Description

Resource utilization method of coal liquefaction solid slag residue

[0001] This application is based on the Chinese application with CN application number 2024103358267 and application date March 22, 2024, and claims its priority. The disclosed content of the CN application is again introduced as a whole into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of direct coal liquefaction. Specifically, it relates to a method for resource utilization of coal liquefaction solid slag residue. After the iron catalyst phase is fully separated from other substances by solvent extraction and wet ultrafine grinding, the enriched active iron catalyst is obtained by wet magnetic separation. The recovered catalyst is then used in the direct liquefaction reaction, and the reaction effect is good. Background Art

[0003] During the coal liquefaction production process, liquefied oil residue accounting for about 30% of the raw coal will be produced. After the coal liquefaction oil residue is subjected to solvent oil extraction, heavy oil and asphalt can be obtained, and this part of the material can be further processed and utilized. The remaining heavy phase is recovered after the solvent is recovered to obtain coal liquefaction solid residue extract powder particles, which have a particle size of micron level. It is a high-carbon, high-ash, high-sulfur and complex composition mixture, mainly composed of unconverted coal, heavy asphalt, and inorganic ash. Due to its high calorific value, it is currently mainly used for gasification, combustion, pyrolysis, etc. These methods cannot maximize the utilization of carbon-based components and inorganic ash (minerals in raw coal + iron-based catalysts, etc.) in coal liquefaction solid residue, and the iron therein is easy to agglomerate and aggregate at high temperatures, which has the risk of slag blocking, and greatly affects the effect of gasification or combustion.

[0004] The iron content in coal liquefaction residues is approximately 5-8% by weight. The iron distribution and composition of the iron in the coal liquefaction residues after direct liquefaction are unclear, but it may exist in various oxide and sulfide forms. It is generally believed that the iron in the coal liquefaction residues is poisoned or deactivated, and no longer has catalytic activity.

[0005] Due to the industrialization of coal liquefaction, the amount of coal liquefaction solid slag extract residue is very huge. How to utilize coal liquefaction solid slag extract residue as a resource and realize high value of waste has great economic significance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a method for resource utilization of coal liquefaction solid slag residue to fully tap the value of the industrial chain.

[0007] In order to fully develop the maximum value of coal liquefaction solid residue, the inventors of the present invention conducted a thorough study on the coal liquefaction solid residue and found that the iron in the coal liquefaction solid residue is in the form of pyrrhotite Fe 1-xIt exists in the form of S compounds and is adhered and wrapped by heavy asphalt.

[0008] Based on the above findings, the present invention is proposed.

[0009] The present invention provides a method for resource utilization of coal liquefaction solid slag residue, which comprises the following steps:

[0010] 1) The coal liquefaction solid residue extract is fully mixed with a solvent to prepare a solid slurry, and the solid material in the solid slurry is ground to a material particle size D50 of less than 5 μm;

[0011] 2) Using magnetic separation equipment to magnetically separate the solid-containing slurry obtained in step 1) to obtain the iron catalyst-enriched concentrate A1 and the remaining tailings B2;

[0012] 3) The concentrate A1 is washed from the magnetic separation device with a solvent to obtain a slurry containing the concentrate A1, and the slurry containing the concentrate A1 is dried to obtain a dry powder material A2, which is used as a catalyst for the direct coal liquefaction reaction.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size D50 of the dry powder material A2 is less than 100 μm, preferably less than 60 μm.

[0014] When the particle size D50 of the dry powder material A2 is within the above range, the reduction in the particle size of the catalyst helps to improve the dispersibility in the reaction system and enhance its catalytic performance.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the iron content in the dry powder material A2 is 9 wt.% to 25 wt.%, preferably 11 wt.% to 25 wt.%, based on 100 wt.% of the total weight of the dry powder material A2.

