Experimental study on secondary air mixing along the bed height in a circulating fluidized bed with a multitracer-gas method

A multitracer-gas method was proposed to study the secondary air(SA)mixing along the bed height in a circulating fluidized bed(CFB)using carbon monoxide(CO),oxygen(O_(2)),and carbon dioxide(CO_(2))as tracer gases.Experiments were carried out on a cold CFB test rig with a cross-section of 0.42 m×0.73 m and a height of 5.50 m.The effects of superficial velocity,SA ratio,bed inventory,and particle diameter on the SA mixing were investigated.The results indicate that there are some differences in the measurement results obtained using different tracer gases,wherein the deviation between CO and CO_(2) ranges from 42%to 66%and that between O_(2) and CO_(2) ranges from 45%to 71%in the lower part of the fluidized bed.However,these differences became less pronounced as the bed height increased.Besides,the high solid concentration and fine particle diameter in the CFB may weaken the difference.The measurement results of different tracer gases show the same trends under the variation of operating parameters.Increasing superficial velocity and SA ratio and decreasing particle diameter result in better mixing of the SA.The effect of bed inventory on SA mixing is not monotonic.

Mathematical Modelling and Design of Helical Coil Heat Exchanger for Production of Hot Air for Fluidized Bed Dryer

In global industrialization, efforts have been made to increase the rate of heat transfer in heat exchanger, minimizing the size of heat exchanger to reduce cost as well as increasing the effectiveness. Helical coil heat exchanger (HCHE) has been proven to be effective in improving heat transfer due to its large surface area. In this study, HCHE was designed to provide hot air needed for fluidized bed drying processes. The HCHE design model was fabricated and evaluated to study the efficiency of the hot air output for a laboratory fluidized bed dryer. The mathematical model for estimation of the final (output) temperature of air, Taf, passing through the HCHE was developed and validated experimentally. The drying of bitter kola particulates was carried out with a drying temperature of 50C 3C and a bed height-to-bed diameter ratio (H/D) of 1.5. The time taken to dry bitter kola particulates to 0.4% moisture content was 1 hour 45 minutes. Hence, HCHE is recommended for use in the production of hot for laboratory-scale fluidized bed dryers.

Numerical simulation and experimental verification of bubble size distribution in an air dense medium fluidized bed

Bubble size distribution is the basic apparent performance and obvious characteristics in the air dense medium fluidized bed (ADMFB). The approaches of numerical simulation and experimental verification were combined to conduct the further research on the bubble generation and movement behavior. The results show that ADMFB could display favorable expanded characteristics after steady fluidization. With different particle size distributions of magnetite powder as medium solids, we selected an appropriate prediction model for the mean bubble diameter in ADMFB. The comparison results indicate that the mean bubble diameters along the bed heights are 35 mm < D b < 66 mm and 40 mm < D b < 69 mm with the magnetite powder of 0.3 mm+0.15mm and 0.15mm+0.074mm, respectively. The prediction model provides good agreements with the experimental and simulation data. Based on the optimal operating gas velocity distribution, the mixture of magnetite powder and <1mm fine coal as medium solids were utilized to carry out the separation experiment on 6-50mm raw coal. The results show that an optimal separation density d P of 1.73g/cm 3 with a probable error E of 0.07g/cm 3 and a recovery efficiency of 99.97% is achieved, which indicates good separation performance by applying ADMFB.

Analysis and evaluation on pressure fluctuations in air dense medium fluidized bed

Pressure fluctuations contribute to the instability of separation process in air dense medium fluidized bed, which provides a high motivation for further study of underlying mechanisms. Reasons for generation and propagation of pressure fluctuations in the air dense medium fluidized bed have been discussed.Drift rate and collision rate of particles were employed to deduce the correlation between voidage and pressure fluctuations. Simultaneously, a dynamic pressure fluctuation measuring and analysis system was established. Based on frequency domain analysis and wavelet analysis, collected signals were disassembled and analyzed. Results show gradually intensive motion of particles increases magnitudes of signal components with lower frequencies. As a result of violent particle motion, the magnitude of real pressure signal's frequency experienced an increase as air velocity increased moderately. Wavelet analysis keeps edge features of the real signal and eliminates the noise efficaciously. The frequency of denoised signal is closed to that of pressure signal identified in frequency domain analysis.

