Abstract

In order to explore the complex thermal process in the pyrolysis furnace,the core equipment of MgCl2 spray pyrolysis process,and improve the quality of process products and equipment service life,Euler-Lagrange method was used to establish a mathematical model of gas-particle two-phase flow heat transfer coupled with pyrolysis reaction.The temperature field,particle decomposition process and HCl distribution during the stable operation of pyrolysis furnace were studied.And the influence of gas inlet temperature and flow rate on MgO conversion and HCl distribution was explored.The results showed that the product conversion rate was gradually increased with the increase of flue gas inlet temperature and inlet flow in the scope of the study.When the flue gas inlet was kept at 1.5 m3/s, the product conversion rate reaches 100% at the inlet temperature of 1 423 K. When the flue gas inlet temperature was kept at 1 273 K, the product conversion rate reaches 100% at the inlet flow rate of 2.25 m3/s.As the particles moving downward,the HCl concentration was radually increased and reached a maximum concentration of 6.5% at the discharge port.Moreover,with the increase of flue gas inlet temperature and inlet flow,the HCl concentration at the discharge port showed a change law of firstly increasing and then decreasing.The flue gas inlet temperature and inlet flow rate corresponding to the maximum value were 1 373 K and 1.75 m3/s,respectively.
