煤和焦炉气联供制合成天然气过程的建模、模拟与分析

近年来中国的煤制天然气项目快速发展。然而煤制天然气项目的CO₂排放量大、污水产量高难处理,生产过程能效低。与此同时,中国焦炭工业每年产生约700亿立方米的副产物焦炉气,这些富氢的焦炉气大多被燃烧或直接排放进入大气,对环境造成严重影响,同时还浪费了巨大的经济价值。煤和焦炉气联供制天然气新工艺可有效解决这些问题。焦炉气与煤元素互补,焦炉气中的氢气可用来调节合成气的氢碳比;甲烷可通过甲烷干重整过程降低煤制烯烃过程排放的CO₂,提高碳元素利用率,实现节能减排。本文针对煤和焦炉气联供制天然气这个新的工艺过程进行建模、模拟与分析,发现新过程的能效比煤天然气烃过程提高了约8个百分点,而CO₂排放量则减少了约60%。     

气煤联供实现资源高效利用和碳减排技术进展

为解决煤化工过程资源利用率低和碳排放高的问题,有研究者提出以天然气、焦炉气、页岩气等富氢资源和煤炭资源联供方案,旨在实现源头碳减排。文章指出依据联供过程技术的差异,较有代表性的方案可分为集成甲烷部分氧化和集成甲烷干/水蒸气重整的气煤联供过程。文章以生产甲醇为例,从资源利用和经济效益等方面对集成甲烷部分氧化和集成甲烷干/水蒸气重整的气煤联供过程进行分析和比较。集成甲烷部分氧化的工艺碳元素利用率达到57.9%,每吨甲醇排放CO₂为1.50t,较传统煤制甲醇工艺排放减少37.5%。甲醇产品成本稍低于传统工艺。集成甲烷干/水蒸气重整工艺的碳元素利用率最高,达到83.7%。减排效果最明显,每吨甲醇排放CO₂为0.90t,较传统工艺排放减少62.5%,但是由于CO₂转化增加能耗,甲醇产品成本有所提升。由于气煤联供过程有利于CO₂减排,当碳税高于65CNY/tCO₂时,两个气煤联供工艺的生产成本低于传统的煤制甲醇工艺。     

集成CO2高效利用的煤制乙二醇过程设计与系统分析

为减少传统煤制乙二醇过程资源利用效率低和CO₂排放量高等问题，提出了一种集成CO₂高效利用的煤制乙二醇过程，并对其进行了全流程建模及系统分析。与传统过程不同，新过程利用焦炉气来提高其资源利用率和能量效率，集成甲烷干重整与湿重整技术降低CO₂排放。在全流程建模的基础之上，对新工艺的关键操作参数进行了分析与优化。结果表明，焦炉气的最佳进料比和甲烷蒸汽重整反应的分配比为0.68和0.74。与传统过程相比，新工艺的CO₂排放降低了94.05％，同时?效率提高了15.17％。     

一种低能耗捕集CO2煤基甲醇和电力联产过程设计

传统的煤制甲醇过程所需合成气的氢碳比为2.1左右,而煤气化粗合成气氢碳比仅为0.7左右,因此需要将部分合成气进行变换来调节氢碳比。然而,变换气与未变换气混合后使得CO₂浓度降低,从而导致CO₂捕集能耗增加。提出了一种低能耗捕集CO₂煤基甲醇和电力联产过程。新联产过程中部分粗合成气首先经过变换,将CO转变为H₂和CO₂,CO₂浓度提高,在此时进行CO₂捕集可实现捕集能耗的降低。经CO₂捕集后,得到富H₂气体,富H₂气体分流后与另一部分煤气化粗合成气混合调节甲醇合成的氢碳比。对新的过程进行了建模、模拟与分析。结果表明相比传统的带CO₂捕集的煤制甲醇和IGCC发电过程,新的联产过程的能量节约率可达到16.5%,CO₂捕集能耗下降30.3%。     

