Description

本発明は、水素発生方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a hydrogen generation method.

水素ガスの発生方法としては、水を電気分解する方法;金属と酸を反応させる方法;水素化金属に水を反応させる方法;メチルアルコールまたは天然ガスを水蒸気で改質する方法;水素吸蔵合金、活性炭、カーボンナノチューブ、リチウム−窒素系材料等の水素貯蔵材料から水素を放出させる方法等、各種の方法が知られている。しかしながら、これらの方法は、水素を発生させるために大量のエネルギーを必要とすることや、使用原料に対する水素発生量が少ないこと、大規模な設備を必要とすること等の欠点がある。このため、これらの方法は、工場規模での生産や実験室で用いる程度の量の水素発生には利用可能であるが、自動車搭載用燃料電池、携帯電話用、パーソナルコンピュータ用等のポータブル燃料電池等、所要量の水素燃料を継続的に供給でき、しかも小型化が要求される用途における水素供給方法としては不適切である。   Hydrogen gas can be generated by electrolyzing water; reacting metal with acid; reacting metal hydride with water; reforming methyl alcohol or natural gas with steam; hydrogen storage alloy; Various methods are known, such as a method of releasing hydrogen from hydrogen storage materials such as activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, and lithium-nitrogen materials. However, these methods have drawbacks such as requiring a large amount of energy to generate hydrogen, a small amount of hydrogen generation with respect to raw materials used, and a large-scale facility. For this reason, these methods can be used for production on a factory scale or generation of hydrogen in the amount used in laboratories, but portable fuel cells for automobile-mounted fuel cells, mobile phones, personal computers, etc. For example, it is unsuitable as a hydrogen supply method in applications where a required amount of hydrogen fuel can be continuously supplied and miniaturization is required.

一方、LiAlH4、NaBH4などの金属水素化合物は、水素化試薬として実験室等で用いられ
ているが、水と接触すると一時的に多量の水素を発生して爆発的現象をもたらすために、取り扱いを慎重にする必要があり、やはり上記した燃料電池の水素供給源として適するものではない。
On the other hand, metal hydrides such as LiAlH 4 and NaBH 4 are used in laboratories as hydrogenation reagents, but when they come into contact with water, a large amount of hydrogen is temporarily generated to cause an explosive phenomenon. It must be handled with care and is not suitable as a hydrogen supply source for the above-described fuel cell.

NaBH4等のテトラヒドロホウ酸塩のアルカリ性水溶液からの水素発生方法も報告されて
いるが、この方法では、アルカリ濃度(pH値)の制御が必要であり、しかも上記した通り、この化合物は取り扱いに注意が必要である(非特許文献1、2、特許文献1、2参照)。
A method for generating hydrogen from an alkaline aqueous solution of tetrahydroborate such as NaBH 4 has also been reported, but this method requires control of the alkali concentration (pH value). Attention is required (see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 and Patent Documents 1 and 2).

また、化学式:NHBHで表されるボラン・アンモニアの熱分解を利用して水素を放出させる方法も報告されているが、この方法は、高温に加熱して熱分解を生じさせるために、エネルギーを多量に必要とし、反応の制御も困難である(非特許文献3、非特許文献4)。 In addition, a method of releasing hydrogen by utilizing thermal decomposition of borane / ammonia represented by the chemical formula: NH 3 BH 3 has been reported, but this method is used to cause thermal decomposition by heating to high temperature. In addition, a large amount of energy is required, and control of the reaction is difficult (Non-patent Documents 3 and 4).

最近、水の存在下に、白金、パラジウム、ニッケル、コバルト、ロジウム、またはこれらの金属を含む化合物を触媒としたボラン・アンモニアの加水分解を利用した水素発生方法が報告されている(非特許文献5)。この反応では、高温に加熱することなく、制御可能な条件下において水素を発生させることが可能であるが、触媒としては主として貴金属が用いられているために、より低コスト化することが望まれており、また、水素の発生効率の点でも更なる改善が望まれている。

Recently, a hydrogen generation method using hydrolysis of borane / ammonia catalyzed by platinum, palladium, nickel, cobalt, rhodium, or a compound containing these metals in the presence of water has been reported (Non-Patent Document). 5). In this reaction, it is possible to generate hydrogen under controllable conditions without heating to a high temperature. However, since noble metals are mainly used as the catalyst, it is desired to further reduce the cost. In addition, further improvement in hydrogen generation efficiency is desired.

