Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of CCUS, and particularly relates to a carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol system with local circulation. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of renewable resource power generation technology and large-scale electrolytic water hydrogen production technology, the production cost of electrolytic water hydrogen production is gradually approaching the existing industrial hydrogen production cost level, and it is expected to drop to 0.8 - 1.0 yuan / Nm 3 , and large-scale industrial production is gradually realized. Currently, the single-set electrolytic water hydrogen production scale in China can reach more than 1000 Nm 3 / h. The significant reduction in the cost of green hydrogen provides a major opportunity for the industrial promotion of the technical route of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to high-value chemicals. Among them, carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol is one of the important technical routes, because methanol can be directly used as a transportation and thermal power fuel, can be used as a raw material for methanol fuel cell vehicles, and can also be used as an important chemical raw material to further synthesize chemicals such as olefins, aromatics, and oxygen-containing compounds, thereby realizing carbon dioxide circulation and the "methanol economy".

[0003] Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol has a significant carbon reduction effect. Each ton of methanol can absorb and convert 1.375 tons of carbon dioxide. The existing industrial methanol production capacity in China reaches 100 million tons / year, and the output is close to 80 million tons / year. If it is all replaced by methanol produced from carbon dioxide in the future, 110 million tons of carbon dioxide can be directly absorbed and converted annually. Calculated based on the proportion of coal-to-methanol (~3.20 tons of CO2 / ton of methanol) accounting for 76.93%, natural gas-to-methanol accounting for 10.01% (1.911 tons of CO2 / ton of methanol), and coke oven gas-to-methanol accounting for 13.06% (2.963 tons of CO2 / ton of methanol) in China's methanol industry in recent years, the total carbon dioxide emissions from the methanol industry are about 246.6 million tons / year, and the total annual emission reduction from the methanol industry alone is about 356.6 million tons.

[0004] In this context, an effective carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol process technology is particularly important.

[0005] In the current carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol process technology, without recycling, two-stage methanol synthesis towers in series are required to convert 50% of carbon dioxide, seven-stage methanol synthesis towers in series are required to convert 90% of carbon dioxide, and thirteen-stage methanol synthesis towers in series are required to convert 99% of carbon dioxide. Obviously, the equipment investment for too many series-connected methanol synthesis towers will also increase continuously. Recycle gas can synthesize methanol from feed gas with a low carbon dioxide content at a higher conversion rate. In the prior art, Chinese Patent CN102516029A discloses a method for synthesizing methanol with full recycle. This method has a large recycle volume and high energy consumption. Chinese Patent CN105622344A discloses a methanol synthesis method that couples reverse conversion and synthesis. This method also adopts a full recycle process and has high energy consumption. Chinese Patent CN215288580U discloses a method for synthesizing methanol by hydrogenating carbon dioxide without recycle, which requires more than three stages of methanol synthesis towers in series. The energy consumption is very low, but the equipment investment and catalyst consumption are relatively high. Utility Model Content

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] Based on Embodiment 1, a carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol system with a partial loop in this embodiment has the following differences:

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the raw material gas treatment section includes a carbon dioxide compressor C1101, a hydrolysis desulfurization device, and a hydrodesulfurization device. The hydrolysis desulfurization device includes a desulfurization heater E1101 and a desulfurization steam heater E1102, and the hydrodesulfurization device includes a hydrodesulfurizer R1101 and a desulfurization tower T1101.

[0053] The inlet of the carbon dioxide compressor C1101 is connected to the carbon dioxide raw material gas source for compressing the raw material carbon dioxide. The desulfurization heater E1101, the desulfurization steam heater E1102, the hydrodesulfurizer R1101, and the desulfurization tower T1101 are sequentially connected to the outlet end of the carbon dioxide compressor C1101.

[0054] In this embodiment, the organic sulfur and inorganic sulfur in the carbon dioxide gas source can adopt a combined process of hydrolysis desulfurization and hydrodesulfurization, which can ensure that the total sulfur is reduced to less than 1 ppm.

[0055] A part of the hydrogen raw material gas is connected to the pipeline where the carbon dioxide compressor C1101 is connected to the desulfurization heater E1101, and enters the desulfurization heater E1101 and the desulfurization steam heater E1102 together with the pressurized carbon dioxide. After heat exchange with the desulfurized syngas, the temperature is increased; the other part is connected to the pipeline where the desulfurization heater E1101 outputs to the gas-gas heat exchanger in the first-stage synthesis section, and is mixed with the heated carbon dioxide and then enters the first-stage gas-gas heat exchanger E1103 in the first-stage synthesis section together to further increase the temperature of the mixed raw material gas.

[0056] In this embodiment, taking the utilization of carbon dioxide from low-temperature methanol washing of coal gasification as an example, the working process of the system is as follows:

[0057] The temperature of the raw material carbon dioxide is 25 °C, the pressure is 0.15 MPaG, the flow rate is 13403 kg / hr, and the mass composition of carbon dioxide is CO2: 98.5%; H2: 1.5%, and both organic sulfur and inorganic sulfur are 10 ppm.

[0058] The temperature of the raw material hydrogen is 25 °C, the pressure is 2.5 MPaG, the flow rate is 1815 kg / hr, and the mass composition of hydrogen is H2: 99.9%; CH4: 0.1%.

[0060] 2) After pressurization, 1% of raw material hydrogen is incorporated into carbon dioxide. After heat exchange with desulfurized syngas, the temperature is increased to 150 °C, and then it enters a steam heater to be heated to 180 °C. The steam used is by-product steam from synthesis;

[0061] 3) After the temperature is increased, carbon dioxide successively enters two-stage hydrogenation and one-stage desulfurization to reduce the total sulfur to below 1 ppm;

[0062] 4) After desulfurization, carbon dioxide is mixed with the remaining raw material hydrogen and enters the tube side of a gas-gas heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the gas from the outlet of the synthesis tower. The temperature is increased to 200 °C and then it enters the first-stage synthesis tower R1102. The outlet temperature of the syngas is 230 °C, and the excess heat is used to produce by-product steam;

[0063] 5) After the syngas preheats the raw material gas, it enters a primary vapor-liquid separator to separate most of the water and methanol, and the temperature drops to 40 °C;

[0064] 6) After the initial water separation, the syngas enters a high-efficiency vapor-liquid separator to continue separating as much water as possible;

[0065] 7) The syngas coming out of the first-stage synthesis section is incorporated with a part of carbon dioxide to make the hydrogen-carbon ratio at the inlet of the second stage 2, and then continue with second-stage synthesis and second-stage water separation;

[0066] 8) The syngas coming out of the second-stage synthesis section enters the third-stage synthesis section to continue with third-stage synthesis and third-stage water separation; The third-stage synthesis uses a reciprocating machine to compress and recycle the syngas, and the recycle ratio is 3.2;

[0067] 9) The mixed liquid of methanol and water separated from each stage of the synthesis section is collected in a flash tank V1107, and the flash pressure is 0.4 MPaG to obtain crude methanol for rectification and separation.

[0068] Methanol is produced through the above process, and the carbon dioxide emissions from the low-temperature methanol wash in coal gasification are also reduced. The entire system has the advantages of simple process, convenient control, remarkable water separation effect, high total conversion rate, and appropriate investment and energy consumption.

[0069] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
