Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tail gas treatment and energy recovery, in particular to a liquid nitrogen washing tail gas resource utilization system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The synthetic ammonia industry is the basis of global chemical industry, and in China, coal is mainly used as raw material for synthetic ammonia production. The coal powder gasification process has a high gasification efficiency, small environmental pollution, and high carbon conversion rate, and thus its proportion in the coal-to-synthetic ammonia industry is increasing. The coal powder gasification process for synthetic ammonia production mainly includes the following steps: gasification, dust removal, desulfurization, shift conversion, decarburization, fine CO removal, and ammonia synthesis. In large-scale coal-to-synthetic ammonia industries, the low-temperature methanol washing process is mainly used for decarburization to remove CO2, H2S, and other impurities. The low-temperature crude hydrogen gas obtained through the low-temperature methanol washing process is generally matched with a low-temperature liquid nitrogen washing process to remove trace amounts of harmful impurities such as CH4, CO, Ar, and CO2 in the crude hydrogen gas to obtain clean H2, which is then used for ammonia synthesis. The liquid rich in harmful impurities after the liquid nitrogen washing process is discharged after cold energy recovery, and the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas contains CH4 (1-2%), CO (6-10%), H2 (2-3%), N2 (85-90%), and CO2. The liquid nitrogen washing tail gas has a low heat value (about 1200-2000 kJ / m 3 ), and cannot be directly combusted and purified.

[0003] At present, the utilization rate of the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas in the synthetic ammonia industry is very low. The domestic enterprises mainly use two methods to treat the low-heat-value liquid nitrogen washing tail gas, i.e., hot blast stove mixed synthesis gas combustion and flare venting combustion. Due to the low heat value of the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas, in the hot blast stove mixed combustion process, a large amount of synthesis gas and a small amount of liquid nitrogen washing tail gas are mixed and then sent to the hot blast stove for combustion in order to increase the heat value. This not only increases the power consumption of the boiler induced draft fan, but also mainly causes a large amount of heat to be taken away by the induced draft fan, which not only fails to recover the heat, but also reduces the thermal efficiency of the boiler. Therefore, in most cases, most of the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas can only be sent to the flare venting combustion, which greatly wastes energy. SUMMARY

[0068] The liquid nitrogen washing tail gas resource utilization system and method provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with examples, but they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] Use Figure 1 The liquid nitrogen washing tail gas resource utilization system shown is used for resource utilization of liquid nitrogen washing tail gas, wherein the first catalyst 3 is a CeO2-MnO2-ZrO2-based catalyst, and the second catalyst 5 is a Pt / CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst.

[0071] The liquid nitrogen washing tail gas treatment capacity is 40000 Nm 3 / h;

[0072] By volume percentage, the liquid nitrogen washing components are: H2: 1.52%; CO: 9.00%; N2: 88.28%; CH4: 1.20%.

[0073] The specific method is as follows:

[0074] (1) The liquid nitrogen scrubbing exhaust gas enters heat exchanger 1 and mixes with the second flue gas from the second catalytic combustion tower 4 at a temperature of 550°C. The flue gas temperature rises from 90°C to 280°C, and then mixes with air (Q = 5000m). 3 The mixture (at a rate of 1 h) enters the first catalytic combustion tower 2 for combustion. Since the flue gas temperature is 280℃, higher than the activation temperature of the first catalyst 3 (180℃), the first catalyst 3 is activated, and the temperature inside the tower rises to 500℃. Therefore, the first catalytic combustion can spontaneously occur without an external heating source, producing the first flue gas. Simultaneously, circulating water cools the gas, ensuring the tower and flue gas temperatures remain between 270 and 320℃, preventing violent reactions that could lead to an explosion in the combustion tower. The first flue gas temperature is 260℃, and the CO content decreases to 4%.

[0075] (2) Flue gas and air (Q=2500m) 3 After mixing ( / h), the mixture enters the second catalytic combustion tower 4. Since the temperature of the first flue gas is 260℃, which is higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5 (180℃) for CO combustion, CO combustion occurs, and the temperature inside the tower rises to 450℃, which is higher than the activation temperature of CH4 (400℃), causing CH4 combustion. At this point, the temperature inside the tower rises to 520℃. Therefore, the second catalytic combustion reaction can proceed spontaneously without an external heating source, producing a second flue gas with a temperature of 500℃. The CO and CH4 content in the second flue gas is reduced to 150 mg / Nm³. 3 At this point, part of the second flue gas enters heat exchanger 1 to heat the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas, and the rest is used to dry the pulverized coal in the coal mill.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] use Figure 1 The liquid nitrogen scrubbing tail gas resource utilization system shown above utilizes the liquid nitrogen scrubbing tail gas for resource utilization. The first catalyst 3 is a CeO2-MnO2-ZrO2-based catalyst, and the second catalyst 5 is a Pt / CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst.

[0079] Liquid nitrogen scrubbing exhaust gas treatment capacity: 60000 Nm³ 3 / h;

[0080] By volume percentage, the liquid nitrogen washing components are: H2: 1.62%; CO: 9.00%; N2: 88.20%; CH4: 1.18%.

