Definitions
- the present invention relates to processes for the production of fuel from refuse, in particular processes for the production of fuel, such as water gas, hydrogen, or alcohol (such as methanol or ethanol), from industrial or domestic refuse that has a calorific value, and to related apparatus for the production of fuel from refuse.
- fuel such as water gas, hydrogen, or alcohol (such as methanol or ethanol)
- alcohol such as methanol or ethanol
- Incineration of refuse has also been considered as an option. However, this commonly leads to the production of undesirable and toxic chemicals.
- the present invention provides, in a first aspect, a process for the production of fuel from refuse, the process comprising the steps of: (a) providing refuse that has a calorific value;
- step (c) contacting the off gas obtained in step (b) with incandescent carbon-based char in the presence of water, in the form of steam, and oxygen so as to produce water gas comprising hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
- This process is environmentally friendly, as it permits the disposal of refuse whilst avoiding toxic or otherwise undesirable side products.
- the high temperature used in step (c) to produce the water gas ensures that the undesirable and toxic chemicals associated with the incineration of refuse are not present.
- the process is also advantageous in that it provides a useful fuel product from the refuse.
- the water gas may be used directly as a fuel, or the hydrogen can be isolated for use as a fuel.
- the water gas may subsequently be converted to an alcohol, such as methanol or ethanol, which may be used as fuel.
- an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol
- the process also is efficient, as it permits recycling within the process of products/by-products obtained in of one or more of its steps.
- any refuse that has a calorific value in other words any refuse that produces heat during combustion, can be used in the present process.
- the refuse may be domestic or industrial.
- the refuse has a calorific value of lkJ/kg or higher, such as 50kJ/kg or higher, e.g. 100kJ/kg or higher.
- the refuse may comprise one or more materials selected from: paper; cardboard; biomass; plastics materials and elastomeric materials, including halogenated plastics material and vehicle tyres; and food waste.
- the refuse may include water, for example the refuse could in part be a sludge or slurry, such as a wastewater sludge cake, or may be waste food that contains water. It is preferred that the water is present at a level less than that which would negate the calorific value of the refuse.
- the refuse may be heated to any suitable temperature. Preferably, the refuse is heated to a temperature of 400 0 C or higher, e.g. from 400 0 C to 1000°C or higher, such as 45O 0 C or higher, e.g.
- the refuse is heated to 1000°C or higher, such as from 1000°C to 1500°C.
- the refuse in step (b) is heated under pressure, i.e. at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.
- the refuse may be heated under a pressure of from 15OkPa to 100OkPa, such as from 15OkPa to 90OkPa or from 15OkPa to 85OkPa or from 15OkPa to 80OkPa.
- the refuse may be heated under a pressure of from 20OkPa to 90OkPa, e.g. from 25OkPa to 85OkPa, such as from 30OkPa to 80OkPa.
- the off gas preferably comprises carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in an amount of 75% by volume or more, e.g. 80% by volume or more, such as 85% by volume or more.
- the off gas suitably also includes other gases, for example hydrogen and/or gaseous hydrocarbons, such as methane.
- the off gas comprises carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. In one embodiment the off gas comprises carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane. In one embodiment the off gas comprises carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane.
- the off gas further comprises one or more other hydrocarbons in addition to methane.
- pyrolysis may occur. Pyrolysis is a chemical process in which the refuse is converted to one or more products, including an off gas product, substantially by heat. Accordingly, substantially no reactions occur by the presence of other components; e.g. a catalyst or oxygen.
- step (b) is carried out in the presence of substantially no oxygen, i.e. there is pyrolysis; in particular step (b) may be carried out in the substantial absence of air.
- an amount of oxygen of 5% of stoichiometric or less such as 3% or less or 2% or less or 1% or less or 0.5% or less of stoichiometric may be present.
- step (b) When pyrolysis is carried out, this may, for example, be at temperatures of from 400 to 500 0 C.
- recoverable materials such as glass and metal do not have to be sorted and separated from the refuse prior to carrying out step (b) as they will pass through step (b) without decomposition and can be recovered from the solid by-product.
- step (b) the refuse is heated in the limited presence of oxygen, preferably less than stoichiometric amounts of oxygen, so as to achieve chemical decomposition.
- the refuse is heated in an amount of oxygen of less than 100% of the amount required for combustion. This heating may be described as carbonation or gasification.
- the refuse may, for example, be heated in an amount of oxygen of from 1 to 99% of the amount required for combustion.
- the refuse is heated in an amount of oxygen of 90% of stoichiometric or less, such as 75% of stoichiometric or less, e.g. 60% of stoichiometric or less, such as 50% of stoichiometric or less.
- the oxygen is present in an amount of 40% of stoichiometric or less, such as 30% of stoichiometric or less, e.g. 20% of stoichiometric or less, such as 10% of stoichiometric or less, e.g. 9% of stoichiometric or less.
- the oxygen is present in an amount of more than 30 and up to 90% of stoichiometric, such as from 35 to 80% of stoichiometric, e.g. from 40 to 70% of stoichiometric, such as from 45 to 65 ⁇ o of stoichiometric.
- step (b) Because some oxygen will almost inevitably be present in any system, partial oxidation will usually occur in step (b) , regardless as to whether step (b) is pyrolysis, or carbonation or gasification.
- step (b) will produce off gas that comprises carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, together with a solid byproduct, in particular a solid by-product that comprises carbon-based char.
- This off gas will generally be mainly carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, for example it may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at a level of 80% by volume or more, such as 90% by volume or more.
- the solid by-product that comprises carbon-based char may be disposed of.
- step (c) some or all of the solid by-product that comprises carbon-based char may be used in step (c).
- some or all of the solid byproduct that comprises carbon-based char may be used to form a bed of carbon-based char which is used in step (c).

