Definitions
- the invention relates to a water gas shift (WGS) process.
- WGS water gas shift
- the invention further relates to the use of an alkali promoted alumina based material (as adsorbent) for the removal of (multiple) acid gas components from a gas mixture.
- adsorbents to remove SO 2 from certain gas streams.
- US5358701 describes a process for removing noxious sulphur oxides, nitrous oxides, and chlorine from gas streams, particularly from flue gases of coal- burning power plants, using layered double hydroxide (LDH) sorbents.
- LDH layered double hydroxide
- the sorbents are particularly useful for SO 2 absorption at temperatures in the range of 100 0 C to less than 400 0 C.
- the SO 2 gas absorbs into the hydrotalcite structure as SO3 2" anions by replacing most of the gallery CO3 2" anions.
- the adsorbed SO 2 is driven-off by calcination at elevated temperatures (500 0 C) and the LDH sorbents are regenerated by hydro lyzing the calcined product optionally in the presence of CO 2 or CO3 2" .
- WO2005102916 describes apparatus and methods for converting hydrocarbon fuels to hydrogen-rich reformate that incorporate a carbon dioxide fixing mechanism into the initial hydrocarbon conversion process.
- the mechanism utilizes a carbon dioxide fixing material within the reforming catalyst bed to remove carbon dioxide from the reformate product.
- the removal of carbon dioxide from the product stream shifts the reforming reaction equilibrium toward higher hydrocarbon conversion with only small amounts of carbon oxides produced.
- Fixed carbon dioxide may be released by heating the catalyst bed to a calcination temperature.
- a non-uniform distribution of catalysts and carbon dioxide fixing material across catalyst bed yields higher conversion rates of hydrocarbon to hydrogen-rich reformate.
- US2004081614 describes a process for producing a high temperature CO x -lean product gas from a high temperature CO x -containing feed gas, which includes providing a sorption enhanced reactor containing a first adsorbent, a shift catalyst and a second adsorbent; feeding into the reactor a feed gas containing H 2 , H 2 O, CO and CO 2 ; contacting the feed gas with the first adsorbent to provide a CO 2 depleted feed gas; contacting the CO 2 depleted feed gas with the shift catalyst to form a product mixture comprising CO 2 and H 2 ; and contacting the product mixture with a mixture of second adsorbent and shift catalyst to produce the product gas, which contains at least 50 vol.
- the adsorbent is a high temperature adsorbent for a Sorption Enhanced Reaction process, such as K3CO3 promoted hydrotalcites, modified layered double hydroxides, spinels, modified spinels, and magnesium oxides.
- US6322612 describes a pressure or vacuum swing adsorption process and apparatus used for the separation and recovery of certain gaseous components, such as carbon dioxide from hot gas mixtures containing water vapour.
- the process comprises introducing the feed gas mixture at an elevated temperature into a feed end of an adsorber column containing an adsorbent.
- the adsorbent preferentially adsorbs at least one adsorbable component.
- An adsorber effluent, depleted of the at least one adsorbable component is withdrawn from a product end of the adsorber column.
- the adsorber column is depressurized below atmospheric pressure and then purged with steam to withdraw an effluent comprising a mixture of the at least one adsorbable component and H 2 O.
- the adsorber column is pressurized by introducing a gas that is depleted of the at least one adsorbable component.
- the steps are repeated in a cyclic manner. Further, Descamps et al (Energy 33 (2008) 874-881)) and Maurstad (8 th
- a disadvantage of prior art processes may be that for performing the WGS process from a gas that (also) comprises H 2 S, H 2 S has to be removed from the WGS inlet gas (or starting mixture) and/or from the WGS outlet gas (or product gas), which may require a plurality of reactors.
- a disadvantage of prior art processes may be that conventional WGS catalysts are necessary, in addition to optional CO 2 adsorbents, which may also require a plurality of reactors and/or a plurality of (mixed) beds.
