Definitions
- the present invention relates to a combustion process allowing to obtain a substantial elimination of the organic particulate from flue gases combined with a still more sig ⁇ nificant drastic reduction of the integral of the numeral distribution of the inorganic particle having size or di ⁇ ameter lower than one micrometer, up to achieve a value of the integral of the inorganic particle size numeral distri ⁇ bution almost of the same order of that of the integral of the numeral distribution of the inorganic particle size of the natural background.
- the present invention relates to a combustion process allowing to obtain the substantial elimination of the organic particulate from flue gases combined with a significant reduction of the integral of the numeral distribution of the inorganic particle sizes below 0.1 mi ⁇ crometer, being the concentrations by weight of the part of inorganic ashes with particle size lower than 1 ym very low, lower than 0.01 mg/Nm 3 flue gas dry basis.
- the inorganic particles having a diameter lower than 1 ym lower than 650,000, preferably lower than 300,000 and still more preferably lower than 200,000 (1/cm 3 or number of particle/cm 3 flue gas;
- the inorganic particles having a diameter lower than 0.1 ym lower than 400,000, more preferably lower than 200,000, still more preferably lower than 120,000;
- fume powders have been taken into consideration for their potential effect both on the earth warming and on air and earth pollution when related to dangerous suspected substances.
- the rule still maintains emission limits expressed as total weight (indistinct) of the emitted PM 10 particulate (acro ⁇ nym indicating the particulate having ⁇ 10 ⁇ size) , and in detail, for the most strict regulations, values ⁇ 10 mg/Nm 3 of emitted fumes, dry basis. Both the characterization methodologies and the values obtained therefrom, do not seem to take into account the evaluation of the danger.
- the particulate is formed both of in- combusted or partially combusted particles (organic par ⁇ ticulate) , and of inorganic particles (in particular met ⁇ als) .
- the concentration of the emitted particulate is generally expressed by weight (integral of the particle size weight distribution up to 10 ym, or up to 2,5 ym) referred to the volume unit of pro ⁇ **d or emitted fumes.
- the weight integral value of the particle size distribution by unit volume of the fumes be ⁇ low 1 ym particle size is not taken into consideration. And, even less, there is not even an indirect mention to the submicron numeral distribution of the ash particles in fumes.
- EP 1,616,129 in the name of the Applicant relates to a flameless combustion process to treat materials of various kind, for example waste, wherein the formation of cold zones in the reactor is reduced, the process being carried out under isothermal or quasi isothermal conditions, oper ⁇ ating at temperatures higher than 1,300K and under pres ⁇ sures higher than the atmospheric one, the oxidant being fed in admixture with water, steam or recycling gas.
- the combustion fumes contain very low TOC (Total Organic Carbon) amounts, of the order of ppm, as well as amounts of the same order of magnitude of fly ashes.
- USP 8,453,583 describes a combustion process using liquid, solid and gaseous fuels at temperatures in the range 1,300K and 2,500K, the comburent being oxygen, the combustion being carried out under "opaque” and infrared radiation, preferably under pressure and diluting oxygen with recycling fumes, and by adding to the inletting fuel of water/steam.
- This patent does not give any indication on the submi- cron weight distribution of the ash particles in fumes and neither on the submicron numeral distribution, and even less on the distribution at particle diameters lower than 0.1 micrometer.
- the incoming ashes are melted, coalesce in the melted state and are separated from fumes by collapsing on the refractored walls of the combustor.
- the quantitative efficiency of the separation is high (>99%)
- the charac ⁇ terization of the fumes outletting the combustor carried out with a continuous process ELPI type analyzer that is an impactor collecting data on the weight and numeral dis ⁇ tribution of the population of particles (inorganic parti ⁇ cles in case of this teaching) with respect to their diame ⁇ ters, points out that the residual particle distribution is centered at values just above the micrometer (1-3 ⁇ ) , the upper limit being above 7-8 ⁇ , the distribution being open towards values lower than one micrometer.
- EP 2,220,198 describes a combustion process using a flameless and isothermal combustor to which compounds hav ⁇ ing a melting temperature lower than or equal to 1450K are added. In this way in fumes the concentrations by weight of the particles having a diameter lower than 2,5 ⁇ (PM 2,5) are reduced to values of about 10 ⁇ g/ m 3 .
- EP 2,227,521 relates to a combustion process in a flameless and isothermal combustor wherein compounds having a melting temperature lower than or equal to 1450K and sul ⁇ phur, or sulphur-containing compounds, are used as additives.
