Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for capturing carbon dioxide from high-temperature gas and in-situ converting it into syngas (hereafter and hereinafter, syngas refers to CO or a mixture of CO with hydrogen, water vapor, etc.), and particularly relates to a method for capturing and utilizing carbon dioxide with cyclic temperature control and its reactor. Background Art
[0002] Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS: Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) is the most important technical path to address global climate change and control greenhouse gas emissions. This "new climate goal" will trigger a huge change in China's energy pattern. In modern industrial production, there are many emission sources of CO 2 , such as cement, steel, electricity, coal chemical industry, and refineries, etc., which are all major emitters of CO 2 . Regarding the CO 2 emission problem, various industries have carried out research and exploration on the capture, utilization, and storage of CO 2 , and each industry has formed a variety of technical methods for the capture, utilization, and storage of CO 2 according to its own industry characteristics.
[0003] Currently, the focus of large-scale research on carbon capture is concentrated in the power industry. Among them, the chemical absorption capture method for flue gas after combustion in coal-fired power plants is a relatively mature technology. However, high-temperature flue gas needs to be heat-exchanged step by step to be absorbed at low temperature, and its high solvent cost and high regeneration energy consumption result in an additional energy consumption increase of about 30% in coal-fired power plants. At the same time, the CO 2 captured is stored in different locations, which requires high transportation costs, and problems such as potential safety hazards are also highly questioned. The adsorption method is also relatively mature technically, but it is generally only used in working conditions with determined gas components. The capacity of the adsorbent and the CO 2 selectivity are relatively low, the cost is relatively high, and it is generally only used for low-temperature gases. The membrane method usually cannot achieve high-degree separation and requires multiple stages and / or recycling, resulting in an increase in complexity, energy consumption, and cost. At the same time, impurity components in the gas may also cause blockage. After capturing by the above-mentioned methods, only high-concentration CO 2 gas is obtained, and subsequent transportation, utilization, etc. are also issues worthy of attention. Developing technology for capturing CO 2 and converting it into high-value-added chemicals is the key.
[0004] The specific situations of the main domestic industrial pilot and demonstration projects are as follows: The CO 2 capture demonstration project launched by Huaneng Group at the second Shidongkou Power Plant in Shanghai in December 2009 used the CO 2 capture technology with independent intellectual property rights, and the annual CO 2The scale reaches 120,000 tons, capturing CO 2 Purity reaches over 99.5%. Captured CO 2 Part of it is used in the food processing industry after passing through the refining system, and the rest is used in industrial production. When it was put into operation, the capture device was the largest coal-fired power plant flue gas CO 2 Capture device. The 250MW IGCC unit of Huaneng Tianjin Green Coal Power was completed and put into operation in 2011, and the 400MW capacity was completed in 2016 and equipped with CO 2 IGCC unit with capture device, the demonstration project aims to research, develop, demonstrate and promote CO 2 Near-zero emission coal-based power generation system can significantly improve power generation efficiency and master the design, construction and operation technology of large-scale coal gasification projects.
[0005] Currently, calcium cycle capture of CO 2 pilot demonstration, including the flue gas CO of La Pereda, Spain's 1.7MWth power plant 2 Capture demonstration system, flue gas CO from Darmstadt's 1MWth power plant in Germany 2 The capture demonstration system adopts a calcium circulation double fluidized bed circulation capture system to achieve CO 2 Capture and regeneration.
