Effects of hydrogen injection on combustion behaviors of coal-coke-gas in a blast furnace raceway: A numerical study
This study utilizes a three-dimensional Discrete Element Model-Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Phase Model (DEM-CFD-DPM) to simulate the effects of hydrogen (H2) injection on the combustion characteristics, coke/coal/gas thermo-chemical behaviors, and kinetics in a blast furnace (BF) raceway. The results indicate that the introduction of H2 significantly reduces O2 concentration and increases H2 and H2O concentrations in the raceway cavity. The mass fractions of reducing gas (including CO and H2) at the tuyere tip and outlet increase. Due to the oxygen competition between H2 and PC combustion, the time required for pulverized coal (PC) to reach a stable value of burnout is extended under H2 injection. The burnout of PC with smaller particle size becomes a bit smaller when H2 is injected, while the difference in burnout for PC with larger size is relatively smaller regardless of whether H2 is injected. Additionally, the injection of H2 not only reduces coke consumption but also provides additional thermal compensation for the raceway. Meanwhile, H2 injection slightly reduces the raceway size and coke kinetic energies. These new findings provide theoretical insights for optimizing hydrogen-rich gas injection and the development of low-carbon ironmaking technology.
期刊介绍:
The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles.
Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors.
Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology.
Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include:
-Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scales
-Mining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processes
-Particle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc.
-Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate system.
These topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.