本発明は、上記した従来技術の現状に鑑みてなされたものであり、その主な目的は、燃料電池の燃料等として用いる水素ガスを、高温に加熱することなく、制御可能な条件下で発生させることができ、しかも低コストで効率よく水素ガスを発生できる方法を提供することである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described current state of the prior art, and its main purpose is to generate hydrogen gas used as fuel for fuel cells, etc. under controllable conditions without heating to high temperatures. And providing a method capable of generating hydrogen gas efficiently at low cost.

本発明者は、上記した目的を達成すべく鋭意研究を重ねてきた。その結果、ボラン・アンモニアNH3BH3を水素発生源とする水素発生方法において、特定の金属成分を無機酸化物に担持させた金属担持触媒を用いる場合には、比較的少ない触媒金属の使用量であっても、効率良く水素ガスを発生させることができ、しかも、水素発生量、発生速度等に制御も容易であることを見出し、ここに本発明を完成するに至った。 The present inventor has intensively studied to achieve the above-described object. As a result, in a hydrogen generation method using borane / ammonia NH 3 BH 3 as a hydrogen generation source, when using a metal-supported catalyst in which a specific metal component is supported on an inorganic oxide, a relatively small amount of catalyst metal is used. Even so, it has been found that hydrogen gas can be generated efficiently, and that the amount of hydrogen generated, the generation speed, etc. can be easily controlled, and the present invention has been completed here.

即ち、本発明は、下記の水素発生方法及び燃料電池への水素供給方法を提供するものである。
1. 水の存在下において、化学式:NHBHで表されるボラン・アンモニアを、周期表の8族に属する元素、周期表の9族に属する元素、周期表の10族に属する元素、及び周期表の11族に属する元素からなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の金属成分を無機酸化物担体に担持させた金属担持触媒に接触させることを特徴とする水素発生方法。

That is, the present invention provides the following hydrogen generation method and hydrogen supply method to the fuel cell.
1. In the presence of water, borane / ammonia represented by the chemical formula: NH 3 BH 3 is converted into an element belonging to Group 8 of the periodic table, an element belonging to Group 9 of the periodic table, an element belonging to Group 10 of the periodic table, and the period.

4). A method for supplying hydrogen to a fuel cell, wherein the hydrogen generated by the method according to any one of Items 1 to 3 is used as a hydrogen source for the fuel cell.

本発明の水素発生方法では、水素発生成分として、化学式:NHBHで表されるボラン・アンモニアを用いる。ボラン・アンモニアは公知化合物であり、密度が0.74 g/cm3の無色の化合物である。ボラン・アンモニアは、水に可溶であるが、室温付近の温度では水との反応は生じ難く、比較的安定な水溶液として存在し、その取り扱いは容易且つ安全である。例えば、ボラン・アンモニアの1.0重量%水溶液を室温でアルゴン雰囲気下に放
置した際の放置直後、6日経過後、及び30日経過後のそれぞれの11B NMRスペクトル
を測定した結果、NHBHに帰属されるピーク(δ=-24 ppm)はほとんど変化せず、1ヶ月経過後にも新たなピークは観測されなかった。この結果は、NH3BH3は室温で1ヶ月経過しても水とほとんど反応しないことを示すものである。
In the hydrogen generation method of the present invention, borane / ammonia represented by the chemical formula: NH 3 BH 3 is used as a hydrogen generation component. Borane / ammonia is a known compound and is a colorless compound having a density of 0.74 g / cm 3 . Although borane / ammonia is soluble in water, it hardly reacts with water at a temperature around room temperature, exists as a relatively stable aqueous solution, and its handling is easy and safe. For example, as a result of measuring 11 B NMR spectra of a 1.0% by weight aqueous solution of borane / ammonia immediately after being left in an argon atmosphere at room temperature, after 6 days, and after 30 days, it is attributed to NH 3 BH 3 . The observed peak (δ = -24 ppm) hardly changed, and no new peak was observed even after one month. This result shows that NH 3 BH 3 hardly reacts with water even after one month at room temperature.

一方、本発明者の研究によれば、ボラン・アンモニアは、水の存在下に、特定の金属成分を無機酸化物担体に担持させた金属担持触媒と接触させることによって、下記化学反応式(1)に従って、水と速やかに反応して、水素を発生することが明らかとなった。   On the other hand, according to the study of the present inventor, borane / ammonia is brought into contact with a metal-supported catalyst in which a specific metal component is supported on an inorganic oxide support in the presence of water, whereby the following chemical reaction formula (1 ) To react quickly with water to generate hydrogen.

