Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of product synthesis technology, specifically to a ratio adjustment device, synthesis apparatus, and synthesis method for methanol reforming products, and more particularly to a ratio adjustment device for methanol reforming products, a synthesis apparatus based on methanol reforming, and a synthesis method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in order to promote the goal of carbon neutrality, the use of renewable biomass gasification to produce syngas and the downstream production of green chemicals have become key research directions, especially the conversion of biomass energy into liquid fuels. However, biomass gasification technology and equipment are still in the research and development stage.
[0003] If the purpose is only to conduct subsequent chemical synthesis experiments, the source of syngas may be the coal gasification process. Syngas produced by this process is relatively low-cost and the technology is mature. However, the problem is that the syngas produced by coal gasification contains sulfur of different components, which will cause catalyst poisoning in subsequent chemical synthesis and affect the performance evaluation of the catalyst.
[0004] Based on this, the commonly used chemical pilot-scale experimental system is the methanol reforming gasification system, which uses syngas, carbon dioxide-rich syngas hydrogenation, and pure carbon dioxide hydrogenation as raw materials. By adjusting the reaction between methanol and water, a variety of raw materials with different ratios can be supplied, and the technology is relatively mature.
[0005] For example, CN100406375C describes a method for producing hydrogen from methanol through reforming, belonging to the field of industrial gas preparation technology. The method involves mixing methanol and water, pressurizing the mixture, and feeding it into a vaporization superheater. Once the reaction temperature is reached, the mixture enters a converter, where it is reformed under the action of a catalyst to generate reformed gas. This reformed gas is then cooled to room temperature. The key feature is that the reformed gas is purified and then fed into a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) decarbonization unit containing a decarbonization adsorbent to remove carbon dioxide, yielding decarbonized crude hydrogen containing H2, CO, and CH4. This decarbonized crude hydrogen is then fed into a PSA hydrogen extraction unit using molecular sieves as the main adsorbent to remove all impurities, yielding product hydrogen. The tail gas from the hydrogen extraction unit is pressurized and incorporated into a methanol-water mixture from the vaporization superheater before entering the converter. The tail gas from the decarbonization unit is directly discharged.
[0006] It is known that the product gas obtained from existing methanol reforming contains a certain amount of carbon dioxide, which is usually emitted as waste gas. Furthermore, chemical synthesis experiments involving carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide-rich hydrogenation have strict requirements for carbon dioxide feedstocks. If carbon dioxide is obtained through biomass combustion, it will involve numerous processes, including raw material processing, utilization of combustion heat, and carbon dioxide purification. In addition, if carbon dioxide is obtained through capture in coal-fired power plants, similar issues arise regarding low-cost capture, transportation, and large-capacity storage. In short, these processes will significantly increase the investment in experimental research, hindering demonstration and pilot-scale chemical synthesis experiments. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail. However, the examples described below are merely simplified examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is determined by the claims. Detailed Implementation
[0042] To better illustrate the present invention and facilitate understanding of its technical solutions, typical but non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0043] This embodiment provides a device for adjusting the proportions of methanol reforming products, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the proportioning adjustment device 100 includes:
[0044] A buffer tank, wherein an annular diversion pipe 130 is provided on the outer side of the middle part of the buffer tank, the annular diversion pipe 130 is connected to the buffer tank through at least one channel, and the annular diversion pipe 130 is provided with a first outlet 131 and a second outlet 132.
[0045] A methanol reforming product inlet 110 is provided on the bottom side of the buffer tank. A baffle 111 is installed on the inner wall of the buffer tank above the methanol reforming product inlet 110. The bottom of the baffle 111 is lower than the methanol reforming product inlet 110, and the angle between the baffle 111 and the inner wall of the methanol reforming product inlet 110 is an acute angle. The lowest point of the top of the baffle 111 is higher than the highest point of the top of the methanol reforming product inlet 110. Figure 2 As shown;
[0046] The methanol reforming product inlet 110 is connected to the annular branch pipe 130 through the branch pipe 120, and the branch pipe 120 is equipped with a first valve 121.
