【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油用脱硫剤及び燃料電池用水素の製造方法に関し、さらに詳しくは、有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油中の硫黄分を1ppm以下まで効率よく除去することができ、かつ寿命の長い有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油用脱硫剤、及びこの脱硫剤を用いて脱硫処理された有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油を、部分酸化改質処理、オートサーマル改質処理又は水蒸気改質処理し、燃料電池用水素を製造する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、環境問題から新エネルギー技術が脚光を浴びており、この新エネルギー技術の一つとして燃料電池が注目を集めている。この燃料電池は、水素と酸素を電気化学的に反応させることにより、化学エネルギーを電気エネルギーに変換させるものであって、エネルギーの利用効率が高いという特長を有しており、民生用、産業用あるいは自動車用などとして、実用化研究が積極的になされている。
【0003】
この燃料電池には、使用する電解質の種類に応じて、リン酸型、溶融炭酸塩型、固体酸化物型、固体高分子型などのタイプが知られている。一方、水素源としては、メタノール、メタンを主体とする液化天然ガス、この天然ガスを主成分とする都市ガス、天然ガスを原料とする合成液体燃料(GTL)、バイオフューエル(植物油メチルエステル類等)、廃プラスチック油、さらには石油系のナフサ、ガソリン、灯油などの石油系炭化水素油の使用の研究がなされている。
【0004】
燃料電池を民生用や自動車用などに利用する場合、上記石油系炭化水素油は、保管及び取扱いが容易である上、ガソリンスタンドや販売店など、供給システムが整備されていることから、水素源として有利である。
しかしながら、石油系炭化水素油は、メタノールや天然ガス系のものに比べて、硫黄分の含有量が多いという問題がある。また、GTL、バイオフューエル、廃プラスチック油などの燃料油も、輸送や保管中に硫黄分が混入する可能性がある。このような有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油を用いて水素を製造する場合、一般に、該燃料油を、改質触媒の存在下に水蒸気改質処理、部分酸化改質処理又はオートサーマル改質処理する方法が用いられる。このような改質処理においては、上記改質触媒は、燃料油中の硫黄分により被毒されるため、触媒寿命の点から、燃料油中の硫黄分を、通常1ppm以下に脱硫処理する必要がある。
【0005】
石油留分の脱硫方法として、硫黄化合物の一部を活性炭やゼオライトを用いて物理吸着により除去する方法が知られている(米国特許4188285号公報、特開平3−128989号公報、特開平6−154615号公報、米国特許5482617号公報、米国特許5807475号公報、国際公開98/51762号公報、米国特許5935422号公報等)。しかしながら、活性炭やゼオライトは硫黄化合物に対する吸着性能が低く、また、寿命の面で実用的なレベルに到っていない。
【0006】
また、米国特許5114689号公報、特表平7−504214号公報には、物理吸着により硫黄化合物の一部を除去した石油留分を更に別の脱硫剤と接触させる方法が開示されている。しかしながら、物理吸着により硫黄化合物の一部を除去した後に、水素存在下で、高温(250〜450℃)、高圧(15〜500psig)での処理を必要とし、複雑なシステムを構築する必要があり、燃料電池用水素製造法として効率が低く、実用なレベルに到っていない。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記状況下でなされたもので、有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油中の硫黄分を1ppm以下まで効率よく除去することができ、かつ寿命も長い有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油用脱硫剤、及びこの脱硫剤を用いて脱硫処理された有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油を部分酸化改質処理、オートサーマル改質処理又は水蒸気改質処理し、燃料電池用水素を製造する方法を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、前記目的を達成するために鋭意研究を重ねた結果、細孔直径が数〜数十Åの多孔性担体に銀を担持した脱硫剤が、灯油中の硫黄化合物の対象物として設定したアルキルジベンゾチオフェン類を選択的に吸着除去することを見出した。

担体上に銀を担持してなる予備脱硫剤を用いて、温度−40〜100℃、圧力常圧〜1MPa(G)で有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油を脱硫した後、ニッケル、クロム、マンガン、鉄、コバルト、銅、亜鉛、パラジウム、イリジウム、白金、ルテニウム、ロジウム及び金から選ばれる少なくとも一種を含む第2の脱硫剤を用いて、温度40〜250℃で有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油を脱硫した後、部分酸化改質触媒、オートサーマル改質触媒、又は水蒸気改質触媒と接触させることを特徴とする燃料電池用水素の製造方法。

.部分酸化改質触媒、オートサーマル改質触媒又は水蒸気改質触媒が、ルテニウム系触媒又はニッケル系触媒である前記のいずれかに記載の燃料電池用水素の製造方法。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明について詳細に説明する。
本発明の有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油用脱硫剤は、担体に銀を担持したものである。
担持される銀化合物として、硝酸銀、フッ化銀、塩化銀、酢酸銀、炭酸銀等を挙げることができる。中でも、入手のし易さと取扱い易さの点で硝酸銀が好ましい。
【0011】
