Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of municipal solid waste treatment technology, and relates to a system and method for producing hydrogen through pyrolysis and gasification of municipal solid waste. Background Technology

[0002] The disposal of municipal solid waste has always been a challenge. While traditional landfill and incineration methods have solved the problem of waste accumulation in the short term, their resource utilization rate is extremely low, imposing a long-term burden on the environment. With the advancement of technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, people have begun to explore new ways to convert municipal solid waste into renewable energy, among which municipal solid waste hydrogen production technology is considered a promising solution.

[0003] However, current technologies for hydrogen production from municipal solid waste still face numerous challenges. Gasification, as a highly efficient hydrogen production method, has strict requirements regarding the calorific value and moisture content of the waste. Ideally, the calorific value of the waste should reach above 1500 kcal, and the moisture content should be controlled below 35% to ensure the smooth progress of the gasification process and efficient hydrogen production. However, most municipal solid waste in cities is characterized by high moisture content and low calorific value, which directly limits the widespread application of gasification. Even in some areas with higher calorific values, insufficient waste sorting and pretreatment technologies make it difficult to meet the stringent quality requirements of gasification.

[0004] While pyrolysis can process a wider range of waste types, the process requires complex equipment and operating conditions. Extreme environments such as high temperatures and high pressures not only increase the difficulty of technical implementation but also raise the operating and maintenance costs of the equipment. Furthermore, the harmful gases and solid residues generated during pyrolysis must be properly treated to avoid secondary pollution to the environment.

[0005] Anaerobic fermentation's long processing time limits its application in large-scale hydrogen production. While it offers significant advantages in treating organic waste, its slow hydrogen production rate and low yield make it insufficient for industrial-scale hydrogen production. Furthermore, anaerobic fermentation places specific demands on waste composition and pretreatment, such as removing non-combustible components like kitchen waste, further increasing the cost and complexity of waste pretreatment.

[0006] In summary, current technologies for producing hydrogen from municipal solid waste mainly suffer from problems such as the complex composition of municipal solid waste, high water content, relatively low hydrogen production rate and output, and the need to further improve the stability and reliability of the technology.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0038] The first objective of this invention is to provide a municipal solid waste pyrolysis gasification hydrogen production system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a municipal solid waste receiving system 1, a municipal solid waste crushing and dewatering system 2, a municipal solid waste drying system 3, a municipal solid waste pyrolysis and gasification system 4, a mixed gas purification and separation system 5, a flue gas purification device 6, and a filtrate treatment system 7.

[0039] The municipal solid waste receiving system 1 is responsible for receiving and temporarily storing municipal solid waste and performing initial dehydration treatment. The municipal solid waste crushing and dehydration system 2 is used to crush and dehydrate the municipal solid waste to reduce its volume and weight. The crushing process breaks down large pieces of waste into smaller pieces, facilitating subsequent drying and pyrolysis gasification treatment. The dehydration process removes excess moisture from the waste, reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions during pyrolysis gasification. The municipal solid waste drying system 3 further removes moisture from the waste, improving its calorific value and combustion efficiency. The dried waste is more easily pyrolyzed and gasified, generating more mixed gas and heat energy. The municipal solid waste pyrolysis gasification system 4 uses part of the dried municipal solid waste for carbonization and the other part for combustion to provide heat energy. The mixed gas purification and separation system 5 purifies the mixed gas produced by pyrolysis gasification, removing impurities such as dust, tar, and acidic gases to improve the quality and utilization value of the mixed gas. The purified mixed gas can be used for gas turbine power generation, internal combustion engine power generation, or as a heat source. The flue gas purification equipment 6 purifies the flue gas generated during the pyrolysis and gasification process to reduce pollutant emissions. The purified flue gas meets environmental emission standards, minimizing its impact on the environment.
