Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of pyrolysis and improvement of caking middling coals, in particular to a low temperature pyrolysis method of a caking middling coal. The present disclosure provides a low temperature pyrolysis method of a caking middling coal, including the following steps: conveying the caking middling coal into a pyrolysis reactor through a top of the pyrolysis reactor; dividing a reaction chamber of the pyrolysis reactor into a drying section, a softening section, a melting and depolymerization section, a solidification section, and a cooling section by means of multi-channel gas distribution; and conducting zoned temperature control-based pyrolysis to obtain semi-coke at a bottom of the reactor as well as tar and coal gas at the top of the reactor. The pyrolysis method can well avoid caking and swelling of the caking middling coal during pyrolysis.

Claims (13)

1. A low temperature pyrolysis method of a caking middling coal, comprising the following steps:

mixing the caking middling coal with a non-caking coal to obtain a mixture;

conveying the mixture into a pyrolysis reactor through a top of the pyrolysis reactor;

dividing a reaction chamber of the pyrolysis reactor into a drying section, a softening section, a melting and depolymerization section, a solidification section, and a cooling section by means of multi-channel gas distribution; and

conducting zoned temperature control-based pyrolysis to obtain semi-coke at a bottom of the reactor as well as tar and coal gas at the top of the reactor;

wherein the drying section has a temperature of less than 143° C.; the softening section has a temperature of 345° C.; the melting and depolymerization section has a temperature of 447° C.; the solidification section has a temperature of 507° C.; and the cooling section has a temperature of less than 52° C.;

wherein the multi-channel gas distribution comprises:

providing a first circulating carrier gas channel, a second circulating carrier gas channel, a third circulating carrier gas channel, a fourth circulating carrier gas channel, and a fifth circulating carrier gas channel in sequence from bottom to top on a side wall of the pyrolysis reactor; and

introducing a circulating carrier gas into the pyrolysis reactor through the first circulating carrier gas channel, the second circulating carrier gas channel, the third circulating carrier gas channel, the fourth circulating carrier gas channel, and the fifth circulating carrier gas channel separately;

the circulating carrier gas has a carrier gas flow rate of 1,200 m 3 /h, 250 m 3 /h, 500 m 3 /h, 250 m 3 /h, and 50 m 3 /h in the first circulating carrier gas channel, the second circulating carrier gas channel, the third circulating carrier gas channel, the fourth circulating carrier gas channel, and the fifth circulating carrier gas channel, respectively;

the non-caking coal has a caking index of 32.30, an ash content A daf of less than or equal to 27.5 wt %, and a volatile content V daf of 29.61 wt %; and

the caking middling coal has a particle size of 30 mm to 80 mm.

2. The pyrolysis method according to claim 1 , wherein the circulating carrier gas comprises a waste gas produced by the zoned temperature control-based pyrolysis and a flue gas produced by mixed combustion of air.
