Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing methanol by coal mine methane (CMM), which belongs to the basic chemical raw material and energy field. The desulfurized coal mine methane is subject to the auto-thermal reforming and external heating reforming under the existence of catalyst to generate H2, CO2, CO, and a small quantity of mixed gas of CH4 and N2, the mixed gas is separated through two-section pressure swing absorption to respectively generate product gas containing CO, CO2 and a small quantity of N2 and product gas containing more than 98 percent of H2, the product gas is mixed to generate synthesis gas used to prepare the methanol, and the methanol synthesis gas is pressurized and then is sent into a methanol synthetic system to synthesize the methanol. The method prepares the chemical raw material methanol by the coal mine methane which must be discharged during the coal mining process, provides a methanol preparation method with lower energy consumption and smaller pollution to the environment, also provides an approach of high value utilization of the coal mine methane at the same time, reduces the pollution of the discharge of the coal mine methane to the environment, and ensures that the energy and the resource can be effectively utilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing methanol by using coal bed gas, which belongs to the field of basic chemical raw materials and energy. Background technique [0002] my country has abundant coalbed methane resources. It is predicted that the resources are equivalent to 45 billion tons of standard coal, which is equivalent to the resources of conventional natural gas. In the process of coal mining, the total amount of coalbed methane emitted to the atmosphere every year reaches 19.4 billion m 3 , The discharge of coalbed methane not only pollutes the local air environment, causing serious environmental damage, but also wastes energy resources. [0003] Coalbed methane (CMM) is a gas rich in methane, and the methane concentration is above 40%, and the highest one can reach above 80%. Coalbed methane can usually be directly used as local domestic fuel and power generation. Because the price of coalbed methane is relatively low, while the ...
