基于反应分子动力学低阶烟煤热解反应及机理研究

Study on pyrolysis reaction and mechanism of low-rank bituminous coal based on reactive molecular dynamics

  • 摘要: 煤热解工艺不仅能够实现煤炭资源的清洁高效利用,其产物还能够缓解当前化石能源的供需矛盾。为探究低阶烟煤热解产物规律及反应过程阶段,应用分子并行模拟器模拟煤的热解过程,利用ReaxFF反应分子动力学方法,模拟不同热解温度和不同升温速率条件,研究低阶烟煤的热解特性,分析煤热解反应机理。研究发现,在2 300 K温度点前后,半焦、焦油产率及元素占比发生显著变化;典型热解气反应路径发生改变:水分子的生成在低温阶段与羟基相关、高温阶段与羧基相关,CO2主要来自羧基脱落,C2H2和C2H4仅在高温下生成,表明此温度点是等温热解反应机理的转变点。在2 300 K温度前,最初以煤分子结构中的醚键断裂、含氧官能团侧链脱落为主,随后环烷烃开环,煤分子分解,但此过程中与芳香结构相连的基团及侧链不发生脱落;在2 300 K温度后,反应初期煤分子结构快速分解,焦油主要发生二次反应,半焦因芳香结构缩聚产量增加。升温速率对热解产物影响较大,高升温速率会增大半焦分子量,同时降低焦油和热解气产量;升温速率越高,生成产物时所需的温度越高,不利于煤热解反应发生;高升温速率还会导致分子内能量快速积聚,芳香结构迅速缩聚成半焦,侧链与官能团断裂变得无序。

     

    Abstract: Coal pyrolysis technology can not only achieve the clean and efficient utilization of coal resources, but its products can also alleviate the current supply and demand contradiction of fossil energy. In order to explore the pyrolysis product rules and reaction mechanism of low-rank bituminous coal, a molecular parallel simulator was used to simulate the coal pyrolysis process. The ReaxFF reactive molecular dynamics method was adopted to simulate different pyrolysis temperatures and heating rates, study the pyrolysis characteristics of low-rank bituminous coal, and analyze the coal pyrolysis reaction mechanism. The study found that around the temperature point of 2300 K, significant changes occurred in the yield and elemental proportion of semi-coke and tar; the reaction paths of typical pyrolysis gases changed: the formation of water molecules was related to hydroxyl groups at low temperatures and carboxyl groups at high temperatures, CO2 mainly came from the detachment of carboxyl groups, and C2H2 and C2H4 were only generated at high temperatures, indicating that this temperature point is the transformation point of the isothermal pyrolysis reaction mechanism. Before 2300 K, the initial stage was dominated by the breaking of ether bonds in the coal molecular structure and the detachment of oxygen-containing functional group side chains, followed by the ring opening of naphthenes and the decomposition of coal molecules, but during this process, the groups and side chains connected to the aromatic structure did not detach; after 2300 K, the coal molecular structure decomposed rapidly in the initial stage of the reaction, the tar mainly underwent secondary reactions, and the yield of semi-coke increased due to the polycondensation of aromatic structures. The heating rate had a great influence on the pyrolysis products: a high heating rate would increase the molecular weight of semi-coke, while reducing the yields of tar and pyrolysis gas; the higher the heating rate, the higher the temperature required for product formation, which was not conducive to the occurrence of coal pyrolysis reactions; a high heating rate would also lead to the rapid accumulation of intramolecular energy, the rapid polycondensation of aromatic structures into semi-coke, and the disorder of the breaking rules of side chains and functional groups.
