Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biomass conversion and synthetic fuel, in particular to a method and system for preparing aviation kerosene by coupling green hydrogen and biomass gasification. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid growth of the demand for emission reduction and green fuel in the aviation industry, the use of biomass to prepare alternative aviation kerosene (sustainable aviation fuel, SAF) has become the focus of research and industry. At present, the mainstream path of biomass to liquid fuel usually includes: converting biomass into syngas in a fluidized bed or other gasification device, purifying and adjusting the components to achieve a suitable H2 / CO ratio, and then synthesizing hydrocarbon products under the action of iron-based or cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, and then obtaining the target aviation kerosene components through fraction cutting and hydroisomerization / cracking treatment. In order to improve the carbon utilization rate and product quality, external hydrogen, oxygen-rich gasification, reforming / shift, tail gas recycling and post-processing units are often introduced for system coupling.

[0003] The existing process generally takes H2 / CO molar ratio as the core parameter for feed ratio and process monitoring, but this index is difficult to fully reflect the dilution effect of inert or by-product components such as CO2, CH4 and N2 on the reaction gas, resulting in significant differences in hydrogen volume fraction and hydrogen partial pressure actually entering the Fischer-Tropsch reactor even if the H2 / CO ratio is the same, causing fluctuations in product distribution and reaction selectivity.

[0004] In terms of hydrogen / oxygen sources and system coupling, current external hydrogen is mostly dependent on fossil energy hydrogen production or distributed hydrogen sources; the green hydrogen produced by water electrolysis and its by-product oxygen have a low level of synergistic utilization in the gasification-synthesis system. In particular, the by-product oxygen is usually only used as ordinary oxygen-rich medium, without establishing a clear process cascade mechanism with the oxygen partial pressure control of the gasification unit, making it difficult to simultaneously ensure the stability of gasification, the quality of syngas and the feed requirements of the downstream synthesis unit.

[0005] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction mostly uses metal / solid support catalyst system, which still has deficiencies in reaction heat transfer, mass transfer efficiency and metal active site microenvironment regulation. Although there are unit operations in existing industrial processes that use methanol as a physical absorbent or purification solvent, the system integration scheme of using methanol as a Fischer-Tropsch reaction medium and catalyst carrier, and synergizing with acidic or complexing-type regulators to optimize the active site environment and product distribution, still needs to be improved.

[0006] In the product separation and reconstituent utilization, the conventional process mainly obtains the aviation kerosene fraction through rectification, and the heavy components are subjected to hydroisomerization / cracking to improve the low-temperature fluidity and yield. However, the closed-loop strategy of recycling the heavy components to aviation kerosene lacks effective linkage between the upstream syngas feed control, and an operable and integrated system solution has not yet been formed.

[0007] In addition, the syngas purification and ratio adjustment units are usually independent of each other, and the operations such as pressure swing adsorption, absorption, filtration and pressure reduction cannot form an efficient and integrated process in cooperation with the online gas analysis and closed-loop control system, which is difficult to continuously provide high-quality syngas meeting the boundary conditions of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis feed under fluctuating operating conditions. SUMMARY

[0008] The present application aims to solve the problems of large fluctuation of reaction hydrogen partial pressure, unstable product selectivity, low yield of aviation kerosene target fraction and difficulty in efficient recovery of heavy components in the existing process of preparing aviation kerosene fraction from biomass by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis due to poor controllability of feed, insufficient cooperation between gasification and synthesis section.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a method for preparing aviation kerosene by coupling green hydrogen and biomass gasification, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1, hydrogen and oxygen are prepared by electrolyzing water, and the oxygen is used as a byproduct of the process;

[0011] S2, the pretreated biomass is fed into a fluidized bed gasifier with adjustable oxygen concentration, and is gasified under controlled oxygen partial pressure and temperature conditions to obtain syngas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide;

[0012] S3, the syngas is subjected to pressure swing adsorption purification, and is mixed with the hydrogen produced by electrolysis, and the mixed gas is adjusted so that the volume fraction of hydrogen entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit is 70%-80%, and the volume fraction is stabilized within the range of the hydrogen volume fraction through online gas component analysis combined with closed-loop control;

[0013] S4, in the presence of a metal catalyst, using methanol as a reaction medium, cooperating with a supported metal Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, and adding oxalic acid as a phase and active site environment regulator to obtain a crude synthesis oil;

[0014] S5, aviation kerosene fraction is obtained by column separation or rectification cutting, and heavy components are subjected to hydrocracking and / or isomerization to recover aviation kerosene products.