本発明における担体としては、多孔質担体が好ましい。具体的に、シリカ、アルミナ、シリカ−アルミナ、ゼオライト、チタニア、ジルコニア、マグネシア、酸化亜鉛、白土、粘土、珪藻土、活性炭などを挙げることができ、単独でも、二種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。これらの中で、特にシリカ−アルミナ、アルミナが好ましい。
【0012】
本発明においては、銀の担持量は、脱硫剤全量に基づき、金属銀として0.5〜50質量%が好ましい。0.5質量未満であると、充分な脱硫性能が発揮されないおそれがある。50質量%を超えると、担持した銀の粒子径が増大し充分な脱硫性能が発揮されないおそれがあり好ましくない。より好ましくは、3〜30質量%の範囲である。
【0013】
担体への銀の担持方法については特に制限はなく、含浸法、共沈法、混練法、物理混合法、蒸着法、イオン交換法などの公知の方法を採用することができる。
中でも、含浸法、共沈法が好ましい。
本発明の脱硫剤の形状については、粉末状、粉砕状、ペレット状、錠剤状、ハニカム状を好適に挙げることができる。また、粉末を他のハニカムにコーティングしたものも、好適に用いることができる。
【0014】
本発明の脱硫剤は、有機硫黄化合物含有燃料油(以下、単に燃料油という。)の脱硫剤として用いられる。燃料油として特に制限はなく、天然ガス、アルコール、エーテル、LPG、ナフサ、ガソリン、灯油、軽油、重油、アスファルテン油、オイルサンド油、石炭液化油、石油系重質油、シェールオイル、GTL、廃プラスチック油、バイオフューエルなどを好適に挙げることができる。中でも灯油が好ましく、灯油の中でも、硫黄分含有量が80ppm以下のJIS1号灯油に適用するのが特に好ましい。このJIS1号灯油は、原油を常圧蒸留して得られた粗灯油を脱硫することにより得られる。該灯油は、そのままではJIS1号灯油とはならず、硫黄分を低減させる必要がある。この硫黄分を低減させる方法としては、一般に工業的に実施されている水素化精製法で脱硫処理するのが好ましい。
【0015】
本発明の脱硫剤を用いて、燃料油を脱硫する方法としては特に制限はなく、脱硫剤が充填された脱硫塔に燃料油を流通させる方法、脱硫剤を内部に固定したタンクなどの容器に燃料油を静置または攪拌する方法を好適に採用することができる。その場合、脱硫剤を使用する温度は、−40〜100℃の範囲が好ましい。−40℃未満では、燃料油の流動性が低下する場合があり、100℃を超えると、脱硫剤の吸着能が低下する場合があり好ましくない。より好ましくは、−20〜80℃の範囲である。また、脱硫剤を使用する圧力は、常圧〜1MPa(G)程度である。
【0016】
更に、本発明においては、本発明の脱硫剤を予備脱硫剤として用い、その後に第2の脱硫剤を使用することにより、燃料油の吸着脱硫を効率的に行うことができる。すなわち、第2の脱硫剤の吸着脱硫の温度低減又は破過時間の延長が可能となる。
該第2の脱硫剤としては特に制限はなく、予備脱硫剤以外の吸着脱硫剤又は水素化脱硫触媒を使用してもよい。その吸着脱硫剤として特に制限はなく、ニッケル、クロム、マンガン、鉄、コバルト、銅、亜鉛、パラジウム、イリジウム、白金、ルテニウム、ロジウム及び金から選ばれる少なくとも一種を含むものを挙げることができ、中でもそれらの金属が多孔質担体に担持されたものが好ましい。その多孔質担体として、前記のものを挙げることができる。特に、少なくともニッケルを含む金属が多孔質担体に担持されたものが好ましい。これらの吸着脱硫剤は予め水素還元することにより、脱硫性能を向上させることができる。また、水素化脱硫触媒を第2の脱硫剤として使用する場合には、水素を少量添加してもよい。なお、第2の脱硫剤を使用する温度は、40〜250℃が好ましい。
【0017】
第2の脱硫剤による脱硫方法としては、予備脱硫剤により脱硫された燃料油を直接第2の脱硫剤と接触させる方法が好ましい。また、別の場所で予備脱硫剤により燃料油を脱硫しておき、改質反応する直前に第2の脱硫剤と接触させてもよい。
本願の第二発明である燃料電池用水素の製造方法は、このようにして脱硫処理した燃料油を、部分酸化改質触媒、オートサーマル改質触媒又は水蒸気改質触媒(以下、全てをまとめて、単に改質触媒ということもある。)と接触させることにより、水素を製造する方法である。
【0018】
本発明の方法において用いられる改質触媒としては特に制限はなく、従来から炭化水素の改質触媒として知られている公知のものの中から、任意のものを適宜選択して用いることができる。このような改質触媒としては、例えば適当な担体にニッケルやジルコニウム、あるいはルテニウム、ロジウム、白金などの貴金属を担持したものを挙げることができる。上記担持金属は一種でもよく、二種以上を組み合わせてもよい。これらの触媒の中で、ニッケルを担持させたもの(以下、ニッケル系触媒という。)とルテニウムを担持させたもの(以下、ルテニウム系触媒という。)が好ましく、部分酸化改質、オートサーマル改質又は水蒸気改質反応中の炭素析出を抑制する効果が大きい。
【0019】
このニッケル系触媒の場合、ニッケルの担持量は担体基準で3〜60質量%の範囲が好ましい。この担持量が3質量%未満では、部分酸化改質、オートサーマル改質又は水蒸気改質の活性が充分に発揮されないおそれがあり、一方、60質量%を超えると、その担持量に見合った触媒活性の向上効果があまり認められず、むしろ経済的に不利となる。触媒活性及び経済性などを考慮すると、このニッケルのより好ましい担持量は5〜50質量%であり、特に10〜30質量%の範囲が好ましい。
【0020】
また、ルテニウム系触媒の場合、ルテニウムの担持量は担体基準で0.05〜20質量%の範囲が好ましい。この担持量が0.05質量%未満では、部分酸化改質、オートサーマル改質又は水蒸気改質の活性が充分に発揮されないおそれがあり、一方、20質量%を超えると、その担持量に見合った触媒活性の向上効果があまり認められず、むしろ経済的に不利となる。触媒活性及び経済性などを考慮すると、このルテニウムのより好ましい担持量は0.05〜15質量%であり、特に0.1〜2質量%の範囲が好ましい。
【0021】
部分酸化改質処理における反応条件としては、通常、圧力は常圧〜5MPa、温度は400〜1,100℃、酸素(O2 )/カーボン(モル比)は0.2〜0.8、液時空間速度(LHSV)は0.1〜100hr-1の条件が採用される。
また、オートサーマル改質処理における反応条件としては、通常、圧力は常圧〜5MPa、温度は400〜1,100℃、スチーム/カーボン(モル比)は0.1〜10、酸素(O2 )/カーボン(モル比)は0.1〜1、液時空間速度(LHSV)は0.1〜2hr-1、ガス時空間速度(GHSV)は1,000〜100,000hr-1の条件が採用される。
