Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomass gasification technology, specifically relating to a cogeneration system using carbon dioxide and oxygen as gasifying agents and its operating method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing depletion of fossil fuels and the growing prominence of environmental pollution, seeking a renewable energy source to replace fossil fuels has become a consensus. Biomass energy has attracted widespread attention due to its renewable and environmentally friendly advantages. Furthermore, in the context of a dual-carbon economy, achieving CO2 fixation and reducing CO2 emissions is particularly important for environmental protection and mitigating the greenhouse effect. Biomass, as a CO2-neutral and environmentally friendly new energy source, is formed by plants absorbing CO2 through photosynthesis. Its stored energy can be released through thermal conversions such as combustion and gasification, and it currently accounts for 14% of the world's energy consumption.
[0003] Biomass gasification is a highly promising technology that can generate not only heat but also high-calorific-value syngas for industrial production or power generation. Extensive experimental and simulation studies have been conducted on biomass gasification; however, the gasifying agents used are mostly air, water vapor, and mixtures thereof, with little research focusing on carbon dioxide gasification. CO2 is the primary contributor to global warming, and its treatment incurs significant economic costs. Therefore, carbon dioxide gasification technology is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions and improving industrial economics.
[0004] Furthermore, biomass, as a high-quality resource, produces high-calorific-value fuel gas during gasification, but also generates byproduct char. However, under normal conditions, the char produced by gasifiers is of low quality, insufficient in quality and activity for use as biomass char or activated carbon. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the pyrolysis conditions to improve the quality or activity of the byproduct char. Staged gasification allows for the control of reaction conditions, enabling the pyrolysis, reduction, and oxidation of biomass to occur in different reactors, and the reaction conditions of the pyrolysis stage can be adjusted to meet the demand for biomass char. However, the generation and utilization of biomass fuel gas are limited by geographical location and season. In areas rich in agricultural and forestry biomass, the biochar produced is of high quality and suitable for use in activated carbon, industrial char, and other industries, resulting in enormous demand. In summer, the demand for fuel gas for heating and warming from residential and industrial sources is lower than in winter, allowing byproduct char to be produced as the main product. Therefore, flexibly controlling the char-to-gas ratio is key to the future of industrial biomass gasification. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The operating method of the above-mentioned carbon dioxide and oxygen cogeneration system disclosed in this invention includes:
[0019] Biomass feedstock from the biomass silo enters a gasifier and a pyrolysis reactor. In the gasifier, the biomass feedstock undergoes a gasification reaction using O2 as the gasifying agent, producing char and gasified gas. In the pyrolysis reactor, the biomass feedstock undergoes a pyrolysis reaction under a CO2 atmosphere. The char produced by the gasifier is burned in a burner, and the resulting high-temperature gas enters a high-temperature pyrolysis reactor, providing heat for the pyrolysis reactor. The char produced by the pyrolysis reactor enters a biomass char bin and then enters the gasifier for the gasification reduction stage. The gasified gas produced by the gasifier enters the pyrolysis reactor, providing heat for the pyrolysis section. The gasified gas produced by the pyrolysis reactor enters the high-temperature pyrolysis reactor for high-temperature catalytic cracking of tar. The gasified gas produced by the high-temperature pyrolysis reactor enters the gasifier for gasification reduction, and the amount of system products is controlled by adjusting the amounts of CO2 and O2.

The cooled gasified gas enters a CO2 separator, and the separated CO2 enters both the pyrolysis reactor and the gasifier.
