Thermodynamic fluidized evaporation separation device and process
Technical Field
The invention relates to a thermodynamic fluidization evaporation separation device for separating moisture in wet materials, and also relates to a thermodynamic fluidization evaporation separation process.
Background
In industrial production, moisture content in various high-moisture materials needs to be reduced to a low moisture content, and taking lignite as an example, lignite with initial moisture of 30% -60% is often required to be dried to a lignite product with final moisture of 3% -5% no matter combustion, transportation or to meet the process requirements of coal chemical industry.
The conventional equipment and method for drying high-humidity materials adopts the following steps: A) the hot flue gas is used as a heat source to directly heat the materials, or B) the hot steam is used as a heat source to indirectly heat the materials. The former is influenced by high material volatile matter or air inlet temperature, so that the material with low ignition point (such as lignite) is easy to ignite and burn, and has potential safety hazard; the latter adopts indirect heating, the heat value of the steam is high, and the process is safe and reliable.
However, due to most wet materials, such as lignite and the like, the drying process is divided into two stages, namely a constant-speed drying stage and a deceleration drying stage. When the technical scheme of CN101581533A is adopted in the constant-speed drying stage, the wet material has higher drying efficiency; however, in the deceleration drying stage, since the drying rate mainly depends on the migration rate of moisture in the material, if the technical scheme of CN101581533A is continued, the dehydration rate is not greatly affected by the motion state of the wet material, and the material to be dried, such as brown coal, is maintained under the "fluidized" state by higher energy consumption, which causes a problem of higher energy consumption per unit of product.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of safety, economy and high efficiency of the drying method, it is necessary to design a new moisture separation apparatus and a new separation method for the drying characteristics of wet materials such as brown coal, so as to achieve efficient and rapid dehumidification of the wet materials in a constant-speed drying stage and low-energy-consumption deep dehumidification in a reduced-speed drying stage, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the product per unit of production.
