Deoxygenation catalyst and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a deoxidation catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof, in particular to a coal bed methane deoxidation composite catalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
China is a large coal producing country, coal bed gas with different concentrations can be produced due to coal production every year, and developing effective coal bed gas utilization technology and reducing direct emission of methane are a component part for building an energy-saving and environment-friendly sustainable development mode and building a low-carbon economic system in China. The method has the advantages that the low-grade energy source coal bed gas is practically and reasonably developed by combining energy conservation and emission reduction and improvement of the requirement on the environment, the low-grade energy source coal bed gas is well converted into available resources, the application range and the scale of the coal bed gas are expanded, the utilization efficiency of the coal bed gas is improved, the dual meanings of energy conservation and environmental protection are realized, the national planning on energy policies is met, the control of the international environmental protection organization on the greenhouse effect is met, the strong support of China on the development and the use of the low-grade energy source is better met, and the domestic rapid development of the coal bed gas industry is promoted.
The key point of the development and utilization of the coal bed gas is to remove oxygen in the coal bed gas, and the existing coal bed gas deoxidation technology mainly comprises a pressure swing adsorption separation method, a coke combustion method, a catalytic deoxidation method and the like. Chinese patent ZL85103557 discloses a method for separating and enriching methane from coal bed gas by using a pressure swing adsorption method. Generally, the oxygen content of the exhaust gas discharged in the concentration and purification process of methane is also concentrated and improved, and the exhaust gas inevitably contains 5-15% of methane, so that the discharged exhaust gas is in the explosion limit range of methane, and explosion danger exists, so that the application of the technology is limited.
The deoxidation method by using coke combustion (ZL 02113627.0, 200610021720.1) is characterized in that oxygen in methane-rich gas reacts with coke under the high-temperature condition, and part of methane reacts with oxygen to achieve the aim of deoxidation. The advantage is that about 70% of the oxygen reacts with coke and 30% of the oxygen reacts with methane, so that methane losses are smaller. But the disadvantage is that the precious coke resource is consumed, and the coke consumption cost accounts for about 50 percent of the whole operation cost. In addition, the coke deoxidation method has high labor intensity during coke feeding and slag discharging, large environmental dust and difficulty in realizing self-control operation and large-scale production, and the coke contains sulfides in various forms, so that the sulfur content in the gas after oxygen removal is increased.
The essence of the catalytic deoxidation process is that methane is catalytically combusted under rich-fuel oxygen-poor atmosphere, and CH is subjected to catalytic oxidation under the action of a proper catalyst4Oxidative conversion to CO2And H2And O, the oxygen content in the coal bed gas can be reduced to be below 0.5 percent in the process, and the potential safety hazard in the operation process is thoroughly eliminated. Meanwhile, the process is simple and convenient to operate, automatic control and large-scale expansion are facilitated, equipment is simple, and the technology has a good commercial value in the aspect of economy. Catalytic deoxidation can be divided into two main categories, namely noble metal catalysts and non-noble metal catalysts according to active components of the catalysts.
The technology for researching the supported noble metal catalyst at home and abroad is mature. For example, rare earth cerium component with oxygen storage and release functions is added into a catalyst system for the large-scale ligation of Chinese academy of sciences to prepare the novel supported palladium noble metal catalyst, and the oxygen concentration in produced gas is within 0.1 percent and the oxygen conversion rate is higher than 96 percent after the deoxidation treatment of coal bed gas with the methane concentration of 39.15 percent and the oxygen concentration of 12.6 percent. Since the noble metal catalyst is expensive and has limited resources, the range of application is limited. And the non-noble metal oxide catalyst has low cost and easy availability, so the catalyst is greatly concerned. However, the non-noble metal is limited by activity, and the reaction needs to be carried out at a higher temperature, so that the energy consumption is higher.