[0020] Preferably, the temperature inside the gasification reactor is 800–900°C; the molar ratio of the gasifying agent to biochar inside the gasification reactor is 0.3–1.1, and the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gasifying agent is 0–2.7; the final char yield is 10%–30%; the final char yield, the molar ratio of the gasifying agent to biochar, and the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gasifying agent satisfy the following formula:
[0021]
[0022] In the formula, w is the final carbon yield, y is the molar ratio of gasifying agent to biochar, and z is the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gasifying agent.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] This invention discloses a cogeneration system for biomass char using carbon dioxide and oxygen as gasifying agents. Using CO2 as the gasifying agent, CO is produced through the gasification of CO2 and biomass char, achieving CO2 fixation, reducing net CO2 emissions, and providing good environmental benefits. It also reduces the energy required for water vapor evaporation; the H2 / CO ratio in the syngas is easily adjustable to meet specific industrial requirements; and it is beneficial for CO2 recycling and reducing net CO2 emissions. When used as a pyrolysis atmosphere, CO2 can improve and activate the structure of the char surface, thereby enhancing the quality and activity of the biomass char. In this invention, CO2 and O2 are introduced into the gasification reactor as gasifying agents. The reaction rate between char and O2 is extremely fast, being the main reaction consuming char, and the reaction rate varies with the O2 concentration. The reaction between char and CO2 is slower and also varies with the CO2 concentration. Furthermore, the reaction between char and CO2 is endothermic; adding CO2 lowers the temperature in the gasification reactor, thereby reducing the reaction rate between char and O2 and decreasing char consumption. Therefore, by controlling the different ratios of CO2 and O2 in the gasifying agent within the gasification reactor, the ratio of biochar to gasified gas can be regulated within a certain range, thus achieving a perfect match with the actual needs of the project or user. The system has feed inlets in both the gasifier and the pyrolysis reactor. The pyrolysis reactor produces high-quality biochar that meets the requirements of commercial biochar and can be discharged as a product, while the gasifier produces lower-quality by-product biochar that can be used for combustion to provide heat. Therefore, by controlling the ratio of biomass feedstock entering the two feed inlets, both high-quality and high-yield biochar can be achieved while simultaneously meeting heat supply requirements. The system connects the gasified gas outlet of the gasifier to the gasified gas inlet of the pyrolysis reactor, utilizing the high temperature of the gasified gas at the gasifier outlet to provide the heat required for the pyrolysis process. The high-temperature pyrolysis reactor in the system uses the heat provided by the combustion reaction in the burner to achieve high-temperature pyrolysis and removal of tar, significantly reducing the tar content in the gasified gas and its components. The system incorporates a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the gas exiting the gasification reactor and the O2 gasifying agent entering the reactor. This prevents the gasifying agent from becoming too cold and lowering the reactor temperature, thus utilizing waste heat. The system consists of two complete gasification processes. One complete gasification process takes place in the gasifier furnace, where the drying, pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction processes do not have clear boundaries, and the contact time between the gas and solid phases, and between the gasifying agent and the reactant, cannot be controlled. The other complete gasification process involves controlling different reaction conditions in separate reactors, achieving staged gasification of pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction. This staged gasification allows for flexible distribution and control of the products.
[0025] Furthermore, by setting valves to control the rate at which the gasified gas enters the pyrolysis reactor, the temperature of the pyrolysis reactor can be controlled, thereby achieving rational utilization of heat while controlling the conditions of the pyrolysis reaction.
[0026] The working method of the biochar and gas cogeneration system using carbon dioxide and oxygen as gasifying agents disclosed in this invention has a high degree of automation and flexible control. While achieving CO2 fixation and reducing net CO2 emissions, it also enables the regulation of the ratio of biochar to gasified gas within a certain range, thus achieving a perfect fit with the actual needs of engineering projects or users and has good application prospects.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6 includes a first chamber and a second chamber, which are separated by a partition. A high-temperature resistant ring pipe is provided in the first chamber.

[0042]
[0043] In the formula, D iδ is the diameter of the inner tube, in meters; L is the length of the high-temperature resistant ring tube, in meters; δ is the wall thickness of the inner tube, in meters; the ratio of the mass flow rate of the gasified gas in burner 5 to the mass flow rate of the pyrolysis reactor 3 is 3:1.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the CO2 separation device 9 is a membrane separation type.
