Utilization and prospects of coke oven gas
Thread Content
After recovery from coke oven gasification, it is generally used as city gas, aside from its use within the coke ovens themselves. The current development direction is to convert it into methanol and syngas for ammonia synthesis ； Some generate electricity directly through gas turbines ； I wonder which of the two forms is more efficient and cost-effective under the current economic conditions? Are there any other methods of further processing? Please feel free to give your advice!
Coke oven gas can be used in part by steel mills for their own needs, as well as for civilian use; the former Beijing Coking Plant was responsible for supplying gas to the Beijing area. There are currently many gas-to-methanol projects under development; this sector seems to offer better economic benefits than power generation
Gas-to-methanol is quite promising
Coke oven gas is used to separate hydrogen through pressure swing adsorption, deep cooling, and membrane separation!
The development of desulfurization technology is key to the utilization of coke oven gas
Coke oven gas contains a significant amount of methane, which should be converted. Is there any catalytic conversion available? The operating temperature is around 1300 degrees
Currently, methanol is mostly produced from coal gas, as generating electricity from coal gas produces too much noise.
I think synthetic ammonia is also a direction for development