- compounds having a melting temperature lower than or equal to 1450K and sul ⁇ phur, or sulphur-containing compounds are used as additives.
- PM 2,521 also basic ashes are reduced, the latter being transformed into compounds that are no longer aggressive towards the walls of the combustor and for the downstream thermal re ⁇ covery equipments.
- EP 2,227,523 relates to a combustion process carried out in an isothermal and flameless combustor, wherein as additives sulphur or sulphur-containing compounds are used. In this way the outletting combustion fumes are no longer aggressive for those parts of the equipments that come into contact with the fumes.
- It is an object of the present invention an oxycombus- tion process wherein a combustor is fed with a fuel, a com- burent and compounds under the form of coherent aggregates having the following feature cohesive forces such as to give a Young modulus value ⁇ 10 4 MPa a particle size higher than 75 ⁇ for at least 60% by weight of their granulomet- ric distribution, the aggregates having the above properties at the inlet into the combustor, the amount of aggre ⁇ gates with respect to the fuel ashes ranging from ⁇ 5% by weight up to at most 1:1 by weight,
- the combustor being isothermal and flameless.
- the combustor preferably operates at temperatures com ⁇ prised between 1,400 K and 2,200 K, still more preferably 1,500 K - 1, 800 K.
- the combustor is preferably operated under pressure.
- the pressures that can be used in the combustor range from 103 kPa to about 6, 000 kPa, preferably from 200 kPa to 4,600 kPa, still more preferably from 500 kPa to 3,000 kPa.
- Fuel ashes are determined after exhaust at 600 °C, as de ⁇ scribed for example in ASTM D3174.
- the comburent is oxygen, used in admixture with water, steam or in admixture with recycling fumes, preferably with the latter, more preferably the recycling fumes are taken from the fumes outletting the energy recovery equipments.
- the ratio by moles oxygen: (water/steam) is preferably comprised between about 1:0.4 and about 1:3.
- the amount of water/steam in fumes is higher than 30% by volume.
- water can be added to the recycling fumes.
- the molar ratio oxygen: (water/steam) in fumes is as defined above.
- the oxygen used in the process of the invention is pure oxygen or also technical oxygen, i.e. an oxygen titre higher than 80% by volume can be used.
- Technical oxygen (titre >80% vol.) is obtained by cry ⁇ ogenic distillation from air or by differential absorption on zeolites, or by separation with ceramic membranes at high temperature, etc.
- Technical oxygen is commercially available .
- high purity technical oxygen (>98.5% by volume) can also be used.
- oxygen having titre 92-94% VSA (vacuum swing absorption) and 88-92% VPSA (vacuum pressure swing absorption) can be used.
- the lowest limit of the oxygen titre, as said, is about 80% by volume, the complement to 100 being formed of inert gases and/or nitrogen.
- the comburent in the process of the invention is generally used in excess with re ⁇ spect to the stoichiometric amount. Values from 1% to 3% mo- lar of oxygen (i.e. not converted oxygen), are preferably present in the fumes.
- fuels mixtures containing at least one species oxi- dizable with oxygen and producing heat development are meant .
- the fuel is fed in admixture with water or steam, the amount of water/steam being equal to at least 30% by weight on the fuel.
- the water/steam amount is not higher than 90%, preferably not higher than 80% by weight with respect to the fuel weight. Amounts of added water above 90% by weight can significantly lower the thermal re ⁇ covery efficiency.
- the fuels that can be used are liquid, solid, gaseous fuels .
- hydrocarbon solids brought to melting/liquefaction by heating, and fed as viscous liquids, can be used.
- Solid fuels can also be gasified and the obtained crude gases fed to the combustor of the invention.
- biomasses for exam ⁇ ple deriving from sugars, animal flours, coal, industrial wastes from neutralization reactions, high-boiling refinery fractions, bitumens and oil shales, processing wastes of tar sands, peats, exhausted solvents, pitches, in general indu ⁇ strial process scraps and waste, including the residual frac ⁇ tion of urban waste, optionally comprising CDR (fuel from waste) , can be mentioned.
- Emulsions of liquid fuels of oil origin can also be used.
- CH 4 low molecular weight hydrocarbons (for example ethane, propane, butane) , syngas can also be used.
- the granulometry particle size distribution of the aggregates is determined for example by ASTM C136-06.
- the aggregate particle size preferably is not higher than about 900 ⁇ , preferably lower than or equal to 700 ⁇ still more preferably lower than or equal to 500 ⁇ , most preferably lower than 300 ⁇ .
- the upper limit of the Young modulus of the aggregates can be about 10 6 MPa.
