Example 2
A method for purifying hydrogen using the purification apparatus disclosed in example 1, comprising the steps of:
s1: purification stage
(1) Preparation before purification: the working tower is activated and regenerated, and the adsorbent is deactivated for one time under the condition of first starting, so that the adsorbent recovers the adsorption capacity again, and impurities contained in the raw material gas can be adsorbed and removed normally.
The step is one of key steps for ensuring the purity of the product gas to be 9N hydrogen, and is used for blowing off impurities contained in a pipeline system, so that the reduction of adsorption time and the economic waste caused by the over high concentration of the impurities contained in the pipeline are prevented; meanwhile, the purifier is a hydrogen purifier, so that the purity in the tank cannot be guaranteed in the transportation process, and the adsorbent is in the air for a long time and is already adsorbed and saturated, so that the adsorbent needs to be regenerated and activated, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent is recovered again, and the gas production is guaranteed to be 9N hydrogen with high purity. Avoiding unnecessary economic cost waste caused by the earlier stage.
(2) Pre-cooling preparation: because the whole purification condition needs low temperature, the valve is opened through the liquid nitrogen inlet 8, the low-temperature adsorption reactor 6 is filled with liquid nitrogen, the temperature of the whole reaction container is reduced, and the working tower needs to be subjected to deep precooling after the regeneration is finished, so that one condition of the adsorption reaction is ensured.
The step is one of key steps for ensuring the purity of the product gas to be 9N hydrogen, and because the whole adsorption environment is an extremely low-temperature reaction environment, the whole working tower is required to be cooled before the whole purification is started, and a temperature condition capable of carrying out low-temperature adsorption reaction is reached, so that the low-temperature adsorption capacity is maximized, and the raw material 5N hydrogen is purified into high-purity 9N hydrogen.
(3) The purification process comprises the following steps: after the preparation of the two steps (1) and (2), the raw material gas can be introduced into a pipeline system, the raw material gas is input into a low-temperature adsorption reactor 6 through a reactor inlet pneumatic valve 5, impurities contained in the raw material gas are removed by utilizing adsorbents contained in a working tower, meanwhile, a user needs to monitor the product gas index output by a purifier at an outlet, and the purified product gas can be output for production after reaching standards.
The step is a step of starting purification of the working tower, and because the working tower is fully immersed in a liquid nitrogen environment, the main conditions of the low-temperature adsorption reaction are ensured, so that the raw material hydrogen starts to undergo the low-temperature adsorption reaction after passing through a special adsorbent, and impurities such as nitrogen, argon, oxygen, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, non-methane and the like contained in the raw material 5N-level hydrogen are adsorbed and removed, and further the high-purity 9N-level hydrogen is produced, thereby meeting the gas purity required in the semiconductor production process.
S2: regeneration phase
(1) Preparation before regeneration: because the regeneration process is in a high-temperature regeneration state, the normally adsorbed low-temperature adsorption reactor 6 is in an extremely low-temperature state, so that the liquid nitrogen contained in the interlayer 6A needs to be purged, normal-temperature nitrogen is introduced through the purging nitrogen inlet 9, is injected into the interlayer 6A of the low-temperature adsorption reactor 6 through the valve of the purging nitrogen inlet 9, and is purged to the normal-temperature state through a period of liquid nitrogen purging process.
This step is an important step to ensure safe regeneration of the device. Since the normal low-temperature adsorption process is extremely low-temperature and the regeneration process is high-temperature, if the whole reactor is restored to room temperature at the beginning of regeneration, the inside of the reactor is cracked, and the low-temperature adsorption reactor 6 is damaged, so that the liquid nitrogen in the interlayer 6A inside the low-temperature adsorption reactor 6 needs to be purged before the beginning of regeneration.
(2) The regeneration process comprises the following steps: the purified product gas is utilized, and the temperature of the regenerated product gas is raised to be higher than 300 ℃ through a regeneration pipeline, a regeneration valve 20, a regeneration inlet valve 21 and a heater 22, so that the temperature of a regeneration tower bed layer is raised, the adsorption capacity of the bed layer adsorbent is restored again, the adsorption capacity can be normally reached, and then the regenerated product gas is discharged through a waste gas discharge port 26 through a regeneration outlet valve 23 and a regeneration discharge valve 24.
The method has the advantages that the product gas is utilized for regeneration, so that the purity of the pipeline can be ensured; and meanwhile, reverse regeneration is utilized to prevent the regenerated waste gas from being in gas communication with a product gas pipeline, so that the purity of the product gas is polluted.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
