Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bioconversion, and in particular relates to a system and a method for preparing bio-jet fuel by utilizing biogas bioconversion. Background Art
[0002] Greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation industry are one of the fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Biojet fuel, as an aviation fuel produced from renewable resources, has the advantage of low carbon emissions and has become an effective way to achieve the goal of zero-carbon aviation. Although many companies are currently conducting research on the manufacture of biojet fuel, its high production cost still limits its large-scale promotion, and achieving low-cost, green, low-carbon and sustainable biojet fuel production faces huge challenges. Therefore, exploring practical and efficient biojet fuel manufacturing processes is of great practical significance to the development of the aviation industry.
[0003] Different types of raw materials can be converted into bio-jet fuel through different technical paths, including alcohol-based jet fuel, oil-based jet fuel, gas-based jet fuel and sugar-based jet fuel. However, the prices of alcohol and oil raw materials are relatively high. When using synthesis gas as raw material, the technology is difficult and the equipment cost is high. The conversion rate of sugar raw materials is low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-cost, high-conversion method for preparing bio-jet fuel.
[0004] As an important part of urban domestic waste, food waste is generated in large quantities and grows rapidly. There are various treatment methods but the efficiency varies. The accumulation of large amounts of food waste has important impacts on the environment, ecology, economy and other aspects. Therefore, how to utilize food waste as a resource is an urgent problem to be solved in the process of urban development. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a system and method for preparing bio-jet fuel by biogas biological conversion, so as to solve the problems of high cost and low conversion rate of the existing bio-jet fuel preparation methods.

[0014] Further preferably, the oil extraction unit further comprises an extractive distillation tower and a vacuum distillation tower, and the separation and purification module, the extractive distillation tower, the vacuum distillation tower and the hydrodeoxygenation reactor are connected in sequence.
[0015] The second aspect of the present invention discloses a method for preparing bio-jet fuel by utilizing biogas biological conversion, comprising: performing anaerobically digestion on food waste to obtain biogas containing methane and carbon dioxide; mixing oxygen with the biogas containing methane and carbon dioxide to obtain an oxygen-biogas mixture; and subjecting the oxygen-biogas mixture to biological fermentation, separation, oil extraction, and hydrogenation and deoxygenation to generate bio-jet fuel.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a method for preparing bio-jet fuel by biogas bioconversion, which uses food waste as raw material, generates biogas through anaerobic digestion; uses biogas as raw material, introduces oxygen for biological fermentation and cell crushing to obtain oil, and then uses oil as raw material to synthesize bio-jet fuel, thereby resource-utilizing food waste bioconversion to obtain bio-jet fuel. In this method, firstly, using food waste as raw material to prepare bio-jet fuel can reduce production costs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve the successful preparation of negative-cost carbon resources to high-value-added bio-jet fuel; secondly, biogas containing methane and carbon dioxide is produced by fermentation of food waste, and methane and carbon dioxide are simultaneously fixed by co-cultivation in the same bioreactor, which can improve the conversion efficiency of one carbon gas in biogas.

[0018] Furthermore, by installing a desulfurization device in the anaerobic digestion unit of food waste to remove hydrogen sulfide, it is possible to prevent corrosion of the system and avoid affecting the stable operation of the process system.
[0019] Furthermore, since a high yield cannot be guaranteed when the food waste particle size is large, a grinder is added to pre-grind the food waste to increase the biogas yield of anaerobic digestion of the food waste. Since the moisture content of food waste is generally as high as 60% to 80%, too high a moisture content will affect the subsequent reaction, so a dryer is added to reduce the moisture content of the food waste.
[0020] Furthermore, the second compressor and the pressure swing adsorption device provided in the anaerobic digestion unit of food waste can reduce process costs by directly preparing oxygen from air. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] (5) Cogeneration unit: The waste residue and wastewater generated in the whole process are mixed and enter the second anaerobic fermentation tank 34. Under the conditions of 35°C and 1 bar, waste gas and nitrogen-containing sludge are produced by anaerobic fermentation. After that, the waste gas and nitrogen-containing sludge are separated in the fourth flash tank 35.
[0054] The waste gas separated from the fourth flash tank 35 is mixed with the waste gas generated by the anaerobic fermentation unit of the food waste and the biomass production unit in the fourth mixer 37 and then enters the combustion chamber 38. At the same time, the air from the seventh compressor 36 is compressed to 3 bar and then enters the combustion chamber 38. Methane, hydrogen and other waste gases are burned with oxygen in the combustion chamber 38 at 1600°C. The combustion process generates a large amount of high-temperature waste heat, which is used to generate electricity through the gas turbine 39. At the same time, high-temperature waste heat is obtained and used to heat the anaerobic digestion of food waste, biomass production, oil extraction and bio-jet fuel production units through heat exchange equipment. The high-temperature gas generated by the gas turbine 39 for power generation is cooled by the second cooler 40 to obtain cooling gas, which is discharged as process tail gas.
[0055] The nitrogen-containing sludge separated in the fourth flash tank 35 is centrifuged in the third centrifuge 41 to become a process by-product nitrogen fertilizer with a moisture content of about 52%, which is used for agricultural production.
[0056] The present invention constructs a process simulation for preparing bio-jet fuel from biogas, analyzes the energy flow and material flow, and couples the components to determine the corresponding key operating parameters, and provides a technical path for preparing bio-jet fuel directly from biogas produced by anaerobic digestion of food waste through bio-fermentation technology.
