Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oxygen carriers, and in particular relates to a carbon deposition-resistant perovskite oxygen carrier for producing synthesis gas from methane chemical chaining, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Methane chemical looping gasification (CLG) is a new gasification technology based on chemical looping combustion (CLC). The development of CLG technology has provided a broader application platform for CLC. During the chemical looping gasification process, methane reacts with lattice oxygen, an oxygen carrier, in the fuel reactor (FR) to produce CO and H2 in a 2:1 volume ratio. This upgrades CLC technology, originally limited to carbon capture, to an industrialized process capable of producing syngas and cascading its application. Compared to traditional technologies, this eliminates the need for expensive air separation units, significantly reducing costs and improving fuel conversion rates.

[0003] To improve energy efficiency, the air reactor (AR) portion of methane chemical looping gasification technology has been optimized. The resulting methane chemical looping steam reforming (CL-SMR) and methane chemical looping dry reforming (CL-DMR) technologies aim to replace air with steam or carbon dioxide as the oxygen source in the air reactor, cracking it to produce hydrogen or carbon monoxide. These two technologies increase the yield of combustible gas during the reaction and overcome the problems encountered in traditional steam reforming or dry reforming. However, due to their low oxidizing properties, steam and carbon dioxide cannot completely regenerate the oxygen carrier, resulting in lower reaction efficiency in the later stages of the AR reactor. Furthermore, the lower reaction efficiency in the AR reactor results in lower gas production than in the FR process, meaning that the AR process can only be performed as an auxiliary reaction. Finally, carbon deposits are generated due to methane cracking in the FR process, resulting in high levels of hydrogen or carbon monoxide impurities in the AR reactor, which incurs additional costs for gas purification.

[0004] The current reaction temperature of the FR stage of the methane chemical chain is generally between 750°C and 950°C. As an exothermic reaction, methane cracking is more likely to occur at higher temperatures. The resulting carbon deposition is one of the key issues in the methane chemical chain. Therefore, suppressing the formation of carbon deposition in the methane chemical chain can achieve the following goals: (1) generating an ideal synthesis gas with a volume ratio of H2 / CO of 2; (2) protecting the active sites of the oxygen carrier; and (3) preventing the oxygen carrier from being separated from the active metal and the carrier metal due to carbon deposition growth. At the same time, suppressing the formation of carbon deposition in the FR stage will help promote the development of technologies such as CL-SMR and CL-DRM that use AR reactors to promote the value-added utilization of chemical chains. To address this issue, methane CLG technology is currently focusing on improving reaction performance while overcoming carbon deposition resistance.

[0005] The sol-gel method for preparing oxygen carriers is currently the mainstream preparation method, and its preparation technology has many advantages, including uniform distribution of components and small particle size. In the preparation process of multi-metal oxygen carriers, the sol-gel method can achieve uniformity and high thermal stability. In addition, during the preparation of oxygen carriers, active metals can be melt-bonded with inert carriers to form new alloy oxide phases, thereby strengthening the interaction between metal carriers. This feature means that the sol-gel method can help oxygen carriers provide a wide range of possibilities in catalytic cooperative oxidation. However, the boundaries of controlling the ratio of precursors and pH in the sol-gel method on the promotion and inhibition of oxygen carriers are currently unclear. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Experimental steps in the present invention:

[0048] (1) The CLG reaction is carried out in a fixed bed reaction, which includes gas cylinders (nitrogen, methane, air), a gas conversion device, a gas mass flow meter, a tubular atmosphere furnace, a quartz tube, and a gas collection bag.

[0049] (2) Fuel reactor stage: 2 g of oxygen carrier was placed in the quartz tube and fixed to the middle of the tube with quartz wool. Before starting the reaction, 100 ml / min of nitrogen (99.999%) was first introduced into the quartz tube and maintained for 10 minutes to exhaust the impurity gas in the quartz tube. The quartz tube was then placed in a tubular atmosphere furnace that had been preheated to the specified temperature. The nitrogen gas was maintained stable before the furnace body temperature was re-regulated to the specified temperature. After the furnace temperature was stabilized, the gas was replaced with methane (10% CH4) reaction gas and gas collection began. The gas collection bag was replaced every 3 minutes, and the reaction time was 45 minutes. After the reaction was completed, the quartz tube was removed and the gas was replaced with nitrogen until it cooled down. Finally, the FR reaction gas bag was transferred to a gas chromatograph for measurement, i.e., an Agilent 6820 gas chromatograph (GC) produced by Agilent was used for gas composition and content analysis, using an HP-PLOT / Q column and N2 (99.999%) carrier gas.

[0050] (3) Air reactor stage: After the tube furnace is evacuated under nitrogen atmosphere, the tube furnace is placed in the air reactor.

Quartz wool was plugged at both ends of the oxygen carrier to fix it. Nitrogen was introduced into the quartz tube at a gas flow rate of 100 ml / min for 10 minutes. After the tube furnace was heated to 900°C, the quartz tube was placed in it and the temperature was allowed to stabilize. Then, the gas was switched to methane (10% (v / v) CH4, 100 ml / min) (CH4 was diluted to 10% (v / v) with nitrogen, the same below). In one chemical chaining cycle, the reaction time of the fuel reactor stage was 45 minutes. The syngas obtained by the reaction was collected by a gas collection bag after cooling, and its composition was analyzed by gas chromatography. After analysis, the methane conversion efficiency in the synthesis gas reached 93.72%, the hydrogen selectivity reached 94.90%, and the carbon monoxide selectivity reached 82.60%. At this time, the carbon deposit ratio was 26.10% ( Figure 1 ), where the carbon deposit ratio is calculated using the following formula (X C , %):

[0082] Comparative Example 6

[0083] The LaFeO3 oxygen carrier was prepared according to the method of Example 1, with the only difference being that in step (1), 0.05 mol of ferric nitrate nine hydrate, Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, and 0.05 mol of lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, La(NO3)3·6H2O, were dissolved in a 500 ml beaker containing 200 ml of distilled water. After complete dissolution, glycine was added at a molar ratio of glycine to metal cation of 1.50:1, and then ammonium carbonate was added to adjust the pH of the precursor solution to 9.5.

[0084] Evaluation of oxygen carrier reaction characteristics: The methane chemical looping reaction to syngas was conducted in a small fixed-bed apparatus. First, the oxygen carrier was ground and passed through a 60-mesh sieve. Then, 2g of LaFeO3 oxygen carrier was weighed and placed in the center of a quartz tube. Quartz wool was inserted at both ends to secure the oxygen carrier. Nitrogen gas was introduced into the quartz tube at a flow rate of 100ml / min for 10 minutes. After the tube furnace was heated to 900°C, the quartz tube was placed inside and allowed to stabilize. The gas flow was then switched to methane (10% CH4, 100ml / min). The reaction time in the fuel reactor stage of a chemical looping cycle was 45 minutes. After cooling, the resulting syngas was collected in a gas collection bag and analyzed for composition by gas chromatography. Analysis revealed a methane conversion efficiency of 54.31%, a hydrogen selectivity of 84.88%, and a carbon monoxide selectivity of 53.70%. The carbon deposit fraction was 55.01%.
