Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain low-viscosity coal-water slurry having high concentration by simple operation, suitable for transportation and storage, by crushing coal in wet state in the presence of highly concentrated coal, adding water to the prepared slurry. CONSTITUTION:Coal is crushed in wet state by a ball mill, etc., to give highly concentrated coal-water slurry having preferably 70-80wt% (most preferably 75-80wt%) concentration. Water is then added to the slurry to give the desired 65-70wt% coal-water slurry. The slurry has a large amount of pulverized coal and a wide particle size distribution.

Coal, which is a solid fuel, is cheaper than liquid fuels such as oil, has large reserves, and is produced in many countries around the world, making its supply stable. However, on the other hand, it is difficult to transport and store. It has the disadvantage that it is complicated. Therefore, heavy oil-coal slurry (COM), methanol-coal slurry (C
MM) and high concentrations of coal-water sla! As seen in CWM (CWM), etc., the development of technology for turning coal into a fluid by slurrying it with a liquid medium is actively progressing. Among the above slurries, COM is a coal slurry that uses heavy oil as a fluidizing medium, but it is difficult to reduce the proportion of heavy oil to less than 50% (by weight, the same hereinafter) due to transportation resistance. , which has the disadvantage of requiring a large amount of heavy oil. Furthermore, CMM is a coal slurry that uses methanol as a fluidizing medium, but one drawback is that methanol itself is expensive under current production technology, so it has not been put into practical use. On the other hand, since it is a coal slurry that uses CWM water as a fluidizing medium, thermal loss due to water supply is a problem in boilers, etc. This is said to reduce these problems. In other words, conventionally, in the case of a boiler that uses coal as fuel, water is already contained in the reconstituted water by about 10 to 30%, and the desulfurization tower that removes sulfur dioxide from exhaust gas requires a wet method. This is common, and considering that a large amount of water evaporates and causes heat loss, if the moisture content in the coal-water slurry can be suppressed to about 35% or less, the thermal It can be said that losses are not that much of an issue.

By using C, WM, the dangers of spontaneous ignition and fire of pulverized coal, which were problems during conventional coal storage, are eliminated, and the storage area can be reduced because tank storage and pipe transportation are possible. Since there are no open parts, a safe and pollution-free system can be constructed. CWM has various advantages as described above, but on the other hand, as the concentration of coal increases, the viscosity of the slurry increases, and there is a major problem that pressure drop increases during coal transportation. High-concentration CWM with a coal concentration of 65% or more, preferably 70% or more, without the problem of viscosity increase and without the effects of thermal loss.
In order to create this, even smaller coal particles are inserted between the coal particles, resulting in a particle size distribution that increases the size of the coal, that is, a very wide particle size distribution as shown in Fuller's particle size distribution. It has been desired to create a slurry that has a good distribution and also contains a large amount of fine powder. In order to obtain this kind of slurry, it is currently necessary to set up a complex system such as combining several types of crushers, but even in this case,
Further complicated table control is required to obtain a continuous particle size distribution with a wide width.

In the present invention, the reason why coal is pulverized with a high concentration of coal is as follows. That is, in order to obtain a highly concentrated and low-volume coal-water slurry, it is said that it is effective to widen the particle size distribution of the pulverized coal and to increase the proportion of fine powder. By the way, when coal is crushed in a mill according to the conventional method, the crushing mechanism is broadly divided into impact crushing and attrition, but in order to achieve a wide particle size distribution and increase the proportion of fine powder, It is desirable to increase the rate of attrition. As is clear from the experimental results shown in Figure 1, the most effective way to increase the grinding ratio is to keep the coal at a high concentration of 75 to 80%. .

Possible reasons for this are as follows. That is, in a wet ball mill, as the casing is rotated, the balls inside the mill repeat a movement in which they are lifted up and then dropped. At this time, in the area of impact crushing shown in Figure 1, the viscosity of the slurry in the mill is low because the water content is either very high or low, and therefore the mill (casing) is As the ball 2 rotates, the ball 2 falls down with great force, and the impact at this time shatters the coal, resulting in crushing centered on the impact. Therefore, the particle size distribution width of the coal in the slurry is narrow and the proportion of fine powder is also reduced, making it impossible to produce a highly concentrated coal-water slurry. On the other hand, when the coal is pulverized with a high concentration of about 75 to 80%, the viscosity inside the mill becomes high, so as shown in Figure 2B, the charred balls 2 slide down the inner wall of the mill 1. This movement causes pulverization, mainly attrition, and as a result, pulverized coal with a large proportion of fine powder and a wide particle size distribution can be obtained.

Furthermore, it has been found that by adding water to the highly concentrated coal-water slurry obtained above, a significantly lower viscosity can be achieved than when the slurry is wet-milled to the same concentration after adding water. It is generally sufficient to add water to about 70%, which is the conventional concentration level of this pressed slurry.

% of the slurry of the present invention (Example 1) and the slurry based on the conventional method (Comparative Example 1) were obtained. Although the coal concentration of the obtained slurries is 70% in both cases, the slurry viscosity in Example 1 is 8 C.
It is clear that the viscosity is significantly reduced at 1 cp compared to 1500 cp in Comparative Example 1.

In the figure, A shows the case of Example 1 and B shows the case of Comparative Example. From this figure, it was found that the coal particles in the slurry obtained in Example 1 showed a wider particle size distribution than that in Comparative Example 1. This is considered to be because the coal concentration in the mill was higher in Example 1, and the coal was crushed under Φ conditions that were more suitable for grinding.
