Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid fuel, and in particular to a method and a device for preparing liquid fuel based on a plasma reactor. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the amount of urban garbage in my country has increased dramatically. Landfill, as one of the traditional ways of garbage disposal, has alleviated the pressure of garbage disposal to a certain extent, but the accompanying environmental pollution problem has also become increasingly prominent. During the landfill process, a large amount of landfill gas (LFG) will be produced due to the decomposition of microorganisms, the main component of which is methane ( ) and carbon dioxide ( ), both of which are major greenhouse gases and have made significant contributions to global warming. In particular, methane has a greenhouse effect dozens of times greater than carbon dioxide. If it is directly emitted into the atmosphere, it will not only cause serious environmental pollution, but also cause huge energy waste.
[0003] In order to effectively deal with this problem, domestic and foreign scholars and research institutions are committed to exploring ways to utilize landfill gas as a resource. The traditional approach is to collect landfill gas and use it for combustion to generate electricity. Although this method can partially achieve energy recovery, the overall utilization efficiency is low, and the deep conversion and utilization of the two key components, methane and carbon dioxide, are limited.
[0004] In recent years, with the rapid development of plasma technology, it has shown great application potential in the fields of environmental governance and energy conversion. Plasma reactors use the inelastic collisions between high-energy electrons and gas molecules to initiate and accelerate chemical reactions under low temperature and pressure conditions. They are particularly suitable for treating complex gas mixtures, such as landfill gas. Compared with traditional catalytic reforming technology, plasma reactors have the advantages of no need for complex catalysts, mild operating conditions, fast reaction speed, low coking, and small equipment size, providing new ideas for the efficient conversion of landfill gas.
[0005] Specifically, a plasma reactor is used to reform the methane and carbon dioxide in landfill gas into synthesis gas (mainly carbon monoxide and hydrogen, The ratio is about 1:1), which not only effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions, but also provides high-quality raw materials for subsequent chemical processes such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is an important process for converting synthesis gas into liquid hydrocarbons (such as gasoline, diesel and other liquid fuels). The ratio directly affects the distribution and yield of the product. Therefore, the liquid fuel preparation method based on the plasma reactor not only solves the environmental pollution problem of landfill gas, but also promotes the recycling of resources, which has far-reaching significance for promoting sustainable development of energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving the living environment of human beings.

Further, a high-temperature hydrocarbon mixture is generated by reaction in the Fischer-Tropsch reactor R102, and the high-temperature hydrocarbon mixture contains unreacted mixed gas. The high-temperature hydrocarbon mixture is cooled to 5-40°C by the fourth heat exchange component to obtain a low-temperature hydrocarbon mixture, and the low-temperature hydrocarbon mixture is passed into the second flash tank V101 for flash separation to remove the unreacted mixed gas therein, that is, the mixed gas and the water-containing liquid fuel are separated.

[0073] (3) Cascade utilization of system energy.
[0074] 3.1 Using high temperature synthesis gas to preheat the first mixed gas.
[0075] First, the high-temperature synthesis gas at the outlet of the plasma reactor R101 exchanges heat with the raw gas (eg, the first mixed gas) entering the plasma reactor R101 in the third heat exchanger E102 and the first heat exchanger E100.
[0076] 3.2 Use high temperature synthesis gas to provide thermal energy for the first power generation component.
[0077] Next, the high-temperature synthesis gas after treatment in 3.1 enters the ninth heat exchanger E201 and exchanges heat with the liquid organic working fluid in the ninth heat exchanger E201 to obtain the gaseous organic working fluid. The gaseous organic working fluid is sent to the first steam turbine T201, so that the first steam turbine T201 generates electricity to provide electrical energy for the plasma reactor R101, and produces low-pressure gaseous organic working fluid.
