Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of piezoelectric catalytic carbon reduction, and particularly relates to a green preparation method of water gas by using piezoelectric catalysis of silicon dioxide to reduce CO2. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water gas is a combustible mixed gas composed of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), which is usually generated by the reaction of coal or coke with water vapor at high temperature, and has high chemical reactivity. As an important intermediate product of clean conversion of coal, water gas is widely used in the preparation of basic chemical raw materials such as ammonia, methanol, olefins, and liquid fuels, and is also a key raw gas in the processes of coal hydrogen production and gasification power generation, playing an important role in ensuring energy security and promoting efficient use of coal resources. At present, the industrial preparation of water gas mainly includes three technical routes: fixed bed gasification, fluidized bed gasification and coal water slurry gasification. The fixed bed gasification process is simple in structure and stable in operation, and is suitable for small and medium scale production; the fluidized bed gasification has high reaction intensity and is suitable for a wide range of coal, and is suitable for medium scale modernization device; and the coal water slurry gasification uses coal water mixture as raw material, which can realize continuous and automatic operation, and the gas composition is stable, which is suitable for large coal chemical projects. Among them, the coal water slurry gasification technology is currently the most widely used, because it has strong process flexibility, good raw material adaptability, and can realize efficient heat utilization and process control, especially suitable for the demand of large chemical enterprises for stable gas source and high automation level, and has become the mainstream choice of modern coal gasification device.

[0003] At present, the preparation of water gas in industry usually adopts intermittent fixed bed gasification process, which reacts coal or coke with water vapor at high temperature to generate water gas. Since the reaction is a strong endothermic process, air is periodically introduced to burn coal to supplement heat, forming an operation mode of alternating blast and steam. Although this method is simple in process and wide in raw materials, it also has many disadvantages: high energy consumption, low thermal efficiency, strong reaction intermittency, difficult to realize continuous and stable operation, and also accompanied by a large amount of emission of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfides and tar, which brings great environmental pressure. With the promotion of the "double carbon" goal, the traditional water gas preparation process needs to be transformed and upgraded to green, efficient and clean direction as soon as possible.
