the shift reaction includes: a first-stage conversion reaction and a second-stage conversion reaction, wherein the temperature of the first-stage conversion reaction is 180-300 ℃; the second stage of conversion reaction has a temperature of 200-400 ℃, the catalyst for conversion reaction is Co-Mo catalyst, the reaction pressure is 2.85-3.00MPa, and the reaction space velocity is 5000-7000h -1 The gas-gas ratio of the reaction is 0.50-0.60.
By adopting the technical scheme, the crushed coal is pressurized and gasified to obtain the crude gas, and the crude gas is subjected to the procedures of conversion reaction, gas desulfurization and purification, compression and ammonia synthesis in sequence to obtain an ammonia synthesis gas product;
the shift reaction mainly converts CO into H by the carbon monoxide shift reaction of the gasified raw gas 2 Co-Mo system usedThe sulfur-tolerant shift catalyst is suitable for the operation condition of higher sulfur content in the raw gas, has only minimum requirement (related to the content of CO in the raw gas, usually not lower than 500 ppm) on the sulfur in the raw gas, and has no upper limit, so that the raw gas does not need to be desulfurized and then shifted, and the process flow of the whole purification device is simpler; the Co-Mo sulfur-resistant wide temperature range conversion catalyst has no minimum water-gas ratio requirement, and saves steam consumption.
The raw gas entering the conversion reaction is in a saturated state, and the gas-gas ratio is 0.50-0.60, wherein the gas-gas ratio is the molar (or volume) ratio of water vapor and raw gas (dry) in the conversion raw gas. The gas-gas ratio in the shift gas is larger, the residual carbon monoxide component content is smaller, the balance shift rate of carbon monoxide can be improved, the carbon monoxide shift reaction is promoted, and the occurrence of side reactions (methanation, carbon precipitation and the like) can be restrained.

The catalyst has a very important relation between the activity temperature range of the catalyst and the carbon monoxide shift reaction temperature, and the shift catalyst can cause sintering damage and deactivation of the catalyst under the condition of overhigh reaction temperature; in addition, too low a shift temperature may cause water vapor in the process gas to condense during the shift, thereby reducing the catalyst usage temperature and resulting in catalyst deactivation. The catalyst has higher catalytic activity in the initial stage of use, and the use temperature of the catalyst should be properly reduced; when the catalyst is used at the end stage or the activity is low, the use temperature of the catalyst should be properly increased so as to compensate the decrease of the catalyst activity and ensure the reaction rate of the carbon monoxide shift reaction.

As preferable: the first-stage shift reaction byproduct is medium-pressure saturated steam with the pressure of 1.2-1.6 MPa; the second stage transformation reaction by-product is low pressure saturated steam of 0.3-0.5 MPa.
By adopting the technical scheme, the medium-pressure saturated steam with the by-product of 1.2-1.6MPa of the shift gas at the outlet of the first-stage shift reaction furnace and the low-pressure saturated steam with the by-product of 0.3-0.5MPa of the shift gas at the outlet of the second-stage shift reaction furnace can improve the waste heat utilization efficiency of the saturated steam, wherein the medium-pressure steam can also be used as a heat source of the catalyst to ensure the activity temperature of the catalyst, so that the service life of the catalyst is prolonged.
As preferable: the volume density of the Co-Mo catalyst is 600-850kg/m 3 Specific surface area is more than or equal to 0.25cm 3 Per gram, the sulfur content is more than or equal to 100 mug/g.

Specific surface area is greater than or equal to 0.25cm 3 The/g provides more active sites for the reactants to adsorb and react, thereby increasing the reaction rate, promoting the interaction between reactant molecules, facilitating the reaction, and the sulfur content of the Co-Mo catalyst is very important for the shift reaction. Sulfides are active components of the catalyst and can provide the active sites and specific electronic structures required for the catalytic reaction. The sulfur content is more than or equal to 100 mug/g, so that the sulfide content on the surface of the catalyst can be increased, and the activity and selectivity of the catalyst are improved.
