TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of renewable energy, more specifically, relates to a biomass biogas purification coupled carbon capture and conversion integrated system and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing depletion of oil resources, the continuous growth of global population and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the use of renewable energy is increasing. Wind energy, solar energy and biomass energy, as the three major renewable energy sources, are expected to dominate the global energy supply in the future and gradually replace fossil fuels. Unlike wind energy and solar energy, which have intermittent characteristics, biomass energy is abundant, widely used, and can achieve sustainable power generation on the premise of ensuring a reliable supply chain. Currently, biomass energy accounts for 10% of the total global primary energy supply. As a renewable resource, biomass biogas has been proven to significantly promote social and economic development. Biomass biogas is mainly derived from the anaerobic fermentation of organic waste (livestock and poultry manure, crop straw, industrial organic wastewater, etc.), composed of 40%-75% methane (CH4), 25%-60% carbon dioxide (CO2) and some trace gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Traditional biomass biogas utilization methods (such as power generation, direct combustion) have low energy conversion efficiency and poor economic performance. The alternative solution developed over the past few decades is to upgrade and upgrade biomass biogas to increase its methane content. Purified biomethane can be used locally as compressed gas, or directly injected into the natural gas pipeline as a renewable fuel.
[0003] In recent years, to improve the utilization potential of biomass biogas, technologies for purifying it to natural gas quality have attracted much attention. The presence of high concentrations of carbon dioxide in raw biomass biogas not only significantly reduces its calorific value, but also restricts its application potential in distributed energy systems. Traditional carbon dioxide removal technologies (pressure swing adsorption, chemical absorption and membrane separation, etc.) are mature, but have obvious defects: on the one hand, these technologies have high energy consumption and high operating costs, and CH4 can easily escape during the separation process; on the other hand, CO2 is not effectively utilized, resulting in resource waste and secondary pollution. In contrast, carbon capture and in-situ conversion technology not only has high CO2 capture efficiency, but also can convert captured CO2 into value-added chemicals (methane, syngas and olefins, etc.) on site, reducing compression and transportation costs and the corresponding equipment, with higher environmental and economic feasibility, realizing the innovation of the biomass biogas purification process. Therefore, it is of great significance to propose an integrated system that simultaneously realizes biomass biogas purification and biogas CO2 capture and conversion. SUMMARY

[0011] Preferably, when the conversion unit involves reactions such as methanation, reverse water gas shift, and low-carbon alkane dehydrogenation, the purification unit needs multiple capture reactors to make the bio-gas meet the national standard requirements; when it involves the reaction of methane reforming to synthesize gas, the purification unit only needs a single capture reactor. The purified gas is fed into the conversion unit as a gas raw material to react with the released carbon dioxide to produce synthesis gas or as a raw gas for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor to further synthesize high value-added chemicals.
[0012] Preferably, the products of the biomass biogas purification coupled carbon capture and conversion integrated system can be bio-gas, high value-added products, and bio-gas and high value-added products.

[0014] Preferably, the high-value-added products can be methane, carbon monoxide, synthesis gas (CO, H2), olefins, etc., and more preferably, the synthesis gas can be further produced into high-value-added downstream products such as methanol, aviation kerosene, gasoline, diesel, etc. by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
[0015] Preferably, the conversion gas introduced into the in-situ conversion reactor is hydrogen, methane, low-carbon alkanes, etc.
[0016] Preferably, the pressure in the reactor is 1 atm or above.
[0017] Preferably, the temperature in the capture reactor is 300-800℃, the temperature in the in-situ conversion reactor is 300-850℃, and the temperature in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor is 300-1000℃.