[0048] The operating method of the above-mentioned cogeneration system using carbon dioxide and oxygen as gasifying agents includes:
[0049] Biomass silo 1 provides biomass feedstock to gasifier 2 and pyrolysis reactor 3. Gasifier 2 sequentially completes drying, pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction processes to produce char and gasified gas. Pyrolysis reactor 3 performs the pyrolysis carbonization process. The gasifying agent in gasifier 2 is either O2 or air, with O2 being preferred. Pyrolysis reactor 3 has a CO2 inlet to create a CO2 atmosphere. It is worth noting that pyrolysis under a CO2 atmosphere is beneficial for the formation of a porous structure on the biochar surface and for increasing the aromatization degree of surface functional groups. Therefore, the char produced by gasifier 2 is of lower quality and has lower activity compared to that produced by pyrolysis reactor 3. Thus, the char produced in gasifier 2 is directly burned in burner 5 to provide heat to the system, while the char produced in pyrolysis reactor 3 is stored in biomass char bin 4 and then used in the gasification reduction stage via gasifier 7. Furthermore, for gasifier 2, since the gasified gas is discharged from the bottom of the gasifier, its temperature is relatively high. Considering the comprehensive utilization of energy, this portion of the gasified gas can be used to provide heat for the pyrolysis section in the pyrolysis reactor. Therefore, the gasifier gas outlet 22 of gasifier 2 is connected to the pyrolysis reactor gas inlet 32 of pyrolysis reactor 3. Pyrolysis reactor 3 produces char and gasified gas through a pyrolysis reaction. However, the gasified gas produced during pyrolysis has a high tar content, so it needs to be introduced into high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6 for high-temperature catalytic cracking of the tar. The energy required for high-temperature tar cracking is provided by the heat released when the char produced in gasifier 2 burns in burner 5. It is worth noting that the heat transfer is achieved through a gaseous medium, that is, the gas produced in burner 5 is directly introduced into high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6, and the energy carried by the high-temperature gas provides a high-temperature atmosphere for tar cracking. In addition, the high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6 integrates the gasified gas from gasifier 2, pyrolysis reactor 3, and burner 5, so that these three streams of gasified gas from different sources can be integrated into one stream and introduced into gasification reactor 7 for gasification and reduction. The main components of the gasified gas from gasifier 2 are CO, H2, and CO2; the main components of the gasified gas from pyrolysis reactor 3 after tar removal in high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6 are CO, CO2, and CH4; and the main components of the gasified gas from burner 5 are CO and CO2. In gasification reactor 7, a CO2 / O2 mixture is introduced, and biochar is added to change the composition of the gasified gas. At this time, the following reaction occurs in gasification reactor 7:
[0050] C + O₂ → CO₂ R₁
[0051]
[0052] C + CO₂ → 2CO R₃
[0053] C+H2→CH4 R4
[0054]
[0055] C + H₂O → CO + H₂ R₇
[0056] CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂ (R₈)
[0057] Biomass gasification is a complex system. The addition of biochar, O2, and CO2 makes R1, R2, and R3 the main reactions in the above process. R1 and R2 are the complete and incomplete combustion reactions of the biochar, respectively, with high reaction rates and are the main reactions consuming the biochar. Both R1 and R2 are exothermic reactions, providing heat for other reactions in the gasification reactor 7. R3 is the CO2 reduction reaction, a reversible reaction with a lower reaction rate compared to the other two. The reaction rate of R3 is:
[0058]
[0059] In the formula, The rate constant of the reduction reaction is... The surface concentration of CO2;
[0060] As can be seen from the above formula, CO2, acting as a gasifying agent, increases the CO2 concentration, causing the R3 reaction to proceed more vigorously to the right. Since the R3 reaction is a typical endothermic reaction, it lowers the temperature of the gasification reactor, thus reducing the reactivity and rate of the reaction between the solid and gas phases, i.e., reducing the reaction rates of R1 and R2, and consequently decreasing the biochar consumption rate. Simultaneously, the O2 concentration also affects the reaction rates of R1 and R2. Therefore, the gas-solid products can be controlled by jointly regulating the CO2 and O2 content in the gasifying agent. Furthermore, the rightward shift of the R3 reaction reduces net CO2 emissions and increases CO content, thus providing a carbon source while achieving CO2 fixation. Additionally, the temperature of the gasified gas exiting gasification reactor 7 remains between 700 and 800°C. Therefore, a heat exchanger is installed to exchange heat between the gasified gas and O2. The resulting O2 is then introduced into gasification reactor 7 as a gasifying agent. This prevents the temperature of gasification reactor 7 from being too low, which would reduce gasification efficiency and the calorific value of the gasified gas. Meanwhile, a CO2 separation device is installed after heat exchanger 8 to separate CO2 from the gasification gas, thereby changing the main components of the gasification gas into CO, H2, and CH4, which can be used directly. The separated CO2 can be used to provide a CO2 atmosphere for pyrolysis reactor 3 and a CO2 gasification agent for gasification reactor 7.