[0016] When the iron content of the dry powder material A2 is within the above range, it is beneficial to control the content of the active components of the catalyst.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, tailings B2 are treated by spray drying to recover the solvent, and then blended into the gasification feedstock coal as a feedstock for gasification hydrogen production. The remaining tailings B2, a non-magnetic material containing the solvent after magnetic separation, can provide the hydrogen required for the direct coal liquefaction production unit, achieving a circular economy effect.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, in step 1), the solid content of the solid-containing slurry is 10 wt.% to 40 wt.%, preferably 20 wt.% to 35 wt.%.

[0019] When the solid content of the solid-containing slurry is controlled within the above range, it is beneficial to separate the catalyst from the coal liquefaction solid slag residue.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the solvents in step 1) and step 3) are water or an organic solvent, respectively, and the organic solvent is selected from one or more of n-hexane, toluene, xylene, carbon disulfide, dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, washing oil, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran and quinoline.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, in step 1), the solid material in the solid-containing slurry is ground until the particle size D50 of the solid material in the slurry is 3 μm or less, preferably 2 μm or less, and more preferably 1 μm or less. By grinding the solid material to the micrometer or nanometer scale, the iron catalyst and the organic matter are fully separated.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, in step 1), grinding is performed using a ball mill, rod mill, or sand mill. More preferably, grinding is performed using one or more selected from a stirred ball mill, a nano sand mill, and a planetary grinder. A single mill or multiple mills connected in series may be used. The inner lining and grinding media of the grinding apparatus are made of non-magnetic materials, such as ceramic, polyurethane, carbon nanotubes, etc.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, in step 2), the magnetic separation equipment is a high gradient magnetic separator selected from electromagnetic, permanent magnetic or combined types, preferably a high gradient magnetic separator with an external uniform magnetic field and a superimposed magnetic field of a magnetic medium (such as steel wool, steel rods, steel balls, steel plates, etc.).

[0024] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the high-gradient magnetic field formation process. The magnetic lines of force of a uniform magnetic field are uniform from the north pole to the south pole. When a magnetic metal wire is added, it is magnetized and also excites its own magnetic field. The total effect is the superposition of (a) and (b), which weakens the magnetic field near the upper and lower surfaces of the metal wire, while greatly strengthening the magnetic field near the two poles of the external magnetic field, forming a high-gradient magnetic field region (c) near the surface of the metal wire that varies with distance.

[0025] The periodic pulsating high-gradient magnetic separator is one of the many high-gradient magnetic separators designed using this principle. The device structure is shown in Figure 2. It primarily consists of a feed chamber 1, a magnetic pole head 2, an iron yoke 3, an excitation coil 4, a magnetic concentrator 5, a pulsating bucket 6, a pulsating mechanism 7, and a regulating valve 8. The iron yoke 3 is the ferromagnetic portion without a coil wound around it, connecting the upper and lower magnetic heads to form a closed circuit. During operation, the pulsating mechanism 7 is activated, the flow rate is adjusted, and direct current is passed through the excitation coil 4. The excitation current is adjusted to the desired background magnetic induction intensity. The magnetic concentrator 5 is magnetized in the magnetic field, forming a high-gradient magnetic field on its surface. A well-stirred, loose solid-containing slurry is fed from the feed chamber 1 and flows through the holes in the upper magnetic pole head 2 into the separation chamber. Magnetic particles in the slurry are attracted to the surface of the magnetic medium. Non-magnetic particles flow through the holes in the lower magnetic pole head and are discharged into the pulsating bucket 6. After each feeding cycle is completed, water or an organic solvent is added to rinse the concentrate. The excitation power supply is then disconnected and the magnetic material is flushed out with water or an organic solvent, completing a beneficiation cycle. Within the uniform magnetic field generated by the excitation coil 4, a magnetic concentrator 5, such as a steel plate or rod, is placed. This magnetization produces a highly non-uniform, high-gradient magnetization field on its radial surface. Paramagnetic materials in this field experience a magnetic attraction proportional to the product of the applied magnetic field and the magnetic field gradient. This high-gradient, non-uniform magnetic field separates weakly magnetic, fine-grained materials that are difficult to separate with conventional magnetic separators. Furthermore, a pulsating mechanism 7 drives the magnetic concentrator 5 in an up-and-down reciprocating motion within the material pile. The pulsating fluid force keeps the solid particles loose, effectively eliminating mechanical inclusions of non-magnetic particles and significantly improving the grade of the magnetic concentrate.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, in step 2), when an organic solvent is used as a medium to prepare the slurry, since the solid slag residue contains organic matter such as residual extraction solvent and heavy asphalt, according to the type of organic solvent selected and the principle of like dissolves like, the organic solvent can dissolve and wash part of the organic matter, which is beneficial to separate the iron catalyst adhered to and wrapped by the heavy asphalt. Therefore, the magnetic field strength acting on the coal liquefaction solid slag residue slurry is 2000~5000Gs, preferably, the magnetic field strength acting on the solid-containing slurry is 3000~4000Gs; when water is used as a medium to prepare the slurry, compared with using an organic solvent, the dilution and stripping effects are weaker, but the cost is lower and the dosage selection space is larger. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the magnetic field strength acting on the solid-containing slurry to achieve a better enrichment effect, generally 5000~13000Gs, preferably, the magnetic field strength acting on the solid-containing slurry is 7000~9000Gs.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, in step 3), a solvent is used to flush the concentrate A1 adsorbed on the magnetic medium to obtain a slurry containing the concentrate A1. Therefore, in step 3), the slurry containing the concentrate A1 is dried and / or the solvent is recovered by vacuum drying, nitrogen drying, distillation, or spray drying; preferably, spray drying is used for drying and / or solvent recovery.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the method for resource utilization of coal liquefaction solid slag residue further comprises the following steps:

[0029] 4) The dry powder material A2 obtained in step 3) is used as a coal direct liquefaction catalyst for a coal direct liquefaction reaction.

[0030] Preferably, the amount of dry powder material A2 added is such that the mass ratio of Fe in A2 to dry coal is 0.5wt.% to 10wt.%, preferably 0.5wt.% to 5wt.%, and further more preferably 1wt.% to 3wt.%.

[0031] When the addition amount is within the above range, the coal conversion rate and oil yield both reach the optimal value. Continuing to add will increase the ash content in the system; if the addition amount is too low, the coal conversion rate and oil yield will not reach the optimal value.

[0032] Preferably, the reaction conditions are:

[0033] The reaction temperature is 400-470°C, preferably 430-465°C;

[0034] The reaction pressure is 10-20 MPa, preferably 13-20 MPa;

[0035] The reaction residence time is 0.5 to 2 hours.

[0036] In the present invention, an organic solvent is used to extract the solid residue residue of direct coal liquefaction, and an ultrafine grinder is used to grind it. The iron catalyst adhered to and wrapped by heavy asphalt is fully stripped off, and the iron catalyst is recovered by wet magnetic separation. The enriched iron-containing catalyst is used for direct liquefaction reaction. The magnetic field intensity required for wet recovery according to the method of the present invention is low, the enrichment degree of the recovered iron catalyst is high, the iron purity is greatly improved, and the direct liquefaction reaction performance is excellent. The method according to the present invention not only alleviates the supply problem of the catalyst iron source, but also reduces the discharge of direct coal liquefaction solid residue, and effectively improves the overall economic benefit of direct liquefaction technology while realizing the hierarchical clean utilization of solid waste.

[0037] The present invention has at least three advantages:

[0038] (1) It effectively solves the problem of difficulty in recovering and separating the solid residue due to the complex components and the nano-scale iron catalyst being wrapped and adhered therein;

[0039] (2) The solvent used can be recovered by distillation or spray drying and recycled, saving production costs;

[0040] (3) The extracted and recovered iron catalyst has a high purity and is used in small amounts for direct liquefaction reaction. It carries less inert components and effectively improves the volume utilization of the reactor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

As shown in Figure 3, the inorganic substances in coal liquefaction solid residue mainly include CaCO3, Fe 1-x S, CaSO4 and SiO2, among which the iron-containing species is still mainly pyrrhotite Fe 1-x The catalyst active state of S exists.