- the invention provides a water gas shift process comprising a reaction stage comprising (a) providing a gas mixture comprising CO, H 2 O and an acid gas component to a reactor containing an adsorbent, wherein the adsorbent comprises an alkali promoted alumina based material, and (b) subjecting the gas mixture to water gas shift reaction (WGSR) conditions to perform the water gas shift reaction, wherein the acid gas component may comprise H 2 S, and wherein the gas mixture may comprise a H 2 S reactor inlet concentration of at least about 200 ppm H 2 S relative to the gas mixture, more especially at least about 500 ppm. Characteristic ranges will be about 200-20.000 ppm, such as 500-20.000 ppm H 2 S.
- the adsorbent may be suitable for the abatement (capture) of CO 2 and H 2 S in the gas, while on the other hand, the adsorbent may also have suitable water gas shift (WGS) activity.
- WGS water gas shift
- the adsorbent may be used as coadsorber of two or more acid gas components and/or for the catalysis of the WGS reaction.
- An advantage of the process of the invention may be that this process may be applied in one single reactor and optionally even with one single bed.
- the reaction stage is performed in a single reactor and especially in a single bed.
- the adsorbent may easily be regenerated, i.e. the adsorption of CO 2 and H 2 S is reversible. Via (partial) pressure swing and/or temperature swing, the adsorbent may be regenerated.
- the process further comprises an adsorbent regeneration stage, wherein CO 2 and optionally the acid gas component are at least partially removed from the adsorbent. Therefore, the invention also provides a cyclic process comprising a plurality of alternating reaction stages and regeneration stages.
- advantages of the invention may be that no specific catalyst may be needed but only a sorbent, and nevertheless WGS is performed, and/or the co-capture of CO 2 with H 2 S and optionally other acid gases may be possible. Thereby, potentially costs related with traditional gas cleaning sections may be avoided.
- the term "adsorbent” may also indicate a combination of adsorbents.
- the adsorbent (comprising an alkali promoted alumina based material) comprises one or more alkali-promoted aluminas, wherein alkali is an element selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb.
- the akali content is > 5 wt.% calculated as carbonate, preferably 5-30 wt.% calculated as carbonate, relative to the total amount of the alkali promoted alumina.
- the adsorbent comprises one or more promoted alkali-promoted aluminas, wherein alkali is an element selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb ("first promoter").
- alkali is an element selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb ("first promoter").
- the alkali-promoted alumina may be further promoted, and is then indicated as "promoted alkali-promoted alumina".
- the alkali-promoted alumina may be further promoted with one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Ti,
- the alumina may be promoted first with the first promoter and thereafter with the second promoter, but in another embodiment, the alumina may also be promoted first with the second promoter and thereafter with the first promoter; in yet another embodiment, the alumina is promoted with the first and second promoter substantially at the same time.
- the promoter (second promoter) content is about 5 wt.% or more calculated as oxide, preferable about 5-50 wt.% calculated as oxide, relative to the total weight of the promoted alkali-promoted aluminas.
- Mg, Mn or Fe are used as promoter (i.e. second promoter).
- the adsorbent comprises one or more alkali- promoted hydrotalcites, wherein alkali is an element selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb.
- the hydrotalcite (herein also indicated as "HTC") may have the chemical formula: [M ⁇ (1 . x )Al ( ⁇ x )M ⁇ i ((1 . ⁇ ) X ) (OH)2][C n l( X /n).yH 2 O.zM I ( m )A m - wherein
- M 1 is one or more selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs
- M ⁇ is one or more selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Cu, Co, Fe, Cd and Cr
- Al is aluminium
- M i ⁇ is optionally one or more of the group consisting of Fe, Cr and Mn; C n ⁇ is one or more anions selected from the group consisting of N(V, SO 4 2" ,
- a m" is one or more anions, such as selected from CO 3 2" , CH 3 CO 2” , C 2 O 4 2” , NO 3 “ , SO 4 2” , CO 3 2” , CH 3 CO 2 “ , OH “ , Cl “ , Br “ , F “ and I “ etc...
- the alkali promoter is an element selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb.
- the akali promoter content is >5 wt.% calculated as carbonate, preferably 5-30 wt.% calculated as carbonate, relative to the total amount of the alkali promoted hydrotalcite.
- the value of z is preferably at least about 0.033 and in another embodiment preferably not more than about 0.17.
- the adsorbent may comprise an alkali promoted hydrotalcite, such as potassium promoted hydrotalcite. Hydrotalcite may for instance be promoted with K 2 CO 3 . In such embodiment, K 2 CO 3 is applied as source of promoter material to promote the hydrotalcite.
