Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon emission reduction, and in particular to a catalytic reaction device and method for pre-decomposing cement raw materials and simultaneously co-producing synthesis gas. Background Art
[0002] During cement production, in addition to CO2 generated by fuel combustion, the decomposition of raw materials also produces significant amounts of CO2, accounting for approximately half of total CO2 emissions from cement production. However, cement production consumes significant amounts of energy and releases significant amounts of CO2 during the process, contributing to approximately 13% of China's total carbon emissions. Furthermore, the cement industry's high flue gas volume and low CO2 concentrations pose significant challenges for carbon capture and utilization. Currently, the main approaches to carbon emission reduction in the cement industry include: 1. Optimizing the energy efficiency of existing process equipment; 2. Developing low-carbon cement technologies based on raw material substitution; 3. Fuel substitution to address coal-fired emissions during the calcination phase; and 4. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) for end-of-pipe disposal. However, due to the unique nature of cement production, significant amounts of CO2 are unavoidable during the production process. Exploring cost-effective and efficient CO2 emission reduction technologies is crucial for the cement industry. Developing a cement production process that utilizes CO2 in situ could minimize carbon emissions during cement production and provide technical support for the industry.
[0003] Regarding the technical solution of a reactor for the conversion and utilization of CO2 to produce synthesis gas in the cement clinker production process, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114735956A discloses a low-carbon production method and system for cement clinker. The system involves a converter, but in the converter, the catalyst is added together with the raw material. The catalyst uses the components of steel slag, the content of catalytically active components is low, and the steel slag is not activated by reduction and reconstruction, so it is difficult to achieve a catalytic effect. In addition, the invention uses partial oxidation of CH4 to provide heat for the pre-decomposition and catalytic reforming of the raw material, but in the CH4 partial oxidation process, the catalyst is added together with the raw material. A large amount of water vapor will be produced, and the Gibbs free energy of CH4 water vapor reforming is about 79kJ / mol, the Gibbs free energy of CH4 carbon dioxide reforming is about 97kJ / mol, and the Gibbs free energy of carbonate decomposition coupled with CH4 dry reforming is about 184kJ / mol. Given that the Gibbs free energy of CH4 water vapor reforming is the lowest, in a mixed atmosphere with excess CH4, CH4 is very likely to undergo reforming reaction with water vapor in the reactor, and CO2 will still remain in the atmosphere. Therefore, there will still be a large amount of CO2 in the exhaust gas of this process. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN109437604A discloses a method for recovering sensible heat from burned lime and utilizing tail gas by methane reforming. This process mixes CO2 tail gas with CH4 and then reintroduces it into the reaction tube through a pipeline, utilizing the sensible heat of lime to provide heat for the catalytic reaction. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216799768U discloses a novel carbonate decomposition CO2 high-value utilization reaction system. This system also first generates CO2 and then enters the catalytic reaction bed. In-situ utilization is not achieved, and the problem of water vapor in the cement production process is not considered. The catalyst is fixed, and the contact time and reaction time are both short.
[0004] In summary, the current cement industry still has the following problems in the design of CO2 catalytic conversion and utilization reaction equipment:
[0005] (1) Considering that a considerable proportion of water vapor exists in the flue gas during cement production, which can be as high as more than 10%, and the partial oxidation of CH4 also produces a large amount of water vapor, the existing technical solutions do not solve the problem of water vapor and CO2 competing for CH4 in cement kilns;
[0006] (2) Using solid waste as a catalyst requires reduction and reconstruction in advance to reduce the active components to zero valence, otherwise it is difficult to achieve a catalytic conversion effect. This step is not easy to implement in industry, and directly adding a synthetic consumable catalyst to the raw material will increase the cost;
[0007] (3) After carbonate decomposition produces CO2, it is mixed with CH4 through a pipeline and then enters the catalytic reaction bed. In situ utilization is not achieved, and the problem of water vapor in the cement production process is not considered.
[0008] Therefore, it is urgent to design a reaction device suitable for the cement industry to achieve carbon emission reduction and carbon utilization through catalytic conversion of CO2. Summary of the Invention

[0020] A method for pre-decomposing cement raw materials and simultaneously producing synthesis gas comprises the following steps:
[0021] (1) nitrogen is introduced into the catalytic reaction device through the bottom gas inlet to replace the air in the device with nitrogen. After the airflow is stable, the second catalyst is first added to the second catalyst feeding port.

