Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for producing methanol from biomass raw materials, belonging to the technical field of methanol production. Background Art

[0002] Bioenergy is an important renewable energy source, featuring characteristics such as green, low-carbon, clean, and renewable. Using syngas obtained from biomass gasification as raw materials to prepare chemicals such as methanol and olefins can not only achieve the high-value conversion of biomass but also increase the green attributes of products, ultimately realizing the green and low-carbon transformation of the entire industrial chain.

[0003] The biogas obtained from the anaerobic fermentation of biomass is generally used to separate methane for sale as biomethane or for biomass gas power generation. These utilization methods inevitably emit gases such as methane or a large amount of carbon dioxide. Converting biogas into methanol, which is convenient for storage and transportation, is a possible idea for the efficient utilization of biomass energy. Methanol is the basic central product of C1 chemistry. Among the basic organic chemical raw materials, methanol consumption ranks only after ethylene, propylene, and benzene, and it is an important bulk chemical product. The downstream applications of methanol are very extensive. In recent years, as an environmentally friendly energy source, fuel, and hydrogen energy storage and transportation carrier, it has also received favor at home and abroad. In contemporary society, methanol is a chemical product with high added value and has great development potential. It is very necessary to convert as much green carbon in biogas into green methanol while minimizing carbon dioxide emissions during the production process.

[0004] CN116789520A provides a method for producing methanol from skid-mounted self-sufficient biogas, but the energy source for its reforming reaction mainly comes from burning a part of the biogas in the combustion chamber of the combustion furnace, which not only wastes the green carbon source but also causes unnecessary additional carbon dioxide emissions.

[0005] CN111547678A provides a method for thermally catalytically producing methanol from the whole components of biogas, but its reforming reaction requires the mixing of biogas and water vapor for dry and wet dual reforming, which will inevitably reduce the carbon conversion rate in biogas. At the same time, the heat exchange and separation system of this technology is relatively complex, increasing the overall production cost.

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing methanol production technology from biomass raw materials, it is necessary to develop a new process for producing methanol from biomass raw materials to simplify the methanol production process, efficiently convert the green carbon in biomass raw materials, and at the same time not produce additional carbon dioxide emissions.
