Microscopic mechanism study and process optimization of dimethyl carbonate production coupled biomass chemical looping gasification system

Biomass chemical looping gasification technology is one of the essential ways to utilize abundant biomass resources.At the same time,dimethyl carbonate can replace phosgene as an environmentfriendly organic material for the synthesis of polycarbonate.In this paper,a novel system coupling biomass chemical looping gasification with dimethyl carbonate synthesis with methanol as an intermediate is designed through microscopic mechanism analysis and process optimization.Firstly,reactive force field molecular dynamics simulation is performed to explore the reaction mechanism of biomass chemical looping gasification to determine the optimal gasification temperature range.Secondly,steady-state simulations of the process based on molecular dynamics simulation results are carried out to investigate the effects of temperature,steam to biomass ratio,and oxygen carrier to biomass ratio on the syngas yield and compositions.In addition,the main energy indicators of biomass chemical looping gasification process including lower heating value and cold gas efficiency are analyzed based on the above optimum parameters.Then,two synthesis stages are simulated and optimized with the following results obtained:the optimal temperature and pressure of methanol synthesis stage are 150℃ and 4 MPa;the optimal temperature and pressure of dimethyl carbonate synthesis stage are 140℃ and 0.3 MPa.Finally,the pre-separation-extraction-decantation process separates the mixture of dimethyl carbonate and methanol generated in the synthesis stage with 99.11%purity of dimethyl carbonate.Above results verify the feasibility of producing dimethyl carbonate from the perspective of multi-scale simulation and realize the multi-level utilization of biomass resources.

Chemical looping gasification of sewage sludge using copper slag modified by NiO as an oxygen carrier

Chemical looping gasification(CLG) provides a novel approach to dispose the sewage sludge.In order to improve the reactivity of the calcined copper slag,NiO modification is considered as one of the good solutions.The copper slag calcined at 1100℃ doped with 20 wt% NiO(Ni20-CS) was used as an oxygen carrier(OC) in sludge CLG in the work.The modification of NiO can evidently enhance the reactivity of copper slag to promote the sludge conversion,especially for sludge char conversion.The carbon conversion and valid gas yield(V_(g)) increase from 67.02% and 0.23 m^(3)·kg^(-1) using the original OC to 78.34% and 0.29 m^(3)·kg^(-1) using the Ni20-CS OC, respectively.The increase of equivalent coefficient(Ω) facilitates the sludge conversion and a suitable Ω value is determined at 0.47 to obtain the highest valid gas yield(0.29 m^(3)·kg^(-1)).A suitable steam content is assigned at 27.22% to obtain the maximum carbon conversion of 87.09%,where an acceptable LHV of 12.63 MJ·m^(-3) and Vg of 0.39 m^(3)·kg^(-1)are obtained.Although the reactivity of Ni20-CS OC gradually decreases with the increase in cycle numbers because of the generation of NiFe_(2) O_(4-δ) species,the deposition of sludge ash containing many metallic elements is beneficial to the sludge conversion.As a result,the carbon conversion shows a slight uptrend with the increase of cycle numbers in sludge CLG.It indicates that the Ni20-CS sample is a good OC for sludge CLG.

Effect of Gasifying Medium on the Coal Chemical Looping Gasification with CaSO_4 as Oxygen Carrier

The chemical looping gasification uses an oxygen carrier for solid fuel gasification by supplying insufficient lattice oxygen. The effect of gasifying medium on the coal chemical looping gasification with Ca SO4 as oxygen carrier is investigated in this paper. The thermodynamical analysis indicates that the addition of steam and CO2 into the system can reduce the reaction temperature, at which the concentration of syngas reaches its maximum value.Experimental result in thermogravimetric analyzer and a fixed-bed reactor shows that the mixture sample goes through three stages, drying stage, pyrolysis stage and chemical looping gasification stage, with the temperature for three different gaseous media. The peak fitting and isoconversional methods are used to determine the reaction mechanism of the complex reactions in the chemical looping gasification process. It demonstrates that the gasifying medium(steam or CO2) boosts the chemical looping process by reducing the activation energy in the overall reaction and gasification reactions of coal char. However, the mechanism using steam as the gasifying medium differs from that using CO2. With steam as the gasifying medium, parallel reactions occur in the beginning stage, followed by a limiting stage shifting from a kinetic to a diffusion regime. It is opposite to the reaction mechanism with CO2 as the gasifying medium.

