DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] The overall process diagram of an energy utilization system for electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen coupled with solid waste incineration is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a water electrolysis hydrogen production system and a solid waste incineration system:
[0018] The water electrolysis hydrogen production system comprises an electrolyzer 1, a hydrogen gas-water separator 2, an oxygen gas-water separator 3, a hydrogen purification device 4, an oxygen purification device 5, a hydrogen storage device 6, an oxygen storage device 7, a waste heat recovery system 8, an electrolyte filter 9, and an electrolyte replenishing device 10;
[0019] The solid waste incineration system includes a waste heat utilization system 12 , an airflow drying device 14 , an incinerator 17 , a waste heat boiler 18 , a flue gas treatment system 19 , and a waste heat power generation system 20 .
[0020] The electrolytic cell 1 generates hydrogen and oxygen through the electrolysis of water. Hydrogen is separated from most of the electrolyte by the hydrogen gas-water separator 2, and then further removed from the gas by the hydrogen purification device 4. The obtained pure hydrogen is output to the hydrogen storage device 6 for standby. Similarly, oxygen is separated from most of the electrolyte by the oxygen gas-water separator 3, and then further removed from the gas by the oxygen purification device 5. The obtained pure oxygen is output to the oxygen storage device 7 for standby, providing sufficient and stable oxygen for the incinerator 17 to ensure the stability and completeness of the solid waste combustion process.
[0021] The process of producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water is an exothermic process, and the temperature of the electrolyte at the outlet of the electrolyzer 1 can reach up to 95°C. In order to ensure that the temperature of the alkali solution in the electrolyzer 1 is stable within the 85°C-90°C required by the equipment, the electrolyte outlets of the hydrogen gas-water separator 2 and the oxygen gas-water separator 3 are connected to the waste heat recovery system 8, and the heat is recovered through the circulating water system 11 and then connected to the electrolyte filter 9. Temperature sensors are provided on both sides of the electrolyte inlet and outlet of the waste heat recovery system 8 to control the stability of the alkali solution temperature. The electrolyte filter 9 can remove impurities and unstable components in the alkali solution and improve the purity and stability of the electrolyte. The filtered electrolyte is sent to the electrolyzer 1 for reuse by the circulating pump.
[0022] Since the concentration of electrolyte is continuously reduced during the process of producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water, an electrolyte replenishing device 10 is provided on the electrolyte output pipeline of the electrolyte filter 9 to ensure the concentration of electrolyte and the electrolysis efficiency.
[0023] The circulating water input port of the waste heat recovery system 8 is connected to the circulating water output port of the oxygen purification device 5, and the other end of the circulating water of the oxygen purification device 5 is connected to the hydrogen purification device 4, and the circulating water input port of the hydrogen purification device 4 is connected to the output port of the circulating water system 11. The hydrogen (oxygen) purification device includes gas washing, cooling and drying. The circulating water system 11 achieves primary heat exchange by cooling the two gases, and then the waste heat recovery system 8 cools the electrolyte to achieve secondary heat exchange. The heated circulating water is transported to the waste heat utilization system 12, and the heat utilization of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system is completed through water vapor heat exchange. Finally, the circulating water after heat exchange is transported to the circulating water system 11 to achieve circulation.
[0024] The circulating air required by the airflow drying equipment 14 is heated by the circulating water in the waste heat utilization system 12, and the water in the high-water content sludge 13 is removed by hot air. The dehydrated low-water content sludge 15 and the garbage pit 16 enter the incinerator 17 through the feeding device for coupled incineration. The large amount of flue gas generated is heat-exchanged with saturated water in the waste heat boiler 18 to produce superheated steam. The flue gas after heat exchange is finally disposed of by the subsequent flue gas treatment system 19. The superheated steam generated is used to generate electricity for the waste heat power generation system 20, and the power output port is connected to the electrolyzer 1 to provide electricity for the water hydrogen production in the electrolyzer. Another power output port is connected to the power grid 21 for online sales.
