It is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
[0052] The order in which the embodiments are described below is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Furthermore, in the description of this application, the term "comprising" means "including but not limited to". Various embodiments of the invention may exist in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a rigid limitation on the scope of the invention; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values within that range. For example, it should be considered that the range description from 1 to 6 has specifically disclosed sub-ranges, such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., and single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, regardless of the range. Additionally, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the indicated range.
[0053] This application provides a method for preparing high-value combustible gas, including the following steps:
[0054] S1. Under negative pressure conditions, the straw is heated, dehydrated, and lightly carbonized using an electromagnetic induction heating device to obtain primary charcoal.
[0055] S2. After the primary carbon is extruded into shape, it is placed in a microwave pyrolysis device for pyrolysis to release pyrolysis gas and obtain secondary carbon.
[0056] S3. The pyrolysis gas is introduced into an electromagnetic induction heating device for deep pyrolysis and converted into combustible gas.
[0057] The method for preparing high-value combustible gas of the present invention combines electromagnetic induction heating and microwave heating technologies. Specifically, it includes three stages. In the first stage, after negative pressure electromagnetic induction heating, the slightly carbonized straw is squeezed into rods. In the second stage, microwave technology is used to pyrolyze the rod-shaped charcoal. Finally, in the third stage, the generated volatiles are subjected to electromagnetic induction high-temperature deep pyrolysis, thereby improving the calorific value and cleanliness of the combustible gas, while reducing tar formation. High-quality combustible gas is obtained based on multi-stage fine control.
[0058] Specifically, the straw is heated and dehydrated under negative pressure using an electromagnetic induction heating device. Due to the negative pressure environment, the efficiency of dehydration and volatile matter release can be effectively improved. The lightly carbonized char (primary char) obtained above is extruded into rods or other desired shapes in an extrusion device to obtain a more uniform internal temperature distribution during subsequent microwave heating. The forming process can be optimized and adjusted according to parameters such as the length and density of the rod char. After the primary char is extruded and formed, it is transported to a microwave pyrolysis device. The microwave device uniformly heats the charcoal within a set temperature range (e.g., 400℃~800℃), causing its internal temperature to rise rapidly and volatiles to be generated. This process yields secondary charcoal and pyrolysis gas containing tar, condensable organic matter, etc. The pyrolysis gas is then introduced into an electromagnetic induction heating device for deep pyrolysis at higher temperatures (e.g., 600℃~800℃), converting large-molecule tar or other organic components into small-molecule combustible gases (CO, H2, CH4, etc.). After cooling, dust removal, and necessary purification, the combustible gas produced after pyrolysis can be used for gas-fired power generation, industrial heating, or other gas-consuming systems.
[0059] The method for preparing high-value combustible gas of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0060] Segmented and refined control: The straw processing is divided into three main steps: electromagnetic induction dehydration and light carbonization, extrusion into rods followed by microwave pyrolysis, and electromagnetic induction deep pyrolysis. This allows for optimal control of the physical and chemical properties at different stages.
[0061] The molding process improves the pyrolysis effect: extruding the primary carbon before microwave heating is beneficial to the uniformity of heating in the microwave field and reduces local overheating or underheating.
[0062] High-efficiency heating mode: Combining electromagnetic induction and microwave heating to achieve rapid and uniform heating, avoiding the problem of low efficiency of traditional external heating;
[0063] Negative pressure operation: The first stage of negative pressure environment helps to quickly dehydrate and reduce oxygen content, enhance safety and reduce the generation of by-products;
[0064] High-quality combustible gas: The third-stage deep pyrolysis significantly reduces tar content and increases the proportion and calorific value of small molecular components in combustible gas.
[0065] In some embodiments, a magnetic induction heating device is used to heat the straw to 200-300°C and maintain it under a negative pressure environment of -0.005MPa to -0.08MPa for 10-50 minutes to heat, dehydrate, and lightly carbonize the straw, obtaining primary charcoal. The magnetic induction heating device has a power of 10-30kW, a frequency of 40-100kHz, and a current of 10-30A. Specifically, the crushed straw (particle size of about 5-10mm) is heated to 200-300°C under a negative pressure environment of -0.005MPa to -0.08MPa by turning on the electromagnetic induction coil. During this process, most of the moisture and some low-boiling-point organic components are removed, obtaining pre-carbonized charcoal (primary charcoal).
[0066] In some embodiments, primary char is fed into an extruder and subjected to appropriate pressure, such as 5–20 MPa, to be extruded into rods or blocks. The diameter of the rods or blocks can be in the range of 10–30 mm, and the length can be matched according to the size of the subsequent microwave device. The rod-shaped char is more easily heated uniformly in the microwave field. The extruded primary char is placed in a microwave pyrolysis device and pyrolyzed at 400–800°C for 2–10 min. The microwave power of the microwave pyrolysis device is 3–10 kW, and the microwave frequency is 2000–3000 MHz. Pyrolysis gas is released, and secondary char is obtained. During the microwave pyrolysis process, the moisture and tar components inside the char rapidly volatilize and are drawn out to the separation unit, forming secondary char and pyrolysis gas. The pyrolysis gas released in this stage contains tar droplets, light organic matter, etc., which need to be further cracked or purified in the third stage. Specifically, the pyrolysis gas contains condensable components (tar) and non-condensable components. The condensable components, after being collected by a condenser, become tar. The non-condensable components in the pyrolysis gas are introduced into an electromagnetic induction heating device for pyrolysis to obtain combustible gas. In some embodiments, the pyrolysis gas is introduced into the electromagnetic induction heating device and pyrolyzed at 600–800°C for 5–20 minutes, converting it into combustible gas. The pyrolysis gas and any tar components it may carry are introduced into the electromagnetic induction heating device and pyrolyzed at a high temperature of 600–800°C. At this high temperature, large organic molecules are further pyrolyzed to generate small-molecule combustible gas, the main components of which include CO, H2, CH4, etc. The combustible gas is then purified through cooling, dust removal, or deacidification to meet the quality requirements for direct use.
[0067] In some embodiments, the obtained combustible gas is further subjected to cooling, dust removal, and / or deacidification treatment.
[0068] In some embodiments, straw includes corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw, sorghum straw, etc.
[0069] This invention, through a three-stage process combined with an extrusion molding step, can produce combustible gas with high calorific value and low tar content, reaching 15–25 MJ / Nm³. 3Or even higher; compared with traditional single-stage pyrolysis or direct gasification, the process of this invention effectively improves gas production efficiency and reduces the generation of tar by-products.
[0070] Specifically, the calorific value of combustible gas refers to the calorific value per unit volume (usually in standard cubic meters, i.e., Nm³). 3 The heat released when a combustible gas is completely burned.
