Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of carbon capture and combustion and composite metal materials, specifically to a composite oxygen carrier, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] High-calorific-value mixed gas from petrochemical plants is a common industrial byproduct of the petrochemical industry. Currently, the main method of disposal is combustion into carbon dioxide and water in small-powered heaters, thereby achieving purification. However, heating furnaces of a certain scale for handling high-calorific-value mixed gas from petrochemical plants suffer from low combustion efficiency, severe carbon buildup, and high NO emissions. x High concentration and large fluctuations in tail gas oxygen content are among the technological challenges that make it difficult to handle the complex and ever-changing high-calorific-value petrochemical mixtures. Secondly, high-calorific-value petrochemical mixtures are also a high-quality energy source; the heat released during their conversion and combustion can provide thermal energy and steam for petroleum cracking and other steps in petrochemical processes, improving the technical and economic efficiency of petroleum refining systems.
[0003] In the petrochemical industry, heating furnaces account for approximately 80% of CO2 emissions, making CO2 emission reduction imperative. Chemical looping combustion is a highly efficient flameless and oxygen-free combustion technology that divides conventional combustion into two gentle reduction and oxidation reactions, improving the cascade utilization of chemical energy while achieving low-cost CO2 capture. Due to the uniform, weakly oxidizing reaction environment and lower reaction temperature, NO in the flue gas is significantly reduced. x The release rate is relatively low. In summary, chemical looping combustion can be considered a revolutionary combustion technology. Using high-calorific-value petrochemical mixtures in chemical looping combustion, a new generation of carbon capture technology, offers advantages such as low energy consumption, large-scale CO2 emission reduction, and low NOx emissions. x Combustion characteristics are expected to become an important direction for the development of CCUS technology in petrochemical enterprises.
[0004] However, current chemical looping combustion technology focuses on the combustion conversion of single-component fuels. The preparation and performance of conventional oxygen carriers are difficult to meet the requirements of chemical looping combustion of complex and variable petrochemical high-calorific-value mixtures. Technical problems such as low combustion efficiency, poor combustion stability, low reactivity, and low carbon capture efficiency urgently need to be overcome.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a composite oxygen carrier, its preparation method, and its application, which can improve combustion efficiency, combustion stability, and reactivity. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of low combustion efficiency, poor combustion stability, low reactivity, and low carbon capture efficiency of oxygen carriers in the chemical looping combustion of high-calorific-value petrochemical mixed gases in the prior art. This invention provides a composite oxygen carrier, its preparation method, and its application. The composite oxygen carrier described in this invention has excellent reactivity, cycle stability, and anti-carbon deposition performance of multi-component high-calorific-value petrochemical mixed gases, and its synthesis method and raw material sources are abundant and the preparation cost is low.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a composite oxygen carrier, the method comprising the following steps:

[0027] The third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned composite oxygen carrier in the chemical looping combustion of high-calorific-value petrochemical mixed gases.
[0028] Through the above technical solution, the biomass particles are dried and activated, resulting in abundant and interconnected pores in the biomass structure. This allows soluble metal salts to more easily penetrate the biomass template and enter the inner layer of the particles, leading to high loading efficiency and a significant increase in loading capacity. Furthermore, during high-temperature calcination, biomass can be removed through air combustion, producing a porous metal oxide composite oxygen carrier that facilitates gas-solid contact. This composite oxygen carrier has a specific surface area that can be increased by 2 to 5 times, exhibiting highly efficient conversion characteristics and carbon capture efficiency in the chemical looping combustion of petrochemical gas. The composite oxygen carrier described in this invention is a porous metal oxide with relatively stable oxygen-carrying capacity, lattice oxygen transport capacity, and structural characteristics in the chemical looping combustion of high-calorific-value mixed gases in high-temperature petrochemical processes, and exhibits strong resistance to breakage. Therefore, the composite oxygen carrier described in this invention, prepared using soluble metal salts, possesses good anti-sintering ability and the ability to oxidize mixed alkane fuels, making it suitable for carbon capture of high-calorific-value gases in petrochemical processes.

