Abstract:It is the first time in China to utilize indirect heating rotary kiln pyrolysis technology to conduct engineering experiments on small particle oil shale. With small-sized oil shale from Liaoning Province as raw material, the performance of oil shale pyrolysis process was investigated through indirect heating rotary kiln equipment. The results showed that when the discharge temperature was above 500 ℃ and the residence time is 20~45 min, the oil recovery rate of oil shale pyrolysis can reach 88%, which was higher than that of Fushun furnace and ATP technology. The shale coke still retained some calorific value, and the maximum organic matter content could reach 4.1%, which could be further resourcefully utilized. When the oil shale processing capacity reached 4.5 t·h?1, the natural gas energy consumption was 40.1 Nm3·t?1. Compared to the ATP process, the dust content in the indirect heating rotary kiln pyrolysis system was significantly diminished, and the dust carrying rate was only 1.2%. Meanwhile, there was no dust blockage in the pipeline and the inner wall of the rotary kiln was not liable to compact during the oil shale pyrolysis process, resulting in the stable operation and low maintenance cost. The research results verified the feasibility of the indirect heating rotary kiln process and equipment to treat oil shale of small particles, and provided critical process parameters for the large-scale application of small-particle oil shale pyrolysis.
