Description

Oxygen donor particles and manufacturing method thereof

The present invention relates to an oxygen donor particle and a method for producing the same.

Due to the greenhouse effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, the global average temperature has risen, causing damage to climate change. Thermal power plants are the largest source of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions.

Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from thermal power plants can be achieved through carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technology. However, when CCS technology is applied to power plants, power generation efficiency is reduced, resulting in an increase in power generation costs. Therefore, new technologies are required to minimize the reduction of power generation efficiency and to lower the cost of CO 2 capture.

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) technology is attracting attention as a technology that can separate CO 2 source without compromising power generation efficiency. Since the media circulating combustion technology burns fuel with oxygen contained in metal oxides instead of air, only gas and CO 2 are included in the gas discharged after combustion of the fuel. Therefore, when only the removal of condensed water vapor exhaust gas is possible because the CO 2 source separated, leaving the CO 2. Media circulating combustion technology uses oxygen donor particles as the oxygen transfer medium. In the medium circulating combustion process, a fluidized bed reactor (reduction reactor) and a reduced oxygen donor particle receive oxygen from air and oxidize when oxygen contained in the oxygen donor particle is delivered to the fuel and the oxygen donor particle is reduced. A circulating fluidized-bed process is used in which a fluidized bed reactor (oxidation reactor) in which an oxidizing reaction takes place is composed of a combination connected to each other.

Therefore, the oxygen donor particles must satisfy various conditions suitable for the fluidized bed process characteristics. First of all, it should have a pore structure that is advantageous for the fluidized bed process, that is, sufficient strength, shape suitable for flow, packing density or packing density, average particle size, particle size distribution and diffusion of the reaction gas. In addition, it has a high oxygen transfer capacity in terms of reactivity so that it can supply enough oxygen for combustion of fuel while it passes through the fuel reactor.

Oxygen donor particles can also be used for media circulation reforming. The medium circulation reforming is a technique for producing hydrogen from a fuel by using oxygen exchange characteristics of oxygen donor particles, and may use a circulating fluidized bed process.

Impregnation, coprecipitation, physical mixing method of mixing raw materials with water, kneading, drying, sintering and pulverizing to form particles ) And freeze granulation are mainly used. However, the oxygen donor particles prepared by these methods are not suitable for the fluidized bed process due to the physical properties such as shape after filling, particle size and strength, or low metal oxide content, and thus are not suitable for mass production or mass production. .

Spray-drying method has been used as a method for producing large quantities of oxygen donor particles having suitable physical properties for fluidized bed process. In order to form a spherical particle having a particle size distribution of several tens to several hundred microns by spraying a slurry obtained by mixing a raw material with water using a nozzle, a manufacturing process for making the slurry to have homogeneous and stable fluidity characteristics is very important. Incorrect control of the slurry properties results in the formation of ellipsoidal, donut-shaped, grooved particles rather than spherical particles, which increases the wear of the particles during the fluidized bed process. Oxygen donor particles produced by the spray drying method shown in the literature is a significant portion of the prepared particles are shown in the form of doughnut or grooved, there is a need for improvement.

In general, oxygen donor particles are composed of an active material metal oxide and a support. Here, the support serves to increase the dispersion of the metal oxides, to impart strength to the particles, and to suppress sintering of the metal oxides that may occur during the medium circulation combustion process. That is, the reactivity and physical properties of the oxygen donor particles finally prepared according to the type of the support will show a difference.

Conventionally, oxygen donor particles using alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) as a support material of a NiO active material have been proposed. Oxygen donor particles prepared using the alumina have high strength. In addition, oxygen donor particles prepared by adding magnesia (MgO) to a support material containing alumina have been proposed to increase fuel conversion of oxygen donor particles and to suppress agglomeration between particles. However, when the oxygen donor particles are manufactured, sprayed and dried particles (Green body) are subjected to a sintering process to achieve strength, and at this time, part of NiO strongly interacts with the support material to form a stable compound, thereby delivering oxygen. There is a problem that causes a decrease in capacity. For example, when NiO and alumina are used, nickel aluminate (NiAl 2 O 4 ) is produced during the firing process.