【0022】
さらに、水蒸気改質処理における反応条件としては、水蒸気と燃料油に由来する炭素との比スチーム/カーボン(モル比)は、通常1.5〜10、好ましくは1.5〜5、より好ましくは2〜4の範囲で選定される。スチーム/カーボン(モル比)が1.5未満では、水素の生成量が低下するおそれがあり、また10を超えると、過剰の水蒸気を必要とし、熱ロスが大きく、水素製造の効率が低下するので好ましくない。
【0023】
また、水蒸気改質触媒層の入口温度を630℃以下、さらには600℃以下に保って水蒸気改質を行うのが好ましい。入口温度が630℃を超えると、燃料油の熱分解が促進され、生成したラジカルを経由して触媒あるいは反応管壁に炭素が析出して、運転が困難になる場合がある。なお、触媒層出口温度は特に制限はないが、650〜800℃の範囲が好ましい。650℃未満では水素の生成量が充分でないおそれがあり、800℃を超えると、反応装置は耐熱材料を必要とする場合があり、経済的に好ましくない。
【0024】
反応圧力は、通常、常圧〜3MPa(G)、好ましくは常圧〜1Ma(G)の範囲であり、また、LHSVは、通常0.1〜100hr-1、好ましくは0.2〜50hr-1の範囲である。
上記水素の製造方法においては、上記部分酸化改質、オートサーマル改質又は水蒸気改質により得られるCOが水素生成に悪影響を及ぼすため、これを反応によりCO2 としてCOを除くことが好ましい。
このようにして、燃料電池用水素を効率よく製造することができる。
【0025】

次に、本発明を実施例により具体的に説明するが、これらの実施例になんら制限されるものではない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing an organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil desulfurization agent and a fuel cell hydrogen, and more specifically, the sulfur content in the organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil can be efficiently removed to 1 ppm or less, and A long-life organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil desulfurization agent, and an organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil desulfurized using the desulfurization agent, are subjected to partial oxidation reforming treatment, autothermal reforming treatment, or steam reforming treatment, The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen for fuel cells.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, new energy technology has attracted attention due to environmental problems, and fuel cells are attracting attention as one of the new energy technologies. This fuel cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy by electrochemically reacting hydrogen and oxygen, and has the feature of high energy use efficiency. Alternatively, research into practical use is actively conducted for automobiles and the like.
[0003]
For this fuel cell, types such as a phosphoric acid type, a molten carbonate type, a solid oxide type, and a solid polymer type are known depending on the type of electrolyte used. On the other hand, as a hydrogen source, liquefied natural gas mainly composed of methanol and methane, city gas mainly composed of this natural gas, synthetic liquid fuel (GTL) using natural gas as a raw material, biofuel (vegetable oil methyl esters, etc.) ), Research on the use of waste plastic oil, and petroleum hydrocarbon oils such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline and kerosene.
[0004]
When fuel cells are used for consumer and automobile applications, the petroleum hydrocarbon oils are easy to store and handle, and supply systems such as gas stations and dealers have been established. As advantageous.
