Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the catalytic splitting of in the gasification of carbon-containing masses, in particular biomass and sewage sludge, in a fluidized bed at temperatures from 700 to 1200 ° C, preferably 850 to 950 ° C, and a stoichiometric air factor ⁇ , based on the C. - and H content of the carbon-containing masses, from 0.28 to 0.60 volatile higher, preferably aromatic hydrocarbons of the C 6 to C 22 binding systems contained in the raw gas.
  • the raw gas produced during the gasification of carbonaceous masses such as bio-waste, waste, sewage sludge, coal and the like, in a fluidized bed under lack of oxygen at temperatures from 700 to 1200 ° C. contains up to 20 g / Nm 3 higher, preferably aromatic hydrocarbons of the C 6 -bis C 22 binding systems.
  • the raw gas usually has to be before gasification downstream recycling, for example in Rotary kilns, boiler systems for power generation, Current machines, piston machines or the like Be subjected to gas cleaning. Often condensing higher aromatic Hydrocarbons significantly hamper gas cleaning.
  • the tar content of the raw gas is usually reduced by washing.
  • the formation of aerosols that occurs makes it difficult to remove tar.
  • This disadvantage tries to remedy by means of a method known from EP-B 0 310 584 for the purification of raw gas produced from a carbon-containing material by gasification.
  • the raw gas generated in a first stage is subjected to a catalytic treatment in a second stage formed from a circulating fluidized bed in the presence of magnesium-calcium carbonate-containing material.
  • the tar content in the raw gas is reduced to less than 500 mm / Nm 3 .
  • Such a low tar content generally allows the raw gas to be cleaned by means of bag filters, since the low tar contents are absorbed by the carbon-rich dust particles still present, so that the particles remain free-flowing and the bag filters do not stick together.
  • the particles forming the fluidized bed consist of at least one of the substances selected from oxides, hydroxides and carbonates of calcium, aluminum, silicon, nickel, magnesium, titanium, iron, cobalt and molybdenum, and related on the content of hydrocarbons in the raw gas, are used in stoichiometric excess.
  • This measure considerably reduces the content of higher aromatic carbons, in particular the C 6 to C 22 binding systems, to contents of ⁇ 500 mg / Nm 3 .
  • an "in-situ" cleavage ie a cleavage of the higher aromatic hydrocarbons, is achieved during the gasification of the carbon-containing masses.
  • a special training of the invention The process can be seen in the fact that this is the fluidized bed leaving raw gas after pre-dedusting, d. H. to the separation of those from the fluidized bed Dust particles, a catalytic aftertreatment is subjected to, in which the residual contents at higher Hydrocarbons are almost completely split.
  • the fluid bed is expediently left and dedusted raw gas over honeycomb catalysts or Bulk catalysts directed. They are still existing higher hydrocarbons at those there prevailing gasification temperatures catalytically in at Ambient temperatures of non-condensable gas components split. However, such catalysts can to be waived if up to 15% of the fluidized bed forming particles from a common cobalt / molybdenum and / or nickel catalyst exist.
  • the Raw gas at the entrance to the catalyst is so high Airborne dust concentration, that a cleaning effect entry.
  • the invention is based on one in the Drawing (Fig. 1) and a flow chart Embodiment explained in more detail.
  • 2 is the Influence of different substances on the fluidized bed forming particles on the tar reduction in the raw gas as Column chart reproduced.
  • the raw gas formed by the gasification and emerging from the reactor in an amount of 800 m 3 / hour still contains 0.329 g / Nm 3 of hydrocarbons which consist of 0.012 g / Nm 3 of naphthalene and 0.285 g / Nm 3 of BTX aromatics .
  • the naphthalene is predominantly present in the volatile higher aromatic hydrocarbons and can be regarded as a key parameter for the splitting of the hydrocarbons, ie if the naphthalene content can be reduced to ⁇ 50 mg / Nm 3 , it can be assumed that The hydrocarbon content is so pure that it is suitable for further use in boiler systems, gas turbines, gas engines or the like without any problems.
  • the raw gas is directly dedusted from the particles forming the fluidized bed in the recycle cyclone (2) downstream of the fluidized bed reactor (1) and the separated particles are fed back to the fluidized bed reactor (1) via line (11).
  • the raw gas is passed over a honeycomb catalyst (10) arranged in the dip tube (9) of the recycle cyclone (2).
  • the raw gas leaving the honeycomb catalyst (10) via line (8) is almost ⁇ 0.05 g / Nm 3 free of higher aromatic hydrocarbons and can thus be fed to further gas cleaning without the use of special separator stages.
  • the dedusted raw gas is fed to a boiler system (12) with a heat exchanger and leaves it via line (16).
  • the raw gas is cleaned in a downstream bag filter (13) and then fed to a thermal utilization via line (15).
  • the fly ash and abrasion particles of the particles forming the fluidized bed still contained therein are removed from the raw gas leaving the return cyclone (2), discharged via line (17), agglomerated and returned to the fluidized bed reactor.
  • the bar diagram shown in FIG. 2 shows the effect of different substances forming the fluidized bed with a grain size of 0.03 to 3 mm on higher hydrocarbons contained in the raw gas.
  • the value of 100% corresponds to a hydrocarbon content of 3 to 20 g / Nm 3 .
