The invention discloses a process for synthesizing
natural gas through
methanation of CO2-rich
coke-oven gas. The process comprises the following steps: compressing
coke-oven gas, pre-purifying, desulfurizing, carrying out CO2-rich conversion and three-stage
methanation reaction, separating
natural gas, extracting H2, and returning to prepare the
natural gas meeting the
national standard technical specification of the natural gas. According to the process, first-stage hot gas with
water vapor circulation is adopted, the outlet temperature of a first-stage reactor and the CO + CO2 content of inlet gas are controlled, most of carbon in
coke-oven gas reacts in the first-stage reactor, the second-stage reaction load and the third-stage reaction load are reduced, the catalyst dosage is reduced, and the process is suitable for high-carbon gas components and particularly suitable for CO2-rich environment gas; cO2 can be effectively converted into CO, the
carbon utilization rate is increased, carbon emission is reduced, side reactions such as
carbon deposition are reduced, the yield of
methane is increased, and the catalyst special for
methanation is long in service life and can stably run for a long time.
