废弃咖啡渣化学链气化反应特性

利用溶胶-凝胶法制备了以Fe₂O₃为活性组分,天然凹凸棒土(ATP)为惰性载体,KNO₃修饰的Fe4ATP6K1铁基复合载氧体。在高温流化床中考察了反应温度、水蒸气流量和O/C摩尔比对咖啡渣化学链气化过程的影响。结果表明,与以石英砂为床料的咖啡渣气化相比,以Fe4ATP6K1载氧体为床料的咖啡渣化学链气化对应的碳转化率由71.38%提高到86.25%。咖啡渣化学链气化的较优操作条件为:反应温度900℃、水蒸气量0.23 g·min^-1、O/C摩尔比1;在此操作条件下,合成气产量达到1.30 m³·kg^-1,氢气产量达到83.79 g·kg^-1,氢气的平均浓度达到52.75%。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜-能谱(SEM-EDS)对900℃反应前后的Fe4ATP6K1进行表征,发现Fe相、K相、Si相可以发生相互作用,K以KFeSi₃O₈的形式存在于载氧体中,并且K在反应过程中有少量流失。20次氧化/还原过程中,铁基复合载氧体Fe4ATP6K1表现出较好的循环性能,碳转化率和冷煤气效率均保持在75%以上,各气体的平均浓度较稳定。

Reaction characteristics of chemical-looping gasification for waste coffee grounds

Iron-based composite oxygen carrier (OC) (Fe4ATP6K1) was prepared by sol-gel method, which features Fe₂O₃ as an active component, and natural attapugite (ATP) as an inert support, as well as being modified by KNO₃. Effects of reaction temperature, flow rate of steam and molar ratio of O/C on chemical looping gasification (CLG) of coffee grounds were investigated in a high temperature fluidized bed using steam as gasification agent. It suggests that the Fe4ATP6K1 oxygen carrier as bed material could facilitate carbon conversion in CLG of coffee grounds from 71.38% to 86.25%, compared with that of SiO₂. Under optimized conditions for CLG such as 900℃, 0.23 g·min^-1 of steam flow rate and 1 of molar ratio of O/C, up to 52.75% of average concentration of H₂, 83.79 g·kg^-1 of H₂ production rate, and 1.30 m³·kg^-1 of syngas production rate were achieved. The OC samples before and after reaction at 900℃ were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS). The interactions within phases of Fe, K and Si, and K in presence of KFeSi₃O₈ phase in the OCs were observed. Twenty redox cycles testing demonstrated that the Fe4ATP6K1 oxygen carrier possessed a good cyclic stability, over 75% of both carbon conversion and cold gas efficiency, while the average concentration of each gas kept almost stable.
