Integration of Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells for Synthesis of Nitrogen Compounds |
摘要 |
In various aspects, systems and methods are provided for integration of molten carbonate fuel cells with processes for synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. The molten carbonate fuel cells can be integrated with a synthesis process in various manners, including providing hydrogen for use in producing ammonia. Additionally, integration of molten carbonate fuel cells with a methanol synthesis process can facilitate further processing of vent streams or secondary product streams generated during synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. |

1. A method for synthesizing nitrogen-containing compounds, the method comprising:
introducing a fuel stream comprising a reformable fuel into an anode of a molten carbonate fuel cell, an internal reforming element associated with the anode, or a combination thereof; introducing a cathode inlet stream comprising CO2 and O2 into a cathode of the fuel cell; generating electricity within the molten carbonate fuel cell; generating an anode exhaust comprising H2 and CO2; separating CO2 from at least a portion of the anode exhaust to produce a CO2-rich stream having a CO2 content greater than a CO2 content of the anode exhaust and a CO2-depleted gas stream having an H2 content greater than an H2 content of the anode exhaust; and using at least a portion of the CO2-depleted gas stream in an ammonia synthesis process. |
