Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for removing CO, and a method and a system for generating electricity through a proton exchange membrane battery. The method for removing CO comprises two steps of reaction between reformed hydrogen and methanation catalysts. In the first step of methanation, a first methanation catalyst is adopted to remove CO at the temperature of 330-180 DEG C; the CO2 conversion rate is maintained to be less than 5%, and at the same time the volume percentage of CO is reduced to be less than 0.1%; in the second step of methanation, a second methanation catalyst is adopted to remove CO at the temperature of 220-110 DEG C; the CO2 conversion rate is maintained to be less than 5%, and at the same time the volume percentage of CO is reduced to be less than 30ppm. The invention further provides a device for removing CO by the method, as well as a method and a system for generating electricity through a proton exchange membrane battery by the method. The method ensures high level of CO removal, avoids anode toxicity of PEMFC, and leads to high efficiency because methanation is performed to only a small amount of CO2; furthermore, each methanation reactor has a broad range of operational temperatures, thereby being conducive to the design of the device and the control system.

Description

CO removal method and device and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells electricity-generating method and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the CO removal method in fields such as a kind of new forms of energy and Chemical Engineering, particularly relate to CO degree of depth removal method and device and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells electricity-generating method and system in the integrated hydrogen source system of a kind of and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells.
Background technology
Along with becoming increasingly conspicuous of contradiction between the appearance of global energy crisis and development and the environmental protection; countries in the world are all being sought and development is efficient, cleaning, cheap regenerative resource and new forms of energy, as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biomass energy, Hydrogen Energy etc.In many new forms of energy, Hydrogen Energy is considered to the most promising energy, also is considered to solve the final way of the energy and environmental problem.
The raw material sources of producing hydrogen are extensive, as fossil fuel, bio-fuel and regenerative resource etc.The method that generally adopts is the reformation of fossil fuel now, and this is most economical, the most practical at present hydrogen preparation method.But, contain the CO about 10% in the reformer hydrogen that reforming process produces, afterwards, still contain the CO of 0.4-2% in the reformer hydrogen, if adopt two sections conversion of high low temperature then contain the CO of 0.4-1% usually through CO transformationreation (WGS).And require at the anode Pt catalyst of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) of 60-80 ℃ of work that CO volume ratio content is lower than 30ppm in the reformer hydrogen, be preferably lower than 10ppm.Therefore, between shift-converter and PEMFC, need the system that the degree of depth is removed CO, CO concentration is reduced to below the 30ppm from the 0.4-2% of shift-converter outlet.
Usually, the method for CO has film separation, methods such as transformation absorption (PSA), CO selective oxidation (PROX) and CO methanation in the degree of depth removal reformer hydrogen.But, for the fixing application apparatus such as power station, automobile power, compact power of small distributed fuel cell, consider limited volume, low actual conditions such as operating pressure, feasible method has only CO selective oxidation and CO methanation.
At present, PROX is the method that the most generally adopts, also is that CO is removed to the most reliable method below the 30ppm, therefore is widely used.But PROX has following shortcoming: the first, and air blast need be set introduce air, system complex, energy consumption are increased; The second, with the simultaneous competitive reaction of PROX---H 2The oxidation meeting consume the fuel H of PEMFC 2, for avoid H as far as possible 2Consumption, need the supply of strict control air, thereby make control system complicated; The 3rd, even accurate control system, H are arranged 2Oxidation also inevitable, cause efficient to reduce; The 4th, the airborne N that introduces 2Can cause H 2Concentration reduces, thereby generating efficiency is reduced.
And CO selects methanation owing to do not need to introduce in addition reactant, and flow process, control system and reactor are simple, thereby can avoid the problems referred to above.
Batista has studied employing Co/ γ-Al 2O 3Catalyst is removed the method for CO in hydrogen and the CO mist, and the concentration of the CO that it can allow is 1000ppm (volume ratio), and in the method, the conversion ratio of CO can reach 90%.But owing to do not contain CO in the unstripped gas of this method 2, in fact, this method also is not suitable for commercial Application.Because at CO 2Exist down, when carrying out the methanation of CO, CO 2Also can react, and consume a large amount of H 2Takenake finds Ni/ZrO 2And Ru/TiO 2Can be as catalyst at CO 2Under a large amount of situations about existing,, make CO reduce to 20ppm (volume ratio content) from 5000ppm as 25% (volumn concentration), and CO 2Consumption seldom, but the scope of the effecting reaction temperature of above-mentioned catalyst is very narrow, also is not suitable for commercial Application.
United States Patent (USP) 6,207, No. 307, it has announced the reaction of a kind of employing two-part, and first section is adopted selective methanation catalyst, makes CO that methanation take place, and it is characterized in that the concentration of CO in this section outlet reaction mass remained on is enough to suppress CO 2Take place in this section on the concentration of methanation, i.e. CO concentration must be higher than 0.1% in this section outlet reaction mass, is preferably in about 0.8%.Second section is adopted same selective methanation catalyst that the CO concentration in the outlet reaction mass is reduced to below the 40ppm.The reaction temperature of first section high-temperature methanation is 250-350 ℃, and the reaction temperature of second section low temperature methanation remains on below 270 ℃.; this scheme requires first section methanation outlet reaction mass, promptly contains 0.1-1%, 0.8% CO preferably in second section reaction mass that enters the mouth; in fact for reformer hydrogen through the CO transformationreation; CO content wherein is usually in the scope of 0.4-1%, thereby above-mentioned two sections methanation reaction schemes and be not suitable for removing CO through in the reformer hydrogen of CO transformationreation.
In sum, chemical industry and new energy field, especially Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells power station technology field need a kind of simply, reliably, CO degree of depth removal method efficiently.
