[0021] (3) The methanation device reacts the hydrogen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production device with the circulating flue gas sent from the dust removal and desulfurization device to produce methane (containing saturated water vapor) to send the generated methane to the waste heat boiler I;
[0022] (4) Waste heat boiler I recovers the waste heat of methane (including saturated water vapor) sent from the methanation unit and produces steam as a by-product; the steam is sold externally, and the methane (including saturated water vapor) after waste heat recovery is decompressed and sent to the reforming unit;
[0023] (5) The reforming device conducts a methane reforming reaction with the methane (containing saturated water vapor) sent from the waste heat boiler I and part of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln; the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln enters the reforming device in two ways, one way enters the heat storage grid on one side of the reforming device to provide heat for the heat storage grid, and the heat storage grid provides heat for the raw gas of the reforming device in the next round. After the heat exchange, the circulating flue gas is depressurized and sent to the dust removal and desulfurization device; the other way and the methane (containing saturated water vapor) sent from the waste heat boiler I are sent to the heat storage grid on the other side of the reforming device. The heat storage grid has been heated by the circulating flue gas in the previous round. The heat storage grids on both sides work in rotation and are heated by the heat of the heat storage grid.

After heat exchange, the circulating flue gas temperature is reduced to 250-300°C, and the pressure is reduced to 0.1-0.2 MPa and then sent to the dust removal and desulfurization device; the other route and the methane (including saturated water vapor) sent by the waste heat boiler I are sent to the heat storage grid on the other side of the reforming device at the ratio of CH4:CO2 volume ratio = 2:1. The heat storage grid has been heated by the previous round of circulating flue gas. The heat storage grids on both sides work in rotation and are heated to 900-1000℃ by the heat of the heat storage grid. In the reaction bed of the reforming device at a pressure of 0.5-1.0MPa and the action of nickel-based catalyst, methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor undergo methane reforming reaction to generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The volume ratio of CO:H2 is about 3:5, the outlet temperature is 700-800℃, and the pressure is 0.5-1.0MPa, which is sent to the glass kiln as fuel.

[0036] After 3 to 5 hours of circulation and enrichment, the flue gas from the glass kiln reaches a balance in carbon dioxide concentration, which is above 95.0v%, with a temperature of 1300 to 1400°C and a pressure of 0.01 to 0.05MPa; the circulating flue gas is divided into two paths, one of which passes through the heat storage grid on the other side of the glass kiln to provide heat for the heat storage grid, and in the next round, the heat storage grid provides heat for the carbon-based oxygen-enriched gas sent from the mixer. After heat exchange, the circulating flue gas is cooled to 550 to 650°C, and the pressure is increased to 0.15 to 0.25MPa, and is sent to the mixer and waste heat boiler II; the other path does not pass through the heat storage grid of the glass kiln, the temperature is 1300 to 1400°C, the pressure is increased to 0.5 to 1.0MPa, and is sent to the reforming device.
[0037] Furthermore, the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln in step (7) has a carbon dioxide concentration of more than 95.0v%, a temperature of 550-650°C, and a pressure of 0.15-0.25MPa.

