Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental engineering, and particularly relates to a low-carbon cement production method for co-producing high-value chemicals. Background Art

[0002] The cement industry, as the cornerstone of the construction industry, occupies a crucial position in the global economy. The energy consumption and chemical reactions during cement production release a large amount of CO2, which has a non-negligible impact on global warming. Different from other industries, the CO2 emissions in the cement industry are divided into direct carbon emissions (emissions from fossil fuel combustion and process emissions during cement production) and indirect carbon emissions (emissions generated from electricity consumption during cement production). For different types of cement, the proportion of fuel combustion and electricity carbon emissions in the total carbon emissions during cement production fluctuates little. Among them, the carbon emissions from fuel combustion account for about 30%, and the carbon emissions from electricity account for about 10%. The carbonate decomposition process is the main carbon emission source during cement production and also the main factor affecting the difference in carbon emissions of different cements. Currently, the main paths for carbon emission reduction in the cement industry include: 1. The ultimate energy efficiency improvement of existing process equipment; 2. Low-carbon cement technologies based on raw material substitution; 3. Fuel substitution for the coal combustion emissions problem in the calcination process; 4. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) for end-of-pipe treatment. However, due to the particularity of cement production, a large amount of CO2 will still be inevitably generated during the production process. Exploring economic and efficient CO2 emission reduction technologies is of great significance in the cement industry. If a cement production process for in-situ conversion and utilization of CO2 can be developed, the carbon emission reduction during cement production can be minimized to provide technical support for the cement industry to achieve carbon neutrality at an early date.

[0003] The effective integration of CO2 capture and conversion utilization (CCU) is another attractive strategy to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions while realizing the potential benefits of CO2 molecules. If the CO2 generated from carbonate decomposition during cement production can be catalytically converted and utilized, it will be an effective technology for the cement industry to achieve carbon peak and carbon emission reduction.

[0004] In 1968, Giardini et al. reported interesting observations on the reaction of CaCO3, MgCO3, and dolomite with pressurized H2 to produce hydrocarbons. Wang Zhengyi et al. also reported that CaCO3, as a CO2 source, could be directly converted into CH4 and C1-C3 hydrocarbons in an H2 atmosphere. The above reports indicate that the direct conversion and utilization of CO2 in carbonates is feasible. In an H2 atmosphere, the reduction of CO2 by carbonates not only avoids the capture, transportation, and storage of CO2 but also improves the overall energy efficiency by coupling two endothermic reactions within the same temperature window. However, the above studies only demonstrated the feasibility of carbonate hydrogenation and did not explore carbon emission reduction in combination with the cement process, nor did they introduce the use of the reduced CO2. It does not have the value of being applied and promoted in the cement industry.

[0005] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118954980A discloses a method for hydrogen refining of bimetallic carbonate dolomite, and CN117446756A discloses a method for inducing low-temperature hydrogen refining of carbonate by mechanochemical pretreatment. These two inventions only involve the most basic chemical reactions and are not coupled with the cement production process. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115895707A discloses a method and system for the high-value utilization of carbon dioxide decomposed from carbonate. This system is also not combined with the cement production process, does not consider the general raw meal in the cement industry, does not produce cement products, and introduces the CO2 decomposed from carbonate into the catalytic reaction bed, adding multiple additional devices. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118908260A discloses a method and system for zero-carbon decomposition of carbonate hydrogenation reduction based on hydrogen combustion self-heating, CN118491466A discloses an in-situ hydrogen refining device for carbonate, CN113582208A discloses a method for producing syngas by hydrogen refining of carbonate for carbon dioxide emission reduction, and CN118387838A discloses a process for directly hydrogenating and decomposing and reducing carbonate catalyzed by iron-containing solid waste. These inventions also do not consider the general raw meal in the cement industry, do not produce cement products, and do not mention how to utilize the produced carbon monoxide. Moreover, CN118908260A uses hydrogen as fuel, wasting precious hydrogen resources, increasing the water vapor content in the products, and adding an extra burden to subsequent chemical synthesis. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118831526A discloses a low-carbon production system and method for producing metal oxides and methanol from hydrogen-assisted carbonate, and CN117566775A discloses a method for hydrogen refining of magnesium carbonate to produce magnesium oxide and co-produce methanol. These two inventions mention using carbonate hydrogenation to prepare methane and carbon monoxide and reacting with excess hydrogen to synthesize methanol, but they do not consider the actual cement production process. Currently, the cost of hydrogen is relatively high, and using hydrogen to synthesize methanol has the problem of too high cost.

