基于赤泥载氧体的污泥/煤粉化学链气化协同超低浓度瓦斯氧化特性

Characteristics of chemical looping gasification for sewage sludge/coal and ultra-low concentration methane based on red mud oxygen carrier

  • 摘要: 污泥与煤矿超低浓度瓦斯是典型的固废与温室气体,二者的高效资源化处理利用是亟待解决的环境与能源问题。以赤泥为载氧体,污泥−煤粉为燃料,超低浓度瓦斯为氧化气体,在流化床反应器中研究反应温度(800~950 °C)、水蒸气流量(0~0.2 g/min)及煤粉掺混量(0~50%)对化学链气化特性的影响,并对反应前后载氧体的晶相结构与微观形貌进行表征分析。结果表明:在反应温度900 °C、水蒸气流量0.1 g/min及掺煤量40%的条件下,燃料碳转化率为93.90%, H2及CO产量(以碳为基准)分别为45.58×10−3和7.75×10−3 mol/g,且氧化过程中的CH4转化率在任意工况下均保持在99%以上。反应温度的升高有利于提高燃料碳转化率与气体产量,但温度过高会导致载氧体烧结或灰分熔融从而降低反应活性;水蒸气可显著提高燃料碳转化率与H2产量,但会降低CO产量,且过量水蒸气会导致局部温度降低而抑制反应的进行。污泥与煤粉共燃具有显著的协同作用,污泥的高挥发分热解生成的小分子物质有利于煤的气化,煤粉的高固定碳有利于弥补污泥热值的不足,两者协同显著提高了燃料碳转化率与气体产量。X射线衍射(XRD)与扫描电子显微镜-能谱分析(SEM-EDS)表明,赤泥载氧体反应后晶粒细化,但Fe2O3主相稳定,具有优异的氧传输能力与热稳定性。本研究为污泥与煤粉共燃的技术优化提供了理论与试验基础,证明了化学链技术协同处置赤泥、污泥与超低浓度瓦斯的可行性,为废弃物的协同处理提供了新思路。

     

    Abstract: Sewage sludge and ultra-low concentration methane are typical solid wastes and greenhouse gases, posing urgent environmental and energy challenges due to their inefficient resource utilization. This study used red mud as an oxygen carrier, sewage sludge/coal powder as fuels, and ultra-low concentration methane as an oxidizing gas to systematically investigate the effects of temperature (800−950 °C), steam flow rate (0−0.2 g/min), and coal blending ratio (0−50%) on chemical looping gasification performance in a fluidized bed reactor. In addition, the crystalline structure and surface morphology of the oxygen carrier before and after reaction were analyzed. Results showed that under conditions of 900 °C, 0.1 g/min steam flow rate, and 40% coal blending ratio, the carbon conversion rate was 93.90%, with H2 and CO yields of 45.58×10−3 and 7.75×10−3 mol/g, respectively. Furthermore, the CH4 conversion rate exceeded 99% across all experimental conditions. Elevated temperatures enhanced carbon conversion and gas yields, but excessive temperatures reduced reactivity due to oxygen carrier sintering or ash fusion. Steam addition significantly improved carbon conversion and H2 yield but suppressed CO production, while excessive steam lowered localized temperatures and inhibited the reaction. The co-gasification of sludge and coal exhibited a synergistic effect: volatile matter from sludge promotes coal char gasification, and the high fixed carbon content of coal compensates for the low calorific value of sludge, collectively enhancing gasification efficiency. XRD and SEM-EDS characterization revealed that the red mud oxygen carrier maintained stable Fe2O3 crystallinity despite post-reaction grain refinement, demonstrating excellent oxygen transport capacity and thermal stability. This study provided theoretical and experimental foundations for optimizing sludge/coal co-gasification technology and validated the feasibility of chemical looping processes for synergistic disposal of red mud, sewage sludge, and ultra-low concentration methane, offering innovative insights into waste-to-energy conversion.
