Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hydrogen energy preparation, and particularly relates to a system and method for gasification of carbon-containing substances to prepare hydrogen coupled with liquid carbon dioxide capture. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen energy is paid more and more attention due to its high unit mass heat value and clean combustion. Hydrogen combustion turbine power generation and fuel cell power generation are currently the most efficient and least polluting power generation methods. Hydrogen-fueled vehicles can meet the requirements of high efficiency and zero emissions. From the perspective of sustainable development, hydrogen energy is the ideal energy for human beings in the future. One of the key problems to be solved for the wide use of hydrogen energy is large-scale preparation of hydrogen. China is relatively short of oil and natural gas resources, and rich in coal reserves. Energy endowment determines that hydrogen is prepared on a large scale by taking coal as a raw material. China is the only country in the world that uses coal to prepare hydrogen on a large scale. In 2020, about two-thirds of hydrogen in China was produced from coal hydrogen plants.

[0003] Traditional coal hydrogen production is to first make coal react with oxygen, and then make the coal react with water to obtain a gaseous product (synthesis gas) mainly composed of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The relative content of hydrogen in the crude synthesis gas is relatively low. The H2 / CO ratio of synthesis gas in the pulverized coal gasification process is 0.4-0.5, and the H2 / CO ratio of synthesis gas in the coal slurry gasification process is 0.7-1.1. In order to generate more hydrogen, the crude synthesis gas is purified by desulfurization and continues to react with water vapor to generate carbon dioxide and hydrogen from carbon monoxide and water. Taking coal as a raw material to prepare hydrogen will emit a large amount of greenhouse gases during the hydrogen production process. The preparation of 1 ton of hydrogen emits 20.02 tons of CO2. Considering the reduction of CO2 emissions, the total investment of the coal gasification hydrogen production system will increase by 6%-7%, the cost of hydrogen will increase by 29%-33%, and the cost of CO2 reduction is about 170-183 yuan / ton. Large-scale development of hydrogen energy industry must aim at low carbon in the whole life cycle. Therefore, how to prepare hydrogen while capturing carbon dioxide has become a key problem to be solved for large-scale development of hydrogen energy. SUMMARY

[0032] A typical embodiment of the present application provides a system for carbon-containing substance gasification hydrogen production coupled with liquid carbon dioxide capture, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the high-pressure gasification reactor 8, the high-pressure pipeline mixer 17, the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 18, the high-pressure multi-phase separator 21 and the high-pressure pressure swing adsorption device 33 are mainly included.

[0033] The high-pressure gasification reactor 8 includes a metal sintered microporous tube 12, a reaction shell 11 and a thermal insulation layer 13. The metal sintered microporous tube 12 is coaxially arranged inside the reaction shell 11, and an annular gap is formed between the outer wall of the metal sintered microporous tube 12 and the inner wall of the reaction shell 11. The thermal insulation layer 13 is wrapped outside the reaction shell 11.

[0034] The material of the reaction shell 11 is a seamless stainless steel tube. The material of the thermal insulation layer 13 is an aluminum silicate fiber felt.

[0035] The metal sintered microporous tube 12 is preferably a stainless steel sintered metal microporous tube. For example, 316L stainless steel powder is used as raw material, and a blank body with a specific shape is formed by rolling, isostatic pressing, extrusion, die pressing and other pressing forming methods. Then, the pressed blank is sintered in a protective atmosphere high-temperature furnace or a vacuum furnace to cause a series of physical and chemical processes such as diffusion, recrystallization and combination between particles, thereby forming a product containing a large number of interconnected or semi-interconnected pore structures inside. The pore diameter of the micropores on the side wall is 0.5-5 microns. As a filtering medium, the metal sintered microporous tube has good permeability, high strength, stable porosity and high filtering precision, and can efficiently remove suspended solids and particles in the gasification product. In this embodiment, the pore diameter of the micropores on the side wall of the metal sintered microporous tube 12 is 0.5-5 microns, which is used to remove inorganic minerals and unreacted solid particles in the gasification product by online filtration, without damaging the pressure-bearing surface of the high-pressure gasification reactor.

[0036] An end cover is arranged at the upper end surface of the reaction shell 11, and a raw material slurry feeding pipe 10 is fixed at the center of the end cover. The lower end of the raw material slurry feeding pipe 10 penetrates the end cover and extends to the upper part of the inner cavity of the metal sintered microporous tube 12. An oxygen distribution pipe 9 is arranged in the raw material slurry feeding pipe 10, and the lower end of the oxygen distribution pipe 9 extends to the middle part of the inner cavity of the metal sintered microporous tube 12. The oxygen distribution pipe 9 is connected with an oxygen input pipeline.

The rear end of the first solid collection tank 16 is connected to the second solid collection tank 19.

[0043] The inorganic minerals and unreacted solid particles discharged from the slag discharge pipe 15 at the bottom of the high-pressure gasification reactor 8 enter the first solid collection tank 16 and the second solid collection tank 19 in sequence. The softened water is pressurized by the second feed water pump 7, enters the heating surface arranged in the first solid collection tank 16, and then enters the high-pressure gasification reactor 8 through the high-pressure pipe mixer 17 after absorbing the heat of the gasification residues.