[0006] In summary, the existing cement industry still has the following problems in the catalytic conversion and utilization of CO2:

[0007] (1) A large amount of CO2 is generated during both coal combustion and carbonate decomposition in the cement industry. The existing solutions have not completely solved the problem of CO2 conversion and utilization;

[0008] (2) None of the existing solutions use the actual raw material batching of the cement process, and the types of carbonates used are relatively single;

[0009] (3) Most of the existing solutions do not mention how to utilize the generated carbon monoxide, or only mention using carbon monoxide to prepare methanol, with low added value of the product and waste of hydrogen resources;

[0010] (4) When using the existing solutions to synthesize high-value chemicals subsequently, due to the presence of harmful elements such as sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine in the cement raw meal, it will cause poisoning of the subsequent synthesis catalyst, so the purification cost of the product gas is relatively high;

[0011] (5) None of the existing technical solutions for carbonate hydrogenation are combined with the actual cement production process. Adopting the above relevant literature requires a complete transformation of the existing cement plants. Under the current background of the downturn in the cement industry, a practical carbonate hydrogenation conversion solution for the cement industry has not been proposed.

[0012] Therefore, with the gradual implementation of the dual-carbon policy, it is urgent to find a technical route suitable for CO2 emission reduction through catalytic conversion and utilization in the cement industry. Summary of the Invention

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0044] Embodiment

[0045] The following elaborates in detail the specific working process of the present invention:

[0046] An embodiment of the present invention provides a cement production method for co-producing high-value chemicals. This production method is achieved through the following equipment: an electrolytic water device, a hydrogen storage tank, an oxygen storage tank, a flow meter, an air compressor, a grate cooler, a preheating separator, a catalytic reaction device, a material-gas separator, a rotary kiln, a heat exchange device, a water removal and purification separation device, a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device, a separation device, a hydrogen mixing device, a waste heat power generation device, a purification device, a chimney, etc. In addition, it also includes some control systems, pipelines, valves, etc.

[0047] This production method includes the following steps:

[0048] First, use an electrolytic water device to prepare hydrogen and oxygen; the hydrogen enters the hydrogen storage tank, and the oxygen enters the oxygen storage tank; specifically, calculated based on the production of 1 kg of cement clinker (the same below), the electrolytic water device needs to produce 0.3 - 0.5 Nm 3 of oxygen and 0.7 - 1.0 Nm 3 of hydrogen.

[0049] The oxygen in the oxygen storage tank is introduced into the mixed gas storage tank through a flow meter, and air is introduced into the mixed gas storage tank through a compressor. The oxygen and air are mixed in the mixed gas storage tank to form oxygen-enriched air I, and the oxygen-enriched air I enters the grate cooler for preheating and is discharged from the middle section of the grate cooler to obtain preheated oxygen-enriched air II; specifically, the air intake is 1 - 1.3 Nm 3 .

[0050] The raw material and the tail gas V discharged from the rear section of the grate cooler enter the first preheating separator for heat exchange and gas-solid separation. After the raw material is preheated to a certain temperature, it enters the second preheating separator, and the tail gas VII discharged from the first preheating separator enters the waste heat power generation device; specifically, the mass of the raw material is 1.2 - 1.6 kg, and the amount of the tail gas IV entering the grate cooler is 0.3 - 0.5 Nm 3 .

[0051] It should be noted here that in the initial startup stage, the preheating of the entire system is mainly provided by the combustion of pulverized coal in the rotary kiln. The oxygen required for the combustion of pulverized coal is provided by normal-temperature oxygen-enriched air. The tail gas generated by the rotary kiln can enter the first preheating separator after entering the grate cooler and be heated and mixed with the oxygen-enriched air at the same time. This process can gradually heat the entire system to the temperature for feeding. After feeding, the clinker in the rotary kiln enters the grate cooler, and the system enters the stable operation stage.

