that are the same as the above embodiment, the same reference numerals as those used in the description of the above embodiment are used, and therefore duplicate descriptions of the above embodiment are omitted. - The coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment is the
mixed coal 40 subjected to pyrolysis treatment and, in addition, deactivation treatment. - The coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present embodiment is easily obtained as follows: As illustrated in
FIG. 8 , themixed coal 40 obtained by the same manner as in the third embodiment described above is placed in the drying device then heated and dried (about 100° C.) and water component is removed (S21 inFIG. 8 ). This is followed by transfer to the inside of the pyrolysis device and heating and pyrolysis (about 400° C.) in inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas is performed to remove volatile components including mercury (Hg) and the like (S22 inFIG. 8 ). This pyrolyzed coal is transferred to the inside of the cooling device to be cooled (about 50° C.) (S23 inFIG. 8 ), then transferred to the inside of the deactivation treatment device. Then the activated surface is subjected to deactivation treatment in the atmosphere for the deactivation (oxygen concentration: a few to 21 volume %) (S24 inFIG. 8 ), followed by shaping to a particulate shape in the briquetting device (S25 inFIG. 8 ). - In other words, the coal for a
boiler fuel 50 pertaining to the present embodiment is obtained by subjecting the boiler fuel (mixed coal) 40 further to the pyrolysis treatment and, in addition, to the deactivation treatment. - Therefore, because most part of the volatile components such as mercury is removed beforehand for the coal for a
boiler fuel 50 pertaining to the present embodiment, mercury content in theflue gas 6 can be greatly reduced and suppressed down to not more than the exhaust regulation concentration when the coal for aboiler fuel 50 is supplied and combusted as a fuel in theboiler furnace 211. - Therefore, not only that the same effects as in the case of the embodiments described above can be obtained, but also that the mercury content in the
flue gas 6 can be greatly reduced for the coal for aboiler fuel 50 pertaining to the present embodiment. Thereby, there is no need to install a mercury removal device in the boiler device, and the cost for the boiler device can be further reduced. - Meanwhile, as the
calcium compound 3, not only particles, particulate bodies and the like such as calcium oxide (CaO), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) can be used, but also, waste materials containing calcium such as, for example, gypsum waste, cement waste, seashells, flyash, and iron and steel slag can be used. - Particularly, it is very preferable that calcium sulfate in the
solid materials particle removal device 213 is used as thecalcium compound 3, because the source of calcium can be recycled and the generation of the waste can be greatly suppressed. Similarly, it is very preferable that iron sulfate in thesolid materials 8 collected at theparticle removal device 213 is used as theiron compound 4, because the source of iron can be recycled and the generation of the waste can be greatly suppressed. - When the waste materials described above are used as the
calcium compound 3, it is very preferable to perform the following: As illustrated inFIG. 9 , for example, whilewater 1 and theraw coal 2 are introduced into thetreatment tank 111 of a treatment device 210 and stirred by astirring blade 112,water 1 and thecalcium compound 3 are introduced into theelution tank 213 and stirred by thestirring blade 214. Thereby, calcium ion is eluted from thecalcium compound 3 and contained in thewater 1 in theelution tank 213. While thewater 1 is fed to the inside of thetreatment tank 111 from theelution tank 213 through the filter 213 a, the same amount ofwater 1 fed into the inside of thetreatment tank 111 is returned to the inside of theelution tank 213 from thetreatment tank 111 through thefilter 111 a. Thereby, calcium can be ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2 without the calcium compound 3 (waste material) coexisting with theraw coal 2 and the calcium compound 3 (waster material) and theraw coal 2 can be easily separated. - At this time, if calcium ion is not easily eluted from the calcium compound 3 (waste material) and
water 1 does not easily exhibitpH 8 to 12, a pH adjusting agent (e.g. calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and the like) 9 can be added to the inside of thetreatment tank 111 to adjust the pH of thewater 1 topH 8 to 12. - In the third and fourth embodiments described above, the mixed coal (the coal for a boiler fuel) 40 that is a mixture of the reformed
coal 30, in which calcium and iron are ion-exchanged on theraw coal 2, and thebasic coal 5, is explained. However, as the other embodiment, for example, the mixed coal (the coal for a boiler fuel) that is a mixture of the reformed coal, in which calcium is ion-exchanged, but iron is not ion-exchanged, on theraw coal 2, and thebasic coal 5, can be used in the same manner as in the embodiments described above. - In the fourth embodiment described above, the coal for a
