Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of separation and purification of coal gasification synthesis gas, and specifically relates to a device and method for deep cold separation and purification of H2 and CO and co-production of LNG. Background Art

[0002] Synthesis gas (CO and H2) is an important basic chemical raw material, which can be used to synthesize ethylene glycol, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, phosgene, dimethyl acetate, formic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid and dimethylformamide. With the continuous development of new C1 chemical technologies, the purity requirements of CO and H2 in the synthesis process are gradually increasing. Synthesis gas (CO and H2) is mostly obtained by converting coal as raw material. According to the difference in coal types, coal gasification usually contains some methane and nitrogen after conversion, and the requirements for these two gases for subsequent synthesis units are also relatively high. Therefore, in order to obtain high-purity CO products (more than 98%), hydrogen, nitrogen and methane in the raw gas need to be removed. The main methods for CO purification and separation include cryogenic separation, physical absorption, pressure swing adsorption and membrane separation. Among them, cryogenic separation is to use the difference in gas boiling point composition to achieve gas separation through low-temperature distillation. Compared with other methods, it has the advantages of large processing capacity, high separation efficiency, low operating cost, small footprint and low investment, so it is favored by a large number of users.

[0003] At present, although the deep cold separation method of CO and H2 can separate most of H2 and CO, the methane gas separated at the bottom of the demethanizer during the separation process contains a large amount of CO, which does not meet the index requirements of liquefied natural gas products. At the same time, the methane gas is sent to the incineration device, and a large amount of CO in the methane gas is not effectively utilized, resulting in low CO yield in syngas separation and high production costs.
