Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen preparation by hydrocarbon compounds, and particularly relates to a system and a method for producing hydrogen.

Background

The information in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

The national standards of the people's republic of China GB 50177-: water electrolysis, natural gas conversion, methanol conversion, coke oven gas, water gas shift and the like. In view of the field environment and the miniaturization of the apparatus, water electrolysis, natural gas reforming, and methanol reforming are preferable.

At present, natural gas resources in China are in shortage, various hydrocarbon-containing gases or hydrocarbon raw materials generated in the oil refining chemical process are fully utilized, and the method is one of the ways for obtaining cheap hydrogen at the present stage.

For oil refining chemical enterprises, the method for industrially utilizing hydrocarbon compounds, such as natural gas, refinery gas, liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha, to produce hydrogen mainly comprises a hydrocarbon steam reforming method, wherein a tubular reformer and a nickel-based catalyst are used for carrying out a reforming reaction in a water vapor atmosphere, the reaction temperature is usually 480-910 ℃, the water-carbon ratio is more than or equal to 3.0, and the methane content of a process gas at the outlet of the reformer is 4.5-7%; then the process gas passes through a CO shift reactor, PSA separation is carried out to obtain 99.99 percent of high-purity hydrogen, and the obtained hydrogen usually contains CO and CO₂And 2, 10-15ppm in total, can not meet the strict requirements of hydrogen fuel cells on hydrogen (GB T37244-2018 fuel hydrogen for proton exchange membrane fuel cell automobiles).

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for producing hydrogen.

In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:

a method for producing hydrogen comprises the following specific steps:

the method comprises the steps of firstly carrying out hydrogenation reaction and desulfurization on a hydrocarbon raw material, carrying out pre-reforming reaction on the hydrocarbon raw material and steam, carrying out self-heating reaction on the pre-reforming reaction, oxygen and steam contained in the pre-reforming reaction, wherein the oxygen-carbon ratio is 0.1-0.2mol/mol, carrying out conversion reaction after the self-heating reaction, carrying out pressure swing adsorption on mixed gas after the conversion reaction to obtain mixed gas and tail gas of first product hydrogen, and carrying out methanation reaction on the mixed gas of the first product hydrogen after fine desulfurization to obtain final product hydrogen.

Compared with the prior art, the method for producing hydrogen by using hydrocarbon raw materials does not add water vapor in the autothermal reaction process, but uses the water vapor contained in the mixed gas after the pre-reforming reaction to react with hydrocarbon to obtain CO and hydrogen, and the hydrocarbon and the water vapor in the pre-reforming process gas react with the added oxygen to generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and water vapor.

The steam in the autothermal reactor comes from the slight excess steam left after pre-reforming (the pre-reforming water-carbon ratio is usually between 1.5 and 2.0), which is much lower than the usual 2.5 to 3.5 of the autothermal process, so as to achieve the effect of saving energy.

The prior art method can only reduce the PSA yield, generally to about 70%, to make the poison content in the obtained hydrogen meet the standard requirements, thereby causing the cost to be increased and the carbon dioxide emission to be increased. In the present invention, CO and CO are subjected to methanation reaction₂The content is reduced, the purity of the hydrogen in the product is improved, and the PSA can be operated in a parameter interval with high hydrogen extraction rate. The invention improves PSA (pressure swing adsorption) extraction rate, and then reduces CO and CO through methanation process₂The content of the hydrogen gas is increased while the PSA extraction rate is increased.

By the method, the yield of the obtained product hydrogen is more than 90Percent, high-purity hydrogen with the purity of more than 99.98 percent, and CO in the obtained hydrogen₂The content is less than 10 ppb. Can be directly used as hydrogen raw material in fuel cell.

In some embodiments, the catalyst for the hydrogenation reaction is one or more of a nickel molybdenum or cobalt molybdenum nickel catalyst. The hydrogenation process hydrogenates the sulfide and chloride to hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen chloride.

In some embodiments, the reactor inlet temperature for the pre-reforming reaction is 440 ℃ to 630 ℃, and the water to carbon ratio is 1.5 to 2.0.

