Solid thermal carriers catalytic gasification biomass are produced the method for hydrogen-rich gas
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of extracting hydrogen in biomass, especially a kind of solid thermal carriers catalytic gasification biomass are produced the method for hydrogen-rich gas.
Background technology
Hydrogen is a kind of important chemical material, also is the clean fuel that can be used for fuel cell and oil engine simultaneously.Hydrogen is mainly derived from two approach, the i.e. conversion of water electrolysis and hydrocarbon polymer.The main technique of hydrogen manufacturing at present is the water vapor catalytic reforming of Sweet natural gas (methane), lower carbon number hydrocarbons or petroleum naphtha, and the partial oxidation of heavy oil residual oil and gasification also are alternative technology.Be subjected to the restriction of raw material supplying based on the process for making hydrogen of Sweet natural gas or other fossil oils, in the long term, hydrogen feedstock should be based on renewable resources.
Biomass (comprising timber, agricultural crop straw etc.) are important renewable resources, are world's fourth largest energy, and 14% primary energy source is being provided.China's 1998 output of being only agricultural crop straw just reach 8.1 hundred million tons, are equivalent to 3.9 hundred million tons of standard coals, account for 32.1% of total output of primary energy.Biomass are different from coal and oil as the sun power carrier, and its S content is relatively very low, and the clean discharging of energy conversion process greenhouse gases is zero.Hydrogen producing technology based on biomass is eco-friendly Sustainable development technology.
The typical quality group of biomass wooden fuel becomes: C 48%, and O 45%, H 6% and small amount of N, S and mineral substance.Consider principal element, the molecular composition of biomass can be expressed as CH
1.5O
0.7, can calculate the theoretical yield of hydrogen on this basis.If biomass and hydrogenous material reaction, then the hydrogen productive rate is higher than biomass maximum hydrogen content 6%.The water vapor gasification that typical process is biomass:
Can calculate maximum hydrogen output 165gH by above reaction path
2/ (kg biomass).
(1), (2) reaction net heat effect is heat absorption, fully must extra heat supply for reaction is carried out.Can by the biomass partial combustion to provide heat requirement.The biological quality that is used to reaction institute heat requirement is provided in gasification is up to 30-40%, and the hydrogen in this part biomass runs off with the form of water:
Reaction (1) is H
2C-O is compared in the reaction of O-biomass
2And C-CO
2Reaction is slow, and rising temperature of reaction, increase water vapor amount can be accelerated H
2O-biomass speed of response also shortens residence time of its product.Therefore, hydrogen productive rate, energy consumption, type of reactor and investment are mutual restriction in the biomass hydrogen preparation process.
General catalytic pyrolysis of biomass/gasifying reactor form is fixed bed and fluidized-bed at present, sees that from obtaining the hydrogen-rich gas purpose all there is deficiency separately in they.Catalyzer closely contacts with biomass in the fixed bed, helps producing hydrogen-rich gas, but fixed bed is difficult to reach fast pyrogenation, and the catalyst deactivation problem is outstanding; Fluidized-bed is relative dilute phase system, and the density variation of solid catalyst and biomass also can be brought outstanding problem.Since the eighties, scientists has been carried out a large amount of research trials in order to solve two kinds of reactors defective separately, wherein the improvement of fixed bed is concentrated on research to catalyst activity and anti-carbon aspect, wish to find that the novel and effective catalyzer reduces carbon distribution and prolongs the active time, and the improvement of fluidized-bed is concentrated on the fluidizing medium that the searching physical strength is fit to, traditional fluidized-bed fluidizing medium is husky, and its physical strength reaches requirement substantially.Developed the fluidizing medium with catalytic performance afterwards gradually, and attempted using rhombspar, its catalytic performance is excellent, but physical strength can't adapt to fluidized-bed.And the physical strength of the nearest peridotites of studying and catalytic performance all can satisfy the