3 Methodology

4 Methodology Constrained Free Energy (CFE) method CFE is an extension to Gibbs free energy method where additional immaterial constraints are incorporated to chemical system Chemical system can be constrained by extent of reaction, electrochemical potential, surface area or volume The distinct benefit of this method lies in the calculation of constrained chemical reactions, enthalpic effects and state properties simultaneously and interdependently ChemSheet is applied as modelling tool, as it allows extending chemical system with virtual constraints Kangas, P 205, Dissertation, Åbo Akademi University 4

5 5 Chemical system is constrained by defining immaterial constraints based on the extent of reactions Non-stoichiometric chemical system is solved by minimising the Gibbs energy with Lagrange method of undetermined multipliers Additional immaterial components and constituents are implemented into system for applying chemical kinetics Methodology Constrained Free Energy (CFE) method Y L X K L K L K K Y L L L,,,,,,,, K k L l K k l k kl l k k b n n G L 0 L l kl l k n k k n n L 0 l k K k kl l b n L l n x C x (T) f x x dt r t x x 0 xr xf x r r r b a b j k r ) / ( exp RT E B AT k (constant value) (temperature dependent model) (global and elementary kinetic reactions)

18 Gasification

19 Gasification - Background During biomass gasification light hydrocarbons (eg : CH 4,, H 4,, C 3 H 8, C 6 ), ammonia, tars and char are formed among syngas This affects on the composition of major species in syngas (CO, CO 2,, O) Assuming thermodynamic equilibrium the superequilibrium of hydrocarbons, ammonia, tar and char is not taken into account Phenomena based and semi-empirical models have been developed for describing the superequilibrium Phenomena based models become tedious with several parameters Current semi-empirical models provide only ad-hoc solution Aim: evaluate the use of experimental models with CFE and to study different model structures Figure Example of gasification process [] Figure 2 Example of multi-step semi-empirical model 9

20 Gasification - Cases with different sets of constraints EQ: Thermodynamic equilibrium is used as base case No additional constraints are defined Super-EQ: super-equilibrium where carbon conversion, tar and ammonia formation are defined is studied In addition the amount of carbon in volatile hydrocarbons (CH 4,, H 4,, C 3 H 8 and C 6 ) is fixed Super-EQ2 where previous case is extended by introducing additional constraint for the amount of hydrogen in volatile hydrocarbons Super-EQ3 replaces the hydrogen constraint by introducing a constraint for CH 4 Super-EQ4 defines the amount of carbon bound to unsaturated hydrocarbons hydrocarbons ( and H 4 ) and benzene (C 6 ) Super-EQ5 introduces a fully constrained system where the amount of every hydrocarbon constituent is defined by empirical models However the water-gas shift reaction is not constrained, but local equilibrium is assumed 20

34 Conclusions

35 Conclusions this study CFE is successfully applied for modelling biomass gasification and NO emissions Experimental model, global kinetic models and reactions based elementary kinetic reactions can be implemented as constraints in CFE calculation Requires less parameters than a mechanistic kinetic approach Best result are achieved when moderate amount of reactions are limiting the system Kangas, P 205, Dissertation, Åbo Akademi University 35

36 Conclusions - Other uses of kinetic constraints In chemical and metallurgical reactors for improved control of autogenic energy efficiency (up to 40 % savings in energy and/or CO 2 release) In rotary drums and other furnaces for replacement of fossil fuels with biofuel In pulp and papermaking processes for control of chemical dosage and process ph In developing new chemistry concepts for in-situ reactions 36

37 Conclusions CFE provides a rigorous method to include work-related and dynamic factors to min(g) Serves for quantitative calculation of both partial equilibria and para-equilibrium systems in chemistry and materials science Can be used for approximate local equilibria in complex reaction systems With accurate reaction kinetics, will provide data of reaction rate controlled local chemical equilibrium systems Has gained increasing interest with its wide applicability in both materials and process research* Overviews published in: wwwvttfi/inf/pdf/technology/204/t60pdf wwwvttfi/inf/pdf/science/205/s92pdf * 37
