Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of activated coke preparation, and in particular to a device, method and system for improving the quality of tail gas in the process of activated coke preparation. Background Art

[0002] The one-step coke oven is divided into a carbonization section and an activation section, which successively carry out carbonization and activation of the raw materials. The carbonization is carried out under air-tight conditions, and the volatiles in the raw materials are analyzed out by heating and converted into carbonized materials. Water vapor is introduced into the carbonized material in the activation furnace as an activation medium, and an activation reaction occurs with the carbonized material to generate activated carbon or activated coke. Therefore, the reaction of the raw material in the carbonization section is a pyrolysis reaction, which is manifested as the continuous loss of solids and the generation of a large amount of gas and tar. The tar exists in the form of gas at high temperature. The temperature required in the activation section is higher than that in the carbonization section, so as to achieve the reaction conditions between fixed carbon and water vapor. Therefore, the activation section involves not only the water vapor gasification reaction of the carbonized material, but also the further precipitation of volatiles inside the carbonized material. The reaction at this stage is characterized by the use of H 2 , CO and CO 2 The main components of the gas phase products in the activation stage and carbonization stage are H 2 ,CO,CO 2 , CH 4 , H 2 O and tar and other macromolecular substances.

[0003] In order to improve the quality of pyrolysis tail gas, high-temperature catalytic reforming in the reforming furnace is generally used to promote the secondary cracking of macromolecules and increase H 2 concentration, reducing CO 2 The current reforming process generally uses natural minerals such as dolomite and olivine as catalyst bed materials for the reforming furnace. Among them, calcined dolomite with calcium oxide and magnesium oxide as the main components is mainly used as a catalyst for CO 2 Absorbent, reducing CO in the reforming process 2 concentration, thus affecting the reaction balance; catalysts such as olivine with iron oxide as the main active ingredient rely on the catalytic cracking of iron oxide and the catalytic effect on the water gas reaction to promote the improvement of pyrolysis gas components. 2 The required temperature of the absorbent is much lower than that of gas reforming, and it is difficult to further affect the conversion rate of other components in the pyrolysis gas. During the reforming process, as the water gas reaction and reforming reaction proceed, CO 2The continuous increase in concentration is not only not conducive to the reaction process, but also increases the carbon emissions of the system. Reforming furnaces generally use external heating, which leads to high surface temperature of the catalyst bed in the furnace, low internal temperature, uneven temperature distribution, and low catalytic efficiency. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the reforming furnace of pyrolysis gas and improve the quality of pyrolysis gas. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems: In the current pyrolysis gas reforming process, CO 2 The temperature range required by the absorbent is inconsistent with the temperature range required for pyrolysis gas reforming.

The heating method of the external heating reformer makes the catalyst bed material temperature uneven and the catalytic efficiency low. Therefore, selecting appropriate bed materials for the tail gas upgrading device and rationally planning the regional temperature of the tail gas upgrading device and the distribution of catalysts and absorbents have an important impact on improving the quality of pyrolysis gas, promoting carbon emission reduction, and improving the pyrolysis gas conversion rate.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the quality of tail gas in the process of preparing activated coke. The device for improving the quality of tail gas in the process of preparing activated coke implemented by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0059] (1) The coke oven 2 generates tail gas during the process of preparing activated coke, and the tail gas enters the steam generator 6 for cooling;

[0060] (2) The exhaust gas after cooling by the steam generator 6 enters the first CO 2 Absorption section 7, absorbs CO in tail gas 2 ;

[0061] (3) Absorption of CO 2 The tail gas after the reaction enters the reforming section 8, mixes with the steam introduced into the reforming section 8, and undergoes steam catalytic reforming;

[0062] (4) The tail gas reformed by the reforming section 8 enters the heat exchanger 9 for cooling;

[0063] (5) The cooled exhaust gas enters the second CO 2Absorption section 10, absorbs CO in tail gas 2 , and obtain hydrogen-rich combustible gas.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the tail gas generated by the coke oven during the coking process has a high temperature and needs to be first introduced into the steam generator for cooling. The cooled tail gas is then introduced into the first CO 2 Absorption of CO in the absorption section 2 The reforming section adopts a steam catalytic reforming process. The reformed tail gas enters the heat exchanger for cooling and then enters the second CO 2 Absorption section, absorbs CO in tail gas again 2 , CO is set before and after the reforming stage 2 The absorption section can effectively reduce CO 2 concentration, to avoid the occurrence of water gas reaction, reforming reaction, etc., CO 2 The concentration continues to increase, which is not conducive to the reaction. It improves the catalytic efficiency, the pyrolysis gas conversion rate, the reforming efficiency, and greatly increases the H 2 content, reducing CO 2 output, improve the quality of pyrolysis gas, reduce tar output and promote carbon emission reduction.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first CO 2 Absorption stage 7 uses carbide slag as CO 2 Absorbent;

