Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bamboo activated carbon production, and more specifically, to a system for utilizing exhaust gas from bamboo activated carbon production and a bamboo activated carbon production system. Background Technology
[0002] Biomass energy is the fourth largest energy source after coal, oil, and natural gas. Biomass energy uses biomass as its carrier, typically derived from firewood, straw, livestock manure, and municipal waste. Modern technologies usually convert this biomass into solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels for utilization. Bamboo energy is an important form of biomass energy, possessing advantages such as low pollution, wide distribution, abundant reserves, and renewability. my country has the world's richest bamboo resources, providing favorable conditions and an ideal environment for developing bamboo energy.
[0003] Currently, one important use of bamboo resources in my country is for the production of bamboo-based activated carbon. The production process mainly includes carbonization and activation. The carbonization process can be done once or twice. Secondary carbonization usually refers to grinding, kneading, and granulating the primary carbonized material into special shapes such as columnar, honeycomb, or spherical forms, and then performing a secondary carbonization to remove the binder used in granulation. In addition to the large amount of exhaust gas generated during the activation process, both primary and secondary carbonization processes also produce a significant amount of exhaust gas, and the composition of the exhaust gas produced by the two carbonization processes is significantly different.
[0004] Besides protective gas and water vapor, the exhaust gas produced by primary carbonization mainly consists of CO, CO2, H2, volatile organic compounds (such as alkanes, alkenes, aldehydes, etc.), organic vapors (such as terpenes, tannins, methanol, etc.), and acidic gases (such as formic acid, phenol, acetic acid, H2S, SO2, NH3, nitrogen oxides, etc.) produced by the pyrolysis of biomass components (such as lignin and hemicellulose).
[0005] The exhaust gases produced by secondary carbonization vary considerably depending on the type of binder. For example, the main components of exhaust gases from traditional secondary carbonization using asphalt or coal tar as binders are protective gases, water vapor, CO, CO2, volatile organic compounds (such as benzene, toluene, xylene, methylphenol, ethylphenol, etc.), and acidic gases (such as phenol, formic acid, acetic acid, aldehydes, nitrogen oxides, etc.), which are highly toxic. When using polymeric binders (such as starch, molasses, carboxymethyl cellulose, lignin, gelatin, chitosan, etc.), the content of volatile organic compounds and acidic gases in the secondary carbonization exhaust gases is significantly reduced, and the main components are protective gases, water vapor, CO, and CO2.
[0006] During the activation process, the activator reacts with carbon, causing erosion of the channels and generating a large number of micropores. The main components of the activated waste gas, in addition to protective gas and activator (such as water vapor, CO2, O2), also contain H2, CO, small amounts of volatile organic compounds (such as CH4, C2H4, propylene), and acidic gases (such as phenol).
[0007] If the exhaust gases generated during carbonization and activation can be converted into clean energy, the utilization rate of bamboo resources can be significantly improved. Chinese invention patent CN116332128A discloses a system and method for preparing methanol and high-quality activated carbon from biomass. This method directly uses the exhaust gases generated during activation in a water-gas conversion reaction, followed by a CO hydrogenation reaction to ultimately obtain methanol. However, on the one hand, a large amount of exhaust gas generated during carbonization is not recovered and utilized; on the other hand, directly using the activation exhaust gases for synthesis reactions easily leads to catalyst poisoning and results in low methanol purity.

[0057] The first embodiment of the method for utilizing the exhaust gas from bamboo activated carbon production includes the following steps:
[0058] The production exhaust gas is purified to remove water vapor, organic vapors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), acidic gases, and particulate impurities. The purification process includes sequential condensation, dust removal, adsorption, and deacidification. Condensation removes water vapor, VOCs, and low-boiling-point acidic gases. Filtration is preferred for dust removal. Adsorption adsorbs VOCs, preferably using activated carbon as the adsorbent. Deacidification removes residual acidic gases, preferably using a wet scrubbing tower with a circulating liquid absorbent. The purified exhaust gas has a water vapor volume fraction of 15-25%, COD ≤5 ppm, VOCs ≤3 ppm, acidic gases ≤2 ppm, and particulate matter ≤20 mg / Nm³. 3 .
[0059] The production exhaust gas is fed into a reaction device containing a Cu-Zr catalyst, where a catalytic reaction is carried out at 240–300°C to generate syngas containing H2.
[0060] A second embodiment of the method for utilizing the tail gas from bamboo activated carbon production is as follows: Based on the first embodiment, it further includes removing CO2 from the tail gas using a CO2 selective separation membrane before the catalytic reaction and removing CO2 from the syngas using a CO2 selective separation membrane after the catalytic reaction.