[0015] Further, the oxygen prepared in step S1 is used as an oxygen-rich medium in step S2 for adjusting the oxygen partial pressure of the gasification process, and is coordinated with the closed-loop control of the hydrogen volume fraction in step S3.

[0016] Further, the step S2 is carried out under the conditions of oxygen partial pressure 0.5-1 MPa and gasification temperature 800-1000 DEG C, the raw material is ground to a particle size less than 100 mesh by biomass pretreatment, and the volume fraction of the obtained synthesis gas satisfies the relationship H2:CO:CH4:CO2=1:(0-0.5):(0.5-0.8):1.

[0017] Further, the mass fraction of C1-C4 alcohols in the obtained crude synthesis oil in the step S4 is not less than 60%, and the mass fraction of heavy aromatic hydrocarbons is not less than 30%.

[0018] Further, the synthesis gas is mixed with electrolytic hydrogen according to the closed-loop control requirement of the set hydrogen volume fraction in the step S3, the mixed gas stream is purified by sequentially passing through a methanol solution contactor, a low-temperature filter and a pressure reduction unit before entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction.

[0019] Further, the metal catalyst is a Co-based supported Fischer-Tropsch catalyst or a Fe-Cu-K system Fischer-Tropsch catalyst; and the heavy component hydrocracking and / or isomerization in the step S5 uses a Pt-based catalyst.

[0020] Further, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is carried out under the conditions of pressure 1-2 MPa and temperature 200-300 DEG C, pure hydrogen and methanol are simultaneously introduced into the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit, and the reaction product is obtained by column separation to obtain the aviation kerosene fraction.

[0021] The application further provides a system for preparing aviation kerosene by coupling green hydrogen and biomass gasification, which comprises an electrolytic hydrogen production unit, a biomass gasification unit, a synthesis gas purification and ratio adjustment unit, a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit, a separation unit and a heavy component treatment unit which are sequentially connected and communicate with each other.

[0023] Further, the biomass gasification unit is a fluidized bed structure with adjustable oxygen concentration, is provided with an oxygen partial pressure control mechanism to maintain the oxygen partial pressure of 0.5-1 MPa, and is equipped with a pretreatment device capable of grinding the biomass to a particle size less than 100 mesh.

[0024] Further, the syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit comprises a pressure swing adsorption device for removing CO2, water and trace amounts of polar impurities, a hydrogen mixing manifold, a methanol solution contactor, a low-temperature filter and a pressure adjustment unit to ensure that the feed pressure entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit is in the target range of 1-2 MPa.

[0025] Preferably, the present application adopts a master-slave combined feedforward process level control strategy: taking feed hydrogen volume fraction closed loop control as the master loop and taking gasification unit oxygen partial pressure closed loop control as the slave loop; when the raw material characteristics change or system load disturbance causes syngas composition fluctuation, the oxygen-rich supply amount is corrected in real time through the feedforward mechanism, thereby shortening the disturbance recovery time and effectively inhibiting the transmission of fluctuations to the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis section; the trigger conditions of the feedforward control include but are not limited to: when the CH4 or CO2 content in the syngas exceeds the set threshold, or the gas flow rate changes by more than the limit, the oxygen-rich supply amount and the opening of the hydrogen mixing ratio valve are adjusted synchronously.

[0026] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] (1) By taking the feed hydrogen volume fraction as the main control variable and realizing online closed loop control, the effective hydrogen partial pressure at the inlet of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit can be directly stabilized, the transmission and amplification of upstream raw material and load disturbance to the downstream are effectively inhibited, the feed fluctuation recovery time is significantly shortened, and the yield and batch consistency of the kerosene fraction are improved.

[0028] (2) The by-product oxygen from electrolysis of water is introduced into the oxygen partial pressure (0.5-1 MPa) closed loop control of the gasification section, which enhances the stability of the gasification process and the controllability of the syngas composition, reduces the dust and tar generation load, and provides cleaner and more stable gas source conditions for subsequent pressure swing adsorption and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and forms system synergy with the feed hydrogen fraction control.

