Simulation Research on Coal-Water Slurry Gasification of Oil-Based Drill Cuttings Based on Fluent

In this paper,based on Fluent software,a five-nozzle gasifier reactor was established to simulate the gasification process of oil-based drill cuttings coal-water slurry.The influence of concentration and oxygen/carbon atomic ratio on the gasification process of oil-based drill cuttings coal-water slurry was investigated.The results show that when the oxygen flow is constant,the outlet temperature of gasifier decreases,the content of effective gas increases,and the carbon conversion rate decreases with the increase of concentration;When the ratio of oxygen to carbon atoms is constant,the effective gas content rises and the temperature rises with the increase of the concentration,and the carbon conversion rate reaches the maximum value when the concentration of oil-based drill cuttings coal-water slurry is 65%;When the concentration is constant,the effective gas content decreases and the outlet temperature rises with the increase of the oxygen/carbon atom ratio,and the carbon conversion rate reaches 99.80%when the oxygen/carbon atom ratio is 1.03.It shows that this method can effectively decompose the organic matter in oilbased drill cuttings and realize the efficient and cooperative treatment of oil-based drill cuttings.

Recovery of high purity silicon from SoG crystalline silicon cutting slurry waste

The composition and size distribution of cutting waste were characterized. The Si-rich powders were obtained from the cutting waste using a physical sedimentation process, and then further purified by removing impurity using acid leaching. The effects of process parameters such as acid leaching time, temperature and the ratio of solid to liquid on the purification efficiency were investigated, and the parameters were optimized. Afterwards, the high-purity Si ingot was obtained by melting the Si-rich powders in vacuum furnace. Finally, the high purity Si with 99.96%Si, 1.1×10^-6 boron （B）, and 4.0×10^-6 phosphorus （P） were obtained. The results indicate that it is feasible to extract high-purity Si, and further produce SoG-Si from the cutting slurry waste.

Effect of the benzene ring of the dispersant on the rheological characteristics of coal-water slurry:Experiments and theoretical calculations

In this study,low-rank coal-water slurry(LCWS)was prepared using polyoxyethylene dodecylphenol ether(PDPE)and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether(PLE),respectively.A combination of experiments and simulations was used to investigate the pulping properties and microscopic mechanism of the LCWS samples prepared using the two agents,so as to explore the influence of benzene ring on the performance of dispersant.The results of the LCWS preparation experiments revealed that the pulp-forming performance of PDPE exceeded that of PLE.When LCWS concentration is 62%,64%,and 66%,the apparent viscosity corresponding to PDPE is 247.80,504.17,and 653.10 mPa·s,and the apparent viscosity corresponding to PLE is 548.10,1470.61,and 1549.98 mPa·s,respectively.The C_(1000)(When the apparent viscosity is 1000 mPa·s,the corresponding concentration of LCWS is defined as C_(1000))values of PDPE and PLE are 67.60%and 62.95%,respectively.In addition to the van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds between the PDPE and/or PLE molecules and coal,the benzene rings of PDPE presentπ-πstacking effect with the aromatic rings of coal.That could facilitate and strengthen the adsorption of PDPE on coal,which would be conducive to further improving the dispersion of coal particles.The two dispersants have no significant difference in effect on the pyrolysis of LCWS.The simulation results indicated that the times for PDPE and PLE molecules to reach flat adsorption state on coal are approximately 290 and 565 ps,respectively.The self-diffusion coefficient(D)of the PDPE and PLE on coal is 3.16 x 10^(-6)and6.57×10^(-6)m~2/s,respectively,and their interaction energies with coal are 785.71 and 648.60 kcal/mol,respectively.The results of the simulation calculations demonstrated that PDPE adsorbed on coal easier than PLE,and its binding is more stable than that of PLE owing to theπ-πstacking effect,which is conducive to uniform dispersion of coal in solution.The simulation results confirmed the experimental results.

