Abstract

A recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system is disclosed, comprising: a vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment including a plurality of devices, wherein a top device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment is used as a feed system; a vertical combustion kiln; a blower; and a powder purge system, wherein powders in the feed system fall into the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment and pass through a plurality of the devices to mix and exchange heat with flue gas comprising CO 2 , generating calcination reaction and releasing CO2 into the flue gas. and the steam is separated and transported to the feed system by the blower and acts as a carrier gas of powders.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system, comprising:
a vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment comprising a plurality of devices connected in series from highest to lowest, with a bottom side of each higher device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment in the series directly connected through a rotary valve or flange to a next lower device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment in the series;
a vertical combustion kiln comprising a top side and a bottom side, wherein the top side of the vertical combustion kiln is connected to a lowest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment, and the bottom side of the vertical combustion kiln is connected to a highest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment;
a blower is connected between the highest device and the second highest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment to transport flue gas directly from the second highest device to the highest device; and
a powder purge system is directly connected to the lowest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment.

2. The recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the highest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment acts as a feed system of the recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system.

3. The recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment comprises 3-7 devices.

4. The recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein powders in the feed system fall into the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment and pass through a plurality of the devices to mix and exchange heat with flue gas, generating calcination reaction and releasing CO 2 , and the flue gas comprising CO 2 is transported to the feed system by the blower and acts as a carrier gas of powders.

5. The recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the powders comprise CaCO 3 .

6. The recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the calcination reaction uses a metal carbonate salt as an adsorbent.

7. The recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the metal carbonate salt comprises CaCO 3 , ZnCO 3 , MgCO 3 , MnCO 3 , or NiCO 3 .

8. A method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system, comprising:
providing a vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment comprising a plurality of devices connected in series from highest to lowest, with a bottom side of each higher device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment in the series directly connected through a rotary valve or flange to a next lower device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment in the series, a vertical combustion kiln, a blower and a powder purge system, wherein a top device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment acts as a feed system;
causing powders in the feed system to fall into the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment and pass through a plurality of the devices to mix and exchange heat with flue gas comprising CO 2 , generating calcination reaction and releasing CO 2 ; and
transporting the flue gas comprising CO 2 to the feed system through the blower, wherein the flue gas acts as a carrier gas of the powders;
wherein the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment comprises a plurality of devices;
wherein the vertical combustion kiln comprises a top side and a bottom side, wherein the top side of the vertical combustion kiln is connected to a lowest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment, and the bottom side of the vertical combustion kiln is connected to a highest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment;
wherein the blower is connected between the highest device and the second highest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment to transport flue gas directly from the second highest device to the highest device; and
wherein the powder purge system is directly connected to the lowest device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment.

9. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a part of the flue gas comprising CO 2 transported to the feed system is combusted with pure oxygen in the vertical combustion kiln.

10. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the combusted gas is moved to a bottom device of the vortex cyclone dust collecting equipment.

11. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein pure oxygen and fuel are added during the combustion with pure oxygen.

12. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein temperature of the combustion with pure oxygen is 900° C.-1200° C.

13. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the powders comprise CaCO 3 .

14. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the powders are reacted to form CaO through calcination.

15. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the flue gas comprising CO 2 released from calcination has a temperature of 600-1000° C.

16. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the flue gas has a temperature of 500-1000° C.

17. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein CO 2 of the released flue gas is sealed or reapplied in a further process step.

18. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the calcination uses a metal carbonate salt as an adsorbent.

19. The method for using a recirculated-suspension pre-calciner system as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the metal carbonate salt comprises CaCO 3 , ZnCO 3 , MgCO 3 , MnCO 3 , or NiCO 3 .