However, petroleum-based hydrocarbon oil has a problem that the content of sulfur is higher than that of methanol or natural gas. In addition, fuel oils such as GTL, biofuel, and waste plastic oil may be mixed with sulfur during transportation and storage. When producing hydrogen using such an organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil, generally, a method of subjecting the fuel oil to steam reforming treatment, partial oxidation reforming treatment or autothermal reforming treatment in the presence of a reforming catalyst Is used. In such a reforming treatment, the reforming catalyst is poisoned by the sulfur content in the fuel oil, so that the sulfur content in the fuel oil is usually desulfurized to 1 ppm or less from the viewpoint of catalyst life. There is.
[0005]
As a method for desulfurization of petroleum fractions, methods are known in which a part of sulfur compounds is removed by physical adsorption using activated carbon or zeolite (US Pat. No. 4,188,285, JP-A-3-128899, JP-A-6-6 No. 154615, US Pat. No. 5,482,617, US Pat. No. 5,807,475, WO 98/51762, US Pat. No. 5,935,422). However, activated carbon and zeolite have low adsorption performance for sulfur compounds, and have not reached a practical level in terms of life.
[0006]
In addition, US Pat. No. 5,114,689 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-504214 disclose a method in which a petroleum fraction from which a part of a sulfur compound has been removed by physical adsorption is brought into contact with another desulfurization agent. However, after removing a part of the sulfur compound by physical adsorption, it is necessary to construct a complicated system that requires treatment at high temperature (250 to 450 ° C.) and high pressure (15 to 500 psig) in the presence of hydrogen. As a hydrogen production method for fuel cells, the efficiency is low and it has not reached a practical level.
[0007]

It was found that the alkyldibenzothiophenes set as as follows can be selectively adsorbed and removed.
[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is described in detail below.
The organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil desulfurizing agent of the present invention is a carrier in which silver is supported.
Examples of the supported silver compound include silver nitrate, silver fluoride, silver chloride, silver acetate, and silver carbonate. Among these, silver nitrate is preferable in terms of easy availability and handling.
[0011]
As the carrier in the present invention, a porous carrier is preferable. Specific examples include silica, alumina, silica-alumina, zeolite, titania, zirconia, magnesia, zinc oxide, white clay, clay, diatomaceous earth, activated carbon and the like, and may be used alone or in combination of two or more. . Among these, silica-alumina and alumina are particularly preferable.