Synthesis, characterization and application of a dispersant based on rosin for coal-water slurry

A rosin derivative and maleopimaric acid diethanolamide(MAD), was synthesized, characterized by FTIR and1 H NMR, and applied as dispersant for the coal-water slurry(CWS) prepared from Chinese Shenfu coal. The CWS application performance investigation shows that the MAD dispersant has better abilities in reducing CWS viscosity and stabilizing the slurry than a commercial dispersant—sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensate(SNF). The physicochemical property investigation of the two tested dispersants shows that the adsorption amount of the MAD at coal-water interface is much larger than that of SNF, and the MAD has better wetting property than the SNF on the coal surface. It indicated that the excellent capabilities of MAD are related to the adsorption mode of standing upright on the coal surface. Based on the above, the mechanism of dispersion and stabilization of the CWS prepared from MAD dispersant is presented.

Effect of the high-power electromagnetic pulses on the reactivity of the coal-water slurry in hot environment

An effect of the high-power electromagnetic pulses onto the droplet of coal-water slurry inside the furnace was investigated.In contrary to the previously investigated laser-induced fuel atomization that occurs at the room temperature,the pre-heated(to 400 K)slurry becomes dry enough to prevent the explosion-like steam formation.Thus,fuel does not atomize and the ignition does not accelerate.Furthermore,the absorption of several laser pulses leads to evident sintering of irradiated surface with following increase of the ignition delay time for up to 24%.Variation of the pulse energy in range 48-118 mJ(corresponding intensity up to 2.4 J·cm^-2)leads to certain variation of the increase of ignition delay.The strong pulsed overheating of the coal water slurry which does not initiate the fine atomization of the fuel generally makes its ignition longer.

Artificial neural network approach for rheological characteristics of coal-water slurry using microwave pre-treatment

Detailed experimental investigations were carried out for microwave pre-treatment of high ash Indian coal at high power level(900 W) in microwave oven. The microwave exposure times were fixed at60 s and 120 s. A rheology characteristic for microwave pre-treatment of coal-water slurry(CWS) was performed in an online Bohlin viscometer. The non-Newtonian character of the slurry follows the rheological model of Ostwald de Waele. The values of n and k vary from 0.31 to 0.64 and 0.19 to 0.81 Pa·sn,respectively. This paper presents an artificial neural network(ANN) model to predict the effects of operational parameters on apparent viscosity of CWS. A 4-2-1 topology with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm(trainlm) was selected as the controlled ANN. Mean squared error(MSE) of 0.002 and coefficient of multiple determinations(R^2) of 0.99 were obtained for the outperforming model. The promising values of correlation coefficient further confirm the robustness and satisfactory performance of the proposed ANN model.

A comparative investigation of the properties of coal-water slurries prepared from Australia and Shenhua coals

Two coal samples of similar rank were chosen from Australia and China to investigate the differences in Coal-Water Slurry （CWS） made from them. The effect of ash content and particle size gradation on these properties was also studied. Different grinding times were used when grinding the two coals and particle size analysis of these ground coals was used to select samples with a ＂double-peak＂ particle size distri- bution. All the ＂double-peak＂ samples were used to prepare a CWS. The concentration, viscosity, fluidity, and stability of each CWS were measured. The results show that the properties ofa CWS prepared from a coal sample with a ＂double-peak＂ size distribution are better than those CWS prepared from samples with a mono-modal particle distribution. The ash content of Australian coal is 21.72g higher than the ash content of Shenhua coal. The highest coal concentration in slurry from the Australia coal is 11.01% higher than in CWS from the Shenhua coat. The fluidity and stability of the CWS prepared from the Australian coal are both better than the fluidity and stability of slurry prepared from Shenhua coal. High ash content in the Australian coal imnroves the nulning results of a CWS made from it.

Combustion and Sulfur-fixing Performance of Pulping Black Liquor Coal-water Slurry

The effects of adding pulping black liquor and other additives to coal-water slurry(CWS) on the sulfur-fixing performance of the resultant mixture(pulping black liquor coal-water slurry) were evaluated. The experimental results demonstrated that the ash content of the black liquor coalwater slurry decreased as the addition of pulping black liquor in the mixture increased. Nevertheless, the addition amount should be appropriately selected to ensure that the black liquor coal-water slurry had a moderate calorific value. Addition of black liquor improved the combustion performance of CWS by lowering the ignition point and stabilizing the combustion process; moreover, the sulfur-fixation ratio after combustion increased by 12 to 16 percentage points than that of CWS, and the content of high-melting-point salt in the ash from CWS after adding black liquor was low. The sulfur-fixing ratio of CWS after adding a sulfur-fixing agent was effectively increased by 25 to 30 percenatge points, but with compromise of the fluidity and stability of the CWS; thus, the addition amount of a sulfur-fixing agent should be optimized.

