Abstract
Apparatus for continuous-line coal desulfurization operations enabling fluid treatment, including gaseous treatment, of pulverant work product. Movement of the work product along a horizontally-oriented, longitudinally-extended treatment path is carried out mechanically, without requiring pressure impulsion, by a ribbon band auger (12, 102, 116) within a housing (10). Additives can be introduced from either longitudinal end (42, 44) of the housing and injection is distributed (74, 75, 78, 110) along the treatment path. The work product is raised vertically within the housing by paddles (52, 54) integral with the ribbon band auger to expand the space occupied by the work product as it is moved along the treatment path and facilitate reaction by direct impingement of injected additives. Variable speed drive (86, 106, 126) is provided to control movement rate along the treatment path and, by providing for introduction of additives and driving of the auger from either longitudinal end, substantially identical reaction chamber housings (134, 136) can be stacked one above the other for sequential reaction treatments or extension of treatment times.
Description
STRUCTURE FOR CONTINUOUS-LINE COAL DESULFURIZATION REACTION
/ This invention relates to continuous-line treat¬ ment of pulverant solids. More particularly, this inven¬ tion is concerned with apparatus defining a longitudinally- extended reaction chamber and providing for continuous move ment of work product containing pulverant coal through such chamber free of pneumatic impulsion and in a manner enablin use of fluid reactants for extraction, of sulfur from the
pulverant coal and conversion of extracted sulfur into useful by-product readily separable from the coal. Batch treatment processes and apparatus for desulfurization of coal can rely on ease of adjustment of process steps and times in adapting to variables encoun¬ tered with differing batches in order to accomplish desired results. However, batch processing, while practical for lab development purposes, has disadvantages for commercial purposes in product handling and achieving economically acceptable production rates.
The present invention enables treatment with fluids including gaseous treatment while providing for mechanically controlled continuous movement of work product eliminating product handling problems and providing for commercially economic production rates.
Prior art teachings attempting to accomplish reaction of pulverant coal and fluid materials have relied
m WHO
on tortuous path structures and pressure means for moving pulverants. Also, in general, such apparatus have not been adaptable to continuous-line operations relying rather on batch handling before and after treatment. The present invention provides desired interaction of pulverant solids and fluid additives without requiring pressure for movement of solids nor complex
tortuous path structure while maintaining rate of movement. Exposure time is controlled to provide for sequential
continuous-line treatments, including gaseous extraction of sulfur from coal coupled to continuous-line treatment using a fluid reactant to convert extracted sulfur to useful by-product readily separable from the coal.
Chemical reactions involved in such extraction of sulfur and conversion treatment are disclosed in copending U.S. Application Serial No. 223,274, entitled "REMOVING SULFUR AND BΞNEFICIATING COAL", filed January 8, 1981; and continuous-line operations for producing "compliance" coal and useful by-product are disclosed in copending Applicatio Serial No. PCT/ , entitled "CONTINUOUS-LINE
OPERATIONS FOR DESULFURIZING COAL", filed concurrently herewith; the disclosures of such copending applications ar incorporated herein by reference.
Extraction of sulfur during continuous movement o raw pulverant .coal is made practicable by mechanically pro¬
viding for expansion of the space occupied by the pulverant
coal during its passage through the reaction zone, by pro¬ viding for repeated direct access of fluid reactant to all surfaces of the pulverant work product without complexities of pneumatic movement or tortuous path structures, and by providing for selection of treatment times.
Direct impingement of reactant gas is provided along an elongated travel path using economic, problem-free movement measures and structures. Further, the apparatus
provides for continuous agitation and movement of the work product for subsequent conversion of extracted sulfur to separable sulfur compounds. In addition, provision is made for limiting the temperature resulting from exothermic gaseous reactions.

and FIG. 10 is a schematic perspective view showing a plurality of reaction chamber structures of the embodimen of FIGS. 1-3 in a parallel-path series-stacked combination made available with the present invention*.
The longitudinally-extended reaction chamber structure of the present invention is defined by a housing means circumscribing a helical-path ribbon band auger for conveying work product by rotation within the housing means. Both longitudinal movement of work product and a tumbling,
cascading action, transverse to such continuous-line longi- tudinal movement, are provided in a manner which facilitate reaction with additives to achieve desired results.
