[0002] Biomass energy is the world's fourth largest energy source after the three major fossil energy sources. It is also the only carbon source among renewable energy sources and has the characteristics of carbon neutrality. Biomass carbonization technology is to heat biomass and slowly decompose it to produce solid coke under inert and anoxic conditions, which can achieve dual recovery of matter and energy. The biomass carbonization process is an endothermic process and consumes a lot of heat. Among the many heat supply methods, molten salt heat storage technology is to heat solid inorganic salts to above their melting point to form a liquid molten system to achieve efficient heat storage. Molten salt heat storage coupled with biomass carbonization technology can effectively reduce the cost of biomass carbonization.

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a molten salt carbonization method based on combustible gas component regulation, the method comprising:
[0033] S1: Construct a model for the generation of biomass carbonization products;
[0034] S2: clarify the mechanism of the relationship between biomass products and heat;
[0035] S3: The correlation between the flow rate, temperature and heat of molten salt;
[0036] S4: Based on the correlation mechanism obtained in steps S2 and S3, a biomass product and molten salt flow and temperature control model can be established.
[0037] In this stage, the pyrolysis reaction process of biomass under different temperature and environmental conditions is analyzed through experiments and numerical simulations, and a model for the generation of carbonized products is established. This model can describe the proportion of solid phase (biochar), liquid phase (tar) and gas phase (combustible gas) produced by the decomposition of biomass in a molten salt environment, and determine the reaction rate and material migration characteristics in combination with kinetic parameters.
[0038] This stage focuses on analyzing the input, transfer and distribution of heat during biomass carbonization, studying the energy required for pyrolysis and the thermal effect of product generation. Through experimental determination of product distribution at different temperatures and heating rates, a mathematical correlation model between biomass products and heat supply is established to optimize thermal energy utilization efficiency and improve the selectivity of target products.
[0039] In the molten salt carbonization process, the molten salt acts as a heat carrier and can also participate in mass transfer and catalysis, so it is necessary to clarify the relationship between its flow rate, temperature and the thermal balance of the system. By regulating the flow rate, temperature gradient and contact time of the molten salt, the effects on the carbonization rate, product distribution and reaction thermodynamics are studied to obtain the optimal operating parameters of the molten salt system.
[0040] Combined with the correlation between heat and molten salt parameters obtained in the second and third stages, a control model for biomass products changing with molten salt flow and temperature is further established. This model can be used to predict product composition and energy conversion efficiency under different working conditions, achieve precise control of the biomass carbonization process, improve the quality of carbonization products and the adjustability of combustible gas components to meet different application requirements.
[0041] The S1 specifically includes:
[0042] Based on the machine learning method, the specific heat capacity parameters of biomass are obtained, and the correlation between the products and temperature of the biomass carbonization process is obtained (within the range of 500-800°C). The gaseous products include four small molecular gases, CO2, CO, H2, and CH4, and the solid product is biochar. The following curve relationship can be further obtained: the horizontal axis is temperature (°C), the left vertical axis is the total content (%) and real-time concentration (mg / cm -3 ), the right vertical axis is the calorific value of biochar (MJ / kg).
[0043] The S2 specifically includes:
[0044] Based on the content and temperature changes of gaseous products during carbonization, the heat required for biomass carbonization can be further calculated if the biomass input mass and average specific heat capacity parameters are known; the following curve relationship under different input mass conditions can be obtained: the horizontal axis is the input heat (MJ), and the vertical axis is the total content (%) and real-time concentration (mg / cm -3 ).
[0045] The S3 specifically includes:
[0046] Based on the test, the specific heat capacity parameters of the molten salt at different temperatures can be obtained; according to the formula Q=mcΔt, a correlation model of the molten salt flow, temperature and heat at different temperatures can be established.
[0047] The S4 specifically includes:
[0048] Based on the calorific value of the target biochar, the content and real-time concentration of the corresponding gaseous products generated simultaneously can be known, and the corresponding heat required to complete the entire carbonization process can be checked; the molten salt will supply heat to the biomass during the heat exchange process of the biomass, and the heat release will cause the molten salt temperature to drop; therefore, by detecting the real-time temperature of the molten salt, the molten salt flow rate can be regulated according to the heat required for the carbonization process.
[0049] Using machine learning methods, we first collected experimental data at various temperature points during the carbonization process of biomass at 500-800 °C, including the total content and real-time concentration data of gaseous products (CO2, CO, H2, CH4) (unit: mg / cm 3 ) and the calorific value data of biochar (unit: MJ / kg), and obtain the specific heat capacity parameters of biomass. Through data fitting, a mathematical model with temperature as the horizontal axis, gaseous product generation (% and concentration) on the left vertical axis and biochar calorific value on the right vertical axis was constructed to form a product generation curve based on temperature changes.
[0050] During the carbonization process, the heat required for biomass carbonization is calculated by the heat balance formula based on the experimentally measured gaseous product content and temperature change data, combined with the known biomass input mass and its average specific heat capacity parameters. With the input heat (unit: MJ) as the horizontal axis, the functional relationship between the total content of gaseous products and the real-time concentration under different input mass conditions is established to form a correlation mechanism model between heat and product generation.
[0051] The molten salt is tested at different temperatures to obtain its specific heat capacity parameter data. According to the formula Q = mcΔt, the test data is used to establish a mathematical correlation model of molten salt flow (unit: kg / s or L / s), temperature (℃) and transferred heat (MJ). By fitting the experimental data, a quantitative relationship curve between molten salt flow, temperature and heat in a certain temperature range is formed.
[0052] Based on the correlation mechanism between the heat required for biomass carbonization and product generation obtained in step 2, and the correlation law between molten salt flow, temperature and heat in step 3, combined with the target biochar calorific value requirements, a mathematical model for regulating the biomass product and molten salt flow and temperature is established. The model calculates the molten salt flow parameters that need to be adjusted by inputting the target product parameters and measuring the molten salt temperature in real time.
[0053] In the actual operation process, the temperature, flow rate and related heat data of the molten salt are collected in real time through sensors, and the data of the generation of biomass carbonization products are monitored. Using these data, the parameters of the mathematical model established in steps 1 to 4 are calibrated to ensure that the data input and output between the models have good consistency and accuracy, thus forming a closed-loop data collection and calibration system.
[0054] The method includes constructing a biomass carbonization product generation model, clarifying the relationship between biomass products and heat, forming the relationship between molten salt flow, temperature and heat, and establishing a biomass product and molten salt flow and temperature control model based on the above-mentioned relationship mechanism. Parameter transmission and information exchange are achieved through data collection and model correction between each step, forming a complete and closed-loop mathematical model system from biomass input to molten salt control.
