    METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING A SIDE WATER FRACTION
    20176100 prh 11-12-2017
    FIELD
    The application relates to a method defined in claim 1 and an apparatus defined in claim 14 for treating a side water fraction. Further, the application relates to a use of the method defined in claim 16.
    BACKGROUND
    Known from the prior art is to convert biomass to biofuels by thermochemical routes such as by a gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction. Also 15 different side fractions form in these processes.
    Further, known from the prior art is to treat different feedstocks comprising organic compounds in an aqueous-phase reforming (APR) process. Further, it is known that different catalysts can be used in this 20 process.
    The aqueous-phase reforming (APR), such as operating conditions, catalysts and reactor designs, have been studied in the art. For instance, different feedstocks, temperatures, pressures and space veloci25 ties have been tested for APR over numerous catalysts, mainly platinum- and nickel-based in form of particles. These catalysts have been prepared with different supports and metal dopants to enhance the performance of the catalysts. However, product selectivity 30 and durability of the catalysts are questionable. Furthermore, few reactor designs have been tested for APR, with a predominant use of tubular packed-bed reactors. Recently, intensified reactors have been considered to improve mass transport in APR, and conse35 quently, increase the product efficiency. Although platinum-washcoated microchannels and membrane reac tors enhance the performance, catalyst loading and replacement are significant barriers for scale up applications. Further, noble metal-based catalysts are expensive and economically inefficient in large scales.

    based streams with harmful organic compounds can be treated effectively. High conversion rates and hydrogen selectivity can be obtained when the reforming treatment, such as the aqueous-phase reforming, is catalyzed with Ni/NiAl2O4 catalyst. The performance of this catalyst is remarkably superior compared to nickel-based catalysts in a packed-bed tubular reactor. The improvement derives from the high activity of the catalyst and the reduction of the internal mass transfer limitations. Further, this catalyst represents a much less expensive alternative to the traditionally used platinum-based catalysts.

The present invention provides an industrially applicable, simple and affordable way to treat the water based streams.

The method and apparatus are easy and simple to realize in connection with production processes of biofuels, also in a small scale process.

    EXAMPLES
    Example 1
    Figure 1 presents the method and also the apparatus for treating a side water fraction (1) derived from a biorefinery.
    The side water fraction (1) has been formed in a thermochemical treatment of lignocellulosic based biomass. The lignocellulosic based biomass can be treated by converting into the biofuels by means of the thermochemical routes such as by a gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction of syngas or other feedstock, or by a pyrolysis and bio-oil reforming. The side water fraction (1) has been formed in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction or in the bio-oil refining.
    The side water fraction (1) comprises at least one undesired organic compound. The side water fraction (1) may comprise 1 - 40 % by volume organic compounds. The apparatus comprises at least one reforming treatment device (12), in this embodiment an aqueous-phase reforming (APR) reactor, in which the side water fraction (1) is treated by a reforming treatment (2) in order to convert the organic compound into at least hydrogen (5) and optionally also other compounds (6), such as organic compounds, hydrocarbons, carbondioxide and/or carbonmonoxide. Further, the method and apparatus comprise Ni/NiAl2O4 catalyst (3), preferably Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst, which is arranged inside the reforming treatment device (12) for catalyzing the reforming treatment (2) . Preferably, the aqueous-phase reforming can be carried 5 out at temperature of 200 - 250 °C and under pressure of 30 - 34 bar.
    The Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst (3) is arranged in the form of a film, preferably a thin layer, onto a substrate, such as a metal substrate or a 10 ceramic substrate. Preferably the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst (3) is prepared in a catalyst preparing stage (4). The Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst can be formed such that a Ni-precursor, e.g. nickel nitrate, is impregnated by an incipient wetness 15 impregnation method to a boehmite carrier material to form a catalytic material. The resulting catalytic ma20 terial example nickel in form of powder is dried and calcined, for nickel nitrate/boehmite into to transform oxide/boehmite.

