Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clean utilization and efficient conversion of biomass energy, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-quality hydrogen by baking and coupling gasification of reed in oxygen-rich flue gas. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a high-yield perennial herb energy plant, reed has the advantages of fast growth, high yield and strong adaptability, and is widely considered as an important raw material for future biomass energy. However, the reed raw material has defects such as high moisture content, high O / C ratio, low calorific value and high ash content, and direct gasification often leads to poor gas quality and low reaction efficiency, especially the hydrogen production rate is difficult to meet the industrial application demand.

[0003] However, the existing nitrogen (N2) atmosphere baking method can improve the properties of the raw material to a certain extent, but due to the lack of effective carbon conversion and ash activation regulation, the reaction activity and gasification performance of the obtained baking product are still limited.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a reed pretreatment and conversion method which can not only improve the properties of the reed raw material, but also strengthen the hydrogen production reaction in the gasification process to meet the demand for green hydrogen and synthetic fuel preparation. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application relates to the technical field of clean utilization and efficient conversion of biomass energy, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-quality hydrogen by baking and coupling gasification of reed in oxygen-rich flue gas.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned application purposes, the present application provides the following technical solutions: The present application provides a method for preparing high-quality hydrogen by baking and coupling gasification of reed in oxygen-rich flue gas, comprising the following steps: Pretreatment: crushing and drying the reed to obtain pretreated reed; Oxygen-rich flue gas baking: baking the pretreated reed in a first oxygen-rich flue gas atmosphere to obtain baked material; Gasification: gasifying the baked material in a second oxygen-rich flue gas atmosphere to collect the gas product, thereby completing the preparation of high-quality hydrogen by baking and coupling gasification of reed in oxygen-rich flue gas.

[0007] Preferably, the moisture content of the pretreated reed is ≤3%.

[0008] Preferably, the baking temperature is 220-300℃, and the baking time is 15-45min.

[0009] Preferably, the first oxygen-rich flue gas comprises CO2 and O2, the volume fraction of CO2 in the first oxygen-rich flue gas is 88-95%, and the volume fraction of O2 in the first oxygen-rich flue gas is 5-12%.

[0010] As preferred, the temperature of the gasification is 700-900℃.

[0011] As preferred, the second oxygen-enriched flue gas comprises CO2 and O2; the volume fraction of CO2 in the second oxygen-enriched flue gas is 88-95%; the volume fraction of O2 in the second oxygen-enriched flue gas is 5-12%.

[0012] As preferred, the gaseous product is used for preparing hydrogen-rich synthesis gas.

[0013] Via the technical solution described above, compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: (1) Significant improvement of feed quality: using oxygen-enriched flue gas (CO2+O2) as the roasting atmosphere, the raw material shows obvious quality improvement. After roasting, the O / C ratio decreases significantly, while the H / C ratio remains at a high level, indicating that the carbon skeleton structure is optimized while still retaining strong hydrogen-empowering potential. At the same time, the high heating value (HHV) of the raw material is improved, the fuel quality is significantly improved, and the flue ratio is reduced, showing that the hindering effect of ash on the gasification reaction is effectively weakened. Compared with the roasting effect under nitrogen atmosphere, the oxygen-enriched flue gas condition not only more effectively promotes the deoxidation process of the raw material, but also significantly enhances the quality improvement effect, thereby providing a higher quality solid fuel basis for subsequent gasification reactions.

[0014] (2) Improvement of gas composition: using oxygen-enriched flue gas (CO2+O2) as the gasification agent for roasting products shows significant advantages over inert nitrogen conditions. Experimental results show that the hydrogen proportion in the oxygen-enriched flue gas gasification process can reach 10.2%, which is significantly higher than the 7.3% under nitrogen atmosphere; the carbon monoxide (CO) proportion is increased to 17.2%, which is almost twice the 8.8% under nitrogen atmosphere; the final synthesis gas (H2+CO) content reaches 27.4%, which is nearly 70% higher than the 16.1% under nitrogen atmosphere, reflecting a strong synergistic effect. Further analysis shows that the product after oxygen-enriched flue gas roasting exhibits the best reaction activity under oxygen-enriched flue gas gasification conditions, with the largest increase in hydrogen yield, indicating that both the water gas reaction (C+H2O→CO+H2) and the CO2 gasification reaction (C+CO2→2CO) are significantly promoted; at the same time, the simultaneous increase in CO and H2 content not only improves the gasification efficiency, but also ensures that the obtained gas has higher synthetic fuel value, highlighting the unique advantages of the oxygen-enriched flue gas roasting-gasification integrated technology.

