Definitions
- the invention relates to a novel method for obtaining high-quality activated carbon from reeds and / or straw combined with the extraction of methanol and wood vinegar by using the method according to the invention.
- Activated carbon for use in the chemical industry is obtained in large quantities from various organic substances, such as lignite, peat, coconut shells and other biomass.
- Activation by water vapor, CO 2 or other gases, the surface, the pore size and certain chemical properties can be influenced to a certain extent by appropriate process control.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method which is improved compared to the known methods.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a process for producing activated carbon from reeds and / or straw, in which the raw material is degassed in the first substep at a temperature of 180 to 250 ° C. and zeolites are used as catalysts.
- the process according to the invention differs from the known process control in that the temperature range during the first outgassing phase, which begins at approx. 180 ° C, until the outgassing of the volatile components is complete.
- the raw material is mixed with a catalytically active zeolite granulate, which increases the formation of methanol at the expense of the resulting wood vinegar and other components.
- the use of zeolites as catalysts increases the yield of methanol and activated carbon considerably compared to known processes.
- the granules of the catalyst granules are preferably selected so that they are screened out of the raw material and added to the new raw material before leaving the outgassing phase, so that the catalyst can be used again and repeatedly in the process.
- the zeolite granules used as a catalyst preferably have a grain size of up to about 5 to 10 mm.
- the organic raw material and the catalyst material are mixed in a suitable ratio and fed to a rotary kiln in premixed form.
- the suitable ratio depends of course on the respective starting materials, the proportion of catalyst material is generally in the range of up to about 10%.
- the raw material is subjected to a further smoldering process, which begins at 400 ° C and ends at approx. 750 ° C.
- the raw material reaches the level of tar-free charcoal.
- the charcoal is then introduced into the activation zone, where - depending on the silicate content of the raw material - it is converted to activated carbon with CO 2 and / or CO and / or water vapor.
- the C0 2 or CO from the exhaust gas used for heating as well as the water vapor from the fuel cell system are used partly or entirely as activation media.
- Shaft furnaces, fluidized bed furnaces and rotary tube furnaces are used as reactors.
- an activated carbon quality with a surface area of 1100 to 1600 m 2 / g can be achieved, the pore distribution also being achieved in accordance with the specifications. This cannot be achieved with the known method with the raw materials reed and / or straw.
- the methanol (up to 12% of the dry biomass compared to approx. 3% according to the known methods), which can be easily separated and purified from the other components of the carbonization gas by fractional condensation, is used in a preferred embodiment in fuel cells, such as e.g. used by Siemens ("multi-stitch process") to generate electricity. In this way, the electricity requirements of the system can be covered and electricity can still be supplied to the outside world.
- the low-temperature outgassing step increases the yield of activated carbon by up to 15% and reduces the energy requirement by approx. 10%.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the system described in the example for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- the dried and ground raw material with the catalyst granulate is fed via the silo (1) and the rotary valve (2) into the rotary kiln (4) by means of the feed screw (3). This is covered with the coat Hot gas (5) heated, the raw material temperature being kept between 180 and 250 ° C. The volatile components outgas and the catalyst promotes maximum methanol formation.
- the raw material is removed from the rotary kiln (4) by means of lifting blades and sieve drum (6) and the catalyst is separated off and remains in the rotary kiln (4).
- the raw material goes into the high temperature range (7).
- the carbonization gas (13) is drawn off through the hollow axis of the feed screw (3) and brought to the fractionation (14). Here the different components of the carbonization gas are obtained separately.
- the volatile part is burned together with the exhaust gases (17, 18).
- the hot gas (5) is used to heat the rotary kilns (4,7) via their jacket.
- the exhaust gas (17) goes through the de-targing (17a) beforehand. The combustion takes place in the burner (19).
- the charcoal from the high-temperature area (7) is fed to the rotary kiln (9) for activation by means of a feed screw (8).
- the heating takes place electrically (10), whereby the charcoal is heated to approx. 1000 ° C. C0 2 (16), the exhaust gas used (16) from the burner (19), and steam (20), the exhaust steam from the fuel cell (15) are used as activation media.
- the finished activated carbon (12) is cooled in a cooler (11) and fed to the final processing.
- the methanol from the fractionation (14) is fed to the fuel cell (15) and this supplies the electricity for operating the plant.
- the surplus goes on the net.
