The invention discloses a method for promoting
sludge catalytic
cracking and reforming to efficiently produce
hydrogen by using
sludge pyrohydrolysis byproduct
melanin, and belongs to the field of
organic solid waste energy recovery. Aiming at the problems that
melanin in a high-temperature pyrohydrolysis-
pyrolysis process inhibits
sludge decomposition,
pyrolysis gas components are complex and H2 directional regeneration is difficult, the byproduct
melanin in the high-temperature pyrohydrolysis process is extracted and is used for enhancing the
pyrolysis gas production efficiency of the pyrohydrolysis sludge. The sludge is subjected to low-temperature pyrohydrolysis treatment, the surface is loose, and the
organic matter devolatilization degree is enhanced, so that
solid-phase pyrolysis gas production of the pyrohydrolysis sludge is promoted. Furthermore, the melanin-like compound shows excellent reaction catalytic activity due to carboxyl and a
nitrogen-containing structure, the optimal effect is achieved when the concentration is 2.5 mg / g DW, the total gas
production rate is increased by 6.54%, the melanin-like compound induces pyrohydrolysis sludge
cracking mixed gas to generate
methane catalytic
cracking CH4-> C + 2H2 and
catalytic reforming CH4 + CO2-> 2CO + 2H2 reactions, and the
hydrogen yield is increased by 35.92% at most. The method effectively solves the
engineering bottleneck problems of melanin-like negative effects in the
thermal hydrolysis-pyrolysis field and low green
energy recovery rate.
