Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of low-carbon cement production, in particular to a system and method for producing low-carbon cement by using photovoltaic power generation to produce hydrogen. BACKGROUND
[0002] According to the current status of cement production in China, cement production is one of the main sources of global carbon emissions, accounting for about 8% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, and the carbon emissions are quite huge; the traditional cement production process is "three grinding and one burning", that is, grinding raw materials, grinding coal powder, burning clinker, and grinding cement, a rotary kiln uses the heat generated by burning fossil fuels (such as coal and natural gas) to burn the ground raw materials to prepare clinker, and the prepared clinker is mixed with fly ash, gypsum and other materials, and then ground to form cement; the large use of coal powder as calcination fuel not only has high carbon emissions, but also is difficult to realize dynamic energy consumption control, thereby restricting the development of green manufacturing. Various technologies have been explored in the industry, including hydrogen energy replacing coal, photovoltaic power supply, carbon capture and resource utilization.
[0003] Patent No. CN117069401A discloses a zero-carbon emission cement production device and method based on hydrogen energy utilization, which includes: using a hydrogen production system to generate hydrogen to replace part of the coal powder fuel supplied to the rotary kiln system, and recovering the carbon dioxide byproduct gas through a methanol synthesis system; the advantages of this scheme are: without greatly modifying the existing cement production line, the use of coal is reduced, and partial carbon emission reduction is achieved. However, the hydrogen is only an auxiliary fuel with a proportion of 5%-30%, and it still cannot get rid of the dependence on coal powder, and the carbon emission reduction range is limited; and the hydrogen used in the system is obtained by methanol reforming, and there is still an indirect emission problem of fossil energy. Patent No. CN218915948U discloses a system for realizing zero-carbon emission of a cement plant by using renewable green hydrogen, which uses photovoltaic or wind energy as the energy source, produces hydrogen and oxygen by electrolyzing water, supplies hydrogen to the cement rotary kiln for burning, and captures carbon dioxide in the tail gas and synthesizes methanol with hydrogen to realize carbon resource utilization. However, the energy scheduling strategy between the sub-systems is not optimized, for example, there is a lack of coordination mechanism between photovoltaic output and electrolysis load, and hydrogen supply load, which makes it difficult to adapt to the energy efficiency stability problem caused by renewable energy fluctuation, resulting in the need to improve the system operation efficiency.
[0004] Patent publication CN115961294A discloses a zero-carbon emission carbon-based chemical product preparation system and method. Hydrogen is produced by renewable energy power generation driving water electrolysis system, and carbon dioxide in carbon-containing flue gas is captured. Hydrogen or water reacts under electrocatalysis / thermal catalysis conditions to synthesize carbon-based chemical products such as methanol and ethanol. The existing technology is mainly applied to general platform type structures of carbon emission industries such as chemical industry, power industry and steel industry. The system construction is not customized designed for the production chain characteristics of the cement industry. There are the following technical limitations: it is not applicable to the key links in the cement production process, such as raw material grinding, rotary kiln calcination and cement grinding. Patent publication numbers CN117563407A, CN116478014A and CN117175679A also have the above problems.
[0005] In summary, although the prior art attempts to introduce hydrogen energy and renewable energy into the field of cement production to achieve a certain degree of carbon reduction or carbon cycle, the following technical problems have not been effectively solved:
[0006] The traditional hydrogen replacement coal technology still adopts a partial replacement scheme, which cannot achieve zero carbonization of the rotary kiln. The photovoltaic renewable energy system has large fluctuation. The carbon dioxide resourceization path is single, and a multi-functional energy closed-loop system coupled with hydrogen energy has not been formed. The waste heat and surplus energy utilization efficiency is not high, and the energy cascade utilization and production line energy closed loop have not been fully realized.
[0007] Therefore, an integrated technical solution is needed that combines photovoltaic hydrogen production, intelligent commissioning, hydrogen full replacement combustion, carbon dioxide resource recycling and multi-stage energy recovery. It can not only achieve zero carbon emission of the rotary kiln full process, but also has excellent energy efficiency regulation capability, and adapts to the new energy dominated green cement manufacturing trend.

[0038] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panels 11 replace the conventional rainproof shed materials, solar energy is converted into electric energy, the electric energy is stored in the storage battery through the inverter 10 and then used to supply the water electrolysis tank 13 for water electrolysis reaction to produce high-purity hydrogen and oxygen; hydrogen is used as the only fuel of the rotary kiln 12, enters the calcination zone through a multi-point fuel injection system to realize efficient and uniform combustion, raw materials are converted into clinker through high-temperature reaction in the rotary kiln 12, are cooled through the grate cooler 16 and are stored in the clinker finished product bin 19; by-product oxygen is used for combustion support or sold externally; waste heat is used for electrolytic cell heating and plant power supply through heat exchange to improve energy efficiency; meanwhile, hydrogen produced by electrolysis and carbon dioxide in the calcination tail gas are jointly sent into a methanol synthesis device to generate green methanol, forming an energy-carbon coupling closed loop; in addition, an intelligent control system monitors parameters of each process node in real time, dynamically adjusts photovoltaic output, electrolysis load, hydrogen flow and combustion temperature, and realizes heat-electricity-carbon balance linkage.
[0039] Compared with the traditional cement production method, the system cancels the coal powder preparation and combustion link, realizes complete decarburization in the calcination process, improves the electrolysis efficiency by using high-temperature electrolysis technology, and effectively utilizes the rotary kiln tail gas waste heat as an electrolysis heat source, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption.