Characterization of Mechanical Properties of Waste Slurry Modified by Recycled Sand and Cement

In order to study the modification effect of recycled sand on cement reinforced waste slurry(CWS),triaxial test,scanning electron microscope test and X-ray diffraction test were carried out.The mechanical test of recycled sand and cement reinforced waste slurry(RCWS)shows that the deviatoric stress–strain curve of RCWS samples changes from hardening type to softening type with the increase of recycled sand content;the peak stress increases with the increase of recycled sand content;recycled sand can enhance the shear strength of CWS by increasing both cohesion and internal friction angle.The microscopic test shows that recycled sand can improve the structural compactness by cementing with hydrated calcium silicate and can reduce the void ratio and orientation index of RCWS samples.Finally,the mathematical model between shear strength parameters and void ratio is established.The research shows that adding an appropriate amount of recycled sand and cement has a good modification effect on waste slurry.This is an effective method to treat two kinds of construction wastes:construction waste slurry and waste concrete.

费托合成废催化剂蜡渣掺混对工业水煤浆成浆特性的影响

将蜡渣以不同比例掺入工业水煤浆中制备环保型水煤浆,可实现费托合成废催化剂蜡渣资源化、无害化处理。利用旋转流变仪测定浆体的最大成浆浓度、流变性等,借助Zeta电位仪定量分析添加蜡渣对于水煤浆稳定性的影响,使用FTIR表征煤、蜡渣颗粒表面的官能团,利用SEM和接触角测量仪对煤和蜡渣表面形貌和接触角进行分析,通过绘制蜡渣水煤浆的稳定分散图,探究蜡渣的掺混对成浆特性的影响机制。结果表明:随着蜡渣添加量的增加,浆体表观黏度增大,最大成浆浓度降低,水煤浆和蜡渣水煤浆都表现出剪切变稀的假塑性特征;加入蜡渣后,浆体的Zeta电位有所增大,蜡渣水煤浆的析水率与相同浓度的工业水煤浆的析水率相比区别不大;通过红外光谱仪及接触角分析仪分析可知,蜡渣表面活性差,疏水性强,进入水煤浆后,水会在蜡渣颗粒表面聚结,造成浆体中自由水损失,从而造成黏度增加,最大成浆浓度降低;同时由于煤表面形成了水化膜,其表面亲水,蜡渣表面疏水,在体系中二者不会发生团聚,所以蜡渣的加入对浆体的稳定性起到了一定的积极作用。

湿法脱硫后烟气和浆液余热回收技术研究进展

低品位余热高效深度利用是促进燃煤电站进一步节能减排的关键之一,湿法脱硫后的低温饱和湿烟气蕴含大量潜热和水资源,大量脱硫浆液吸收烟气热量后温度升高。烟气与浆液具有巨大的余热利用和水资源回收的潜力,若直接排放烟气,直接排出浆液,不但造成资源浪费,还容易引发“白色烟羽”污染环境。本文以湿法脱硫后饱和湿烟气和脱硫浆液为研究对象,针对目前湿法脱硫技术余热回收效率低、利用难以匹配冷源等困境,总结了国内外针对脱硫后烟气水热回收和浆液余热回收技术及发展方向,研究中针对浆液余热利用仍待发展。其中,直接冷凝烟气和浆液技术和热泵技术成熟,应用广泛;溶液吸收技术能源利用率高,烟气腐蚀性低;烟气膜分离技术、浆液闪蒸、热泵技术清洁环保,回收质量高。直接冷凝烟气、浆液技术和膜分离技术需要进一步提高抗腐蚀性和转换效率;浆液闪蒸、热泵技术能耗较高,吸收式热泵技术仍需寻找高效安全环保无毒的吸收溶液。最后,探讨了目前脱硫浆液余热利用的主要方式及存在问题,回收余热主要用于供暖和电厂内部热利用,以期进一步推动湿法脱硫后烟气与浆液余热回收利用,实现燃煤电站的深度节能减排。