[0050] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system structure required for the zero-carbon glass kiln process of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0052] A zero-carbon glass kiln process, the system required for the process is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a photovoltaic power generation device, an air separation device, a water electrolysis hydrogen production device, a mixer, a methanation device, a waste heat boiler I, a reforming device, a glass kiln, a waste heat boiler II and a dust removal and desulfurization device.
[0053] Photovoltaic power generation devices are used to produce green electricity (green electricity) to provide power to air separation devices and water electrolysis hydrogen production devices. The main principle of photovoltaic power generation is the photoelectric effect of semiconductors. Under the irradiation of electromagnetic waves with a frequency higher than a certain frequency (this frequency is called the limit frequency), the electrons inside certain substances absorb energy and escape to form current, which is photoelectricity. Photovoltaic power generation has the advantages of being safe and reliable, noise-free, pollution-free, absolutely clean and pollution-free.
[0054] The air separation unit uses the green electricity provided by the photovoltaic power generation device as electrical energy to produce oxygen and nitrogen. The air separation unit produces oxygen and nitrogen by first compressing and cooling the air and liquefying it. The different boiling points of the oxygen and nitrogen components are used to make the gas and liquid contact on the distillation tower plate to exchange mass and heat. The high-boiling-point oxygen component is continuously condensed from the steam into liquid, and the low-boiling-point nitrogen component is continuously transferred into the steam, so that the nitrogen content in the rising steam is continuously increased, and the oxygen content in the downstream liquid is getting higher and higher, thereby separating oxygen and nitrogen. The oxygen purity produced by the air separation unit is above 99.6v%, at room temperature and pressure of 0.2-0.3MPa, and the nitrogen purity produced is above 99.9v%, at room temperature and pressure of 0.2-0.3MPa. Because the air separation unit uses the green electricity produced by the photovoltaic power generation device as electrical energy, the oxygen produced is green oxygen and the nitrogen produced is green nitrogen. The oxygen produced by the air separation unit is sent to the mixer, the oxygen sent by the water electrolysis hydrogen production unit, and the circulating flue gas sent by the glass kiln (the carbon dioxide concentration is above 95.0v%) to mix into carbon-based rich oxygen for combustion in the glass kiln. The nitrogen produced by the air separation unit is partially decompressed to 0.05MPa and then sent to the tin bath of the glass kiln as protective gas, and the rest is sold outside.
[0055] The water electrolysis hydrogen production device uses the green electricity provided by the photovoltaic power generation device as electrical energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Water electrolysis hydrogen production is a relatively convenient method for producing hydrogen. Direct current is passed into the electrolytic cell filled with electrolyte, and water molecules undergo electrochemical reactions on the electrodes and decompose into nitrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen produced by the water electrolysis hydrogen production device has a purity of more than 99.8v%, a temperature of 90-100°C, and a pressure of 2.5-3.0MPa. The oxygen produced has a purity of more than 99.0v%, a temperature of 90-100°C, and a pressure of 2.5-3.0MPa. Because the water electrolysis hydrogen production device uses the green electricity produced by the photovoltaic power generation device as electrical energy, the hydrogen produced is green hydrogen and the oxygen produced is green oxygen. The hydrogen produced by the water electrolysis hydrogen production device is sent to the methanation device for methanation reaction. The oxygen produced by the water electrolysis hydrogen production device is depressurized to 0.2-0.3MPa and sent to the mixer. The oxygen sent from the air separation device and the circulating flue gas (carbon dioxide concentration is above 95.0v%) sent from the glass kiln are mixed into carbon-based rich oxygen as a combustion aid for the glass kiln combustion.
[0056] Hydrogen production reaction equation by water electrolysis: 2H2O→2H2+O2
