摘要:

基于格子Boltzmann方法在表征单元体积(REV)尺度下模拟串列多孔CaO颗粒吸收CO2化学反应过程, 主要研究CaO颗粒孔隙率、颗粒直径、颗粒间排列方式对颗粒转化效率和平均转化率的影响。结果表明: CaO颗粒转化效率随其孔隙率增加呈现先减小再增大的趋势, 这是由于不同的孔隙率导致颗粒初始物质的量和内部气固反应速率不同, 二者竞争进而影响转化效率。另一方面, 颗粒直径越大, 转化效率越低, 粒径50 μm的颗粒比粒径150 μm的颗粒平均转化效率提高了8.4%, 粒径150 μm的颗粒比粒径250 μm的颗粒平均转化效率提高了7.2%。研究颗粒排列方式对平均转化率的影响发现: 当颗粒间水平夹角θ=0°~10°, 由于回流涡的影响使得平均转化率随角度增加不能得到有效提升; 当θ=10°~40°, 后方CaO颗粒逐渐远离回流区, 使得平均转化率随角度增加得到显著提升; 当水平夹角大于40°时, CaO颗粒完全脱离回流区, 此时平均转化率达到最大且不随角度发生变化, 模拟结果可以为CO2捕捉提供一定的参考依据。

Abstract:

Based on the lattice Boltzmann method, the chemical reaction process of CO2 absorption by tandem porous CaO particles is simulated at the scale of Representative Elementary Volume (REV) scale, and the influences of CaO porosity, particle diameter, and inter-particle arrangement of CaO particles on the conversion efficiency and the average conversion rate of particles are mainly investigated. The results show that the conversion efficiency of CaO particles first decreases and then increases with the increase of the porosity, which is attributed to differences in the initial amount of material and the internal gas-solid reaction rate of the particles due to the different porosities, and the competition between them affected the conversion efficiency. On the other hand, the larger the particle diameter, the lower the conversion efficiency. Specifically, the average conversion efficiency of the particles with 50 μm diameter is 8.4% higher than that of particles with 150 μm diameter, and the average conversion efficiency of particles with 150 μm diameter is 7.2% higher than that of the particles with 250 μm diameter. In addition, this work also investigates effect of the arrangement of particles on the average conversion rate. It is found that when the horizontal angle between particles changed from θ=0° to θ=10°, the average conversion rate can not be improved effectively with the increase of the angle due to the effect of the reflux vortex, and the average conversion rate is not improved with the increase of the angle between θ=10° and θ=40°. The average conversion between θ=0° and θ=10° is found not to be effectively improved due to the influence of the reflux vortex. And the average conversion between θ=10° and θ=40° is found to be significantly improved due to the fact that CaO particles at the rear are gradually moving away from the reflux zone, while the average conversion in the interval where the horizontal angle is larger than 40° is found to be maximized due to the fact that the average conversion is not changed with the angle. The simulation results can provide some theoretical guidance for CO2 capture.
