Abstract
A burner structure suitable for atmospheric entrained-flow gasifiers using fine ash as feedstock was proposed. The study investigates the impact of the burner structure on the mixing characteristics through 0.75:1 (geometry reduction) single-phase airflow experiments. Additionally, numerical simulations were conducted to study of the gasification process of fine ash in a 10,000 Nm3/h atmospheric entrained flow gasifier. The results indicate that a larger residual temperature near the burner outlet was observed when the diameter of the burner's gasification agents channel was 10 mm or 15 mm, approximately 0.7–0.8. Additionally, the mixing degree of the two airflows at the burner outlet was high, and the distance required for complete mixing was short. When the diameter of the gasification agent channel was 15 mm, the mixed syngas flow velocity was appropriate. This resulted in a maximum temperature of 2500 °C, an 80 % carbon conversion rate, and an outlet effective syngas (CO + H2) concentration of 62 %.
