Description

Method for purifying hydrogen for fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen energy, and particularly relates to a method for purifying hydrogen for a fuel cell.
Background
The hydrogen energy has the advantages of wide source, high heat value, cleanness, no pollution, wide application range and the like, and is one of the indispensable energy carriers for improving the energy structure and promoting the energy revolution in the future. The development of the hydrogen energy industry has been focused on the traffic field, mainly focusing on the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the construction of hydrogen stations and the like, and the application of hydrogen energy in rail transit in the future is another important point.
Currently, china is the first big world for producing hydrogen, and the annual hydrogen production of China is about 2200 ten thousand tons, which accounts for 1/3 of the world hydrogen production. The large-scale hydrogen production is a mature technology in the world and China, but it is worth noting that the China hydrogen is mainly from coal hydrogen production or industrial byproduct hydrogen at present, including propane, ethane dehydrogenation, chlor-alkali industrial byproduct hydrogen, coal methanol purge gas and the like. The industrial hydrogen is purified by Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology by enterprises to obtain the general industrial hydrogen. The following table shows the results of analysis of hydrogen for a particular business industry.
From the analysis results of the above table, it is known that the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) outlet industrial hydrogen has the highest content of carbon monoxide (CO) in impurities, followed by nitrogen (calculated as N 2 + Ar); the carbon dioxide (CO 2) content is extremely low. In contrast to the national standard GB/T37244 for hydrogen for fuel cells, it is necessary to further reduce the carbon monoxide (CO) content of hydrogen to achieve the standard for hydrogen for fuel cells.
Currently, the process of further purifying industrial hydrogen to produce hydrogen for fuel cells is still based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a gas separation technique that relies on pressure changes to adsorb and regenerate different components of a gas using an adsorbent. The Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology consists of a plurality of adsorption tanks, each adsorption tank is filled with adsorbents with the same filling sequence, and impurities in gas passing through a bed layer are adsorbed by utilizing the characteristic that the adsorbents have weak adsorption capability on hydrogen components in mixed gas and strong adsorption capability on other components, so that high-purity hydrogen is obtained. During the regeneration of the adsorbent, impurities adsorbed on the adsorbent are desorbed and discharged into a desorption gas system through a reverse desorption process and the like. In a typical Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) hydrogen purification process, the gas in the feedstock enters the adsorption tank from bottom to top, sequentially passes through adsorbents with different functions, is adsorbed by impurities, has higher and higher purity, and finally reaches the top to become high-purity hydrogen. In general, the first layer of the adsorption tank from bottom to top is an activated alumina adsorbent for removing water; the second layer of adsorbent is special silica gel for removing water and carbon dioxide (CO 2); the third layer of adsorbent is special activated carbon for strongly removing carbon dioxide (CO 2); the fourth layer is a metal complexing adsorbent of an active carbon carrier and is used for removing carbon monoxide (CO); the fifth layer is a 5A molecular sieve, which is used for carrying out fine removal on methane (CH 4), nitrogen (N 2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in hydrogen to ensure the final purity of the product.
Although the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process is mature, the operation is complicated and complicated, and the adsorbent needs to be frequently desorbed and regenerated. In addition, the purity of hydrogen in the desorption gas generated at the time of the adsorbent regeneration is still high. In fuel cell hydrogen production, the amount of desorbed gas typically accounts for over 20% of the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) industrial hydrogen feed. Because the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) desorption gas pressure is normal, hydrogen is extremely low in pressure and difficult to use despite high purity, and can only be discharged to a flare system as low-pressure release gas, and the problems of high value, low use, serious waste and the like are caused. Because fuel cell hydrogen has a severe requirement on impurity content, in order to ensure that impurity removal reaches the standard, the hydrogen yield of the fuel cell hydrogen produced by a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology is generally low, and is generally 80% or even lower.
CN 113929056A discloses an integrated adsorption separation device for purifying hydrogen. The device is filled with a large amount of adsorbents with different types, frequent adsorption-desorption operations are needed in the operation process, and the operation is complex.
CN 111377404B system discloses a device and an operation method for preparing high purity hydrogen by PSA. The PSA10-2-4 flow scheme was used with a loading of 41 tons of adsorbent and during operation the product gas and the analysis gas were 49000Nm 3/h and 25035Nm 3/h, respectively. The hydrogen yield is only 66%, which causes a great deal of hydrogen resource waste.
CN 1512615A discloses a technology for preparing hydrogen for fuel cell by converting carbon monoxide (CO) in hydrogen into carbon dioxide (CO 2) using a catalyst and further removing carbon dioxide (CO 2). Specifically, a water gas shift method of carbon monoxide (CO) is used, and hydrogen (H 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) are obtained by a reaction of carbon monoxide (CO) with water (H 2 O). Although carbon monoxide (CO) is removed, carbon dioxide (CO 2) and H 2 O are additionally added, and a subsequent separation step is still required.
In summary, a hydrogen purification method for fuel cells is developed, which has high hydrogen utilization rate and simple operation, reduces the content of carbon monoxide (CO) which is a main impurity in industrial hydrogen to be less than 0.2ppm, meets the requirements of the national standard GB/T37244-2018 of fuel cell hydrogen, and has important application value.

In addition, the catalysts A1 to 6 prepared in the preparation examples 1 to 6 according to the present invention using the preparation apparatus of the catalyst shown in fig. 1 have a higher nickel dispersity and a smaller nickel particle diameter than the catalysts prepared in the conventional equivalent impregnation method of comparative example 1. The alumina carrier is loosely packed in the silk screen carrier ring, and the rotation of the silk screen carrier ring can drive the slow displacement of the carrier, so that the impregnating solution which forms liquid mist and liquid drops under the action of centrifugal force can be uniformly sprayed on the surface of the carrier at extremely high speed.
In addition, in table 2, at the reaction temperatures of 120 and 150 ℃, the concentration of the carbon oxide after the catalytic reaction of A1 is still lower than 0.2ppm, and the catalytic activity of D1 decreases with the decrease of the reaction temperature, thus indicating that although the catalyst prepared by the conventional impregnation and the impregnation method of the present invention can completely remove the carbon oxide in the hydrogen gas for the fuel cell under the high temperature condition, the catalyst prepared by the impregnation method of the present invention has better activity under the low temperature condition because the catalyst of the present invention has smaller nickel particle size and nickel dispersity, and can exhibit more excellent low temperature catalytic activity in the purification of the carbon oxide in the hydrogen gas for the fuel cell.
The foregoing description of embodiments of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description, and is not intended to be exhaustive or limited to the embodiments disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the various embodiments described.
