在全球能源转型的浪潮中,清洁能源的开发与利用成为焦点。沼气作为一种可再生能源,其主要成分是甲烷,同时含有二氧化碳、硫化氢等杂质。未经提纯的沼气因杂质影响,燃烧效率低、腐蚀性强,限制了其大规模应用。沼气提纯技术的出现,犹如一把钥匙,解锁了沼气作为优质清洁能源的潜力,在能源领域掀起了一场绿色变革。
In the wave of global energy transition, the development and utilization of clean energy have become the focus. Biogas, as a renewable energy source, is mainly composed of methane and contains impurities such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Unprocessed biogas has low combustion efficiency and strong corrosiveness due to impurities, which limits its large-scale application. The emergence of biogas purification technology is like a key, unlocking the potential of biogas as a high-quality clean energy source and triggering a green revolution in the energy field.
沼气成分剖析:复杂多元的气体混合
Analysis of Biogas Components: Complex and Multivariate Gas Mixtures
沼气是有机物质在厌氧环境下,通过微生物发酵作用产生的一种可燃性气体。其成分复杂多样,甲烷(CH₄)含量通常在 50% - 70% 之间,是沼气的主要可燃成分,决定了沼气的能源价值。二氧化碳(CO₂)含量约为 30% - 50%,它的存在降低了沼气中甲烷的浓度,进而影响沼气的热值。此外,沼气中还含有少量的硫化氢(H₂S),其含量一般在几百 ppm 到数千 ppm 不等。硫化氢具有腐蚀性和毒性,不仅会腐蚀管道、设备,还会在燃烧过程中产生二氧化硫等有害气体,污染环境。除了这些主要成分,沼气中还可能含有少量的氮气(N₂)、氧气(O₂)、水蒸气(H₂O)以及一些挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)。这些杂质的存在,使得沼气在直接使用时面临诸多问题,因此沼气提纯成为提升其品质和利用价值的关键步骤。
Biogas is a combustible gas produced by microbial fermentation of organic matter in anaerobic environments. Its composition is complex and diverse, with methane (CH4) content typically ranging from 50% to 70%. It is the main combustible component of biogas and determines its energy value. The content of carbon dioxide (CO ₂) is about 30% -50%, and its presence reduces the concentration of methane in biogas, thereby affecting the calorific value of biogas. In addition, biogas also contains a small amount of hydrogen sulfide (H ₂ S), whose content generally ranges from several hundred ppm to several thousand ppm. Hydrogen sulfide is corrosive and toxic, not only corroding pipelines and equipment, but also producing harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide during combustion, polluting the environment. In addition to these main components, biogas may also contain small amounts of nitrogen (N ₂), oxygen (O ₂), water vapor (H ₂ O), and some volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The presence of these impurities poses many problems for the direct use of biogas, making biogas purification a key step in improving its quality and utilization value.
提纯原理:针对性去除杂质提升品质
Purification principle: Targeted removal of impurities to improve quality
沼气提纯的核心原理是利用不同气体在物理或化学性质上的差异,有针对性地去除沼气中的杂质,提高甲烷浓度。对于二氧化碳的去除,主要基于其与甲烷在溶解性、吸附性等方面的不同。在物理吸收法中,利用二氧化碳在特定溶剂中的溶解度大于甲烷的特性,通过将沼气通入吸收塔,使二氧化碳溶解在溶剂中,从而实现与甲烷的分离。例如,采用甲醇作为吸收剂,在低温高压条件下,二氧化碳能大量溶解于甲醇,而甲烷则几乎不溶。在化学吸收法中,利用二氧化碳与某些化学试剂发生化学反应的性质来实现分离。如采用醇胺类溶液,二氧化碳会与醇胺发生可逆反应,生成氨基甲酸盐,从而从沼气中被脱除。
The core principle of biogas purification is to use the differences in physical or chemical properties of different gases to selectively remove impurities from biogas and increase methane concentration. The removal of carbon dioxide is mainly based on its differences in solubility, adsorption, and other aspects compared to methane. In the physical absorption method, the solubility of carbon dioxide in a specific solvent is greater than that of methane. By introducing biogas into an absorption tower, carbon dioxide is dissolved in the solvent, thereby achieving separation from methane. For example, using methanol as an absorbent, carbon dioxide can dissolve significantly in methanol under low temperature and high pressure conditions, while methane is almost insoluble. In the chemical absorption method, separation is achieved by utilizing the property of carbon dioxide reacting chemically with certain chemical reagents. If an alcohol amine solution is used, carbon dioxide will undergo a reversible reaction with the alcohol amine to generate amino formate, which will be removed from biogas.
硫化氢的去除则主要利用其还原性和酸性。在干法脱硫中,常用的脱硫剂如氧化铁,硫化氢与氧化铁发生化学反应,生成硫化铁和水,从而将硫化氢从沼气中去除。在湿法脱硫中,利用碱性溶液与硫化氢发生中和反应,或者利用强氧化剂将硫化氢氧化为单质硫,实现脱硫目的。对于水蒸气,由于其在低温下容易凝结,通过冷却沼气,使水蒸气冷凝成液态水,从而从沼气中分离出去。对于其他杂质,如氮气、氧气和挥发性有机化合物等,可根据其物理化学性质,采用吸附、膜分离等技术进行去除,最终得到高纯度的甲烷气体。
The removal of hydrogen sulfide mainly relies on its reducibility and acidity. In dry desulfurization, commonly used desulfurizers such as iron oxide and hydrogen sulfide react chemically with iron oxide to produce iron sulfide and water, thereby removing hydrogen sulfide from biogas. In wet desulfurization, alkaline solution is used to neutralize hydrogen sulfide, or strong oxidizing agents are used to oxidize hydrogen sulfide into elemental sulfur, achieving the purpose of desulfurization. For water vapor, due to its tendency to condense at low temperatures, cooling biogas can condense it into liquid water, thereby separating it from biogas. For other impurities such as nitrogen, oxygen, and volatile organic compounds, adsorption, membrane separation, and other techniques can be used to remove them based on their physical and chemical properties, ultimately obtaining high-purity methane gas.
