Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for thermochemical conversion of educts which contain high molecular weight organic components into low molecular weight products which comprise organic, liquid at room temperature, flammable products.
- Experiencing pyrolylyvs Pyrolysis processes are known which are used on an industrial scale for the conversion of oganic waste materials; the case NECESSARY temperatures are usually higher than 800 0 C.
- the pyrolysis products are very small molecules, which are in gaseous form and are therefore reused directly, for example as synthesis gases. Disadvantages are the high temperatures on the one hand in terms of energy expenditure and on the other hand because of the risk of dioxin formation, if the waste reacted chlorine are.
- the gases produced require extensive Gasremistsreac, and the gaseous Pyiolyseuzeuzeuze are not directly but only after additional and thus the Cost-increasing conversion processes can be used as petrochemical recyclables or as conventional engine fuel Under Development low temperature Flashpyrolyseclar in the temperature range between about 400 0 C and 500 0 C which are performed, for example for the direct liquefaction of wood in fluidized bed reactors, lead to inferior oil products which do not meet the quality expecta- conventional motor fuels. As a rule, these products have high oxygen and water contents and therefore low calorific values, are corrosive and as a rule thermodynamically unstable.
- thermochemical processes for the liquefaction of woody biomass which work with water as the reaction medium under very high pressures up to over 200 bar and at temperatures up to about 400 ° C and require expensive equipment.
- the products of these methods have also not met the quality requirements of conventional motor fuels to date, as it is more of a viscous tar than an oil with high oxygen contents and correspondingly low calorific value.
- Hydrogenating pressure conversion Also known is the hydrogenation under pressure in stirred tanks or flow reactors to improve the product quality in the liquefaction of organic materials with hydrogen deficiency such. As coals, or of organic substances with increased oxygen content such. Wood. Disadvantageous prove in these methods, the high cost, which arise because of very high operating pressures of over 100 bar, high consumption of expensive hydrogen, high residence times of the substances to be reacted in the reactor, considerable catalyst use and unsatisfactory product yield.
- Single-stage hydrostatic pressure conversion This process is used to produce liquid fuels and fuels from biomass. Also in the direct liquefaction of organic substances by single-stage hydrogenating Pressure conversion is pressures up to 100 bar or 20-80 bar hydrogen pressure and temperatures of 450 ° C necessary. It comes because of the high temperatures to strong coking because the Kokskristall Strukturstemperatur is 420 ° C. This process leads to increased deposits in the pipes, resulting in longer service lives and high maintenance costs. The process works after shock heating of the raw materials in combination with heavy oil circulation with an integrated bottom phase reactor, which makes difficult technical demands on the reactor: It has to fulfill both distillation functions and strip functions in order to selectively absorb gas streams. The mass and energy balance in this process is 100% wood as starting material with an oil yield of about 31% oil, but the energy yield is 73%. Both the high oxygen content and the high sulfur content in the product are unsatisfactory in these processes.
- catalytic pressure-free oiling catalytic cracking
- Catalytic liquefaction of biomass at 350 ° C to 400 0 C under atmospheric pressure is used for producing kohlenwasserstoffrei- chen liquid fuels and fuels.
- This process was originally developed to extract fuels from waste oils and oil shale. The process always works with the addition of catalysts.
- the temperatures can also be between 280 ° C to 350 ° C.
- a disadvantage of this process is that a comparatively high proportion of catalyst of about 1% of the raw material quantity is required and that a high proportion of precipitation products is formed.
- the residence time in the reactor is about 3 minutes, so that no very large throughputs are possible.
- the yield of organic substances is unsatisfactory.
- DE 103 16 969 A1 discloses a process for the catalytic treatment of residues in the tube bundle reactor for the conversion of hydrocarbon-containing residues, wherein an oil for use in diesel engines is produced using special ion-exchanging catalysts in the oil-catalyst suspension cycle.
- DE 100 49 377 C2 sets out a process in which the residues are decomposed in a circulating in evaporator and reactor recycled carrier oil using sodium aluminum silicate as a catalyst inter alia in diesel oil.
- DE 199 41 497 A1 also describes a process for the catalytic oiling of hydrocarbon-containing residues, which is characterized by the mixing of the residues with catalysts of aluminum silicate in a distillation vessel and by the use of a combustion vessel with honeycomb catalyst, wherein the polluted catalysts together after removal be placed in a Schwel authorer with residues.