[0006] All of the above technologies focus on CO 2 In terms of capture, it does not involve conversion and subsequent utilization. The published patents on CO 2 Research on capture and conversion is mostly focused on catalysts. 2 Capture is a highly exothermic reaction, and the conversion process is a highly endothermic reaction. The temperature and heat control of the reaction process is extremely critical. The design of the process and the type of reactor are the key to determining whether the technology is feasible. For highly endothermic and exothermic reactions, the measures usually taken include: using coils to take heat / supplement heat, using direct combustion heating, using fluidized beds, moving beds, etc. These methods are used for CO 2 There are some problems in both capture and conversion. On the one hand, with the switching of capture / conversion process, the coil absorbs heat and extracts heat at the same time, which is difficult to control; on the other hand, due to the uneven reaction in the catalyst bed, it is difficult to avoid local overheating / overcooling. Direct supplementary heating often causes local overheating of the catalyst bed. Taking the commonly used CaO / CaCO 3 For example, when the temperature is > 850-900℃, the adsorbent will melt and sinter, while CO 2 The conversion process generally requires a reaction temperature of 500 - 700 °C or higher. If direct afterburning heating is used, the temperature is too high, and the adsorbent will melt, sinter and deactivate. If the temperature is controlled below 800 °C, due to the temperature difference limitation, the supplementary heat quantity is very limited, or too much fuel gas and combustion-supporting gas need to be supplemented, resulting in serious dilution of the product and a decrease in the concentration of effective gas. If forms such as fluidized beds or moving beds are used, since most industrial flue gases are at atmospheric pressure or low pressure, restricted by pressure, it is basically impossible to achieve with conventional means.
[0007] Chinese Patent CN202110287520.5 discloses a method for synthesizing carbon monoxide syngas by reducing high-temperature molten heat carrier, carbon dioxide and carbon powder. This method uses carbon dioxide and carbon powder to absorb the sensible heat and latent heat emitted by the high-temperature heat carrier and heat up to the reduction temperature to instantaneously reduce it into high-energy carbon monoxide syngas, and uses the high-temperature volume specific heat capacity of carbon dioxide to conduct cyclic heat exchange on the granulated high-temperature heat carrier. The entire process has a long flow, and the core equipment is similar to a fluidized bed, with a large pressure drop. The process temperature frequently changes between 50 °C and 1500 °C. The drastic temperature change will inevitably bring energy consumption problems; and the long flow will bring pressure drop problems. Usually, the pressure of the flue gas is low, and the large pressure drop also limits the use of this technology.
[0008] Chinese Patent CN201821322948.9 discloses a catalytic reaction device, which is provided with a methane + steam hydrogen production catalyst at the lower part to produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide is introduced in the middle part, and a carbon dioxide hydrogenation catalyst is provided at the upper part. Carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen to produce carbon monoxide gas at the top. The main problems of this patent are: First, carbon dioxide hydrogenation is a strongly endothermic reaction. For every 5% reaction of equivalent ratio of CO 2 and H 2 it will cause a temperature drop of about 150 °C. In the form of this reactor, the reaction actually cannot be self-sustaining and will soon terminate due to temperature reduction; Second, this reactor does not involve carbon capture and is merely a carbon dioxide hydrogenation reactor.
[0009] Chinese CN201410202280.4 discloses a method based on manganese and lanthanide metal catalysts, which hydrogenates carbon dioxide to carry out the reverse water gas shift reaction to produce carbon monoxide. The main problems of this patent are similar to those of CN201821322948.9. First, carbon dioxide hydrogenation is a strongly endothermic reaction. For every 5% reaction of equivalent ratio of CO 2 and H 2 it will cause a temperature drop of about 150 °C. In the form of this reactor, the reaction actually cannot be self-sustaining and will soon terminate due to temperature reduction; Second, this reactor does not involve carbon capture and is merely a carbon dioxide hydrogenation reactor.
