Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and in particular, relates to a CaC 2 A continuous preparation method and device, in particular, a method for continuously preparing CaC using new energy electricity and biomass carbon 2 Method and device. Background Art

[0002] Calcium Carbide CaC 2 Commonly known as calcium carbide, it is an important coal chemical product and basic chemical raw material. It is mainly used to produce acetylene and acetylene-based chemical products and was once known as the "mother of organic synthesis industry". 2 The production adopts the method of fixed bed, moving bed, lump raw materials, and arc heating. Due to the small contact area between lump coke and CaO, the solid-solid phase reaction is severely limited by the transfer process, so that the industrial reaction needs to be carried out at high temperature, resulting in "long reaction time, low single furnace capacity, energy consumption per ton up to 3250kWh, calcium carbide purity of about 80%, and thermal efficiency of only 50%. It is of practical value to develop new energy-saving processes.

[0003] Chinese patent CN116288415A introduces a new type of electrolytic preparation of calcium carbide (CaC 2 ) method, which uses a carbonaceous material as a cathode and a compound containing calcium ions as a molten salt, performs cathode electrolysis at a temperature not exceeding 800°C, and obtains calcium carbide from the cathode product. Although this method has a low temperature requirement, it cannot achieve continuous production and has high energy consumption. Chinese patent CN116239120A discloses a method for recycling waste heat of liquid calcium carbide, which is obtained by uniformly mixing carbonaceous raw materials, calcium raw materials, catalysts, binders and foaming agents, pressing molding materials, and performing heat treatment and waterproofing to obtain the first calcium coke. Then the first calcium coke is spread on the bottom of the calcium carbide pot, liquid calcium carbide is added, and the first calcium coke is reacted to synthesize calcium carbide to obtain solid calcium carbide, thereby realizing the recovery of waste heat. This method requires multiple batches of manual operation and cannot achieve continuous production. In addition, the pressed block material affects the reaction mass transfer and heat transfer, thereby affecting the performance of the overall process. Li Guodong's doctoral dissertation at Beijing University of Chemical Technology, "Fundamental Research on a New Process for the Preparation of Calcium Carbide from Powdered Coke and Powdered Calcium Oxide" (Beijing University of Chemical Technology, June 2, 2011), mentioned a new calcium carbide production process, which uses powdered raw materials instead of block raw materials and uses oxygen thermal method instead of arc method, aiming to reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency. Although this method reduces power consumption, it requires the addition of an oxygen production process, which consumes a lot of energy and chemical raw materials, and does not fully achieve energy conservation. Various patents and research are aimed at energy conservation, which shows how to reduce CaC 2Energy consumption in the production process is the key point to be considered in the process. In terms of carbon source, the existing technology is to increase the final product CaC 2 Coke or activated carbon is often used directly in the quality of biomass. Biomass also contains a large amount of carbon. Due to the collection radius within 100 kilometers, the cost of large-scale collection is high and it is difficult to use effectively. 2 There is no report on using biomass as a carbon source in the production of calcium carbide. The distributed calcium carbide production model can better match the biomass carbon source.

[0004] At the same time, more renewable energy power generation systems are now in operation and supplying electricity to the grid. The main players in renewable energy power generation are wind power and photovoltaic power, and their installed capacity is increasing year by year. Wind and photovoltaic power are non-continuous resources in renewable energy. Power generation is affected by weather conditions, has certain periodic characteristics, and is also highly volatile. On the other hand, electricity consumption patterns also have periodic and volatile characteristics. This mismatch will lead to a large amount of abandoned electricity that cannot be connected to the grid. Using abandoned electricity for product transformation is an effective way to use it.

[0005] Judging from the above existing technologies and developments, the calcium carbide production method that can combine new energy and abandoned electricity while taking into account carbon emission reduction has the dual advantages of being green and low-carbon, and has great application prospects and potential. Summary of the invention

[0006] Technical issues

[0007] The current problems with the calcium carbide process include: high temperature. The existing process uses block raw materials and electric arc heating, which means that the process needs to be carried out at high temperature, increasing energy consumption and investment costs. Due to the small specific surface area of ​​block raw materials, low mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency, slow reaction rate, and high reaction temperature, high energy consumption is required. The thermal efficiency of the product in the fixed bed process is only about 20%, which results in huge energy waste. The reaction rate of block raw materials is slow, the reaction time is long, and the single furnace capacity is low. Equipment durability issues. Arc heating has high requirements for equipment, and there is a problem of short equipment service life.

[0008] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a device for continuously producing calcium carbide by using abandoned electricity from new energy and biomass as a carbon source. The device uses biomass as a carbon source and plasma reaction as the main route for preparing calcium carbide, and designs a combination of process units such as a CaO preheater, a biomass carbonization furnace / plasma reactor to complete the calcium carbide processing process.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for continuously preparing CaC by using the device. 2The method uses biomass char as raw material, firstly, the biomass is made into coke powder in the presence of CaO through a pretreatment device, and then the coke powder loaded with CaO is sprayed into a high-frequency plasma reactor to react and generate CaC 2 , H 2 , CO, etc., through the processes of high-temperature separation of gas and solid, cooling, and recycling of gas phase products to complete the entire treatment process.
