Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of new energy and ammonia energy, specifically to an integrated continuous magnesium nitride hydrolysis ammonia supply system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonia is considered a reliable alternative to hydrogen energy. It exists as a gas at room temperature and is easily liquefied and stored. Ammonia is a zero-carbon compound with high energy density and is also a hydrogen storage medium. As a hydrogen-rich fuel, its combustion products are water and nitrogen, which is environmentally friendly and widely used in energy storage, chemical raw materials, power generation, and agriculture.
[0003] The traditional Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis in the ammonia chemical industry is energy-intensive and emits greenhouse gases. The Haber-Bosch process still suffers from limitations such as high requirements for the purity of raw materials like hydrogen and nitrogen, high energy consumption, and high dependence on catalysts. Furthermore, industrial ammonia transportation primarily involves liquefying ammonia under high pressure at room temperature, storing it in high-pressure cylinders, and then transporting it, further increasing industrial production costs. Compared to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch ammonia production process, the process of preparing ammonia through the hydrolysis of metal nitrides is energy-efficient, less environmentally polluting, and uses readily available raw materials, making it a viable alternative. Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2), as an ammonia carrier, has advantages such as high safety and stable physicochemical properties, and is one of the commonly used materials for hydrolysis ammonia production. Magnesium nitride reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide, which can be recovered and smelted to obtain metallic magnesium again, contributing to sustainable industrial ammonia production. Magnesium nitride is usually obtained by nitriding metallic magnesium powder to produce 3Mg + N2(g) = Mg3N2. The reaction of magnesium nitride hydrolysis to produce ammonia is Mg3N2 + 6H2O = 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3(g).
[0004] In existing technologies, ammonia production still faces the following technical challenges: 1. The Haber-Bosch ammonia production process has high energy consumption, requiring high pressure (150–300 atm) and high temperature (400–500℃), and is highly dependent on catalyst activation of inert N2 molecules. The synthesis efficiency of the Haber-Bosch ammonia production reaction using an iron-based catalyst is only 10–20%, and a large amount of unreacted N2 / H2 needs to be recycled and compressed. The high-pressure system and gas circulation system required for the reaction further increase the costs of industrial production and equipment maintenance. Using nitride hydrolysis to produce ammonia has the advantages of low energy consumption and high ammonia production efficiency and is considered a viable alternative to the Haber-Bosch ammonia production process. However, it still suffers from low metal nitriding efficiency and the need to replenish / clean up hydrolysis reactants / products, resulting in discontinuous production and difficulty in achieving industrial-scale production.
[0005] 2. Existing processes for producing ammonia by hydrolysis of magnesium nitride typically involve placing magnesium nitride in a sealed device and continuously adding water as the reaction solution. Magnesium nitride reacts with water to produce magnesium oxide, releasing ammonia gas. The ammonia gas is absorbed by an absorbent to produce ammonia water, which is then used for further applications. This method results in low ammonia production efficiency, hindering the sustainable production and use of ammonia. The hydrolysis of magnesium nitride produces magnesium hydroxide: Mg3N2 + 6H2O = 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3(g).
[0006] Because the reaction process in existing magnesium nitride hydrolysis ammonia production systems is uncontrollable, sustainable ammonia production requires replenishing the reaction unit and separating and recovering the products after the magnesium nitride hydrolysis feedstock is completely consumed. In existing hydrolysis ammonia production systems, it is difficult to conveniently separate and recover solid reaction products from the reaction unit, resulting in unsustainable ammonia production and failing to meet actual usage demands. Furthermore, the storage and transportation of ammonia gas produced by the hydrolysis unit further increases operating costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated, continuous magnesium nitride hydrolysis ammonia supply system to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Beneficial effects: Compared with the Haber-Bosch ammonia production process, which has low raw material conversion rate and high energy consumption, this invention is based on magnesium nitride hydrolysis for ammonia production with high conversion rate and low energy consumption. The integrated system highly integrates the nitridation of metal raw materials, nitride hydrolysis and ammonia storage / use, and the modular design makes the system easy to maintain.
[0023] This system utilizes magnesium powder and nitrogen in a high-temperature reaction unit for nitridation. Unreacted nitrogen is condensed and recycled back to participate in the nitridation reaction, thus recycling nitrogen and improving its utilization rate. This effectively addresses the low raw material utilization problem of traditional hydrolysis ammonia production systems. The continuous hydrolysis reaction unit receives the magnesium nitride generated from the nitridation reaction and drives its flow to contact the sprayed reaction liquid, resulting in ammonia and reaction byproducts. The flowing magnesium nitride spraying facilitates the hydrolysis reaction, and a waste recovery unit cleans and collects the flowing reaction byproducts, enabling their separation and recovery. The continuous flow of magnesium nitride and the cleaning and collection of flowing reaction byproducts ensure continuous ammonia supply. An ammonia collection unit collects the ammonia, allowing for immediate use and eliminating the need for traditional liquid ammonia transportation via steel cylinders, saving costs and facilitating subsequent use.
[0024] Compared to traditional hydrolysis reaction devices, this system has a simpler structure, is easier to operate, and requires less maintenance, thus extending the lifespan of the device and reducing production costs. For the cleaning and recovery of solid products from the hydrolysis reaction in the integrated system, the internally designed solid scraper can clean the solid reaction byproducts remaining on the surface of the corrosion-resistant film without opening the device and transfer them to the product collection tank for collection. In addition, the provided water inlet rinsing device can assist in cleaning the solid residues remaining on the surface of the corrosion-resistant film. Attached Figure Description

