The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of substitutive
natural gas from
coal, and relates to a device and method for directly preparing
methane based on
coal chemical chain gasification. Pulverized
coal particles pass through the upper portion of a chemical chain gasification reactor and enter a chemical chain gasification reactor,
oxidation state multifunctional composite
oxygen carrier particles and unreacted carbon in the pulverized coal particles enter a regeneration reactor on the upper portion of a coal
methanation section through a first flowing control device, coal
slag obtained after reacting is discharged through a
slag discharging opening, gas separated by a
cyclone separator sequentially passes through a gas purifying unit and a
gas separation unit,
methane gas is obtained, and coal ash obtained after separation of the
cyclone separator, part of unreacted carbon and the
oxidation state multifunctional composite
oxygen carrier particles return to the chemical chain gasification reactor or the regeneration reactor again to be recycled. The device is simple in structure and convenient to operate, the process theory is scientific, the raw materials are easy to obtain, cost is low,
thermal efficiency is high, the
carbon utilization efficiency is high, fewer pollutants are generated, and environmental friendliness is achieved.