Accordingly, alpha alumina (α-Al 2 O 3 ), which is a structurally stable form, to reduce the interaction between the metal oxide and the support material; Nickel oxide oxygen donor particles prepared by spray drying using magnesium aluminate (MgAl 2 O 4 ) and / or a mixture of alpha alumina and magnesia (MgO) as a support material have been proposed. However, in this case, since the support is structurally very stable form, the spray-formed particles should be fired at a high temperature of 1400 ° C. or more in order to obtain the strength required for the fluidized bed process application. When the firing is performed at a high temperature of 1400 ° C. or higher, the packing density of the particles is increased after firing, so that more energy is consumed in the fluidization, and the interaction between the active material and the support is increased by the high temperature firing, resulting in a problem of lowering oxygen transfer ability. Done. In addition, there is a problem that the firing cost due to high temperature firing also rises.

Therefore, there is a need for a method for producing oxygen donor particles that can secure sufficient strength required in a fluidized bed process while lowering the firing temperature in order to improve oxygen transfer capacity of oxygen donor particles and to reduce particle manufacturing costs due to high temperature firing of large oxygen donor particles. Do.

The present invention is a fertilizer comprising a mixture of calcium oxide (CaO), barium oxide (BaO) and boron oxide (B 2 O 3 ) as a binder in addition to the metal oxide and the support component, which has been mainly used to prepare oxygen donor particles Oxygen donor particles are produced by spray-drying method using CBB as a raw material for particle production, and oxygen donor has excellent strength at lower firing temperature and excellent oxygen transfer ability and suitable properties for fluidized bed process. Particles can be provided.

Active substance; A support; And

An oxygen donor particle raw material composition comprising a binder containing calcium oxide, barium oxide and boron oxide.

Hereinafter, the oxygen donor particle raw material composition according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

In the present invention, the active material means a material capable of delivering oxygen to fuel and receiving oxygen from air or steam again. In the present invention, the type of the active material is not particularly limited and may be, for example, a metal oxide. Specific examples of the metal oxides include copper oxides such as copper oxide (CuO and Cu 2 O), nickel oxides such as nickel oxide (NiO) and iron oxides such as iron oxide (FeO, Fe 2 O 3 , and Fe 3 O 4 ). Oxides, manganese oxides such as manganese oxides (MnO, MnO 2 , Mn 2 O 3 , Mn 3 O 4 ), and cobalt oxides such as cobalt oxides (CaO, Co 3 O 4 ). In the present invention, it is preferable to use nickel oxide (NiO) as the active material.

In the present invention, the content of the active substance is not particularly limited, and may be included in an amount of 50 parts by weight to 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the oxygen donor particle raw material composition, and preferably may be included in an amount of 60 parts by weight to 75 parts by weight. have. If the content is less than 50 parts by weight, the oxygen transport capacity is reduced, the interaction strength with the support increases, there is a fear that the reactive capacity is lowered. If the content is more than 80 parts by weight, physical properties such as porosity decreases, particles There is a fear of sintering between the active materials and cohesion between indenters.

The support included in the oxygen donor particle composition of the present invention may support the active material to be evenly distributed throughout the particle, and provide oxygen donor particles with sufficient strength required in the fluidized bed process after firing. That is, the support may simultaneously serve as a binder that gives strength to the oxygen donor particles while binding to each other during the function of supporting the active material and firing. In addition, it may serve to suppress the phenomenon that the metals aggregate with each other during the redox cycle at a high temperature.

In the present invention, the support may be one or more selected from the group consisting of gamma alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3 ), hydrotalcite and magnesia (MgO), preferably gamma alumina, hydrotalcite , A mixture of gamma alumina and magnesia (MgO) or a mixture of gamma alumina and hydrotalcite may be used.

The gamma alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) makes it possible to obtain oxygen donor particles of high strength. In the present invention, the content of gamma alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3 ) is not particularly limited and may be included in an amount of 0 to 48 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the oxygen donor particle raw material composition.

In addition, the magnesia (MgO), hydrotalcite (Mg-Al layered double hydroxide) serves to reduce the aggregation phenomenon that may appear during high temperature operation by leaving the Mg component in the final oxygen donor particles after firing.

In the present invention, the content of the support is not particularly limited, and may be included in an amount of 15 to 50 parts by weight, and preferably 20 to 40 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the oxygen donor particle raw material composition. If the content is less than 15 parts by weight, the physical properties such as decrease in porosity is lowered, there is a fear that sintering and indentation between the active material in the particles may occur, when exceeding 50 parts by weight, oxygen transfer capacity is reduced, active There is a fear that the reactivity is reduced by increasing the interaction strength with the substance. Specifically, magnesia and hydrotalcite may be included in an amount of 2 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the oxygen donor particle raw material composition, and preferably 3 to 15 parts by weight. In addition, the hydrotalcite may be included in an amount of 5 to 48 parts by weight, and preferably in an amount of 15 to 48 parts by weight.

