Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of gas separation and energy saving, and particularly relates to a high-flux and low-energy-consumption radial tower for blast furnace gas carbon capture and a capture process. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a main by-product gas of the steel industry, blast furnace gas has a CO2 content of 15%-25%, and recycling thereof has both environmental protection and economic benefits. The existing VPSA process mostly uses an axial tower, which has four bottlenecks: 1. Under a high-flux working condition, the tower diameter is about 3-4 times that of a radial tower under the same flow cross-sectional area, and the occupied area is large, which makes it difficult to arrange the site; 2. When the tower diameter is large (especially when the tower diameter exceeds 10 meters), the airflow is unevenly distributed along the axial direction, which leads to insufficient utilization of the bed layer; 3. Under the same adsorbent loading and tower diameter conditions, the axial tower has a large bed layer thickness (usually 3-5 m), and the resistance loss is as high as 8-12 kPa, and the desorption energy consumption is high; and 4. The dead space volume accounts for 15%-20% of the tower capacity, and the increase in the circulation of the invalid gas increases the energy consumption.
[0003] In the prior art, the radial tower still has defects such as uneven gas distribution and obvious edge effect in solving the above problems. For example, the conventional radial tower has a uniform distribution of opening rates, which leads to a gas flow speed at the edge of the bed layer being 2-3 times that in the central region, and the utilization rate of the adsorbent is still low. In addition, there is currently a lack of a stepped vacuum desorption process matched with the radial tower, which makes it difficult to fully exert the energy-saving potential of the radial tower.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a radial tower with uniform airflow distribution, low bed layer resistance, small dead space and small occupied area and a matching process, and realize a method for significantly reducing the energy consumption of blast furnace gas VPSA is a technical problem that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. SUMMARY

[0079] Example 2
[0080] A blast furnace gas carbon capture process uses the high-flux low-energy radial tower for blast furnace gas carbon capture of Example 1, adopts a 5-tower linkage mode, and each tower sequentially performs the processes of adsorption, pressure reduction, reverse pressure release, desorption, and pressure increase. Specifically, the process includes the following steps:
[0081] (1) Raw material pretreatment: After dust removal, cooling, and dehydration, the blast furnace gas is introduced into the outer cylinder 1 of the radial tower at a gas pressure of 0.15-0.3 MPa(g), and then enters the adsorption bed 3 through the gas flow distributor 4 to perform gradient adsorption;
[0082] (2) Gradient adsorption: The radial flow rate of the gas flow in the adsorption bed 3 is controlled to be 0.8-1.2 m / s, the pretreatment protection layer 31 adsorbs impurities such as residual H2S and water molecules, the main adsorption layer 32 selectively adsorbs CO2, and the fine treatment layer 33 deeply adsorbs and purifies, and the adsorption time is 60-90 s;
[0083] (3) Stepwise pressure reduction: After gradient adsorption, the pressure is reduced to 0.03-0.05 MPa(g) in 2-4 stages, and the pressure reduction rate of each stage is controlled to be 0.02-0.03 MPa / s, and the desorption gas is recovered;
[0084] (4) Reverse pressure release: The residual gas (containing a small amount of CO2) is discharged from the bottom of the tower to the buffer tank in a reverse direction, part of the CO2 is recovered, and the pressure is reduced to 0.01-0.02 MPa;
[0085] (5) Vacuum desorption: Two-stage vacuum system (Roots-water ring vacuum pump combination, limit vacuum degree ≤ 5 Pa) is used to first extract vacuum to about -0.05 MPa (g) for 15-20 s, then to -0.085 MPa for 20-30 s, and the desorption gas is recycled by compression;
[0086] (6) Pressure boosting cycle: The equalizing gas and purified desorption gas of other towers are used to boost the pressure to the adsorption pressure, the pressure boosting time is 45-60 s, and the cycle enters the next radial tower.
[0087] (7) The 5-tower linkage process timing is shown in Table 1:
[0088] Table 1
[0089]
[0090]
[0091] Wherein, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 are radial towers in Example 1 connected in series.
[0092] In the 5-tower linkage process, the 5 towers are staggered and operated, at least one tower is in the "adsorption (A)" state at any time, ensuring continuous treatment of blast furnace gas, and the first-stage stepwise pressure reduction (E1D) corresponds to the first-stage stepwise pressure boost (E1R), and the second-stage stepwise pressure reduction (E2D) corresponds to the second-stage stepwise pressure boost (E2R), realizing efficient recovery of gas energy.
[0093] The vacuum extraction (V) time accounts for more than 26%, ensuring sufficient desorption of CO2; the multi-stage pressure boosting (E2R→E1R→FR) avoids the impact of adsorbent caused by sudden pressure rise, ensuring the balance between desorption and pressure boost. According to the actual pressure loss, the time distribution of E1D / E1R and E2D / E2R can be adjusted.
[0094] Comparative Example 1
[0095] In the blast furnace gas vacuum pressure swing adsorption CO2 capture process, the currently used adsorption tower is mainly a small gas axial adsorption tower, and there is no suitable radial adsorption tower for large gas for this process;
[0096] The inner cylinder and outer cylinder of the traditional radial tower adopt uniform hole opening mode, or only one component between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder is distributed with different hole opening rates, and the angle of the airflow distributor is fixed, and the influence of the opening angle of the inner cylinder gas guide hole on the flow field is usually not considered. In addition, the traditional radial tower does not consider multi-gradient layered design.
[0097] Comparative Example 2
[0098] A blast furnace gas carbon capture process using the conventional radial tower and process in Comparative Example 1, specifically including adsorption, pressure reduction, reverse discharge, vacuum desorption, pressure increase procedures, does not contain multi-gradient layered material adsorption and multi-gradient precise vacuum desorption procedures.
[0099] Technical effects:
[0100] (1) The Fluent software was used to construct the three-dimensional geometric model of the two kinds of radial auxiliary towers, and the uniformity of the airflow in the tower in the process of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 was calculated by multiple simulation groups. The results are as follows: the radial velocity deviation is reduced from 15% to 20% in the conventional radial tower to ≤5%, and the adsorbent utilization rate is more than 85%;
[0101] (2) The Fluent software was used to construct the three-dimensional geometric model of the two kinds of radial auxiliary towers, and the energy consumption of the process of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 was calculated by multiple simulation groups. The results show that, compared with Comparative Example 2, the energy consumption of the process provided by Example 2 is significantly reduced, the adsorption bed resistance is reduced to 1.5-2.5 kPa, the dead space volume ratio is ≤8%, and the comprehensive energy consumption is reduced by 20%-35%;
[0102] (3) The Fluent software was used to construct the three-dimensional geometric model of the two kinds of radial auxiliary towers, and the running stability of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 was calculated by multiple simulation groups. The results show that, compared with Comparative Example 2, the running stability of the process provided by Example 2 is significantly enhanced, and the coal gas flow in Example 2 can adapt to ±20% fluctuation.
[0103] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