[0010] Currently, the patents, literature, etc. publicly available at home and abroad focus on CO 2In the aspects of capture and CO 2 hydrogenation reverse water-gas shift reaction research, while for CO 2 capture and in-situ conversion aspects, there are few related studies. Conducting efficient CO 2 capture at high temperature, and converting the captured CO 2 in-situ into syngas products, so as to facilitate the subsequent synthesis of high-value-added chemical products such as light olefins. This can not only fully improve energy utilization efficiency and effectively reduce emission reduction costs, but also avoid the high energy consumption of capture cooling / conversion heating, solve the high costs of purification and transportation after CO 2 capture, as well as the potential safety hazards brought by storage, and is expected to improve the feasibility and economy of the entire CO 2 emission reduction process, which has important significance. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The adsorption reactor and the conversion reactor described in the present invention are the same, which is only for the convenience of description in the present invention. Both the adsorption reactor and the conversion reactor are fixed-bed reactors, which can be single or multiple units. The single unit means being arranged in an overlapping manner or within the same housing, and multiple catalyst beds are provided in the single reactor, with each layer separated by a partition. Multiple reactors can also be provided, and one or more catalyst beds are provided in each reactor. The catalyst beds are filled with catalytic materials and heat storage bodies. The catalytic materials refer to materials with dual functions of carbon dioxide adsorption and catalytic conversion, such as CaO materials loaded with one or more active components such as Co, Ni, and lanthanide metals; the heat storage bodies refer to materials with heat storage functions, such as corundum, ceramics, mullite, zirconia, or cordierite, etc.
[0023] The gas that can react with CO 2 to generate CO refers to H 2 , CH 4 and C 2 H 6 etc. When these gases are introduced separately, the following reactions will occur:
[0024] CO 2 +2H 2 =CO+H 2 O+H 2 or CO 2 +H 2 =CO+H 2 O
[0025] CO 2 +CH 4 =2CO+2H 2
[0026] 2CO 2 +C 2 H 6 =4CO+3H 2
[0027] The present invention also provides a cyclic temperature-controlled carbon dioxide capture and utilization device for the above cyclic temperature-controlled carbon dioxide capture and utilization method, specifically:
[0028] A cyclic temperature-controlled carbon dioxide capture and utilization device mainly includes an adsorption reactor, a conversion reactor, an inlet heater of the conversion reactor, and an outlet cooler of the adsorption reactor. It is characterized in that: the adsorption reactor is connected to the outlet cooler of the adsorption reactor, and a partial branch at the outlet of the outlet cooler of the adsorption reactor is connected to each catalyst bed of the adsorption reactor.

The single reactor means being arranged in an overlapping manner or within the same housing, with multiple catalyst beds provided in the single reactor and separated by partition plates between each layer. Multiple reactors can also be provided, with one layer or multiple layers of catalyst beds provided in each reactor.

[0032] For the reactor according to the present invention, the amount A (m 3 ) of the catalytic material is determined by the amount A1 (t / h) of carbon dioxide to be adsorbed, the material adsorption capacity A2 (t / m 3 ) and the designed switching time A3 (h), and the specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0033] A = A1 × A3 / A2
[0034] Wherein: A1 represents the amount of carbon dioxide to be adsorbed;

When the temperature of the gas to be treated is too high, the temperature can be reduced to a suitable temperature range by recovering heat or the like; when the temperature is too low, the temperature can be raised to a suitable temperature range by heating or the like.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: 1) The carbon dioxide adsorption and conversion are completed in situ under similar temperature and pressure conditions, which can fully improve the energy utilization rate and effectively reduce the emission reduction cost, and avoid the high energy consumption of capture cooling / conversion heating, thus solving the problem of CO 2 The high cost of purification and transportation after capture, as well as the potential safety hazards caused by burial; 2) In the reactor of the present invention, because the heat exchange between the conversion process and the adsorption process is continuous and uniform, there will be no problems such as "flying temperature" and "local hot spots" that may cause equipment damage. The reactor is inherently safe and can completely avoid the possibility of overheating and damage to the reactor and catalytic materials caused by uneven reactions and accidental interruption of heat exchange media in traditional reactors; 3) The heat of the adsorption exothermic / conversion endothermic process can be coupled in situ for utilization, which saves more than 50% energy compared with existing reactors; 4) The reactor has a low pressure drop and can be applied to most flue gas conditions; 5) The process is simple, automatic sequence control can be realized, easy to operate and maintain, low investment, small footprint, and strong adaptability.
