Burnout of residual carbon in coal fly ash using air cyclones

Номер: US20120028200A1
Автор: James Kenneth Hicks
Принадлежит: Individual

This patent application is for the novel utilization of an air cyclone combustion unit (CCU) for burnout of residual carbon from burning of fly ash resulting from coal and/or coke in electric power plants or from natural pozzolans. In some cases, residual carbon and/or moisture is too high in fly ash or pozzolans to meet market conditions for quality or ASTM C 618 Specification for Natural Pozzolans and Coal Fly Ash. Heat treating the coal fly ash or natural pozzolan to remove sufficient amounts of carbon renders the remaining pozzolan capable of meeting specifications and being sufficient in quality to perform as a cementitious material in concrete and mortars. Use of an air cyclone, with suitable mechanical adjustments and heat either from an external source or with the inherent heat value from the residual carbon will be claimed.

A method for producing steam while concurrently reducing emissions. The method includes combusting fuel and an oxidant stream having a high concentration of oxygen in a combustion zone having multiple combustion chambers and heat exchangers to produce a flue gas. The flue gas is subsequently cleaned in a dry flue gas cleaning chamber by contacting it with a dry adsorbent. In one embodiment, the method advantageously regenerates the dry adsorbent so that the dry adsorbent can be subsequently recycled back into the dry gas flue chamber.
