    Experiment on oxygen-enriched directional gasification of corn stover in a bubbling fluidized bed

    • 摘要: 为了提高气化气品质,进而推进生物质气化技术在能源、化工等行业的广泛应用,该研究以玉米秸秆为原料,基于自供热鼓泡流化床为反应装置进行富氧定向气化试验,以H/C为目标参数,系统研究了当量比(ER)与富氧浓度(OC)对气化气中H2、CO浓度及氢碳比(H/C)的影响。试验结果表明:在达到最佳H/C的前提下,随着当量比和富氧浓度的增加,H2浓度均逐渐升高,最高可达23.10%;CO浓度受当量比与富氧浓度交互作用调控,低富氧浓度(30%~35%)时,CO浓度与当量比呈正相关,高富氧浓度(>50%)时呈负相关,此外,在不同的当量比条件下,提高富氧浓度总体上有利于提高CO浓度,最高可达41.54%;H/C也可通过当量比与富氧浓度进行调控,当富氧浓度较低(30%~35%)时,增加当量比对H/C的增幅影响较小,当富氧浓度高于50%时,增加当量比更有利于提升H/C,此外,不同当量比条件下,当富氧浓度接近75%时,有利于获得较大的H/C,其中,当富氧浓度取75.10%,当量比取0.39时,H/C最高可达0.66,但当进一步提高富氧浓度至100%时,H/C却有所降低。研究结果可为鼓泡流化床富氧气化技术在工业领域的应用提供坚实的理论支持。

       

      Abstract: To improve the quality of syngas and further promote the wide application of biomass gasification technology in industries such as energy and chemical engineering, this study used corn straw (a typical agricultural biomass resource) as the raw material, quartz sand as the bed material, and conducted oxygen-enriched directional gasification experiments with a self-heating bubbling fluidized bed as the reaction device. Taking the hydrogen-carbon ratio (H/C) as the target parameter, the study systematically investigated the effects of equivalence ratio (ER) and oxygen concentration (OC) on the concentrations of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the syngas, as well as the hydrogen-carbon ratio (H/C) itself. The experimental results showed that on the premise of achieving the optimal H/C ratio, the concentration of H2 in the syngas increased gradually with the gradual increase of both ER and OC. The experiment found that increasing OC to 100% and raising ER to the range of 0.36~0.39 (high ER range) facilitated obtaining a relatively high H2 concentration, which reached a maximum of 23.1%. The concentration of CO was regulated by the interaction between ER and OC. At low OC levels (30%~35%), the CO concentration had a positive correlation with ER; this was because when OC was low, a proper increase in ER promoted the combustion of combustible components in the gasifier and released more heat, while the rise in gasification temperature was conducive to enhancing reactions such as the Boudouard reaction. At high OC levels (>50%), the CO concentration showed a negative correlation with ER; this was because when OC was high, increasing ER led to excessive oxygen in the gasifier, and part of the CO generated from gasification reactions was oxidized to CO2. In addition, under different ER conditions, increasing OC was generally conducive to improving the CO concentration in the syngas. The experiment also found that on the premise of achieving the optimal H/C ratio, increasing OC to 100% and setting ER to the range of 0.28~0.30 (medium ER range) helped obtain a relatively high CO concentration, with the maximum reaching 41.54%. The H/C ratio could also be regulated by ER and OC. When OC was low (30%~35%), increasing ER had a small impact on the increase of H/C ratio; when OC was higher than 50%, increasing ER was more beneficial to enhancing the H/C ratio. Besides, under different ER conditions, an OC close to 75% was favorable for obtaining a relatively high H/C ratio. Specifically, when OC was set at 75.1% and ER at 0.39, a relatively high H/C ratio was achieved, reaching a maximum of 0.66. However, when OC was further increased to 100%, the pure oxygen condition promoted the preferential oxidation reaction of carbon, generating CO2 and CO, while the water-gas reaction was relatively weakened. As a result, the increase rate of CO concentration was relatively significant, while the increase rate of H2 concentration was relatively weakened, which led to a slight decrease in H/C ratio.The results of this study could provide solid theoretical support for the application of oxygen-enriched gasification technology in bubbling fluidized beds in the industrial field.