In some embodiments, the catalyst of the pre-reforming reaction is a nickel-based catalyst. In some embodiments, the pressure of the pre-reforming reaction is from 1.5 to 2.6 MPa. The pressure range is beneficial for increasing the hydrogen yield of the PSA. In some embodiments, the process gas at the reactor outlet of the pre-reforming reaction is mainly composed of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen. The pre-conversion process is beneficial to the process gas heat after the autothermal reactor on one hand, and the purpose of energy conservation is achieved. On the one hand, the higher hydrocarbon in the hydrocarbon raw material is completely converted into carbon one (with the composition of CH)₄、CO、CO₂、H₂) So as to simplify the hydrocarbon steam reforming reaction in the subsequent reactor (the natural gas reforming has low requirement on the catalyst and is not easy to form carbon in the reaction process).

In some embodiments, the oxygen in the process of autothermal reaction is air, oxygen-enriched air, or pure oxygen. In some embodiments, the reactor inlet temperature for the autothermal reaction is typically 1250-. In some embodiments, the process gas after autothermal reaction has a major component of methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen.

The amount of heat required to effect the steam reaction per mole of hydrocarbon is fixed. Compared with the conventional hydrocarbon steam reforming process, the conventional reforming furnace is adopted, and fuel is used for supplying reaction heat; autothermal combustion is a combustion reaction of oxygen and some of the hydrocarbons, CO, hydrogen, producing a large amount of heat which is used to provide heat for the subsequent reactions.

The reaction temperature of the autothermal reaction depends on the amount of oxygen and the water-to-carbon ratio. The conversion of hydrocarbons by autothermal reaction depends on temperature, water-to-carbon ratio and pressure. The water to carbon ratio of the present invention is lower than the conventional autothermal process parameters, resulting in a lower hydrocarbon conversion than the conventional autothermal process, so the exit methane content is slightly higher (near 0.5% V/V at the end).

In some embodiments, the reactor outlet carbon monoxide volume content of the shift reaction is 2% or less.

In some embodiments, the catalyst for fine desulfurization is a copper-based desulfurization catalyst. Copper-based catalysts have the ability to desulfurize and dechlorinate. The content of sulfur and chlorine after fine desulfurization is less than or equal to 4 ppb. In some embodiments, the catalyst of the methanation process is a nickel-based methane catalyst. In some embodiments, the inlet temperature for the methanation reaction is 310-.

A system for producing hydrogen comprises a hydrogenation reactor, a desulfurization tank, a pre-reforming reactor, an autothermal reactor, a shift reactor, a pressure swing adsorption device, a fine desulfurization device and a methanation reactor, wherein hydrocarbon raw materials enter the hydrogenation reactor, the hydrogenation reactor is sequentially connected with the desulfurization tank, the pre-reforming reactor, the autothermal reactor, the shift reactor, the pressure swing adsorption device, the fine desulfurization device and the methanation reactor, water vapor is introduced into the pre-reforming reactor, and oxygen is introduced into the autothermal reactor.

The hydrocarbon raw material comprises natural gas, refinery gas, liquefied petroleum gas or naphtha, and compared with the existing hydrocarbon steam conversion system, the purity of the hydrogen is improved, and CO in the product hydrogen are₂The content is reduced, and the fuel meets GB T37244 and 2018, and can be used for hydrogen fuel cells.

Compared with the existing system for preparing hydrogen, the system for producing hydrogen has the advantages that the autothermal reactor is additionally arranged in front of the shift reactor, and the fine desulfurization and methanation reactors are additionally arranged behind the pressure swing adsorption device.

Most hydrocarbons in autothermal reactor are converted into CO and CO₂And H₂Compared with the existing system for preparing hydrogen, the autothermal reactor does not reintroduce the water vapor raw material, and only introduces oxygen as the raw material for the autothermal reaction.

In some embodiments, the upper section of the hydrogenation reactor uses a nickel molybdenum or cobalt molybdenum nickel catalyst and the lower section uses a cobalt molybdenum catalyst. The hydrocarbon raw material is hydrogenated by the hydrogenation reactor through the upper section and the lower section respectively, so that the hydrogenation precision is improved.