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an integrated continuous magnesium nitridation hydrolysis ammonia supply system, including: a high-temperature reaction unit 1001, a continuous hydrolysis reaction unit 1002, a waste recovery unit 1004, and a control unit 32; the high-temperature reaction unit 1001 is used for magnesium powder and nitrogen to undergo a nitridation reaction, and unreacted nitrogen is condensed and refluxed to participate in the nitridation reaction again; the continuous hydrolysis reaction unit 1002 is used to receive magnesium nitride generated by the nitridation reaction in the high-temperature reaction unit 1001, drive the magnesium nitride to flow and contact the sprayed reaction liquid to undergo a hydrolysis reaction, generating ammonia and solid reaction byproducts; the waste recovery unit 1004 is used to clean and collect the solid reaction byproducts flowing in the hydrolysis reaction unit; the control unit 32 is connected to the high-temperature reaction unit 1001 and the continuous hydrolysis reaction unit 1002 respectively, and is used to collect the operating parameters of the nitridation reaction and the hydrolysis reaction in real time, analyze and process the collected operating parameters, and adjust the process parameters of the nitridation reaction and the hydrolysis reaction to control the stable development of the magnesium powder and nitrogen to complete the nitridation reaction and the hydrolysis reaction. This design utilizes magnesium powder and nitrogen gas in a high-temperature reaction unit 1001 for nitridation. Unreacted nitrogen gas is condensed and recirculated to participate in the nitridation reaction, thus recycling nitrogen gas, improving nitrogen utilization, and increasing the nitridation efficiency of magnesium powder. This effectively addresses the low raw material utilization problem of traditional hydrolysis ammonia production systems. A continuous hydrolysis reaction unit 1002 receives the magnesium nitride generated from the nitridation reaction and drives its flow to contact the sprayed reaction liquid, resulting in a hydrolysis reaction that generates ammonia gas and solid reaction byproducts. The hydrolysis reaction occurs through the spraying of flowing magnesium nitride. In conjunction with a waste recovery unit 1004, the flowing solid reaction byproducts are cleaned and collected. After the magnesium nitride hydrolysis raw material is completely consumed, the system can promptly replenish the magnesium nitride raw material and separate and recover the solid reaction byproducts to achieve continuous ammonia supply. The control unit 32 is connected to the high-temperature reaction unit 1001 and the continuous hydrolysis reaction unit 1002 respectively to collect the operating parameters of the nitride and hydrolysis reactions in real time. The system analyzes and processes the collected operating parameters and adjusts the process parameters of the nitride and hydrolysis reactions to control the stable progress of the magnesium powder and nitrogen nitride and hydrolysis reactions. This ensures that the reaction process in the magnesium nitride and hydrolysis ammonia production system is controllable, facilitates the separation and recovery of the solid reaction byproducts, and improves the sustainability of the reaction.
[0039] Reference Figure 1The high-temperature reaction unit 1001 includes a storage and feeding device 30, a high-temperature reaction tank 4, and a nitrogen circulation passage 9. The storage and feeding device 30 includes an inlet 1, a storage tank 2, and a regulating valve 3. The inlet 1 is located at the top of the storage tank 2, and the regulating valve 3 is located at the bottom of the storage tank 2. The bottom of the regulating valve 3 is connected to the inlet end of the high-temperature reaction tank 4. The nitrogen circulation passage 9 includes a condenser 8, an outlet of the high-temperature reaction tank 4, a condenser 8, and a return port of the high-temperature reaction tank 4, which are connected in series according to the airflow direction.

An inlet 5 for conveying nitrogen is installed on the filter 7 through a pipeline. An inlet valve 6 is installed on the inlet 5. This design is applied to the high-temperature reaction unit 1001.

The regulating valve 3 at the bottom of the storage tank 2 is adjusted to control the magnesium powder to be fed to the feed end of the high-temperature reaction tank 4 at a uniform speed, thus controlling the magnesium powder nitriding process. Then, the air inlet valve 6 is opened, and nitrogen gas is introduced into the high-temperature reaction tank 4 through the air inlet 5, so that the magnesium powder and nitrogen gas undergo a nitriding reaction in the high-temperature reaction tank 4 to generate magnesium nitride. Among them, the unreacted nitrogen gas is discharged from the air outlet of the high-temperature reaction tank 4, condensed by the condenser 8 according to the air flow direction, and then flows back into the high-temperature reaction tank 4 through the return port to participate in the nitriding reaction again, realizing nitrogen gas circulation and recycling, improving the nitrogen gas utilization rate, improving the nitriding efficiency of magnesium powder, and effectively improving the problem of low raw material utilization rate in traditional high-temperature nitriding reaction systems.
[0040] The control unit 32 includes a data acquisition module for real-time acquisition of operating parameters of the nitriding and hydrolysis reactions, and a processing module for analyzing and adjusting the process parameters of the nitriding and hydrolysis reactions based on the acquired operating parameters. The data acquisition module includes a first temperature sensor installed in the high-temperature reaction vessel 4, and the processing module includes a PLC controller.

