    • 摘要: 为了深入探究污泥和生物质共焚烧流化床反应器内的气体组分、气体速度、颗粒组分、颗粒速度、压力和温度分布等气固反应流动特征。基于计算颗粒流体力学方法CPFD(Continuum Particle Fluid Dynamics)研究了污泥和生物质共焚烧流化床反应器在二次风关闭和打开两种情况下的流化与反应状态。模拟结果表明,对于反应器的流化状态,二次风关闭时,床料在2s内稳定流化,集中于下部,稳定运行期间反应器径向呈现环核结构;二次风开启后,下部密相区降低,呈鼓泡流化状态,二次风口形成对冲状态。对于反应器的反应状态,二次风关闭时,燃料在反应器内迅速热解和燃烧,焦炭快速燃尽,气体燃料在进料口上方燃烧,形成高CO2和H2O浓度,O2几乎耗尽。N污染物(HCN、CNO、NO)的转化区域主要在中下段,S污染物(H2S、SO2)分布在上部。高温区主要在上部扩大段,最高温度为1217K,并开展中试验证,试验过程中炉内最高温度为1163.15K,误差4.6%,误差在可接受范围内。炉内燃烧最高温度二次风开启后,气体燃料浓度升高,分布区域扩大但限于二次风以下,燃料快速燃尽,污染物CNO、NO分布更均匀,SO2高浓度区域集中于顶部。该研究结果为污泥和生物质共焚烧流化床反应器的流化与反应状态分析以及为反应器的结构设计和改进优化提供了依据。

       

      Abstract: The internal characteristics of a hot fluidized bed reactor exhibit complex gas-solid reaction flow features, including the distribution of gas components, gas velocity, particle composition, particle velocity, pressure distribution, and temperature distribution within the bed. However, due to experimental conditions and measurement techniques, these parameters are often difficult or impossible to measure through conventional means during the actual operation of the reactor. To gain a deeper understanding of the key operating parameters and characteristics within the fluidized bed reactor, to master its operational control laws, and to identify optimization issues in reactor design and operation, it is essential to employ numerical simulation methods for research. Furthermore, numerical simulation can bypass the lengthy process of specific structural design and experimental system setup, thereby accelerating the iterative promotion of the device and significantly reducing the costs associated with design and construction. This study systematically models, simulates, and analyzes a 10 t/d sludge and biomass co-incineration fluidized bed reactor using the Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics (CPFD) method, focusing on the fluidization and reaction states of the reactor under both closed and open secondary air conditions. The simulation results indicate that the reactor operates normally under rated design parameters, with reasonable gas-solid fluidization and high fuel conversion rates, particularly with minimal fuel slip detected in the flue gas. In the study of the fluidization state, when the secondary air is closed, the bed material reaches stable fluidization within 2 seconds, primarily concentrated in the lower part of the reactor. The concentration of particles in the dilute phase decreases with height, with no significant particle outflow observed. During stable operation, the reactor exhibits a core-annulus structure, with the solid content in the center lower than that at the wall. The pressure is highest at the air distribution plate, and significant pressure fluctuations occur at various measurement points after fuel addition, indicating intense combustion disturbances. The gas-solid velocity distribution shows that the gas velocity is high and disturbed in the lower region, while it is slower and less disturbed in the upper region, leading to vigorous fluidization of the bed material. When the secondary air is opened, the total air volume remains constant, resulting in a decrease in primary air and an increase in secondary air. This leads to a reduction in the height of the dense phase region and an increase in particle concentration, exhibiting a bubbling fluidization state. The airflow velocity and disturbance level significantly decrease, while disturbances near the upper secondary air inlet increase, creating a counterflow state. Regarding the reaction state of the reactor, when the secondary air is closed, the fuel rapidly undergoes pyrolysis and combustion, with char burning out quickly and ash concentrated in the lower bed layer. Gaseous fuels (such as CH4, C2H4, CO, H2) primarily combust above the feed inlet, resulting in high concentrations of CO2 and H2O, with O2 nearly depleted. Nitrogen pollutants (HCN, CNO, NO) mainly convert in the middle and lower sections, while sulfur pollutants (H2S, SO2) are distributed in the upper part. The high-temperature zone expands in the upper section, reaching a maximum temperature of 1217 K, and carry out pilot test verification, the maximum temperature in the furnace during the test is 1163.15K with an error of 4.6%, which is within the acceptable range.. The temperature in the bottom dense phase region is uniform, and the gas-solid convective heat transfer rate is high. After opening the secondary air, the oxygen supply from the primary air decreases, leading to an increase in gaseous fuel concentration and an expanded distribution area, limited to below the secondary air flow path. The disturbances and oxygen supply from the secondary air promote rapid fuel burnout, resulting in a more uniform distribution of pollutants CNO and NO, while high concentrations of SO2 are concentrated at the top of the reactor. These research findings provide guidance for the analysis of fluidization and reaction states in sludge and biomass co-incineration fluidized bed reactors, as well as for the structural design and optimization of reactors.