[0061] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of a bamboo activated carbon production system and a system for utilizing the exhaust gas from bamboo activated carbon production. Figure 1 As shown, the bamboo activated carbon production system includes a carbonization furnace (one or two) for carbonizing bamboo raw materials, an activation furnace for activating the carbonized raw materials, and a system for utilizing the production exhaust gas. The production exhaust gas includes carbonization exhaust gas discharged from one or two carbonization furnaces and activation exhaust gas discharged from the activation furnace.
[0062] The first embodiment of the system for utilizing exhaust gas from bamboo activated carbon production includes a gas collection tank 210, a condensation device 220, a dust removal device 230, an adsorption device 240, a deacidification device 250, and a reaction device 260.
[0063] The gas collecting tank 210 is used to collect and output production exhaust gas, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of the condensing device 220. The condensing device 220 condenses the production exhaust gas to obtain non-condensable gas. The dust removal device 230 removes dust from the non-condensable gas to obtain low-dust gas. The inlet of the dust removal device 230 is connected to the outlet of the condensing device 220, and the dust removal device 230 is a filter using a porous metal filter element.

The reaction device 260 is equipped with a catalyst packing structure. The reaction gas undergoes a catalytic reaction in the reaction device 260 to obtain a synthesis gas containing H2. The inlet of the reaction device 260 is connected to the outlet of the deacidification device 250.
[0064] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a bamboo activated carbon production system and a system for utilizing the exhaust gas from bamboo activated carbon production. Figure 2As shown, compared to the first embodiment, the utilization system of the second embodiment further includes a first separation device 270 for removing CO2 from the reaction gas and a second separation device 280 for removing CO2 from the synthesis gas. Both the first separation device 270 and the second separation device 280 are membrane separation devices equipped with CO2 selective separation membranes, which are any one of polyetherimide membranes, polyamide membranes, and carbon membranes. An appropriate amount of CO2 helps maintain catalyst activity, but too much will inhibit the H2 synthesis reaction. Therefore, removing excess CO2 through the first separation device 270, reducing the CO2 volume fraction to 2-5%, can promote the reaction towards H2 generation; removing CO2 from the synthesis gas through the second separation device 280 can improve the purity of H2.
[0065] The preparation method of the Cu-Zr catalyst used in the above reaction equipment includes the following steps:
[0066] Zirconium nitrate and urea were dissolved in 150 mL of deionized water to form an aqueous solution with a molar ratio of urea to zirconium ions of 2 and a zirconium ion concentration of 0.2 mol / L. The aqueous solution was subjected to hydrothermal treatment at a temperature of 150 °C for 24 hours. The resulting first solid was collected, washed, and dried.
[0067] The first solid was calcined at 250°C for 4 hours to obtain a zirconium precursor.
[0068] Zirconium precursor and copper nitrate were ground and mixed, with a molar ratio of copper ions to zirconium ions (calculated according to zirconium nitrate) of 0.12. The ground mixture was then dispersed in 200 mL of deionized water to form a dispersion. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours in a water bath at 60 °C. Sodium hydroxide was then slowly added dropwise to the dispersion until the pH of the dispersion was 9. The resulting second solid was collected, washed, and dried.
[0069] The second solid was calcined at 400℃ for 4 hours to obtain the Cu-Zr catalyst.
[0070] Figure 3 The image shows the XRD pattern of the Cu-Zr catalyst. Figure 3 As shown, the Cu-Zr catalyst exhibits good crystal structure, and its XRD pattern shows CuO. x The characteristic peaks of Cu and ZrO2 indicate that Cu was not embedded in the zirconium precursor (ZrO2) during the preparation process, but was uniformly attached to the ZrO2 surface as CuOx. Through the interaction between the two, a better catalytic effect was produced.
[0071] The specific surface area of the zirconium precursor (ZrO2) was determined to be 37.35 m² / s² using N₂ adsorption-desorption experiments and the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method. 2 / g, total pore volume is 0.22cm³ 3 / g, with an average pore size of 23.6nm, and a specific surface area of 56.48m² for the Cu-Zr catalyst. 2 / g, total pore volume is 0.30cm³ 3 / g, with an average pore size of 21.8nm, indicating that the supported CuO... x Subsequently, the specific surface area of the Cu-Zr catalyst increased significantly, which played a decisive role in the adsorption and activation of the gas.
[0072] A mixture of gas with volume fractions of 15% CO, 40% H2, 35% N2, and 10% CO2 was mixed with water vapor and catalyzed using a Cu-Zr catalyst at 180–300 °C. The results showed that the CO conversion rate increased sharply with increasing catalytic temperature, and then gradually leveled off. The CO conversion rates at 180 °C, 210 °C, 240 °C, 270 °C, and 300 °C were 62%, 79%, 85%, 86%, and 87%, respectively.
[0073] The Cu-Zr catalyst was used to catalyze the reaction gas (in one embodiment, the composition was 21.54% CO, 3.14% CO2, 23.55% H2, 22.35% water vapor, with the balance being N2) after treatment by the first separation unit 270. The reaction temperature was 270°C, the reaction pressure was 5 MPa, and the space velocity was 5000 h⁻¹. -1 The CO conversion rate was 81%.
