Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of methane thermal cracking hydrogen production, and in particular relates to a green electricity microwave discharge plasma methane cracking hydrogen-carbon cogeneration system and method. Background Art

[0002] Microwave discharge plasma is one of the common plasma cracking technologies. It has the characteristics of high ionization and decomposition degree, high electron temperature and density, and high energy efficiency. It can be designed without electrodes and has the ability to increase the reaction rate and reduce the reaction activation energy. It can achieve efficient methane cracking to obtain low-carbon hydrogen and high-value by-products.

[0003] At present, the main microwave discharge plasma action mode is plasma torch, which ignites the plasma torch through high energy consumption and high gas velocity, and can realize the action of high-energy electrons on reactants to achieve the purpose of reactant conversion. This method requires huge energy to start and also requires high energy input to maintain the plasma state, which has problems such as high energy consumption, high gas velocity, and uncontrollable reaction.

[0004] Adding a catalyst can reduce the reaction activity in exchange for the methane conversion rate under low power and low flow, but the deactivation of the catalyst will lead to low stability of the reaction, and the impurity of the gaseous products will increase the cost of later separation. CN111085242B discloses a method and catalyst for microwave catalytic methane hydrogen production, using Ni / Mo2C / SBA-15 catalyst to catalyze the direct conversion of methane to produce hydrogen under microwave conditions, and by adjusting different catalyst parameters and reaction conditions, a certain degree of heating temperature increase and conversion rate improvement can be achieved, but the power consumption is still very high. CN116553525A discloses an application and application method of a non-thermal oxygen-free plasma methane cracking system, which needs to be carried out at a high power of 15-30KW and a high flow of 100-300L / min. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a green electricity microwave discharge plasma methane cracking hydrogen and carbon co-production system and method. Compared with the traditional microwave discharge plasma methane cracking method, this method achieves a high methane conversion rate (>95%) at a low gas velocity (<0.02m / s, which is 30% of the traditional method) and low energy consumption (<400kJ / mol, which is 40% of the traditional method) without adding any catalyst, and at the same time achieves orderly and controllable conversion of gaseous products and the production of high-value carbon. This method can realize the industrial production of green hydrogen and high-value carbon from methane, with low investment and low operating expenses, no catalyst and water are required, low implementation difficulty, and low energy consumption.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution implemented by the present invention is: The first aspect of the present invention provides a green power microwave discharge plasma methane cracking hydrogen and carbon cogeneration system, comprising: Green electricity supply system, used for access to green electricity; A gas supply system for providing stable hydrocarbon compounds and discharge medium gas; Microwave discharge plasma cracking system, used for cracking hydrocarbon compounds to produce gas and carbon products; A carbon product separation and collection system, used to separate and collect carbon products from gases; A gas circulation system, used for circulating part of the cracked gas; Gas separation and purification system, used for separation and purification of hydrogen.

[0007] Preferably, the hydrocarbon compound is selected from methane, ethane, ethylene or acetylene.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, a microwave discharge plasma cracking system is equipped with a filler and a microwave source, and the filler is made of an absorbing material with a curvature radius less than or equal to the tip length or radius; further, the filler material is selected from metal needles, metal wires, metal mesh or activated carbon.

[0009] Preferably, the discharge medium gas is selected from argon or nitrogen and other chemically stable gases that are easy to form discharge plasma.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for co-producing hydrogen and carbon by methane cracking using green power microwave discharge plasma, comprising the following steps: S1. placing the filler into the reaction area of ​​the microwave discharge plasma cracking system; S2. A discharge medium gas is introduced into the microwave reaction chamber of the microwave discharge plasma cracking system to provide a discharge environment for the reaction chamber; S3. Adjust the energy input of the microwave generator to input microwaves into the microwave reaction chamber, so that the filling in the microwave reaction chamber is continuously discharged, and a stable plasma field is formed around the filling; S4. Adjust the gas input of the gas supply system, introduce a mixture of hydrocarbon compound gas and discharge medium gas into the microwave reaction chamber, and start the microwave discharge plasma cracking reaction; S5. The reaction products are separated into gas and solid by passing through the separation and settling area of ​​the microwave discharge plasma cracking system; the carbon products are collected in the carbon product separation and collection system; and the gas products are collected after passing through the gas separation and purification system.