To improve the batching accuracy, the system can also integrate weighing sensors and proportional control systems, and set the flow ratio of different materials through PLC programs to achieve higher precision intelligent batching control.
[0045] In one possible implementation, the water electrolysis cell 13 is a solid oxide electrolysis cell, with an operating temperature of 600℃-850℃, using yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide as the solid electrolyte, Ni-YSZ as the cathode, and La1- X SrxMnO3 serves as the anode, electrolyzing water vapor to generate hydrogen and oxygen under high-temperature conditions. The exhaust temperature of the rotary kiln is generally between 300℃ and 450℃, but can reach 600℃ to 850℃ after heat exchange. Its temperature range matches that of the electrolysis cell. The high-temperature heating of the water electrolysis cell 13 provides working heat energy for the water electrolysis hydrogen production system by exchanging heat with the waste heat of the exhaust gas from the rotary kiln calcination system.
[0046] This embodiment uses a solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) as the core device for hydrogen production through water electrolysis. This electrolyzer utilizes the reaction between water vapor and the solid electrolyte interface at high temperature to generate hydrogen and oxygen. The core material system of the SOEC includes a Ni-YSZ composite cathode, a YSZ ceramic electrolyte layer, and La1- X The SrxMnO3 anode can operate stably in the range of 600℃-850℃. Since the exhaust gas temperature of the rotary kiln 12 is between 300℃ and 450℃, it can reach the temperature range required by SOEC after being heated by the efficient heat exchange structure. Therefore, no additional heating energy is required to maintain the temperature of the electrolytic cell. The system introduces the heat energy of the rotary kiln exhaust gas into the electrolytic cell through the heat exchanger to realize the recovery and utilization of heat energy. At the same time, it drives the high-temperature electrolysis reaction of water vapor, outputs high-purity hydrogen for cement calcination, and the by-product oxygen can be used for combustion or sold industrially.
[0047] The SOEC module includes: an electrolytic cell body, composed of a multi-layer series structure, with each electrolysis unit using the following material configuration:
[0048] Cathode: A Ni-YSZ composite material is used, with YSZ (yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide) having a mass fraction of 50% and nickel powder having a particle size of 1-3 μm. The composite structure electrode layer is prepared by co-firing and has good electron-oxygen ion dual conductivity and porous structure, which is conducive to the reaction of water vapor on the electrode surface to generate hydrogen.
[0049] Electrolyte layer: YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) ceramic sheet with a thickness of 50-100 μm, high oxygen ion mobility, stable performance in the temperature range of 600-850°C;
[0050] Anode: La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO3 as the main material, prepare perovskite conductive ceramic, coated on the other side of the electrolyte and sintered at high temperature to form a dense layer, used for oxygen ion electron emission to form oxygen;
[0051] Heating and thermal coupling structure: The electrolysis cell module is provided with an independent heat preservation shell, and the cement rotary kiln tail gas passes through the heat exchanger coil at the lower part of the shell to exchange heat. After heat exchange, the internal temperature of the SOEC is maintained in the range of 720°C-780°C, without the need for external electric heating.
[0052] Photovoltaic power supply system interface: In this embodiment, the SOEC module is connected to the output end of the photovoltaic inverter through a direct current bus, and a dynamic voltage stabilization control strategy is adopted. When the photovoltaic solar radiation is strong and the power generation is high, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) power supply is carried out to drive the SOEC system to carry out efficient water vapor electrolysis.
[0053] Steam input and gas output path:
[0054] The water source is recycled water in the plant, which is heated to 250°C by a multi-stage evaporation heating system and then input into the SOEC module;
[0055] The hydrogen product is directly introduced into the hydrogen storage tank 14 and used for the rotary kiln calcination fuel system;
[0056] The byproduct oxygen is dehydrated and then enters the oxygen storage tank 15, which can be used for the rotary kiln combustion support system or sold externally.
[0057] Under the above structure, the SOEC module has an average hydrogen production rate of 0.36 Nm³ / h, an average hydrogen production of 0.03 Nm³ per kilowatt of photovoltaic power, a hydrogen production efficiency of 82%, an increase of about 30% compared with normal temperature electrolysis, and good system stability.

The hot air conduit can be provided with a multi-channel control system to realize independent temperature adjustment of the raw material and cement systems and automatically adjust the hot air flow according to the moisture content of the material. When the heat of the tail gas is insufficient, an electric heating or gas boiler system can be used as a supplementary heat source. If the vertical mill system needs to achieve higher drying efficiency, a staged drying section or a mixed air system can be added to realize a multi-stage heat utilization structure, further improving the overall thermal efficiency and system stability.
