摘要:

针对传统二氧化碳加氢制甲醇单程转化率低的问题,提出了一种新的工艺:共电解耦合CO2间接加氢制甲醇(Co-SOEC-CO2tM),该工艺由共电解制取合成气单元、精馏单元以及二氧化碳捕集单元组成。基于工艺全流程模拟数据,进行公用工程电气化改造,并采用元素利用率、能效、CO2排放、生产成本指标等对新工艺进行技术经济评价,并与传统甲醇合成工艺进行对比分析。结果表明:新工艺的能效最高可达61.76%,远高于其他传统工艺。新工艺的氢元素利用率为70.99%,碳元素利用率为80.84%,CO2排放可以低至0.197 t/t (MeOH),相比于其他合成甲醇工艺具有明显优势。然而,当前可再生能源电价为0.35 CNY/kWh,新工艺成本较高,随着可再生能源的大力发展,未来电价下降至0.1 CNY/kWh时,新工艺的成本最低可降至1785.16 CNY/t (MeOH),具备良好的经济可行性和优势。

Abstract:

Aiming to address the issue of low one-way conversion in traditional CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, a new process of indirect hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol by co-electrolysis coupling is proposed in this paper (Co-SOEC-CO2tM). The process comprises a CO2 capture unit, a co-electrolysis unit for syngas production, and a methanol synthesis and distillation unit. Based on the simulation data of the whole process, the utility engineering electrification transformation was carried out, and the technical and economic evaluation of the new process was carried out using element utilization, energy efficiency, CO2 emissions, production cost indicators, etc., and compared with the traditional methanol synthesis process. The results show that the energy efficiency of the new process is up to 61.76%, which is significantly higher than that of other traditional processes. The hydrogen utilization rate of the new process is 70.99%, the carbon utilization rate is 80.84%, and the CO2 emission can be as low as 0.197 t/t (MeOH), which is a significant advantage compared to other methanol synthesis processes. However, at the current renewable energy tariff of 0.35 CNY/kWh, the cost of the new process is high. With the vigorous development of renewable energy, when the tariff decreases to 0.1 CNY/kWh in the future, the cost of the new process can be reduced to as low as 1785.16 CNY/t (MeOH), making it economically feasible and advantageous.