boiler fuel 50 is manufactured as follows: The mixed coal (the coal for a boiler fuel) 40 is heated and dried in the drying device, and transferred to the inside of the pyrolysis device and heated and pyrolyzed; Then, the pyrolyzed coal is transferred to the inside of the cooling device and cooled, transferred to the inside of the deactivation treatment device and subjected to the deactivation treatment, then shaped to a particulate shape in the briquetting device. However, as the other embodiment, for example, the coal for aboiler fuel 50 can be manufactured as follows: The reformedcoal 30 and thebasic coal 5 are introduced into the drying device while mixing, and heated and dried, then transferred to the inside of the pyrolysis device and dried and pyrolyzed. Then, the pyrolyzed coal is transferred to the inside of the cooling device and cooled, transferred to the inside of the deactivation treatment device and subjected to the deactivation treatment, then shaped to the particulate shape in the briquetting device. - Also, in the fourth embodiment described above, it is described that the coal for a
boiler fuel 50 is manufactured by subjecting the mixed coal (the coal for a boiler fuel) 40, which is a mixture of the reformedcoal 30 and thebasic coal 5, to the pyrolysis treatment and the deactivation treatment. However, as the other embodiment, it is possible to obtain the coal for a boiler fuel by subjecting the reformedcoal - Also, in the fourth embodiment described above, it is described that the coal for a
boiler fuel 50 is manufactured by subjecting the coal for aboiler fuel 40 to pyrolysis treatment and deactivation treatment. However, as the other embodiment, it is possible to omit the deactivation treatment if the coal for a boiler fuel is used as a boiler fuel in a relatively short term after the pyrolysis treatment without long-distance transportation, for example. - As described above, the coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention can be realized, by combining the optional technical aspects described in the individual embodiments described above.
- The following verification tests were performed to verify the effects of the coal for a boiler fuel pertaining to the present invention.
- A reformed coal (15 wt %), in which a raw coal comprising a lignite ion-exchanging calcium (8 wt %), and a basic coal (85 wt %) comprising a lignite were introduced in a dryer to be heated and dried while being mixed, then were transferred to the inside of a pyrolysis device to be heated and pyrolyzed. Subsequently, the pyrolyzed coal was transferred into the inside of a cooling device to be cooled, transferred into the inside of a deactivation treatment device to be subjected to deactivation treatment and shaped to a particulate shape in a briquetting device. Thus, the coal for a boiler fuel (Test substance A) was obtained.
- A reformed coal (15 wt %), in which a raw coal comprising a lignite ion-exchanging iron (2 wt %) as well as ion-exchanging calcium (6 wt %), and a basic coal (85 wt %) comprising a lignite were introduced in a dryer to be heated and dried while being mixed, then were transferred to the inside of a pyrolysis device to be heated and pyrolyzed. Subsequently, the pyrolyzed coal was transferred into the inside of a cooling device to be cooled, transferred into the inside of a deactivation treatment device to be subjected to deactivation treatment and shaped in a briquetting device to be a particulate shape. Thus, the coal for a boiler fuel (Test substance B) was obtained.
- A basic coal (100 wt %) comprising a lignite was introduced in a dryer to be heated and dried while being mixed, then was transferred to the inside of a pyrolysis device to be heated and pyrolyzed. Subsequently, the pyrolyzed coal was transferred into the inside of a cooling device to be cooled, transferred into the inside of a deactivation treatment device to be subjected to deactivation treatment and shaped in a briquetting device to be a particulate shape. Thus, the coal for a boiler fuel (Comparative substance) was obtained.
- The test substances A and B described above and the comparative substance described above were each injected into the inside of a boiler furnace and combusted at high temperature as a fuel. The concentration of sulfur dioxide in the flue gas generated and the ratio of unburned carbon in the solid material collected were obtained separately.
- The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
-
TABLE 1 SO2 concentration Ratio of unburned carbon (ppm) (wt %) Test substance A 90 2.3 Test substance B 95 0.5 Comparative 980 3.5 substance - As shown in Table 1 above, for the comparative substance (Ca and Fe were not ion-exchanged), the concentration of sulfur dioxide greatly exceeded the reference value (1,000 ppm) in the exhausted gas, and the ratio of unburned carbon in the solid material collected was relatively large.
- In contrast, for the test substance A (ion-exchanging Ca only) and the test substance B (ion-exchanging both Ca and Fe), it was confirmed that the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the flue gas can be made less than the reference value (100 ppm). Furthermore, for the test substance B, it was confirmed that the ratio of unburned carbon in the solid material collected can be made very small.
- A coal for a boiler fuel according to the present invention facilitates the generation of super fine particles of calcium oxide at low cost, and reduces the cost for the boiler device greatly. Therefore, it can be utilized very beneficially in the industry.
