Description

Hydrocarbon fuel reactor for separating and purifying carbon dioxide

The invention relates to a hydrocarbon fuel reactor for separating and purifying carbon dioxide, in particular to a multi-stage reduction reaction of an iron-based oxygen carrier by using a fluidized bed of a general formula in a chemical loop combustion process, in particular Refers to the three-stage reduction reaction which can accurately and completely control the iron-based oxygen carrier, and the three-stage reduction reaction is separately carried out, and the oxygen in the iron-based oxygen carrier can be completely released, thereby obtaining high-purity carbon dioxide, and It can also be expanded to produce hydrogen, which has the advantages of fast yield, high operating efficiency and low cost.

According to statistics, China currently uses a large amount of fossil fuels for thermal power generation, which also makes China's carbon dioxide emissions in energy use remain high; on the other hand, China's renewable energy development is slow, and it has not yet been able to replace fossil fuels. Therefore, in the face of the environmental problems caused by carbon dioxide in the global warming, Carbon Capture, Storage and Use (CCSU) has become one of the most important methods known to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

According to the fuel-converted thermoelectric method, today's carbon dioxide capture technology can be mainly divided into three types: Post-combustion Capture, Pre-combustion Capture, and Oxy-fuel Combustion; The newly developed Chemical-Looping Combustion Process can be attributed to alternative oxy-combustion applications. The chemical loop combustion program technology uses oxygen carriers as a medium to transfer oxygen in the air as a metal oxide to the fuel reactor, allowing the fuel to burn with oxygen in the metal oxide and producing high purity carbon dioxide. Therefore, the chemical loop combustion program technology has low exhaust pollution and can have high power generation efficiency under carbon dioxide capture conditions, and has been recognized as a carbon dioxide capture technology with great development potential.

At present, the more important oxygen carriers are nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) series of metal oxides. The structure of the iron-based oxygen carrier is mainly composed of ferric oxide (Fe ₂ O ₃ ), and the combustion reactor contains a three-stage reduction reaction:

Fe ₂ O ₃ →Fe ₃ O ₄ ;

Fe ₃ O ₄ →FeO;

FeO→Fe.

At present, the most common chemical loop reactors include Fluidized-Bed Reactor (FBR) and Moving-Bed Reactor (MBR).

In addition to inefficiency, the oxygen in the oxygen carrier is not completely released during the reaction, thereby reducing the throughput (Throughput). In addition, the newly developed Interconnected Fluidized Bed (IFB), which is currently not officially used in chemical circuit research.
