[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] The following is a reference appendix. Figure 1 A waste heat utilization system for a cement kiln with hydrogen cooling cogeneration is described according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a cement kiln waste heat utilization system for hydrogen-cooled cogeneration according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a cement kiln production module, a hydrogen production module, and a refrigeration module. The cement kiln production module includes a raw meal preheater, a rotary kiln 2, and a clinker cooler 1 connected in sequence. The raw meal preheater is used to preheat the cement raw meal, the rotary kiln 2 is used to calcine the preheated cement raw meal to form cement clinker, and the clinker cooler 1 is used to cool the cement clinker. The hydrogen production module includes a methanol-to-hydrogen circuit, which has a reactor 9 and a gasifier 8. The raw meal preheater is connected to the flue gas inlet of the reactor 9, the clinker cooler 1 is connected to the hot-side inlet of the gasifier 8, and both the flue gas outlet of the reactor 9 and the hot-side outlet of the gasifier 8 are connected to the refrigeration module.

[0022] An embodiment of the present invention provides a cement kiln waste heat utilization system for hydrogen-cooled cogeneration. This system can utilize the waste gas generated by the cement kiln production module to provide energy for the hydrogen production module and the refrigeration module, thereby making reasonable use of the waste heat energy of the cement kiln production module, improving the energy utilization efficiency of the cement industry, reducing the boiler cost and fuel cost required for the hydrogen production process, lowering the cost of hydrogen production, and also reducing the refrigeration cost by using the heat contained in the waste gas for refrigeration.

[0023] For example, the raw material preheater is a cyclone preheater 3, which is arranged at the top of the cement kiln, and the raw cement is preheated by the flue gas after combustion in the cyclone preheater 3. The flue gas after preheating the raw cement still has a high temperature, and the preheated cement raw material enters the rotary kiln 2 to be calcined into cement clinker, and then the cement clinker is sent into the clinker cooler 1 to be cooled by a large amount of air, and the cooling air is also heated by the cement clinker to become flue gas with a high temperature.

[0024] The flue gas after preheating the cement raw material enters the reactor 9 from the flue gas side of the reactor 9, and in the reactor 9, the flue gas uses the heat energy it carries to maintain the methanol reforming reaction to produce hydrogen. The flue gas in the clinker cooler 1 enters the gasifier 8 from the hot side inlet of the gasifier 8, and in the gasifier 8, the flue gas transfers the heat energy it carries to the methanol raw material liquid to heat and gasify the methanol raw material liquid into gaseous reaction raw material. After the flue gas completes heat exchange in the reactor 9 and the gasifier 8, it is combined and enters the refrigeration module, and the refrigeration module generates cold energy using the flue gas as a heat source.

[0025] For example, the refrigeration module is a lithium bromide absorption refrigerator 14. A hydrogen-cooled cogeneration cement kiln waste heat utilization system according to an embodiment of the present application can realize step-by-step utilization of energy and improve energy utilization rate by using the flue gas to first produce hydrogen by methanol reforming and then to drive the lithium bromide absorption refrigerator 14 according to the required flue gas temperature.

[0026] Optionally, the methanol hydrogen production loop further includes a feeding device, a preheater 7, a cooler 10, a gas-liquid separator 11, a pressure swing adsorber 12, and a hydrogen storage tank 13. The feeding device includes a desalted water storage tank 4, a methanol storage tank 5, and a methanol raw material liquid pump 6. The desalted water storage tank 4 is used to store desalted water, the methanol storage tank 5 is used to store methanol, and the desalted water in the desalted water storage tank 4 and the methanol in the methanol storage tank 5 are mixed in a certain proportion and then enter the methanol raw material liquid pump 6.

[0027] The outlet of the methanol raw material liquid pump 6 is connected to the cold side inlet of the preheater 7, the cold side outlet of the preheater 7 is connected to the cold side inlet of the gasifier 8, the cold side outlet of the gasifier 8 is connected to the shell side inlet of the reactor 9, the shell side outlet of the reactor 9 is connected to the hot side inlet of the preheater 7, the hot side outlet of the preheater 7 is connected to the hot side inlet of the cooler 10, the hot side outlet of the cooler 10 is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 11, the gas side outlet of the gas-liquid separator 11 is connected to the inlet of the pressure swing adsorber 12, and the outlet of the pressure swing adsorber 12 is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen storage tank 13. The shell side of the reactor 9 is filled with catalysts required for the methanol reforming reaction to produce hydrogen, and the methanol reforming reaction to produce hydrogen is carried out in the shell side of the reactor 9.

[0028] It can be understood that the desalted water stored in the desalted water storage tank 4 is mixed with the methanol stored in the methanol storage tank 5 in a certain proportion to become a methanol raw material liquid, the methanol raw material liquid is pressurized by the methanol raw material liquid pump 6 and enters the preheater 7 from the cold side inlet of the preheater 7, in the preheater 7, the methanol raw material liquid is preheated by the reaction product of the methanol reforming hydrogen production, the preheated methanol raw material liquid enters the gasifier 8 from the cold side inlet of the gasifier 8, in the gasifier 8, the methanol raw material liquid is heated by the waste gas generated by the clinker cooler 1 and is further gasified into a gaseous reaction raw material, and then the gaseous reaction raw material enters the reactor 9 from the shell side inlet of the reactor 9. In the reactor 9, the gaseous reaction raw material is subjected to the methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction under the action of the catalyst and the heating of the waste gas outlet of the cyclone preheater 3, and is changed into a reaction product, and then the methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction product flows out from the shell side outlet of the reactor 9, enters the preheater 7 from the hot side inlet of the preheater 7, and uses its own heat to preheat the methanol raw material liquid, and then the reaction product flows out from the hot side outlet of the preheater 7 and enters the cooler 10 for cooling, and the cooled reaction product enters the gas-liquid separator 11 to realize gas-liquid separation, wherein the gaseous material in the reaction product enters the pressure swing adsorber 12 to be purified into pure hydrogen gas and is stored in the hydrogen storage tank 13.

[0029] Alternatively, the liquid side outlet of the gas-liquid separator 11 is connected to the inlet of the methanol raw material liquid pump 6, and the liquid material separated by the liquid side outlet of the gas-liquid separator 11 can be introduced into the inlet of the methanol raw material liquid pump 6. It can be understood that the cooled reaction product enters the gas-liquid separator 11 to realize gas-liquid separation, and the liquid material therein is unreacted methanol raw material liquid, which is mixed with the methanol raw material liquid at the inlet of the methanol raw material liquid pump 6 to participate in the methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction again, thereby improving the utilization rate of the raw material and reducing the loss of the raw material.

[0033] (3) The hydrogen cold combined production cement kiln waste heat utilization system of the embodiment of the present application preheats the methanol raw material liquid by the methanol reforming hydrogen production reaction product outlet of the reactor 9, so that the heat contained in the reaction product is reasonably utilized, and the temperature of the reaction product is reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the cooler 10 required for cooling the reaction product and the amount of cooling water.