In some embodiments, the desulfurization tank is divided into a first desulfurization tank and a second desulfurization tank, and the hydrogenation reactor is connected with the first desulfurization tank and the second desulfurization tank in sequence. Preferably, the first desulfurization tank is filled with a dechlorinating agent and a zinc oxide desulfurizer, and the filling volume ratio of the dechlorinating agent to the zinc oxide desulfurizer is 1: 3-5. The second desulfurization tank is filled with zinc oxide desulfurizer. The hydrocarbon raw material is hydrogenated, and then dechlorinated and desulfurized to remove sulfur and chlorine in the hydrocarbon raw material.

In some embodiments, the inlet temperature of the pre-reforming reaction is 380 ℃ and 630 ℃, and the outlet temperature is controlled to be less than or equal to 520 ℃. The purpose of controlling the inlet temperature of the pre-conversion reactor is to ensure the pre-conversion efficiency and improve the conversion rate of the hydrocarbons.

The inlet temperature control of the pre-conversion reactor is related to the raw material, and when the raw material is natural gas, the inlet temperature can be controlled to be less than or equal to 630 ℃; when the raw material is higher hydrocarbon such as refinery gas, naphtha and the like, the inlet temperature can be controlled at 380-450 ℃. The outlet temperature is controlled by the reaction. For natural gas feedstocks, the outlet temperature is typically between 420 and 450 ℃; for higher hydrocarbons such as refinery gases, naphtha, etc., the outlet temperature is typically between 460 ℃ and 500 ℃.

In some embodiments, the outlet temperature of the autothermal reactor is 910-. The reaction in the autothermal reactor is a process in which the hydrocarbon compound reacts with oxygen and steam, and is different from the prior art (tubular reformer) in which the hydrocarbon compound simply reacts with steam. Controlling the reaction temperature is different and controlling the outlet temperature in this range in the present invention can contribute to the reaction efficiency of the autothermal reaction process.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:

the invention provides a hydrogen production method, which expands the range of converted raw materials by means of a combined mode of pre-conversion and self-heating conversion, improves the conversion rate of methane and reduces the production cost of hydrogen under the condition of lower water-carbon ratio; by means of the combination of pressure swing adsorption, fine desulfurization and methanation processes, high-quality hydrogen meeting the requirements of the hydrogen fuel cell is obtained in a relatively low-cost mode.

The hydrogen production method of the invention removes higher hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, so that the final impurity content is reduced to meet the national standard requirement of hydrogen of the hydrogen fuel cell; firstly, removing a part of higher hydrocarbon, then utilizing oxygen and water vapor to simultaneously carry out autothermal reforming reaction with the hydrocarbon, improving the conversion rate of the hydrocarbon, and then carrying out fine desulfurization and methanation to remove the toxic substances harmful to the hydrogen fuel cell.

The hydrocarbon steam conversion is a common process for preparing hydrogen by utilizing gaseous hydrocarbon and liquid hydrocarbon, and the common processes are hydrogenation, desulfurization, ppb-level desulfurization (optional), pre-conversion (optional), conversion, transformation and PSA purification. By using the process flow, 99.99 percent of high-purity hydrogen can be obtained, the hydrogen yield can be more than 90 percent, but CO and CO in the obtained hydrogen are obtained at the moment₂The content exceeds the specified range of GB T37244-2018, and the hydrogen fuel cell can not be directly used for the hydrogen fuel cell. If the hydrogen with the poison content meeting GB T37244-2018 is directly obtained by the process, the PSA yield needs to be reduced, the hydrogen yield of the PSA is reduced to about 70 percent through measurement and laboratory verification, and the poison content of the obtained hydrogen can meet the standard requirement. This results in increased hydrogen acquisition costs and increased carbon dioxide emissions.

By utilizing the process, the hydrogen yield of PSA can be kept above 90% and the purity of the hydrogen produced by PSA is 99.99% when the hydrogen is produced daily. By means of the copper-based desulfurizer in the step (5), poisonous substances in the hydrogen can be removed, and by means of methanation reaction, CO and CO in the hydrogen are removed₂And the methane is converted into methane, so that the effect of purifying hydrogen is achieved, the hydrogen yield of the device can be kept to be more than 90%, and the hydrogen cost is effectively reduced.
