Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a gas photocatalytic reactor, a reaction system and a method, belonging to the technical fields of energy and chemical engineering. Background Art

[0002] Currently, except for the technologies of enhanced oil recovery in oilfields and carbon dioxide capture from flue gas in coal-fired power plants that have achieved a certain degree of industrialization, carbon dioxide sequestration is in the demonstration stage in China, and most carbon dioxide conversion and utilization technologies are in the laboratory research stage with the lowest industrial maturity. The main reason is that the carbon-oxygen double bond of carbon dioxide has high chemical stability, and a very high energy is required to break the bond energy for conversion. Therefore, in carbon dioxide conversion technologies, using catalysts to reduce the potential energy required for the reaction is one of the main research directions. Photocatalysis is a catalytic conversion reaction technology driven by sunlight. For example, in the process of converting carbon dioxide and water, low-density and intermittent solar energy is converted into high-density and storable clean energy or chemicals, providing a feasible solution for optimizing and transforming the energy consumption structure.

[0003] Currently, the key to promoting the application of light-driven catalytic conversion technology is to improve the conversion efficiency of solar energy. The efficiency of light-driven catalytic reactions is closely related to the light absorption efficiency of the catalyst, the separation efficiency of hole-electron pairs, and the catalytic reaction efficiency. Therefore, to improve the reaction efficiency of photocatalysis, it is very important to design a solar light reaction device with high light utilization rate and high mass transfer efficiency. Currently, the photocatalytic reaction devices on the market can be divided into flat plate type, shallow pool type, tubular and ring type reaction devices according to their structures and shapes, but most of them have key problems such as poor light collection effect, low mass transfer efficiency of reactants on the catalyst surface, internal condensation leading to reduced reaction rate and light scattering, etc. It is necessary to design the reaction surface inside the reaction device and optimize the light path to improve the light utilization rate. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the incident light reaches a certain temperature on the catalytic reaction surface to increase the reaction rate and mass transfer efficiency and avoid the occurrence of condensation on the light path.

[0010] In the gas photocatalytic reaction system described above, preferably, it further includes a buffer tank pressure regulating valve. The inlet of the buffer tank pressure regulating valve is connected to the liquid phase outlet of the compressor buffer tank, and the outlet of the buffer tank pressure regulating valve is connected to the water inlet pipeline.

[0011] In the described gas photocatalytic reaction system, preferably, a temperature measuring device is provided on the pipeline connecting the outlet of the static mixer to the inlet of the reactor body, and the temperature measuring device is used to control the opening or closing of the electric heating of the static mixer according to the measured temperature.

[0012] In the described gas photocatalytic reaction system, preferably, it further includes a check valve. The liquid phase outlet of the reaction gas separation tank is connected to the inlet of the check valve, and the outlet of the check valve is connected to the water inlet pipeline.

[0013] In the described gas photocatalytic reaction system, preferably, a buffer tank safety valve is further provided on the compressor buffer tank.

[0014] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for using a gas photocatalytic reaction system, including the following steps: The mixed gas to be reacted flows from the static mixer into the reactor body to undergo a photocatalytic reaction to generate product gas. The product gas flows out from the outlet of the reactor body and enters the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the cold fluid in the heat exchanger. The product gas after cooling is separated by the reaction gas separation tank to separate out part of the condensed liquid water, and the liquid water is recycled to the cold end inlet of the heat exchanger; The product gas from which part of the condensed water has been separated is pressurized by the gas compressor and used as the hot fluid of the reaction gas cooler to exchange heat with the cold fluid gas.

[0022] Currently, the key to promoting the application of the light-driven catalytic conversion technology is to improve the conversion efficiency of solar energy. The efficiency of the light-driven catalytic reaction is closely related to the light absorption efficiency of the catalyst, the separation efficiency of the hole-electron pairs and the catalytic reaction efficiency. Therefore, in order to improve the reaction efficiency of photocatalysis, it is very important to design a solar reaction device with high light utilization rate and high mass transfer efficiency. The current photocatalytic reaction devices on the market can be divided into flat plate type, shallow pool type, tubular and annular reaction devices according to their structures and shapes, but most of them have key problems such as poor light concentration effect, low mass transfer efficiency of the reactants on the catalyst surface, reduction of the reaction rate caused by internal condensation and light scattering, etc. It is necessary to design the reaction surface in the reaction device and optimize the light path to improve the light utilization rate. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the incident light reaches a certain temperature on the catalytic reaction surface to increase the reaction rate and mass transfer efficiency and avoid the occurrence of condensation on the light path.

[0023] Based on the above technical problems, the present invention provides a gas photocatalytic reactor. The reactor with a bowl-shaped design has a light-transmitting wall surface, which can ensure that the light source can penetrate the reactor and enter its interior to provide the energy required for the photocatalytic reaction. Through computational fluid dynamics verification and optimization, the flow characteristics of the gas inside the reactor are obtained.