[0074] It is evident that the preparation method of the Cu-Zr catalyst is simple, and the resulting Cu-Zr catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity and stability. It can promote the reaction of CO and water vapor at relatively low temperatures, contributing to improved stability in the syngas production process and reduced catalyst replacement frequency, thereby saving long-term operating costs. Achieving effective conversion of tail gas from bamboo activated carbon production through catalytic reaction technology is an innovative green chemical process that aligns with the global trend of promoting green production and reducing carbon emissions, and has a significant promotional effect on the development and application of bamboo resources.
[0075] The condensate obtained after condensing the carbonization tail gas contains a large amount of organic matter, which can be condensed into bio-oil with high calorific value. To further recover the valuable resources from the production tail gas, the method for utilizing bamboo activated carbon production tail gas of this invention further utilizes the condensate recovered from the condensation equipment. Based on the second embodiment, the third embodiment further includes the following steps:
[0076] The condensate is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain permeate; the solid-liquid separation process is either filtration or centrifugation, thereby removing particulate impurities captured by droplets during the condensation process.
[0077] The permeate is separated using a nanofiltration membrane to obtain an oily liquid. Preferably, the membrane separation process involves vacuum filtration of the permeate at a vacuum level of 100 mmHg and a temperature of 40°C, using a nanofiltration membrane with a pore size of 5 nm. Thus, the nanofiltration membrane allows water to pass through while effectively retaining most organic matter, resulting in the enrichment of most organic matter in the oily liquid.
[0078] An extractant is used to extract an oily liquid to obtain an extractant-soluble liquid; preferably, the extractant is ethanol and / or acetone; the volume of the extractant is twice the volume of the condensate.
[0079] Biomass oil was obtained by vacuum distillation of the extractant-soluble liquid at 50℃ and 16kPa. Vacuum distillation allows the extractant to evaporate and condense, and the condensate obtained can be reused for extracting oily liquids, thus improving the utilization rate of the extractant.
[0080] Unlike the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment of the method for utilizing the exhaust gas from bamboo activated carbon production is as follows:
[0081] The condensate is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain permeate; the solid-liquid separation process is either filtration or centrifugation, thereby removing particulate impurities captured by droplets during the condensation process.
[0082] The permeate was extracted with an extractant to obtain a first extractant-soluble liquid.
[0083] The first extractant soluble liquid was subjected to vacuum distillation at 35℃ and 16kPa to obtain a distillate. Vacuum distillation allows the extractant to evaporate and condense. The condensate obtained from vacuum distillation can be reused to extract the permeate, thereby improving the utilization rate of the extractant.
[0084] The distillate is extracted with an extractant and water to obtain a second extractant-soluble liquid. Preferably, in the specific implementation, the extractant is added dropwise while stirring. After the extractant is added, the stirring is continued for 15 minutes. Then, water is added dropwise. After the water is added, the stirring is continued for 30 minutes. Then, the mixture is sealed and allowed to stand for 48 hours. Finally, the second extractant-soluble liquid is obtained through phase separation.
[0085] Biomass oil is obtained by vacuum distillation of the soluble liquid of the second extractant at 35℃ and 16kPa. Vacuum distillation allows the extractant to evaporate and condense, and the condensate obtained from vacuum distillation can be reused to extract the permeate, thereby improving the utilization rate of the extractant.
[0086] The extractant is dichloromethane; preferably, the volume of the extractant is twice the volume of the permeate or the first biomass oil; the volume of water is 1.5 times the volume of the first biomass oil.
[0087] The second embodiment of the method for utilizing the tail gas from bamboo activated carbon production is as follows: Based on the first embodiment, it further includes distilling biomass oil into solid at atmospheric pressure at 200-250℃ (preferably 235℃), and the utilization method further includes crushing, grinding and vacuum drying the solid to obtain solid biomass oil.
[0088] In the third and fourth embodiments, the biomass oil can be further distilled into a solid or concentrate at atmospheric pressure at 200-250°C. For the solid, it is pulverized, ground, and vacuum dried to obtain solid biomass oil. For the concentrate, it is hydrotreated and refined, including the following steps: preparing a reaction solution with a mass ratio of biomass oil:methanol:catalyst of 20:25:1, and hydrothermally reacting it at 190°C and 1 MPa hydrogen pressure for 3 hours to obtain refined biomass oil; using an activated carbon-based Ni / BC catalyst, prepared by dispersing 0.5g of nickel nitrate and 1g of activated carbon in ethanol and stirring for 5 hours; rotary evaporating at 80°C until the ethanol solvent is removed, followed by drying in a vacuum oven; and calcining at 550°C for 2 hours using 20% H₂-Ar as a reducing atmosphere to obtain the activated carbon-based Ni / BC catalyst.