- the fed amount of aggregates is ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 more preferably ⁇ 20% by weight with respect to the fuel ashes.
- the aggregates are fed to the combustor separately from the fuel or in admixture therewith.
- the aggregates according to the present invention have a high cohesion force, as shown by the Young modulus val ⁇ ues. Therefore the aggregates are coherent materials.
- the aggregates of the invention do not comprise powders or in ⁇ coherent materials not showing values of the Young modulus comprised between the above indicated limits.
- the Applicant has unexpectedly and surprisingly found that if the fuel contains already aggregates having a Young modulus within the above indicated limits and the relevant amounts by weight with respect to the fuel ashes are equal to or higher than the lower limit reported above, it is not necessary to add to the fuel the aggregates of the inven ⁇ tion. However the Applicant has found that from the indus ⁇ trial point of view it is preferable to add the aggregates according to the present invention in the above reported amounts as the fed fuels are often intrinsically unhomoge- neous (unreproduceable) as regards to the aggregates con ⁇ tained in the fuel.
- the aggregates usable according to the present inven ⁇ tion are minerals having the above mentioned characteris ⁇ tics (Young modulus, granulometric distribution) .
- Silica, silicates, silicoaluminates , calcium oxides, aluminum ox ⁇ ides, alkaline phosphates, etc. can for example be men ⁇ tioned .
- bentonite is preferably excluded among the usable aggre ⁇ gates .
- the aggregates that are preferably used are vitreous slags coming from the combustion process of the present in ⁇ vention, separated at the bottom of the combustor. Gener- ally these slags are separated under the form of vitreous beads having sizes of some millimeters, for example 2-3 mm, and subjected to a milling step to obtain the above indi ⁇ cated granulometry for use in the process of the present invention .
- Slags obtained from other combustion processes can also be used provided that they show the above mentioned character ⁇ istics of the aggregates of the invention.
- the amount of aggregates that can be already contained in fuel ashes can be determined by XRF rays diffractometry (X ray fluorescence) and the obtained data are processed with CQPA (Chemical Quantitative Phase Analysis) techniques in order to determine the corresponding minerals (Pittsburg Coal Conference, Sept. 2013, Proceedings, Zdenek Klika, I. Kolomaznik "Critical Evaluation of Mineral Contents in Coal using Chemical Quantitative Phase Analysis Method") .
- CQPA Chemical Quantitative Phase Analysis
- Aggregates having an hardness higher than 3 can therefore be used in the process of the present invention.
- low-melting compounds preferably under the form of low-melting salts and/or low-melting oxides, and mixtures thereof, having a melting temperature lower than 1,450 K, preferably higher than 800 K, in an amount expressed as % by weight on the fuel ashes fed from zero, preferably from about ⁇ 5% up to about ⁇ 10%, can be added.
- Tests carried out by the Applicant have shown that if these low-melting com ⁇ pounds are used in amounts higher than the above limit, in the fumes there is an increase of the integral of the numeral distribution of the submicron inorganic particle size.
- the combustor of the invention is isothermal when the internal temperature of the reactor is almost uni ⁇ form in the whole volume of the reactor.
- the quasi isothermal reactor is comprised, according to the present invention the temperature in all the zones of the quasi isothermal combustor ranges at the most ⁇ 5% with respect to the base (mean) combustion temperature. This means that practically in the combustor there are not sig ⁇ nificantly colder zones.
- the combustor of the invention is flameless i.e. the combustion process takes place in the whole com ⁇ bustor volume without formation of a flame front.
- the residence time of the fuel in the combustor preferably ranges from 0.5 seconds up to 30 minutes, more preferably from 2 to 10 seconds. It is possible to use also longer times, if desired.
- a col ⁇ lection vessel of the melted ashes that fall at the liquid state in the lower part of the combustor is connected.
- ashes are cooled, for example by using a water bath, and transferred in a solid vitrified state into static set ⁇ tlers .
- the hot fumes obtained in the combustion process of the invention are used to produce energy by means of steam or heat for other applications
- the hot fumes are cooled by mixing them with cold recycling fumes (recycled after thermal recovery) , in a ratio hot fumes/cold fumes such that the final temperature of the gase ⁇ ous mixture is about 1,100 K.
- the temperature decrease thus obtained by strict recycle of the fumes outletting the ther ⁇ mal recovery, takes places without enthalpy penalizations of the cycle (isoenthalpic operation) , and it has no impact on the thermal energy of the produced steam, as the SH (super heated) steam temperature technological maximum acceptable by the turbines is 903 K.