[0024] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the gas photocatalytic reactor involved in the present invention includes: a reactor body 1, the reactor body 1 is a bowl-shaped structure with a closed perimeter and a cavity inside. A catalyst disk 101 is arranged in the cavity. The catalyst disk 101 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the reactor body 1 through a disk support column 104. The bottom of the reactor body 1 is an arc-shaped bottom 105 that bulges towards the top of the reactor body 1. A gas inlet 102 and a gas outlet 103 are also provided on the reactor body 1. The central axis of the pipeline of the gas inlet 102 is at the same height as the thickness midline of the catalyst disk 101. The wall surface of the reactor body 1 is made of a light-transmitting material. Photocatalysts are attached to both sides of the catalyst disk 101. The catalyst disk 101 is located at the position of the convex vertex at the bottom of the reactor body 1 and is fixed by the disk support column 104. The gas outlet 103 is arranged below the vertex of the convex bottom 105. The design of the cavity can effectively reduce the velocity of the reaction gas in the inlet pipeline and disperse the reaction gas on both sides of the catalyst disk 101. The cavity curved surface can project incident light at different angles and then reflect it onto the catalyst disk 101, improving the light utilization efficiency. The gas photocatalytic reactor of the present invention internally includes a circular flat plate with catalysts attached to both the front and back sides, and a curved cavity. The design of the cavity can effectively reduce the velocity of the reaction gas in the inlet pipeline and disperse the reaction gas on both sides of the catalyst flat plate. The cavity curved surface can project incident light at different angles and then reflect it onto the catalyst flat plate, improving the light utilization efficiency.

[0025] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the uniformly mixed reaction gas enters the cavity of the reactor from the gas inlet 102. The center line of the inlet pipeline coincides with the midline of the height of the catalyst disk 101. The reaction gas is dispersed on both sides of the catalyst disk 101 attached with catalysts. The light source can be incident into the reactor from different angles. The light source is a yellow straight line with an arrow, and the arrow direction represents the incident direction of the light source. The straight line with a red arrow represents the transmitted light. After entering the reactor, a part of it directly irradiates on the catalyst disk 101; another part, due to the reflection effect of the cavity curved surface of the device, reflects the transmitted light and then irradiates on the catalyst disk 101. The reflected light is represented by a straight line with a green arrow. The light irradiating on the catalyst surface can be absorbed by the plasmon light-absorbing unit of the catalyst, and the energy is transmitted to the catalytically active metal atomic sites. The reaction gas undergoes corresponding catalytic reactions at the catalytic sites to generate reaction products. Under the dual thermal effects of the light source and the reaction, the reaction products need to be gaseous; otherwise, it will affect the propagation of light in the reactor and reduce the light use efficiency. The reaction gas products and the unreacted reaction gas flow out of the photocatalytic reactor from the gas outlet 103.

[0026] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the gas photocatalytic reactor is verified by means of computational fluid dynamics simulation, with a uniform mixed gas of carbon dioxide and water vapor, the molar ratio is 1:1, at 200°C and 1 atmosphere, and the flow trajectory of the mixed gas in the photocatalytic reactor. The simulation results show that the gas in the photocatalytic reactor is evenly distributed on both sides of the catalytic disc 101. Since the position of the gas outlet 103 is far away from the gas inlet 102, there is no obvious path connecting the gas inlet 102 and the gas outlet 103. This design can improve the gas mass transfer efficiency and reaction conversion rate.

[0027] The gas photocatalytic reaction system can produce methane by photocatalytic reaction of carbon dioxide and water vapor. The chemical reaction equation is as follows: .

[0028] The gas photocatalytic reactor involved in the present invention is used for catalytic reaction of gas in the reactor under the action of light, and a special bowl-shaped reactor with an arc bottom is designed. The light source is incident into the reactor at different angles, and is reflected by the curved wall and the arc bottom, which can improve the efficiency of light use. Due to the special arc bottom design, it is beneficial for the gas to be reacted to be transferred to the catalyst surface, thereby achieving the effect of optimizing mass transfer and improving the reaction rate.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a carbon dioxide and water vapor photocatalytic methane production system including a gas photocatalytic reactor, the system including: a reactor body 1, a light source generator 2, a heat exchanger 3, a reaction gas liquid separation tank 4, a reaction gas cooler 5, a gas compressor 6, a compressor buffer tank 7, a membrane separation device 8, a static mixer 9, etc.