The housing means has a cross-sectional configura tion which provides for injecting additives along substanti ally the full length of an elongated travel path forming part of a continuous line. Provision is made for charge an discharge of work product at opposite longitudinal ends of
the chamber defined by the housing means. Condition sensin means can be mounted on the housing means; temperature sensing, pH monitoring, and ozone monitoring can be carried out along the travel path. Temperature control responsive to chamber or work product temperature can be carried out during the continuous movement of work product within the housing means. in addition to ease of control of rate of movemen
of work product, a further contribution of the invention permits stacking of individual structures, one above the other, to enable continuous-line sequential treatments of work products, with various reactant fluids, utilizing identical and interchangeable apparatus, in which the auger means of stacked chamber structures are capable of moving work product in opposite directions in relation to each other while providing for selective introduction of addi¬ tives from either longitudinal end of the individual structures.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, housing means 10 defines a longitudinally-extended chamber circumscribing a helical-path ribbon band auger 12 which is radially spaced from axis of rotation 14 by narrow-width arms, such as 16, JL8, extending between and integral with sleeve 20 and the ribbon band 12.
As best seen in FIG. 3, rotation of the ribbon- band auger 12 presents an outer diameter cylindrical f O PI
periphery 22 and an inner diameter cylindrical periphery 24, both radially spaced from axial/sleeve 20. Longitudinally- extending passage 26, radially within the inner diameter cylindrical periphery 24, is largely unobstructed, being open except for the narrow-width support arms such as 16,
18.
The chamber-defining housing means 10 is horizon¬ tally oriented and includes a longitudinally-extending bottom wall 30 of semi-circular cross-sectional configura- tion throughout its length or a major portion of its length. A discharge opening is located contiguous to one longi¬ tudinal end. As shown, discharge opening 32 in the bottom wall 30 is defined by discharge framing means 34. The housing means further includes sidewalls 36, 38 (FIG. 3) extending tangentially from distal ends of semi-circular bottom wall 30 to define open cross-sectional space 39 above outer diameter cylindrical periphery 22. The bottom wall and sidewalls, as shown, present a U-shaped cross section. The sidewalls 36, 38 are joined at their upper ends by longitudinally extending top wall closure 40 which can be continuous throughout its length in extending between end- walls 42, 44 or provide for entrance opening 48 defined by work product entrance framing me^s 50. Charge and dischar openings contiguous to opposite longitudinal ends should provide for gravity feed of work product between stacked chambers.
A plurality of paddles, such as 52, 54, are integrally mounted on ribbon band 12 in angled relationship to such band and predeterminedly distributed along its length; such angled paddles lift work product during its longitudinal movement causing a tumbling, cascading action of pulverant solids. Movement of work product by the paddles is generally transverse to the longitudinally directed continuous-line movement; this action expands the
space occupied by the work product during its passage and facilitates desired reaction within the chamber.
Bottom wall 30 is in contiguous relationship to the bottom half of outer diameter cylindrical periphery 22 defined by ribbon band 12 while sidewalls 36, 38 and top wall closure 40 help define longitudinally-extended open space 39, above the outer cylindrical periphery 22, for injecting fluid reactants and monitoring conditions longi¬ tudinally of the chamber.
In accordance with one feature of the invention, conduit connectors are provided contiguous" to both longi- tudinal ends of the chamber defined by the housing means.
In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, conduit connectors 60, 61, and 62 are mounted on endwall 42 and conduit connectors 64, 65, and 66 mounted on endwall 44. Provision is thus made for selective introduction of fluid reactants from opposite longitudinal ends of a single housing structure which, with selection of orientation of the housing means and direction of rotation
UI
OMPI
of helical-path ribbon band 12, enables positioning of a re¬ action chamber structure to provide for right-hand entry or left-hand entry of work product; this enables position¬ ing of manifold injection means within the housing so as to avoid obstruction of work product entry means; and, provides for stacking a plurality of structurally identical treatment chambers, for sequential treatment of work product with continuous—line feed and discharge of work product.between a plurality of stacked structures. Manifold means for injecting additives within the chamber defined by the housing means extend longitudinally from the conduit connectors contiguous to a longitudinal end As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, longitudinally-extended manifolds 70, 71, and 72 extend, respectively, from conduit connectors 60, 61 and 62; the mounting shown enables the entry opening 40 at the opposite longitudinal end of the chamber to be unobstructed. Manifold means 70, 71, and 72 can extend longitudinally throughout substantially the full length of the defined chamber while exempting a portion for work product entry when the charge opening is defined in the top wall.
