Description

A kind of plasma pyrolysis carbonaceous material reactor assembly with hollow cathode or two hollow cathode
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for cracking containing the carbonaceous material of volatile matter with the high energy efficiency apparatus and method of production high yield pyrolysis product, particularly, relate to and a kind ofly there is the plasma pyrolysis carbonaceous material reactor assembly of hollow cathode or two hollow cathode and utilize the method for this plasma reactor system cracking carbonaceous material, more particularly, a kind of method utilizing this plasma reactor system to produce acetylene is also related to.
Background technology
Usually, carbonaceous material and other compositions, other suitable heat source as known by arcing device or those of ordinary skill in the art together with hydrogen, to make carbonaceous material cracking or pyrolysis.The result of decomposing as carbonaceous material and the product composition that produces depends on the reaction condition of resolver or reaction zone.As everyone knows, some specific reaction condition is conducive to the formation of some specific components, and such as, reaction zone temperature is higher than the formation being conducive to intermediate product acetylene during 1300K, and or close to during 1300K compared with the decomposition of simultaneous acetylene, be also conducive to the formation of acetylene.
Generally speaking, when electric arc is used as thermal source, arc-through gas, as hydrogen, cause gas temperature in very short time, be increased to high temperature.Arc column temperature reaches 8000K ~ 20000K usually.Temperature when gas leaves electric arc is usually at about 2000K ~ 5000K.With this understanding, gas molecule, partial dissociation as possible in hydrogen molecule become hydrogen atom or even H +or H -, produce high-temperature plasma gas thus.
Once high-temperature plasma gas, leave electric arc as plasma hydrogen, plasma gas atom or ion, such as hydrogen atom just have the tendency be exceedingly fast recombining into molecule, and if be that like this they will discharge a large amount of heat.Except the sensible heat of plasma gas, the part great majority of above-mentioned heat by heat conduction, convection current and radiation by near the atom of plasma gas or ion or the particles of carbonaceous material that contacts with it absorb, thus cause particles of carbonaceous material by pyrolysis and/or cracking or decomposition, more particularly, particles of carbonaceous material is caused to release its volatile ingredient, i.e. devolatilization.
Known and determine: with the difference of carbonaceous material type, the decomposition of carbonaceous material and the step of devolatilization and condition can great changes have taken place.Before this, because not knowing as how rational cost obtains the pyrolysis product of high yield as the method for acetylene, so gaseous state and liquid carbon material are the pan feedings that people commonly use by Solid carbonaceous material.Gaseous state and liquid pan feeding are easy to process in addition, and lower to the loss of device of arc.
On the other hand, although basic process steps is known, the mode of instruction people as how a kind of high energy efficiency make to come from Solid carbonaceous material some specific cleavage product, as the such as technical process of the maximize yield of acetylene and technique dynamics still may not be perfectly clear.
In the prior art, be the improvement that the maximize yield of some pyrolysis product coming from Solid carbonaceous material is carried out equipment and process, people have done a lot of trial and experiment.
Such as, US3328276 discloses a kind of method that generation is suitable for the plasma beam of cracking reaction, it comprises makes the hydrogen-hydrocarbon gas mixture of corresponding 6-25 the hydrogen atom of each carbon atom by the cooled negative electrode of hollow and the electric arc of direct current whirling motion-stable that maintains between above-mentioned negative electrode and the cooled anode of hollow, the whirling motion chamber passing through around described electric arc with making hydrogen stream, the electric arc operating voltage wherein represented with volt is 5-15 with the ratio of the electric arc operating current represented with ampere.In the cleavage product stream produced by the method, the content of acetylene is up to 14.80 volume %.
US4358629 discloses and a kind ofly decomposes the method that solid carbonaceous material is translated into acetylene.Specifically, this patent instruction people select the operating condition of low cost, high yield.In that patent, advise that carbonaceous material and the heat of gas and the particular value of enthalpy combine with specific particle diameter and reaction time.Above-mentioned all instructions and suggestion contribute to producing acetylene with commercial competitive cost.
In fact, US4358629 describes a kind of arc reactor, and its direction along solid carbonaceous material movement comprises four regions successively, i.e. solid carbonaceous material powder dispersion district, arc region, reaction zone and chill zone.Because described powder is in the thermal inertia that the time of staying is extremely short and described powder is now temporary transient of arc region, the temperature of described powder keeps certainly close to its temperature at entrance, and the gas simultaneously flowed through reaches the high temperature of 8000K.Solid carbonaceous material powder is only heated by heated air stream by heat conduction and convection current at reaction zone.Like this, all electric power is inputted by thin arc region, namely the large energy being enough to described powder temperature to be increased to more than 1800K causes the irrational excessive gathering of energy, and inevitably by the beat exposure too concentrated on the wall of reactor, thus cause reactor wall overheated.About the wall of guard reactor and the heat that must remove near the wall of reactor accounts for the half of whole electric power input, result, a large amount of valuable energy is had to waste.In addition, specific region occurs that high temperature forms great challenge to the design of reactor wall structure, the selection of wall material, also makes wall protection become a difficult problem.

Detailed description of the invention
Be further explained in detail the present invention by description below with reference to the accompanying drawings, the corresponding or equivalent parts wherein shown in accompanying drawing or the identical reference numerals of feature represent.
