Description
A system and method for co-producing green soda ash and ammonium chloride using renewable energy Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of renewable energy, and in particular to a system and method for co-producing green soda ash and ammonium chloride with renewable energy. Background Art
[0002] As the world's population grows and economies develop, the resulting environmental problems are becoming increasingly prominent. Climate change is a global issue facing humanity today. As carbon dioxide emissions surge, greenhouse gases pose a threat to life. Large-scale development and utilization of renewable energy is an effective way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and energy shortages.
[0003] However, it's worth noting that the primary sources of renewable energy generation include wind and photovoltaic power, and the development of renewable electricity is highly dependent on electricity load. Furthermore, large-scale ultra-high voltage transmission is costly, and the intermittent and unstable nature of photovoltaic and wind power generation places pressure on both the transmitting and receiving power grids. This has led to a significant inverse distribution between my country's renewable energy resources and electricity demand, creating challenges in delivering green electricity to remote areas rich in renewable energy.
[0004] The combination of new energy power generation and electrochemistry has become a research hotspot. By converting green electricity into chemical products and realizing the storage and transportation of chemicals for power storage and transmission, it can not only expand the space for the consumption of green electricity, but also significantly reduce the cost of power storage and transmission, creating favorable conditions for the development of high-quality renewable energy in remote areas. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention discloses a system and method for the co-production of green soda ash and ammonium chloride using renewable energy. By adopting a circular economy solution that combines green hydrogen-green ammonia with waste gas-waste solids, and through the optimized configuration and coupled integration of various devices, it not only effectively solves the impact of the intermittent and volatile nature of new energy power generation on the stable operation of chemical plants, but also achieves the stable on-site consumption of wind and solar power generation; it also achieves the goal of carbon reduction and emission reduction through the resource utilization of carbon dioxide gas and industrial waste salt, turning waste into treasure by nature and obtaining better economic benefits.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides a system for co-producing green soda ash and ammonium chloride using renewable energy, the system comprising:

[0010] An ammonia synthesis subsystem, which is connected to the hydrogen output end of the water electrolysis subsystem and the nitrogen output end of the air separation subsystem via pipelines, and is used to synthesize green ammonia using the hydrogen obtained from the water electrolysis subsystem and the nitrogen obtained from the air separation subsystem;
[0011] Tail gas pretreatment subsystem: used to concentrate carbon dioxide in industrial tail gas to obtain raw tail gas;

[0014] In the above technical solution, waste salt (mainly composed of sodium chloride) produced by chemical plants is utilized, and the carbon dioxide exhaust gas produced by the chemical plants is collected. After purification through a carbon dioxide purification device, the raw exhaust gas is sent to the green soda ash unit. At the same time, wind power / photovoltaic power is combined to generate green electricity for electrolysis of pure water to produce hydrogen, and green electricity is used as the energy source for the air separation unit to produce nitrogen; by feeding hydrogen / nitrogen into the ammonia synthesis system according to the feed ratio required for ammonia synthesis, the prepared green ammonia is also used as the raw material for the green soda ash unit. In the soda ash synthesis subsystem, the treated raw waste salt, raw exhaust gas and ammonia are used as raw materials to obtain green soda ash products and ammonium chloride by-products that meet the purity standards, thus forming a process route with green electricity-green hydrogen-green ammonia-green soda ash as the main line.
[0015] The above-mentioned technical solution uses renewable green electricity to produce green hydrogen. Compared with coal-to-hydrogen production, it not only eliminates carbon emission process links such as coal gasification and conversion, but the by-product high-purity oxygen can also be used for the oxygen needs of surrounding steelmaking, chemical and other enterprises, reducing the energy consumption of traditional air separation oxygen production; at the same time, the carbon dioxide tail gas emitted by surrounding power plants, steelmaking or chemical equipment can be utilized as a resource; if the surrounding industrial waste salt resources are sufficient, a fully circular economy can be achieved to prepare green soda ash and ammonium chloride products, promoting the chemical industry to achieve zero-carbon transformation and upgrading.
[0016] The above-mentioned technical solution fully combines renewable energy power generation with green hydrogen, green ammonia and green soda ash, converts green electricity into basic chemical products with stable chemical properties, and transforms electricity storage and transmission into chemical storage and transportation. It can expand the space for green electricity consumption while greatly reducing the cost of electricity storage and transmission, creating favorable conditions for the development of high-quality renewable energy in remote areas.

However, it should be understood that these embodiments are merely for the purpose of further explanation and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention in any form, i.e., they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] A system for co-producing green soda ash and ammonium chloride using renewable energy, as shown in FIG1 , comprises:
[0036] (1) Renewable energy generation subsystem 1, for generating green electricity using wind and / or solar energy. The renewable energy generation subsystem 1 of the present invention includes a solar power generation system and a wind power generation system, and is primarily used to convert solar and / or wind energy into electrical energy. The green electricity generated by the renewable energy generation subsystem 1 will primarily be used to meet the electricity needs of the water electrolysis subsystem 2 and the air separation subsystem 3, as well as the electricity needs of other chemical equipment.