Individual injectors, such as 74, 75 (FIG. 1) are distributed along the longitudinal dimension of the manifold means. Injection patterns, such as shown in dotted lines at 76, 77 of FIG..1, are determined by selection of commerci¬
ally available injection nozzles; also, injection can be
angled in differing directions and flow control means, such as on/off valves, can be included in such nozzles.
With longitudinal distribution of injection nozzles, additives can be injected along selected portions of or substantially the full elongated travel path for work product; and, additives can be injected, where and as neede in transverse relationship to the continuous-line direction of movement of work product.
The number and location of injection nozzles utilized can be selected. Also, additives in differing
manifolds can be selectively mixed after introduction into the housing means but before dispersion. In using the apparatus of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 for gaseous extraction of sulfur, a reactant gas is introduced through connector conduit 60 and manifold 70. Air can be introduced through connector 61 and manifold 71, and water can be introduced separately throug conduit connector 62 and manifold 72. However, as shown in FIG. 2, air and water manifolds 71 and 72 can be interconnected for mixing air and water within the chamber and discharge through intermediately located spray nozzles such as 78; thus, depth of water penetration within the housing means can be readily augmented with air pressure Also, a spray-mist can be provided to facilitate quench cooling while helping minimize the amount of water used when
cooling is required.
The ribbon band auger 12 is supported at both its
longitudinal ends for rotation and can be driven from either longitudinal end. In tfre specific embodiment, bearing sleeve 82 is supported on endwall 42 and bearing sleeve 84 is supported on endwall 44. A variable speed drive 86 mounted contiguous to endwall 42 is connected by chain drive 88 to sprocket 89; as an alternative available w'ith the invention, which contributes to the adaptability of the structure to stacked operations, such a drive means can be mounted at the opposite longitudinal end contiguous to wall 44 for rotatably driving the auger 12 from that longitudinal end.
Temperature sensing means are mounted on housing 10 for monitoring temperature conditions within the chamber and at the discharge end of the chamber. Pressure sensing is not generally a processing requirement since the chambers are open to atmospheric conditions at work product charge and discharge openings, but can be provided to detect unusual occurrences such as a blockage or stoppage of flow which would result in a pressure increase.* As seen in FIG. 1, pressure sensor 90 is mounted in endwall 40 and a temperature sensor 92 is mounted conti¬ guous to discharge opening 32; the latter monitors the work product after gaseous treatment for extraction of sulfur; should work product temperatures approach 100°C. , cooling measures can be taken. Condition sensors, such as 93, for
monitoring pH or sampling chamber atmosphere for ozone f OMPI
content, can be located along the length of the housing means for control purposes.
Temperature sensors such as 94 (FIG. 3) can be located in sidewall 38 for monitoring temperature conditions
along the longitudinally-extended chamber. Quench cooling can be provided, responsive to temperature monitoring, as required to maintain a reaction zone temperature below about 100°C. and avoid formation of steam in the reaction chamber or the following chamber. Quench cooling water is provided by manifold 72 and/or augmented with air pressure from manifold 71. Injection means are distributed along such chamber length; however, injector valves can be selectively operated. Preferably, quench cooling is limited to a space contiguous to the work product discharge opening, dependent on experience with a particular coal.
The action of the helical-path ribbon band 12 with associated paddles in providing longitudinal movement and a mixing, tumbling, and cascading action of work product for interaction of injected additives is shown in FIGS. 4 through 9.
As seen in the elevational view of FIG. 4, the auger moves the pulverant work product longitudinally as the paddles raise the work product within the chamber and, upon continued rotation of the auger, the work product falls
within the chamber. This raising and falling of the work product is represented in the cross-sectional views of FIGS.
5-8; paddles can take various shapes, including scoop con¬ figurations to control the amourit of lifting.
Reactant gas injected from manifold 70 is directed into contact with the coal a.s it is moved within the chamber during its tumbling cascading movement in fall¬ ing from the paddles, while on the paddles, and while in the bottom portion of the housing.
As seen in FIG. 7, cooling water and air from
manifolds 71, 72 are combined and injected in later stages as may be required to impinge on work product of elevated temperature as it is being raised within the chamber by rotation of the auger.
In the combination of treatments described in above-identified Application Serial No. PCT/ , extraction of sulfur is followed by a conversion treatment in which extracted sulfur, in the form of calcium sulfate, is converted into an ammonium sulfate which is more readily removable from the pulverant coal. The sulfur extraction reaction is a gaseous reaction of nascent oxygen with a moisture-agglomerated pulverant work product; and, the sequential conversion to an ammonium sulfate utilizes a fluid reactant. Conversion chamber structure is substanti¬ ally identical to structure (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) as described for sulfur extraction reaction in mixing, raising and cas- cading of work, product and continuous-line movement of the work product. Manifolds can be selected for liquid and
gaseous additives.