Figure 2007182336
Figure 2007182336

この反応では、水素発生量は、NHBH自体が分解して発生する水素と、水からの水素の和になるので、反応に関与するNHBHとHOの合計量に対して8.9重量%の水素が発生し、水素の発生効率は非常に高くなる。 In this reaction, the amount of hydrogen generated is the sum of hydrogen generated by decomposition of NH 3 BH 3 itself and hydrogen from water, so the total amount of NH 3 BH 3 and H 2 O involved in the reaction is As a result, 8.9 wt% of hydrogen is generated, and the hydrogen generation efficiency becomes very high.

本発明の水素発生方法は、上記反応を利用する方法であり、ボラン・アンモニアを水素発生成分として用い、これを、水の存在下において、特定の金属成分を無機酸化物担体に担持させた金属担持触媒に接触させる方法である。   The hydrogen generation method of the present invention is a method utilizing the above reaction, using borane / ammonia as a hydrogen generation component, which is a metal in which a specific metal component is supported on an inorganic oxide support in the presence of water. This is a method of contacting with a supported catalyst.

以下、本発明方法について具体的に説明する。   Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be specifically described.

金属担持触媒
本発明では、触媒として、周期表の8族に属する元素、周期表の9族に属する元素、周期表の10族に属する元素、及び周期表の11族に属する元素からなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の金属成分を無機酸化物担体に担持させた金属担持触媒を用いる。
Metal-supported catalyst In the present invention, the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of an element belonging to Group 8 of the periodic table, an element belonging to Group 9 of the periodic table, an element belonging to Group 10 of the periodic table, and an element belonging to Group 11 of the periodic table. A metal-supported catalyst in which at least one selected metal component is supported on an inorganic oxide carrier is used.

この様な特定の金属成分を担体に担持させた触媒は、貴金属のみからなる触媒と比較して、低コストであるばかりでなく、貴金属のみからなる触媒よりもボラン・アンモニアの加水分解反応に対して非常に高い活性を有するものである。従って、上記した金属担持触媒を用いることによって、低コストで効率良く水素ガスを発生させることが可能となる。   A catalyst in which such a specific metal component is supported on a carrier is not only lower in cost than a catalyst made of only a noble metal, but also has a higher reaction to hydrolysis of borane / ammonia than a catalyst made of only a noble metal. And has a very high activity. Therefore, by using the above metal-supported catalyst, it is possible to efficiently generate hydrogen gas at a low cost.

本発明で用いる金属担持触媒では、周期表の8族に属する元素としては、鉄、ルテニウム等を例示でき、周期表の9族に属する元素としては、コバルト、ロジウムなどを例示でき、周期表の10族に属する元素としては、ニッケル、パラジウム、白金等を例示でき、周期表の11族に属する元素としては、銅、銀、金等を例示できる。これらの金属成分は、一種単独または二種以上混合して用いることができる。   In the metal-supported catalyst used in the present invention, examples of the element belonging to Group 8 of the periodic table include iron and ruthenium. Examples of the element belonging to Group 9 of the periodic table include cobalt and rhodium. Examples of the element belonging to Group 10 include nickel, palladium, platinum and the like, and examples of the element belonging to Group 11 of the periodic table include copper, silver and gold. These metal components can be used individually by 1 type or in mixture of 2 or more types.

これらの金属成分の内で、特に、白金、パラジウム、ロジウム、ルテニウム、ニッケル、コバルト、銅等が好ましい。   Of these metal components, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, nickel, cobalt, copper and the like are particularly preferable.

担体として用いる無機酸化物としては、例えば、金属酸化物、複合金属酸化物、ゼオライト、メソポーラスシリカ等の各種酸化物を用いることができる。好ましい担体の具体例としては、アルミナ、シリカ、チタニア、ジルコニアなどの金属酸化物を挙げることができる。   As the inorganic oxide used as the carrier, for example, various oxides such as metal oxide, composite metal oxide, zeolite, and mesoporous silica can be used. Specific examples of preferred carriers include metal oxides such as alumina, silica, titania and zirconia.

担体の形状、大きさ等については、特に限定的ではなく、上記した金属成分を担持可能な形状及び大きさであればよく、例えば、粉体、造粒物、成形物等の各種形状の無機酸化物を用いることができる。特に、担体が多孔質であれば、重量当たりの金属成分の担持量を多くすることができる点で有利である。   The shape, size, etc. of the carrier are not particularly limited as long as it is a shape and size capable of supporting the above-described metal component. For example, various shapes of inorganic materials such as powders, granulated products, molded products, etc. An oxide can be used. In particular, if the support is porous, it is advantageous in that the amount of metal component supported per weight can be increased.

