Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device, and particularly to a method and a device for desulfurizing and decarbonizing syngas. Background Art

[0002] As an important carrier for realizing the green and low-carbon transformation, hydrogen energy provides an effective solution for zero carbon emissions of energy. According to different raw materials, hydrogen production technologies are mainly divided into three categories: gray hydrogen (synthetic natural gas, i.e., syngas) based on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, hydrogen production from industrial by-products, and hydrogen production by electrolyzing water. At present, China's coal resources are relatively rich. However, due to the limitations of hydrogen production technologies, China mainly relies on fossil fuels at the present stage, and generates carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen through the gasification or reforming process of water and coal. This hydrogen production process accounts for about 64% of the total hydrogen production. The proportions of hydrogen production from industrial by-products and hydrogen production by electrolyzing water are about 32% and 4% respectively. Although the energy conversion efficiency of fossil fuel hydrogen production is as high as 80%, the average carbon dioxide (CO 2 )emission during its hydrogen production process is close to 14 kg / kg (calculated based on CO 2 / H 2 ), and the carbon dioxide emission is high. Its improvement plan is to effectively reduce carbon emissions by adding a carbon capture and storage (CCS) link.

[0003] At present, the most mature and widely applied carbon dioxide capture technology is the "monoethanolamine (MEA) chemical absorption method" developed in the United States. The device investment cost of this method is as high as 2000 to 3000 yuan per kilowatt, and the energy consumption required for absorbent regeneration is about 3.0 GJ / t (calculated based on CO 2 ), accounting for 60% to 70% of the operating energy consumption, and its operating cost is as high as 200 to 400 yuan / tCO 2 . Therefore, in the process of water-gas shift hydrogen production, efficiently removing CO 2 becomes a key link to improve the purity of hydrogen and reduce energy consumption.

[0004] Related patents such as 201520751715.0 and 202010842134.3 optimized the CO 2 capture and regeneration system, which is applicable to the decarbonization of high-acid natural gas or syngas with an acid gas content of up to 35%, and can make the carbon content in the purified gas lower than 2.5%. In these patents, the absorber adopts a traditional packing structure, and the mass transfer efficiency is low, resulting in low production efficiency. 202111280468.7 optimized the carbon capture system, divided the semi-lean solution into two paths, which were respectively used for regeneration and pre-absorption, so as to realize the recycling of amine liquid and reduce the energy consumption. However, these technologies still have not broken through the mass transfer limitation of the absorption device. 202111169736.8 realized synchronous desulfurization and decarbonization, and utilized liquid CO 2Evaporation and desorption are used as a cold source to cool each step in the syngas decarbonization process, saving cooling energy. Although the above patents have made innovations or optimizations in the syngas decarbonization system, a traditional packed tower is still used as the absorption tower, which not only increases the investment cost but also has low mass transfer efficiency.

[0005] From the perspective of mass transfer, increasing the turbulence degree of the flow field and improving the dispersion degree of the liquid phase are both beneficial to increasing the mass transfer area and improving the mass transfer efficiency. The plate column extends the contact time by increasing the number of plates to strengthen the mass transfer process. However, the increase in mass transfer efficiency is limited, the device volume will also increase accordingly, and the liquid phase dispersion and the turbulence degree of the flow field are low, making it difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the order of magnitude of mass transfer efficiency. Similar problems also exist in the packed tower. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method and device for desulfurization and decarbonization of syngas to solve the above problems.

Moreover, compared with a rotating packing tower, the process is simple and the energy consumption is reduced, which is suitable for the construction of new equipment. It solves the problem of low mass transfer efficiency existing in the existing desulfurization and decarbonization methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Table 3 shows the properties of the syngas before purification For the above syngas with a flow rate of 100 m 3 / h and a pressure of 6.4 MPa, it passes through the swirl dust removal tower 1 to remove solid particles in the gas, and enters the swirl absorption tower 2 together with the lean amine liquid (at 16 m 3 / h and a temperature of 45 °C) from the swirl regeneration tower 3. The syngas entering the swirl absorber 2 through the tangential inlet shears the lean amine liquid entering the swirl absorber 2 through the radial inlet. The gas phase and the liquid phase form a swirling turbulent field in the swirl absorber 2 of the swirl absorber 102. The droplet size distribution range of the liquid droplets after gas phase shearing is 400 - 800 μm (detected by a laser particle size analyzer). Gas-liquid mass transfer occurs in the swirling turbulent field, and the absorption liquid desulfurization and decarbonization reaction occurs. The CO 2 content of the purified syngas is 0.45%, and the H 2 S content is 4.2 mg / m 3 . The purified syngas enters the dehydration unit 6 with an in-built wire mesh separator from the top of the tower and is collected after dehydration. The rich amine liquid flows out from the bottom of the swirl absorption tower 2, enters the flash tank 7 for flashing, and the flash gas enters the igniter 8 for ignition and combustion.

