Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of SOFC catalytic combustion, and particularly relates to a SOFC stack tail gas treatment process. BACKGROUND

[0002] A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a clean and efficient power generation device that directly converts chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy at high temperature (600-1000℃). At the same time, the SOFC has strong fuel adaptability and can use synthetic gas, methane, diesel and other fuels to achieve higher energy density, so the SOFC has a wide application prospect in the fields of fixed power stations, distributed power stations, combined heat and power systems, etc. Among them, methane is more easily obtained than other fuels, so the methane solid oxide fuel cell has a very large market in the future.

[0003] Since the reaction of the solid oxide fuel cell needs to be carried out at a relatively high temperature, in order to improve the fuel utilization rate, the anode tail gas after dehydration is usually combusted to contain methane as fuel to provide heat for the reaction of the cell. There is a key disadvantage in applying the flame combustion of the anode tail gas to the solid oxide fuel cell: the flame fluctuation of the flame combustion will cause the pressure fluctuation of the SOFC system, and the long-term pressure fluctuation of the fuel cell stack will reduce the use efficiency and service life of the cell and affect the stability of power generation. Due to the need for heat exchange of the SOFC stack, the temperature of the combustion chamber for providing heat for the stack needs to be stabilized at 900-1000℃.

[0004] Natural gas catalytic combustion is a complete oxidation reaction of low-carbon hydrocarbons with methane as the main component on the surface of a catalyst, which is a flameless combustion method. Compared with the traditional flame combustion, the catalytic combustion has the following advantages: ① high combustion efficiency and low CO and unburned HC emissions; ② stable and controllable combustion process, which is an ideal combustion method. Therefore, the application of the catalytic combustion technology in the SOFC can effectively solve the problem of pressure fluctuation of the stack.

[0005] Currently, the active component of catalytic combustion is noble metal. The noble metals platinum, palladium and rhodium are commonly used active components, mainly because of their large reserves and low volatility at high temperatures. The platinum group elements have high catalytic activity for the oxidation of hydrocarbons, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and the mixture of palladium, platinum and rhodium has higher catalytic activity. For low concentration catalytic combustion of methane, palladium is the most active noble metal. Although palladium is the first choice for the active component of catalytic combustion of methane, it has many disadvantages, such as the existence of palladium in the form of palladium oxide at normal temperature and pressure, but at high temperature, such as 800℃, the palladium oxide will decompose into metallic palladium and reduce its activity. The volatility, sintering, poisoning and high price of noble metals at high temperature limit their application in high temperature combustion of methane, so they are generally used in the low temperature start-up stage of the burner.

[0006] Metal oxides can also be used as active components for oxidation reactions. High oxidation activity requires the metal to have variable valence. Oxides of metal elements in the fourth period of the periodic table can be used as active components for complete oxidation of hydrocarbons. In general, the catalytic activity of two or three metal oxides is higher than that of single metal oxides. Oxides of copper, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel can be used as active components of combustion catalysts, among which Co3O4 is the best combustion catalyst. However, these metal oxides will be severely deactivated at temperatures above 800℃.

[0007] Currently, some foreign researches have applied catalytic combustion technology to the field of SOFC, but there are still some problems. Jae Gi Sung used La0.8Sr0.2Mn0.67Cu0.33O3 perovskite (LSMC(p)) supported CuO or Mn2O3 as a catalyst for SOFC tail gas treatment, which showed better thermal stability than CuMnLa / Al2O3 catalyst, but the T50 (light-off temperature for 95% methane conversion) of CH4 reached 600℃. Due to the high light-off temperature, a large amount of heat is required to reach the light-off temperature. Tae Ho Lee studied the catalytic performance of Pd and Pt supported catalysts in SOFC exhaust gas containing H2O, O2 and CH4, with the highest inlet temperature reaching 580℃ and the optimal methane conversion rate being 75%. The burner exhaust heat is not utilized, and the methane conversion rate is low. SUMMARY

[0008] The first technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing direct combustion method has a large SOFC stack pressure fluctuation when applied to SOFC tail gas combustion, which affects the power generation efficiency and stability of the cell. The second technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst has a low noble metal light-off temperature, but the noble metal is prone to sintering and deactivation at high temperatures such as 800-1000℃. The third technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst has a high light-off temperature, which requires a large amount of heat to reach the light-off temperature. Therefore, the present application provides a high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst for high-temperature methane SOFC stack tail gas treatment, and further provides a preparation method thereof and its use in high-temperature methane SOFC stack tail gas treatment.

