Integrating combined cycle with supercritical water gasification of coal, the thermodynamic energy of the produced syngas is cascade utilized according to its temperature and pressure, both sensible and latent heat of the syngas can be recycled into the system, and thereby the net power efficiency can be about 6.4 percentage points higher than that of the traditional GE gasification based power plant(GEPP). The exergy analysis results show that the exergy efficiency of the proposed system reaches 52.45%, which is 13.94% higher than that of the GEPP, and the improvement in exergy efficiency of the proposed system mainly comes from the exergy destruction decline in the syngas energy recovery process, the condensation process and the syngas purification process. The syngas combustion process is the highest exergy destruction process with a value of 157.84 MW in the proposed system. Further performance improvement of the proposed system lies in the utilization process of syngas. Furthermore, system operation parameters have been examined on the coal mass fraction in the supercritical water gasifier(GF), the gasification temperature, and the gasification pressure. The parametric analysis shows that changes in coal concentration in the GF exert more influence on the exergy efficiency of the system compared with the other two parameters.展开更多

文摘A new cleaner power generation system(IPGS) is proposed and investigated in this paper. Integrating combined cycle with supercritical water gasification of coal, the thermodynamic energy of the produced syngas is cascade utilized according to its temperature and pressure, both sensible and latent heat of the syngas can be recycled into the system, and thereby the net power efficiency can be about 6.4 percentage points higher than that of the traditional GE gasification based power plant(GEPP). The exergy analysis results show that the exergy efficiency of the proposed system reaches 52.45%, which is 13.94% higher than that of the GEPP, and the improvement in exergy efficiency of the proposed system mainly comes from the exergy destruction decline in the syngas energy recovery process, the condensation process and the syngas purification process. The syngas combustion process is the highest exergy destruction process with a value of 157.84 MW in the proposed system. Further performance improvement of the proposed system lies in the utilization process of syngas. Furthermore, system operation parameters have been examined on the coal mass fraction in the supercritical water gasifier(GF), the gasification temperature, and the gasification pressure. The parametric analysis shows that changes in coal concentration in the GF exert more influence on the exergy efficiency of the system compared with the other two parameters.

文摘The coal partial gasification process produces a large number of chars.They have similar combustion characteristics to anthracite and can be utilized as a material manufacturing clean briquette to replace residential coal to achieve clean combustion.Moreover,the coal partial gasification produced more tar at relatively low temperature,which can be applied as naphtha or diesel after purification and hydrogenation.Herein,experiments of coal partial gasification coproducing char,tar,and gas are carried out on a bench-scale fluidized bed reactor during the temperature range of 625–762℃.The effect of equivalence ratio on the characteristics of coal partial gasification products is studied.The results show that the equivalence ratio increasing from 0.06 to 0.13 leads to a higher partial gasification temperature and lower char yield,and tar yield reaches a maximum value and the lower calorific value of gas reaches as high as 6.14 MJ/m^(3).When the gasification temperature is lower than 643℃,the increase in temperature promotes the generation of oxygen-containing functional groups and aromatic compounds in coal particles,and the microstructures of char become more disordered.The combustion stability of char is getting worse,whereas the pore structures in char become abundant at high temperatures.From the analysis of the tar chromatography column,it is observed that asphaltene and non-hydrocarbon account for 77%–88%of the total amount of tar.
