| description | In order to realize the full-time denitration of a boiler, high-temperature flue gas needs to be introduced when SCR is conducted during the boiler start-up stage, and there is a fire risk due to the presence of combustible fly ash at this time. Therefore, research on reburning and the explosion risk of tail flue gas encountering high-temperature flue gas during start-up and shutdown was carried out. A small testbed was designed to record the temperature of the flue gas and the composition of the flue gas before and after the test, and the ignition characteristics of combustible fly ash in the flue gas were systematically studied. The ignition temperature of combustible fly ash in various conditions was obtained, the ignition characteristics of combustible fly ash in the airflow were analyzed, and the effects of combustible gas, high-temperature flue gas temperature, and fly ash composition on ignition were also analyzed. The results show that the flue gas temperature in the test section was about 400 °C, the low-temperature flue gas temperature increased from 650 °C to 813 °C, and the combustible fly ash did not ignite regardless of whether alcohol was added as a combustible gas component. When the volatile content of combustible fly ash was 10~26.7%, the ignition temperature was 660~760 °C. The lower the volatile content of combustible fly ash was, the higher the ignition point was. When alcohol was added as a combustible component of gas, the ignition point decreased by about 50 °C. The critical ignition temperature of combustible fly ash in this test was lower than that under actual power plant operation conditions. |
