Background
Coal, petroleum and natural gas are three major primary energy sources in the world, wherein coal accounts for about 79% of the world energy reserves, and coal is one of the main fuel resources for generating power, heat, coal tar processing and by-product asphalt. China is a country with coal as a main energy structure, and the coal cannot be changed for a long time in the future, and according to statistics, the coal reaches 63.7% in a primary energy consumption structure of China in 2015. With the increasing shortage of petroleum resources, the effective utilization of coal resources has become a strategy for sustainable development of energy in China. The reserve of low-rank coal in China accounts for more than 55% of the total amount of coal resources, but the low-rank coal has high water content, low coalification degree and low direct combustion efficiency, thereby not only wasting resources, but also polluting the environment and causing the emission of acid rain, PM2.5, SOx, NOx and other greenhouse gases. The coal gasification technology is a key technology for realizing clean, efficient and comprehensive utilization of coal, is an important way for coal conversion, and is also one of key technologies for synthesizing chemicals, combined cycle power generation and preparing substitute natural gas from coal. The method is a key for realizing sustainable energy development in China and is an effective way for solving the global energy and environment problems.
China is the largest coal gasification technology application market in the world, and at present, various coal gasification technologies have been successfully applied in industrialization. The prior art widely belongs to an entrained flow gasification technology, and the carbon conversion rate is improved at the cost of high temperature and high pressure, so that the problems of high energy consumption, difficult gas purification, strict requirements on equipment and the like are caused. At the same time, the excessive operating temperatures of entrained flow slag gasification technology increase the investment, maintenance and operating costs of the entrained flow. Research reports of the American Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) indicate that the existing industrial entrained-flow gasifier is not suitable for the gasification of high-ash and high-ash fusion-point coal, and the world needs an industrialized fluidized bed gasification technology. The fluidized bed technology has the nature of adapting to high ash melting point and high ash coal types no matter combustion or gasification, and the evidence proves that the circulating fluidized bed boiler successfully combusts coal gangue.
Patent CN102212399B discloses a pyrolysis and gasification combined method and device, which proposes that fuel is pyrolyzed in a low-speed bed pyrolysis furnace, semicoke is sent into a circulating fluidized bed gasification furnace through a material returning device for gasification, and coal gas generated by the gasification furnace carries solid particles to enter a cyclone separator; the solid particles collected by the cyclone separator are sent above a dense-phase area of the pyrolysis furnace to provide heat for fuel pyrolysis. The device adopts a circulating fluidized bed as a gasification furnace, or the gasification furnace has large volume and high energy consumption; or high carbon conversion rate cannot be ensured, and gasification strength is low.
Patent CN102504842A discloses a three fluidized bed solid heat carrier coal pyrolysis gasification combustion cascade utilization method. The method takes high-temperature circulating ash as a solid heat carrier, coal is mixed with the high-temperature circulating ash in a fluidized bed pyrolysis furnace, volatile matters are separated out by heat generation, the volatile matters are cooled and separated to obtain tar and pyrolysis coal gas, pyrolysis semicoke generated by coal pyrolysis is sent to a fluidized bed gasification furnace, gasification reaction is carried out by taking steam and O2 as gasification agents to prepare synthesis gas, the semicoke which is not completely gasified in the gasification furnace is sent to a circulating fluidized bed combustion furnace, air is blown in for conventional combustion, or O2/CO2 is blown in for oxygen-enriched combustion, the solid heat carrier circulating ash is heated, and high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion is used for producing gasification agent steam required by the gasification furnace. The utility model has the advantages that the pyrolysis gasification burning step through the coal utilizes the coproduction that has realized tar, pyrolysis coal gas and synthetic gas, but its burning, pyrolysis, gasified heat step utilization order is unreasonable, has the space of further improvement and optimization to the rational utilization of energy.
In summary, although the existing pyrolysis-gasification coupled staged utilization technology solves the disadvantages of the traditional gasification technology for preparing synthesis gas and pyrolysis oil to a certain extent, the carbon conversion rate and gasification intensity are low due to the adoption of fluidized bed technology and process condition limitations. Therefore, how to further improve the carbon conversion rate and gasification strength, reasonably utilize the heat gradient utilization of combustion, gasification and pyrolysis and realize the true quality-grading, high-efficiency and clean utilization of the pyrolysis-gasification integrated pulverized coal is the key for the development of the coal gasification technology.