- EP 1 538 191 A1 describes the production of diesel oil from hydrocarbon-containing residues using doped aluminum silicates as catalysts, in which the energy input through pumps and counter-rotating agitators takes place in an oil circuit with solids separation and product distillation, and the surfaces are continuously fed by the agitators getting cleaned.
- EP 1 101 812 B1 discloses a process for the conversion of chlorine-containing plastic waste into oil, which, however, is carried out using supercritical water.

- a process for (direct) thermochemical conversion of educts comprising higher molecular weight organic components in low molecular weight organic liquid at room temperature products in a first step, heating the reactants to reaction temperature for performing an at least partial cracking reaction in a bottom phase under hydrogenating Conditions.
- a separation of the individual phases of the three-phase reaction mixture takes place, wherein this phase separation is designed such that the implementation of a first stage causes a product-oriented residence time control of the individual phases, respectively components.
- Particularly advantageous is the at least partial recycling of the low-volatility product fraction into the bottom phase, since their catalytic properties substantially contribute to obtaining the desired product yield and purity.
- Transfer of the volatile Product fractions after a first phase separation into a next reaction stage, which can be carried out in a second reactor, and repressurizing cracking and hydrolysis reactions in the presence of a catalyzing bottoms provides a further advantageous increase in the yield of the desired product and, moreover, improves its purity because its heteroatom content can be lowered.
- the process can be adapted and optimized in the two step sequences, for example with regard to the pressurization of the reaction vessels.
- the system allows the switching or flexible handling of the sequences of steps, which contributes to an economic reaction leadership; both in terms of the energy to be used and the reactants, as well as in terms of time.
- a catalytic pressure-free cracking or cleaning can be performed, which can be followed by a hydrostatic pressure conversion, if the educts make sense.
- it can be cracked under pressure and hydrogenated without pressure.
- it is also possible to follow the cracking under pressure, possibly resulting Kokskomponenten a pyrolysis step: So these hard cokes are converted into product oil.
- both cracking and hydrogenation are either carried out both under pressure or both under pressure.
- the bottoms produced in the process which contain catalytic components, are always returned to the first catalyzed stage and thus support the process in an advantageous manner.
- the person skilled in the art who knows the properties of the starting products, can thus by choosing the named alternatives, combined with the selective handling of the paste Pressure and temperature, favorably determine the quality of the product and improve the energy balance.
- the educts under autocatalytic circulation of the heavy-volatile product fraction in the bottom phase reactor under pressure cracking with selective product-oriented residence time control is performed and in the second step sequence, the raw material is processed in a non-pressurized rotary reactor.
- the reasons for choosing this procedure can be determined by the educt composition.
- the inventive device according to claim 29 is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention. It essentially comprises two heatable reactors with at least one inlet and one outlet device each for charging with educt and for removing product and intermediate product. It is advantageous if at least one of the reactors is a pressure reactor, so that, for example, the hydrogenation can be carried out under pressure.
- a first phase separator is arranged on or in the first reactor, so that the reaction mixture can be separated into its volatile and nonvolatile constituents.
- the volatile constituents, which ultimately contain the target product, namely low-viscosity, combustible oil, are transferred from the first reactor to the second reactor for further refining;
- both reactors are in direct fluid communication with each other.
- phase separators which are also connected to the first reactor.
- Various embodiments of the device according to the invention are equipped with different phase separation, gas separation, condensation or distillation or heating devices which are known to the person skilled in the art and which are matched to the product-dependent requirements.
- Raw materials or educts In principle, the process of the present invention for direct thermochemical conversion into low-viscosity and combustible at room temperature liquids, the following organic substances or organic substances containing mixtures or "starting materials" subjected: Carbonaceous substances or mixtures consisting of long-chain or crosslinked Molecules like Renewable resources, such as biomass, energy crops or vegetable oil and animal fat, or waste starting from hydrocarbons such as plastic waste, used and heavy oils, on celluloses of plant origin including their processing products such as contaminated wood waste and corresponding household waste fractions. Also suitable are organic protein-containing waste materials, which also include animal waste. Further suitable substances to be converted are sediments with increased organic content, such as fine-grained sieve fractions of dredged material from harbor waters and sewage sludge as starting materials.
- Thermochemical transformation This essentially means two terms, namely classic cracking, ie the conversion of long-chain into shorter-chain molecules, and cleaning. Cleaning is particularly in question when dirty oil is to be converted into a higher quality product. The oil is then substantially distilled off and the residue or sump further worked up.
