煤矿超低浓度瓦斯近零排放技术前沿与路径展望

Frontiers and pathways for near-zero-emission technologies of ultra-low-concentration coal mine methane

  • 摘要: 在“双碳”目标深入推进与全球强化甲烷管控的背景下,实现煤矿甲烷近零排放已成为我国能源行业绿色转型的紧迫任务。当前,占煤矿甲烷排放总量绝大部分、体积分数低于0.3%的超低浓度风排瓦斯,因甲烷浓度过低、氧化反应释放的热量难以维持系统自持运行,其规模化高效利用技术仍是国际性难题。为系统突破超低浓度瓦斯安全高效转化与规模化利用的技术瓶颈,梳理了近15 a煤矿瓦斯利用技术的发展脉络,重点剖析了蓄热氧化技术在处置超低浓度瓦斯方面的现状与局限性,并聚焦提升甲烷转化率、降低系统自热平衡浓度等核心问题,系统提出了掺混固体燃料补热、催化氧化、水煤浆合成气补热及介电电泳力富集4种突破性技术路径,阐述了各路径的作用机制、关键参数与经济性特征。结果表明:掺混微米级煤粉可有效提升系统温度与甲烷转化率,但需防控积灰与通道堵塞;非贵金属催化剂经Sr等元素掺杂改性后起燃温度显著降低,但其催化活性仍需优化;水煤浆合成气补热技术兼具高效补能与清洁运行优势,工程适用性强。介电电泳力富集技术为超低浓度瓦斯物理提浓提供了新思路。在此基础上,构建了面向“双碳”目标的煤矿瓦斯全浓度分级利用与减排系统技术路径图,阐明需依靠“提浓、补热、催化、系统优化”多维度协同创新,将瓦斯氧化技术适用浓度下限进一步下探延伸,从而推动实现煤矿瓦斯“全浓度、规模化、高值化”利用,为我国煤矿甲烷减排与能源结构转型提供关键技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: Against the backdrop of the deepening “dual carbon” goals and global strengthening of methane control, achieving near-zero emissions of coal mine methane has become an urgent task for the green transition of China’s energy industry. Currently, ultra-low-concentration ventilation air methane, which accounts for the vast majority of total coal mine methane emissions and has a concentration below 0.3%, remains an international technological challenge for large-scale, efficient utilization because of its excessively low methane concentration and the fact that the heat released from oxidation is insufficient to sustain autothermal operation of the system. To systematically break through the technical barriers to the safe, efficient conversion, and large-scale utilization of ultra-low-concentration gas, a comprehensive review is conducted on the technological developments in coal mine methane utilization over the past 15 years. It focuses on analyzing the current status and limitations of regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) technology in handling ultra-low-concentration gas and addresses core issues such as improving methane conversion efficiency and reducing the system’s autothermal balance concentration. Four breakthrough technological pathways are systematically proposed: solid-fuel blending for heat supplementation, catalytic oxidation, coal-water slurry syngas heat supplementation, and dielectrophoretic enrichment. The mechanisms, key parameters, and economic characteristics of each pathway are elucidated. The results indicate that blending micron-sized coal powder can effectively increase system temperature and methane conversion rate, but requires prevention of ash deposition and channel blockage; the ignition temperature of non-noble metal catalysts decreases significantly after doping with elements such as Sr, though their catalytic activity still requires optimization; coal-water slurry syngas supplementation offers advantages of efficient heat compensation and clean operation, demonstrating strong engineering applicability; dielectrophoretic enrichment provides a novel approach for the physical concentration of ultra-low-concentration gas. Building on this, a systematic technology roadmap is constructed for the full-concentration hierarchical utilization and emission reduction of coal mine methane under the “dual carbon” goals. It clarifies that multi-dimensional collaborative innovation encompassing “concentration enhancement, heat supplementation, catalysis, and system optimization” is required to extend the applicable lower concentration limit of gas oxidation technology to the realm of ventilation air methane. This will promote the realization of “full-concentration, large-scale, high-value” utilization of coal mine methane, providing crucial technical support for methane emission reduction and energy structure transition in China’s coal mining sector.