[0037] Optionally, the renewable energy generation subsystem 1 includes a wind power / photovoltaic power generation device and an energy storage device 11. In actual operation, the energy storage device 11 can be used to overcome the intermittent and fluctuating nature of wind and solar power generation due to weather and climate, thereby ensuring stable and continuous operation of the overall process system.
[0038] Further optionally, the energy storage device 11 is a battery energy storage device 11, and its supporting scale theoretical basis is as follows:
[0039] The charging and discharging logic of the energy storage device 11: for the completely off-grid chemical product model and the green electricity hydrogen production combined with grid electricity for chemical equipment model: 1) Green electricity is used first for hydrogen production and downstream chemical equipment; 2) When green electricity is greater than the maximum demand of hydrogen production and chemical equipment, start charging the energy storage device 11; 3) When green electricity is greater than the maximum demand of hydrogen production, chemical equipment, and energy storage device 11, abandon electricity; 4) When green electricity is less than the maximum demand of hydrogen production and chemical equipment, start reducing the load of the chemical equipment; 5) When green electricity is less than the minimum operating load requirement of the chemical equipment, the energy storage device 11 discharges; 6) When the total amount of green electricity and energy storage device 11 is less than the minimum operating load requirement of the chemical equipment, the chemical equipment is shut down.
[0040] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the energy storage device 11. Persons skilled in the art may, through non-inventive effort, select a suitable energy storage device and configure a suitable connection method, and the resulting technical solutions are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. Optionally, the energy storage device 11 includes multiple groups of energy storage units; these multiple groups of energy storage units are connected in parallel. Furthermore, optionally, the AC sides of the AC / DC bidirectional inverters within each energy storage unit are connected in parallel.
[0041] (2) A water electrolysis subsystem 2, which is connected to the renewable energy generation subsystem 1 and is used to electrolyze water using the green electricity to obtain hydrogen and oxygen.
[0042] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific equipment and process for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water, and those skilled in the art can select suitable equipment and process for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water through non-creative labor. With the advancement of hydrogen energy-related research, the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen has developed the following two different process routes: alkali solution method and proton exchange membrane method (PEM). Optionally, in the present embodiment, alkaline electrolyzer electrolysis produces hydrogen, and the alkaline electrolyzer hydrogen production system adopts a unit assembly structure, which is mainly composed of an electrolyzer, a gas-liquid processor (frame), a water pump, a water alkali tank, a control cabinet, a rectifier cabinet, a rectifier transformer, a flame arrester and the like; Optionally, the operating temperature of the alkali washing electrolyzer is 85-95°C, the operating pressure is 1.6-1.8MPaG, and the hydrogen product pressure at the outlet of the electrolyzer is approximately 1.4-1.6MPaG.
[0043] Optionally, the alkaline electrolyzers can be arranged in groups of 4-5, with each electrolyzer operating at a lower load limit of approximately 25%-30%. The electrolyzers are grouped and controlled during operation. This makes the entire system more flexible than chemical plants, with more flexible startup and shutdown. The operation and startup of the electrolyzers can be flexibly adjusted based on the green electricity load, allowing the green electricity generated by wind power to produce green hydrogen, which can serve as a hydrogen source for downstream green ammonia plants.
[0044] Optionally, the water electrolysis subsystem 2 includes an electrolytic cell for electrolyzing water, a hydrogen purification device 21 connected to a crude hydrogen output end of the electrolytic cell, and an oxygen purification device 22 connected to a crude oxygen output end of the electrolytic cell.
[0045] It should be noted that the oxygen and surplus hydrogen generated by the water electrolysis subsystem 2 during water electrolysis can be sold as products.
[0046] Optionally, the water electrolysis subsystem 2 further includes a hydrogen storage device 23, which stores part of the hydrogen obtained by electrolysis in the water electrolysis subsystem 2 in a hydrogen storage tank, and releases hydrogen when wind / solar power generation is insufficient to ensure the hydrogen demand of downstream chemical equipment.
[0047] It should be noted that the hydrogen storage device 23 can optionally use high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage. The scale of the hydrogen storage device 23 is matched and calculated according to the load curve of local wind and solar power generation to ensure that when the output of renewable energy power is small, the chemical plant can operate at a reasonable load while achieving non-stop steady-state operation, thereby improving the operating reliability and stability of the device and achieving safe operation and economic benefits of the device.
[0048] (3) Air separation subsystem 3, which uses the green electricity to separate air to produce nitrogen. The produced nitrogen will be transported to the subsequent ammonia synthesis subsystem. It should be noted that in actual operation, the operating range of air separation subsystem 3 can be considered to be relatively large to accommodate fluctuations in the capacity of upstream and downstream systems.