[0041] The present invention is further described in detail below with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods, but they do not limit the scope of the present invention. Brief Description of the Figures

Detailed implementation mode
[0046] As Figure 1 shown, it is a simple schematic diagram of a method for cyclic temperature-controlled carbon dioxide capture and utilization, and the process flow of the first adsorption and conversion process. As Figure 2 shown, it is a simple schematic diagram of a method for cyclic temperature-controlled carbon dioxide capture and utilization, and the process flow after the exchange of the adsorption and conversion processes. The number of reactors is at least 2, with 1 reactor in the adsorption reaction state and 1 reactor in the conversion and regeneration state. For the convenience of description, the adsorption reactor and the conversion reactor are used to illustrate the present invention. The reactors of the present invention can also be multiple, with some reactors in the adsorption reaction state and some reactors in the conversion and regeneration state, that is, there can be multiple adsorption reactors and multiple conversion reactors. When multiple reactors are used, they can be switched simultaneously or independently one by one to reduce the impact on the upstream gas such as fluctuations; the reactor can also be a single one, and the internal part is divided into different functional areas by means such as partitions.
[0047] The steps of the cyclic temperature-controlled carbon dioxide capture and utilization method are as follows:
[0048] 1) The CO 2 -containing high-temperature flue gas enters the adsorption reactor 6 and sequentially passes through the beds 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# of the catalyst bed 5. The CO 2 in the flue gas is adsorbed and captured by the catalytic material in the catalyst bed 5. Part of the heat generated during the adsorption reaction process is absorbed by the heat storage body in the catalyst bed. The gas after decarbonization coming out of the 4# bed is cooled by the cooler 8 at the outlet of the adsorption reactor. Part of the gas after decarbonization 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 is respectively circulated into the 2#, 3#, and 4# beds and mixed with the CO 2 flue gas coming from the upper stage, and the temperature decreases to ensure that the temperature entering the 2#, 3#, and 4# beds meets the requirements. At this time, the adsorption reactor 6 is in the adsorption state, and the adsorption reaction temperature is from normal temperature to 800 °C, preferably in the temperature range of 600 - 750 °C; the heater 11 at the inlet of the conversion reactor is in the bypass state; the control of the gas after decarbonization 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 for circulation can be achieved by control means, and the control is not the core content of this invention and will not be described in detail.
[0049] 2) After the adsorption reactor 6 reaches the saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, the CO-containing 2 high-temperature flue gas 1 is switched to enter the conversion reactor 7. After the reducing gas 3 is heated and raised in temperature by the inlet heater 11 of the conversion reactor, a part of it enters the adsorption reactor 6 and passes through each bed layer 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# of the catalyst bed layer 5 of the adsorption reactor step by step. The catalytic material that has adsorbed CO 2 reacts with the reducing gas, and carbon dioxide is reduced to CO. Part of the heat required for the conversion reaction is provided by the heat-absorbed regenerator described in step 1), and the remaining part is injected into the 2#, 3#, and 4# bed layers step by step by the reducing gas heated by the inlet heater 11 of the conversion reactor. While the process gas obtains heat, the concentration of the reducing component in the process gas also increases, improving the reduction conversion efficiency. At this time, the adsorption reactor 6 is in the conversion state, and the conversion reaction temperature is 100-950°C, preferably in the temperature range of 600-800°C; the cooler 8 at the outlet of the adsorption reactor is in the bypass state;
[0050] 3) The CO-containing 2 high-temperature flue gas enters the catalyst bed layer of the conversion reactor in sequence, and the CO in the flue gas 2 is adsorbed and trapped by the catalytic material in the catalyst bed layer. The heat generated during the adsorption reaction is absorbed by the regenerator in the catalyst bed layer, and the decarbonized gas 2 exits from the conversion reactor 7;
[0051] 4) After the conversion reactor 7 reaches the saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, the functions of the conversion reactor and the adsorption reactor are interchanged, that is, the conversion reactor is used for the adsorption reaction, and the adsorption reactor is used for the conversion. The CO-containing 2 high-temperature flue gas 1 is switched to enter the adsorption reactor 6 again, and the reducing gas is switched to enter the conversion reactor 7, and the above operations are repeated.
