    煤炭地下气化系统的催化剂注入工艺

    Catalyst injection process for underground coal gasification system

    • 摘要: 煤炭地下气化技术实现了煤炭的清洁开采,有效补充了我国天然气供应。在煤炭地下气化反应中添加催化剂,可提高气化效率、碳转化率及煤气品质。但由于气化过程发生在地下,催化剂的高效注入和井下输送是需要解决的关键技术问题。采用Ansys Fluent软件,模拟催化剂通过注入井注入的气固/液固两相流动过程,研究介质类型、催化剂颗粒直径、入口颗粒浓度、入口速度和管道流动截面积对注入效果的影响,从而探索合适的催化剂注入工艺。模拟结果表明:在输送介质与颗粒特性方面,催化剂粒径和入口浓度越小,介质对颗粒的携带能力越强,同时纯水比氧气对催化剂颗粒的携带能力更强。管道结构与工况方面,在相同流动及颗粒条件下,增大管道截面可提高注入效率;降低入口速度可减少颗粒在管道转折点处的离心力,进而提高催化剂流出效率。工艺阈值方面,为保证催化剂的成功注入,氧气为介质时催化剂颗粒的直径不应超过0.43 µm,纯水为介质时催化剂颗粒的直径不应超过1.30 µm。该研究结果明确了催化剂注入的关键工艺参数,为煤炭地下催化气化工艺的应用提供了理论依据和技术参考。

       

      Abstract: Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a pivotal technology for clean coal utilization and supplementing natural gas supplies. While catalysts significantly enhance gasification efficiency and syngas quality, their effective delivery into deep underground reaction zones remains a technical challenge. To explore the appropriate catalyst injection process, Ansys Fluent was adopted to simulate the multiphase flow characteristics of catalyst injection, analyzing the effects of transport media, particle diameter, inlet particle concentration, inlet velocity, and pipe cross-sectional area. The simulation results indicate that: Regarding transport media and particle characteristics, smaller particle diameters and concentrations enhance the carrying capacity, with pure water demonstrating superior carrying performance compared to oxygen. In terms of pipe structure and operating conditions, increasing the pipe cross-sectional area enhances injection efficiency, while reducing inlet velocity mitigates centrifugal forces on particles at pipe bends, thereby improving outflow efficiency. To ensure successful injection, the particle diameter should not exceed 0.43 µm when using oxygen as the medium, and 1.3 µm when using pure water. These findings provide theoretical guidance and optimized parameters for the engineering application of catalytic UCG.