[0057] The mixer is used to mix the oxygen sent from the air separation unit, the oxygen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production unit and the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln into carbon-based rich oxygen as a combustion aid for the glass kiln combustion. The oxygen sent from the air separation unit has a purity of more than 99.6v%, room temperature, and a pressure of 0.2-0.3MPa. The oxygen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production unit has a purity of more than 99.0v%, a temperature of 90-100℃, and a pressure of 0.2-0.3MPa. The carbon dioxide concentration of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln is more than 95.0v%, a temperature of 550-650℃, and a pressure of 0.15-0.25MPa. The oxygen sent from the air separation unit, the oxygen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production unit, and the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln are respectively adjusted through regulating valves and then mixed into a carbon-based oxygen-enriched gas with an oxygen content of 21-30v%, a temperature of 460-480℃, and a pressure of 0.05-0.10MPa for use as a combustion aid for the glass kiln. The oxygen concentration is adjusted according to the requirements of different glass kilns.
[0058] The methanation device is used to methanate the hydrogen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production device and the circulating flue gas sent from the dust removal and desulfurization device. The purity of the hydrogen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production device is above 99.8v%, the temperature is 90-100℃, and the pressure is 2.5-3.0MPa. The carbon dioxide concentration of the circulating flue gas sent from the dust removal and desulfurization device is above 95.0v%, the temperature is 250-300℃, and the pressure is 2.5-3.0MPa. The two are sent to the methanation device at a volume ratio of H2:CO2 = 4:1. Under the action of the methanation nickel-based catalyst, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are catalytically converted to methane, and a large amount of heat is released at the same time. The purity of the generated methane is above 94.0v% (calculated as dry gas), the temperature is 390-410℃, and the pressure is 2.5-3.0MPa. Methane (including saturated water vapor) is sent to the waste heat boiler I.
[0059] Methanation reaction equation: 4H2+CO2→CH4+2H2O
[0060] Waste heat boiler I is used to recover the waste heat of methane (including saturated water vapor) sent from the methanation unit and produce steam as a by-product. The temperature of methane (including saturated water vapor) sent from the methanation unit is 390-410°C. After the waste heat is recovered by waste heat boiler I, the temperature is reduced to 240-260°C, and 1.5MPa steam is produced as a by-product for external sale. Because the more suitable pressure for the reforming reaction is 0.5-1.0MPa, the methane (including saturated water vapor) after waste heat recovery is decompressed to 0.5-1.0MPa and then sent to the reforming unit.
[0061] The reforming device is used for methane reforming reaction between methane (containing saturated water vapor) sent from waste heat boiler I and part of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass furnace. The methane purity of methane (containing saturated water vapor) sent from waste heat boiler I is above 94.0v% (calculated as dry gas), the temperature is 240-260℃, and the pressure is 0.5-1.0MPa. The carbon dioxide concentration of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass furnace is above 95.0v%, the temperature is 1300-1400℃, and the pressure is 0.5-1.0MPa. The circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln enters the reforming device in two ways. One way enters the heat storage grid on one side of the reforming device to provide heat for the heat storage grid. In the next round, the heat storage grid provides heat for the raw gas of the reforming device. After heat exchange, the circulating flue gas temperature is reduced to 250-300°C, and the pressure is reduced to 0.1-0.2MPa before being sent to the dust removal and desulfurization device; the other way and the methane (including saturated water vapor) sent from the waste heat boiler I are sent to the heat storage grid on the other side of the reforming device at a volume ratio of CH4:CO2 = 2:1. The heat storage grid (the heat storage grid has been heated by the previous round of circulating flue gas, and the heat storage grids on both sides work in rotation) is heated to 900-1000°C by the heat of the heat storage grid. In the reaction bed of the reforming device at a pressure of 0.5-1.0MPa and the action of nickel-based catalyst, methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor undergo methane reforming reaction to generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen, with a volume ratio of CO:H2 of about 3:5, and an outlet temperature of 700-800°C and a pressure of 0.5-1.0MPa, which is sent to the glass kiln as fuel.