Occurrence characteristics of mercury in high-mercury coal and distribution rule of mercury in products of an air dense medium fluidized bed

Mercury emitted from direct combustion of high-mercury coal does great harm to the environment. To make good use of high-mercury coal, it is necessary to study the occurrence characteristics of mercury in coal and high-efficient methods of mercury removal. In this paper, high-mercury coal of Guizhou Province of China was taken as an object to study the nature of mercury in coal and the rule of mercury removal by dry preparation method. Mercury mainly distributes in the medium and high density fractions, and has a good affinity with silicon, aluminum, iron, titanium, potassium, calcium, zinc, sodium and magnesium. It exists in minerals formed by these elements and presents significant correlation with ash in coal. After the high-mercury coal is separated by air dense medium fluidized bed, mercury content of clean coal is reduced to 1/10 of raw coal, while mercury content of gangue is increased to 3 times that of raw coal. This indicates that mercury in raw coal is rejected greatly by ADMFB and enriched in highdensity fractions. The rates of ash removal and mercury removal decrease with the density and present a very high correlation.

Effect of the secondary air distribution layer on separation density in a dense-phase gas–solid fluidized bed

Dry coal separation has been the most significant process in the field of coal beneficiation to date, because of its special advantage of operation with no water consumption. Mineral dry separation research has received wide attention, particularly in countries and regions experiencing drought and water shortages. During the process of dense coal gas-solid fluidized bed beneficiation, the material is stratified according to its density; the high density material layer remains at the bed bottom, and thus the high density coarse particle bed becomes an important infuencing factor in fluidized bed stability. In the steady fluidization stage, a small number of large radius bubbles are the direct cause of unsteady fluidization in the tradi- tional fluidized bed. The dispersion effect of the secondary air distribution bed for air flow is mainly apparent in the gas region; when the particle size exceeds 13 mm, the secondary air distribution bed has a synergistic effect on the density stability of the upper fluidized layer. When the particle size is small, especially when less than 6 ram, particles will constantly move, accounting for instability of the secondary air distribution bed and distorting the stability of the upper fluidized bed. Under optimum operation conditions, the probable deviation E of gas-solid separation fluidized with a high density coarse particle layer can be as low as 0.085 g/cm3.

RESEARCH ON DENSITY STABILITY OF AIRDENSE MEDIUM FLUIDIZED BED

In this paper on the basis of studying the distribution of fine Coal in the dense medAn fluidised bed. the optimai size range of fine coal, which constitutes a fluidized bed together with the dense medium, has been found. In the separating process the fine coal will continuously aeeumulate in fluidized bed, thus inevitably reducing the density of the bed.In order to keep bed density stable, the authors adopted such measures as split-now of used medium and complement of fresb dense medium.The experiment results in both lab and pilot systems of the air-dense medium fluidized bed show that these measures are effective and satisfactory. Then authors also have estabinbed some relative dynamic mathematical models for it.

MECHANISM AND APPLICATION OF COAL DRY BENEFICIATION WITH AIR-DENSE MEDIUM FLUIDIZED BED

The mechanism of beneficiation with air dense fluidized bed has been theoretically studied in the paper. Focusing attention on the misplacing resources in separation process, the misplacing effects are divided into two parts called respectively as misplacing effect of viscosity and misplacing effect of motion. The proposed separation theory can reasonably explain the results of separation in different fluidization states. Experimental results in pilot and commercial plants showed that the air dense medium fluidized bed is a high efficiency dry cleaning technique. The dynamic stability of fluidized bed density is directly affected by the variation of fine coal content in fluidized bed and can be controlled in expected range through measurement of fluidized bed density and adjusting of split flow rate. With air dense medium fluidized bed, various coals of size 50—6 mm can be efficiently beneficiated. The separation density can be adjusted between 1.2—2.2 g/cm 3, and the probable error E p value is about 0.06.

