Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and system for recovering energy from low-grade fuels such as industrial, municipal and agricultural waste, low-grade carbonaceous fuels such as lignite and similar solid fuels in which the fuel is comminuted into small particles and slurried in water. The alkali content of the slurry is adjusted to be at least about equal to the chemical equivalent of the halogen content of the slurry and, following pressurization of the slurry, it is heated sufficiently so that the substantial portion of chemically bound oxygen in the fuel separates therefrom as carbon dioxide, leaving a slurry including char particles and dissolved impurities such as halogen salts. The char particles are removed from the slurry and reslurried with just enough halogen-free water to provide the slurry with the needed viscosity to maximize the energy density thereof. The char particles are then reacted with air at a temperature below their ignition value to convert the fuel value of the low-grade fuel into thermal energy which is then further used, for example, to drive a turbine.
Abstract:
An organic compound pyrolysis flashover energy-saving regeneration treatment system for remaking organic waste such as family\industrial garbage, sewer mud, agricultural waste and livestock excreta etc. to become liquid and solid regenerated organic compounds by using a waste pre-treatment unit, an organic waste steaming sterilization unit, an organic waste pyrolysis flashover unit, a green energy generation & steam regeneration unit, a solid-liquid organic compound separation unit, a liquid organic compound regeneration unit and a solid organic compound regeneration unit, which compounds are used as organic fertilizer or feed for livestock farming, the system can effectively achieve the objects of recovering resources, purifying environment, saving energy and reducing carbon and regeneration of organic waste for reuse, it further can increase the efficiency of environmental conservation.
Abstract:
A municipal or like refuse is crushing, separating ferrous metals, mixing with crushed limestone, drying up and loading in furnace of pyrolysis. An electronic and electric scrap is crushing, drying up from surface water and warming on 2-4° C. above temperature of transporting air, divide into concoction nonferrous and precious metals and dielectric fraction, which go in furnace of pyrolysis by specified air, cleaned from dust and moistened up to 100% moisture by water. At mixing with dielectric fraction temperature of the air increases, relative moisture falls down to level, excluding condensation of moisture and spark formation in system. Pyrolysis is carried out under simultaneous neutralization of allocated hydrogen chloride by limestone with reception of calcium chloride. Gas allocated at pyrolysis condensing and dividing to water and organic phases (liquid fuel). Solid products of pyrolysis together with ash and slag supplied from landfill blade of heat power station, washing by specified water phase for dissolving of calcium chloride and extracting ions of heavy metals, then centrifuging. Filtrate and washing water cleanse from heavy metals. Solid products of pyrolysis move for incineration in combustion chamber. Combustion chamber slag, cleanse from heavy metals and not burned-out fuel in slag of heat power station, cool by air, which is then used in combustion chamber. Slag concrete products expose by the thermohumid processing by part of humid chimney gases after drying the calcium chloride, the other part gas is going to production of the carbonic acid.
Abstract:
Solid combustible waste materials are converted into highly efficient fuel by subjecting such materials to size reduction in suitable size-reducing equipment. The last piece of the equipment is a mill which pulverizes the waste materials into fine particles having a high surface to mass ratio and forming a highly efficient fuel when these particles are directly injected into a combustion reactor operating at high temperature.