- the combustor is preferably refractored.
- the refracto ⁇ ries used in the combustor of the invention are according to the prior art preferably aluminous with addition of about 10% of chromium and optionally also about 4% zirconium.
- the fumes net gaseous product of the combustion can be removed from the relevant pressurized circuit by lamination to atmospheric pressure.
- a preferred solution is to operate neutralization (washing) step under pressure.
- the process of the present invention allows to substan ⁇ tially eliminate from fumes the organic particulate (incom- busted) and drastically reduce the integral of the particle size numeral distribution of the inorganic compounds having particle size below 1 ⁇ .
- the process of the present inven ⁇ tion allows furthermore to reduce and simplify the unit op ⁇ erations for fume the post-treatment, as indicated above.
- the formed chemical species melt together with the incombustible ashes contained in the fuel (oxide mixtures) and are subjected to liquid coales ⁇ cence to the point to collapse as drops on the combustor walls, and collect in a substantially quantitative way (>99% with respect to the ash balance) at the bottom of the combustor .
- soot is absent as pointed out by both the carbon and SEM analy ⁇ sis.
- soot it is meant a combustible organic material in the form of aggregates having sizes from about 10 nm up to about 10 ⁇ , more specifically of organic macromolecules having a composition significantly rich in oxygen besides in carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbon macromolecules partially degraded by oxidation reactions) , residual in fumes due to their incomplete combustion.
- the submicron particle fraction in the fumes is reduced from values around 0.1 mg/Nm 3 , obtainable according to the above indicated prior art teachings, down to values of 0.01 mg/Nm 3 with the invention process.
- an optionally present particulate portion having particle size above 2-3 ⁇ , out- letting the combustor can be easily removed from fumes by the known and competitive methods (cyclones, filters, dry and wet electrostatic filters, wet scrubbing, etc.), while the submicron portion, critical for the post-combustion separation processes from fumes, is not formed (by- produced) , or its formation is strongly reduced directly in the combustion.
- the results obtained by the Applicant with the present invention are quite surprising and unexpected in view of the prior art on combustors, as the problem of the reduc ⁇ tion of the integral of the numeral distribution of the submicron particles, that are so harmful to human health as reported above, has never been taken into consideration and/or solved. Therefore in the prior art there was no in ⁇ dication on how to solve this problem.
- the primary ashes have two outcomes in the combustor: for a small part (3-5% of the inletting ashes) bind to the particles of partially combusted/incombusted fuel (soot), to give heavy ashes that separate from fumes in the combus ⁇ tor (and also as fouls on the surfaces of the downstream energy recovery equipments) , while for a remarkable part (> 95%) they come out from the combustor together with fumes as fly ashes.
- the primary ashes are formed of particles having a very uneven surface and a quite random shape. They can however be dimensionally represented by an "equivalent sphere", the diameter, surface and the volume of which can be defined.
- Primary ashes have a very large diameter distribution, ranging from 0.01 ⁇ to hundreds of micrometers, the diame ⁇ ter being determined by the aid of electronic microscope characterization of the ashes contained in commercial fu ⁇ els.
- the deriving/residual ashes from fuel combustion are those subjected to the thermal treatment, or optionally chemical treatment in the combustion and are likely to be different from those inletting and are called "secondary ashes" .
- the secondary ashes substantially constitute the fly ashes and maintain the very large weight distribution of their fractions as a function of the particle diameter, of the primary ashes.
- the unit operations for ash separation are very effi ⁇ cient (100%) on particles having a diameter >60-80 ⁇ .
- the efficiency weakly decreases as the diameter decreases, down to a sudden quick drop in efficiency ⁇ 5% in the particle diameter range between 1 and 10 ⁇ .
- More strict separations by means of electrostatic sep ⁇ arators and followed by wet electrostatic separators are effective only in the particle diameter range from 1 to 10 ⁇ and very little below 1 ⁇ .
- the numeral distribution with particle size below 1 ⁇ , and in particular below 0.1 ⁇ , is not significantly modified; in effect the weight value PM 10 of fly ashes (or the weight of all the particles having a diameter lower than 10 ⁇ Nm 3 , (see the method indicated above) is differ ⁇ ent from the PM 2,5 value (particles having a diameter low ⁇ er than 2,5 ⁇ ) , as the latter discriminates the particle size in correspondence of the efficiency loss of the con ⁇ ventional post-treatment separation technologies.
- the fly ash particles are both organic (soot, partially combusted fuel) and inor ⁇ ganic (oxides and metal salts, incombusted) resulting from fly ashes entering with the fuel.
