At the same time, the air flow can be increased by adopting low-position waste heat to heat the air flowThe effective recovery, or the effective recovery is used for controlling the temperature of the adsorption bed layer, or the low-temperature airflow is used for reducing the temperature of the adsorption bed layer and the product gas, so that the energy consumption of the subsequent process is reduced, or the cold energy is provided for other working procedures.

Description

Effective energy recovery method in PSA pressure swing adsorption separation process
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical industry, and in particular relates to a technical method for effectively recycling process airflow in the adsorbent regeneration process in a gas PSA pressure swing adsorption separation process.
Background
In the production of synthesis gas or hydrogen from coal, oil, natural gas, etc., CO is usually provided 2 And (3) removing and separating. Because the separated medium has no gas or liquid phase in the PSA pressure swing adsorption separation processThe change is carried out, the high-low pressure and high-low temperature circulation of the solution is avoided, the inlet of the bed with the largest process temperature change is basically in the normal temperature range of 5-50 ℃, and the outlet temperature of the bed is basically unchanged; the separation process does not need or consumes little energy, has no process waste liquid, and has the advantages of high automation degree and the like. The process has been successfully developed since the 1960 s of the last century and has begun industrial application. The method is widely applied to gas separation processes in industries such as global synthesis ammonia, methanol, oil refining and the like.
The PSA pressure swing adsorption separation process can also be applied to the mixture separation of various gases such as oxygen production by air separation, nitrogen production, hydrogen production by coal, hydrogen methane separation and the like.
PSA pressure swing adsorption separation processes typically involve the adsorption of substances such as CO by adsorbents 2 The adsorption amount is directly proportional to the partial pressure, and the easily adsorbed component is adsorbed from the mixed gas with adsorbent under relatively high pressure, and the non-adsorbed or difficultly adsorbed gas is H 2 Under the pushing of the pressure difference of the air flow, the air flow is pushed out of the adsorbent bed layer and the adsorption tower from the gaps among the adsorbent particles, so that the components such as H which are not easy to be adsorbed are realized 2 Separating from the mixture thereof; then under the condition of relatively low pressure, the adsorption quantity and the proportional relation of the pressure are utilized to adsorb the components such as CO 2 Desorbing and releasing the desorbed component such as CO into the space by pushing with the pressure difference of the gas flow 2 Sending the mixture into another space to realize the regeneration of the adsorbent, and leading the adsorbent to absorb CO again under the condition of high pressure 2 Is a performance of the (c).
From analysis and calculation of effective energy of inlet and outlet gases of PSA pressure swing adsorption separation process device, it is known that, in particular, H is prepared from high-carbon raw material 2 Is converted into CO 2 The content of the CO is more than 30 percent, even the CO is contained 2 The loss of the effective efficiency of the inlet and outlet gases of the PSA pressure swing adsorption separation process device is not negligible when the mixed gas pressure is 1MPa or even more than 4 MPa. For example, a large CTL coal-to-oil production line is being designed, which produces H 2 Pressure swing adsorption hydrogen production by pressure PSA at 3MPaProcess, device inlet gas total amount reaches 660000Nm 3 /h, wherein CO 2 The content reaches 45 percent, and the outlet H 2 The gas content is more than or equal to 99.9 percent, and the gas quantity is 340000Nm 3 And/h, the effective efficiency loss of the PSA separation process reaches 33000 kwh/above. The effective energy of 264kwh is directly lost in the PSA process only when one ton of fuel oil is produced, and CO is increased 2 211kg were discharged.
CN205832901U is a pressure swing adsorption system residual pressure residual energy recycling device, is connected to a main air pipe through an analysis air pipe and a reverse air release pipe, and is connected with a turbine after passing through a preheating pipe, and the turbine is connected with a generator to recycle residual pressure. Because the reverse desorption suction pressure is reduced by 90 percent, even more than 99 percent compared with the inlet pressure of the PSA device, most of the original pressure effective performance is dissipated in the molecular thermal motion of the air flow in the pressure equalizing and forward releasing process and is conducted to the contacted substances (adsorbent, components and walls) to be lost, and the substances are not recovered at all. Even if the heating pipe is arranged to heat the gas, the effective energy of the gas is increased, and the reverse desorption gas pressure is low, and the gas quantity is small, so that the effective energy recovery is very limited, and the thought, the mode and the device for recovering and utilizing the residual energy have not been paid attention in the industry.
CN101285638B utilizes the semi-open type coalbed methane nitrogen expansion liquefaction process of pressure swing adsorption residual pressure, CN101285639B utilizes the coalbed methane nitrogen expansion liquefaction process of pressure swing adsorption residual pressure precooling, and only the high-pressure potential energy of non-adsorption phase nitrogen which is discharged into the atmospheric environment after being discharged out of the tower is recycled, adiabatic expansion refrigeration is carried out through an expander, and the effective energy of the air flow lost in the pressure swing adsorption pressure equalizing, forward discharging and final flushing process is not recycled, so that process optimization and energy recovery are carried out.
A gas is adsorbed, essentially by the attractive forces that exist between the adsorbent micro-electromagnetic structure and the adsorbed gas micro-electromagnetic structure, and the amount of adsorbed is proportional to its partial pressure at a given temperature. The pressure swing adsorption separation process utilizes the characteristic, and the partial pressure found by daltons is in direct proportion to the volume fraction, namely the law of daltons partial pressure; by adopting a special technological process, the partial pressure of the container filled with the specific adsorbent can be orderly changed by changing the pressure in a plurality of containers which are communicated with each other and can be separated, and the volume fraction of the mixed gas can be changed, so that the continuous separation of the mixed gas is realized.
The mixed gas is separated in the adsorption bed under isothermal condition, the heat release of the adsorption phase is almost absorbed by the adsorbent, and the mass of the adsorbent is far greater than that of the mixed gas in an adsorption separation period, (2) the adsorption phase is mainly concentrated in the lower half part of the adsorption bed layer, so that the temperature rise of the general medium adsorption process, especially the outlet of the adsorption tower, is negligible in the general industrial process design.
In industrial processes, whether PSA isothermal separation, cryocondensation separation, or solvent physical/chemical absorption separation, membrane separation processes, the minimum separation work required for gas separation is typically provided by the mixed gas at the inlet of the separation device. But is just high CO such as hydrogen production by coal, ammonia production by coal, and the like 2 In the PSA separation process, the process gas does not have phase change liquefaction with greatly reduced volume, and key physical conditions are provided for greatly recovering energy loss in the decompression separation process.
