摘要
新发展的基于CaO/CaCO_3-CuO/Cu颗粒体系的钙-铜循环(Ca-Culooping)利用CuO与燃料的放热反应来提供CaCO_3煅烧所需的热量,有望降低碳捕集成本和能耗.通过组织颗粒的循环方式,可以获得3种钙-铜循环模式:碳酸化-煅烧/还原-氧化-碳酸化、碳酸化-氧化-煅烧/还原-碳酸化、碳酸化/氧化-煅烧/还原-碳酸化/氧化.本文利用流程模拟软件AspenPlus对3种钙-铜循环燃烧后碳捕集系统进行过程模拟、参数优化和分析,并与常规的钙循环系统进行比较.发现碳酸化-氧化-煅烧/还原-碳酸化循环的碳酸化转化率最高,达到81.44%;钙-铜循环中煅烧反应器运行在常压、820℃,钙循环中煅烧反应器运行在常压、840℃时,可实现完全转化;钙循环对燃料和空气的需求量均低于钙-铜循环;对于钙-铜循环,3种循环模式所需铜钙比(Cu/Ca摩尔比)为5.13~5.19,比值相近.分析结果显示,损最大处发生在煅烧反应器中,基于碳酸化-氧化-煅烧/还原-碳酸化的钙-铜循环系统的效率最高,可达65.04%,与常规钙循环系统相比,效率提高了约30%.
A novel Ca-Cu looping,based on CaO/CaCO_3-CuO/Cu bi-carriers,solves this problem in a subtle way by providing the heat released from the exothermic reaction of CuO with fuel to the endothermic reaction of CaCO_3 calcination,which is expected to lower the CO2 capture cost as well as the overall energy consumption. Typically, there are three kinds of solid cycle used for Ca-Cu looping :(1) carbonation-calcination/reductionoxidation-carbonation,(2)carbonation-oxidation-calcination/reduction-carbonation,and(3)carbonation/oxidationcalcination/reduction-carbonation/oxidation. In this work,we used Aspen Plus software to conduct process simulations of these three kinds of Ca-Cu looping,with a main focus on parameter optimization and exergy analysis. The simulation results showed that the second type of Ca–Cu looping had the highest carbonation conversion of up to 81.44%. In operation conditions of 0.1 MPa,820 ℃,complete conversion can be achieved in the calciner for CaCu looping,where asoperation conditions of 0.1 MPa,840 ℃ were needed for Ca-looping. Compared with Ca-Cu looping,the fuel and air requirements were both lower in Ca-looping,and a Cu/Ca molar ratio of 5.13—5.19 was necessary in Ca-Cu looping. Our exergy analysis results indicated that the maximum exergy destruction occurs in the calciner and the second type of Ca-Cu looping had the highest exergy efficiency of up to 65.04%,which was approximately 30% higher than that of the traditional Ca-looping.