Chemical looping catalytic gasification of biomass over active LaNixFe1-xO_(3)perovskites as functional oxygen carriers

Oxygen carriers(OCs)with perovskite structure are attracting increasing interests due to their redox tunability by introducing various dopants in the structure.In this study,LaNixFe1-xO3(x=0,0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,1.0)perovskite OCs have been prepared by a citric acid–nitrate sol–gel method,characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis and tested for algae chemical looping gasification in a fixed bed reactor.The effects of perovskite types,OC/biomass mass ratio(O/B),gasification temperature and water injection rate on the gasification performance were investigated.Lower Ni-doped(0≤x≤0.5)perovskites crystalized in the rhombohedra system which was isostructural with LaNiO3,while those with composition 0.5≤x≤1 crystalized in the orthorhombic system.Despite the high reactivity for LaNiO_(3),LaNi_(0.5)Fe_(0.5)O_(3)(LN5F5)was found to be more stable at a high temperature and give almost as good results as LaNiO_(3)in the formation of syngas.The relatively higher syngas yield of 0.833 m^(3)·kg^(-1) biomass was obtained under the O/B of 0.4,water injection rate of 0.3 ml·min^(-1) and gasification temperature at 850C.Continuous high yield of syngas was achieved during the first 5 redox cycles,while a slight decrease in the reactivity for LN5F5 after 5 cycles was observed due to the adhesion of small grains occurring on the surface of OCs.However,an obvious improvement in the gasification performance was attained for LN5F5 compared to raw biomass direct gasification,indicating that LN5F5 is a promising functional OC for chemical looping catalytic gasification of biomass.

Experimental and numerical simulation of lignite chemical looping gasification with phosphogypsum as oxygen carrier in a fluidized bed

Phosphogypsum(PG)is a solid waste produced in the wet process of producing phosphoric acid.Lignite is a kind of promising chemical raw material.However,the high sulfur of lignite limits the utilization of lignite as a resource.Based on fluidized bed experiments,the optimal reaction conditions for the production syngas by lignite chemical looping gasification(CLG)with PG as oxygen carrier were studied.The study found that the optimal reaction temperature should not exceed 1123 K;the mole ratio of water vapor to lignite should be about 0.2;the mole ratio of PG oxygen carrier to lignite should be about 0.6.Meanwhile,commercial software Comsol was used to establish a fuel reaction kinetics model.Through computational fluid dynamics(CFD)numerical simulation,the process of reaction in fluidized bed were well captured.The model was based on a two-fluid model and coupled mass transfer,heat transfer and chemical reactions.This study showed that the fluidized bed presents a flow structure in which gas and solid coexist.There was a high temperature zone in the middle and lower parts of the fluidized bed.It could be seen from the results of the flow field simulated that the fluidized bed was beneficial to the progress of the gasification reaction.

Chemical looping gasification of maceral from low-rank coal: Products distribution and kinetic analysis on vitrinite

The product distribution and kinetic analysis of low-rank coal vitrinite were investigated during the chemical looping gasification(CLG)process.The acid washing method was used to treat low-rank coal,and the density gradient centrifugation method was adopted to obtain the coal macerals.By combining thermogravimetric analysis and online mass spectrometry,the influence of the heating rate and oxygen carrier(Fe2O3)blending ratio on product distribution was discussed.The macroscopic kinetic parameters were solved by the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose(KAS)method,and the main gaseous product formation kinetic parameters were solved by the iso-conversion method.The results of vitrinite during slow heating chemical looping gasification showed that the main weight loss interval was 400–600℃,and the solid yield of sample vitrinite-Fe-10 at different heating rates was 64.30%–69.67%.When b=20℃·min^(-1),the maximum decomposition rate of vitrinite-Fe-10 was 0.312%min1.The addition of Fe2O_(3)reduced the maximum decomposition rate,but by comparing the chemical looping conversion characteristic index,it could be inferred that the chemical looping gasification of vitrinite might produce volatile substances higher than the pyrolysis process of vitrinite alone.The average activation energy of the reaction was significantly reduced during chemical looping gasification of vitrinite,which was lower than the average activation energy of 448.69 kJ·mol^(-1) during the pyrolysis process of vitrinite alone.The gaseous products were mainly CO and CO_(2).When the heating rate was 10℃·min^(-1),the highest activation energy for CH4 formation was 21.353 kJ·mol^(-1),and the lowest activation energy for CO formation was 9.7333 kJ·mol^(-1).This study provides basic data for exploring coal chemical looping gasification mechanism and reactor design by studying the chemical looping gasification process of coal macerals。

Ca-and Mg-rich waste as high active carrier for chemical looping gasification of biomass

