Description

A METHOD OF REDUCING HYDROGEN HALIDE(S) CONTENT IN SYNTHESIS GAS
The invention relates to a method for reducing hydrogen halide(s) content, in particular hydrogen chloride content, of a synthesis gas stream.
The combustion of a carbonaceous material such as a solid carbonaceous fuel by reaction with a source of gaseous oxygen is well known. In such a reaction, an amount of air or oxygen equal to or greater than that required for complete combustion is used, whereby the gaseous effluent contains carbon dioxide with little, if any, carbon monoxide. It is also known to carry out the gasification or partial oxidation of solid carbonaceous materials or fuels employing a limited quantity of oxygen or air so as to produce primarily carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Fuel sources, in particular coals, often have an undesirable halide(s) content. The halogens in the halides, in particular chlorine in chlorides and fluorine in fluorides, form acids in the synthesis gas mixture which can cause severe corrosion in the downstream processing equipment. The halides also pose environmental and safety hazards if emitted to the atmosphere.
Another problem caused by the halides is reduced efficiency of the gasification process. Condensation of some salts in the synthesis gas during cooling limits the overall efficiency of the heat recovery from the synthesis gas. This limitation in heat recovery occurs because some moderate sublimation temperature salts, such as ammonium chloride, are very corrosive when permitted to condense. Thus, to avoid having the salts condense, the synthesis gas cannot be cooled below the sublimation temperature of various salts. Since the temperature to which the synthesis gas may be cooled is thus limited, the heat recovery from the gas is accordingly limited. In particular, chlorine-containing salts are formed due to the presence of HC1. By removing HC1 from the synthesis gas, formation of such salts in the gas stream is reduced or eliminated and the gas can be cooled further to permit more thermal recovery.
A prior known method of removing HC1 is by a wet absorption system. In this known method the synthesis gas must be cooled and passed through an aqueous absorption column. The HC1 is absorbed in the water and neutralized with NaOH. This method has drawbacks since cooling the gas to remove the HC1 is inefficient and results in heat/energy loss. Also, additional equipment costs and maintenance costs result from the addition of an absorption column to the process. Economic drawbacks also result from the need for a large water treatment plant due to a build-up of salts in the water from the absorption column.
It is known from U.S. Patent Specification No. 5,118,480 to add metal-containing compounds such as nahcolite to a synthesis gas downstream of the gasifier to remove HC1 in conjunction with removing sulphur with a metal oxide sorbent. However, this process fails to address the problem of high expense associated with long piping necessary to have sufficient residence time for complete reaction.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a practical and economical dry method of reducing the hydrogen halide (s) content of synthesis gas, without the high expense of long piping. The invention provides a method for reducing the hydrogen halide (s) content of a synthesis gas stream comprising the steps of:
(a) gasifying a carbonaceous feed material in a gasifier under gasifying conditions thereby producing a gas/solids mixture comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, one or more hydrogen halides, and fly slag particles;
(b) passing the said gas/solids mixture to a solids removal zone wherein at least a portion of the fly slag particles are removed, thereby producing a gas stream;
(c) admixing with the said gas stream obtained in step (b) at least an alkali metal compound, thereby producing an alkali metal compound/gas mixture;
(d) passing the said alkali metal compound/gas mixture obtained in step (c) to a means for increasing the contact time between the hydrogen halide (s) and the alkali metal compound (s) or their thermal decomposition products;
(e) reacting the alkali metal compound (s) or thermal decomposition products thereof, with the hydrogen halide (s) thereby producing solid alkali metal halide(s), wherein a cake of solids builds up on the surface of the said means for increasing the contact time between the hydrogen halide (s) and the alkali metal compound(s) or their thermal decomposition products;
(f) periodically removing at least a portion of the cake of solids; and
(g) recovering from the said means for increasing the contact time between the hydrogen halide (s) and the alkali metal compound(s) or their thermal decomposition products a gas stream substantially free of hydrogen halide (s) .
The invention will now be described in more detail by way of example by reference to specific process aspects thereof. A. Feeds and alkali metal Compounds and Mixture Thereof
Several types of carbonaceous materials are suitable as feed sources for gasification. These include bituminous coal, sub- bituminous coal, anthracite coal, lignite, liquid hydrocarbons, petroleum coke, various organic scrap materials, municipal refuse, solid organic refuse contaminated with radioactive materials, paper industry refuse, and photographic scrap. Coal and petroleum coke are considered advantageous feeds.
The alkali metal compounds include for example potassium oxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium oxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium carbonate. Nahcolite, a naturally occurring form of sodium bicarbonate, is advantageously applied for its economy and availability. The alkali metal compounds are optionally used individually or in combination. The alkali metal compounds are mixed with the synthesis gas after the synthesis gas leaves the gasifier. Advantageously, an entrained flow gasifier is applied. The alkali metal compound is injected, advantageously dry, into the synthesis gas stream in any way suitable for the purpose. It is transported pneumatically in nitrogen or carbon dioxide or in any other conventional dry feed manner. Advantageously, at least a portion of the sensible heat of the synthesis gas is recovered prior to adding the alkali metal compound. More in particular, the synthesis gas passes through a first heat recovery zone, a solids removal zone, then a second heat recovery zone, and then the alkali metal compound is injected into the gas stream recovered from the second heat recovery zone.
