China coal mine ventilation air methane (also called coal mine air methane discharge, C)CH4<1%) and extracted low-concentration gas (C)CH4<30%) are particularly large, reaching over 250 billions of cubic meters per year, but because of the low methane concentration and the great difficulty in utilization, these gas gases are usually directly discharged into the atmosphere, causing serious energy waste and greenhouse gas pollution. Therefore, the high-efficiency utilization of the ventilation air and the extracted low-concentration gas has important significance for relieving the energy crisis and improving the ecological environment.
At present, the utilization technology of ventilation air methane and extracted low-concentration gas mainly comprises a separation and purification technology, a combustion power generation technology and a countercurrent oxidation technology. The separation and purification technology has complex process and high cost, and the purification efficiency of ventilation air methane and low-concentration gas is low; the combustion power generation technology mainly comprises a power generation technology of an internal combustion engine and a gas turbine, the technology can convert chemical energy in gas into electric energy only by a multi-stage energy conversion process of heat energy, mechanical energy and the like, wherein related mechanical operation parts are complex, the technology has the defects of low power generation efficiency (< 30%), poor reliability, large noise and the like, and in addition, the atmospheric pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and the like are discharged in the power generation process; the countercurrent oxidation technology is mainly applied to mine ventilation air methane, the technology enables the gas with ultralow concentration to be slowly oxidized in a reactor and emit heat, but the energy conversion rate is low, and the technology is mainly applied to mine heat supply at present and has poor economic benefit.
The solid oxide fuel cell is an all-solid-state clean and efficient energy conversion device, can directly convert chemical energy in fuel into electric energy, has high power generation efficiency (more than 50 percent), and does not generate gas pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and the like and noise pollution. The existing solid oxide fuel cell power generation technology mainly uses pure hydrogen or pure methane as fuel, and does not use ventilation air with a large amount of air or extracted low-concentration gas as fuel. However, if the solid oxide fuel cell uses ventilation air or extracted low-concentration gas as fuel, there is a risk of gas explosion, and problems such as oxidation destruction, carbon deposition, and poisoning of the anode may occur. Therefore, a safe, reliable and efficient solid oxide fuel cell direct power generation technology using ventilation air or low-concentration gas is needed.