Chemical looping gasification(CLG)is a promising technology for high-quality syngas production.One key issue to successful CLG is the selection of high-performance oxygen carrier.In this study,several Ca-and Mg-rich steelmaking wastes from steel industry,such as blast furnace slag(BF slag),blast furnace dust(BF dust)and Linz-Donawitz converter slag(LD slag),were used as oxygen carriers in chemical looping gasification of biomass.The results showed that the reducibility of Ca-and Mg-rich waste,especially LD slag and BF dust,was superior to that of hematite.Considering long-term operation,the cyclic stability of steelmaking waste was tested.BF dust showed a poor stability,while the other carrier(hematite,BF slag or LD slag)presented an excellent stability during multiple redox cycles in spite of partial sintering and agglomeration.Moreover,the effects of supply oxygen coefficient(O/B ratio)and reaction temperature on CLG of biomass were investigated.The results revealed that Ca-and Mg-rich waste exhibited a higher syngas production compared to hematite.The higher performance could be attributed to the improved reduction rate of Fe2O3 and gasification rate of biomass by Ca or Mg in steelmaking waste.In addition,LD slag exhibited the higher gas value at the O/B ratio of 1 at 900℃.As a consequence,LD slag was an appropriate oxygen carrier for CLG of biomass in terms of perfect reducibility,superior cyclic stability and high reactivity.

Chemical-looping gasification of biomass in a 10 kW_(th) interconnected fluidized bed reactor using Fe_2O_3/Al_2O_3 oxygen carrier

Abstract:The aim of this research is to design and operate a 10 kW hot chemical-looping gasification(CLG)unit using Fe2O3/Al2O3as an oxygen carrier and saw dust as a fuel.The effect of the operation temperature on gas composition in the air reactor and the fuel reactor,and the carbon conversion of biomass to CO2and CO in the fuel reactor have been experimentally studied.A total60 h run has been obtained with the same batch of oxygen carrier of iron oxide supported with alumina.The results show that CO and H2concentrations are increased with increasing temperature in the fuel reactor.It is also found that with increasing fuel reactor temperature,both the amount of residual char in the fuel reactor and CO2concentration of the exit gas from the air reactor are degreased.Carbon conversion rate and gasification efficiency are increased by increasing temperature and H2production at 870℃reaches the highest rate.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and BET-surface area tests have been used to characterize fresh and reacted oxygen carrier particles.The results display that the oxygen carrier activity is not declined and the specific surface area of the oxygen carrier particles is not decreased significantly.

Thermodynamic Analysis and Synthesis Gas Generation by Chemical-Looping Gasification of Biomass with Nature Hematite as Oxygen Carriers

Thermodynamic parameters of chemical reactions in the system were carried out through thermodynamic analysis. According to the Gibbs free energy minimization principle of the system, equilibrium composition of the reactions of chemical-looping gasification (CLG) of biomass with natural hematite (Fe2O3) as oxygen carrier were analyzed using commercial software of HSC Chemistry 5.1. The feasibility of the CLG of biomass with hematite was experimental verified in a lab-scale bubbling fluidized bed reactor using argon as fluidizing gas. It was indicated the experimental results were consistent with the theoretical analysis. The presence of oxygen carrier gave a significant effect on the biomass conversion and improved the synthesis gas yield obviously. It was observed that the gas content of CO and H2 was over 70% in CLG of biomass. The reduced hematite particles mainly existed in form of FeO. It was showed that the reduction of natural hematite with biomass proceeds in a stepwise manner from Fe2O3 →Fe3O4→ FeO. Reduction product of natural hematite can be restored the lattice oxygen by oxidation with air.

Study on the mechanism and reaction characteristics of metal-supported phosphogypsum as oxygen carrier in a chemical looping gasification application

This study aimed to explore the chemical looping gasification(CLG)reaction characteristics of the metal-supported composite phosphogypsum(PG)oxygen carriers(OCs)and the thermodynamic mechanism.The FactSage 7.1 thermodynamic simulation was used to explore the oxygen release and H_(2)S removal mechanisms.The experimental results showed that the syngas yield of CLG with PG-CuFe_(2)O_(4)was more than that with PG-Fe_(2)O_(3)20/CuO40 or PG-Fe_(2)O_(3)30/CuO30 OC at 1023 K when the water vapor content was 0.3.Furthermore,the maximum syngas yield of the CO selectivity was 70.3% and of the CO_(2)selectivity was 23.8%.The H_(2)/CO value was 0.78,and the highest carbon conversion efficiency was 91.9% in PG-CuFe_(2)O_(4)at the gasification temperature of 1073 K.The metal-supported PG composite oxygen carrier was proved not only as an oxygen carrier to participate in the preparation of syngas but also as a catalyst to catalyze coal gasification reactions.Furthermore,both the experimental results and FactSage 7.1 thermodynamic analysis revealed that the trapping mechanism of H_(2)S by composite OCs was as follows:CuO first lost lattice oxygen as an oxygen carrier to generate Cu_(2)O,which,in turn,reacted with H_(2)S to generate Cu_(2)S.This study provided efficient guidance and reference for OC design in CLG.