[0029] (3) Taking methanol as the reaction medium and catalyst carrier and cooperating with oxalic acid as the regulator, the heat and mass transfer performance of the reaction system and the microenvironment of the metal active sites are effectively improved, which promotes the distribution of C1-C4 alcohols and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons in the crude synthesis oil to be more conducive to subsequent column separation and heavy component recovery, and improves the product compliance rate and performance stability of the kerosene fraction.

[0030] (4) By sequentially arranging the pressure swing adsorption device, the methanol solution contactor, the low-temperature filter and the pressure reduction unit, and cooperating with online gas component analysis and closed loop control module, the negative effects of polar and non-polar impurities and condensed components on the feed gas and catalyst are significantly reduced, and the long-term stable maintenance of the 70%-80% feed hydrogen volume fraction range is ensured.

[0031] (5) The system can be stably operated under Co-based supported or Fe-Cu-K system Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, and Pt-based catalyst is used for hydrocracking / isomerization upgrading and recycling of heavy components, so that the total distillate output rate of aviation kerosene, the low-temperature fluidity and the consistency of combustion performance are further improved, and the device adaptability and engineering amplification potential are good.

[0048] For the person skilled in the art to understand and implement the present application, the present application is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the scope defined by the claims. Any equivalent replacement or modification made without departing from the spirit of the present application shall be deemed to fall within the scope of the present application.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , the system for preparing aviation kerosene by coupling green hydrogen and biomass gasification provided by the present application comprises, in sequence according to the technological process: an electrolytic hydrogen production unit 1, a biomass gasification unit 2, a syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit 3, a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4, a separation unit 5, and a heavy component treatment unit 6; the heavy component treatment unit 6 comprises a hydrocracking unit and / or an isomerization unit.

[0050] The oxygen outlet 12 of the electrolytic hydrogen production unit 1 is connected to the oxygen-rich inlet 21 of the biomass gasification unit 2 through an oxygen line 71; the hydrogen outlet 11 of the electrolytic hydrogen production unit 1 is connected to the syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit 3 through a hydrogen mixing manifold 32; the syngas outlet of the biomass gasification unit 2 is connected to the syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit 3 through a syngas line 72; the gas outlet of the syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit 3 is connected to the feed inlet of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4 through a feed line 73; the reaction product of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4 enters the separation unit 5 through a product line 74, aviation kerosene fraction is obtained by separation, and the heavy components are sent to the heavy component treatment unit 6 for upgrading treatment, and the treated material is returned to the separation unit 5 through a return line 63.

[0051] As shown in Figure 2 , an online gas component analyzer 36 and a closed-loop control module are provided on the feed line 73 between the syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit 3 and the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4, for monitoring and adjusting the hydrogen volume fraction in the feed, and by controlling the hydrogen mixing manifold 32 and the related valve group, the hydrogen volume fraction entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4 is stably controlled within the range of 70%-80%. At the same time, an oxygen partial pressure sensor 22 is provided in the biomass gasification unit 2, which is connected to the oxygen outlet 12 of the electrolytic hydrogen production unit 1 and the oxygen-rich inlet 21 of the biomass gasification unit 2 through the oxygen line 71, to form a closed-loop control of the oxygen partial pressure in the gasification section, and the target oxygen partial pressure range is 0.5-1 MPa. The closed loop cooperates with the aforementioned closed loop of the hydrogen fraction in the feed to operate.

[0052] The closed-loop control module is an industrial process control unit for maintaining the feed hydrogen volume fraction and the gasification oxygen supply intensity within a set range. It receives the hydrogen volume fraction signal from the online gas component analyzer 36 and the oxygen partial pressure signal from the oxygen partial pressure sensor 22 as inputs; and sends the opening degree or flow rate command to the relevant valve group on the hydrogen mixing manifold 32 and the oxygen pipeline 71 to achieve precise control.

[0053] The oxygen partial pressure control mechanism is composed of the oxygen partial pressure sensor 22, the closed-loop control module, the oxygen pipeline 71, and the supporting regulating valve, which realizes the closed-loop regulation and control of the oxygen partial pressure in the biomass gasification unit 2. The oxygen partial pressure sensor 22 is a measurement and estimation module for obtaining the equivalent oxygen partial pressure, which preferably includes a high-temperature sampling probe, an inertization and cooling unit, a solid electrolyte or paramagnetic online oxygen analyzer, a supporting pressure transmitter, and a partial pressure calculation unit. The sensor is installed at the bypass sampling point of the oxygen-rich supply pipeline and the gas phase zone above the free board, and the sampling gas enters the oxygen analyzer after cooling and inertization treatment. Combined with the pressure and gas component data at this point, the equivalent oxygen partial pressure reflecting the oxygen supply intensity of the gasification zone is calculated, which is used as the controlled variable for the closed-loop control of the oxygen partial pressure in the gasification section.

