Flow Properties of Entrained Flow Gasifier Fine Slag and Network Structure of its Molten Slag

The entrained flow gasification has been identified as the most promising gasification technology. Serious environmental pollution and waste of land resources are caused by the increasing amount of storage and production of coal gasification slag. The aim of this work is to explore the feasibility of high-temperature combustion and melting technology for treating coal gasification fine slag and determine the important parameters of system operation. The flow properties and molten slag structure characteristics of three fine slags from different entrained flow gasifiers were studied. Depending on the melting mechanism of melt-dissolution, the melting time of fine slags is short. Three fine slags all produce glassy slags, which is conducive to slag discharge. The degree of polymerization of silicate melt is proportionate to the amount of SiO 2 in the slag. A part of Al 3+ exist in the form of [AlO 4 ] 5− because of the effect of CaO and Na 2 O, as the network former. Finally, the degree of polymerization of the three type molten slag was calculated by considering the role of Si and Al in molten slag and the property of each one.