[0066] And / or, the reforming section 8 uses red mud as a catalyst and / or a microwave absorber;

[0067] and / or, the second CO 2 The absorption section 10 uses carbide slag as CO 2 Absorbent.

[0068] In some embodiments, in step (1), the tail gas generated by the coke oven 2 includes CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , H 2 and tar; the temperature of the tail gas generated by the coke oven 2 is 550°C to 950°C, specifically, for example, 550°C, 650°C, 750°C, 850°C, 950°C. In the embodiment of the present invention, the tail gas temperature generated by the coke oven is high, and the CO 2 The required temperature is relatively low, so the high-temperature tail gas cannot be directly introduced into the first CO 2 Absorption section.

[0069] In some embodiments, in step (2), the first CO 2The temperature of the absorption section 7 is 200°C to 500°C, specifically, for example, 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 450°C, 500°C.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, it is further preferred that the first CO 2 The temperature of the absorption section is conducive to increasing the reaction rate while ensuring the feasibility of the reaction. 2 When the temperature of the absorption section is too high, CO 2 The reactions involved in absorption are difficult to achieve; when the temperature is too low, CO 2 The absorption reaction rate is low.

[0071] In some embodiments, in step (3), the reforming section 8 is assisted by microwave heating;

[0072] And / or, the reforming section 8 is heated by an external heat source; optionally, the external heat source includes at least one of a combustion chamber of tail gas, natural gas or coal;

[0073] and / or, the temperature of the reforming section 8 is 700° C. to 900° C., specifically, for example, 700° C., 800° C., 900° C.;

[0074] And / or, the temperature of the water vapor introduced into the reforming section 8 is 450°C to 600°C, specifically, for example, 450°C, 500°C, 550°C, 600°C.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water vapor gasification reaction in the reformer: the water vapor reacts with the tar in the tail gas to promote the gasification of the carbon element in the tar to generate CO, CO 2 and H 2 , thereby reducing the tar content in the exhaust gas and increasing H 2 Output; and water gasification reaction: CO is generated by the reaction of water vapor and CO 2 and H 2 , promoting the conversion of CO to H 2 , effectively improve the H 2 content and improve the quality of pyrolysis gas.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, the external heat source and microwave synergistic heating make the temperature field of the material layer uniform, ensure the reforming reaction efficiency, and improve the quality of the pyrolysis gas. In addition, under microwave-assisted catalytic reforming, the catalytic ability of the iron oxide in the catalyst is enhanced, which improves the reaction activity of the tail gas on the catalyst surface. The reforming section adopts the synergistic effect of external heat and microwave heating to provide heat for the reforming section. The external heat heats from the outside to the inside and the microwave heats from the inside to the outside. The synergistic effect of the two makes the temperature of the reforming section uniform, quickly increases the temperature of the reforming section, maintains temperature uniformity, improves the catalytic reforming efficiency, improves the pyrolysis gas conversion rate, and reduces CO2 Output and promote carbon emission reduction.

[0077] In some embodiments, in step (3), the water vapor introduced into the reforming section 8 is mixed with the absorbed CO 2 The exhaust gas H 2 The O / C ratio is 3 to 10:1, specifically, for example, 3:1, 5:1, 7:1, 9:1, 10:1. In the embodiment of the present invention, by optimizing the ratio of tail gas to water vapor in the reforming stage, it is beneficial to promote the shift of reaction equilibrium, increase the reaction rate, and reduce the time required for the reaction. When the tail gas ratio is too high, the reaction rate is slow and the CO conversion rate is low; when the tail gas ratio is too low, the energy consumption required for heating is too high.

[0078] In some embodiments, in step (5), the second CO 2 The temperature of the absorption section 10 is 100°C to 300°C, specifically, for example, 100°C, 150°C, 200°C, 300°C.
