  • Patent number: 10221360
    Abstract: A method for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, the method including: 1) gasifying a raw material to obtain a crude syngas including H2, CO and CO2; 2) electrolyzing a saturated NaCl solution using a chloralkali process to obtain a NaOH solution, Cl2 and H2; 3) removing the CO2 in the crude syngas using the NaOH solution obtained in 2) to obtain a pure syngas; and 4) insufflating the H2 obtained in 2) to the pure syngas to adjust a mole ratio of CO/H2 in the pure syngas, and then introducing the pure syngas for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. A device for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis includes a gasification device, an electrolyzer, a first gas washing device, and a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor.

  • Publication number: 20180009663
    Abstract: A method for drying a catalytic oxidation furnace, the method including: 1) charging a feed gas including oxygen and natural gas, and a temperature control gas to a catalytic oxidation furnace loaded with a catalyst; 2) preheating a mixed gas including the feed gas and the temperature control gas to increase the temperature of the mixed gas, and stopping the preheating when the temperature of the mixed gas achieves a temperature adapted to trigger the oxidation reaction of the mixed gas; and 3) within the molar ratio of the temperature control gas to the feed gas being 0.1-7:1.3-1.6, reducing the molar ratio of the temperature control gas to the feed gas such that the rise of the temperature of the mixed gas conforms to the temperature rising rate of the drying-out curve of a heat insulation refractory material of the catalytic oxidation furnace.

  • Patent number: 9290383
    Abstract: A method for recycling exhaust gas from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The method includes: 1) introducing raw gas to a shift reactor to conduct a water-gas shift reaction, and collecting shift gas; 2) introducing the shift gas to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device to yield a hydrocarbon fuel and exhaust gas, returning part of the exhaust gas as recycle gas; 3) introducing another part of the exhaust gas to a methanation reactor, allowing a methanation reaction to happen between the part of the exhaust gas and water vapor; 4) introducing a mixed gas product from the methanation reaction to a methane reforming reactor; 5) transporting the hydrogen and carbon monoxide resulting from the methane reforming reaction to a gas separator, separating the hydrogen and obtaining a mixed gas including carbon dioxide; and 6) returning the mixed gas including carbon dioxide to the methane reforming reactor.

  • Patent number: 9255225
    Abstract: A method for preparing a liquid hydrocarbon from syngas. The method includes: 1) mixing crude syngas from a biomass gasifier and a hydrogen-rich gas to yield a mixed gas; 2) dehydrating and decarbonizing the mixed gas for removal of moisture, carbon dioxide, and impurities, to yield a fine syngas; 3) introducing the fine syngas to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device in the presence of a catalyst, controlling a reaction temperature of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis at between 150 and 300° C. and a reaction pressure of between 2 and 4 MPa (A), to yield a liquid hydrocarbon and water which is discharged out of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device; and 4) returning 70-95 vol. % of exhaust gases from the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device to step 3) to mix with the fine syngas, and introducing the resulting mixed gas to the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device.