新型VESTA甲烷化工艺路线探究

分析了现有煤制合成天然气技术主要存在的问题,介绍了新型无循环、适应宽氢碳比的VESTA甲烷化技术。VESTA甲烷化技术的显著特征是利用合成气中的CO₂和外加水蒸汽来控制甲烷化反应温升,不需要操作条件苛刻的循环气压缩机;在甲烷化反应之前对原料气只脱硫、不脱碳,甲烷化反应之后再集中脱碳;经中试试验得出原料气中的H₂/CO比不影响最终的SNG产品指标;甲烷化后的粗SNG产品气中的CO₂体积分数高达71%,因而可在脱碳前低成本联产中压液体CO₂产品。这部分液体CO₂产品除了可用泵增压输送到粉煤气化单元用作输送气体外,还可以直接作为副产品为企业增加收益,并间接降低了碳排放。新型VESTA甲烷化技术与现有带循环压缩机的甲烷化技术相比,不但更容易操控,而且还提高了操作的稳定性和安全性,同时又能极大地降低净化装置、甲烷化装置及SNG干燥装置的投资和能耗。因此,采用VESTA甲烷化技术,能有效地提高煤制合成天然气的市场竞争力。

褐煤热解-气化-制油系统的CO2减排策略

褐煤热解-气化-制油系统是现代煤化工发展的一个重要研究内容。来自系统多个单元产生的CH₄和CO₂如果发生重整反应,将重整得到H₂/CO比值较高的合成气添加到制油流程中,可实现更多的C被固定到产品中而减少CO₂的直接排放量。对CH₄-CO₂和CH₄-H₂O两种重整反应方式、来自煤热解和费托合成两股甲烷气和典型的干粉气化和水煤浆气化两种流程进行了组合研究。分析结果显示,来自热解和费托合成的甲烷重整后不足以提供调节合成气H₂/CO比例所需的氢气,水煤气变换反应对于褐煤制油系统来说是必需的。从C转化成油的角度来看,采用干粉气化和CH₄-H₂O重整的方案是较好的选择。

Tri-reforming of methane: a novel concept for catalytic production of industrially useful synthesis gas with desired H2/CO ratios

A novel process concept called tri-reforming of methane has been proposed in our laboratory using CO₂ in the flue gases from fossil fuel-based power plants without CO₂ separation [C. Song, Chemical Innovation 31 (2001) 21–26]. The proposed tri-reforming process is a synergetic combination of CO₂ reforming, steam reforming, and partial oxidation of methane in a single reactor for effective production of industrially useful synthesis gas (syngas). Both experimental testing and computational analysis show that tri-reforming can not only produce synthesis gas (CO + H₂) with desired H₂/CO ratios (1.5–2.0), but also could eliminate carbon formation which is usually a serious problem in the CO₂ reforming of methane. These two advantages have been demonstrated by tri-reforming of CH₄ in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 850 °C with supported nickel catalysts. Over 95% CH₄ conversion and about 80% CO₂ conversion can be achieved in tri-reforming over Ni catalysts supported on an oxide substrate. The type and nature of catalysts have a significant impact on CO₂ conversion in the presence of H₂O and O₂ in tri-reforming in the temperature range of 700–850 °C. Among all the catalysts tested for tri-reforming, their ability to enhance the conversion of CO₂ follows the order of Ni/MgO > Ni/MgO/CeZrO > Ni/CeO₂ ≈ Ni/ZrO₂ ≈ Ni/Al₂O₃ > Ni/CeZrO. The higher CO₂ conversion over Ni/MgO and Ni/MgO/CeZrO in tri-reforming may be related to the interaction of CO₂ with MgO and more interface between Ni and MgO resulting from the formation of NiO/MgO solid solution. Results of catalytic performance tests over Ni/MgO/CeZrO catalysts at 850 °C and 1 atm with different feed compositions confirm the predicted equilibrium conversions based on the thermodynamic analysis for tri-reforming of methane. Kinetics of tri-reforming were also examined. The reaction orders with respect to partial pressures of CO₂ and H₂O are different over Ni/MgO, Ni/MgO/CeZrO, and Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts for tri-reforming.     

焦炉煤气-甲醇产业链延伸技术方案的经济分析

An efficient technique for improving methanol yield using dual CO2 feeds and dry methane reforming

Steam methane reforming (SMR)-based methanol synthesis plants utilizing a single CO₂ feed represent one of the predominant technologies for improving methanol yield and CO₂ utilization. However, SMR alone cannot achieve full CO₂ utilization, and a high water content accumulates if CO₂ is only fed into the methanol reactor. In this study, a process integrating SMR with dry methane reforming to improve the conversion of both methane and CO₂ is proposed. We also propose an innovative methanol production approach in which captured CO₂ is introduced into both the SMR process and the recycle gas of the methanol synthesis loop. This dual CO₂ feed approach aims to optimize the stoichiometric ratio of the reactants. Comparative evaluations are carried out from a techno-economic point of view, and the proposed process is demonstrated to be more efficient in terms of both methanol productivity and CO₂ utilization than the existing stand-alone natural gas-based methanol process.     

