DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] To make objectives, technical solutions and advantages of examples of the disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the examples of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the examples of the disclosure. Obviously, the described examples are some examples rather than all the examples of the disclosure. On the basis of the examples of the disclosure, all the other examples obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort fall within the protection scope of the disclosure.

[0051] In the description of the disclosure, it should be noted that the terms central, upper, lower, left, right, vertical, horizontal, inner, outer, etc. indicate azimuthal or positional relations based on those shown in the drawings only for ease of description of the disclosure and for simplicity of description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the referenced apparatus or element must have a particular orientation and be constructed and operative in a particular orientation, and thus cannot be construed as a limitation on the disclosure. In addition, the terms first, second, and third are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0052] In the description of the disclosure, it should be noted that, unless expressly specified and defined otherwise, the terms mount, connect, and connected are to be construed broadly. For instance, they can denote fixed connection, detachable connection or integral connection, denote mechanical connection or electric connection, denote direct connection or indirect connection by means of an intermediate medium, denote communication between interiors of two elements, or denote wireless connection or wired connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, specific meanings of the above terms in the disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0053] Further, technical features involved in different embodiments of the disclosure described below can be combined with one another as long as they do not constitute a conflict with one another.

[0054] Main carbon dioxide emissions in a production process of cement materials are generated by decomposition of carbonate minerals in clinker calcination, which can account for 60% or more of carbon dioxide emissions in an entire production process. Therefore, major measures currently taken by the cement industry are developing alternative raw materials and technologies for energy saving and consumption reducing of production processes, and reducing clinker usage amount in cement and energy consumption.

[0055] In view of that, the disclosure provides a calcination system and method for low-carbon cement clinker, so as to solve problems of a great usage amount of clinker in cement and high energy consumption.

[0056] With reference to FIGS. 1-5, the examples of the disclosure will be described below.

[0057] In one aspect, the examples of the disclosure provide a calcination system for low-carbon cement clinker. The calcination system includes a kaolin calcination assembly and a cement calcination assembly.

[0058] Specifically, in an example of the disclosure, the kaolin calcination assembly includes a preheater 1 and a decomposition furnace 2.

[0059] Further, the preheater 1 is provided with a multi-stage cyclone cylinder. The preheater 1 is provided with a feed port 1112, a discharge port, and a waste port. Raw material powder is added from the feed port 1112, and a newly added cold raw material may make contact with hot flue gas from the decomposition furnace 2. Through direct heat exchange, the raw material is gradually heated, and meanwhile, the flue gas is gradually cooled, such that heat is gradually recovered. In a system of multi-stage cyclones, the raw material may pass the plurality of cyclones sequentially, and a temperature of the raw material may increase once after the raw material passes one stage of cyclone. Meanwhile, a temperature of the flue gas may gradually decrease until the material enters the decomposition furnace 2 via the discharge port. Through the waste port, large heavy particles in the raw material may be returned to a grinding system for grinding. The raw material powder after re-grinding may be added into the preheater 1 again through the feed port 1112.

[0060] Further, the decomposition furnace 2 is provided with a fuel adding port 24 and a raw material inlet 23. The raw material inlet 23 is connected to the discharge port. Activated kaolin is generated by the decomposition furnace 2 through calcination. The decomposition furnace 2 has a calcination temperature of 700 C. to 850 C. and calcination time of 0 h to 1.5 h. A calcination atmosphere in the decomposition furnace 2 is an oxygen-enriched atmosphere or a CO reducing atmosphere.

[0061] Further, the cement calcination assembly may be a rotary kiln. The cement calcination assembly is configured to generate cement clinker through calcination. The activated kaolin is added to a discharge side of the cement calcination assembly according to a predetermined ratio of the activated kaolin to the cement clinker. The predetermined ratio may be 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, etc., for instance.

[0062] In the examples of the disclosure, on the basis of an original cement raw material ratio, kaolin is added, such that use of carbon-containing raw materials in clinker production and carbon emissions of clinker can be reduced, and a hydration rate of the cement clinker can be adjusted. In addition, the kaolin may be calcined and activated, and meanwhile, the calcined kaolin may be added to the discharge side of the cement calcination assembly. For instance, through collaborative cooling of the discharge port at a head of a rotary kiln or a material inlet of a grate cooler, overall energy saving and carbon reduction of the calcination system can be achieved. Moreover, a layered aluminosilicate structure in the kaolin is dehydrated and decomposed at high temperature, and further conducts structural reorganization. Six-coordinated aluminum ions are transformed into four-coordinated activated alumina that has higher chemical reaction activity. Some silicon-oxygen bonds of the layered structure are broken, such that island-like active silicon oxide is formed, further enhancing material activity. Moreover, with increase in specific surface area and change in average hole diameter and hole size, a surface area of a material increases, and an internal structure of the material becomes more porous, such that contact areas with other substances and reaction efficiency can be improved. Therefore, active sites on a surface and a structure of the cement clinker can be increased, and performance of a final cement product can be significantly enhanced. For instance, cohesive force can be strengthened, durability can be improved, or other physical and chemical properties can be adjusted.

[0063] Further, in one optional embodiment, the preheater 1 is provided with a three-stage cyclone cylinder including a first cyclone cylinder 11, a second cyclone cylinder 12, and a third cyclone cylinder 13.

[0064] In an example of the disclosure, the first cyclone cylinder 11 is provided with a first air inlet cylinder 111 and two first cyclones 112 arranged in parallel at a tail end of the first air inlet cylinder 111. The first air inlet cylinder 111 is provided with a first air inlet 1111 and the feed port 1112. A top of the first cyclone 112 is provided with a first exhaust port 1121. A bottom of the first cyclone 112 is provided with a first discharging port 1122.

[0065] Further, the second cyclone cylinder 12 is provided with a second air inlet cylinder 121 and a second cyclone 122 connected to a tail end of the second air inlet cylinder 121. The second air inlet cylinder 121 is provided with a second air inlet 1211 and a pair of return ports 1212. A top of the second cyclone 122 is provided with a second exhaust port 1221. A bottom of the second cyclone 122 is provided with a second discharging port 1222.

[0066] Regarding a connection mode of the second cyclone cylinder 12, the pair of return ports 1212 are connected to the two first discharging ports 1122 respectively; and the second exhaust port 1221 is connected to the first air inlet 1111, and the second discharging port 1222 constitutes the discharge port of the preheater 1.

[0067] Further, the third cyclone cylinder 13 is provided with a third air inlet cylinder 131 and a third cyclone 132. One end of the third air inlet cylinder 131 is in communication with a fume outlet of the decomposition furnace 2, and the other end of the third air inlet cylinder 131 is connected to the third cyclone 132. A top of the third cyclone 132 is provided with a third exhaust port 1321. A bottom of the third cyclone 132 is provided with a third discharging port 1322. The third discharging port 1322 constitutes the waste port of the preheater 1.

[0068] Regarding a connection mode of the third cyclone cylinder 13, the third exhaust port 1321 is connected to the second air inlet 1211, and waste is discharged out of the third discharging port 1322.
