Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an equipment for classifying a gas-solids flow coming from a counterjet pulverizer, in which the gas-solids flow accelerated by an additional gas flow is led to a first, mainly a centrifugal-force based classification phase, from which a coarse fraction is returned to the pulverization and a fine fraction is led, supported by the gas flow, to a second classification phase.
  • the counterjet pulverizer technique developed by the inventors is mainly connected with a static or dynamic classifier.
  • the operation of these classifier types is described e.g. in an earlier Finnish patent publication 81732 and in an international publication WO 90/06179.
  • the classifiers may be of a static or dynamic type or their combinations.
  • a static classifier refers to a classifier, which contains no moving parts, but the classification effect is achieved only by means of a centrifugal force caused by the speed of the gas-solids flow.
  • the classifier has, for intensifying the classification effect, a winged rotor rotating at a high speed and surrounding a fine-fraction outlet opening.
  • the coarse fraction of a second and possibly a next classifier is usually recovered as such depending on the product or returned directly to a feeding funnel of the counterjet pulverizer e.g. by means of a separate feed screw.
  • the last-mentioned solution loads the counterjet pulverizer to an unnecessary large extent, since part of the coarse fraction of the second classifier comprises e.g. of easily decomposing fiber bundles, the decomposition of which does not require an additional pulverization in the jet pulverizer.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the abovementioned disadvantages, which has been achieved by means of a method, which is characterized in that the coarse fraction produced in the second classification phase is mixed in a vigorous additional gas flow and the additional gas-solids mixture produced is led to the feed of the first classification phase such that large speed differences occur therein, and the fine fraction is led, supported by the gas flow, to the next treatment phase.
  • the particle bundles possibly present in the coarse fraction of the second classifier may be readily decomposed by the action of shear forces caused by the additional or accelerating gas flowing at a high speed below the removal device of the classifier.
  • a similar positive effect is achieved at the point of a connecting pipe between the counterjet pulverizer and the first classifier, where the additional or accelerating gas pipe terminates.
  • new material to be pulverized is brought by means of a feed screw 1 to a feeding device 2 of the pulverizer, which device 2 represents a so-called valve feeding type.
  • the material drops to a pressurized balancing reservoir 2b, from which it is transferred as a uniform feed by means of a screw conveoyr to a fluidization chamber 3 of the equipment, in which a working gas is fed among the material for achieving a gas-solids suspension.
  • the gas-solids suspension thus formed flows at a high speed as a uniform flow via a dividing device 4 to accelerating nozzles 5a of the counterjet pulverizer 5, which are directed to a common point, in which the gas-solids jets impact against each other, whereby the solid particles are pulverized into an ultrafine form.
  • the pulverized gas-solids suspension flows via a connecting pipe 6 to a first, mainly centrifugal-force based classifier 7, into which the gas-solids suspension flows at a high speed mainly tangentially.
  • additional or accelerating gas is led from an additional gas source 9 into the connecting pipe 6 via an additional gas pipe 8, which terminates at the connecting pipe 6 at a distance from the classifier 7, mainly parallel with the remaining part of the connecting pipe 6.
  • an additional gas pipe 8 which terminates at the connecting pipe 6 at a distance from the classifier 7, mainly parallel with the remaining part of the connecting pipe 6.
  • On the peripheral surface of the classifier 7 is located a removal pocket 7a for the coarse fraction at a distance from the inlet opening of the classifier 7.
  • the bottom section of the removal pocket 7a is provided with a closing device 10, preferably a rotor closing device, by means of which the coarse fraction is removed periodically from the removal pocket 7 and returned to a feeding funnel 2a of the counterjet pulverizer.
  • a removal pipe 11 for the fine fraction which terminates mainly tangentially at a second classifier 12.
  • the second classifier 12 may possibly be of the same type as the first classifier 7 or possibly a classifier of a cyclone type.
  • the solution according to this invention is characterized in that a removal device 13 for the coarse fraction of the classifier 12 terminates at the additional or accelerating gas pipe 8, in which the coarse fraction is mixed at a high speed with the flowing additional or accelerating gas, and the additional gas-solids mixture thus formed is led into the connecting pipe 6 such that large speed differences occur locally therein, by means of which shear forces are achieved, which break the particle bundles possible contained in the feed flow of the connecting pipe 6.
  • the fine fraction of the second classifier 12 is led, supported by the gas flow, via a removal pipe 14 to the next treatment phase.
  • new material to be pulverized may be led by means of the screw conveyor 1 and a gate feeder 15 to the gas flowing in the additional or accelerating gas pipe 8, whereby the material to be pulverized is once classified already before the pulverization, so the ultrafine fraction present in the feed is removed therefrom before it enters into the counterjet pulverizer.
  • the removal pipe 14 of the second classifier 12 for the fine fraction terminates tangentially at a third classifier 15, whose removal device 16 for the coarse fraction terminates at the same additional or accelerating gas pipe 8 as the corresponding removal device 13 of the second classifier 12.
  • the fine fraction of the third classifier 15 is led via a fine-fraction removal pipe 17 e.g. into a storage silo or to a next treatment phase.
  • pure additional gas may be led into it as a flushing gas from the flushing air nozzle located at the removal pocket 7a of the classifier 7. Additional gas into this flushing air nozzle is led from the additional or accelerating gas source 9 via a branch pipe 18.
  • a dynamic classifier is used in at least one classification phase, i.e. a classifier, which is provided with a rotor preventing the removal of overcoarse particles at the inlet opening of the fine-fraction removal pipe 11 of the classifier 7.
