煤炭地下气化热气共采技术气体产物特征与采热效率影响因素

Gas product features and determinants of heat extraction efficiency in underground coal gasification heat-gas co-production technology

  • 摘要: 煤炭地下气化热气共采技术是在煤炭地下气化(Underground Coal Gasification,UCG)的基础上,进一步提出的一种可实现资源充分回收利用的煤炭绿色开采技术。为验证煤炭地下气化热气共采技术,本研究开展了大型物理模拟试验,系统探究了煤层燃烧过程中气体产物及温度场时空演化规律,探讨了采热管采热效率及其影响因素。结果表明:煤原位燃烧受注入气体氧气体积分数的调控,氧气体积分数的增长能促进燃烧强度与扩展,而氧气体积分数每降低20%,煤炭消耗速率平均下降约0.83 kg/h。温度监测结果表明,温度场分布与燃烧强度与燃烧发展方向息息相关。受微裂纹网络发育特征的影响,试验中燃烧区优先沿注气管径向扩展同时向采热管R3方向偏移,温度场空间分布也因此表现出不均匀性。气体组分分析结果表明,提高氧气体积分数不仅直接提升了燃烧反应强度增加了气体产物中CO2含量,其创造的高温环境更促进了Boudouard反应、水煤气反应和煤热解等物理化学反应,从而协同增加了CO、H2及CH4的产量,最终使得气化气热值与氧气体积分数呈正相关。对采热管采热效率的分析结果表明,采热效率由采热管空间位置、流体流量与管路结构等共同决定。紧邻燃烧区的管路R1初始响应迅速且流体进出口平均温差最高(47.89 ℃),但拥有更大换热面积与更高流量的管路R3能实现更高的采热效率与累积采热量。同时,采热效率直接受燃烧强度影响,表现为随氧含量的减少而下降。

     

    Abstract: Underground coal gasification heat-gas co-production technology is a coal mining technology developed further from underground coal gasification (UCG), designed to achieve the full recovery and sustainable utilization of coal resources. To validate the underground coal gasification heat-gas co-production technology, this study performed large-scale physical simulation experiments to systematically investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of gas products and temperature fields during coal seam combustion. Additionally, the study explored the heat extraction efficiency of the heat-extraction pipes and its influencing factors. The results indicate that in-situ coal combustion is influenced by the oxygen volume fraction in the injected gas. An increase in oxygen volume fraction enhances both the combustion intensity and its expansion. Moreover, for every 20% reduction in oxygen volume fraction, the coal consumption rate decreases by approximately 0.83 kg/h. Temperature monitoring results indicate that the distribution of the temperature field is closely linked to both the combustion intensity and its direction of propagation. Due to the development characteristics of the microcrack network, the combustion zone in the experiment preferentially expands radially along the gas injection pipe, simultaneously shifting toward the heat extraction pipe R3. Consequently, the spatial distribution of the temper-ature field exhibits an unevenness. The gas composition analysis shows that increasing the oxygen volume fraction not only directly enhances the combustion reaction intensity and raising the CO2 content in the gas products, but also creates a high-temperature environment that accelerates physical and chemical reactions, such as the Boudouard reaction, water-gas shift reaction, and coal pyrolysis. This increases the yields of CO, H2, and CH4, ultimately establishing a positive correlation between the calorific value of the gasification gas and the oxygen volume fraction. The analysis of heat extraction efficiency reveals that the efficiency is influ-enced by a combination of factors, including the spatial positioning of the heat extraction pipe, the fluid flow rate, and the pipeline structure. The pipeline R1, located close to the combustion zone, exhibits a rapid initial response and the highest average tem-perature difference (47.89 ℃) between the fluid inlet and outlet. However, pipeline R3, with a larger heat exchange area and higher flow rate, delivers higher heat extraction efficiency and cumulative heat extraction. Additionally, heat extraction efficiency is directly affected by combustion intensity, decreasing as the oxygen concentration decreases.