Then the composite oxygen carrier with a particle size greater than 1.5mm is ground, and the composite oxygen carrier with a particle size range of 0.15-1.5mm is selected by sieving again. This process is repeated until the particle size of the prepared composite oxygen carrier is 0.15-1.5mm. In addition, the composite oxygen carrier with a particle size less than 0.15mm is dissolved as a raw material in the active metal soluble salt solution obtained after activation in step (1).
[0053] In other embodiments, the method for preparing the composite oxygen carrier of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0054] (1) Dry the biomass pellets at a temperature of 95-120℃ for 5-24 hours, then crush them, and screen the crushed biomass pellet templates to obtain biomass pellet templates with a particle size of 0.1-2mm.
[0055] (2) An active metal soluble salt solution with a metal cation concentration of 0.05-1 mol / L is activated by passing an activating substance with a concentration of 0.005-0.01 mol / L at a temperature of 50-80℃ and a stirring rate of 20-30 r / min for 15-18 h. The activated active metal soluble salt solution, biomass pellet template and adhesive are mixed to obtain a mixed solution. In the mixed solution, the concentration of adhesive is 0.002-0.005 mol / L.
[0056] (3) The mixed solution is stirred at a temperature of 50-80℃ and a stirring rate of 27-32 r / min for 24-30 h, then dried at a temperature of 95-105℃ for 24-30 h, heated to 950-1050℃ at a heating rate of 3-6℃ / min, and then calcined at a temperature of 950-1050℃ for 24-30 h. The composite oxygen carrier with a particle size range of 0.2-1.5 mm is selected by sieving. Then the composite oxygen carrier with a particle size greater than 1.5 mm is ground, and the composite oxygen carrier with a particle size range of 0.2-1.5 mm is selected by sieving again. This process is repeated until the particle size of the prepared composite oxygen carrier is 0.2-1.5 mm. In addition, the composite oxygen carrier with a particle size less than 0.2 mm is dissolved as a raw material in the active metal soluble salt solution obtained after activation in step (2).
[0057] This invention also provides a composite oxygen carrier prepared by the above-described method. The composite oxygen carrier according to this invention has a porous structure with a high specific surface area, which improves oxygen carrying capacity and lattice oxygen transport capacity, facilitating gas-solid contact. In the chemical looping combustion of petrochemical refining gas, it exhibits certain anti-sintering ability and the ability to oxidize mixed alkane fuel gas, displaying highly efficient conversion characteristics and carbon capture efficiency.
[0058] In the composite oxygen carrier described in this invention, in order to increase the specific surface area of the oxygen carrier and thus improve its performance, the particle size of the composite oxygen carrier is preferably 0.15-1.5 mm, more preferably 0.2-1.5 mm.
[0059] In some embodiments, the active component of the composite oxygen carrier is iron oxide, and the inert component is aluminum oxide. In other embodiments, the active components of the composite oxygen carrier are nickel oxide and iron oxide. In still other embodiments, the active components of the composite oxygen carrier are copper oxide and iron oxide, and the inert component is aluminum oxide. Different metal oxides are uniformly mixed to form a composite oxygen carrier with good particle uniformity.
[0060] In some embodiments, the composition of the metal oxide in the composite oxygen carrier of the present invention can be adjusted over a wide range according to the gas composition of the petrochemical high-calorific-value mixed gas. When the total mass concentration of high-carbon alkanes such as ethane and propane (alkanes with more than two carbon atoms in their molecules) in the petrochemical high-calorific-value mixed gas is above 50%, the composite oxygen carrier can be a metal oxide with higher activity, such as nickel oxide or copper oxide. When the mass concentration of methane is below 50%, the composite oxygen carrier can be iron oxide, which has lower cost.
[0061] This invention also provides the application of the aforementioned composite oxygen carrier in the chemical looping combustion of high-calorific-value petrochemical mixed gases. According to the application described in this invention, the composite oxygen carrier is a porous metal oxide, whose oxygen-carrying capacity, lattice oxygen transport capacity, and structural characteristics are relatively stable and have strong resistance to breakage in the chemical looping combustion of high-temperature petrochemical mixed gases. It also possesses good anti-sintering ability and the ability to oxidize mixed alkane fuels.
