Description

Method for preparing ammonia gas by reducing algae slurry by fluidized bed electrochemical technology
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electrochemical ammonia production, and particularly relates to a method for preparing ammonia by reducing algae slurry by using a fluidized bed electrochemical technology.
Background
As a second-place commercial chemical in the current generation, ammonia is not only a basic raw material for grain and industrial production, but also an important energy carrier for a zero-carbon economic system due to the outstanding advantages of hydrogen and carbon richness, high energy density, easiness in storage and transportation and the like. In the century hot tide of carbon peaking, carbon neutralization, the economic production and safe utilization of ammonia is becoming a focus of global attention. The haber-Bosch method has high inherent efficiency in ammonia production, contributes more than 90% of the ammonia synthesis amount in the world, renovates the nitrogen ecology cycle supply mode, and faces increasingly severe energy consumption and carbon emission problems under the era principle of global carbon emission reduction. The haber method consumes a large amount of fossil fuels, is used for reforming to prepare hydrogen, provides driving energy for reaction, and maintains harsh reaction conditions of high temperature (400-600 ℃) and high pressure (20-40 MPa), thereby consuming 3% of the total energy of the world and generating carbon emission of over 4.5 million tons every year. Based on renewable energy, the method for preparing ammonia in green with low energy consumption and mild reaction conditions is explored.
The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction ammonia production is carried out by adopting renewable electric energy such as solar energy, wind energy and the like to drive reaction, electrolytic water replaces methane reforming to serve as a hydrogen source, the energy of the system is changed by regulating and controlling an interface electric field, the high-temperature and high-pressure reaction condition is avoided, the contradiction limitation between ammonia nitrogen conversion kinetics and thermodynamics can be broken, the advantages are highlighted in the aspects of raw material selection, energy supply, production regulation and control and the like, the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction ammonia production has industrial development potential for replacing the Haber method to produce ammonia, and the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction ammonia production method is a research hotspot in the field of current green ammonia synthesis. However, N 2 The non-polar linear molecule is a non-polar linear molecule consisting of nitrogen triple bonds (N ≡ N), has large first ionization energy and stable chemical property, has large energy band gap (10.82 eV) between the highest occupied orbit and the lowest empty orbit, has negative electron affinity (-1.9 eV) and high ionization potential (15.8 eV), blocks electron gain and loss, and increases the difficulty of activated fracture of nitrogen molecules. Aiming at the technical bottleneck that nitrogen is not easy to activate and adsorb, the existing research is usually carried out through the design modification of a catalytic material and the cooperative optimization of an electrocatalysis system so as to reduce the dissociation energy barrier of nitrogen and increase the ammonia production rate of electrocatalysis synthesis ammonia. ElectrocatalysisThe ammonia production by nitrogen reduction has achieved stage progress with good results, but still faces a plurality of challenges, the solubility and mass transfer diffusion rate of nitrogen are low, the adsorption and activation difficulty of an inert nitrogen triple bond is large, and a hydrogen evolution competition reaction exists, so that the ammonia production rate is only mu g ∙ cm -2 ∙h -1 In order of magnitude, the Faraday efficiency is generally lower than 10%, and far from reaching the basic standard of commercialization. Therefore, the steps of enhancing the dissolution, mass transfer and activation of nitrogen are key scientific problems to be solved urgently in the electrochemical catalytic synthesis of ammonia.
The algae biomass used as the third generation biofuel rich in hydrogen has the outstanding advantages of large storage amount, high growth rate, strong environmental adaptability, neutral carbon and the like, can efficiently adsorb nitrogen and phosphorus elements in a eutrophic water system, has the body nitrogen content of 5-10 wt.%, is not suitable for direct combustion use, but has excellent ammonia nitrogen recovery potential. An emerging ammonia production technology based on catalytic cracking of algae is originally disclosed as Zhengrong, and the nutrient value of algae nitrogen is expected to be preserved at a mild pyrolysis temperature and in a reducing atmosphere, so that internal organic nitrogen is preserved as NH 3 The form is that the main body escapes. The nitrogen-rich algae biomass cracking process of preparing ammonia includes using self-source nitrogen as ammonia synthesizing nitrogen source, replacing partial hydrogen source with hydrogen-rich active component for supply, and introducing water vapor and H 2 Under the mixed atmosphere, the desorption of amino groups of amide, pyrrole and pyridine is accelerated by a ZSM-5 molecular sieve and a Zr-based or perovskite catalyst, and the nitrogen-containing pyrolysis gasification semi-product is promoted to be directionally converted into NH 3 . However, the reaction temperature contradiction exists in the thermal cracking of algae to prepare ammonia, the ammoniation efficiency has a larger promotion space, and the high temperature can promote the gaseous transformation of stable nitrogen species, but can also make the product NH 3 Further decomposed into N 2 And H 2 Low temperature pyrolysis cannot completely crack nitrogen-containing heterocycles, so that about 47% of the self-derived nitrogen remains in the nitrogen-containing groups of the coke, such as graphite nitrogen, pyridine nitrogen, pyrrole nitrogen, nitrogen oxide, and the like. In addition, the algae has extremely high water content (>90 wt.%) to make it dry and dehydrate, and the energy consumption for internal aqueous phase transformation is very large, and the economic prospect of directly adopting thermochemical conversion to prepare ammonia is questionable.
In conclusion, the existing technical route for preparing ammonia by electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction has two technical problems,one is N 2 The solubility and the mass transfer diffusion rate of the catalyst are low, the adsorption and activation difficulty of the inert nitrogen triple bond N [ identical to ] N is high, and hydrogen evolution competition reaction exists, so that the reaction rate of preparing ammonia by electro-catalytic nitrogen reduction is low, and the ammonia production efficiency is low; secondly, the temperature range of the ammonia preparation by algae thermochemical cracking is limited, and the high temperature can cause the product NH 3 Further decomposed into N 2 And H 2 And the low-temperature pyrolysis can not completely crack the nitrogen-containing heterocycle, so that the ammonia production efficiency is low, and meanwhile, the economic prospect of the algae is questioned due to the extremely high water content.
Aiming at the problems, the application adopts algae self-source nitrogen (nitrogen-containing organic matters) to replace N in the conventional electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction ammonia production 2 As an ammonia source, the method for preparing ammonia by reducing the algae slurry by using the fluidized bed electrochemical technology is provided, the speed control steps of mass transfer and activation of nitrogen in the electrochemical catalytic synthesis of ammonia can be avoided, and a brand new thought is provided for a green sustainable ammonia preparation process.
