Hydrothermal co-gasification of sorghum biomass and çan lignite in mild conditions: An optimization study for high yield hydrogen production

In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) combined with a 3–factor and 3–level Box–Behnken design (BBD) was performed to obtain high yield hydrogen production from hydrothermal co–gasification of sorghum biomass and low rank Çan lignite in a batch type reactor at 500 °C. The individual and the combined effects of the process parameters of coal amount (%) of the coal/biomass mixtures, initial water volume (mL) of the reactor and amount of the coal/biomass mixtures (kg) on system pressure, total gas yield, hydrogen production and product distribution were determined. Water volume directly affected the system pressure and the reaction medium was supercritical water medium above 48.2 mL with a pressure of 22.06 MPa. The highest values of both total gas volume and hydrogen gas volume were reached by gasification of 5.0 g of feedstock. It has been observed that total gas volume and hydrogen volume were directly affected by the water volume in the reactor and the coal ratio of the coal-biomass mixtures. The highest total gas and hydrogen volumes can be achieved under the conditions where the higher levels of water volume of the reactor and lower levels of coal percentage of the coal/biomass mixture were combined. Optimum conditions for maximum hydrogen production with 5.0 g of coal/biomass mixture were determined with numerical optimization as coal percentage of 25.6% and initial water volume of 68.5 mL. By combining the impregnated K₂CO₃ (3%, (w/w)) and CaO catalysts an excellent hydrogen selectivity was achieved. The hydrogen selectivity was drastically increased from 32.0% to 70.8% by capturing more than 99% of CO₂ with a H₂/CO₂ mol ratio of 88.5.     

酒糟与煤焦在CO2气氛下的共气化特性

利用固定床反应器研究了酒糟和煤焦在CO2气氛下的共气化特性,考察了实验样品的孔隙结构、表面元素组成及灰分矿物组成. 结果表明,酒糟和煤焦在CO2气氛下共气化过程中存在协同作用,产气中除CO2外,主要产生CO, H2和CH4气体,且在酒糟掺混比例为80%时浓度最高. 气化反应温度和酒糟掺混比例是影响共气化反应的主要因素,酒糟掺混比例相同时,900?1100℃范围内随温度升高,共气化反应活性提高;温度相同时,20%?80%范围内随酒糟掺混比例增加,共气化反应活性增大. 酒糟含69.47%挥发分,且在气化过程中产生大量孔隙及酒糟和煤焦中分别含K和Ca元素对共气化反应起催化作用,是共气化反应活性提高的主要原因.     

滇池底泥-褐煤超临界水共气化制氢实验研究

采用间歇式超临界水反应装置,以滇池疏浚底泥和褐煤为原料,分别将褐煤、底泥单独进行超临界水气化,对比不同反应原料对气化制氢的影响。再将二者按不同混合比例（1∶9、2∶8、 3∶7、4∶6、5∶5）进行共气化,对比不同混合比例对气化制氢的影响。结果表明,相对褐煤,底泥气化具有气体组分富氢、气相收率高、产气量小的特点;褐煤气化则具有碳气化率高、产气量大的特点。褐煤单独气化的气相收率低于底泥,共气化时气相收率达到834 mL/g。褐煤和底泥在超临界水共气化过程中碳气化率和产氢率存在明显协同效应。与加权平均值相比,碳气化率和H2产率分别提高了3.12%和55 mL/g。共气化存在最优比例,超过3∶7后,碳气化率逐渐下降。以最优比例进行共气化,既可达到处置底泥的目的,又可保持相对较高的H2产率（350 mL/g）和CH4产率（113 mL/g）。     

掺混比例对生物质和煤流化床共气化特性影响的试验研究

采用新型床料在鼓泡流化床中进行了2种典型的木本和草本生物质与烟煤的空气-水蒸气气化试验,研究了生物质掺混比例对燃气组分和热值、气化效率及碳转化率等参数的影响规律.结果表明:当松木屑的掺混比例从0%增大到100%时,H2和CO的体积含量分别增加了4.6%和4.4%,CO2的体积含量减少了3%,CH4和CnHm的含量也有所增加;当稻秸的掺混比例从0%增大到100%时,CO的体积含量先从25.8%上升至27.5%,再下降至25.3%,其他燃气组分的变化趋势与松木屑和煤气化的相类似;随着生物质掺混比例的增加,2种生物质和煤共气化的气化效率和碳转化率均有所提高,且在共气化过程中存在协同效应.
