TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of complementary utilization of various renewable energies, and particularly relates to a day-and-night operation solar-driven biomass pyrolysis-gasification energy utilization system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coal, oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels have always dominated the global energy structure, greatly promoting the development of productivity, but their widespread use has also brought a series of problems such as air pollution, climate change, and harm to health, and fossil fuels are non-renewable energy, whose regeneration rate does not match the growing energy demand of today's society. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development, developing clean and efficient renewable energy has become the direction of future development.
[0003] The global energy structure transformation process is accelerating, and renewable clean energy such as solar energy and biomass has become the best choice to replace fossil fuels due to its efficiency, economic feasibility, and environmental friendliness. Biomass is internationally recognized as a zero-carbon renewable energy, which can be converted into syngas through gasification and then used as fuel or other products, which can better play its energy value. The biomass gasification process can be divided into pyrolysis and gasification reactions, and the temperature and heat required for pyrolysis are lower than those for gasification. In the traditional gasification process, the heat required for the reaction is provided by the combustion of biomass fuel itself, which consumes part of the biomass and produces by-products that hinder gasification, greatly reducing the effective utilization rate of biomass and the gasification efficiency.
[0004] Solar energy is the most abundant clean energy, with a global total of 301 times the capacity of existing coal-fired power plants, so large-scale conversion and storage of solar energy is an important technical route to achieve carbon neutrality. The solar spectrum range reaching the earth's surface is between 200-2500nm, including ultraviolet light, visible light and near-infrared light, which all carry a certain amount of energy, of which visible light and near-infrared light radiation accounts for the vast majority of energy, and different wavebands of solar energy can be converted into different grades of other energy. Solar photo-thermal utilization technology can convert full-spectrum and split-spectrum solar energy into heat energy, providing different levels of temperature and heat. Therefore, combining solar heat utilization technology with biomass gasification can use full-spectrum and split-spectrum solar energy to provide different levels of heat for the pyrolysis and gasification reactions of biomass gasification. In addition, the syngas produced by biomass gasification usually contains a large amount of high-temperature waste heat, and its recycling is an effective way to realize resource utilization.
[0005] Due to the intermittency of solar energy, solar energy cannot be provided at night, so it is necessary to couple traditional biomass gasification to realize continuous operation of biomass gasification, and using air as an oxidant will make the nitrogen content in the final synthesis gas too high, reducing the calorific value of the synthesis gas; using oxygen as an oxidant can largely solve this problem, but the cost of obtaining oxygen by traditional air separation technology is high. Electrolysis of water is an effective method to replace this high-cost technology, and solar photovoltaic power generation can convert solar energy into electrical energy to meet the electrical energy demand of water electrolysis.

The biomass raw material is added from the top of the biomass gasification furnace 2, and the steam is introduced from the side, the hot molten salt from the hot tank 5 enters the biomass gasification furnace 2 to drive the biomass pyrolysis reaction, and the heat-released molten salt then enters the cold tank 4. The full-spectrum high-temperature concentrated solar energy reflected by the total reflection condenser drives the biomass gasification reaction, and the high-temperature synthesis gas generated by the biomass gasification furnace 2 enters the molten salt heat exchanger 3. The molten salt in the cold tank 4 absorbs the solar energy frequency division heat collection in the cold tank 4, and then enters the molten salt heat exchanger 3 to absorb the sensible heat of the high-temperature synthesis gas, and then enters the biomass gasification furnace 2 to absorb the residual heat of the ash residue, and is stored in the hot tank 5 after the above-mentioned cascade heat absorption. The synthesis gas after heat exchange in the molten salt heat exchanger 3 is treated by the flue gas treatment device 6 to remove impurities such as tar, particulate matter and acid gas in the synthesis gas, and finally enters the synthesis gas storage tank 7.
