Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultra-low concentration gas treatment, and in particular to a catalytic oxidation system and method for exhaust air based on green electricity heat supplementation coupled with molten salt heat storage. Background Art
[0002] Coal mine ventilation air is a low-concentration methane mixture emitted during mine ventilation, typically containing 0.1% to 1.0% methane. Because methane has a global warming potential (GWP) 25 times that of CO2, direct emissions can exacerbate climate change. However, traditional thermal combustion technologies for treating low-concentration methane require additional fuel (such as natural gas), resulting in high energy consumption and poor economic efficiency. Direct emission or flaring of this gas wastes energy and pollutes the environment. Safely and reliably treating ventilation air is a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the invention

The electric heater is located in the molten salt heat storage tank and is used to heat the molten salt. The solar panel is used to power the electric heater, and the molten salt heat storage tank is connected to the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the catalytic oxidation unit is a catalytic oxidation chamber, which is divided into an oxidation section, a heat exchange section and a flue section according to the flow direction of the exhausted air. The oxidation section is connected to the exhausted air pipeline and is used for the catalytic oxidation of the exhausted air; the heat exchange section is used for absorbing the heat of catalytic oxidation, and is filled with alumina balls inside. The alumina balls are divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The upper and lower layers have a diameter of 5 mm, and the middle layer has a diameter of 3 mm; the flue section is divided into a honeycomb layer, a fiber felt and a filter layer according to the flue gas flow direction.

[0016] In the second aspect, the present invention also proposes a method for catalytic oxidation of exhausted air based on green electricity heat supplement coupled with molten salt heat storage, which adopts the above-mentioned system for catalytic oxidation of exhausted air based on green electricity heat supplement coupled with molten salt heat storage. The method includes the following steps:
[0017] Step S1: When the system is cold-started, the solar panel is used to generate electricity. The generated electric energy acts on the electric heater through the electric control cabinet to heat the molten salt heat storage tank, so that the temperature of the molten salt gradually rises. The molten salt flows into the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger to preheat the exhausted air entering the catalytic oxidation chamber through the exhausted air pipeline; when the exhausted air is preheated to 450 °C, the catalyst in the oxidation section reacts with methane in the exhausted air for catalytic oxidation reaction, and the electric heater stops heating;
[0018] Step S2: The high-temperature flue gas generated by the catalytic oxidation reaction conducts heat to the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger and the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger in the flue gas pipeline; the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger preheats the incoming exhausted air to 250 °C, and then preheats it to 450 °C through the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger, and then sends it into the catalytic oxidation chamber for catalytic oxidation reaction, and the system enters the self-sustaining operation state;
[0019] Step S3: When the temperature of the generated flue gas > 550 °C, start the heat extraction unit, and send water into the heat exchange tubes buried in the catalytic oxidation chamber through the feed water pump for heat exchange, and output hot water or steam for heating or power generation;
[0020] Step S4: When the temperature of the generated flue gas < 550 °C, turn off the heat extraction unit, and the heat of the high-temperature flue gas is used to heat the heat-conducting oil and molten salt in the flue gas pipeline to maintain the temperature of the working medium in the two-stage regenerative heat exchange unit, so that the temperature of the molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger remains at 500 °C, and the temperature of the heat-conducting oil in the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger remains at 300 °C;
[0021] Step S5: When the temperature of the molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger is lower than 500 °C, turn on the electric heater for heating, and pump the high-temperature molten salt in the molten salt heat storage tank into the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger for supplementary heating.
[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S4, when the flue gas temperature is less than 100 degrees at the outlet, open the smoke baffle to let the flue gas flow out; otherwise, close the smoke baffle to make it stay in the flue gas channel temporarily, and continue to exchange heat with the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger and the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger.
[0023] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S5, when the temperature of the molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger is lower than 500 °C, during the day, the electric heater is powered by the solar panel; at night, it is heated by the off-peak electricity.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:
[0025] (1) When the system is cold-started, the solar panel generates electricity, heats the molten salt in the molten salt heat storage tank through the electric heater, and then heats the exhausted air entering the exhausted air pipeline. When the temperature condition is met, a catalytic oxidation reaction is carried out in the catalytic oxidation chamber, releasing a large amount of heat energy. The generated high-temperature flue gas heats the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger and the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger, and the two heat exchangers preheat and heat the exhausted air in the exhausted air pipeline to achieve countercurrent heat exchange; when the exhausted air reaches a certain temperature, it is sent into the catalytic oxidation chamber for reaction, so as to achieve self-sustaining operation without the supplement of fossil fuels, so as to continuously treat ultra-low-concentration gas (exhausted air), prevent it from flowing into the atmosphere, and achieve low-cost operation;
[0026] (2) The catalytic oxidation chamber of the present invention can effectively improve the oxidation stability and catalytic conversion efficiency, and reduce pollutant emissions; it adopts a gradient functional partition, that is, the catalytic oxidation chamber is divided into an oxidation section, a heat exchange section and a flue gas section. A rectifying layer of 60 ppi foam ceramics is arranged in the oxidation section, which can make the air flow distribution uniform and prevent backfire; an oxidation layer of 40 ppi foam ceramics is arranged to deeply oxidize the exhausted air. The above arrangement structure with variable pore density can effectively improve the stability of oxidation propagation; in the heat exchange section, a filling structure of large diameter, medium diameter and large diameter is adopted according to the air flow direction, which can reduce the inlet pressure drop at the inlet of the heat exchange section of the flue gas, and is beneficial to enhancing turbulence in the middle layer, thereby strengthening heat exchange; the flue is divided into a honeycomb layer, a fiber felt layer and a filter layer. The honeycomb layer is filled with 300 cpsi honeycomb ceramics and the surface is loaded with a catalyst to forcibly form Taylor-Couette flow, generate a high shear rate, break the flue gas boundary layer, and force unoxidized methane molecules to migrate to the catalyst surface to oxidize the residual methane; the fiber felt layer is filled with zirconia fiber felt, and the three-dimensional network structure induces Karman vortex streets, significantly enhancing the gas-solid mass transfer efficiency and reducing CO emissions; the filter layer is filled with foam ceramics with variable pore diameters to intercept dust particles and can achieve self-cleaning;
[0027] (3) When the temperature of the flue gas generated by catalytic oxidation is greater than 550 degrees, the heat extraction unit can heat the heat exchange tubes arranged in the catalytic oxidation chamber to output hot water or steam for industrial production or domestic services;
[0028] (4) When the molten salt of the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger is lower than 500 degrees, during the day, solar power is used to act on the electric heater to supplement heat to the molten salt, and at night, off-peak electricity is used to act on the electric heater to supplement heat to the molten salt, operating in a green power supply mode, so that the entire catalytic oxidation system operates in a low-cost manner and realizes continuous treatment of the exhausted air.