[0054] The method of the present application specifically comprises the following steps:

[0055] S1, electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen and oxygen: hydrogen and oxygen are prepared by using an electrolysis device. The obtained hydrogen is used as a supplementary hydrogen source for subsequent synthesis gas ratio adjustment; the oxygen is used as a process byproduct, which is buffered and metered, and then used as an oxygen-rich medium for the biomass gasification unit 2, and is used in process synergy with the feed hydrogen volume fraction closed-loop control. The biomass gasification unit 2 is equipped with a pretreatment device 24 and a fluidized bed reaction zone 23, and the oxygen partial pressure in the reaction zone is controlled by the oxygen partial pressure sensor 22.

[0056] S2, biomass gasification: the pretreated biomass raw material is sent to the fluidized bed gasification furnace with adjustable oxygen concentration, and gasification is carried out under the controlled conditions of oxygen partial pressure 0.5-1 MPa and temperature 800-1000℃, to generate synthesis gas mainly composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and carbon dioxide. The biomass pretreatment includes grinding the raw material to a particle size of less than 100 mesh; under the preferred conditions, the normalized proportion of each component in the synthesis gas is H2: CO: CH4: CO2 = 1: (0-0.5): (0.5-0.8): 1 (based on H2 and CO2 as 1), which is used to represent the relative relationship of the gas composition.

[0057] S3, syngas purification, ratio adjustment and online closed loop control: the syngas is purified by a pressure swing adsorption device 31 (PSA), and then mixed with electrolytic hydrogen; the mixed gas is sequentially subjected to impurity removal by a methanol solution contactor 33, a low-temperature filter 34 and a pressure reduction unit 35, and after purification, is used as a feed for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and the volume fraction of the feed hydrogen gas entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4 is stably controlled at 70%-80% by an online gas component analyzer 36 and a closed loop control module. To achieve this goal, the mixing ratio of electrolytic hydrogen to syngas is dynamically adjusted according to the closed loop setting, and the mass ratio is preferably: syngas: electrolytic hydrogen = 1:0.1-0.3; the range of the hydrogen volume fraction is jointly ensured by the closed loop control and hydrogen supplement strategy.

[0058] S4, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction is carried out under the action of a metal catalyst, the reaction system uses methanol as the reaction medium and catalyst carrier, and oxalic acid is added as an adjusting agent, and the synthesis reaction is preferably carried out at a pressure of 1-2 MPa and a temperature of 200-300°C, and pure hydrogen and methanol are introduced into the reactor. A Co-based supported Fischer-Tropsch catalyst or a Fe-Cu-K Fischer-Tropsch catalyst can be used. In the obtained crude synthetic oil, the mass fraction of C1-C4 alcohols is not less than 60%, and the mass fraction of heavy aromatic hydrocarbons is not less than 30%.

[0059] S5, separation and heavy component upgrading and recovery: aviation kerosene fractions are obtained by column separation or rectification cutting; the heavy components are subjected to hydrocracking and / or isomerization treatment, preferably using a Pt-based catalyst, and the upgraded heavy components are recycled and combined into the aviation kerosene product.

[0060] The present application sets two process-level closed loop control loops, as follows:

[0061] The first loop is the feed hydrogen volume fraction closed loop:

[0062] An online gas component analyzer 36 is arranged at the outlet of the syngas purification and ratio adjustment unit 3 to monitor the gas composition in real time; the detection signal is transmitted to a closed loop control module, which dynamically controls the hydrogen supplement amount and / or the purified gas reflux ratio by adjusting the hydrogen mixing ratio valve and the vent valve or reflux valve of the pressure swing adsorption device 31, so that the hydrogen volume fraction in the feed gas entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4 is stably maintained within the range of 70%-80%.

[0063] The second loop is the gasification oxygen partial pressure closed loop:

[0064] An oxygen partial pressure sensor 22 is arranged in the biomass gasification unit 2 to detect the oxygen partial pressure state of the gasification reaction zone in real time; the signal is transmitted to the same or coordinated closed loop control module, which controls the delivery amount of the oxygen-rich medium by adjusting the oxygen supply valve on the electrolysis byproduct oxygen supply pipeline, so that the oxygen partial pressure of the gasification reaction zone is stably maintained at 0.5-1 MPa.

