Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of preparing methanol by hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, in particular to a zero-carbon emission carbon dioxide hydrogenation system for preparing methanol. Background Art
[0002] The raw materials for the carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol reaction are carbon dioxide and hydrogen. There is a reverse reaction of the conversion reaction during the reaction process. The reaction formula is as follows:
[0003] CO 2 +H 2 →CO+H 2 O△H=-41.2kJ / mol
[0004] The final reaction is CO and CO 2 The main reaction formula of the process of producing methanol under the action of catalyst is as follows:
[0005] CO+2H 2 →CH 3 OH△H=90.73kJ / mol
[0006] CO 2 +3H 2 →CH 3 OH+H 2 O△H=48.02kJ / mol
[0007] The reverse reaction of the shift reaction is an endothermic reaction, and high temperature is conducive to the reaction proceeding to the right. Methanol synthesis is an exothermic reaction, and low temperature is conducive to the reaction proceeding to the right. Therefore, methanol synthesis is generally carried out in the range of 200-260°C, and the reverse reaction of the shift reaction is not deep at this time; when the temperature is raised to above 300°C, or even above 350°C, the methanol synthesis reaction becomes less, and a large amount of carbon dioxide is converted into carbon monoxide through reverse transformation. The heat release of synthesizing methanol from the same mole of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide is nearly doubled, and the reaction rate of synthesizing methanol from carbon monoxide is much faster. Synthesizing methanol from carbon monoxide is more conducive to the comprehensive utilization of reaction rate and heat.
[0008] Patent CN107285995A proposes a method for preparing methanol using carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Methanol is prepared indirectly by reverse water gas shift reaction + methanol synthesis reaction. A multi-stage adiabatic fixed bed reactor is used in the reverse water gas shift reaction unit to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide at high temperature, thereby increasing the carbon monoxide content entering the methanol synthesis unit, and improving the carbon dioxide conversion rate and methanol yield. However, this method requires the introduction of external heat and the addition of multi-stage adiabatic reactors to achieve reverse conversion.
[0009] Patent CN101386564B proposes a process for synthesizing methanol from hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The method of synthesizing methanol by setting up a two-stage reactor can improve the methanol conversion rate. However, due to the reaction balance of carbon dioxide, the conversion rate and reaction speed are low, and the synthesis and distillation heat are difficult to couple.
[0010] Patents CN218452168U, CN216550214U and other patents all propose two or more stages of methanol synthesis reaction, which can achieve a higher conversion rate, but there are problems such as carbon emissions from the purge gas.
[0011] Based on existing patents and technologies, the current process of synthesizing methanol from carbon dioxide hydrogenation has the following problems:
[0012] (1) In the existing process, the purge gas, flash gas, and non-condensable gas at the top of the pre-tower are discharged to the flare system, which still generates carbon emissions.
[0013] (2) The direct hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol has low heat of reaction, large circulation ratio, and is difficult to couple with distillation. Even if low-level heat is used for coupling, the area of the reboiler needs to be designed to be very large.
[0014] (3) For methanol synthesis processes with two or more stages, the methanol tower occupies a relatively large area. Utility Model Content
[0015] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a zero-carbon emission carbon dioxide hydrogenation methanol system. This is a new system designed for the characteristics of carbon dioxide hydrogenation methanol device, such as low reaction heat, large circulation ratio, and difficulty in thermal coupling with distillation; carbon emission still exists in the purge gas, flash gas, and non-condensable gas at the top of the pre-tower; and the methanol tower of the two-stage and above methanol synthesis system occupies a relatively large area.
[0016] In this system, the high temperature required for reverse conversion is provided by introducing a heating furnace to use the purge gas, flash steam, and non-condensable gas at the top of the pre-tower as fuel. After the reverse conversion, the temperature of the methanol synthesis gas is still very high, which can meet the heat required by the reboiler of the pressurized distillation tower, and the temperature difference of the shell and tube is ≥20°C, which is a high-quality waste heat. By absorbing the carbon dioxide generated by the combustion of the purge gas, flash steam, and non-condensable gas at the top of the pre-tower, it is analyzed and pressurized and supplemented into the system as carbon dioxide to achieve zero carbon emission. The adiabatic section of methanol synthesis based on reverse conversion and the isothermal section of methanol synthesis based on methanol synthesis are combined into a methanol synthesis tower to simplify the process and equipment footprint.