[0012]
In the present invention, the supported amount of silver is preferably 0.5 to 50% by mass as metallic silver based on the total amount of the desulfurizing agent. If the amount is less than 0.5 mass, sufficient desulfurization performance may not be exhibited. If it exceeds 50% by mass, the particle diameter of the supported silver is increased, so that sufficient desulfurization performance may not be exhibited, which is not preferable. More preferably, it is the range of 3-30 mass%.
[0013]
The method for supporting silver on the carrier is not particularly limited, and known methods such as an impregnation method, a coprecipitation method, a kneading method, a physical mixing method, a vapor deposition method, and an ion exchange method can be employed.
Of these, the impregnation method and the coprecipitation method are preferable.
As for the shape of the desulfurizing agent of the present invention, a powder shape, a pulverized shape, a pellet shape, a tablet shape, and a honeycomb shape can be preferably exemplified. Moreover, what coated the powder on the other honeycomb can also be used suitably.
[0014]
The desulfurizing agent of the present invention is used as a desulfurizing agent for organic sulfur compound-containing fuel oil (hereinafter simply referred to as fuel oil). There is no particular restriction as fuel oil, natural gas, alcohol, ether, LPG, naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, light oil, heavy oil, asphaltene oil, oil sand oil, coal liquefied oil, petroleum heavy oil, shale oil, GTL, waste Preferred examples include plastic oil and biofuel. Among them, kerosene is preferable, and among kerosene, it is particularly preferable to apply to JIS No. 1 kerosene having a sulfur content of 80 ppm or less. This JIS No. 1 kerosene is obtained by desulfurizing crude kerosene obtained by atmospheric distillation of crude oil. The kerosene as such is not JIS No. 1 kerosene, and it is necessary to reduce the sulfur content. As a method for reducing the sulfur content, it is preferable to perform a desulfurization treatment by a hydrorefining method which is generally carried out industrially.
[0015]
The method for desulfurizing fuel oil using the desulfurizing agent of the present invention is not particularly limited, and a method for circulating fuel oil through a desulfurization tower filled with the desulfurizing agent, or a container such as a tank having the desulfurizing agent fixed therein. A method of allowing the fuel oil to stand or stir can be suitably employed. In that case, the temperature at which the desulfurizing agent is used is preferably in the range of -40 to 100 ° C. If it is less than -40 degreeC, the fluidity | liquidity of a fuel oil may fall, and if it exceeds 100 degreeC, the adsorption capacity of a desulfurization agent may fall and it is unpreferable. More preferably, it is the range of -20-80 degreeC. The pressure at which the desulfurizing agent is used is about normal pressure to 1 MPa (G).
[0016]
Furthermore, in the present invention, by using the desulfurizing agent of the present invention as a preliminary desulfurizing agent and then using the second desulfurizing agent, the adsorption desulfurization of the fuel oil can be efficiently performed. That is, the temperature of the adsorption desulfurization of the second desulfurizing agent can be reduced or the breakthrough time can be extended.
There is no restriction | limiting in particular as this 2nd desulfurization agent, You may use adsorption desulfurization agents other than a predesulfurization agent, or a hydrodesulfurization catalyst. The adsorptive desulfurization agent is not particularly limited, and examples include those containing at least one selected from nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, palladium, iridium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium and gold. It is preferable that these metals are supported on a porous carrier. Examples of the porous carrier include those mentioned above. In particular, a material in which a metal containing at least nickel is supported on a porous carrier is preferable. These adsorptive desulfurization agents can improve the desulfurization performance by hydrogen reduction in advance. Moreover, when using a hydrodesulfurization catalyst as a 2nd desulfurization agent, you may add a small amount of hydrogen. In addition, as for the temperature which uses a 2nd desulfurization agent, 40-250 degreeC is preferable.
[0017]
As the desulfurization method using the second desulfurizing agent, a method in which the fuel oil desulfurized by the preliminary desulfurizing agent is directly brought into contact with the second desulfurizing agent is preferable. Alternatively, the fuel oil may be desulfurized with a preliminary desulfurization agent at another location and contacted with the second desulfurization agent immediately before the reforming reaction.
