Definitions

  • This invention relates to new processes for making hydrogen, oxides of carbon, methane, other light hydrocarbons, and mixtures of two or more of these products by reacting carbonaceous materials comprising carbon, ferrous group metal components, and hydrogen with steam. These processes produce commercially attractive product yields in commercially attractive temperature ranges.
  • the invention also relates to new carbonaceous materials comprising carbon, hydrogen, and ferrous group metal components, particularly nickel and cobalt.
  • new carbonaceous materials comprising carbon, hydrogen, and ferrous group metal components, particularly nickel and cobalt.
  • the methods for making our new carbonaceous materials comprise depositing carbon from carbon monoxide-containing gas mixtures over one or more ferrous group metal initiators.
  • ferrous metal is transferred from the inititor to our carbonaceous material and becomes an integral part of these materials as described above.
  • the ferrous group metal starting materials, called initiators in the deposition reaction to distinguish them from ferro.us group metal components in our new carbonaceous materials can be supported or unsupported ferrous group metals, ores, alloys or mixtures of such species.
  • carbonaceous materials formed at temperatures above about 550oC especially those carbonaceous materials formed above this temperature from cobalt alone or from ferrous group metai components containing at least about 70 percent by weight cobalt, tend to produce substantial quantities of hydrogen in the steam gasification reactions of this invention.
  • the gasification reaction tends to produce hydrogen in large quantities, especially where the carbonaceous material is cobalt-based.
  • the molar ratio of steam fed to carbon gasified is less than about 3, and the steam gasification pressure is in the range of about 10 to about 100 atmospheres, (and therefore nearly equals the amount required for thermodynamic equilibrium)
  • the gasification reaction tends to produce methane in large quantities, especially where the carbonaceous material is nickel-based.
  • the gaseous products initially formed in the steaming reactions of this invention can be converted to gas mixtures richer in hydrocarbons, hydrogen, or both, by lowering the temperature of the gaseous products and contacting these products with either fresh or partially reacted carbonaceous material in the range of about 300°C to about 500oC, and by adjusting the pressure and steam feed rate to produce the desired gases, as explained below.
  • the carbon monoxide-containing gas mixtures used in the deposition processes for making our new carbonaceous materials can be low pressure or high pressure producer or synthesis gases. Such gas mixtures may include substantial quantities of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, but must contain little or no sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon disulfide or sulfur dioxide. If necessary, carbon monoxide-containing gas mixtures are pretreateo by known methods for removing sulfur-containing gases before carbon deposition begins. Carbon deposition removes some of the carbon from the carbon monoxide-containing gas mixtures at nearly 100 percent thermal efficiency since the heat of reaction may remain as sensible heat in the carbon monoxide- depleted fuel gas stream. The reaction heated, carbon monoxide-depleted gas mixture from the carbon deposition reaction is a good fuel source for generating combined cycle electric power.
  • a surprising and unexpected aspect of our methods for steam gasification of the new carbonaceous materials is that where such carbonaceous materials contain iron as the chief ferrous metal component, such carbonaceous materials have quite low rates of reactivity with steam at temperatures in the range of about 500oC to about 600oC. Steam gasification, of such carbonaceous materials at temperatures above about 700oC is adversely affected by the side reaction of the iron component with steam, ano gasification ceases long before all of the carbon is gasified.
  • our new carbonaceous materials which contain substantial amounts of nickel, cobalt, nickel alloys, cobalt alloys and mixtures thereof, have high reaction rates with steam, and do not suffer from deactivating side reactions.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the range of steam reactivities with several different carbonaceous materials, including those of our invention.
  • Tables 1 and 2 show differences in final product gas composition where the products of steam-carbon gasification of carbonaceous reactants containing different ferrous group metals further react at temperatures below the carbon gasification point of about 500oC.
  • a carbonaceous material comprising about 90 percent carbon and about 9 percent nickel, prepared by carbon deposition on nickel powder, at about 450oC, catalyzed the further conversion of a typical steam-carbon gasification mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and steam at 400oC and about 1 atmosphere pressure in a steady flow reactor.
  • Table 1 shows, nearly ail of the carbon monoxide was converted to methane and carbon dioxide, with very little additional gasification of solid carbon (0.04 gram out of 0.83 gram in 203 minutes).
  • FIG. 3 and Table 3 set forth data obtained from steaming a nickel-based carbonaceous material at 650oC at three different pressures, namely one atmosphere, 4.4 atmospheres, and 7.8, atmospheres. We conducted all these runs in small, fluidized bed, steady flow reactors at a constant steam feed rate of 23 standard cubic centimeters per minute per gram of car ⁇ on initially in the reactor. Figure 3 shows that the carbon gasification rate was nearly linear until substantially ail the carbon was gasified. Moreover, this rate did not vary appreciably with pressure. By contrast, the product composition set forth in Table 3 did change substantially depending on the pressure. As the pressure rose from one atmosphere to 7.8 atmospheres, the methane concentration tripled, the carbon monoxide concentration decreased by a factor of two, the hydrogen concentration decreased from about 53 percent to about 43 percent, and the carbon dioxide concentration rose from about 21 percent to about 31 percent.
  • Figure 4 shows that our new carbonaceous materials can cycle many times between the carbon-rich states entering the steam gasification process of our invention, and the carbon-lean states resulting from the steam gasification processes of our invention.
  • a carbonaceous material comprising about 90 percent carbon and about 9 percent cobalt by depositing carbon from a gas mixture comprising about 85 percent carbon monoxide and about 15 percent hydrogen at 450oC and one atmosphere pressure.
  • Figure 4 shows that the rate of steam gasification did not vary significantly from one cycle to the other.
  • FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing some of the advantages of a preferred embodiment of our new processes for producing methane, or other synthetic natural gas, and electric power, from coal.
  • coal from source 1 passes on path 2 to coal gasification and clean-up zone 3. There, the coal is converted to a gaseous mixture of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the ash, sulfur and water content of the mixture is reduced to acceptable levels by known methods.
  • One advantage of our processes is that we can make synthetic natural gas by reacting coal with air instead of oxygen. Unlike other synthetic gas manufacturing processes, our processes are compatible with feed stocks containing substantial amounts of nitrogen ana carbon dioxide.
  • the cold, clean product gas then passes along path 4 to carbon deposition zone 5 where formation of our carbonaceous materials Dy deposition over one or more ferrous group metal initiators takes place.
  • Some of the fuel gas may pass along path 6 directly to power generation zone 7, if desired, for combustion with air to generate base load and/or peaking power.
  • Depleted fuel gas passes on path 8 to zone 7 for conversion to power in the same way.
  • Catalytically-active carbon rich carbonaceous material passes on path 9 to steam gasification zone 10 for reaction with steam to produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane or possibly other light hydrocarbons, as desired.
  • Carbon lean carbonaceous material is returned on path 11 to carbon deposition zone 5. Nearly all of the heating value of the carbonaceous material can be converted to methane or hydrogen in our steam gasification processes.