上記金属担持触媒における金属成分の担持量については、具体的な反応温度、反応形態、担体の形状等によって最適な範囲を適宜決めればよいが、通常、金属成分と無機酸化物担体の合計量を100重量%として、金属成分量を 0.1〜50重量%程度とすればよく、
0.5〜20重量%程度とすることが好ましい。
The supported amount of the metal component in the metal-supported catalyst may be appropriately determined according to the specific reaction temperature, reaction form, support shape, etc., but the total amount of the metal component and the inorganic oxide support is usually determined. 100% by weight, the amount of metal component should be about 0.1-50% by weight,
It is preferably about 0.5 to 20% by weight.

本発明の水素ガス発生方法において、特に高い触媒活性を示す金属担持触媒の具体例としては、ルテニウム担持シリカ触媒、白金担持アルミナ触媒、パラジウム担持チタニア触媒、ロジウム担持ジルコニア触媒、ニッケル担持アルミナ触媒、コバルト担持シリカ触媒、銅担持アルミナ触媒等を挙げることができる。   In the hydrogen gas generation method of the present invention, specific examples of the metal-supported catalyst exhibiting particularly high catalytic activity include ruthenium-supported silica catalyst, platinum-supported alumina catalyst, palladium-supported titania catalyst, rhodium-supported zirconia catalyst, nickel-supported alumina catalyst, cobalt Examples thereof include a supported silica catalyst and a copper supported alumina catalyst.

本発明では、金属担持触媒は、一種単独又は二種以上混合して用いることができる。   In the present invention, the metal-supported catalysts can be used singly or in combination of two or more.

金属成分を担体に担持させる方法については特に限定はなく、含浸法、析出沈殿法等の公知の調製法を適宜適用できる。例えば、含浸法によって金属担持触媒を調製する場合に
は、金属塩、無機酸化物担体及び水をフラスコ等の容器中で攪拌した後、水を蒸発させ、焼成した後、必要に応じて水素等の還元剤で処理することによって、目的とする金属担持触媒を得ることができる。水を蒸発させる方法については特に限定はなく、例えばポンプによる減圧、加熱等の手段を適宜採用できる。焼成温度についても特に限定はなく、一般的には、金属塩の分解温度付近または分解温度以上の温度とすることが望ましい。また、この様な焼成処理のみで金属成分が十分に還元されない場合には、必要に応じて、還元処理を行えばよい。還元処理としては、例えば、水素雰囲気中で適度な温度範囲に加熱する方法等を採用できる。また、本発明方法で用いる水素発生物質であるボラン・アンモニアも還元剤として作用するので、触媒金属として還元されやすい金属を用いる場合には、ボラン・アンモニアとの接触によって水素を発生させる際に、触媒金属を含む化合物も還元されて金属となるので、他の還元剤による還元処理を省略することができる。
The method for supporting the metal component on the carrier is not particularly limited, and known preparation methods such as an impregnation method and a precipitation method can be appropriately applied. For example, when preparing a metal-supported catalyst by an impregnation method, after stirring a metal salt, an inorganic oxide carrier and water in a container such as a flask, the water is evaporated and calcined, and hydrogen as necessary The target metal-supported catalyst can be obtained by treating with a reducing agent. The method for evaporating water is not particularly limited, and for example, means such as pressure reduction by a pump and heating can be appropriately employed. There are no particular limitations on the firing temperature, and it is generally desirable that the firing temperature be near or near the decomposition temperature of the metal salt. Further, when the metal component is not sufficiently reduced only by such a baking treatment, a reduction treatment may be performed as necessary. As the reduction treatment, for example, a method of heating to an appropriate temperature range in a hydrogen atmosphere can be employed. Further, since borane / ammonia, which is a hydrogen generating material used in the method of the present invention, also acts as a reducing agent, when using a metal that is easily reduced as a catalyst metal, when generating hydrogen by contact with borane / ammonia, Since the compound containing the catalytic metal is also reduced to a metal, the reduction treatment with another reducing agent can be omitted.

