e i APPARATUS FOR HEATING PARTICLES The present invention relates to an apparatus for heating particles, in particular an apparatus for heating particles of a hydrocarbon-bearing substrate, for example oil shale, tar sand or a bituminous coal in order to extract hydrocarbons from such hydrocarbonbearing substrate.
Such extraction is carried out at a temperature of at least 400°C in the substantial absence of oxygen. In the case of oil shale this process is usually called retorting and in the case of bituminous coal 10 this process is usually called pyrolysis.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for heating particles which allows efficient heat transfer to the particles in the particular temperature range.
To this end the apparatus for heating particles according to the present invention comprises: a heating vessel provided with two interconnected series of interconnected compartments, a particle inlet associated with the first compartment of the first series, a particle outlet associated with the last compartment of the second series, means for introducing fluidizing 20 gas into each of the compartments and gas outlet means for removing gas from the heating vessel; a cooling vessel provided with two interconnected series of interconnected compartments, a particle inlet associated with the first compartment of the first series, a particle outlet associated with the last compartment of the second series, means for introducing fluidizing gas into each of the compartments and gas outlet means for removing gas from the cooling vessel; a first group of heat transfer loops for transferring heat from a compartment of the first series of the cooling vessel to a compai Lment of the second series of the heating vessel; and a second group of heat transfer loops for transferring heat from a compartment of the second series of the cooling vessel to a compartment of the first series of the heating vessel, wherein the heat transfer medium in the first group of heat transfer loops comprises a mixture of metal carbonates, and wherein the heat transfer medium in the second group of heat transfer loops comprises 1 a mixture of metal nitrates.
X PIL14 M/1373y o- -2- The invention will now be described in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows schematically a top view of a first embodiment of the invention; and Figure 2 shows schematically a part of the top view df a second embodiment of the invention.
The apparatus for heating particles comprises a first vessel 1 provided with a first series 2 of interconnected compartments 3, 4, 5 and 6, and a second series 10 of interconnected compartments 11, 12, 13 and 14. Associated with the first compartment 3 of the first series 2 is a particle inlet 16 and associated with the last compartment 14 of the second series 10 is a particle outlet 19. The heating vessel 1 is further provided with means (not shjwn) for introducing fluidizing gas into the compartments arranged in the lower part of each compartment, and 15 gas outlet means (not shown) arranged at the upper parts of the compartments.
*000 r PP 0 0 ,1tV373y 3 The apparatus for heating particles further comprises a cooling vessel 20 provided with a first series 22 of interconnected compartments 23, 24, 25 Q4ll 26, and a second series 30 of interconnected compartments 31, 32, 33 and 34. Associated with the first compartment 23 of the first series 22 is a particle inlet 36 and associated with the last compartment 34 of the second series 30 is a particle outlet 39. The cooling vessel 20 is further provided with means (not shown) for introducing fluidizing gas into the compartments arranged in the lower part of each compartment, and gas outlet means (not shown) arranged at the upper parts of the compartments.
The compartments in the heating vessel 1 and in the 1 5 cooling vessel 20 are separated from each other by separating means 42 which allow controlled flow of particles from one compartment to the next compartment.
For the sake of clarity the reference numerals of only a few separating means have been shown. The separating means can be a weir extending from the lower part of the vessel upwardly, or a baffle extending from the upper part of the vessel downwardly. The weir or the 2 baffle can be provided with openings.
To transfer heat from a compartment of the first series 22 of the cooling vessel 20 to a compartment of the second series 10 of the heating vessel 1, the apparatus comprises a first group of heat transfer loops. The first group of heat transfer loops comprises the heat transfer loops 50, 51, 52 and 53. The heat transfer medium in the first group of heat transfer loops is a mixture of metal carbonates. A suitable composition o2 the mixture is between 25 and 35 %w Li 2 C0 3 between 25 and 35 %w Na2CO 3 and between 35 and %w K2CO3.
I 4 To transfer heat from a compartment of the second series 30 of the cooling vessel 20 to a compartment of the first series 2 of the heating vessel 1, the apparatus comprises a second group of heat transfer loops. The second group of heat transfer loops comprises the heat transfer loops 61, 62, 63 and 64.
The heat transfer medium in the second group of heat transfer loops is a mixture of metal nitrates. A suitable composition of the mixture is between 55 and 65 %w NaNO 3 and between 35 and 45 %w KNO 3 During normal operation fluidizing gas is supplied to the means for introducing fluidizing gas into the compartments of the heating vessel 1 and of the cooling vessel 20. Shale particles at a temperature between 250 and 370 °C are supplied to the particle inlet 16 of the heating vessel 1. The shale particles move from the first compartment 3 of the heating vessel 1 in the form of a fluidized bed via the separating means 42 into the second 4 compartment and so on into the last compartment 14. In the heating vessel 1 the shale particles are heated as described below so that hydrocarbons are liberated. The liberated hydrocarbons are removed from the vessel 1 through the gas outlet means. The shale particles from which hydrocarbons are liberated are referred to as retorted shale particles.
The amount of fluidizing gas introduced into the compartments of the heating vessel 1 is so selected that the total superficial gas velocity at the upper end of the bed is between 0.3 and 1.5 m/s. Retorted shale particles are withdrawn from the heating vessel 1 through particle outlet 19. From there the retorted shale particles are passed to a combustor where coke present on the retorted shale particles is combusted to obtain hot spent shale particles.
N
At least part of the hot spent shale particles is supplied to the particle inlet 36 of the cooling vessel at a temperature between 750 and 1 000 The shale particles move from the first compartment 23 of the cooling vessel 20 in the form of a fluidized bed via the separating means 42 into the second compartment 24 and so on into the last compartment 34. In the cooling vessel 20 the shale particles are cooled as described below. The amount of fluidizing gas introduced into the compartments of the cooling vessel 20 is so selected that the superficial gas velocity at the upper end of the bed is between 0.1 and 1.5 m/s. Cooled shale particles are withdrawn from the cooling vessel through particle outlet 39.
The shale particles in the first series 2 of interconnected compartments of the heating vessel 1 are heated by means of heat transfer medium circulating through the heat transfer loops 64, 63, 62 and 61 of the second group of heat transfer loops, which heat transfer medium is heated by hot spent shale particles passing through the second series 30 of interconnected compartments of the cooling vessel 20. The shale particles in the second series 10 of interconnected compartments of the heating vessel 1 are heated by means of heat transfer medium circulating through the heat transfer loops 53, 52, 51 and 50 of the first group of heat transfer loops, which heat transfer medium is heated by hot spent shale particles passing through the first series 22 of interconnected compartments of the cooling vessel In the first series 22 of interconnected compartments of the cooling vessel 20 the hot spent shale is cooled from a temperature between 750 and 1 000 0 C to a a temperature between 700 and 800 cC, and in the second series 30 of interconnected compartments -6of the cooling vessel 20 the hot spent shale is cooled to a temperature between 600 and 700 0

The area of the heat exchange surface of the second group in the heating vessel 1 is between 0.3 and 0.6 times the area of the heat exchange surface of the first group in the heating vessel 1.
The shale particles supplied to the inlet 16 of the heating vessel 1 are preheated. This is done by heat exchange with the cooled spent shale leaving the cooling vessel 20 in a preheater.