Using saturated steam as the heat source, the rich amine liquid is heated in the reboiler 11 and discharged from the bottom outlet of the reboiler 11 and sent back to the spin spray regeneration tower 3. The lean amine liquid after being resolved in the spin spray regeneration tower 3 flows out from the middle and lower part, enters the heat exchanger 9 to cool down, realizing the recycling of the amine liquid. Example 2

[0036] The syngas desulfurization and decarbonization device uses the spin spray dust removal tower 1, the spin spray absorption tower 2 and the spin spray regeneration tower 3 with the spin sprayer 102 in a two-stage series connection. The spray hole diameter is 1.5 mm, and the number of spray holes is 80 (8 layers * 10 holes / layer). The gas-liquid ratio of the syngas to the amine liquid is 6 - 10.

The dehydration unit 6 uses a wire mesh separator, and the filter 4 uses a centrifugal filter.

[0037]

[0038] Table 4 shows the properties of the syngas before purification For the above-mentioned syngas, with a flow rate of 100 m 3 / h and a pressure of 6.7 MPa, the solid particles in the gas are removed through the spin spray dust removal tower 1, and the lean amine liquid from the spin spray regeneration tower 3 (at 50 m 3 / h and a temperature of 45 °C) is input into the spin spray absorption tower 2. The syngas entering the spin sprayer 102 of the spin spray absorption tower 2 tangentially shears the lean amine liquid entering the spin sprayer 102 of the spin spray absorption tower 2 radially, and a swirling turbulent field is formed between the gas phase and the liquid phase in the spin sprayer 102 of the spin spray absorption tower 2. The droplet size distribution range of the liquid droplets after gas-phase shearing is 500 - 1000 μm, and gas-liquid mass transfer occurs in the swirling turbulent field, and the absorption liquid desulfurization and decarbonization reaction takes place. The CO 2 content of the purified syngas is 0.4%, and the H 2 S content is 4.8 mg / m 3 . The purified syngas enters the dehydration unit 6 with a built-in wire mesh separator from the top of the tower and is collected after dehydration. The rich amine liquid flows out from the bottom of the spin spray absorption tower 2, enters the flash tank 7 for flashing, and the flash gas enters the igniter 8 for ignition and combustion. The rich amine liquid flowing out from the liquid-phase outlet of the flash tank 7 passes through the heat exchanger 9, is heated after heat exchange with the regenerated lean amine liquid, and enters the upper-middle inlet of the spin spray regeneration tower 3.

[0040] In the device and method for desulfurization and decarbonization of the synthesis gas, the amine liquid is broken into micron-sized droplets in the spin spray absorption tower 2. By adopting a swirl turbulent flow field coupling gas-phase swirl and liquid-phase jet, a micron-scale droplet dispersion system is constructed, greatly increasing the phase boundary area of the liquid, doubling the mass transfer area, and effectively improving the absorption of CO 2 and H 2 S in the synthesis gas, effectively improving the mass transfer efficiency. At the same time, a swirl turbulent flow field is generated in the synthesis gas, increasing the turbulence degree of the gas phase and the liquid phase. By combining the self-rotation and revolution movements of the droplets, the gas-liquid contact time is extended, further improving the mass transfer efficiency. The spin sprayer 102 can not only replace the conventional trays and packings, greatly reducing the volume of the tower equipment while doubling the mass transfer area. The tower volume is reduced by about 40%, and it can be flexibly applied to the new construction of relevant enterprise devices and the renovation projects of old devices. Moreover, compared with the rotating packing tower, the process is simple and the energy consumption is reduced, which is suitable for the construction of new equipment. It solves the problem of low mass transfer efficiency existing in the existing desulfurization and decarbonization methods.