As shown in FIGS. 9 a-rid 10, with the features and adaptability provided by the present invention which enable introduction of additives from either longitudinal end, driving of the auger means from either longitudinal end, and sequential handling of work product in pulverant form for gaseous or liquid reactant treatments, substantially identical chamber structures, as shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 and described above, can be series stacked as shown in FIG. 9, or arranged in various combinations such as the parallel treatment paths shown in FIG. 10, without requir¬ ing an inventory of different types of chamber structures.
Referring to FIG. 9, a first reaction chamber structure 98 is positioned for entry of work product at entrance 100 for movement along the elongated continuous- line travel path upon rotation of ribbon-band auger 102 toward discharge opening 104. Ribbon-band auger 102 is driven by variable drive means 106 at the work product
entry end of the chamber by chain linkage between drive means 106 and drive sprocket 108. Additives are made through manifolds such as 110 extending from conduit con- • nector 112 located at the discharge end of the first reaction chamber structure 98 so that the entrance opening for work product is not obstructed by the manifold means. Entrance means 114 for second reaction chamber
structure 115 is connected to the discharge opening
the first chamber structure 98. Ribbon-band auger 116 in the second chamber structure 115 moves the work product longitudinally in the direction of discharge opening .120 with additives being introduced through conduit connector means 122 located at the discharge opening end of the second chamber structure 115; manifolds such as 124 extend longi¬ tudinally along the elongated work product travel path with¬ out obstructing the entrance opening 114 of the second
chamber structure 115. Ribbon-band auger 116 within the second chamber
115 can be driven from either longitudinal end, preferably with its own drive means 126 linked to sprocket 127. It can also be driven from the drive means 106 through a chain linkage oriented to provide a direction of rotation for ribbon-band auger 116 which is opposite to the direction of rotation of ribbon band 102 of the first chamber 98. With series connected chamber structures, control of rotation is coordinated as indicated by dotted line 128, to have the work product move at a higher rate through the second chamber 115 than through the first chamber 98 when a liquid addition is made in the second chamber in order to avoid the possibility of back-up of materials within such first cham¬ ber.
■ With the structural features described, chambers can be stacked- for gaseous reaction before other reactions are undertaken, so that fluid treatment times can be
O PI
extended, as may be required for high sulfur content coals, without slowing rate of movement along the continuous line.
•With the adaptability provided by the structure of FIGS. 1-3, parallel path treatments can also be carried out to expand capacities of a given line. Referring to FIG. 10, from an additive mixer chamber 130 the work product travels as indicated to flop gate chute 132 which permits
selection of one or two travel paths. As shown, each travel path includes a sulfur extraction chamber such as 134 and a chamber such as 136 for sulfate conversion treatment. The output of both parallel paths, in the combination shown, is directed to spray washing and dewatering screen structure 138 with pulverant solids being directed to separate-means such as cyclone separator 140. Typically, for desulfurization treatments of pulverant coal at rates up to about two hundred and. fifty tons per hour, a chamber length of about twenty feet is defined by the housing means, with a helical ribbon band having an outer diameter of about four feet, a forty-eight inch pitch, and an inner diameter of about thirty inches; paddles such as 52, 54, are located at selected intervals of about 60° to 120° along the helix. Housing and auger means are preferably constructed from chemical resistant material, such as stainless steel. A commercially available twenty horsepower vari¬
able speed drive motor provides a desired range of rotat:
preferably a maximum RPM of about forty and a minimum RPM of about ten for each chamber; rate of movement through the chamber can thus be readily controlled by RPM selection. Ozone can be used to supply nascent oxygen for sulfur extraction. Quench cooling fluid can include water, air, or combined water and air. Conversion reactant com¬ prises ammonia which can be added as a gas plus water, or as ammonium hydroxide.
Injection nozzles can be distributed at about twelve-inch intervals longitudinally of the manifold means. Spray patterns and flow control for each can be selected from commercially available nozzles. Entrance and discharge openings should be about three-foot square or of equivalent area. While specific configurations and materials have been described, it is understood that, in the light of the present teachings, other configurations and materials could be substituted; therefore, the scope of the invention should be determined with reference to the appended claims.