The method for producing hydrogen for a fuel cell according to the second invention of the present application is based on a partial oxidation reforming catalyst, an autothermal reforming catalyst or a steam reforming catalyst (hereinafter, all together) In some cases, hydrogen is produced by contacting with a reforming catalyst.
[0018]
There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a reforming catalyst used in the method of this invention, Arbitrary things can be suitably selected and used from the well-known things conventionally known as a hydrocarbon reforming catalyst. As such a reforming catalyst, for example, a catalyst in which noble metal such as nickel, zirconium, ruthenium, rhodium or platinum is supported on a suitable carrier can be exemplified. The supported metal may be one kind or a combination of two or more kinds. Among these catalysts, those supporting nickel (hereinafter referred to as nickel-based catalyst) and those supporting ruthenium (hereinafter referred to as ruthenium-based catalyst) are preferable. Partial oxidation reforming and autothermal reforming Or the effect which suppresses carbon precipitation during steam reforming reaction is large.
[0019]
In the case of this nickel-based catalyst, the supported amount of nickel is preferably in the range of 3 to 60% by mass based on the carrier. If the supported amount is less than 3% by mass, the activity of partial oxidation reforming, autothermal reforming or steam reforming may not be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the supported amount exceeds 60% by mass, a catalyst corresponding to the supported amount is obtained. The activity improvement effect is not recognized so much, but it is economically disadvantageous. Considering catalytic activity and economy, the more preferable loading of nickel is 5 to 50% by mass, and particularly preferably 10 to 30% by mass.
[0020]
In the case of a ruthenium-based catalyst, the supported amount of ruthenium is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 20% by mass based on the carrier. If the supported amount is less than 0.05% by mass, the activity of partial oxidation reforming, autothermal reforming or steam reforming may not be sufficiently exerted. On the other hand, if it exceeds 20% by mass, the supported amount is met. In addition, the improvement in catalytic activity is not recognized so much, which is disadvantageous economically. Considering catalytic activity and economy, the more preferable loading of ruthenium is 0.05 to 15% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 2% by mass.
[0021]
As reaction conditions in the partial oxidation reforming treatment, the pressure is usually normal pressure to 5 MPa, the temperature is 400 to 1,100 ° C., the oxygen (O 2 ) / carbon (molar ratio) is 0.2 to 0.8, and the liquid The space-time velocity (LHSV) is 0.1 to 100 hr −1 .
As reaction conditions in the autothermal reforming treatment, the pressure is usually normal pressure to 5 MPa, the temperature is 400 to 1,100 ° C., the steam / carbon (molar ratio) is 0.1 to 10, and oxygen (O 2 ). / Carbon (molar ratio) is 0.1 to 1, liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) is 0.1 to 2 hr -1 , and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) is 1,000 to 100,000 hr -1. Is done.
[0022]
Furthermore, as the reaction conditions in the steam reforming treatment, the specific steam / carbon (molar ratio) between the steam and the carbon derived from the fuel oil is usually 1.5 to 10, preferably 1.5 to 5, more preferably It is selected in the range of 2-4. If the steam / carbon (molar ratio) is less than 1.5, the amount of hydrogen produced may be reduced. If the steam / carbon (molar ratio) exceeds 10, excessive steam is required, heat loss is large, and the efficiency of hydrogen production decreases. Therefore, it is not preferable.
[0023]
Further, it is preferable to perform the steam reforming while keeping the inlet temperature of the steam reforming catalyst layer at 630 ° C. or lower, more preferably 600 ° C. or lower. When the inlet temperature exceeds 630 ° C., thermal decomposition of the fuel oil is promoted, and carbon may be deposited on the catalyst or the reaction tube wall via the generated radicals, which may make operation difficult. The catalyst layer outlet temperature is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 650 to 800 ° C. If it is less than 650 ° C., the amount of hydrogen produced may not be sufficient. If it exceeds 800 ° C., the reaction apparatus may require a heat-resistant material, which is not economically preferable.
[0024]
The reaction pressure is usually in the range of normal pressure to 3 MPa (G), preferably normal pressure to 1 Ma (G), and LHSV is usually 0.1 to 100 hr −1 , preferably 0.2 to 50 hr −. A range of 1 .
In the method for producing hydrogen, CO obtained by the partial oxidation reforming, autothermal reforming or steam reforming adversely affects the hydrogen production, and it is preferable to remove CO as CO 2 by reaction.
In this way, hydrogen for fuel cells can be produced efficiently.