- low-grade organic products are the following low-viscosity substances or liquids with a high proportion of hydrocarbons and high added value, such as petrochemical heteroatom-poor or -free recyclables and motor fuels, just to name a few examples ,
- Target products are especially pure high-quality organic products, namely essentially pure hydrocarbons, which thus consist only of the elements carbon and hydrogen and contain no heteroatoms.
- Heteroatoms Hydrocarbons that are not pure may contain heteroatoms. These include atoms in the hydrocarbon which are not carbon or hydrogen. At least one carbon or hydrogen is replaced in the hydrocarbon by a heteroatom such as nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus or metal.
- Raw materials with a low content of heteroatoms are for example used and heavy oils but also polyethylene and similar plastics.
- high heteroatom content ingredients include biological substances of plant and animal origin. Accordingly, raw materials can also be characterized by their heteroatom content.
- Inorganic constituents of the educts In addition to the abovementioned organic substances, inorganic constituents are to be taken into consideration, which are among others. a. Minerals or ash but also pure metals include z. B. are included in electrical cable and car tire waste. The inorganic proportions of said wastes or starting materials vary in content and composition. Old and heavy oils and pure plastic fractions, but also pure biomass fractions usually contain very low levels of ash. By contrast, in the case of bone meal and port silt, the inorganic content may be more than 50% by weight.
- Product oil The main reaction products produced by reacting the products according to the process of the invention are so-called product oils, which are the target fraction of low molecular weight liquid fuels.
- Temperature conditions are no longer distinguishable, there is a supercritical fluid or a supercritical state, in the present process in the range of 20 to 80 bar.
- a selective product-oriented residence time control means the use of an integrated phase separation in one of the reactors used, wherein the phase separation comprises a distillation or stripping function or a combination of both, so that the residence time of the heavy and the volatile components in the reactor can be specifically controlled.
- the cracking products are immediately and selectively removed from the reaction zone when their molecules have just reached the desired chain length.
- the non-volatile product stream circulated in the circuit has a different residence time in the reactor than the raw materials, because these raw materials usually already consist of various chemical components which require component-specific, different residence times in order to convert into product.
- the method according to the invention can be carried out according to three alternatives:
- Alternative 2 Procedure as in alternative 1, but with reverse handling of the pressures in the reactors. This advantageous alternative 2 can further reduce the oxygen content and the sulfur content in the product oil, whereby the oil yield and the energy yield are considerably increased.
- Alternative 3 With regard to the first phase, it is advantageously carried out in the same way as the first alternative, that is to say that after severe heating of the raw materials in the autocatalytic cycle of the low-volatility product, cracking under pressure in a bottom-phase reactor; the residence time in the reactor is selective and product oriented. In the second phase, the resulting so-called "hard” cokes are now subjected to a pyrolytic step, so that takes place at temperatures of up to 1400 0 C, a transfer to the product oil.
- the shock heating with subsequent pressureless oiling is achieved by heating the raw materials in a few seconds or fractions of seconds to reaction temperature.
- This rapid heating according to the invention can be realized for example by directly introducing sufficiently comminuted raw material into the intensively mixed bottom phase of the reactor.
- the raw materials are first preheated to a temperature just below the respective lowest cracking temperature of their components.
- a shock-heating treatment with subsequent depressurisation results when used in combination with the recirculation of the low volatility product phase produced in the reactor.
- shock heating with pressureless oiling and heavy oil circuit guidance in accordance with the invention combines with swamp phase reaction and selectively product-oriented residence time control. It was found that this can significantly increase the product yield, the oxygen and sulfur content drops significantly and the energy balance increases accordingly.
- the aspect of the selective product-oriented residence time control is achieved by either at least the first or the second reactor being equipped with an integrated phase separation or phase separation device and having novel distillation or stripping properties or combinations thereof.
- the phase separator When the phase separator is connected to the first reactor or drains through simple handling of the reactor, the second reactor operates after the first phase separation or phase separation stage followed by re-oiling.
- the first reactor obtains the distillation function according to the invention when it is simultaneously operated as an evaporator at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. This volatile or vaporizable components are removed from the liquid reaction mixture by going into the vapor phase.
- a stripping function according to the invention is achieved when a carrier gas stream is passed through the liquid reaction mixture which selectively absorbs volatile components from the reaction mixture. Both measures can be combined if the Reactor operates at boiling temperature, while a carrier gas stream is passed through the liquid reaction mixture.
- distillation and stripping function can be used to improve the process in the process of the invention. They depend in particular on the sometimes unusual thermodynamic phase equilibrium behavior of the material systems at elevated pressures and temperatures.