Biomass chemical looping gasification for syngas production using modified hematite as oxygen carriers

Syngas is a clean energy carrier and a major industrial feedstock. In this paper, syngas was produced via biomass chemical looping gasification(CLG) process. Hematite, the most common Fe-based oxygen carrier(OC), was modified with different metal oxides(CeO_(2), CaO and MgO) by the impregnation method. The hematite modified by CeO_(2), CaO and MgO was namely as CeO_(2)-hematite(CeO_(2)-H), CaO-hematite(CaO-H) and MgO-hematite(MgO-H), respectively. The introduction of CeO_(2), CaO and MgO enhanced the reactivity of lattice oxygen of hematite. The optimum condition for syngas production had been explored as the mass ratio of oxygen carrier to biomass(O/B) of 0.2, the mass ratio of steam to biomass(S/B) of0.75 and temperature of 800℃in the biomass CLG process. The CeO_(2)-H exhibited the most wonderful performance compared to that for CaO-H and MgO-H. The crystal composition of OC influenced greatly in the CLG process. CeFeO_(3)had a good oxygen mobility property and lattice oxygen releasing capacity due to the most oxygen vacancy distributed on the OC surface and the most active lattice oxygen, which is conducive to the biomass chemical looping gasification process for syngas production, leading to the highest gasification efficiency of 95.86% and gas yield of 1.20 m^(3)/kg of the three. Cyclic test proved that CeO_(2)-H had well sintering resistance and cyclic performance.

Retention mechanism of calcium ferrite and compositions of ash on selenium during chemical looping gasification

Selenium pollution by coal utilization is of increasing concern.Calcium-iron(Ca-Fe)oxygen carriers(OCs)and alkali metal ions have strong inhibitory effects on selenium,which can reduce the emissions of selenium vapor.The retention mechanisms of selenium by Fe_(2)O_(3),CaFe_(2)O_(4),Ca_(2)Fe_(2)O_(5) and bottom ash are investigated during chemical looping gasification(CLG).Iron-based OC can oxidize H_(2)Se(g)to SeO_(2)(g);furthermore,lattice oxygen is released by Fe_(2)O_(3),contributing to the formation of an Fe-O-Se structure to retain selenium and form selenite.Because calcium ferrite is poorly oxidizing,it cannot oxidize H_(2)Se(g),but the CaO produced when OCs are reduced can react with H_(2)Se(g)to form CaSe(s),and this process can be promoted by H_(2)S(g).The best retention rates reached 32.301%when Ca_(2)Fe_(2)O_(5) was used.In the cyclic experiment,the selenium retention of the bottom ash gradually increases.Alkali metal ions in bottom ash are the main factor in retaining selenium.Ca^(2+) and Mg^(2+) do not easily vaporize due to their high melting points;therefore,their selenium retention is significantly better than that of K^(+) and Na^(+).This research provided a new idea for the removal of selenium by using OCs and bottom ash par-ticles during CLG.

A novel hybrid digestion-gasification process integrated with membranes for efficient conversion of biomass to bio-alcohols

There is an urgent need to develop technologies which enable the conversion of biomass into liquid biofuels to fill the gap between limited fossil fuel supplies and increasing worldwide demand.In order to achieve the EU 2030 vision of at least 15%of the fuels used in the road transportation sector will be biofuels derived from non-food biomass feedstocks,the R&D of clean,inexpensive,highly end-user compatible biofuels from a virtually inexhaustible source of biomass should be pursued to make breakthroughs in cost-effective biomass to liquid biofuels(BTL)technologies.Thus,an innovative,consolidated,and sustainable technology using a hybrid digestion-gasification process integrated with membranes to produce next generation bio-alcohols from different biomass feedstocks was designed.The proposed concept was theoretically estimated to achieve an overall BTL efficiency of 44%and a cost reduction for bioalcohol production of 18.6%.Moreover,this technology can potentially achieve an overall CO2 emission reduction of>75%for road transport based on the preliminary analysis.

Simulation study on the gasification process of Ningdong coal with iron-based oxygen carrier