[0060] Here, the catalytic combustion reactor is a conventional high-temperature resistant packed reactor, the upper section of the packed catalyst is a low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst, and the lower section is a high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst. The reaction heat after the activation of the low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst provides heat for the high-temperature catalytic combustion, so that the high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst spontaneously performs the catalytic combustion reaction after reaching the ignition temperature. The catalytic combustion temperature is controlled by controlling the air-fuel ratio (the ratio of air (cathode gas) and anode tail gas inlet gas quantity) entering the catalytic combustor and the catalyst loading quantity (space velocity, the space velocity of the catalyst A and B is generally controlled at 4000-20000 h -1 , preferably 8000-12000 h -1 ). The stack cathode gas is air, the cathode gas and the anode gas enter a mixing separation tank for mixing and dehydration, and then directly enter the catalytic combustor.

The light-off temperature of the catalyst and the complete conversion temperature of the low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst have overlapping parts, so that the entire catalytic combustion reactor has a low light-off temperature. In addition, the complete conversion temperature of the catalyst is low (T95<600℃, preferably <550℃, preferably <470℃, even <465℃), so that the problems of large pressure fluctuation of SOFC stacks, affecting the power generation efficiency and stability of the battery when the direct combustion method is applied to SOFC tail gas combustion, and the problem of high light-off temperature of high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst, which requires a large amount of heat to reach the light-off temperature, are solved.

[0063] (2) The process for tail gas treatment of high-temperature methane SOFC stacks, which introduces catalytic combustion into the fuel cell process system to replace the traditional combustion chamber, provides heat for the stack reaction, and stabilizes the pressure of the stack system. The high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst for tail gas treatment of high-temperature methane SOFC stacks is loaded in the high-temperature catalytic combustion section at the lower part of the catalytic combustor, and the low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst is loaded in the low-temperature catalytic combustion section at the upper part of the catalytic combustor. The reaction heat of the activated low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst provides heat for the high-temperature catalytic combustion, so that the high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst spontaneously catalyzes combustion after reaching the light-off temperature. The use of the staged catalytic combustion technology provides heat for the SOFC inlet gas, and the combination of the staged catalytic combustion process and the optimized staged catalytic combustion process parameters makes the catalytic combustion catalyst have good catalytic combustion stability at high temperatures such as 900-1000℃, which can provide stable heat supply for the SOFC stack reaction. Under the premise of ensuring the stable operation of the SOFC stack, the efficiency of heat utilization is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0094] The cathode outlet gas (the cathode outlet gas is mainly N2 and O2, the composition of the outlet gas is basically consistent with air, N2-79%, O2-21%) and the anode outlet gas (the anode outlet gas is methane, a small amount of hydrogen, CO and CO2 and H2O) of the high-temperature methane solid oxide fuel cell stack enter a mixing and separation tank, gas mixing is performed in the mixing and separation tank, and water in the stack tail gas is removed, and then enters a catalytic combustor through a pipeline.

The outlet gas of the catalytic combustor has heat, which is used for heat exchange of the cathode inlet heat exchanger and the anode inlet heat exchanger, and the cathode inlet gas and the anode inlet gas and the stack cavity are heated, and then enter a tail gas treatment device through pipeline m.

[0097] In the catalytic combustor, the low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst, i.e. the noble metal Pt catalyst, was loaded in the upper part, and the high-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst prepared in Example 1, i.e. the 75 rare earth metal modified Ce, Zr composite oxide-15 sepiolite-3 Fe2O3-5 CoO-2 MnO2, was loaded in the lower part.

[0100] The same conditions as in Example 1 were adopted except that the catalyst prepared in Preparation Example 2 was used, and the results are shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 1

[0101] Preparation of 65 Ce, Zr composite oxide-25 Al2O3-3 Fe2O 3- 5 CoO -2 MnO2

[0102] The method for preparing 65 Ce, Zr composite oxide-25 Al2O3-3 Fe2O 3- 5 CoO -2 MnO2comprises the following steps:

[0103] 86.7g of Ce, Zr composite oxide (the content of CeO2in the Ce, Zr composite oxide is 35wt%, and the content of ZrO2is 65wt%) and 33.3g of Al2O3powder were taken, 10mL of dilute nitric acid (1wt%) was added and kneaded, and then the catalyst carrier was obtained by drying at 110°C for 2h;

[0104] 7.59g of iron nitrate nonahydrate, 19.4g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 7.1g of manganese nitrate tetrahydrate were dissolved in 100mL of 70°C deionized water to prepare an aqueous solution, 90g of catalyst carrier powder was immersed in the aqueous solution for 1h, dried at 110°C for 2h, and calcined at 600°C for 2h to obtain the catalyst precursor;

[0105] The catalyst precursor powder and water were mixed to form a solution with a specific gravity of 2 g / cm³. 3 The slurry was coated onto a honeycomb cordierite ceramic substrate to form a 1 mm coating on the surface of the honeycomb cordierite ceramic substrate. After calcination at 900℃ for 2 h, a 65Ce, Zr composite oxide -25Al2O3-3Fe2O3-5CoO-2MnO2 was obtained.

