Description

Method for preparing high-purity hydrogen by methanol two-phase reforming
Technical Field
The invention relates to a novel method for preparing hydrogen by reforming methanol, belonging to the technical field of hydrogen preparation.
Background
The development and utilization of new energy sources are the urgent necessity for the development of the current human society. Hydrogen energy is the cleanest and most efficient energy source of secondary energy sources. In view of the many advantages and important roles of hydrogen energy in future markets, many countries tighten the deployment and implementation of hydrogen energy strategies. However, hydrogen energy is the same as electric energy, has no direct resource storage on the earth, and is obtained by conversion from other primary energy sources, so that the hydrogen energy belongs to secondary energy sources.
Hydrogen is a promising renewable energy source, and the use of fuel cell vehicles in particular further expands the use of hydrogen. But because hydrogen is a very light gas, it contains much less energy per unit volume than conventional liquid fuels at the same pressure. Thus, the use of storage materials to release the required hydrogen in situ is a very promising route. At present, the hydrogen production technology in the world mainly comprises hydrogen production by fossil fuel, hydrogen production by hydrolysis and hydrogen production by biomass. Wherein, the hydrogen production by fossil fuel and the hydrogen production by biomass can be realized by a methanol platform. Both fossil fuels and biomass can be converted to syngas, which can then be used to synthesize methanol. The methanol hydrogen production has important application in small-sized oil refining hydrogenation devices and mobile source hydrogenation devices, and especially has very important potential value in the aspect of in-situ hydrogen production of hydrogen energy fuel cells for vehicles.
The methanol and the water which are cheap, easy to store and transport and high in hydrogen content are used for reforming to generate the hydrogen in situ, so that the hydrogen becomes an important component of a future fuel cell automobile. Research today on the production of hydrogen by reforming methanol and water includes steam reforming and aqueous phase reforming. The CO selectivity of methanol steam reforming is very high, which cannot meet the use of fuel cells, methanol steam reforming, namely gas phase reforming, is mainly adopted for hydrogen production by methanol reforming, and the reaction of methanol and water after vaporization is commercialized, and the used catalyst is a copper-zinc-aluminum catalyst. But the Cu catalyst is easily oxidized by water at the reaction temperature of 250 ℃ and 300 ℃. Noble metal catalysts, other than Cu-based catalysts, are generally supported on oxides, but on oxide-supported noble metal catalysts, methanol is more susceptible to decomposition reactions, resulting in very high CO content, which far exceeds the tolerance of fuel cells.
In addition to methanol steam reforming, the prior art also includes methanol aqueous phase reforming, i.e., pressurizing the reaction system to keep both methanol and water in liquid phase in the system. The methanol aqueous phase reforming CO selectivity is very low. This may be due to the different activities of the coal-water vapor shift reaction under the two conditions. However, in the aqueous phase reforming technology, the methanol conversion rate still needs to be improved under the condition of higher space velocity. For example, we report a space velocity of 1.47h under continuous flow aqueous phase reforming conditions-1When the catalyst is used, the conversion rate of the methanol can reach 100 percent, but the space velocity is increased to 5.88h-1When the conversion rate is reduced to about 40% (ACS Catalysis,2019, 9, 9671-9682).
In summary, it can be seen that hydrogen produced by steam reforming of methanol in the prior art has a high CO content, while aqueous phase reforming can effectively reduce the CO content, but the methanol conversion rate is severely reduced at high space velocity.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of high CO content in methanol steam reforming and low conversion rate of aqueous phase reforming when the space velocity is increased in the prior art, provide a novel method for preparing hydrogen by methanol reforming, and simultaneously give consideration to low CO content and relatively high conversion rate under high space velocity.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

Further, the gas-liquid phase ratio of methanol to water is such that the gas-liquid phase ratio of the total feed is in the range of 0.25 to 9, preferably 0.43 to 4.
Further, in order to realize the reforming process, the catalyst is one or more of a noble metal Pt-based catalyst, a non-noble metal Ni-based catalyst, a Fe-based catalyst and a Cu-based catalyst.
Alternatively, the Pt-based catalyst is a supported catalyst and the support is a metal oxide alumina, a spinel such as magnesium aluminate spinel, nickel aluminate spinel, a perovskite such as lanthanum nickel perovskite, carbon, and the like. Preferably nickel aluminate spinel.
Alternatively, the loading of Pt is 0.1% to 5%, preferably 0.2% to 1.2%. The supporting method is impregnation or coprecipitation.

Further, the space velocity of the raw materials including methanol and water is 0.1-15 h-1Preferably 1-5 h-1
