ReaxFF模拟加压富氧燃烧过程中CO2/H2O气氛对焦炭转化的影响

ReaxFF simulation of the effect of CO2/H2O atmosphere on char conversion during pressurized oxy-fuel combustion process

  • 摘要: 加压富氧燃烧技术作为未来燃煤电厂CO2捕集的主要方向之一,近年来受到学界的广泛研究,其中,循环烟气含H2O的湿循环加压富氧燃烧过程被认为有更好的经济性。采用反应分子动力学方法(ReaxFF MD)研究了4~10 MPa压力内,CO2/H2O气氛对焦炭片段加压富氧燃烧的影响。通过原子标记法定量计算了氧化反应、CO2气化反应与H2O气化反应对焦炭转化的贡献,探究了压力与CO2/H2O气氛对焦炭转化的作用机制。结果表明:在焦炭/O2/CO2/H2O混合体系燃烧条件下,H2O的增加抑制了焦炭转化,在较低压力下,H2O约使碳转化率降低10%,在较高压力下,H2O约使碳转化率降低1%;CO2的增加促进了焦炭转化,在所研究压力范围内,CO2约使碳转化率提高了6%~9%。焦炭的整体碳转化率随压力的升高而增加2%~14%,提升幅度随着H2O的增加、CO2的减少而增加,加压使气化反应对焦炭消耗的贡献提高,却降低了氧化反应贡献,该现象在30%-CO2气氛下最明显,随着压力的升高,碳转化率提升14%,氧化反应贡献率降低3%,气化反应贡献率提升17%。氧化反应、CO2气化反应与H2O气化反应三者之间存在竞争关系,在4 MPa,40%-H2O/60%-CO2条件下,随着H2O体积分数的提高,氧化反应贡献降低了22.4%,CO2气化反应贡献降低了5.5%;随着CO2体积分数的提高,氧化反应贡献降低了10%,H2O气化反应贡献降低了12%,氧化反应与气化反应的竞争体现在气化产物与焦炭对O2的竞争上,气化反应之间的竞争体现在对活性位点的竞争上。

     

    Abstract: Pressurized oxy-fuel combustion technology, regarded as one of the main directions for CO2 capture in coal-fired power plants in the future, has been widely studied by academics in recent years. Among these studies, the wet-cycle pressurized oxy-fuel combustion process, in which the recirculating flue gas contains H2O, has been considered to have better economic potential. The effect of a CO2/H2O atmosphere on the pressurized oxy-fuel combustion of char fragments in the pressure range of 4-10 MPa was investigated using reactive molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MD). The contributions of oxidation, CO2 gasification, and H2O gasification to char conversion were quantified through an atomic labeling method, and the mechanisms by which pressure and the CO2/H2O atmosphere influence char conversion were explored. It was shown that the increase in H2O inhibited char conversion, resulting in a decrease in carbon conversion by approximately 10% at lower pressures and 1% at higher pressures, while the increase in CO2 facilitated char conversion, leading to an increase in carbon conversion by approximately 6%-9% with CO2 across the range of pressures studied under the combustion conditions of the mixed char/O2/CO2/H2O system. The carbon conversion of char was found to increase by 2%-14% with increasing pressure, with the enhancement becoming more pronounced with increasing H2O and decreasing CO2. It was observed that pressurization increased the contribution of gasification to char consumption but decreased the contribution of oxidation. This phenomenon was most pronounced in the 30%-CO2 atmosphere, where carbon conversion was enhanced by 14% and the contribution of oxidation was decreased by 3% with increasing pressure, while the contribution of gasification was elevated by 17%. A competitive relationship was identified between oxidation, CO2 gasification, and H2O gasification. At 4 MPa and 40%-H2O/60%-CO2, as H2O concentration increased, the contribution of oxidation decreased by 22.4%, and the contribution of CO2 gasification decreased by 5.5%. Conversely, as CO2 concentration increased, the contribution of oxidation decreased by 10%, and the contribution of H2O gasification decreased by 12%. The competition between oxidation and gasification was reflected in the competition between gasification products and char for O2, while the competition among gasifications was reflected in the competition for active sites.
