Background
The global energy supply mainly takes fossil energy as main energy, and the rapid development of the economic society is strongly supported. However, fossil energy is a non-renewable resource, and development of renewable energy is imperative in order to adapt to future economic development. Biomass is an organism formed by direct or indirect photosynthesis, has the characteristics of wide distribution, large available amount and the like, and is very important renewable energy. The biomass conversion and utilization ways are numerous, wherein the biomass thermochemical conversion raw material has wide variety adaptability, is easy to popularize and apply in large scale, and receives more and more attention.
The main products of biomass pyrolysis gasification are low-carbon hydrocarbon mixed gas such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane, and the current main process product routes are divided into three routes: firstly, the above-mentioned mixed combustible gas of biomass gasification system, the combustible gas tar content that the living beings were prepared is higher, and compares in civil gas, and the calorific value is on the low side, is difficult to the use of being incorporated into the power networks. Secondly, the synthesis gas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide is prepared by process optimization, the synthesis gas is an important chemical raw material gas, various high-added-value products can be further synthesized, but the synthesis gas prepared from biomass is low in hydrogen/carbon monoxide ratio and difficult to regulate and control, cannot reach the synthesis gas standard in the real sense, and is not beneficial to subsequent direct utilization. Patent CN103484163A discloses a method for preparing pure synthesis gas by biomass dual-mode reforming gasification, which comprises the steps of performing partial oxidation pyrolysis on biomass and oxygen, performing reforming reaction on pyrolysis products and steam under the action of a nickel-based catalyst to generate synthesis gas, wherein the synthesis gas comprises hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide. And thirdly, hydrogen-rich gas is obtained through process optimization, the hydrogen is clean, efficient and environment-friendly ideal energy, but the hydrogen production from the biomass wastes a carbon source in the biomass, the carbon source is changed into greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, and the efficient utilization of biomass resources is not realized. Patent CN104129754A discloses a biomass pyrolysis and chemical looping hydrogen production coupling continuous reaction device and a method for preparing hydrogen by using the device, biomass is firstly pyrolyzed to generate pyrolysis gas, the reduction property of the biomass pyrolysis gas is utilized to perform redox reaction with an oxygen carrier film, the oxygen carrier is reduced, finally the reduced oxygen carrier reacts with water vapor to generate hydrogen, and the oxygen carrier film is recovered.
Therefore, how to fully utilize biomass resources and improve the quality of biomass gasification product gas is a problem to be further solved.