Ni-CeO2-K/γ-Al2O3催化剂上沼气联合重整制合成气

采用超声波辅助等体积浸渍法制备Ni-CeO₂-K/γ-Al₂O₃催化剂用于沼气联合重整反应,采用 BET、XRD、TG/DTG等技术对催化剂性质进行了表征,在微型固定床反应装置中研究了反应温度、体积空速、原料气组成等对沼气联合重整反应特性的影响,并对催化剂的稳定性进行了研究。结果表明,助剂CeO₂的加入,提高了催化剂中Ni的分散度,降低了催化剂还原温度。升高反应温度和减小体积空速,能够提高沼气中CH₄和CO₂的转化率;原料气中加入水蒸气,能够明显提高H₂/CO体积比;加入的O₂容易与H₂、CO发生反应,CH₄转化率稍有提高。在常压、反应温度850℃、体积空速为100000h^-1、摩尔比CH₄∶CO₂∶H₂O∶O₂∶Ar=1∶0.5∶0.5∶0.1∶0.01的优化条件下,沼气中CH₄转化率超过95%,CO₂转化率超过75%,生成合成气H₂/CO体积比约为1.6,反应48h后,催化剂未见积炭,保持稳定的活性。与沼气干重整相比,沼气联合重整不利于沼气中CO₂的转化。     

ALTERNATIVE GENERATION OF H2, CO AND H2, CO2 MIXTURES FROM STEAM-CARBON DIOXIDE REFORMING OF METHANE AND THE WATER GAS SHIFT WITH PERMEABLE (MEMBRANE) REACTORS

A new process is proposed which converts CO₂ and CH₄ containing gas streams to synthesis gas, a mixture of CO and H₂ via the catalytic reaction scheme of steam-carbon dioxide reforming of methane or the respective one of only carbon dioxide reforming of methane, in permeable (membrane) reactors. The membrane reformer (permreactor) can be made by reactive or inert materials such as metal alloys, microporous ceramics, glasses and composites which all are hydrogen permselective. The rejected CO reacts with steam and converted catalytically to CO₂ and H₂ via the water gas shift in a consecutive permreactor made by similar to the reformer materials and alternatively by high glass transition temperature polymers. Both permreactors can recover H₂ in permeate by using metal membranes, and H₂ rich mixtures by using ceramic, glass and composite type permselective membranes. H₂ and CO₂ can be recovered simultaneously in water gas shift step after steam condensation by using organic polymer membranes. Product yields are increased through permreactor equilibrium shift and reaction separation process integration.

CO and H₂ can be combined in first step to be used for chemical synthesis or as fuel in power generation cycles. Mixtures of CO₂ and H₂ in second step can be used for synthesis as well (e.g., alternative methanol synthesis) and as direct feed in molten carbonate fuel cells. Pure H₂ from the above processes can be used also for synthesis or as fuel in power systems and fuel cells. The overall process can be considered environmentally benign because it offers an in-situ abatement of the greenhouse CO₂ and CH₄ gases and related hydrocarbon-CO₂ feedstocks (e.g., coal, landfill, natural, flue gases), through chemical reactions, to the upgraded calorific value synthesis gas and H₂, H₂ mixture products.     

Syngas production from methane reforming with CO2/H2O and O2 over NiO–MgO solid solution catalyst in fluidized bed reactors

Catalyst performance of NiO–MgO solid solution catalysts for methane reforming with CO₂ and H₂O in the presence of oxygen using fluidized and fixed bed reactors under atmospheric and pressurized conditions was investigated. Especially, methane and CO₂ conversion in the fluidized bed reactor in methane reforming with CO₂ and O₂ was higher than those in the fixed bed reactor over Ni_0.15Mg_0.85O catalyst under 1.0 MPa. In contrast, conversion levels in the fluidized and fixed bed reactor were almost the same over MgO-supported Ni and Pt catalysts. It is suggested that the promoting effect of catalyst fluidization on the activity is related to the catalyst reducibility. On a catalyst with suitable reducibility, the oxidized and deactivated catalyst can be reduced with the produced syngas and the reforming activity regenerates in the fluidized bed reactor during the catalyst fluidization. In addition, the catalyst fluidization inhibited the carbon deposition.
