Abstract:

Thermodynamics analyses were carried out in biogas fueled chemical looping reforming (CLR) process for H2 generation, where the main component of cement Ca2Al2SiO7 was used as a support for NiO/Ca2Al2SiO7 oxygen carrier. Around 430 cases for CLR were studied via a home-built MATLAB? code, considering the effects of NiO loading yNiO, oxygen carrier circulation rate Fs, oxygen carrier conversion variation ΔXs, steam concentration xH2O and air reactor temperature TAR. The global enthalpy variation ΔH can be easily tuned to ΔH=0, i.e. CLRa state, by varying the (NiO+Ca2Al2SiO7)/biogas ratio. Under CLRa state, increase of TAR and ΔXs can lead to the decrease of H2 yield, while rising of Fs would result in the higher H2 yield. The simulation suggests that the optimized H2 yield of 1.57 (m3 H2)?(m3 biogas)-1 can be achieved with NiO loading lower than 10%(mass), TAR close to 1150 K, ΔXs lower than 0.25, Fs higher than 2 kg?s-1 and xH2O lower than 54.5%(vol). Heat balance of the global FR, AR and WGS reactors showed that the CLRa can be run under auto-thermal condition, meanwhile heat at exits of reactors can be recovered to be used in the preheating of gases entering reactors.

摘要:

以水泥的主要成分Ca2Al2SiO7为惰性载体,采用热分析动力学研究了NiO/Ca2Al2SiO7氧载体作用下沼气的化学链重整(chemical looping reforming, CLR)制氢性能。通过自编的MATLAB?代码计算得到430种工况下CLR模拟结果,充分考虑NiO负载率yNiO、氧载体循环流率Fs、氧载体转化率变化ΔXs、水蒸气浓度xH2O及空气反应器温度TAR的影响。调节氧载体循环流率,可实现对(xNiO+Ca2Al2SiO7)/biogas质量比的控制,进而调整系统总焓变化ΔH,实现自热化学链重整(CLRa),即ΔH=0。在CLRa状态下,TAR和ΔXs的升高均导致H2产率降低,而Fs增加则有助于提高H2产率。模拟结果表明,当NiO含量低于10%(质量)、TAR接近1150 K、ΔXs小于0.25、Fs大于2 kg?s-1xH2O小于54.5%(体积)时,H2产率可达最优值1.57(m3 H2)?(m3 biogas)-1。对系统的热量平衡分析显示,CLRa能够在自热状态下运行,且反应器出口处气流携带热量能够满足进口处气流的预热需求。