[0015] (3) Coupling gain: oxygen-enriched flue gas baking makes the feedstock "cleaner and carbon more concentrated", and oxygen-enriched flue gas gasification makes "carbon more efficiently converted into CO / H2", and the coupling of the two achieves the synergy of "feedstock grade quality improvement" and "high-temperature reaction efficiency improvement" as a whole, reduces the risk of equipment slagging and improves the effective gasification output per unit of raw material.

[0016] (4) Environmental and system benefits: industrial flue gas / CO2 can be used as process gas to achieve short-range recycling of CO2; in large-scale applications, CO2 direct discharge intensity can be reduced, and energy / material coupling recovery can be achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present application provides a method for preparing high-quality hydrogen by oxygen-enriched flue gas baking and coupling gasification of reed, the process flow diagram of which is shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps: Pre-treatment: crushing and drying reed to obtain pre-treated reed; Oxygen-enriched flue gas baking: baking the pre-treated reed under a first oxygen-enriched flue gas atmosphere to obtain baked material; Gasification: gasifying the baked material under a second oxygen-enriched flue gas atmosphere to collect the gas product, i.e., completing the preparation of high-quality hydrogen by oxygen-enriched flue gas baking and coupling gasification of reed.

[0020] In the present application, the moisture content of the pre-treated reed is preferably ≤3%, further preferably 2-3%, and more preferably 2.6%.

[0021] In the present application, the baking temperature is preferably 220-300°C, further preferably 250-280°C, and more preferably 260°C; and the baking time is preferably 15-45 min, further preferably 30-40 min, and more preferably 30 min.

[0022] In the present application, the first oxygen-enriched flue gas preferably comprises CO2 and O2; the volume fraction of CO2 in the first oxygen-enriched flue gas is preferably 88-95%, further preferably 89-92%, and more preferably 90%; the volume fraction of O2 in the first oxygen-enriched flue gas is preferably 5-12%, further preferably 8-11%, and more preferably 10%. Through the oxygen-enriched flue gas roasting process, the present application can effectively reduce the O / C ratio of the bamboo sample, maintain the H / C ratio, reduce part of the volatile matter, significantly improve the high heating value (HHV) of the solid product, and reduce the flue ratio, so as to exhibit better pyrolysis-gasification reactivity and high-quality hydrogen product generation potential in the subsequent gasification process.

[0023] In the present application, the temperature of the gasification is preferably 700-900℃, further preferably 780-820℃, and more preferably 800℃.

[0024] In the present application, the second oxygen-enriched flue gas preferably comprises CO2 and O2; the volume fraction of CO2 in the second oxygen-enriched flue gas is preferably 88-95%, further preferably 89-92%, and more preferably 90%; the volume fraction of O2 in the second oxygen-enriched flue gas is preferably 5-12%, further preferably 8-11%, and more preferably 10%. Through the oxygen-enriched flue gas gasification process, CO2 can effectively promote the conversion of carbon sequestration to CO through the Boudouard reaction (C+CO2→2CO), and synergistically act with the water gas reaction (C+H2O→CO+H2), so as to significantly promote the generation of H2 while improving the CO content in the synthesis gas, and effectively regulate the H2 / CO ratio.

[0025] In the present application, the product gas is sampled in real time online, and the main components such as CO, H2, CO2, CH4 and N2 are analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), and the obtained data can be used as a control basis for process operation, and also provides scientific support for product gas quality evaluation and subsequent optimization.

[0026] In the present application, the gas product also includes downstream conversion, for example, the gas product is used to prepare hydrogen-rich synthesis gas. The present application does not limit the specific method of downstream conversion, and the conventional method in the art can be used. For example, the method of downstream conversion is: the gas product is dedusted and condensed to remove tar, and then adjusted for CO2 content through water washing or absorption process, and then desulfurized to obtain clean gas; according to different target products, the clean gas is deeply purified and the composition is regulated by pressure swing adsorption (PSA), membrane separation or catalytic shift, so as to effectively improve the hydrogen purity or adjust the H2 / CO ratio; the purified gas is directly introduced into a synthesis device to prepare high-value-added fuels, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis or methanol synthesis.

[0027] In the present application, the unreacted CO2 in the tail gas generated in the gasification process is recycled to the roasting process or the oxygen-enriched flue gas atmosphere of the gasification process after being collected and compressed, thereby achieving efficient recycling of carbon resources. At the same time, the heat released in the gasification process is utilized through waste heat recovery to compensate for the energy consumption of the roasting process and assist in drying the raw materials, thereby building a closed-loop system of energy and matter, which not only improves the overall energy efficiency of the system, but also further enhances the environmental friendliness and economic feasibility of the process.
