Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of methanol production, and particularly relates to a carbon-hydrogen recovery system and a recovery method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen is an important chemical raw material and an important clean energy, and the water-gas hydrogen production, the cracked petroleum gas hydrogen production, the methanol cracking hydrogen production, the ammonia cracking hydrogen production, the water electrolysis hydrogen production and the like have high energy consumption.

[0003] In view of the characteristics of coal chemical industry that carbon is more and hydrogen is less, in order to improve the utilization efficiency of raw materials in the coal-to-methanol process, the methanol production device generally recovers and reuses hydrogen in the purge gas by using membrane separation and PSA technology. After hydrogen recovery, part of the desorption gas is produced, the desorption gas is used as tail gas, and a certain amount of CO and H2 is contained in the desorption gas, and the pressure of the desorption gas is low. Traditionally, the tail gas is burned as waste gas by being led to a flare. The crude methanol is subjected to pressure reduction flash evaporation before being subjected to rectification, so as to remove non-condensable gas contained in the crude methanol. The flash evaporation gas contains part of unreacted CO and H2, and the flash evaporation gas is traditionally used as fuel gas. A part of low-pressure methanol tail gas is produced at the top of the methanol pre-distillation column, and the low-pressure methanol tail gas also contains unreacted CO and H2. The low-pressure methanol tail gas is generally burned as waste gas by being led to a flare. That is, the prior art has the problems that H2 and CO cannot be fully recovered and utilized, and resources are wasted.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, CN 111943139A discloses a recovery and utilization system and method for methanol purge gas of a coal-to-olefin device. The method is a recovery and utilization system for methanol purge gas, that is, the purge gas is first subjected to membrane separation, and the non-permeation gas is subjected to hydrogen purification by PSA. However, the methanol tail gas recovery rate of the method is low, and the recovery and utilization problem of low-pressure methanol tail gas cannot be solved. CN 105129731A “Recovery device for hydrogen in methanol purge gas” discloses a hydrogen recovery method for methanol purge gas, and adopts a recovery mode of membrane separation+PSA+membrane separation. However, the methanol tail gas recovery rate of the method is low, and the recovery and utilization problem of low-pressure methanol tail gas cannot be solved. In addition, in the above process, whether membrane separation or PSA is used, CO in the tail gas cannot be reasonably utilized, and finally the CO is used as fuel, which leads to high energy consumption of the entire device and low total carbon utilization rate.