The operating parameters of the nitriding reaction include the nitriding reaction temperature and the holding time. The process parameters of the nitriding reaction include a nitriding reaction temperature of 973-1073K and a holding time of 0-30min. This design monitors the nitriding reaction temperature in the high-temperature reaction vessel 4 through the first temperature sensor. When the temperature is lower than the set value, a signal is sent to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the heater to heat to the set value, and the high-temperature reaction vessel 4 is held at the set temperature for the set time. This facilitates real-time acquisition of the operating parameters of the nitriding reaction, analysis and processing of the acquired operating parameters, and adjustment of the process parameters of the nitriding reaction to ensure the stable progress of the nitriding reaction between magnesium powder and nitrogen.

This design utilizes multiple sets of transmission devices 12, each with a motor 121 driving a conveyor shaft 122. The conveyor shaft 122 then rotates the corrosion-resistant film 13 on it, facilitating the rectangular movement of the corrosion-resistant film 13. A second temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the reaction solution in water tank 141, a speed sensor monitors the movement speed of the corrosion-resistant film 13, and a mass sensor controls the amount of magnesium nitride discharged from the discharge valve of the feeder 11.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The waste recycling unit 1004 includes a solid scraper 15, a funnel 16, and a collection tank 31. Both the solid scraper 15 and the funnel 16 are located inside the reaction tank body. The solid scraper 15 is used to clean the solid reaction byproducts at the top of the lowest corrosion-resistant film 13 into the funnel 16. The solid scraper 15 is located at the lower part of the feeder 11 on the side away from the spray assembly 14. The solid scraper 15 includes a blade body 151, with a slope 152 on the side wall of the blade body 151. A through groove 153, connected to the slope 152 and matching the corrosion-resistant film 13, is provided on the slope 152. A file 154, in contact with the corrosion-resistant film 13, is provided on the slope 152. (See reference...) Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The top of the funnel 16 is provided with a sealing cover 161. A rotating shaft 163 is rotatably provided on the reaction tank body. A lever 162 connected to the sealing cover 161 is provided on the rotating shaft 163. The lever 162 rotates with the rotating shaft 163 to drive the sealing cover 161 to open and close. During the hydrolysis reaction, the sealing cover 161 is in the open state. When cleaning with the water inlet flushing device 29, the sealing cover 161 is in the closed state. The collection tank 31 is provided at the bottom of the reaction tank body. The funnel 16 is connected to the collection tank 31.

The funnel 16 is provided on the lower side of the inner wall of the reaction tank body and is connected to the collection tank 31. It is used to collect solids. The scraper 15 scrapes off the solid reaction byproducts. This design uses multiple sets of transmission devices 12 to drive the corrosion-resistant film 13 to move, which in turn moves the solid reaction byproducts to contact the solid scraper 15. Since the blade 151 of the solid scraper 15 is provided with an inclined surface 152, the accumulated solid reaction byproducts move along the inclined surface 152. The corrosion-resistant film 13 passes through the through groove 153. Under the action of the file 154 contacting the corrosion-resistant film 13, the solid reaction byproducts at the top of the bottom corrosion-resistant film 13 are continuously cleaned into the funnel 16. The solid reaction byproducts fall through the funnel 16 into the collection tank 31 at the bottom of the reaction tank body, directly below the funnel 16, thus completing the cleaning and centralized collection of solid waste. This facilitates the separation of reaction byproducts from the corrosion-resistant film 13, making it easy to clean and recycle the reaction byproducts without affecting the continued transport of magnesium nitride by the corrosion-resistant film 13, achieving continuous hydrolysis reaction and saving maintenance time.

The inlet 24 is connected to an inlet valve 25, and the drain 26 is connected to a drain valve 27. This design uses the inlet valve 25 of the inlet flushing device 29 to spray cleaning fluid onto the corrosion-resistant membrane 13 through the inlet 24 on the reaction tank body, thus rinsing the moving corrosion-resistant membrane 13. The waste liquid after cleaning is discharged through the drain outlet 26 located below the inlet 24, and the waste liquid discharge is controlled by the drain valve 27, achieving stable operation of integrated continuous magnesium nitride hydrolysis for ammonia supply. The inlet flushing device 29 can also be filled with dilute acid to dissolve residual magnesium hydroxide. When hydrolyzing through the funnel 16, the sealing cover 161 is in the open state, and when cleaning with the flushing device 29, the sealing cover 161 is in the closed state to prevent the cleaning liquid from entering the collection tank 31 from the funnel 16.
