Technical Field
The invention relates to a methanol reforming hydrogen production reactor, in particular to an autothermal methanol reforming hydrogen production reactor integrated with CO selective methanation.
Technical Field
Energy is the basis on which human society depends on survival and continuous development. Since the 21 st century, China is facing severe energy crisis and environmental crisis, and therefore the development of clean energy is imperative. Among them, hydrogen energy has a high combustion heat value and the combustion product is water, which is called the most ideal clean energy.
Hydrogen fuel cells are one of the primary ways in which hydrogen energy can be utilized. Because the fuel cell is not limited by Carnot cycle, the direct generating efficiency reaches more than 45%, and the generating efficiency of the cogeneration system can reach 90%. The hydrogen energy also has the characteristics of environmental friendliness, long service life and the like. The novel energy automobile has wide market space in the fields of new energy automobiles, trams, unmanned planes, distributed power supplies and the like.
However, the current commercialization of hydrogen energy economy is limited by the current state of the art for mobile hydrogen storage. The existing mobile hydrogen storage technology has certain gap from commercial application in the aspects of mass energy density, volume energy density, cost and the like. The hydrogen storage problem in mobile applications has severely hampered the use of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) in mobile applications. The methanol steam on-site reforming hydrogen production technology provides an effective solution for the hydrogen supply problem of mobile hydrogen energy application.

In the two technical schemes, an oxidant is required to be introduced in the CO selective oxidation scheme, so that the complexity of a hydrogen production system is increased; air is used as a common oxidant, and the nitrogen gas dilutes the content of hydrogen in the product gas. In the palladium membrane separation technology, a pressure difference needs to be provided on two sides of the palladium membrane, so that the complexity of the system is increased, and the requirement on the air tightness of the system is high.

The working principle of the invention is as follows:
the self-heating methanol reforming hydrogen production reactor integrating CO selective methanation has 3 gas circuits in total: catalytic combustion of methanol, reforming of methanol water vapor and selective methanation of CO.
The gas circuit of the 1 st path is used for methanol catalytic combustion, methanol and air enter the methanol catalytic combustion plate 5 from a methanol catalytic combustion reactant inlet 11 of the upper cover plate 1 through the upper heat exchange plate 2, the heat exchange plate interlayer 3 and the evaporation plate 4, heat released in the catalytic combustion reaction supplies heat for endothermic reaction in the reactor, and the working temperature required by the reactor is maintained.
The 2 nd gas path is used for reforming methanol water vapor, methanol water solution enters the heat exchange plate 2 from a methanol water vapor reforming reactant inlet 12 of the upper cover plate 1 and enters the evaporation plate 4 through the partition plate 3 to complete the vaporization and preheating of reactants; then enters a methanol water vapor reforming plate 6 through a methanol catalytic combustion plate 5, and generates a methanol water vapor reforming reaction in the methanol water vapor reforming plate to generate hydrogen-rich reformed gas required by the fuel cell; in the process of reforming methanol water vapor, 0.5-2% of CO impurity gas is generated due to the existence of side reaction; the resulting hydrogen-rich reformate gas is passed into a scrubber to remove unreacted, small amounts of methanol and water.
The gas circuit in the path 3 selects methanation for CO, the hydrogen-rich reformed gas after water washing enters the lower heat exchange plate 8 from the methanol water vapor reforming reactant inlet 12 of the lower cover plate 9, enters the CO selective methanation reaction plate 7 through the catalytic combustion reaction plate 5, the CO content of the product gas is reduced to be below 10 ppm by using the hydrogen in the reformed gas through selective methanation reaction, and the hydrogen content of the product gas is kept to be more than 70%. The main reactions involved are:
(1) catalytic combustion of methanol:

(2) methanol water vapor reaction:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
(3) selecting CO for methanation reaction:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
on the stacking arrangement of the reactor, an upper cover plate 1, an upper heat exchange plate 2, a heat exchange plate clapboard 3, an evaporation plate 4, a methanol catalytic combustion plate 5, a methanol water vapor reforming plate 6, a CO selective methanation reaction plate 7, a lower heat exchange plate 8 and a lower cover plate 9 are arranged from top to bottom in sequence. By adopting the series design, the heat released by the methanol catalytic combustion plate is gradually reduced along with the consumption of catalytic combustion reactants, so that the gradient distribution of the temperature in the reactor can be realized, and the temperature of the methanol steam reforming cavity 19 and the temperature of the CO selective methanation reaction cavity 21 are both in the optimal working temperature range of the catalyst.
On the structural design of the reactor, a catalyst sectional arrangement mode is adopted in the methanol catalytic combustion plate 5, so that the methanol catalytic combustion reaction is gradually carried out, and the uniformity of temperature distribution in a reaction cavity is improved; the micro-channel heat exchange array 22 is arranged in the methanol catalytic combustion plate 5, so that the heat transfer capacity of the reaction cavity is enhanced. A snakelike flow channel design is adopted in the CO selective methanation reaction plate 7, so that the phenomenon of insufficient reaction caused by uneven flow velocity distribution is avoided. In order to improve the overall energy efficiency of the reactor, an upper heat exchange plate 2 and a lower heat exchange plate 8 are designed at the upper end and the lower end of the reactor and used for recovering waste heat in product gas. The cold end of the upper heat exchange plate 2 is methanol water solution, and the hot end is high-temperature hydrogen-rich reformed gas; the cold end of the lower heat exchange plate 8 is hydrogen-rich reformed gas after water washing, and the hot end is high-temperature methanol catalytic combustion tail gas.
In the starting stage of the reactor, only the methanol catalytic combustion gas circuit works. Methanol is pumped into the methanol catalytic combustion plate 5 by a peristaltic pump, and air is pumped into the methanol catalytic combustion plate 5 by a main air pump. The methanol catalytic combustion 5 releases heat to heat the reactor. And when the temperature of the methanol water vapor reforming plate 6 reaches the set temperature, ending the starting stage and entering a stable working stage.