[0030] Specifically, the water inlet pipeline is respectively connected to the outlet of the buffer tank pressure regulating valve 10, the cold-end inlet of the heat exchanger 3, and the outlet of the check valve 13; the cold-end outlet of the heat exchanger 3 is connected to the inlet of the static mixer 9 with electric heating; the outlet of the static mixer 9 is connected to the inlet of the reactor body 1, and a temperature measuring device 12 is connected to this pipeline to control the opening or closing of the electric heating of the static mixer 9 according to the measured temperature; the light source generator 2 is placed near the reactor body 1, and the position of the light source generator 2 is adjusted according to the light intensity; the outlet of the reactor body 1 is connected to the hot-end inlet of the heat exchanger 3; the hot-end outlet of the heat exchanger 3 is connected to the inlet of the reaction gas separation tank 4; the liquid-phase outlet of the reaction gas separation tank 4 is connected to the inlet of the check valve 13; the gas-phase outlet of the reaction gas separation tank 4 is connected to the inlet of the gas compressor 6; the outlet of the gas compressor 6 is connected to the hot-end inlet of the reaction gas cooler 5; the hot-end outlet of the reaction gas cooler 5 is connected to the inlet of the compressor buffer tank 7; the liquid-phase outlet of the compressor buffer tank 7 is connected to the inlet of the buffer tank pressure regulating valve 10; the gas-phase outlet of the compressor buffer tank 7 is connected to the inlet of the membrane separation device 8; the top of the compressor buffer tank 7 is connected to the inlet of the buffer tank safety valve 11; the outlet of the buffer tank safety valve 11 is connected to the atmosphere; the permeate-end outlet of the membrane separation device 8 is connected to the carbon dioxide gas source and the cold-end inlet of the reaction gas cooler 5; the retentate-end outlet of the membrane separation device 8 is the gas product; the cold-end outlet of the reaction gas cooler 5 is connected to the other inlet of the static mixer 9.

[0031] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the present invention also provides the working process of the carbon dioxide and water vapor photocatalytic methane production system, and the specific process is as follows: The uniformly mixed carbon dioxide and water vapor flow into the reactor body 1 from the static mixer 9. Under the action of the light generated by the light source generator 2, a photocatalytic reaction occurs on the surface of the catalyst in the reactor body 1, converting into gaseous methane and oxygen. The produced methane and oxygen are mixed with the unreacted carbon dioxide and water vapor, and are heated under the thermal effect of light, flowing out from the gas outlet 102 of the reactor body 1, serving as the hot fluid of the heat exchanger 3 to heat the cold fluid (i.e., the water additionally supplemented to the system). The cooled product gas passes through the reaction gas liquid separation tank 4 to separate out part of the condensed liquid water. The condensed water circulates to the cold end inlet of the heat exchanger 3 through the check valve 13. The product gas from which part of the condensed water has been separated is pressurized by the gas compressor 6 and serves as the hot fluid of the reaction gas cooler 5 to exchange heat with the cold fluid carbon dioxide. The cooled product gas enters the compressor buffer tank 7 to further separate the condensed liquid water. The condensed water is depressurized by the buffer tank pressure regulating valve 10 and then circulates to the cold end inlet of the heat exchanger 3. The compressed product gas is processed by the membrane separation device 8 to separate carbon dioxide to the membrane permeation end at atmospheric pressure. After being mixed with the supplemented carbon dioxide gas, it is preheated as the cold fluid in the reaction gas cooler 5. The compressed product gas flows out from the outlet of the retention end of the membrane separation device 8, and its main components are methane and oxygen. The compressed product gas of methane and oxygen can be directly used as the fuel gas for oxy-fuel combustion. The carbon dioxide gas and water vapor entering the static mixer 9 are heated by the electric heating wire and processed by the static mixer 9 to form uniformly mixed carbon dioxide and water vapor, that is, the mixed gas to be reacted. The temperature measuring device 12 instantaneously records the temperature of the mixed gas and ensures that the mixed fluid is in a gaseous state according to the temperature. When the temperature is less than or equal to the dew point of the mixed gas, the electric heating system in the static mixer 9 is started. When the temperature of the mixed gas is more than 10 degrees above the dew point, the electric heating system in the static mixer 9 is turned off.

[0032] Based on safety considerations, a buffer tank safety valve 11 is designed for the compressor buffer tank 7. When an abnormal situation of excessive pressure occurs, the buffer tank safety valve 11 opens and alarms. In addition, a check valve 13 is set at the liquid phase outlet of the reaction gas liquid separation tank 4 to ensure the flow direction of the condensed water and the supplemented water, and to prevent the unreacted liquid water from directly flowing into the reaction gas liquid separation tank 4.

[0033] The design of the gas photocatalytic reactor and reaction system of the present invention is original. Based on the design of a bowl-shaped reactor with a convex bottom, after the light source penetrates the reactor wall, the light entering the reactor can be reflected by the curved wall to the surface of the catalyst disk, improving the light utilization efficiency. Catalysts required for the reaction are attached to both sides of the disk, and the gas to be reacted can more conveniently flow through the surface of the disk by virtue of the convex bottom design, thereby optimizing mass transfer and reaction conversion rate. Based on the gas photocatalytic reactor, the present invention designs a system for photocatalytic production of methane from carbon dioxide and water vapor. While optimizing the thermal efficiency, it incorporates a carbon dioxide membrane separation device and a condensate water circulation design, saving the usage amount of reactants. The gas products are compressed methane and oxygen, which can be directly used for oxy-fuel combustion of methane.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