- the oxygen may be provided in pure form, substantially pure form or in the form of a mixture with other gases, such as in the form of air.
- the oxygen is provided in the form of oxygen- enriched air.
- air may have additional oxygen added to it, e.g. from a pressure swing absorption oxygen generator, prior to the air being fed into the water gas production unit.
- Oxygen enrichment may be advantageous in that it can reduce the nitrogen content of the water gas produced, increasing its calorific value. This reduction in nitrogen content of the water gas can also be beneficial in terms of the design of any downstream processing of the water gas, for example in the design of an alcohol (e.g. methanol or ethanol) synthesis unit to process the water gas.
- an alcohol e.g. methanol or ethanol
- the oxygen is preferably introduced at pressure sufficient to drive the gases through the process.
- the oxygen may be pre-heated, e.g. pre-heated to 200 0 C or higher, such as 300 0 C or higher, for example 400 0 C or higher. This provides an improved yield of water gas.
- the oxygen may be introduced below the carbon-based char.
- the oxygen is blasted into the water gas production unit below the carbon- based char.

- the carbon-based char may be red hot or white hot. Suitably, it may be at a temperature of 1000 0 C or higher, e.g. from 1000 to 1600 0 C or higher, such as HOO 0 C or higher; preferably the carbon-based char is at a temperature of 1200 0 C or higher, for example 125O 0 C or higher, such as 1300°C or higher; e.g. 135O 0 C or higher.
- step (c) Although pressurised oxygen and/or steam may introduced at a pressure sufficient to drive the gases through the char bed, high pressures are not required in step (c).
- step (c) uses pressure of 45OkPa or less, such as 40OkPa or less, or 30OkPa or less, or 20OkPa or less, or 15OkPa or less.
- step (c) a pressure of greater than atmospheric pressure may be used.
- step (c) may use a pressure of from 105kPa to 50OkPa, such as from HOkPa to 45OkPa or from 12OkPa to 40OkPa or from 13OkPa to 35OkPa.
- a pressure of from 14OkPa to 30OkPa e.g. from 14OkPa to 27OkPa, such as from 15OkPa to 25OkPa may be used.
- the composition of the resultant water gas can be controlled by several of the reaction conditions.
- the ratio of off gas to carbon-based char; the levels of steam introduced; and the levels of oxygen used will affect the resultant water gas composition.
- the ratio of steam to oxygen can be adjusted to control the gas composition of the resultant water gas, as desired.
- the water gas produced in step (c) preferably comprises a majority of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with a minority of carbon dioxide.
- 70% or more by volume of the water gas may be hydrogen and carbon monoxide, such as 80% or more by volume (for example from 85 to 95% by volume) , e.g. 90% or more by volume.
- the water gas produced in step (c) may comprise, in addition to hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, other gases.
- the water gas may comprise nitrogen and/or gaseous hydrocarbons, such as methane.

- some or all of the water gas obtained in step (c) is subsequently converted to an alcohol, such as a Cl- C6 alcohol, e.g. a Cl, C2, C3 or C4 alcohol; preferably the alcohol is methanol or ethanol.
- the result of carrying out the water-gas reaction (c) following the chemical decomposition in step (b) is to increase the amount of hydrogen.

- the water gas produced in step (c) may be passed through a heat exchanger before step (d) , and the heat obtained may be used to pre-heat the cleaned water gas when it is fed to step (e) .
- steps (b) and (c) may be controlled so as to achieve a gas composition optimised for alcohol (e.g. methanol or ethanol) production in step (e).
- the conditions in step (b) may be controlled so as to control the amounts of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the gas produced