水素発生方法
本発明の水素発生方法は、化学式:NHBHで表されるボラン・アンモニアを水素発生成分として用い、水の存在下において、上記した金属担持触媒を水素発生成分であるボラン・アンモニアに接触させる方法である。
Hydrogen Generation Method The hydrogen generation method of the present invention uses borane / ammonia represented by the chemical formula: NH 3 BH 3 as a hydrogen generation component, and in the presence of water, the above metal-supported catalyst is a boron generation component that is a hydrogen generation component. This is a method of contacting with ammonia.

ボラン・アンモニアの種類について特に限定はなく、一般に市販されているものをそのまま使用できる。また、水素発生に悪影響の無い限りその他の成分が同時に含まれていても良い。   There is no limitation in particular about the kind of borane / ammonia, and what is generally marketed can be used as it is. Further, other components may be included at the same time as long as there is no adverse effect on the hydrogen generation.

水の存在下において、ボラン・アンモニアを金属担持触媒に接触させる方法については、特に限定はなく、例えば、ボラン・アンモニアと触媒の混合物に水を添加する方法;ボラン・アンモニアと触媒のいずれか一方又は両方をあらかじめ水溶液若しくは水分散液としておき、両者を混合する方法などを採用できる。これらの方法では、例えば、前者の場合には、水の添加速度、添加量などを調整することによって、水素の発生速度、発生量などを容易に制御できる。また、後者の場合には、ボラン・アンモニアと触媒の混合速度、混合割合、水溶液の濃度等を調整することによって、水素の発生速度、発生量などを容易に制御できる。   There is no particular limitation on the method of bringing borane / ammonia into contact with the metal-supported catalyst in the presence of water, for example, a method of adding water to a mixture of borane / ammonia and the catalyst; either one of borane / ammonia and the catalyst Alternatively, it is possible to employ a method in which both are previously prepared as an aqueous solution or an aqueous dispersion, and both are mixed. In these methods, for example, in the former case, the hydrogen generation rate, generation amount, and the like can be easily controlled by adjusting the water addition rate, addition amount, and the like. In the latter case, by adjusting the mixing rate, mixing ratio, concentration of the aqueous solution, and the like of borane / ammonia and the catalyst, the hydrogen generation rate, generation amount, etc. can be easily controlled.

上記反応式に示すように、ボラン・アンモニア1モルに対して水2モルが反応して水素が発生するので、原料として用いたボラン・アンモニアを十分に反応させるためには、水の使用量は、ボラン・アンモニア1モルに対して2モル程度以上とすることが好ましい。   As shown in the above reaction formula, 2 mol of water reacts with 1 mol of borane / ammonia to generate hydrogen, so in order to sufficiently react the borane / ammonia used as a raw material, the amount of water used is It is preferable that the amount be about 2 mol or more per 1 mol of borane / ammonia.

尚、ボラン・アンモニアの水への溶解度は、23℃において約26重量%であり、あらかじめ水溶液とする場合には、飽和濃度までの水溶液を用いることができるが、更に、飽和濃度を超えたボラン・アンモニアを不溶分として含む水溶液を用いても良い。   The solubility of borane / ammonia in water is about 26% by weight at 23 ° C., and when an aqueous solution is prepared in advance, an aqueous solution up to a saturated concentration can be used. An aqueous solution containing ammonia as an insoluble component may be used.

ボラン・アンモニア水溶液におけるボラン・アンモニア濃度の下限についても特に限定はなく、例えば、ボラン・アンモニア濃度が0.1重量%またはそれを下回る非常に低濃度の水溶液を用いることもできる。   The lower limit of the borane / ammonia concentration in the borane / ammonia aqueous solution is also not particularly limited. For example, an aqueous solution having a very low concentration of borane / ammonia concentration of 0.1% by weight or less can be used.

金属担持触媒の使用量については、使用量が多くなると水素発生反応を促進させることができるので、要求される水素発生速度やコストなどを考慮して適宜決めればよい。例えば、該金属担持触媒に担持されている触媒金属の量として、ボラン・アンモニア1モルに対して、0.00001〜5モル程度という広い範囲から選択することが可能である。特に、反応速度、触媒コスト等のバランスを考慮すると、例えば、ボラン・アンモニア1モルに対して該金属担持触媒中に金属成分量を0.0001〜0.1モル程度とすればよい。   The amount of the metal-supported catalyst used can be appropriately determined in consideration of the required hydrogen generation rate, cost, and the like because the hydrogen generation reaction can be promoted as the amount used increases. For example, the amount of catalyst metal supported on the metal-supported catalyst can be selected from a wide range of about 0.00001 to 5 moles per mole of borane / ammonia.