[0044] In the high-pressure pipe mixer 17, the carbon-containing substance slurry and the steam are mixed and heated, and then the mixture enters the high-pressure gasification reactor 8 through the raw material slurry feeding pipe 10. Figure 3 The high-pressure pipe mixer 17 is composed of a core pipe 36 and an outer shell 37. The core pipe 36 is trumpet-shaped and has many inclined holes in the wall. The middle part of the core pipe 36 is a mixing and heating zone, and the space between the core pipe 36 and the outer shell 37 is a steam zone. The first inlet 38 of the high-pressure pipe mixer 17 is connected to the carbon-containing substance slurry input pipe, the second inlet 39 is connected to the steam input pipe, and the outlet of the high-pressure pipe mixer is connected to the raw material slurry feeding pipe 10 of the high-pressure gasification reactor 8.

[0045] More specifically, the device for inputting raw material slurry includes a raw material slurry storage tank 1 and a high-pressure pump 2, the outlet end of the high-pressure pump 2 is connected to the first inlet 38 of the high-pressure pipeline mixer 17 through a carbon-containing substance slurry input pipeline, the water from the water storage tank 31 absorbs the heat of the gasification reaction product to become steam, enters the second inlet 39 of the high-pressure pipeline mixer 17, is sprayed into the mixing area at high speed through the core tube inclined hole, and the raw material slurry and the steam are fully mixed in the high-pressure pipeline mixer 17, and then the raw material slurry is input into the high-pressure gasification reactor 8 through the pipeline from the raw material slurry feeding pipe 10.

[0046] The heat energy recovery heat exchanger 18 includes a shell and a heat exchange pipe installed inside the shell; the two ends of the shell are respectively provided with a hot fluid inlet and a hot fluid outlet, and the two ends of the heat exchange pipe are respectively a cold fluid inlet and a cold fluid outlet.

[0047] The high-pressure gasification reactor product discharge pipe 14 is connected to the hot fluid inlet of the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 18, and the heat of the gasification product is recovered at medium pressure in the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 18.

[0048] The hot fluid outlet of the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 18 is connected to the product inlet of the high-pressure multi-phase separator 21. The mixture flowing out of the high-pressure gasification reactor 8 is reduced in temperature to a temperature lower than the critical temperature of carbon dioxide at medium pressure in the heat energy recovery heat exchanger 18, and then enters the high-pressure multi-phase separator 21.

[0049] The high-pressure multi-phase separator 21 includes a tank body, a product inlet 25 is arranged on the side wall of the tank body, and an inlet baffle 24 is arranged inside the tank body close to the product inlet 25; a partition plate is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the tank body below the product inlet 25, a downcomer 27 and a communication pipe 26 are arranged on the partition plate; a liquid carbon dioxide outlet 28 is arranged on the side wall of the tank body below the partition plate, a weir plate 29 is arranged inside the tank body close to the liquid carbon dioxide outlet 28, and the liquid carbon dioxide outlet 28 of the high-pressure multi-phase separator is connected to the carbon dioxide liquid storage tank 32. The top and bottom of the tank body are respectively fixed with a gas outlet 22 and a water outlet 30.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 The inlet baffle 24 and the weir plate 29 are both L-shaped baffles. The downcomer 27 is arranged vertically downward relative to the partition plate, and the communication pipe 26 is arranged vertically upward relative to the partition plate.

[0051] The gas-liquid mixture entering the high-pressure multi-phase separator is pre-separated into gas and liquid under the action of the inlet baffle 24, the pre-separated water and liquid carbon dioxide fall into the collection area through the downcomer 27, and the liquid carbon dioxide coalesces and floats to form a liquid carbon dioxide layer under the action of gravity settling, and the water droplets coalesce and settle to form a water layer. The liquid carbon dioxide on the upper layer overflows the weir plate 29 and is discharged from the liquid carbon dioxide outlet 28 into the carbon dioxide liquid storage tank 32.

[0052] Carbon dioxide exists in liquid state at high pressure and low temperature. The present embodiment uses the high pressure multi-phase separator described above to separate hydrogen-rich gas, liquid carbon dioxide and water according to their density differences and to capture liquid carbon dioxide, thereby effectively reducing the energy consumption for separating carbon dioxide.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the high pressure multi-phase separator 21 is provided with a mist eliminator 23 at the top thereof, and the pre-separated gas passes through the mist eliminator 23 to remove small liquid droplets.

[0054] The water outlet 30 at the bottom of the high pressure multi-phase separator 21 is directly or indirectly connected to the cold fluid inlet of the heat recovery heat exchanger 18, and the cold fluid outlet of the heat recovery heat exchanger 18 is connected to the steam input pipeline of the high pressure pipeline mixer 17.

[0055] Specifically, the water outlet 30 at the bottom of the high pressure multi-phase separator, the water storage tank 31 and the first feed water pump 20 are connected in sequence, and the outlet of the first feed water pump 20 is connected to the cold fluid inlet of the heat recovery heat exchanger.

[0060] A relatively specific embodiment is provided below to make a relatively specific description of the technical solutions claimed in the present application.

[0064] The gas pre-separated in the high-pressure multiphase separator 21 passes through the mist collector 23 to remove smaller droplets, and is discharged to the high-pressure pressure swing adsorption device 33 under the control of the pressure control valve. The produced high-purity hydrogen enters the high-pressure hydrogen storage tank 34, and the desorbed gas enters the high-pressure methane-rich gas storage tank 35.