The binder included in the oxygen donor particle composition of the present invention serves to make the oxygen donor particles have the strength required for the fluidized bed process even at a low firing temperature. That is, the binder serves to increase the strength of the oxygen donor particles to lower the firing temperature to obtain the strength required in the fluidized bed process, and to improve the wear resistance.

In the present invention, as a binder, a mixture of calcium oxide, barium oxide and boron oxide may be used. In the present invention, the mixture of calcium oxide, barium oxide and boron oxide may be referred to as CB. As the CBI, a commonly used product may be used.

The content of the binder in the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be included in an amount of 1 to 10 parts by weight, and preferably 2 to 8 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the oxygen donor particle raw material composition.

The present invention also relates to a slurry composition comprising the solid raw material and the solvent using the oxygen donor particle raw material composition, that is, the raw material composition including the active material, the support and the binder as a solid raw material.

In the present invention, the kind of the solvent is not particularly limited, and a solvent generally used in the art may be used. Specifically, water may be used as the solvent.

In addition, in the present invention, the solid raw material may be included in an amount of 15 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 30 to 40 parts by weight, based on the slurry composition. If the content of the solid raw material is less than 15 parts by weight, the amount of the slurry for the production of oxygen donor particles may increase and ultimately reduce the production efficiency. If the content of the solids exceeds 50 parts by weight, the viscosity of the slurry according to the concentration of the slurry is increased. There is a fear that the fluidity decreases due to the increase, making it difficult to carry out spray drying.

The slurry composition according to the present invention further comprises at least one organic additive selected from the group consisting of dispersants, antifoaming agents and organic binders for controlling homogenization of solid raw materials, concentration, viscosity, stability, flowability and strength and density of slurry. It may include.

In the present invention, it is preferable to use both the dispersant, the antifoaming agent and the organic binder.

In the present invention, a dispersant is used to prevent agglomeration between particles in the grinding process, which will be described below. That is, in the grinding process for controlling the particle size of the solid raw material constituting the oxygen donor particles, the dispersant may be used to prevent the reduction of the grinding efficiency due to the agglomeration of the pulverized fine powder particles.

As the type of dispersant in the present invention, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and nonionic surfactants can be used, preferably anionic. Surfactants and nonionic surfactants can be used. As the anionic surfactant, poly carboxylate ammonium salts or poly carboxylate amine salts may be used.

The dispersant may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 1 part by weight based on the solid raw material. In this range, the dispersion effect of the particles is excellent.

In the present invention, a defoamer may be used to remove bubbles in the slurry to which the dispersant and the organic binder are applied. As the kind of the antifoaming agent, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of silicon, metal soap, amide, polyether and alcohol can be used.

The antifoaming agent may be used in 0.001 to 0.5 parts by weight based on the solid material. If the amount of the antifoaming agent is too small, there is a fear that bubbles are generated during the slurry manufacturing process to obtain a spherical shape during spray drying, and if the amount of the antifoaming agent is too large, harmful gas may occur during the firing process. The amount of the antifoaming agent can be adjusted according to the amount of bubbles generated.

In the present invention, the organic binder imparts plasticity and fluidity to the slurry and ultimately gives strength to the molded solid particles upon spray drying, thereby facilitating handling of the particles before drying and firing. As the type of the organic binder in the present invention, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and methyl cellulose may be used.

In the present invention, the content of the organic binder is not particularly limited. For example, 0.5 to 5 parts by weight may be used based on the solid raw material. If the content is less than 0.5 parts by weight, it may be difficult to maintain the spherical shape before drying and firing due to a decrease in the bonding strength of the spray-dried solid particles, if the content exceeds 5 parts by weight of the final material There is a risk of deterioration in performance.

In the present invention, the solvent may be used without limitation the above-described type, specifically, water may be used.

In addition, the content of the solid raw material in the present invention may be included in an amount of 15 to 50 parts by weight based on the slurry composition.

Step (B) according to the invention, ie preparing a homogenized slurry, comprises adding to the slurry at least one organic additive selected from the group consisting of a dispersant, an antifoaming agent and an organic binder; And

Stirring and grinding the slurry may be further included.