[0106] The catalyst prepared above was used as a high-temperature combustion catalyst, and exhaust gas treatment tests were conducted under basically the same conditions as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 2

[0107] 90Sepiolite-3Fe2O 3- Preparation of 5CoO-2MnO2

[0108] This comparative example prepared 90 sepiolite-3Fe2O 3- The method of 5CoO-2MnO2 includes the following steps:

[0109] Take 100g of sepiolite, wash it with deionized water, soak it for 48h, then soak it with 1.5mol / L hydrochloric acid for 36h, wash it with deionized water until the washing liquid is neutral, filter it, dry it, calcine it at 250℃ for 6h, grind the calcined sepiolite to 80-100 mesh to obtain the catalyst support.

[0110] Take 7.59g of ferric nitrate nonahydrate, 19.4g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, and 7.1g of manganese nitrate tetrahydrate salts and dissolve them in 100mL of deionized water to prepare an aqueous solution. Immerse 90g of catalyst support powder in the aqueous solution for 1 hour, dry and calcine to obtain the catalyst precursor.

[0111] The catalyst precursor powder was made into a slurry and coated onto a honeycomb cordierite ceramic substrate to form a 1 mm coating on the surface of the honeycomb cordierite ceramic substrate. After calcination at 900℃ for 2 h, 90 sepiolite-3Fe2O3-5CoO-2MnO2 was obtained.

[0112] The catalyst prepared above was used as a high-temperature combustion catalyst, and exhaust gas treatment tests were conducted under basically the same conditions as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1. Comparative Example 3

[0113] The difference between this comparative example and the exhaust gas treatment device of the high-temperature methane SOFC battery stack in Example 3 is that the catalytic burner of this comparative example is filled with low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst, while the rest of the devices and their connections are the same as those in Example 3.

[0114] The difference between the exhaust gas treatment process of this comparative example and that of the high-temperature methane SOFC battery stack in Example 1 is that the catalyst space velocity for low-temperature catalytic combustion is 8000 h⁻¹.-1 .

[0115] Air and gas ratio 16:1 (vol), stack inlet pressure 3 KPa; the volume ratio of CH4:O2:N2 in the raw gas of catalytic combustor is 1:3:12.

[0116] In the catalytic combustor, all filled with low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst, the initial temperature of catalytic combustor inlet is controlled at 280℃ by electric heater, and the catalyst space velocity is 8000h -1 ;

[0117] By controlling the air-fuel ratio, the outlet temperature of the catalytic combustor reaches 900℃, but within 50h, the methane conversion rate gradually decreases from the initial 98% to 68%, and finally cannot maintain the catalytic combustor outlet temperature above 900℃, which cannot provide stable heat for the fuel cell stack. In order to prevent the performance of the stack from being damaged, the experiment is stopped.

[0118] From Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the commonly used low-temperature catalytic combustion catalyst noble metal Pt catalyst (Pt is the active component) does not have good high-temperature stability, and therefore is not suitable for fuel cell tail gas catalytic combustion working conditions greater than 900℃.

[0119] Table 1

[0120]

[0121] T10 CH4 conversion temperature and T95 CH4 conversion temperature were determined as follows: the composition at the outlet of the catalytic combustor was determined by chromatography, and the methane conversion rate was calculated according to the formula, and the reaction temperature of the reactor when the methane conversion rate reached 10% and 95% was recorded (measured by a thermocouple in the catalytic combustor).

[0122] From Table 1, (1) compared with Ce, Zr composite oxide (not modified with rare earth metal) + Al2O3 in Comparative Example 1, the rare earth metal modified Ce, Zr composite oxide in Examples 1-2 has more excellent conversion effect at T10 and T95, lower light-off temperature and complete conversion temperature; the lower light-off temperature means that there is a higher reaction temperature coincidence range with the complete conversion temperature of the low-temperature conversion catalyst, so there is a wider operating condition range in the two-stage catalytic combustion reaction; (2) Comparative Example 2 uses pure sepiolite as the carrier, although it can increase the specific surface area, but the light-off temperature and complete conversion temperature are higher, which is not conducive to the two-stage catalytic combustion reaction.

[0123] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely example for clearly illustrating but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and can not be enumerated. The obvious changes or variations derived from this still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