[0081] The specific method is as follows:

[0082] (1) The liquid nitrogen scrubbing exhaust gas enters heat exchanger 1 and mixes and exchanges heat with the second flue gas from the second catalytic combustion tower 4 at a temperature of 550℃. The flue gas temperature rises from 90℃ to 280℃, and then it mixes with air (Q = 6500m). 3 The mixture ( / h) enters the first catalytic combustion tower 2 for combustion. At this point, the flue gas temperature is 280℃, 180℃ higher than the activation temperature of the first catalyst 3. The catalyst is activated, and the CO in the tail gas is burned by liquid nitrogen scrubbing. The temperature inside the tower rises to 460℃, generating the first flue gas, ensuring the reaction can proceed spontaneously without an external heating source. Simultaneously, circulating water cools the gas, ensuring the tower and flue gas temperatures remain between 270 and 320℃, preventing a violent reaction that could lead to an explosion in the combustion tower. The temperature of the first flue gas is 280℃, and the CO content decreases to 3%.

[0083] (2) First flue gas and air (Q = 3300m) 3 After mixing ( / h), the mixture enters the second catalytic combustion tower 4. Since the flue gas temperature is 280℃, higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5 (180℃) for CO combustion, the first flue gas undergoes low-temperature combustion. The temperature inside the tower rises to 460℃, higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5 (400℃) for CH4 combustion. CH4 then combusts, and the temperature inside the tower rises to 520℃. Therefore, the reaction can also proceed spontaneously without an external heating source. The resulting second flue gas is at 480℃, at which point the CO and CH4 content decreases to 200 mg / Nm³. 3 At this point, part of the second flue gas enters heat exchanger 1 to heat the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas, and the rest is used to dry the pulverized coal in the coal mill.

[0087] By volume percentage, the liquid nitrogen washing components are: H2: 1.62%; CO: 8.50%; N2: 88.58%; CH4: 1.30%.

[0088] The specific method is as follows:

[0089] (1) The liquid nitrogen scrubbing exhaust gas enters heat exchanger 1 and mixes with the second flue gas from the second catalytic combustion tower 4 at a temperature of 550℃. After the temperature rises from 90℃ to 280℃, it mixes with air (Q = 4000m). 3 After mixing ( / h), the mixture enters the first catalytic combustion tower 2 for combustion. At this point, the flue gas temperature is 270℃, which is 180℃ higher than the activation temperature of the first catalyst 3. The catalyst is activated, and the tail gas is washed with liquid nitrogen for low-temperature combustion, raising the temperature inside the tower to 450-480℃, generating the first flue gas. This ensures that the reaction can proceed spontaneously without an external heating source. Simultaneously, circulating water is used for cooling, ensuring that the tower body and flue gas temperature are maintained between 270-320℃ to prevent violent reactions that could lead to an explosion of the combustion tower. The temperature of the first flue gas is 270℃, and the CO content decreases to 3%.

[0090] (2) First flue gas and air (Q = 2500m) 3 After mixing ( / h), the mixture enters the second catalytic combustion tower 4. Since the flue gas temperature is 270℃, higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5 (180℃) for CO combustion, the first flue gas undergoes low-temperature combustion. The temperature inside the tower rises to 480℃, higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5 (400℃) for CH4 combustion. CH4 combustion occurs, and the temperature inside the tower rises to 530℃. Therefore, the reaction can also proceed spontaneously without an external heating source. The resulting second flue gas has a temperature of 510℃, at which point the CO and CH4 content decreases to 150 mg / Nm³. 3 At this point, part of the second flue gas enters heat exchanger 1 to heat the liquid nitrogen washing tail gas, and the rest is used to dry the pulverized coal in the coal mill.

[0095] The specific method is as follows:

[0096] (1) The liquid nitrogen scrubbing exhaust gas enters heat exchanger 1 and mixes with the second flue gas from the second catalytic combustion tower 4 at a temperature of 550℃. The flue gas temperature rises from 90℃ to 280℃ and then mixes with air (Q=1000m). 3h) mixed and burned in the first catalytic combustion tower 2. At this time, the flue gas temperature is 280℃, which is higher than the activation temperature of the first catalyst 3, 180℃, and the catalyst is activated. The tail gas is washed with liquid nitrogen, and the temperature in the tower is raised to 450℃, generating the first flue gas, which ensures that the reaction can proceed spontaneously without external heat source. At the same time, the circulating water is cooled to ensure that the tower body and flue gas temperature is 270-320℃, and to prevent the reaction from being too violent to cause the combustion tower to explode. The temperature of the first flue gas is 280℃, and the CO content is reduced to 3%.

[0097] (2) The first flue gas is mixed with air (Q=800m 3 h) mixed and burned in the second catalytic combustion tower 4. Since the flue gas temperature is 280℃, which is higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5, 180℃, the first flue gas is burned at low temperature, and the temperature in the tower is raised to 480℃, which is higher than the activation temperature of the second catalyst 5, 400℃, for burning CH4. At this time, the temperature in the tower is raised to 500℃, so the reaction can also proceed spontaneously without external heat source. The second flue gas obtained is 450℃, and at this time, the CO and CH4 contents are reduced to 100mg / Nm 3 At this time, part of the second flue gas enters the heat exchanger 1 to warm up the liquid nitrogen tail gas, and the rest is used for drying the coal powder in the coal mill.