[0052] The preheated oxygen-rich air II enters the preheating separator II and exchanges heat with the raw meal therein, preheating the raw meal to a certain temperature, enabling the volatile sulfides, chlorides, and fluorides in the raw meal to volatilize fully and enter the oxygen-rich air, forming preheated raw meal and then entering the catalytic reaction device. A part of the oxygen-rich air III discharged from the preheating separator II serves as oxygen-rich air V and enters the waste heat power generation device, and a part serves as oxygen-rich air IV and enters the rotary kiln; specifically, the volumes of oxygen-rich air IV and oxygen-rich air V are 0.5 - 0.7 Nm 3 and 0.9 - 1.1 Nm 3 .

[0053] The hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank enters the heat exchange device I and exchanges heat with the mixed gas I in the discharge gas separator to preheat the hydrogen, forming preheated hydrogen I; it should be noted here that at the initial startup, the hydrogen pipeline valve before the heat exchange device I is closed, and hydrogen does not enter the system to participate in the reaction. When the system temperature gradually rises, the hydrogen valve is slowly opened to allow hydrogen to enter the heat exchange device I for heating to ensure the normal operation of the system. Subsequently, preheated hydrogen I enters the hydrogen mixing device and mixes with preheated hydrogen II discharged from the heat exchange device II to obtain preheated hydrogen III at a certain temperature; it should be noted here that at the initial startup, the flow rate of the rotary kiln tail gas is small and the temperature is low, so the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange device II is poor. Since there is no recycled hydrogen for separation and reuse at this time, the hydrogen at the outlet pipeline of the hydrogen storage tank is connected to the heat exchange device II, and there is a hydrogen valve on the pipeline to regulate the gas flow rate. Hydrogen can be circulated and heated in the system until the hydrogen valve entering the heat exchange device II is gradually closed after the rotary kiln is charged. Then, preheated hydrogen III enters the catalytic reaction device; specifically, the volumes of preheated hydrogen I and preheated hydrogen II are 0.8 - 1.0 Nm 3 and 0.2 - 0.4 Nm 3 .

[0054] In the catalytic reaction device, the preheated raw meal and preheated hydrogen III move in the same direction and are fully mixed and reacted, and the material-gas mixture enters the material-gas separator; the pre-calcined raw meal separated by the material-gas separator enters the rotary kiln, and the mixed gas I separated by the material-gas separator enters the heat exchange device I;

[0055] The mixed gas II cooled after leaving the heat exchange device I enters the water removal and purification device, and the mixed gas III after water removal and purification enters the synthesis device. After pressurization and heating, it enters the separation device to separate the target product high-value chemical and the separated and recycled hydrogen. The separated and recycled hydrogen is sent to the heat exchange device II for reuse;

[0056] Pulverized coal enters the burner of the rotary kiln through the coal feeding air and is mixed with the oxygen-enriched air that has been cooled down. The combustion heat causes the raw meal after pre-decomposition to be sintered. After sintering, the clinker enters the grate cooler for cooling, forming the cooled clinker product. The tail gas generated in the rotary kiln enters the heat exchange device II and exchanges heat with the separated and recycled hydrogen in the heat exchange device II. After the tail gas I is preliminarily cooled by heat exchange, it becomes the tail gas II, and the tail gas II enters the waste heat power generation device. The separated and recycled hydrogen in the heat exchange device II is heated up to become the preheated hydrogen II, and the preheated hydrogen II enters the hydrogen mixing device. Specifically, the amount of the separated and recycled hydrogen entering the heat exchange device II is 0.2 - 0.5 Nm 3 , and the amount of the tail gas I entering the heat exchange device II is 0.3 - 1.0 Nm 3 .

[0057] The tail gas III that has been cooled down after exiting the waste heat power generation device enters the dust removal, desulfurization, and denitrification purification device, and then forms the pure tail gas. A part of the pure tail gas is discharged to the outside through the chimney as the tail gas VI, and the other part enters the section of the grate cooler far from the rotary kiln for preliminary preheating as the tail gas IV. After forming the tail gas V at a certain temperature, it enters the preheating separator I for the preliminary preheating of the raw meal. Specifically, the volume of the tail gas III exiting the waste heat power generation device is 1.5 - 2.0 Nm 3 .

The mass of the catalyst accounts for 5% - 15% of the total mass of the mixture, ensuring the catalytic effect without affecting the quality of the cement clinker.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment, the main components of the catalyst are solid wastes such as steel slag, carbide slag, and manganese slag. It is obtained after reduction at a certain temperature, where the temperature is 450 °C - 650 °C and the reduction time is 0.5 - 2 h, ensuring the full reduction and reconstruction of the active components in the catalyst.