[0065] The preferred control strategy is master-slave + feedforward structure:

[0066] The feed hydrogen volume fraction closed loop is used as the main control loop, the gasification oxygen partial pressure closed loop is used as the slave loop, and a feedforward compensation mechanism is introduced. When the raw material properties change or the system load disturbance causes the gas composition to change, the feedforward correction of the gasification oxygen partial pressure closed loop set value is performed in advance to quickly stabilize the synthesis gas output characteristics at the gasification end and inhibit the transmission of the disturbance to the downstream Fischer-Tropsch synthesis feed.

[0106] In order to evaluate the influence of different process conditions on the performance of the system, a standardized test process is established and key data are recorded, and the specific test scheme and recording method are as follows:

[0107] Test objects and grouping: the test includes examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-3, a total of 8 groups; each group is repeatedly operated under key working conditions not less than 3 times, and the results are expressed by mean value ± standard deviation; the device process, measuring point arrangement and sampling mode strictly follow the description in each example and comparative example. Three types of typical disturbances are introduced in the test: raw material switching (pine powder → straw powder), moisture increase (8 → 15 wt%), load step (± 10%); under the master-slave + feedforward control structure, the dynamic response trajectories of hydrogen volume fraction, oxygen partial pressure and corresponding control valve position are recorded synchronously.

[0108] Feed control: the hydrogen volume fraction in the feed gas entering the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit is 70%-80% as the main control target; comparative example 3 only controls the feed ratio according to H2 / CO≈2, and does not enable the hydrogen volume fraction closed loop.

[0109] Synthesis gas purification and ratio adjustment: after the synthesis gas is purified by the pressure swing adsorption device 31, it is mixed with electrolytic hydrogen, and the mixed gas is sequentially purified by the methanol solution contactor 33, the low temperature filter 34 and the pressure reduction unit 35, and then enters the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit 4.

[0110] Fischer-Tropsch synthesis system: methanol is used as the reaction medium and catalyst carrier, and oxalic acid is used as the regulator; the catalyst is selected from cobalt-based supported catalyst or iron-copper-potassium Fischer-Tropsch catalyst; the reaction pressure is 1-2 MPa, and the temperature is 200-300℃.

[0111] Separation and heavy component recovery: tower separation or rectification is used to obtain aviation kerosene fraction; after the heavy component is subjected to hydrocracking and / or isomerization upgrading by a platinum-based catalyst, it is returned to the aviation kerosene product.

[0112] Gasification section operation: gasification is carried out in a fluidized bed gasifier with adjustable oxygen concentration, and the oxygen partial pressure closed loop control target is 0.5-1 MPa, and the temperature is maintained at 800-1000℃.

[0113] Index definition: feed hydrogen volume fraction (%): online analysis measured value; fluctuation amplitude: maximum absolute deviation of actual value and target value; recovery time (s): time experienced from disturbance occurrence to parameter recovery to target value ± 1% bandwidth; C1-C4 alcohol mass fraction (wt%): calculated based on total mass of crude synthesis oil; heavy aromatic hydrocarbon mass fraction (wt%): calculated based on total mass of crude synthesis oil; aviation kerosene fraction yield (wt%): calculated based on total mass of crude synthesis oil; oxygen partial pressure fluctuation (%): percentage deviation of actual oxygen partial pressure relative to set value.

[0114] The results are shown in Tables 1-4.

[0115] Table 1 Key indicators of feed control and Fischer-Tropsch product composition

[0116] The results are shown in Tables 1-4.

[0117] Note: The heavy aromatics in Table 1 are heavy components (before upgrading) distillate;

[0119]

[0120] Table 3 Key physicochemical properties of aviation kerosene distillate

[0121]

[0122] Note: The data in Table 3 are for the final aviation kerosene distillate, the density is measured at 15°C, and the kinematic viscosity is measured at -20°C;

[0123] Table 4 Double closed loop dynamic indicators and oxygen partial pressure fluctuation

[0124]

