Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of energy conversion and chemical synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for synthesizing high-value products using refinery furnace gas. Background Technology
[0002] China's steel industry consumes approximately 15% of the nation's total industrial energy consumption, accounts for 26% of total industrial emissions, and contributes about 15% of the nation's total carbon emissions. Refineries have long produced blast furnace gas / converter gas, primarily composed of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen (N2). Aside from its use for heating, most of this refinery gas is used for power generation, with a thermal efficiency of only 30%–40%. Power generation using refinery gas (mainly through carbon monoxide combustion) is highly carbon-emitting, with a carbon emission coefficient of 1940 g CO2 equivalent / kWh, far exceeding that of grid power (590 g CO2 equivalent / kWh) and even coal-fired power generation (930 g CO2 equivalent / kWh). Currently, domestic refineries have largely balanced the use of their blast furnace gas, but whether used in processes or for power generation, the carbon monoxide in the gas is converted into carbon dioxide emissions, failing to achieve a fundamental reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
[0003] Replacing coal-based carbon monoxide with refinery furnace gas as a feedstock, and producing high-value-added products such as methanol, ethanol, natural gas, or polymers through chemical carbonylation processes, avoids the high-carbon-emission method of converting carbon in refinery furnace gas into electricity. This is a key step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the steel and chemical industries. While extracting carbon monoxide from refinery furnace gas as a non-fossil feedstock improves the quality of furnace gas utilization and eliminates traditional C1 chemical gasification and air separation processes, it also faces the drawback of not being able to utilize the large amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen resources in the furnace gas and thus having to be released.
[0004] Furthermore, since the synthesis of these typical chemical products generally involves a hydrogenation process, companies with coking facilities can achieve this by separating hydrogen from coke oven gas. However, for companies without coking facilities, securing a cheap hydrogen source is the primary challenge. Additionally, the matching raw material structure (such as the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio) required for synthesizing these typical chemical products typically necessitates supplementary gas processes to compensate for the process variations, thus limiting their large-scale application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for synthesizing high-value products using refinery furnace gas, in order to solve the problems of low utilization rate of refinery furnace gas and generation of carbon dioxide greenhouse gas.
[0006] This method uses furnace gas (mainly blast furnace gas or converter gas) generated by refineries over a long period of time as a non-fossil feedstock. After optimizing the structure (hydrogen-to-carbon ratio and hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio) of the gas products obtained from each stage of the three-stage chemical loop reforming reactor, the gas is pressurized and sent to a methanol or ammonia synthesizer. This solves the problem that carbon dioxide and nitrogen cannot be utilized when using refinery furnace gas as a feedstock to replace coal-based carbon monoxide for chemical carbonylation synthesis of high-value products. At the same time, it solves the problem of additional costs and carbon emissions faced by other methods of hydrogen production.
[0007] This method optimizes the process flow by using the oxygen-depleted air (mainly nitrogen) product obtained from the oxidation process in the air reactor of the three-stage chemical loop reactor as a high-purity nitrogen source for the ammonia synthesis process. This solves the problem of nitrogen source loss caused by the long-term release and treatment of oxygen-depleted air products in the traditional process.
[0008] This method also uses coke oven gas produced in the coke oven process to produce syngas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) and hydrogen through chemical loop reforming. The syngas can be returned to the waste heat boiler to recover heat and then used as a product, or fed into the methanol synthesizer after adjusting the gas structure (hydrogen-to-carbon ratio) as needed. The hydrogen can be used independently as a supplementary gas source to compensate for the mismatch in raw material structure during the process, expanding the refinery's flue gas industrial route and solving the problem of obtaining a cheap hydrogen source (0.868 yuan / Nm³) for the supplementary gas stage. 3 The problem is...
[0009] This method optimizes the process flow by purifying excess unreacted gas in the methanol or ammonia synthesizer through an absorption tower to achieve the gas structure required for methanol or ammonia synthesis, and then reusing it in the mixing and homogenization process to replace part of the fresh gas source. This solves the problem of low single-pass conversion rate of synthesis gas leading to long-term circulation and enrichment of large amounts of unreacted gas, requiring periodic venting or replenishment of fresh gas to maintain normal operation of the process.