The solids removal stage is advantageously a cyclone or ceramic candle filter, used individually or in combination. An electrostatic precipitator is optionally used where the system pressure is at or near atmospheric. Advantageously, the maximum amount of sensible heat is recovered which does not reduce the temperature of the synthesis gas below the condensation point of any chloride compounds present in the synthesis gas. Such condensation results in equipment corrosion problems. B. Reaction, Cooling, and Solids Removal
By way of example reference will in particular be made to the dry removal of hydrogen chloride from synthesis gas. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the method of the invention is also applicable for removal of other hydrogen halide(s) from synthesis gas.
After the alkali metal compound is injected it will react with the halogen e.g. chlorine in the hydrogen halide e.g. hydrogen chloride to form a solid salt. The alkali metal compound either reacts directly with the hydrogen halide or the alkali metal compound may first thermally decompose prior to such reaction.
Where the alkali metal compound is a sodium compound, e.g., sodium bicarbonate, sodium halide is formed. The resulting alkali metal halide is a solid.
The solid-salt-containing synthesis gas stream then passes to a means for increasing the contact time between the hydrogen halide(s) and the alkali metal compound(s) e.g. a (ceramic candle) filter. Additionally, much of the reaction between the alkali metal compound and the hydrogen halide occurs on the upstream surface of the (ceramic candle) filter. This is because the residence time between the point of alkali metal compound injection and the filter will typically be too short for complete reaction. Extension of the pathway to increase the residence time would be uneconomical.
A cake of salt solids builds up on the surface of the (ceramic candle) filter. For the synthesis gas to get through the cake to exit the filter, it must travel a convoluted pathway through the solids cake. Thus, the contact time between the hydrogen halide(s) and the alkali metal compound(s) or their thermal decomposition products is increased to provide a longer effective residence time without the uneconomical expense of lengthening the piping. The synthesis gas recovered from the (ceramic candle) filter has reduced amounts of hydrogen halides, e.g. hydrogen chloride, and is advantageously substantially free of hydrogen halides, e.g. hydrogen chloride. Advantageously, the synthesis gas is then passed to a third heat recovery zone, to maximize sensible heat recovery before passing the synthesis gas to any wet cleanup units, such as a sulphur removal scrubbing unit. C. Concentrations of Halides, Ratios, and Percent Removal
In the reducing atmosphere and elevated temperatures of the gasifier, a halide such as chloride in the coal evolves into hydrogen chloride. The initial concentrations of hydrogen chloride and other hydrogen halides in the synthesis gas vary widely with the type and source of the feed to the gasifier. Chloride concentrations in coal range from about 0.01% by weight chlorine to about 0.35% by weight chlorine. Other halide concentrations in coal are typically much lower than chloride concentrations.
At least a stoichiometric amount of alkali metal compounds must be mixed with the synthesis gas with respect to the halide concentration in the synthesis gas. Advantageously, one to three times the stoichiometric ratio is used of alkali metal compounds to halides such as chlorides. This assures a high degree of removal of the chlorides. More than about three times the stoichiometric ratio is wasteful of alkali metal compounds and makes the process uneconomical without any apparent benefit.
From about 95% by weight to about 99% by weight of the halides such as chlorides, are removed in the practice of this method. For example, the synthesis gas will initially contain from about 10 ppm by volume (ppmv) to about 1000 ppmv chloride where the feed is coal. After gasification and reaction and solids removal of the metal halides, the concentration of chloride in the synthesis gas is from about 0.1 ppmv to about 5 ppmv. D. Operating Conditions
The gasifier is advantageously an entrained flow gasifier and is operated at gasifying conditions. These conditions are known to an expert and may vary from feed to feed. The temperature is a temperature high enough to gasify a substantial portion of the carbonaceous feed and to prevent the formation of undesirable side- products, such as tars and phenols and other aromatics. Typical temperatures in the gasifier are from about 1100°C to about 2000°C. Where the,feed is coal, the gasifier temperature is advantageously from about 1450°C to about 1575°C. More in particular, the temperature is from about 1475°C to about 1510°C. The pressure of the gasifier is from about 14 bar to about 42 bar. Advantageously, the pressure is from about 21 bar to about 31.5 bar.
At the point of injection of the alkali metal compound the synthesis gas temperature is above the point at which any corrosive ammonium halide compounds, such as ammonium chlorides, will condense. This temperature varies with the type and concentration of halide compound. This is typically at least about 150 °C. The temperature at the point of injection, however, is advantageously not above the condensation point of sodium chloride. This is typically below about 670 °C. This limitation is necessary since sodium chloride must be a solid to be removed by the (ceramic candle) filter. It is not essential, however, that the temperature at the point of injection be above the point of condensation of sodium chloride, so long as the mixture reaches this temperature prior to reaching the upstream surface of the (ceramic candle) filter. Advantageously, the temperature of the synthesis gas stream at the point of alkali metal compound injection is from about 180 °C to about 370 °C, more in particular from about 230 °C to about 260 °C.
Various modifications of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