- Example 2 is carried out under the same conditions as Example 1 but by adding to the combustor the low-melting salt potassium sulphate.
- the reduction of the concentration by weight is sig ⁇ nificant.
- Most of the heavy metals separate from fumes and preferably collect in liquid slags recovered at the bottom of the combustor.
- Tests carried out on a 3 MW thermal (MWth) power pilot combustor show the absence of coalescence and of separa ⁇ tion/precipitation into the combustor of liquid slags of water soluble oxides and salts having melting temperatures comprised between 600 and 1200 K fed in aqueous solution.
- Example 4 was carried out under the conditions of ref ⁇ erence example 1 but by using a pressure of 12 barg (13 ab ⁇ solute bar) by adding the aggregates according to the in ⁇ vention (in this case the aggregates are those contained in ashes) .
- the reduction of the ash weight concentration in fumes is even more significant.
- the numeral distribution diagram (Fig. 3B) is obtained without correction for the losses of fines.
- the particle fractions between 0.01 and 0.1 micrometers about 100,000 and 150,000 1/cm 3 , respectively
- rise again without however showing the trend described in reference example 1.
- a trend with a maximum is in fact not excluded, as this is constantly present with the variation of the ash composition in the fed fuel.
- the Applicant has surprisingly and unexpectedly found that by adding or "seeding" the fuel, separately or in admixture, with the aggregates according to the present invention, i.e. Young modulus >10 4 MPa, a re ⁇ duction of the submicron particles is obtained such that the peak value of the integral of the numeral distribution does not exceed 100,000 - 150,000 particles/cm 3 fume dry ba ⁇ sis.
- Brownian diffusion parameter D has two intervals with two different trends, said two in ⁇ tervals being distinguished by:
- D is a 1/Dp 2 function
- the mass is a function f (Dp) .
- the pressure does not therefore act on the coalescence phenomena for Dp ⁇ ⁇ , but actually widens the region of particles having size Dp wherein the coalescence phenomena are fast.
- the aggregates of the invention can be ob ⁇ tained from structurally fragile oxides and salts, having a Young modulus in the above mentioned limits, milled with the usual techniques so as to obtain the above indicated granulometry, said aggregates under the conditions of the combustor of the invention are fractured (broken) by thermal expansion, very intense and repeated, due to the com ⁇ bined effect of the temperature and of their intrinsic fra ⁇ gility as shown by the elastic modulus values.
- vitreous slags produced at the bottom of the combustor is preferred, as it is very efficient (low addition concen ⁇ trations) , and as they do not increase (they close the bal ⁇ ance on the inletting ashes) the amount of the produced vitreous slags to be disposed of.
- oxides/salts/intrinsically fragile granules can already be present in the fuel.
- the obtained results on the reduction of the integral of the numeral distribution of the inorganic particle size are independent from the chemical composition of the ashes of the fuels fed into the combustor (such as for example for the ashes from phosphate-based biomasses) , and from the composition (salt or metal oxide) of the aggregates pro ⁇ vided that the aggregate has the characteristics as defined according to the present invention.
- the process of the invention allows to pilot the melt coalescence phenomenon, on varying the chemical composition of the inletting ashes, and favour the ash retainment into the combustor in several cases of ash compositions, in or ⁇ der to maintain an high efficiency of the ash retainment in the combustor, and to convey in the melted ashes separated at the bottom of the combustor the amount as largest as possible of heavy metals entering with the fuel.
- Another object of the present invention are flue gases obtainable with the process of the invention.
- the fumes of the invention are char ⁇ acterized in having a substantial absence of organic fume particulate (TOC total organic carbon) , being its residual weight concentration, determined as carbon, lower than 0.01 mg/Nm 3 fume dry basis, and the value of the integral of the numeral distribution of the particles having a diameter lower than 1 ym, lower than 650, 000, preferably lower than 300,000 and still more preferably lower than 200,000 (1/cm 3 i.e. particle number/cm 3 );

- the present invention allows to obtain the reduction of the integral of the numeral distribution of the fraction of the inorganic particles having particle sizes below 1 ym to about one half with respect to the nu- meral distribution below 1 ym obtainable with the reference examples, that are internal comparative tests carried out by the Applicant, being it possible to reach also values about 6-8 times lower, that is to obtain a numeral distri ⁇ bution almost approaching the numeral distribution of the inorganic particle size of the natural background, and with respect to the numeral distribution of particles having a diameter below 0.1 micrometers, and a reduction of 5-6 times less, with respect to the reference examples herein attached .