[0052] The crude furnace gas produced by the refinery units, including crude blast furnace gas and converter gas, is purified by dust removal and purification units to obtain clean blast furnace gas or converter gas. The low-grade heat energy in the furnace gas is recovered by the first waste heat boiler 7. The clean blast furnace gas or converter gas is sent as gaseous fuel to the first fuel reactor 12 of the three-stage chemical loop reactor.

The low-grade heat energy in the depressurized unreacted gas is recovered by the second waste heat boiler 52 and sent to the first tower preheater 47 to replace part of the heat energy.
[0058] The nitrogen in the second saturated storage tank 15 and the hydrogen in the third saturated storage tank 22 are adjusted to a hydrogen-nitrogen ratio. Any insufficient hydrogen is supplemented by hydrogen from the fourth saturated storage tank 34. The adjusted gas stream is then fed into the second mixing and homogenizing unit 57, where it is formulated into ammonia synthesis feed gas. After reaching the standard pressure via the second pressurization buffer 58, the ammonia synthesis feed gas is fed into the second preheater 61. The preheated ammonia synthesis feed gas is then fed into the second synthesis tower 62. The top desorption product from the second synthesis tower 62 is fed into the second gas-liquid separator 64. Liquid ammonia is obtained through gas-liquid separation; the unreacted gas from the top of the second synthesis tower 62 is sent to the second absorption tower 65, and after absorption and purification, it is returned to the second mixing and homogenizing unit 57 to replace part of the fresh ammonia raw material gas; the low-grade heat energy in the unreacted gas is recovered by the third waste heat boiler 66 and sent to the preheater 61 before the second tower to replace part of the heat energy; through optimized process design, the third waste heat boiler 66 can be completely replaced by the second waste heat boiler 52, that is, the second waste heat boiler 52 and the third waste heat boiler can be integrated into one waste heat boiler.

The dust-removed furnace gas is then sent sequentially to a catalytic purifier 5 containing a specific catalyst and a first adsorption purifier 6 containing a specific adsorbent to remove most of the pollutants and obtain clean blast furnace gas. The specific process can be referred to in existing dust removal and purification processes. This embodiment of the present invention will not explain it in detail.
[0073] S2. The cleaned blast furnace gas, after dust removal and purification, is fed into the first fuel reactor 12 of the first stage of the three-stage chemical loop reactor after heat energy recovery via the first waste heat boiler 7. The first waste heat boiler 7 is located downstream of the purification process to recover the waste heat of the furnace gas as low-grade heat energy to supply subsequent processes. The temperature of the first fuel reactor 12 is set at 550℃. The first fuel reactor 12 is equipped with a solid oxygen-carrying material, which is a self-made cerium-iron-zirconium / MgO honeycomb ceramic integral oxygen carrier. The solid oxygen-carrying material loses oxygen in the high-temperature environment and reacts with carbon monoxide in the blast furnace gas to generate carbon dioxide. At the end of the first fuel reactor 12, a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen is output as tail gas, in which the purity of carbon dioxide is 45% and the purity of nitrogen is 55%. The mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen is fed into an adsorption separator 13, where the two are separated by the existing adsorption separation process to obtain near-pure carbon dioxide and near-pure nitrogen. The near-pure carbon dioxide is sent to the first saturated storage tank 14, and the near-pure nitrogen is sent to the second saturated storage tank 15. The solid oxygen-carrying material used in the first fuel reactor 12 is a self-made cerium-iron-zirconium honeycomb ceramic integral oxygen carrier, as disclosed in invention patent CN101857458B.
[0074] S3. After step S2, the solid oxygen-carrying material becomes an oxygen-depleted solid material. The oxygen-depleted solid material is sent to the first steam reactor 19 of the second stage of the three-stage chemical loop reactor. The temperature of the first steam reactor 19 is set to 550°C. At the same time, the low-grade heat energy recovered by the first waste heat boiler 7 drives the steam generated by the steam generator 16 and sends it into the first steam reactor 19. The oxygen-depleted solid material and the steam undergo a reforming reaction in a high-temperature environment to generate hydrogen. After being condensed by the first heat exchanger 20 at the end of the first steam reactor 19, near-pure hydrogen is output and sent to the third saturated storage tank 22. The purity of the hydrogen is 99.9%. The oxygen-depleted solid material achieves partial oxygen recovery in the first steam reactor 19, resulting in a partially oxygen-recovered solid material.