Generally speaking, the reaction of the volatile matter discharged by RESEARCH OF PYROCARBON material, such as bituminous coal plays a part necessary and important in pyrolysis product is produced.Due to carbonaceous material experience and the gas of high reaction activity, the reaction be exceedingly fast of such as high-temperature plasma gas, and such reaction requires to be terminated instantaneously, to such an extent as to cannot describe with common process or calculate above-mentioned pyrolysis and reaction.Broadly, pyrolysis product distribution depends on the type of carbonaceous material and the operating condition of employing, if reaction and/or the time of staying only have several milliseconds, the sufficient time just can not be had to reach thermodynamic equilibrium, and therefore would not generate can the cigarette ash that formed of the volatile matter secondary response produced by carbonaceous material of quantitation.
For solid carbonaceous material, the heat transfer of carbonaceous material and pyrolysis, homogeneous phase be solid-and solid/liquid/gas reactions and homogeneous gas phase all can affect speed, the i.e. productive rate that pyrolysis product is formed.In fact, one of main purpose of the present invention is exactly make some specific cleavage products, maximize yield as acetylene, therefore understands and determine that the characteristic of above-mentioned pyrolysis and reaction, mechanism and operating condition have been keys of the present invention.
Countless test and observation confirm: the pyrolysis temperature of carbonaceous material, particularly solid carbonaceous material is preferably 650 DEG C ~ 1250 DEG C, such as 680-1100 DEG C, be more preferably 700 DEG C ~ 930 DEG C, be particularly preferably 750 DEG C ~ 900 DEG C, such as 850 DEG C, and the gas-phase reaction temperature of the volatile matter obtained by carbonaceous material is preferably 1500 DEG C ~ 2900 DEG C, is more preferably 1500 DEG C ~ 2500 DEG C, being particularly preferably 1500 DEG C ~ 2000 DEG C, such as, is 1750 DEG C or 1850 DEG C.
Said temperature determine carbonaceous material experience pyrolysis and discharge volatile matter preferable temperature and subsequently volatile matter carry out the preferable temperature of gas-phase reaction.Because carbonaceous material pyrolysis is formed in the chamber producing plasma and/or electric arc and just starts between described hollow cathode and anode, and estimate that the volatile matter exceeding maximum growing amount 60% is formed in above-mentioned chamber, the gas-phase reaction of above-mentioned volatile matter then mainly occurs in reaction tube.
Desirable fast as far as possible and transform as far as possible completely in order to obtain, the above-mentioned gas-phase reaction time of described volatile matter is preferably less than 4 milliseconds, such as 2 milliseconds, more preferably less than 1 millisecond, is particularly preferably less than 0.4 millisecond, such as, is less than 0.3 or 0.2 millisecond.Such reaction time can ensure the high yield obtaining pyrolysis product.
Generally speaking, the feasible method improving the productive rate of pyrolysis product, particularly acetylene has following several:
First, elementary volatile matter and at high-temperature plasma gas, as plasma hydrogen and/or comprise the high but reaction height be exceedingly fast between the plasma composition that the time-to-live is short of reactivity in the inert gas of helium and control some specific cleavage product, productive rate as acetylene.Therefore, if extremely fast RESEARCH OF PYROCARBON material and discharge high concentration or a large amount of volatile matters, the productive rate of pyrolysis product will be higher, this ultra-fine grain diameter by choose reasonable carbonaceous material distributes, or consider that the oxygen in volatile matter can be converted into carbon monoxide and consume acetylene, adopt the low-grade but carbonaceous material that oxygen content is low to realize.
Secondly, the optimum operation condition of RESEARCH OF PYROCARBON material is selected, to obtain the volatile matter of maximum quantity.Therefore, suitable pyrolysis time, pressure and/or temperature make described volatile matter growing amount reach maximum key.
3rd, above-mentioned volatile matter is contacted with the plasma composition of as far as possible many high reaction activities, so does and can increase reaction surface and improve reaction conversion ratio.
4th, the reaction temperature of volatile matter and high reaction activity plasma composition is another key factor affecting pyrolysis product productive rate, generally speaking, the productive rate of pyrolysis product improves with the temperature of above-mentioned gas-phase reaction and increases, but too high reaction temperature can cause being formed can the cigarette ash of quantitation and hydrogen.
Those of ordinary skill in the art can obviously find out from above analysis: the pyrolysis of carbonaceous material and the gas-phase reaction of elementary volatile matter and high reaction activity plasma composition are all the most important processes forming pyrolysis product.But, the optimal processing parameter of pyrolysis or operating condition are usually different from the optimal processing parameter of above-mentioned gas-phase reaction or operating condition, if as the structural design of the plasma reactor existed in prior art, i.e. the contacting and mixing of carbonaceous material and plasma flow, carbonaceous material pyrolysis, occur in the same space or region with volatile matter gas-phase reaction, not only because the region that carbonaceous material contacts with plasma flow and mix causes hot transfer efficiency to decline away from high-temperature region, and the technological parameter of pyrolysis and gas-phase reaction or operating condition also cannot reach well balance and optimization.
For above-mentioned fatal shortcoming, the present inventor is proposed by countless trial and experiment and has been invented a kind of plasma reactor system of brand new, the plasma reactor system invented makes above-mentioned pyrolysis and gas-phase reaction occur at least in part in different spaces or region dexterously, thus makes the technological parameter of pyrolysis and gas-phase reaction or operating condition reach optimum simultaneously.
