Let’s see whose skills are better, whose thinking is more innovative? Big Thoughts on the Transformation of Coke Ovens
Thread Content
Let’s see whose skills are better, whose thinking is more innovative? Thoughts on the renovation of coke ovens: The constraints involve changing from the current side-loading, ramming method of coke production to a top-loading, ramming method, and replacing intermittent coke production with continuous production, so that the coke can be discharged from the bottom. Key technology: the sealing issue of feeding coke cakes into the carbonization chamber; the entire process is continuous. People from the chemical industry, those working in petrochemicals – challenging themselves........
Guys, come and join in! It’s time to prove one’s strength...
There is no way to prove that continuous coking has any significant advantages over intermittent coking; why waste time then?
Hello, thank you very much for your active participation and for sharing your opinions. Let’s put aside the question of who is good or bad for now, and focus on that key issue: how to continuously load the coal cakes while ensuring sealing during the loading process?
Modern coking technology has a history of over 100 years, and today’s coke ovens are highly advanced! Innovation is certainly a good thing and should be supported, but it’s not about random, blind speculation! I remember one of my former supervisors had this kind of talent – he could come up with ideas just by thinking about them, but those ideas were impossible to implement with the technology available at that time. As a result, the technical staff worked tirelessly, yet no progress was made; they kept working for over a year without any outcome! It supports innovative research and development, but the domestic system is likely to lead to a \"Great Leap Forward\"-style approach to innovation; to innovate, it’s necessary to first reform the system!
Wouldn’t that just be coal pyrolysis???
Is it like a tunnel kiln used for firing refractory bricks, with material entering on one side and exiting on the other?
Thank you for your participation; I don’t agree with all of your views. As I asked, it’s not impossible to implement top-mounted ramming for continuous coking; I already have some ideas. I’d like to see what the experts think. I believe that if they take the time to think about it, they will surely achieve a lot. Thank you again for your participation.
This process of mine cannot involve oxygen; it falls within the field of coal pyrolysis. I hope experts can think carefully about how to solve the problem of sealing the flue gas when there are no coal cakes present
I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it; I can’t really describe it, and I’m not sure what the effects are
Such furnaces (upright furnaces) already exist and have been in use for many years; they are semi-coke ovens in which coal is fed in in blocks and removed in the same form, without any caking occurring. This makes it easy to extract coke using gravity. Coal that tends to cake isn’t suitable for use in such furnaces. It seems that the person asking this question doesn’t know much about the advancements in metallurgical coke production. Giant coke-making reactors have been tested abroad on numerous occasions, but these efforts required huge amounts of resources and ultimately ended in failure. Due to environmental, resource, and cost considerations, the coke industry abroad is considered a declining industry, and as a result, the value of research in this field is decreasing, along with enthusiasm for investing in it. The coke-free ironmaking method (direct reduction) that was popular in the 1960s has not yet been fully developed to this day. The original poster is energetic, but it’s necessary to understand the extensive preliminary work done by those who came before. Avoid taking detours.
