    半焦掺混生物质无焰富氧燃烧NOx机理模拟研究

    Numerical simulation on NOx mechanism in flameless oxy-fuel combustion of semi-coke and biomass blends

    • 摘要: 随着煤化工行业的快速发展,产生了大量半焦,但其大规模低碳利用仍存在挑战。半焦挥发分含量较低,在燃烧过程中常面临着火困难和燃尽率低的问题。掺混燃烧特性相对较好的生物质可望改善半焦的燃烧性能,提高燃尽率。由于半焦固定碳含量较高,燃烧会产生大量CO2。无焰富氧燃烧既能实现高浓度CO2捕集,又能显著降低NO排放。但是目前半焦掺混生物质在无焰富氧氛围相关的研究较少,氮转化特性尚不明确。为了研究无焰富氧气氛半焦和生物质掺烧的燃料氮转化特性,采用数值模拟方法,在对模型进行详细验证的基础上,深入探讨生物质掺混比对掺烧过程氮转化特性的影响,并对不同类型NO的单独贡献进行分析。结果表明:无焰富氧燃烧下,炉内烟气的卷吸效应始终保持在较高水平。随着生物质掺混比增大,炉内高温区提前,峰值温度升高,同时低氧区范围扩大,挥发分含量增加,CO含量增多并且分布区域更广;与纯半焦燃烧相比,纯生物质燃烧的峰值温度升高了105 K。当生物质掺混比为25%时,出口总NO浓度显著降低;当生物质掺混比在50%~100%时,出口总NO浓度无明显变化。出口总NO浓度主要由燃料型NO生成量和NO再燃量决定,其中燃料型NO起主导作用。随着生物质掺混比由0增大到75%,NO再燃量由5×10−6增加到35×10−6。当生物质掺混比小于50%时,燃料型NO生成量不断降低,其中半焦NO的生成减少占主导地位,生物质NO的增加对燃料型NO的影响有限。推荐采用25%的生物质掺混比,在此条件下能有效抑制NO的生成;与纯半焦燃烧相比,此时出口总NO体积分数降低了33%,主要是因为燃料型NO生成量减少了30%,而NO再燃影响相对较小。

       

      Abstract: The coal chemical industry has expanded rapidly, producing a substantial amount of semi-coke. However, its large-scale, low-carbon utilization remains challenging. Semi-coke has low volatile content, making it hard to ignite and burn completely. Blending semi-coke with biomass, which exhibits superior combustion characteristics, is a promising approach to enhance combustion performance and increase burnout rates. Due to the high fixed carbon content of semi-coke, its combustion generates a significant amount of CO2. Flameless oxy-fuel combustion can realize both high concentration CO2 capture and significantly reduce NO emissions. However, research on the co-combustion of semi-coke and biomass in flameless oxy-fuel atmospheres is limited, and the mechanisms of nitrogen conversion are not well understood. To study fuel nitrogen conversion in semi-coke and biomass co-combustion under flameless oxy-fuel conditions, numerical simulation is carried out based on detailed model validation. The effects of biomass blending ratio on nitrogen conversion characteristics are thoroughly investigated, and the individual contributions of different NO types are analyzed. Results show that flameless oxy-fuel combustion maintains a high level of flue gas entrainment. As the biomass blending ratio increases, the high-temperature zone shifts forward, and the peak temperature rises. Additionally, the low-oxygen zone expands, volatile content increases, and CO concentration rises with a wider distribution. Compared to pure semi-coke combustion, pure biomass combustion increases the peak temperature by 105 K. When the biomass blending ratio is 25%, the total outlet NO concentration is significantly reduced. In contrast, when the biomass blending ratio is between 50% and 100%, there is no significant change in the total outlet NO concentration. The total NO concentration at the outlet is primarily determined by the generation of fuel NO and NO reburning, with fuel NO playing a dominant role. As the biomass blending ratio increases from 0 to 75%, the NO reburning amount rises from 5×10−6 to 35×10−6. When the biomass blending ratio is less than 50%, the formation of fuel NO continuously decreases, driven mainly by the reduction in semi-coke NO, while the increase in biomass NO has a limited impact. A biomass blending ratio of 25% is recommended, as it can effectively suppress NO generation. At this ratio, the total outlet NO concentration is reduced by 33% compared to pure semi-coke combustion, mainly due to a 30% decrease in the generation of fuel NO, while the impact of NO reburning is relatively minor.