requirement of fluidized-bed.At burner of fluidized-bed downstream addition, be exclusively used in the area carbon of burn off catalyzer in order to solve this shortcoming of the rapid inactivation of fluid catalyst.Improvement on the other hand to fluidized-bed is to have developed circulating fluidized bed CFB (Circulating fluidized Bed), be characterized in realizing utilizing the circulation of fluidizing medium to realize the cycling and reutilization of whole system heat, but its fluidizing medium only serves as thermal barrier, whole gasification is not had quicken or optimization function.Also there is quite a few focus to be placed on the exploitation of fluidized-bed and fixed bed coupling technology, utilizes the advantage of fast pyrogenation of fluidized-bed and strong point that fixed bed tar transforms to solve two kinds of reactors defective separately.Domestic correlative study report is obviously less and concentrate on on-catalytic gasifying biomass aspect, and representational is that Guangzhou Energy Resource Inst., Chinese Academy of Sciences is the ciculation fluidized bed gasifying apparatus of raw material with the fine particle biomass material.Although the improvement of conventional apparatus and technology is devoted in the research work of a large amount of biology systems matter hydrogen, but still do not find more efficiently technology, no matter be fixed bed or fluidized-bed, the required heat of system all is that the partial combustion by biomass provides, thereby consumed part hydrogen in the biomass, reduced the hydrogen productive rate.This shows, answer the new Biomass Catalytic Gasification of active development to produce the hydrogen-rich gas processing method.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the deficiency of producing at present in the hydrogen-rich gas processing method, the present invention proposes a kind of new Biomass Catalytic Gasification preparing hydrogen-rich gas method, be solid thermal carriers catalytic gasification biomass hydrogen preparation technology, constitute by biomass and catalyst mix heating, biomass fast pyrogenation, catalytic gasification, catalyst solid particle regeneration circulation, make the hydrogen in the biomass be converted into purpose product hydrogen to greatest extent.
The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is: biomass closely contact with solid thermal carriers in solid catalyst thermal barrier circulating system, the fast pyrogenation gasification reaction takes place, the quality of solid thermal carriers catalyzer and biomass is 1: 1~8: 1 than scope, range of reaction temperature is 700 ℃~850 ℃, pressure is 0~0.02MPa, water vapor/biomass quality is 0.2~2.0 than scope, biomass pyrolytic tar further under the effect of solid catalyst with water vapor generation catalytic reforming reaction, generation does not contain tar or tar content hydrogen-rich gas seldom, gets product gas through the isolation of purified system.Granules of catalyst also is a thermal barrier simultaneously, by the surface of combustioncatalysts in riser tube gentleization of carbon deposit product charcoal, make granules of catalyst in cyclic regeneration, also put aside the required heat of biomass pyrogenation gasification, to finish the circulation of producing hydrogen-rich gas, regeneration promotes temperature and is controlled at 800 ℃~950 ℃.Various agricultural crop straws or biomass wastes such as granularity<5~10mm that described biomass are dried for process is broken or natural air drying is handled, the almond of moisture content<20%, beanstalk, straw, rice husk, or year light coal.
Described solid thermal carriers catalyzer is natural mineral rhombspar, peridotites and load Ni modified catalyst thereof, perovskite structure Ni is catalyst based, industrial load type Ni is catalyst based etc.
The activator of described combustioncatalysts surface gentleization of carbon deposit product charcoal is air, oxygen-rich air and hot flue gas etc.
The range of reaction temperature of main reactor is 700 ℃~850 ℃, and pressure is 0~0.02MPa, and water vapor/biomass quality is 0.2~2.0 than scope.At range of reaction temperature is 750 ℃~800 ℃, and water vapor/biomass quality is 0.4~1.2 o'clock than scope, and reaction effect is better.
The catalyzer and the unreacted biomass charcoal of part that come out from moving-burden bed reactor enter the thermal regeneration activation stage from regeneration riser tube bottom, and the regeneration riser temperature is controlled at 800 ℃~950 ℃.
