Definitions

  • the present invention relates to producing hydrogen in the petrochemistry field, particularly from natural gas or LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or from other gas mixtures containing the C 1 -C 4 hydrocarbons.
  • the hydrogen production approach according to the present invention is achieved by making use of Ni-Fe/ ⁇ -AI 2 O 3 type catalysts with a higher activity and a special preparation method.
  • Both of such methods are conducted at temperatures ranging from 750 0 C to 800 0 C and under low pressure levels. Both such methods bring about the following significant drawbacks: conducting the process at high temperatures; formation of CO besides H 2 in the process; provision of a special catalytic conversion system to completely convert CO to CO 2 .
  • the approach of the background art closest to the present invention is the process whereby methane is catalytically decomposed directly to hydrogen and carbon.
  • the basic drawback of this process is the high temperature (700-750 0 C) requirement to provide a high CH 4 conversion yield, whereas the others may be listed as following: - higher energy costs; material selection difficulty for the reactor; an increase in the amount of coke that forms and a decrease in the fixed working period without oxidative regeneration of the catalysts; shortening of the general working life of catalysts.
  • the present invention provides a high-yield hydrogen production approach at relatively lower temperatures by means of direct decomposition of natural gas, LPG, or other gas mixtures having a C r C 4 -hydrocarbon content.
  • This approach is achieved by making use of Ni-Fe/ ⁇ - AI 2 O 3 type catalysts with a higher activity and a special preparation method.
  • the subject process is as following.
  • the catalyst for the direct decomposition of methane is prepared according to the subject process.
  • industrial-type Y-AI 2 O 3 is used as the catalyst carrier, and Ni and Fe are employed as active metals.
  • concentrations of Ni and Fe each vary between 5% and 20% on the catalyst's surface.
  • the catalysts are prepared by adsorbing on the carrier surface the aqueous solutions of metal salts (typically the nitrate salts) in a multi-step method.
  • the adsorption phase is conducted at the room temperature.
  • the carrier is subjected to adsorption, the solution is evaporated and the catalyst dried under air.
  • the calcination of catalyst is carried out in an oven under air.
  • Ni-Fe/ ⁇ -AI 2 O 3 catalyst used in this invention has the following advantages as compared to known catalysts used for the direct decomposition of natural gas (or methane): the aqueous solutions of Ni and Fe salts are adsorbed in a multi-step manner on the carrier in order to have a more homogeneous distribution of such active metals on the carrier surface;
  • Ni and Fe salts are adsorbed together onto the carrier surface; and the catalyst is subjected to calcination after each interim adsorption step conducted on the carrier surface.
  • Any such prepared catalysts are used in the direct decomposition process of natural gas or LPG according to the present invention.
  • the process is conducted under atmosphere pressure and at 550-650 0 C temperature.
  • the volumetric flow rate of natural gas or LPG used as raw materials in this process varies between 720 hour “1 and 4320 hour “1 .
  • the conversion rate of methane in the natural gas to hydrogen varies between 66 to 91% according to the conditions of this process.
  • the contents of the natural gas and LPG used as inputs in the process, and the gaseous products as the output of the process are analyzed by means of Gas Chromatography.
  • the amount and character of the coke formed on the catalyst surface as a result of directly decomposing CH 4 according to this process are studied by the Differential Thermal-Gravimetric Analysis method.

For this reason, 3.12 g Ni(NO 3 ) 2 .6H 2 O and 4.56 g Fe(NO 3 ) 3 .9H 2 O salts are dissolved in 10 ml distilled water and the resulting solution is adsorbed in two steps under mixing for 12 hours on the surface of Y-AI 2 O 3 (10 g), which is previously dried under 150 0 C for 4 hours.
  • the solution is evaporated and the catalyst is dried under air at 150 0 C for 6 hours and subjected to calcination at 500°C for 4 hours, then in the second step following adsorption, the solution is evaporated again and the catalyst dried under air at 15O 0 C. Then, the catalyst is subjected to the final calcination step under air at 75O 0 C for 4 hours. In the calcination steps, the temperature is raised by 150°C/hour "1 starting from 150°C.
  • a 2.5 g aliquot is taken from the prepared catalyst and used for directly decomposing the natural gas.
  • the content of the natural gas used as raw material in this process is as following (% by volume): H 2 - 0.14, CH 4 - 87.84, C 2 H 6 - 4.16, C 3 - 1.19, C 4 -C 5 - 0.03, N 2 - 5.6, O 2 - 0.51 , CO 2 - 0.43.

The adsorption of aqueous solutions of metal salts on the catalyst surface is conducted at four steps in the preparation of the catalyst.
  • 20% Ni + 20% Fe/ ⁇ -Al 2 O 3 catalyst is prepared for use in this process.