[0047] The buffer tank is provided with a third outlet 140 at the top and a fourth outlet 150 at the bottom.
[0048] Both the third outlet 140 and the fourth outlet 150 are equipped with control valves.
[0049] A compression pump is connected to either the first outlet 131 or the second outlet 132.
[0050] An acute angle is defined as an angle greater than 0° and less than 90°.
[0051] In this embodiment, the separation principle of the proportioning adjustment device 100 is as follows:
[0052] The raw material gas mixture of H2 / CO / CO2 is input from methanol reforming product inlet 110. After passing through baffle 111, the flow direction of the raw material gas changes to promote the stratification of H2 and CO / CO2 (this has two stratification effects: first, it enables the mixed gas to flow upward and to both sides of the buffer, and the heavy fluid sinks during the upward and lateral flow; second, it prevents the raw material from mixing with the sinking CO / CO2). After stratification, the denser component CO / CO2 accumulates in the lower half of the buffer tank, especially in the narrower bottom hemispherical tank area, while the lighter component H2 accumulates in the upper half of the buffer tank, with the middle area being the mixture of H2 and CO / CO2.
[0053] The intermediate material flows through the annular diversion pipe 130, which has a first outlet 131 and a second outlet 132 at both ends. The first outlet 131 and the second outlet 132 can be connected to a compressor pump to pressurize the mixture at the rear end. When the first outlet 131 is connected to the compressor pump, the H2 / CO / CO2 mixture is diverted in the annular channel. Some of the gas flows downward into the inlet pipe (here, due to the compressor pump drawing air, the gas in the annular channel is diverted to the inlet, and the annular channel also serves to divert the denser gas to the inlet pipe, increasing the content ratio of the lighter gas component). The remaining gas enters the compressor pump, and the opening of the first valve 121 is used to adjust the ratio of H2 to CO / CO2 mixture in the compressor pump. When the second outlet 132 is connected to the compressor pump, the annular channel receives the diverted gas from the inlet pipe (the diversion branch pipe 120 tends to divert the lighter gas upward, which can also increase the content ratio of the lighter gas component). Similarly, the gas ratio can be dynamically adjusted through the second valve 400.
[0054] Furthermore, a third outlet 140 is provided at the top of the buffer tank to discharge the light gas component H2 from the buffer tank. The outlet flow rate of the third outlet 140 can be adjusted by a control valve to reduce the proportion of the light gas component at the first outlet 131 or the second outlet 132.
[0055] Furthermore, a fourth outlet 150 is provided at the bottom of the buffer tank to discharge the CO / CO2 mixture, which is denser gas component, from the buffer tank. The outlet flow rate of the fourth outlet 150 can be adjusted by a control valve to increase the proportion of low-density gas component at the first outlet 131 or the second outlet 132.
[0056] In summary, although the product obtained at the bottom of the reforming reactor 500 is a mixture of H2 / CO / CO2, the controllable proportion of the H2 / CO / CO2 mixture raw material can be supplied to the subsequent chemical synthesis section under the combined effects of vertical stratification by the column buffer, circulation and accumulation of heavy gas components in the annular channel, bottom discharge of heavy gas components, and regulation by the light and heavy component control valve.
[0057] Therefore, the composition of the feed gas can be controlled using a proportioning adjustment device, allowing for the preparation of feed gas with different component ratios required for the synthesis of various high-value chemicals. The concentration error of the prepared feed gas is <10%, as shown in Table 1. Based on the endothermic and exothermic characteristics of the reaction process, a reaction heat recovery system can be matched to the synthesis system to achieve full utilization of energy.