[0011] Furthermore, the gas circulation volume and frequency of the gas circulation system are regulated according to the product distribution of the gas separation and purification system to regulate the quality of the gas-solid products.

[0012] Preferably, in step S4, the conditions for the microwave discharge plasma cracking reaction include: a gas velocity of 0.003 m / s to 0.033 m / s; a content of hydrocarbon compound gas in a mixture of hydrocarbon compound gas and discharge medium gas of any value between 10% and 50%; and adjusting the energy input of the microwave generator, the power of which is calculated as hydrocarbon compound gas to any condition between 20 W / mol and 150 W / mol.

[0014] Based on the alkane cracking theory, the high-energy particles in the plasma interact with the alkane molecules, causing the chemical bonds to break and generate small molecular products. Alkane cracking involves: 1. Microwave energy effect: Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves that can penetrate matter and interact with its molecules. In alkane cracking, microwave energy is absorbed and converted into heat energy, giving alkane molecules enough energy to crack.

[0015] 2. Plasma generation: Microwave energy can induce gas ionization under certain conditions (such as high-pressure or low-pressure gas environment) to form plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, composed of free electrons, ions and neutral particles. It is highly active and can promote chemical reactions. The high-energy electrons and ions in the plasma can collide with alkane molecules and trigger cracking reactions.

[0016] 3. Cracking mechanism: High-energy electrons in the plasma collide with alkane molecules, transferring energy to the alkane molecules, breaking their chemical bonds and generating free radicals and small molecular products. These free radicals further react to generate smaller hydrocarbon molecules, such as olefins and hydrogen.

[0017] 4. Main reaction steps: Excitation and ionization: high-energy electrons collide with alkane molecules to excite or ionize them, generating free radicals and ions; bond breaking: excited or ionized alkane molecules undergo bond breaking to generate small molecule products; free radical reaction: the generated free radicals react further to generate stable products.

[0018] The plasma alkane cracking theory uses the interaction between high-energy particles in the plasma and alkane molecules to cause chemical bond breakage and generate small molecule products. This technology has the advantages of high efficiency, strong selectivity and environmental protection, and has broad application prospects in many fields.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides a green electricity microwave discharge plasma methane cracking hydrogen-carbon cogeneration system and method, which can achieve a methane conversion rate of >95% under low flow and low energy consumption, realize efficient cracking of methane, and reduce the energy consumption and cost of the entire reaction process.

[0020] 2. The present invention can achieve directional and controllable production of products through a gas circulation system, and achieve directional and selective regulation of gaseous products such as ethane and pure hydrogen by changing the gas circulation.

[0021] 3. This method can obtain high-value carbon products, such as low-layer graphene products, carbon nanotubes, carbon black, etc. At the same time, no carbon dioxide is produced in the process. It is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for producing high-value carbon by methane cracking.

[0022] 4. This method prepares hydrogen through methane cracking, avoiding the emission of a large amount of carbon dioxide in the traditional methane steam reforming method, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meeting the requirements of environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0023] 5. This system can be started and stopped at any time, and can match unstable electricity such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, etc. It can realize industrial methane production of green hydrogen and high-value carbon, with low investment and low operating expenses, no catalyst and water required, and low implementation difficulty.

The peak ratio of the D peak and the G peak is used to describe the degree of graphitization of the sample, and a lower ID / IG indicates a better degree of graphitization. The sharper the 2D peak and the higher the intensity, the lower the number of graphene layers. It can be seen that the degree of graphitization is higher and the number of layers is lower under 400W conditions.