[0052] The 8, 9 - cooler at the outlet of the adsorption reactor can share 1 unit, and the 10, 11 - inlet heater of the conversion reactor can also share 1 unit, and it can be switched through cross-line with each other.
[0053] When the two reactors exchange the feed, there may be steps such as purging before switching in the middle, and the present invention will not elaborate on them one by one.
[0054] The following further illustrates the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments. The specific embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the protection content of the present invention.
[0055] Embodiment:
[0056] Taking the raw material high-temperature flue gas of 25000 Nm 3 / h as an example, the composition of the flue gas is as follows:
[0057]
[0058]
[0059] The flue gas temperature is 650 °C and the flue gas pressure is 12 kPa. The adsorption reactor 6 and the conversion reactor 7 are switched for operation. When the adsorption reactor 6 is in the adsorption state, the conversion reactor 7 is in the conversion and regeneration state.
[0060] 1) The high-temperature flue gas 1 at 650 °C enters the adsorption reactor 6 from the lower part. At this time, the inlet heater 11 of the conversion reactor is in the bypass state.
[0061] 2) In the catalyst bed 5 of the CaO-based catalytic material and the Al2O3 spherical regenerator in the adsorption reactor 6, the catalytic material is loaded with Co active component for catalyzing the reaction of CO 2 with H 2 .
[0062] 3) According to the calculation, with a switching period of 2.5 hours, 0.82 m 3 of catalytic material needs to be filled in each reactor. The reaction heat release load during the adsorption process is 13.5 MW.
[0063] 4) The flue gas enters the adsorption reactor 6, and the high-temperature CO2 gas sequentially passes through the bed layers 1#, 2#, 3#, and 4# in the catalyst bed 5. In the catalyst bed, CaO in the catalytic adsorption material reacts with CO 2 to generate CaCO 3 , and the released heat raises the temperature of the flue gas and the bed layer. 10.5 MW of heat is absorbed by the regenerator. The decarbonized gas coming out from the top of the adsorption reactor 6 is cooled to 500 °C by the adsorption reactor outlet cooler 8, and then a part is discharged into the air at high altitude. After calculation, the amounts of the decarbonized gas 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 entering the bed layers 2#, 3#, and 4# are controlled to be 2227.3 m 3 n / h, 1670.5 m 3 n / h, and 1113.6 m 3 n / h respectively, so as to ensure that the temperature of the gas entering the next bed layer is maintained at about 650 °C, and the purified flue gas volume is 11136.3 m 3 n / h, which is discharged from the top of the adsorption reactor 6.
[0064] 5) At the same time, in the conversion reactor 7, CaCO 3 in the catalytic adsorption material reacts with the excessive H heated to 730 °C by the conversion reactor inlet heater 11 2React to generate CaO, CO, and water. Most of the required heat is provided by the heat stored in the heat storage body during the adsorption process, and the insufficient part is heated by the inlet heater 11 of the reforming reactor. Hydrogen 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 is injected into the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th beds step by step. While the process gas obtains heat, the concentration of reducing components in the process gas also increases, improving the reduction and conversion efficiency. At this time, the adsorption reactor outlet cooler 81 is in a bypass state.
[0065] 6) The flow rate of the reaction product syngas 4 is 19183.2 m 3 n / h, and the temperature of the syngas is 500 °C, which is discharged from the gas outlet of the reforming reactor 6. The expected composition of the syngas is as follows:
[0066] Component Composition CO 25.4v% <![CDATA[H 2 > 43.7v% <![CDATA[CO 2 > 3.2v% <![CDATA[H 2 O]]> 27.7v% Total 100v%
[0067] 7) After 2 hours, the reactor is purged with hot nitrogen, and then the flue gas and hydrogen feed are switched. Then, the cycle is controlled sequentially according to the time sequence.
[0068] The flue gas treated by this embodiment can achieve a reduction in CO 2 emissions of 116,000 t / a, and at the same time, 99,000 t / a of by-product syngas is produced.