[0058] Table 1
[0059]
[0060]
[0061] Furthermore, the annular diverter 130 is connected to the buffer tank through at least one channel, the specific connection to which can be selected based on the separation requirements. For example, if the annular diverter 130 is selected to connect to the buffer tank through three channels, then... Figure 3 As shown, the annular shunt pipe 130 is connected to the buffer tank via the first channel 133, the second channel 134, and the third channel 135.
[0062] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a synthesis apparatus based on methanol reforming, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the methanol reforming-based synthesis apparatus includes:
[0063] It includes a methanol reforming unit, a proportioning adjustment device 100 as described above, and a synthesis unit connected in sequence.
[0064] The product outlet of the methanol reforming unit is connected to the methanol reforming product inlet 110;
[0065] The feed inlet of the synthesis unit is connected to either the first outlet 131 or the second outlet 132.
[0066] Furthermore, the feed inlet of the synthesis unit is connected to either the first outlet 131 or the second outlet 132 via a compression pump.
[0067] In this invention, the methanol reforming unit includes equipment capable of realizing methanol steam reforming reaction and / or methanol reforming reaction.
[0068] Specifically, methanol steam can be reformed to produce a mixed feed gas containing CO2, CO, and H2. By adjusting the ratio of methanol to water, temperature, and type of catalyst, feed gas with different compositions can be obtained, which can then be used to synthesize various chemicals. The main chemical reactions occurring in the methanol reforming reactor 500 are as follows:
[0069] CH3OH + H2O → CO2 + 3H2
[0070] CH3OH→CO+2H2
[0071] When the methanol / water molar ratio is less than or equal to 1:1, the mixed gas theoretically consists mainly of CO2 and H2, with a molar ratio close to 1:3. When the methanol / water molar ratio is greater than 1:1, the mixed gas theoretically contains CO2, CO, and H2, with a (CO2+CO) / H2 molar ratio between 1:3 and 1:2. When the feedstock is only methanol, the mixed gas theoretically consists mainly of CO and H2, with a CO / H2 molar ratio around 1:2. In summary, by changing the molar ratio of methanol and water, the carbon-hydrogen molar ratio in the feedstock gas can be controlled within the range of 1:3 to 1:2.
[0072] Furthermore, when the composition of the raw material gas required for the synthesis of chemicals is not within the above range, the mixed gas prepared above can be appropriately separated to obtain a mixed gas with a specific composition for subsequent chemical preparation.
[0073] For example, the methanol reforming unit includes a methanol-water storage device 200, a first pump 300, a first heat exchanger 510, a second heat exchanger 520, and a reforming reactor 500 connected in sequence.
[0074] A second valve 400 is installed on the pipeline between the first pump 300 and the first heat exchanger 510.

[0076] The outlet of the heating device 540 is connected to the bottom side inlet of the reforming reactor 500.

[0078] The synthesis unit includes a synthesis reactor 600 and a heat exchange device 620.

[0080] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a synthesis method based on methanol reforming, the synthesis method based on methanol reforming comprising:

A second valve 400 is installed on the pipeline between the first pump 300 and the first heat exchanger 510. The top side outlet of the reforming reactor 500 is connected in sequence to the second heat exchanger 520, the first heat exchanger 510, the second pump 530, and a heating device 540. The outlet of the heating device 540 is connected to the bottom side inlet of the reforming reactor 500. The product outlet of the reforming reactor 500 is connected to the methanol reforming product inlet 110.
[0091] The proportioning adjustment device 100 includes: a buffer tank, an annular diversion pipe 130 disposed on the outer side of the middle part of the buffer tank, the annular diversion pipe 130 being connected to the buffer tank through three channels, such as a first channel 133, a second channel 134, and a third channel 135; the annular diversion pipe 130 being provided with a first outlet 131 and a second outlet 132; a methanol reforming product inlet 110 disposed on the bottom side of the buffer tank, the methanol reforming product inlet 110 being provided with a baffle 111 on the inner wall of the buffer tank; the baffle 111...