[0026] After the gas-solid mixture 1, oxygen and a portion of the second feed gas mixture are evenly mixed, they enter the first suspended catalytic bed to undergo a methane oxidation reaction, generating carbon dioxide and water vapor and releasing heat. Simultaneously, a methane steam reforming reaction occurs to generate a gas-solid mixture 2, which then continues to move upward to a position between the first and second suspended catalytic beds.
[0027] (5) oxygen is introduced into the position between the first suspended catalyst bed and the second suspended catalyst bed through the gas inlet three; a portion of the second feed gas mixture is introduced into the position between the first suspended catalyst bed and the second suspended catalyst bed through the feed gas mixture inlet three;
[0028] After being evenly mixed, the gas-solid mixture 2, oxygen and a portion of the second feed gas mixture enter the second suspended catalytic bed to undergo a methane carbon dioxide reforming reaction to generate a gas-solid mixture 3, which then continues to move upward and exits the reaction device through the gas-solid mixture outlet.
[0029] Preferably, when the reaction unit is shut down, the introduction of raw materials and rotary kiln combustion exhaust gas is stopped first, followed by the introduction of natural gas, and finally the introduction of oxygen. During this process, nitrogen is gradually introduced into the gas inlet to ensure that all the gas in the reaction unit is replaced by nitrogen. After that, the nitrogen is turned off, the catalyst and other solid impurities are taken out from the material accident discharge port at the bottom of the reaction unit, and the catalyst is recovered by screening.

[0032] Preferably, in step (2), the source of the high-temperature gas is the flue gas from the rotary kiln outlet, or the heated air; if it is the flue gas from the rotary kiln outlet, the catalytic bed heating gas outlet is connected to the mixed gas inlet; if it is heated air, the heat comes from green hydrogen combustion, electric heating or solar heating;

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and positive effects:
[0038] (1) The present invention can convert the carbon dioxide and water vapor generated by firing in the rotary kiln, the carbon dioxide and water vapor generated by the heat supply from the decomposition of raw materials in the catalytic reaction device, and the carbon dioxide generated by the decomposition of raw materials into CO and H2 for the downstream synthesis of high-value chemicals.
[0039] (2) In addition to the energy required for cement production, the conventional method requires additional energy for the catalytic reforming reaction to produce synthesis gas. However, the present invention couples the cement production process and the chemical catalytic reforming reaction process together. The CO2 produced by the decomposition of carbonates is directly mixed with CH4 for catalytic reaction. Therefore, the total energy consumption is greatly reduced compared with the separate cement production and catalytic reforming.
[0040] (3) The suspended catalytic bed of the present invention adopts a layered arrangement, and the methane steam reforming and methane carbon dioxide reforming react in steps, distinguishing the catalytic reaction process and increasing the catalytic reaction time. Oxygen is introduced into the reactor in stages, avoiding the situation where the flue gas temperature soars and the raw material decomposes rapidly due to the direct introduction of oxygen. Part of the oxidation reaction occurs in the combustion section, the first suspended catalytic reaction bed, and the second catalytic reaction bed, which can gradually release heat to control the temperature in the reactor, and maximize the catalytic reforming reaction of CO2 with methane on the surface of the raw material.
[0041] (4) The catalyst of the present invention is suspended in a suspended catalytic reaction bed and can be recycled, which greatly increases the service life of the catalyst and solves the problem that solid waste needs to be reduced and reconstructed as a catalyst, which makes it difficult to achieve a catalytic effect and the addition of newly prepared catalysts will lead to increased costs.