- the molar ratio M ⁇ :(Al+M i ⁇ ) is in the range of about 0:1 - 1 :0, preferable 30:70 -70:30.
- the actual oxidation state of some of the M ⁇ and M i ⁇ ions can be changed during operation, e.g. Fe 11 and Fe 111 exist.
- the elements with a 3+ oxidation state can be a mixture of Al 3+ and M i ⁇ , such as Fe 111 , Cr 111 , and Mn 111 .
- the molar ratio of A1 3+ :M 3+ is preferably 1 :1 - 1 :0 (i.e. 0.5 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1). It surprisingly appears that relatively low x values are especially advantageous.
- x is in the range of 0.33-0.55, preferably in the range of 0.4-0.5.
- the hydrotalcite material is low in magnesium.
- Especially preferred systems are Mgi_ x Al( x )(OH) 2 (CO 3 ) ⁇ / 2 .
- hydrotalcite is indicated as alumina based material, since, under the reaction conditions, hydrotalcite is at least partly converted to a mixed-metal oxide comprising alumina (more precisely, promoted alumina).
- M 1 can be considered as first promoter and M ⁇ and M i ⁇ can be considered as second promoter.
- a promoted alumina based material may be used as adsorbent.
- the promoter(s) may be selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, Rb, Mg, Mn, Ti, Ag, Cu, Co, Pb, Fe and Cd. More than one type of promoter may be applied.
- the adsorbent comprises a promoted alkali promoted alumina based material, wherein the alumina based material is promoted with one or more first promotors selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb, and one or more second promotors selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Ti, Ag, Cu, Co, Pb, Fe and Cd. It appears that the second promoter advantageously (further) promotes CO 2 capture by the adsorbent.
- the adsorbent comprises the alkali promoted hydrotalcite, as defined above.
- thermotalcite materials over aluminas An advantage of hydrotalcite materials over aluminas is that it appears that the regeneration of the HTC materials seems easier. Hence, HTC materials may have a longer lifetime and/or be cheaper in maintenance costs and/or have a higher acid gas adsorption capacity in cost effective regenerative conditions. It further seems to appear that the promoted HTC adsorbentia, especially those low in magnesium content, may be used without an additional (conventional) WGS catalysts. Hence, the promoted hydrotalcite material alone may have the function of adsorbent and catalyst.
- alkali is an element selected from the group consisting of K, Na, Li, Cs, and Rb
- alkali- promoted aluminas etc. indicates that the alumina etc. may be promoted with one or more types of alkali elements.
- promoted with one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mg, Mn, Ti, Ag, Cu, Co, Pb, Fe and Cd indicates that the (promoted) alumina etc. may be promoted with one or more types of these elements.
- Mg, Fe and Mn are used as promoter (i.e. second promoter).
- Fe is used as promoter (i.e. second promoter).
- Mg, and Mn are used as promoter (i.e. second promoter), yet even more preferably, Mg.
- alkali-promoted alumina may also include a thermally treated alkali-promoted alumina, thermally treated promoted alkali-promoted alumina, and thermally treated alkali-promoted hydrotalcite, respectively.
- the thermal treatment may be performed before use as adsorbent or under the reaction conditions to perform the method of the invention (see also below). Promoting the materials may be performed by mixing or impregnation of a salt of the alkali (and/or other) element with the alumina based material and thermally treating the product thus obtained.
- Suitable salts are hydroxides, carbonates, nitrates, halides, oxalates etc., especially carbonates.
- the thermal treatment may in an embodiment be performed in the reactor for performing the method of the invention.
- the invention may allow the use of coal- derived syngas (synthesis gas) as feed to the WGS reactor, whereas in prior art (sweet shift) processes, coal derived syngas could not easily, or could not be used at all without further measures, as WGS reactor inlet gas.
- no substantial sulphur deactivation such as by H 2 S, may take place, and thus no pre-desulphurization step may be necessary (although such pre-desulphurization is not excluded in an embodiment).
- reactor inlet gas or “WGS reactor inlet gas” refer to the gas (and optionally its composition) that is provided to the reactor.
