增压富氧燃烧被认为是最有前景的CO2捕集技术之一,近年来逐渐引起学术界和工业界的关注。而由于增压实验难度较大,燃烧过程如同“黑匣子”,燃烧信息获取不丰富等原因,目前关于煤颗粒增压富氧燃烧机理的研究尚不充分。本文通过建立煤颗粒脱挥发分数学模型研究了增压流态化条件下的O2/CO2和O2/N2气氛对煤颗粒脱挥发分过程的影响机制。模型考虑了煤颗粒与环境之间的传热以及颗粒内部温度梯度,采用非稳态一维颗粒模型描述煤颗粒干燥和挥发分的析出过程。研究结果表明,模型具有良好的适用性,脱挥发分时间的计算值与前期实验结果之间误差小于20%;模型敏感性分析表明床料比热容、燃料比热容、燃料尺寸、燃料密度、燃料水分含量以及总换热系数对颗粒干燥时间的影响较大;床料比热容、换热系数以及燃料的密度和尺寸对脱挥发分过程影响较大,而床料比热容、换热系数、燃料密度以及燃料尺寸是影响颗粒内外温度梯度峰值的主要因素;压力和床温的升高均会带来煤颗粒与床料之间换热的增强,从而带来较低的干燥时间和脱挥发分时间,提高颗粒内外温差的峰值;而与N2气氛相比,CO2气氛下干燥时间和脱挥发分时间略有下降,颗粒内外温差会增加;随着流化数(w)的升高,颗粒与环境之间的换热作用被加强,干燥和脱挥发分过程被缩短。
Pressurized oxy⁃fuel combustion is considered as one in the most promising CO2 capture technologies, which has gradually attracted the attention of academia and industry in recent years. However,due to the difficulty in the pressurization experiment,the combustion process is like a “black box”,and the acquisition of combustion infor⁃ mation is not sufficient,the combustion mechanism of coal under pressurized oxy⁃fuel conditions is not well understood. In this work,the influence mechanism of O2 / CO2 and O2 / N2 atmospheres on a devolatilization process of a single coal particle was studied by establishing a devolatilization model. The model considered the heat transfer and the tempera⁃ ture gradient inside the coal particle. The model used the unsteady one⁃dimensional particle model to describe the dr⁃ ying and devolatilization processes of the single coal particle. The results show that the model has good applicability,and the error between the calculated and experimental results is less than 20%. The sensitivity analysis of the model shows that the specific heat capacity of bed material and fuel, fuel size, fuel density, fuel moisture content and total heat transfer coefficient between bed material and fuel have a great influence on the drying time. The specific heat capacity of bed material, transfer coefficient, fuel density and size greatly influence the devolatilization time. The specific heat capacity of bed material,heat transfer coefficient,fuel density and fuel size are the main factors affecting the peak value of temperature gradient inside and outside the particle. With the increase of pressure and bed temperature,the heat transfer between coal particle and bed material increases,which also results in lower drying time and devolatilization time and increases the peak temperature difference between inside and out⁃ side the particles. Compared with N2 atmosphere,the drying time and devolatilization time decreases slightly under CO2 atmosphere,and the temperature difference between inside and outside particles increases. With the increase in fluidization number (w),the heat transfer between particles and bed is strengthened,and the drying and devolatiliza⁃ tion processes are shortened.