[0075] S4. The partially oxygen-recovered solid material is sent to the air reactor 23 of the third stage of the chemical chain three-stage reactor. The temperature of the air reactor 23 is set to 550°C. The pure air loses oxygen in the high-temperature environment. A small amount of unreacted oxygen and nitrogen mixture is output at the end of the air reactor 23 and passed into the second adsorption purifier 24. After the existing adsorption purification process, near-pure nitrogen is enriched and sent to the second saturated storage tank 15. The purity of the nitrogen is 99.9%. The partially oxygen-recovered solid material achieves complete oxygen recovery in the air reactor 23 and is returned to the first fuel reactor 12 of the first stage of the chemical chain three-stage reactor for recycling. The heat energy generated in the high-temperature oxygen-depleted air is recovered by the first waste heat boiler 7.
[0076] S5. The crude coke oven gas emitted from Refinery Unit 2 is purified by dust removal and pollutant removal to obtain clean coke oven gas. The purified coke oven gas is then fed into the second fuel reactor 29, the first stage of the chemical loop reactor. The temperature of the second fuel reactor 29 is set at 850℃. The second fuel reactor 29 is equipped with a solid oxygen carrier material, which is a self-made A-site strontium-doped perovskite oxygen carrier. After condensation by the second heat exchanger 30 at the end of the second fuel reactor 29, a synthesis gas product consisting of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is output. The synthesis gas product includes carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The synthesis gas can be returned to the first waste heat boiler 7 to recover heat and then sold as a product, or the structure of carbon monoxide and hydrogen can be adjusted as needed and then sent to the methanol synthesis process.
[0077] The solid oxygen-carrying material is transformed into an oxygen-depleted solid material, which is then sent to the second steam reactor 32 of the second stage of the chemical loop reactor. Simultaneously, steam generated by the steam generator 16 is fed into the second steam reactor 32. The oxygen-depleted solid material and steam undergo a reforming reaction at high temperature to generate hydrogen. After condensation by the third heat exchanger 33 at the end of the second steam reactor 32, near-pure hydrogen is output and sent to the fourth saturated storage tank 34. The purity of the hydrogen is 99.9%. Similarly, the heat energy of the second steam reactor 32 comes from the low-grade heat energy recovered from the first waste heat boiler 7 to drive the steam generated by the steam generator 16. The solid oxygen-carrying material used in the second fuel reactor 29 is a self-made A-site doped perovskite oxygen carrier, as disclosed in invention patent CN111232920B.

In step S3, the volume ratio of hydrogen is 30%, and in step S5, the volume ratio of hydrogen is 70%. The volume ratio of hydrogen in steps S3 and S5 is affected by their respective production capacities.
[0079] S7. The raw material gas for methanol synthesis is sent into the first pressurization buffer 44, and after being pressurized to 4 MPa by the compressor, it is sent into the first tower preheater 47. The temperature of the first tower preheater 47 is set to 140℃. The gas buffer is linked to the pressurization process to prevent intermittent fluctuations in the working load in the compression pipeline and to provide an excellent working environment for the subsequent methanol synthesis process.
[0080] S8. The preheated methanol feed gas is fed into the first synthesis tower 48 to react with the catalyst, which is a self-made 240 nm ordered hierarchical porous copper-based oxide material. The temperature of the first synthesis tower 48 is set to 220℃. The reaction product is condensed at the end of the first synthesis tower 48 by the fourth heat exchanger 49 and then enters the first gas-liquid separator 50. After gas-liquid separation, crude methanol is obtained, achieving a carbon dioxide conversion rate of 14.6% and a methanol selectivity of 71.3%. The unreacted gas desorbed from the top of the first synthesis tower 48 enters the first absorption tower 51. After purification by the first absorption tower 51, it is returned to the first mixing and homogenizing unit 43 to replace part of the fresh methanol feed gas. The usable volume of the unreacted gas replacing the fresh methanol feed gas is 30%. The second waste heat boiler 52 is set downstream of the first absorption tower 51. The low-grade heat energy in the depressurized unreacted gas is recovered by the second waste heat boiler 52 and sent to the first tower preheater 47 to replace part of the heat energy.
