煤炭地下气化过程中固相污染物析出规律研究

Study on the Precipitation Pattern of Solid Phase Pollutants during Underground Coal Gasification

  • 摘要: 煤炭地下气化(UCG)过程中,待气化煤层区(干馏干燥带与还原带)的固相污染物组成及演化规律对环境影响显著。通过管式加热炉模拟两区域反应条件,并设置热解−还原对照实验,重点采用X射线衍射(XRD)技术,系统揭示了肥煤固相污染物的矿物相变规律及重金属赋存特征。结果表明:(1)干馏干燥带固相产物以高岭石、石英及无定形碳为主,高温(500 ℃以上)促使高岭石脱羟基转化为非晶态硅铝酸盐,同时Pb、Mn等重金属以氧化物形式存在;(2)还原带中检测到方铁矿(FeO)、金属铅(Pb0)及硫化铅(PbS),证实强还原环境促使重金属硫化或单质化;(3)热解温度显著影响重金属迁移性,低温(300 ℃)下Pb以PbS为主,高温(700 ℃)时Pb0结晶度显著提升。此外,Mn、Cu等重金属在热解过程中迁移能力较强,而Zn、Cd迁移能力较弱。本研究通过XRD技术明确了UCG固相污染物的矿物相变路径及重金属固定机制,为预测污染物环境行为及开发原位矿化封存技术提供了关键科学依据。

     

    Abstract: During Underground Coal Gasification (UCG), the composition and evolution of solid−phase pollutants in the target coal seam area−comprising the dry distillation−drying zone and the reduction zone−significantly influence environmental outcomes. In this study, a tube furnace was used to simulate the reaction conditions in these zones, and comparative pyrolysis−reduction experiments were conducted. X−ray diffraction (XRD) was systematically applied to investigate mineral phase transformations and the occurrence forms of heavy metals in solid pollutants. The main findings are as follows: (1) In the dry distillation−drying zone, solid pollutants are dominated by kaolinite, quartz, and amorphous carbon. Elevated temperatures (above 500 ℃) promote the dehydroxylation of kaolinite, converting it into amorphous aluminosilicates, while heavy metals such as lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) remain primarily in oxide forms. (2) In the reduction zone, the presence of wüstite (FeO), metallic lead (Pb0), and lead sulfide (PbS) indicates a strongly reducing environment that facilitates the reduction and sulfidation of heavy metals. (3) Pyrolysis temperature critically affects the mobility of heavy metals: Pb exists mainly as PbS at low temperatures (300 ℃), whereas the crystallinity of metallic Pb0 increases significantly at 700 ℃. Moreover, manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) exhibit higher mobility during pyrolysis, while zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) show lower mobility. By elucidating mineral transformation pathways and heavy metal immobilization mechanisms through XRD, this study provides a scientific basis for predicting pollutant behavior and developing in situ mineral carbonation sequestration strategies for UCG.