Specifically, the surface of the alumina small balls is plasma sprayed with a Cr2O3-SiO2 composite layer to strengthen the radiative heat exchange. At the same time, the surface is hydrophobically modified with fluorosilane to enhance the anti-fouling property.

[0043] The green power - molten salt heat supplement unit includes solar panels, an inverter, an electric heater, an electric control cabinet, and a molten salt heat storage tank. The solar panels cooperate with the inverter to generate alternating current, which is supplied to the electric heater through the electric control cabinet. The electric heater is located in the molten salt heat storage tank; the molten salt heat storage tank is connected to a high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger. The control cabinet can access the low-valley electricity at night and perform intelligent switching between solar power generation and low-valley electricity.
[0044] This system is also provided with a controller and a temperature monitoring unit. The controller is connected to the temperature monitoring unit, the two-stage regenerative heat exchange unit, the catalytic oxidation chamber, the heat extraction unit, and the green power - molten salt heat supplement unit.

For example, preheating temperature sensors and heating temperature sensors are arranged in the exhausted air pipeline, temperature sensors are set at the inlet and outlet of the flue gas pipeline, and flue gas temperature sensors are arranged in the catalytic oxidation chamber. The above sensors form a temperature monitoring network to provide node temperature information for system control.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 3, the present invention also provides a method for catalytic oxidation of exhausted air based on green electricity supplemented heat coupled with molten salt thermal energy storage, comprising the following steps:
[0046] Step S1: When the system is cold-started, exhausted air is introduced into the catalytic oxidation chamber through the exhausted air pipeline. Solar panels are used to generate electricity, and the generated electric energy acts on the electric heater through the electric control cabinet to heat the molten salt heat storage tank, gradually increasing the temperature of the molten salt. The molten salt flows into the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger to preheat the exhausted air flowing in the exhausted air pipeline. When the exhausted air is preheated to 450 °C, the catalyst in the oxidation section undergoes a catalytic oxidation reaction with methane in the exhausted air, and the electric heater stops heating.
[0047] Step S2: The high-temperature flue gas discharged from the catalytic oxidation chamber conducts heat to the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger and the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger in the flue gas pipeline, and then is discharged; the low-temperature heat-conducting oil heat exchanger preheats the incoming exhausted air to 250 °C, then preheats it to 450 °C through the high-temperature heat exchanger, and then sends it into the catalytic oxidation chamber for catalytic oxidation reaction, and the system enters self-sustaining operation.
[0048] Step S3: When the temperature of the generated flue gas > 550 °C, the heat extraction unit is started, and water is sent into the heat exchange tubes buried in the oxidation chamber through the feed water pump for heat exchange, and hot water or steam is output for heating or power generation.
[0049] Step S4: When the temperature of the generated flue gas < 550 °C, the heat extraction system is closed, and the heat of the flue gas is completely used to heat the molten salt and the heat-conducting oil to maintain the temperature of the working medium in the two-stage regenerator, so that the temperature of the molten salt in the heat exchanger is maintained at 500 °C, and the temperature of the heat-conducting oil is maintained at 300 °C; then it is discharged when it is less than 100 degrees.
[0050] Step S5: When the temperature of the molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger is lower than 500 °C, the electric heater is turned on, and the high-temperature molten salt in the molten salt heat storage tank is pumped into the regenerator for heat supplement. When the temperature of the molten salt in the high-temperature molten salt heat exchanger is lower than 500 °C, during the day, solar panels are used to generate electricity and act on the electric heater, and at night, it is heated by off-peak electricity to reduce the electricity cost.
[0051] In summary, the present invention uses solar energy and off-peak electricity at night to perform a cold start on the system, and continues to supplement heat with solar energy and off-peak electricity at night after the flue gas in the catalytic oxidation chamber of the system is lower than the set temperature, so as to enable the system to operate in a low-cost mode; after the system performs a cold start, the high-temperature flue gas in the flue gas pipeline is used to perform secondary heat supplement on the lean air, so that it reaches the temperature required for catalytic oxidation, and then enters the catalytic oxidation chamber to perform the conversion of chemical energy and release a large amount of heat, thereby realizing the self-sustaining operation of the system and enabling the long-term treatment of lean air; the functional partition design of the catalytic oxidation chamber can achieve stable, efficient and clean operation of lean air catalytic oxidation; the heat extraction unit can utilize the heat released by catalytic oxidation to serve industry and daily life.