Vibrated fluidized bed air classification of moist raw coal

Vibrated fluidized bed air classification is completely different from traditional screening in principle. It extracts fine coal from moist raw coal by entrainment of an ascending airflow in a vibrated fluidized bed. Pilot tests showed that air classification efficiencies varied from 74.85% to 93.84% at cut-size 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0.5 mm when free moisture of coal is in the range of 1.7% to 9.5%, and ash contents of fine coal products were 2%～3% lower than those of the same size fractions in feed, and 4%～10% lower than those of feeds for most cases because of the density differences between coal and waste, which is beneficial to producing lower ash fine coal from raw coal as fuel of blast furnaces or pulverized coal firing boilers. A commercial unit of 100 t/h has been in smooth operation, and several 300～400 t/h units are in plan or construction.

This technique brings about enormous economic benifits.

Synthesis gas production using oxygen storage materials as oxygen carrier over circulating fluidized bed

A novel process for synthesis gas production over Circulating Fluidized Bed （CFB） using oxygen storage materials as oxygen carder was reported. First, oxygen in the air was chemically fixed and converted to lattice oxygen of oxygen storage materials over regenerator, and then methane was selectively oxidized to synthesis gas with lattice oxygen of oxygen storage materials over riser reactor. The results from simulation reaction of CFB by sequential redox reaction on a fixed bed reactor using lanthanum-based perovskite LaFeO3 and La0.8Sr0.2Fe0.9CO0.1O3 oxides prepared by sol-gel, suggested that the depleted oxygen species could be regenerated, and methane could be oxidized to synthesis gas by lattice oxygen with high selectivity. The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas over CFB using lattice oxygen of the oxygen storage materials instead of gaseous oxygen should be possibly applicable.

低负荷下CFB锅炉二次风优化对NO_(x)排放影响的数值模拟

为控制循环流化床(circulating fluidized bed,CFB)锅炉低负荷下NO_(x)的原始排放,以某350 MW超临界CFB锅炉为研究对象,基于计算颗粒流体力学(computational particle fluid dynamics,CPFD)方法对40%负荷下燃烧过程进行数值模拟。分析了不同二次风角度、新增二次风量对NO_(x)排放的影响。结果表明:随着射流角度的减小,炉膛出口NO浓度逐渐降低,CO浓度无明显增加。部分二次风上移后炉膛密相区氧浓度降低,不完全燃烧增加,还原性氛围增强,抑制了NO的生成。当新增风量从10%增加到30%时,NO排放浓度降低了17.2%。但随着比例的进一步提高,炉膛密相区的缺氧环境造成燃烧效率下降,温度大幅降低。因此,在不影响燃烧的前提下可以通过提高新增二次风比例来降低NO的原始排放浓度。

不同负荷工况下660 MW循环流化床锅炉脱硝特性研究

为揭示不同负荷下循环流化床的运行特性,以某660 MW循环流化床锅炉为研究对象,在满负荷、75%负荷下,具体研究床温波动、风量配比、烟气含氧量和风煤配比对选择性非催化还原(selective non-catalytic reduction,SNCR)技术喷氨量和脱硝效果的影响。结果表明:满负荷运行时,在欠氧区,SNCR投射喷氨量与循环流化床锅炉给煤量保持同向变化趋势,若持续提高喷氨量,会导致氨逃逸较大,降低SNCR脱硝能力;当炉内给煤量保持稳定,在欠氧还原区内,适当提高二次风量(含氧量),会促进挥发分N的还原反应。75%负荷运行时,床温波动范围超过110℃时,为了满足脱硝要求,应适当提高一次风量、降低二次风量和喷氨量;床温波动范围低于50℃时,应适当降低一次风量和喷氨量;床温波动范围在50~100℃时,应适当降低二次风量和喷氨量;欠氧区内,喷氨量随总给煤量增多而增大。研究结果可以指导循环流化床优化运行,减少氮氧化物排放。