The slurry is arranged by washcoating onto a metal or ceramic substrate, and the washcoated substrate is thermally treated, e.g. by means 25 of drying, calcination and treatment by reduction.
    Then a thin layer of Ni/NiAl2O4 can be formed onto the substrate. Preferably, Ni content of the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst is 10 - 16 wt%.
    The hydrogen (5) may be recirculated and fed 30 back to the thermochemical treatment, e.g. to the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) unit or to the bio-oil refining unit, to adjust H2/CO ratio or to improve hydrotreatment of pyrolysis oils.
    20176100 prh 11-12-2017
    Example 2
    The aqueous-phase reforming (APR) was studied with different catalysts in a laboratory scale process. The main problems of the APR were mass transfer 5 limitations, and the low activity and stability of the catalysts. Both external and internal mass transfers were limited in a 3-phase system of the APR, with solid catalyst, liquid feedstock and gaseous products. This limitation negatively affected the conversion of 10 reactants and the selectivity towards desired products. Further, catalysts with low activity, such as typical, previous known Ni-based and Ce-promoted catalysts, decreased the conversion and selectivity. Platinum-based catalysts commonly exhibit good performance 15 in terms of activity. However, the noble metal-based catalysts are expensive and economically inefficient in large scales. Furthermore, low stability results in catalyst deactivation by sintering or leaching of the active metal due to, for example, the nature of the 20 feedstock or the hydrothermal, high pressure operating conditions. APR feedstocks are frequently a highly diluted mixture of organic compounds, which exact composition is frequently unknown. Therefore, to design an active, selective and stable catalyst to convert such 25 mixture constitutes a challenging task.
    The different catalysts were studied in the APR process in which the feedstock comprised methanol. Surprisingly, Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst was found to overcome these problems. The mass transfer 30 limitations can be decreased by means of the inexpensive and durable Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst which actively and selectively converts the feedstock into targeted products in the operating conditions of the APR process.
    Example 3
    In this example, a side water fraction formed from lignocellulosic biomass in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor was treated with the catalyst in the aqueousphase reforming (APR) reactor according to the process of Fig. 1. The results are presented in Fig. 2.
    The aqueous-phase reforming (APR) was carried out at about 230 °C under pressure of about 32 bar. The feedstock of the APR was an aqueous solution, formed from the side water fraction, with 5 wt% organic compounds, especially MeOH. The treatment was carried out with the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst in the aqueous-phase reforming (APR) reactor. Further, the treatment was carried out with two comparative catalysts, NiAl-catalyst and NiCeAl-catalyst, in the aqueous-phase reforming (APR) reactor. The Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst comprised about 10 - 13 wt% Ni. NiAl-catalyst and NiCeAl-catalyst comprised about 10 - 13 wt% Ni on /-A12O3 support. Further, NiCeAlcatalyst was Ce-promoted.
    The results are presented in Fig. 2. Y (%) means yield. CtG is calculated as total mol of carboncontaining gaseous products divided by the mol of carbon-containing compounds in the feeding solution.
    It was observed surprisingly that the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst was more highly active in the aqueous phase reforming (APR) when compared to the comparative catalysts. The performance of the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst was remarkably superior compared to nickel-based catalysts. High conversion rates and hydrogen selectivity could be obtained when the aqueous-phase reforming was catalyzed with the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst. The improvement derives from the high activity of the cata lyst and the reduction of the internal mass transfer limitations in the thin layer of the washcoat.
    Example 4
    In this example, the Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst with 13 wt% Ni content was prepared. This catalyst was used in the tests of Example 3.
    Ni-metal precursor such as nickel nitrate was impregnated by means of an incipient wetness impregnation into a boehmite carrier material in a powder form in order to form a catalytic material. The catalytic material in a powder form was dried by means of a vacuum drying and calcinated at 500 °C to convert nickel nitrate/boehmite into nickel oxide/boehmite. After that a slurry composition comprising 44.4 wt% catalytic material, 2.01 wt% Disperal 10 solution, 1.05 wt% HNO3 and 52.54 wt% ion-exchanged water was prepared and stirred by means of a magnetic stirring at 700 rpm for 24 hours. A metal substrate was washcoated with the slurry. The substrate was pre-treated by an acetone/isopropanol wash and water rinsing, and the substrate was calcinated at 900 °C for 6 hours before the washcoating. The washcoated substrate was dried by a slow drying with hot air flow and by a fast drying at 500 °C for 5 min. Further, calcination at 800 °C for 2 hours was made. After that, catalyst reduction was made at 400 °C in which H2:N2 is about 1. Then the thin layer of Ni/NiAl2O4 spinel washcoat catalyst had been prepared on the substrate. It was observed that the strong washcoat can be provided on the metal surface of the substrate.
    The devices and equipments of the aqueousphase reforming process used in these examples are known per se in the art, and therefore they are not described in any more detail in this context.
    The method, apparatus and catalysts are suitable in different embodiments for treating different kinds of water fractions and streams.
    The invention is not limited merely to the examples referred to above; instead many variations are possible within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims.