In the step of adding the organic additive to the mixture of the present invention, as the organic additive, one or more selected from the group consisting of a dispersant, an antifoaming agent and an organic binder may be used, and preferably all of the above are used. The dispersant, the antifoaming agent and the organic binder may be used without limitation the above-described kind, the content thereof is as described above.

In the present invention, a wet milling method may be used to improve the grinding effect and to solve problems such as blowing of particles generated during dry grinding.

The pulverized slurry can be characterized by using a dispersant, antifoaming agent or additional solvent to adjust characteristics such as concentration and viscosity.

On the other hand, if the particle size of the solid raw material particles are several microns or less, the grinding process may be omitted.

In the present invention, a step of removing foreign matter in the stirred and pulverized slurry may be further performed. Through the above step, it is possible to remove the foreign matter or agglomerated raw materials that may cause the nozzle clogging during spray molding. Removal of the foreign matter may be carried out through sieving.

There is no particular limitation on the flowability of the final slurry produced by the present invention, and any viscosity is possible if it can be transferred to a pump.

Step (C) of the present invention is a step of spray drying the slurry to form the solid particles, the molding of the slurry can be carried out using a spray dryer.

In the step, the slurry may be transferred to a spray dryer using a pump, and then the transferred slurry composition may be sprayed into a spray dryer through a pump to form solid particles.

In the present invention, step (D) is a step of preparing the oxygen donor particles by dry firing the solid particles prepared in step (C).

In step (D), the molded solid particles may be dried and then fired to prepare oxygen donor particles.

Drying in the present invention may be carried out by drying the molded solid particles in a reflux dryer of 110 to 150 ℃ for 2 to 24 hours. By carrying out the drying at the temperature and time, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the water in the particles during the sintering to cause cracks in the particles. At this time, drying is performed in an air atmosphere.

When the drying is completed, the dried particles are placed in a high temperature baking furnace to raise the final firing temperature to 1000 to 1200 ℃ at a rate of 1 to 5 ℃ / min, and then baked for 3 to 10 hours. If the firing time is less than 3 hours, the interaction between the raw materials in the particles may not be sufficient, and the strength of the particles may be weakened. If the firing time exceeds 10 hours, the firing cost may increase. In the present invention, after the stagnation section of each 30 minutes or more at a stagnation temperature of two or more steps up to the final firing temperature may be fired.

In the present invention, firing may use a firing furnace such as a muffle furnace, a tubular furnace, or a kiln.

In addition, the present invention is an active substance; A support; And

The shape of the oxygen donor particles according to the present invention may be spherical. If the shape is not spherical, but donut-shaped or grooved, the wear loss of the particles is increased.

The average particle size and particle distribution of the oxygen donor particles may be, for example, 50 to 150 μm and 30 to 400 μm, respectively.

The packing density of the oxygen donor particles of the present invention may be, for example, 1.0 to 3.0 g / cc.

In the present invention, the wear resistance is represented by the wear index (AI), the lower the wear index means that the wear resistance is better. The wear resistance is a value measured by a wear tester according to ASTM D5757-95 for 5 hours at a flow rate of 10.00 l / min (273.15K, 1 bar basis). In the present invention, the wear resistance of the oxygen donor particles may be 15% or less. When the wear resistance exceeds 15%, a lot of fine powder is generated, and thus it is difficult to use the circulating fluidized bed process.

Experimental Example

(1) Measurement of shape of oxygen donor particles

The shape of the oxygen donor particles was measured using an industrial microscope.

(2) measurement of average particle size and particle size distribution

Average particle size and particle size distribution of the oxygen donor particles were measured using a standard sieve according to ASTM E-11.

 (3) filling density measurement

The packing density of the oxygen donor particles was measured using a packing density meter (Quantachrome Autotap) according to ASTM D 4164-88.

(4) Wear resistance (AI) measurement

The wear resistance of the oxygen donor particles was measured by a wear tester in accordance with ASTM D 5757-95. The wear index (AI) was determined at 10 slpm (standard volume per minute) over 5 hours as described in the ASTM method above, and the wear index is expressed as the percentage of fines generated over 5 hours.

Materials with less than 30% AI in high speed fluidized bed reactors and even less than 60% in bubbling fluidized bed reactors are fully usable at atmospheric pressure and can also be used in fluidized bed media circulation and media circulation reforming processes. The lower the wear index (AI), the better the wear resistance of the bulk particles.

