Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coal gas resource utilization, in particular to a comprehensive utilization system for synthesizing methanol from blast furnace gas and coke oven gas. Background Art

[0002] The steel industry is a major CO2 emitter, accounting for about 15% of the country's carbon emissions, of which by-product gas (blast furnace gas, converter gas, coke oven gas) is the main source of carbon emissions. At present, using it through power generation, combustion and other means not only causes waste of resources, but also pollutes the environment. Therefore, improving the utilization rate of gas resources and reducing carbon emissions have become urgent needs for the sustainable development of the steel industry.

[0003] The steel and petrochemical co-production not only enables efficient utilization of by-product gas from steel mills, but also promotes the diversified supply of chemical raw materials. Most importantly, it can fix the carbon elements emitted by the steel industry and achieve the goal of carbon reduction. The development of steel and petrochemical co-production in the steel industry focuses on separating and purifying the effective components (H2, CO, CO2, CH4, etc.) in the by-product gas of steel mills as raw materials, and synthesizing chemical products such as methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, urea, etc. Methanol is widely used as a chemical raw material and green fuel, and has a large market capacity. Separating and purifying CO2 and H2 from steel mill gas through steel and petrochemical co-production and synthesizing high-value methanol is an effective way to reduce carbon and increase efficiency.

[0004] The patent application with publication number CN116397062A provides a near-zero carbon emission blast furnace long-process tempering co-production process and system thereof, in which blast furnace gas is decarbonized by pressure swing adsorption to separate desorbed gas and decarbonized gas; desorbed gas is purified by liquefied distillation to obtain liquid carbon dioxide; part of the decarbonized gas is recycled to the blast furnace, and the other part is mixed with refined converter gas and coke oven gas converted by light hydrocarbons to separate CO+N2 and H2 logistics for synthesizing ethylene glycol. This process and system solidify "carbon" emissions into liquid carbon dioxide products through steel-coke fusion and tempering co-production; but CO2 is not directly fixed as a high-value product, and the subsequent CO2 treatment process is added.

[0005] The patent application with publication number CN116947619A provides a process and system for producing acetic acid by dry reforming and carbonylation synthesis of methane-rich gas. The method uses methane-rich gas and CO2 as raw materials, and obtains acetic acid products through dry reforming reaction, CO2 separation, CO separation, methanol synthesis, carbonylation synthesis and other processes. The process and system make full use of methane-rich gas to produce acetic acid, reducing the emission of greenhouse gas CO2 in the traditional acetic acid preparation process; however, the source of CO2 raw gas is unknown, the process flow is long, and no effective treatment is performed on steel plant coal gas. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the tail gas outlet of the No. 1 pressure swing adsorption device is connected to the gas pipeline network.