[0125] From the data in Table 1, compared with Comparative Example 3 which only controls H2 / CO≈2, the fluctuation range of the hydrogen feed volume fraction is reduced from ±5.2% to ±1.1% in Example 1, and the recovery time is shortened from 240 seconds to 55 seconds; the fluctuation range of Examples 2-5 is stabilized between ±1.2% and ±1.5%, and the average recovery time is between 48-60 seconds. Taking "70%-80% of the hydrogen feed volume fraction" as the main control variable, the upstream disturbance transmission can be effectively inhibited, the effective hydrogen concentration and hydrogen partial pressure at the inlet of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit are stabilized, and a key guarantee is provided for the improvement of the aviation kerosene distillate yield. According to the dynamic response data, the time constant of the closed loop system is estimated to be 13.7-17.7 seconds according to t S ≈3.5τ (t S is the time after disturbance to adjust to ±1% bandwidth, and τ is the equivalent first-order time constant), which is significantly lower than 68.6 seconds of Comparative Example 3, further confirming the effectiveness of the control strategy from the response characteristic angle.

[0126] Compared with the comparative example 1 without adding oxalic acid, the content of C1-C4 alcohols in the product distribution of example 1 is increased from 56.8 wt% to 65.4 wt%, and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons are increased from 29.0 wt% to 32.1 wt%; compared with the comparative example 2 without using methanol as a reaction medium and a catalyst carrier, the content of C1-C4 alcohols is significantly increased from 50.5 wt% to 65.4 wt%, and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons are increased from 24.8 wt% to 32.1 wt%. The above results show that the combined use of methanol and oxalic acid effectively optimizes the heat and mass transfer performance of the reaction system and the microenvironment of the metal active site, promotes the distribution of light alcohols and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons to be more conducive to subsequent tower separation and heavy component recovery, and the corresponding aviation kerosene fraction exhibits better performance in key properties such as freezing point, smoke point and viscosity.

[0127] From the gasification stability, the data in Table 2 shows that after introducing the oxygen partial pressure closed-loop control, the oxygen partial pressure fluctuation is reduced from 7.5% to 2.0%, the dust and tar contents in the synthesis gas are reduced from 60 mg / Nm 3 and 1.9 g / Nm 3 to 25 mg / Nm 3 and 0.8 g / Nm 3 , respectively, and the synthesis gas composition is more stably in the target interval of H2:CO:CH4:CO2=1:(0-0.5):(0.5-0.8):1. The stable operation of the upstream gasification and the cooperation of the downstream feed closed loop jointly contribute to the stability improvement of the aviation kerosene fraction yield and product composition in Table 1.

[0128] The unit sequence of “pressure swing adsorption→methanol solution contact→low-temperature filtration→reduced pressure” effectively reduces the interference of polar and nonpolar impurities, particles and condensed components on the feed gas quality and the catalyst activity, and in combination with the feed hydrogen volume fraction closed-loop control, the system can stably maintain the hydrogen volume fraction in the range of 70%-80% under the conditions of raw material and load fluctuation.

[0129] In terms of catalyst adaptability, whether a Co-based supported catalyst or a Fe-Cu-K Fischer-Tropsch catalyst is used, Tables 1 and 3 show that under the cooperation of the control strategy and the reaction medium / regulator, stable product distribution and aviation kerosene fraction properties can be obtained. The heavy components are treated by hydrogenation cracking or isomerization with a platinum-based catalyst and then returned to the aviation kerosene product, further improving the consistency of the total fraction yield and product properties.

[0130] Without departing from the core idea of the present application and the scope of the claims, the following adjustments can be made in practical applications:

[0131] The biomass raw material can be straw, forest residue or other agricultural and forestry waste, which is pretreated to a particle size of less than 100 mesh;

[0132] The gasification operation conditions can be adjusted in the range of 0.5-1 MPa of oxygen partial pressure and 800-1000 DEG C of temperature;

[0133] The mixing ratio of the synthesis gas and the electrolytic hydrogen is controlled in real time in a closed loop under the premise that the volume fraction of the feeding hydrogen is 70%-80%, and the recommended mass ratio of the synthesis gas to the electrolytic hydrogen is 1:0.1-0.3;

[0134] The Fischer-Tropsch catalyst can be selected from Co-based supported type and Fe-Cu-K system, and the reaction pressure and temperature can be optimized in the range of 1-2 MPa and 200-300 DEG C, respectively;

[0135] The separation can adopt tower type separation or rectification cutting, and the heavy component treatment can select hydrocracking, isomerization or combination of both in series and parallel.

[0136] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application, and various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application.
