Researches show that the energy discharged by the motor vehicle in the form of waste heat accounts for 55% -80% of the total energy of the fuel, so that the waste heat recovery and utilization of tail gas are very important for improving the fuel utilization rate and saving energy. In the face of urgent energy crisis, hydrogen fuel cell automobiles have very broad prospects. The existing fuel cell automobile generally adopts a high-pressure hydrogen storage mode to carry hydrogen on the automobile, so that not only is the filling difficult, but also the hidden danger of leakage and explosion in accidents exists when a large amount of hydrogen is carried. The method for preparing hydrogen on site well solves the problems. Method for obtaining hydrogen by comprehensive comparison and reforming methanolHydrogen production has the unique advantage. The hydrogen producing process with methanol reforming includes the steps of preparing methanol at 250-300 deg.c, 1-5MPa and water-alcohol ratio of 1-5 in the presence of Cu/Al catalyst 2 O 3 The following multi-component complex reactions occur, mainly comprising:
steam reforming reaction:
methanol decomposition reaction:
and (3) carrying out water vapor reverse transformation reaction:
the way in which methanol is reformed to produce hydrogen generally has several advantages: from the reactant point of view: firstly, the source way of the methanol is wide, and the methanol can be obtained from the traditional fossil energy source by processing and can also be obtained from biomass such as animals, plants and the like. Second, the hydrogen production efficiency of methanol reforming hydrogen production is higher and fewer impurities are present than other hydrogen production methods. From the perspective of the hydrogen production process: the methanol reforming hydrogen production process is mature, the operation is simple, and the reaction is safe. From a device perspective: the reaction temperature of the methanol reforming hydrogen production is low, and the required pressure is not high, so that the requirement on a reaction device is not high, and the method is safer to use on automobiles.
H produced by reforming reactor 2 And a small amount of CO 2 And separating by a palladium membrane to obtain high-purity hydrogen. During the entire reforming reaction, both methanol and water as reactants must remain in the gaseous state. In addition, the methanol steam reforming hydrogen production is a strong endothermic reaction, and the exterior must provide continuous heat supply. The energy discharged by the automobile tail gas in the form of waste heat accounts for 55% -80% of the total energy, meanwhile, the flow is sufficient, the temperature is up to 500 ℃ -700 ℃, and the waste heat of the automobile tail gas is utilized to supply heat for the reaction to completely meet the reaction condition; meanwhile, clean hydrogen is generated by reaction, and the clean hydrogen can be directly fed into an internal combustion engine for combustion, so that the combustion efficiency is improved, and the pollutant emission is reduced. At present, most of methanol reforming hydrogen production reactorsThe external heat supply mode is adopted, so that the device is complex in structure and wastes a large amount of energy.