[0049] (4) Ammonia synthesis subsystem 4, which is connected to the hydrogen output end of the water electrolysis subsystem 2 and the nitrogen output end of the air separation subsystem 3 through pipelines, and is used to synthesize green ammonia using the hydrogen obtained from the water electrolysis subsystem 2 and the nitrogen obtained from the air separation subsystem 3.
[0050] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific equipment and process of the ammonia synthesis subsystem 4. A dynamic ammonia synthesis process can be optionally adopted. Those skilled in the art can select a suitable ammonia synthesis process and equipment through non-creative work, and the technical solutions thus formed are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] (5) Tail gas pretreatment subsystem 5 is used to concentrate carbon dioxide in industrial tail gas to obtain raw tail gas.
[0052] Optionally, the tail gas pretreatment subsystem 5 includes a carbon dioxide absorption and desorption module, with the desorption module outputting raw tail gas. The tail gas pretreatment subsystem 5 uses a solvent method to purify carbon dioxide tail gas from surrounding factories, such as flue gas from power plants and steel mills, to obtain raw tail gas containing high concentrations of CO2, which is used as raw material for subsequent soda ash synthesis.
[0053] Optionally, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the raw tail gas is ≥80wt%. In the actual process, if the tail gas input into the tail gas pretreatment subsystem 5 is high-concentration tail gas from a coal chemical plant, it can be directly sent to the soda ash plant as raw material; if it is low-concentration carbon dioxide tail gas from a refinery or power plant, it can be concentrated to a purity of ≥80wt% and then supplied as soda ash raw material.
[0054] It should be noted that one stream of the raw tail gas can be fed into a carbon dioxide refining device for refining to obtain a food-grade CO2 liquid product for sale.
[0055] (6) Waste salt pretreatment subsystem 6, removes impurities and purifies industrial waste salt to obtain raw waste salt.
[0056] Optionally, the waste salt pretreatment subsystem 6 includes a salt washing module and / or a fractionation and crystallization module. In the actual process flow, if the separated industrial waste salt from surrounding enterprises meets the index requirements, it can be directly used as a raw material for soda ash synthesis; if the industrial waste salt does not meet the green soda ash feed requirements, it needs to be refined by the salt washing module to obtain the raw waste salt that meets the soda ash synthesis requirements; if the industrial waste salt has not been separated and purified, it needs to be separated by fractionation and crystallization in this solution before being used as a raw material for soda ash synthesis; if industrial waste salt is used as a blending raw material for industrial refined salt, the purity requirement index of the industrial waste salt will be determined based on its blending ratio, or it will be pretreated by operations such as salt washing or fractionation and crystallization.
[0057] It should be noted that when industrial waste salt is used directly as the raw material for green soda ash, its purity composition must meet the indicators of "industrial dry salt grade 1" or "industrial wet salt grade 1" for refined industrial salt in "Industrial Salt" (GB / T 5462-2015) and can be directly used as feed.
[0058] Optionally, the raw waste salt satisfies the requirement that the sodium chloride content of the dry salt is ≥98.5%.

[0060] Optionally, the soda ash synthesis subsystem 7 includes a heavy alkali module and an ammonium chloride module, wherein the heavy alkali module is used to prepare heavy alkali using green ammonia, raw material tail gas and raw material waste salt as raw materials and filter out ammonium chloride mother liquor, and the heavy alkali is heated to obtain a soda ash product; the filtrate output end of the heavy alkali module is connected to the raw material input end of the ammonium chloride module, and in the actual process, the ammonium chloride mother liquor filtered out by the heavy alkali module is used as the raw material input of the ammonium chloride module after absorbing ammonia; the ammonium chloride module is used for low-temperature crystallization to obtain an ammonium chloride mixed crystal slurry containing an ammonium chloride product, and the mixed crystal slurry is centrifuged to obtain an ammonium chloride product and a crystal slurry; the crystal slurry output end of the ammonium chloride module is connected to the raw material input end of the heavy alkali module, and in the actual process, the crystal slurry output by the ammonium chloride module is used as the input material of the heavy alkali module to absorb ammonia and carbonize.
[0061] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the soda ash synthesis process and equipment used. The concentrated gas alkali production process (secondary ammonia absorption and primary carbonization) and the cold process for producing ammonium chloride can be selected to produce soda ash and produce ammonium chloride as a by-product.
[0062] In addition to the above-mentioned subsystems, the renewable energy co-production system of green soda ash and ammonium chloride of the present invention also includes auxiliary facilities for power conversion and distribution, including substations, cabinet rooms and rectifier rooms, as well as public engineering facilities such as air compressor stations, pure water stations and cooling circulation water stations.
[0063] The present invention utilizes renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power generation for electrolytic hydrogen production, and compensates for the intermittent and fluctuating nature of wind and solar power generation through energy storage and hydrogen storage facilities, while achieving stable operation of the downstream synthetic ammonia production process. It utilizes carbon dioxide tail gas from various surrounding industrial enterprises and industrial waste salt resources from coal chemical enterprises to prepare green soda ash and produce ammonium chloride as a by-product.