(5) Oxygen Transport Capacity Measurement

Oxygen transfer capacity of oxygen donor particles was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The composition of the reaction gas used for the reduction reaction of the oxygen donor particles was 10 vol% CH 4 , 90 vol% CO 2 . In addition, air was used as a reaction gas for oxidizing the reduced oxygen donor particles. 100% nitrogen was supplied between the oxidation and reduction reactions to prevent direct fuel and air contact in the reactor. The sample amount of oxygen donor particles used in the experiment was about 30 mg. The flow rate of each reaction gas was 300 ml / min (0 ° C, 1 bar basis), and the oxygen transfer capacity was measured by repeating the oxidation / reduction reaction of the oxygen donor particles at least five times, where the oxygen transfer capacity was determined in the raw material. The weight obtained by subtracting the weight of oxygen donor particles measured at the end of the reduction reaction of oxygen donor particles under the experimental conditions at the theoretical maximum oxygen donor particle weight when the oxygen donor particles are completely oxidized based on the weight of the metal oxide contained. The change is expressed as a percentage by weight divided by the theoretical maximum oxygen donor particle weight when the oxygen donor particle is completely oxidized.

The results measured by measuring the physical properties and oxygen transfer capacity of the Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 are shown in Table 3 below.

Figure 5 shows an industrial micrograph of the oxygen donor particles according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, A represents Example 1, B represents Example 2, C represents Example 3, D represents Example 4, and E represents Example 5 oxygen donor particles. As shown in the figure, the oxygen donor particles produced by the embodiment has a spherical shape.

As shown in Table 3, nickel oxide (NiO) is used as an active material, and a mixture of gamma alumina, hydrotalcite, gamma alumina and magnesia, or a mixture of gamma alumina and hydrotalcite is used as a support material. It can be seen that the oxygen donor particles (oxygen donor particles according to the embodiment) using zero CBB have sufficient strength and physical properties suitable for the fluidized bed process even at a firing temperature of 1200 ° C. or less. That is, the shape of the oxygen donor particles is spherical, the average particle size is 95 to 110 ㎛, the particle size distribution is 37.0 to 302.5 ㎛, the filling density is 1.9 to 2.5 g / ml, the wear index is less than 12% and the oxygen transfer capacity is 13.1 wt% or more. In particular, the addition of CBB can be seen that the strength is much increased even at a lower firing temperature than the comparative example.

Oxygen donor particles of Comparative Example 1 using gamma alumina as a support material had a wear index value of 15.5% at a firing temperature of 1100 ° C., whereas oxygen donor particles of Example 1 having 5 parts by weight of CBB added had a wear index at the same firing temperature. The value was 1.2%, which was much better than the strength, and the oxygen transfer capacity was 13.7 wt%, slightly higher than the 13.2 wt% of Comparative Example 1.

Oxygen donor particles of Comparative Example 2 using a mixture of gamma alumina and magnesia as the support material showed the strength applicable to the fluidized bed process with a wear index value of 14.7% at a firing temperature of 1300 ° C. The donor particles showed much better strength at the firing temperatures of 1200 ° C. and 1100 ° C. despite the lower firing temperatures of 2.5% and 4.8%, respectively. Oxygen donor particles of Examples 2 and 3 were 13.3 wt% and 13.1 wt%, respectively, higher than 11.2 wt% of Comparative Example 2.

Oxygen donor particles of Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 using hydrotalcite as the support material showed the strengths applicable to the fluidized bed process with wear index values of 26.4% and 13.1% at firing temperatures of 1300 ° C and 1200 ° C, respectively. Oxygen donor particles of Examples 4 and 5, each of which added 5 parts by weight of CBB to the same support material, had a wear index value of 1.1% and 0.5%, respectively, at a firing temperature of 1200 ° C., even at the same litigation or lower firing temperature. Excellent strength was shown. Oxygen donor particles of Examples 4 and 5 were 13.7 wt% and 13.8 wt%, respectively, higher than 12.9 wt% and 13.2 wt% of Comparative Examples 3 and 4.

In Comparative Examples 5 to 8 using structurally very stable alpha alumina, a mixture of alpha alumina and magnesia, or magnesium aluminate as a support material, the samples were fired at 1400 ° C., but showed strengths that can be used in a fluidized bed process. Lower intensity was shown.

As described above, when CBB is added as a binder in preparation of oxygen donor particles using nickel oxide as an active material, much higher strength can be obtained even at a lower firing temperature than before.