The dust removal and desulfurization device consists of two parts, one is a high-temperature dust collector, and the other is a dry desulfurization device. The high-temperature dust collector uses cyclone separation for dust removal, and the dry desulfurization equipment uses zinc oxide for desulfurization. The circulating flue gas first passes through the high-temperature dust collector to remove dust, and then passes through the dry desulfurization equipment to remove hydrogen sulfide.

[0073] The process comprises the following steps:
[0074] (1) The photovoltaic power generation device produces green electricity to provide power to the air separation device and the water electrolysis hydrogen production device. The air separation device uses the green electricity provided by the photovoltaic power generation device as power to produce oxygen and nitrogen, and the oxygen purity is 99.6v%
[0075] The oxygen is sent to the mixer when the purity of nitrogen is above 99.9v%, the temperature is 0.2-0.3MPa, and the pressure is 0.2-0.3MPa.

The mixed carbon-based oxygen-enriched oxygen has a content of 21-30v%, a temperature of 460-480℃, and a pressure of 0.05-0.10MPa. The oxygen concentration is adjusted according to the requirements of different glass kilns.
[0078] (3) The methanation device reacts the hydrogen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production device with the circulating flue gas sent from the dust removal and desulfurization device. The purity of the hydrogen sent from the water electrolysis hydrogen production device is above 99.8v%, the temperature is 90-100°C, and the pressure is 2.5-3.0MPa. The carbon dioxide concentration of the circulating flue gas sent from the dust removal and desulfurization device is above 95.0v%, the temperature is 250-300°C, and the pressure is 2.5-3.0MPa.

The temperature of methane (including saturated water vapor) sent from the methanation unit is 390-410°C. After the waste heat is recovered by waste heat boiler I, the temperature is reduced to 240-260°C, and 1.5MPa steam is produced as a by-product for external sale. The methane (including saturated water vapor) after waste heat recovery is depressurized to 0.5-1.0MPa and sent to the reforming unit.
[0080] (5) The reforming device reforms the methane (containing saturated water vapor) sent from the waste heat boiler I and part of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln.

The carbon dioxide concentration of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln is above 95.0v%, the temperature is 1300-1400°C, and the pressure is 0.5-1.0MPa. The circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln enters the reforming device in two ways.

In the next round, the heat storage grid provides heat for the raw gas of the reforming device. After heat exchange, the circulating flue gas temperature is reduced to 250-300°C, and the pressure is reduced to 0.1-0.2MPa before being sent to the dust removal and desulfurization device; the other way and the methane (including saturated water vapor) sent from the waste heat boiler I are sent to the heat storage grid on the other side of the reforming device at a volume ratio of CH4:CO2 = 2:1. The heat storage grid (the heat storage grid has been heated by the previous round of circulating flue gas, and the heat storage grids on both sides work in rotation) is heated to 900-1000°C by the heat of the heat storage grid. In the reaction bed of the reforming device at a pressure of 0.5-1.0MPa and the action of nickel-based catalyst, methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor undergo methane reforming reaction to generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen, with a volume ratio of CO:H2 of about 3:5, and an outlet temperature of 700-800°C and a pressure of 0.5-1.0MPa, which is sent to the glass kiln as fuel.

In the glass kiln, carbon monoxide and hydrogen react with the help of carbon-based oxygen-rich combustion to provide heat for the glass kiln to produce molten glass.
[0082] After 3 to 5 hours of circulation and enrichment, the flue gas of the glass furnace reaches a balance of carbon dioxide concentration, with a carbon dioxide concentration of more than 95.0v%, a temperature of 1300 to 1400℃, and a pressure of 0.01 to 0.05MPa. The circulating flue gas is divided into two paths. One path passes through the heat storage grid on the other side of the glass furnace to provide heat for the heat storage grid. In the next round, the heat storage grid provides heat for the carbon-based oxygen-enriched gas sent from the mixer.

[0083] (7) Waste heat boiler II recovers the waste heat of the circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln and produces steam as a by-product. The circulating flue gas sent from the glass kiln has a carbon dioxide concentration of more than 95.0v%, a temperature of 550-650°C, and a pressure of 0.15-0.25MPa.

The circulating flue gas after waste heat recovery is sent to the dust removal and desulfurization device.
[0084] (8) The dust removal and desulfurization device removes dust and desulfurizes the circulating flue gas sent from the waste heat boiler II. The circulating flue gas first passes through the high-temperature dust collector in the dust removal and desulfurization device to remove dust, and then passes through the dry desulfurization equipment in the dust removal and desulfurization device to remove hydrogen sulfide. The carbon dioxide concentration of the circulating flue gas sent from the waste heat boiler II is above 95.0v%, the temperature is 250-300℃, and the pressure is 0.1-0.2MPa.

After flue gas is generated, the carbon-based enriched oxygen mixed with flue gas and oxygen (produced by air separation unit and water electrolysis hydrogen production unit) gradually replaces the air for combustion. After 3 to 5 hours of circulation enrichment, the carbon dioxide concentration in the circulating flue gas reaches equilibrium, and the carbon dioxide concentration is above 95.0v%.
