上吸式气化炉中生物质与聚乙烯共气化可有效提高气化合成气的产气热值与H2产率,但在共气化过程中含氮污染物的生成与排放特性尚不清晰,有待进一步研究。因此,基于颗粒动理学理论和欧拉-欧拉方法构建了上吸式气化炉中气固流动与化学反应耦合的二维数理模型,探究了空气当量比(ER)、生物质与聚乙烯混合比和水蒸气与燃料比例(S/F)对含氮污染物生成的影响规律。结果表明,在生物质与聚乙烯共气化中,NH3和HCN主要来自生物质挥发分的热解反应,主要分布于气化炉的热解区与干燥区。NO主要来自焦炭的燃烧与气化反应,其含量在氧化区最高,但随后会与焦炭、CO和H2等气体的还原反应而降低。随着空气当量比的增加,NO的含量由5.17ppmv(百万分之一的体积比,下同)逐渐增加为50.10ppmv,而其他含氮污染物如N2O、NH3和HCN的含量则下降;增加水蒸气与燃料的比例可以导致NO含量由33.74ppmv降低到0.95ppmv,但会促进N2O的生成。此外,聚乙烯的加入可有效降低生物质气化过程中含氮污染物的生成,并且共气化过程中生物质与聚乙烯之间的协同作用会进一步抑制含氮污染物NO、NH3和HCN的生成。

The co-gasification of biomass and polyethylene in an updraft gasifier can effectivelyincrease the calorific value of the syngas and the H yield. However, the generation and emissioncharacteristics of nitrogen-containing pollutants during the co-gasification process have not yet beenfully understood. Therefore, this study constructed a two-dimensional mathematical model of gas-solidEnergy Environmental Protectionflow coupling with chemical reaction in updraft gasifier based on the particle dynamics theory andEuler-Euler method, and investigated the effects of air equivalence ratio (ER), the blending ratio ofbiomass and polyethylene, and steam-to-fuel ratio (S/F) on the generation characteristics of nitrogen-containing pollutants. The results showed that NH and HCN mainly came from the pyrolysis ofbiomass volatiles during the co-gasification process of biomass and polyethylene, and therefore theywere mainly distributed in the pyrolysis zone and dry zone of the updraft gasifier. The generation of NOmainly came from the combustion and gasification reaction of char, and thus the oxidation zone had thehighest NO content. NO then reacted with char, CO and H, leading to the decrease of its content. Withthe increase of air equivalent ratio, the content of NO gradually increased from 5.17 ppmv to 50.1ppmv, while the content of other nitrogen pollutants such as NO, NH and HCN decreased. Increasingthe moisture vapor to fuel ratio reduced NO content from 33.74 ppmv to 0.95 ppmv, but promoted thegeneration of NO. The introduction of polyethylene could effectively reduce the generation ofnitrogen-containing pollutants during biomass gasification, and the synergistic effect between biomassand polyethylene during co-gasification process could further inhibit the generation of nitrogen-containing pollutants such as NO, NH and HCN.