[0061] The temperature inside gasification reactor 7 is 800–900℃; the molar ratio of gasifying agent to biochar inside gasification reactor 7 is 0.3–1.1, and the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gasifying agent is 0–2.7; the final char yield is 10%–30%; the final char yield, the molar ratio of gasifying agent to biochar, and the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gasifying agent satisfy the following formula:
[0062]
[0063] In the formula, w is the final carbon yield, y is the molar ratio of gasifying agent to biochar, and z is the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gasifying agent.
[0064] The system operation process of the present invention will be further explained and illustrated below with a specific embodiment:
[0065] Biomass silo 1 feeds biomass feedstock into gasifier 2 and pyrolysis reactor 3 for reaction. The ratio of biomass feedstock in gasifier 2 to pyrolysis reactor 3 is controlled at 1:3 via a return valve. Gasifier 2 sequentially completes drying, pyrolysis, oxidation, and reduction reactions from top to bottom, yielding char and gasified gas as the final products after the reduction reaction. O2 is introduced into the oxidation section of gasifier 2, causing a vigorous oxidation reaction that provides heat for the drying, pyrolysis, and reduction sections. Furthermore, the char yield of gasifier 2 is approximately 18%, and the tar content in the gasified gas is 20 g / m³. 3 Subsequently, the charcoal in gasifier 2 directly enters the burner for combustion to provide the heat required for the high-temperature pyrolysis reaction, while the discharged medium-temperature gasified gas enters pyrolysis reactor 3 to provide heat for the pyrolysis reaction. Because the gasified gas from gasifier 2 exits directly from the bottom after leaving the reduction section, its temperature is approximately 600–700°C. The rate at which the gasified gas enters pyrolysis reactor 3 is controlled by a valve, thereby controlling the temperature of pyrolysis reactor 3 to approximately 400–500°C. For pyrolysis reactor 3, the favorable temperature conditions result in a char yield of approximately 40%, and at this point, the tar concentration in the gasified gas is relatively high at 100 g / m³. 3 Subsequently, the gasified gas from gasifier 2 and pyrolysis reactor 3 are jointly fed into high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6, while the high-quality biochar produced by pyrolysis reactor 3 is transported to biochar bin 4. The high-temperature gas provided by the combustion reaction in burner 5 maintains the temperature of high-temperature pyrolysis reactor 6 at approximately 1100–1300°C, thereby achieving tar removal from the gasified gas. At this point, the tar concentration after the high-temperature pyrolysis reaction is approximately 20 mg / m³. 3Approximately 30% of the biomass char enters the biochar bin, while the yield of the integrated gasified gas is approximately 70%. Subsequently, the integrated gasified gas is fed into the gasification reactor 7, where it mixes with the biomass char provided by the biomass char bin 4, and CO2 and O2 provided by the CO2 separator 9 and heat exchanger 8 respectively, achieving a component transformation of the gasified gas. The gas-solid product is regulated by controlling the ratio of CO2 to O2. When the molar ratio of O2 to biomass char is controlled at 1:4 and the molar ratio of CO2 to O2 is 1:1, the final biomass char yield exiting the gasification reactor is 24%, and the final product gasified gas to biomass char yield ratio is approximately 3:1.
