Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of methane reforming and resource recycling, and in particular to a resource recycling system of solar-driven methane reforming coupled with waste salt pyrolysis. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy has the advantages of being clean, zero carbon, and having a high combustion calorific value. 2 It shows broad application prospects and potential in emission reduction and energy structure transformation. As the main component of natural gas, methane can be used to produce hydrogen on a large scale through reforming reaction, and its large-scale application has significant carbon reduction effect. Based on the strong endothermic characteristics of methane reforming reaction, solar-driven methane reforming can absorb solar thermal energy equivalent to up to 23% of the high calorific value of methane, and store and utilize solar energy in the form of chemical energy, achieving the beneficial effects of simultaneously increasing the proportion of solar energy in hydrogen energy and reducing carbon emissions from hydrogen production. Therefore, solar-driven natural gas reforming hydrogen production technology is expected to play an important role in the near and medium term. However, the combination of methane reforming and solar concentrating and collecting technology produces a reaction temperature of up to 800°C, resulting in high radiation heat loss and convection heat loss.

[0003] Industrial waste salt is mainly produced in industrial production processes such as pesticide intermediates, drug synthesis and printing and dyeing, as well as solid-liquid separation, solution concentration crystallization and sewage treatment. It has the characteristics of many types, complex composition, wide sources, high content of toxic and harmful substances, and great environmental harm. Based on the low stability of organic pollutants in waste salt at high temperature, thermal treatment is a common method to effectively remove organic pollutants in waste salt. Traditional industrial waste salt treatment and disposal technology consumes a lot of energy. The high-temperature heat generated by combining methane reforming with solar energy concentration and collection technology is coupled to the waste salt treatment process, which is expected to solve the challenges of high energy waste and high carbon emissions. After high-temperature pyrolysis treatment, the rich product salt can be used as molten salt heat storage material, and the organic pollutants react to generate some carbon materials as additives, which can simultaneously solve the problems of high-value synthesis gas generation, waste treatment and low-cost development of molten salt heat storage materials.
