Description

Hydrogen-helium gas separation device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of gas separation and purification, in particular to a separation device for hydrogen-helium mixed gas.
Background
Helium is one of indispensable rare strategic materials for national defense military industry and high-tech industry development, and is widely applied to the fields of military industry, scientific research, petrifaction, refrigeration, medical treatment, semiconductors, superconducting experiments, deep sea diving, production of optoelectronic products and the like. China belongs to a poor helium country, and the total amount of natural gas and helium gas resources is less and the content is low. At present, the self-sufficient rate of helium in China is low, and helium supply depends on import for a long time. The helium is extracted from the natural gas, so that the helium supply for the petroleum in China is guaranteed, the energy field is expanded, and the strategic significance for guaranteeing the national energy safety is achieved.
At present, the process for extracting helium from natural gas at home and abroad mainly comprises a cryogenic method and a membrane separation method.
Cryogenic rectification is a commonly used method in most large and medium natural gas recovery helium plants. The principle is that liquid nitrogen is used as a refrigerant (about-190 ℃), hydrocarbons and other components in the natural gas are gradually condensed, and helium is separated from other components in the natural gas due to the extremely low boiling point of the helium. For example, chinese patent (ZL 201210255340. X) discloses a method for extracting helium from natural gas, comprising the steps of: A. feeding raw material natural gas containing helium into a main heat exchanger for cooling; B. b, feeding the mixture obtained by cooling in the step A into a separation tower, heating the mixture, cooling at least part of steam by a condensing evaporator at the tower top to obtain primary crude helium, and purifying the primary crude helium to obtain a crude helium product; C. b, decompressing and throttling part of liquid at the bottom of the separation tower, then entering a tower top condensation evaporator through a pipeline to serve as a cold source of the condensation evaporator, and exchanging heat with the steam in the step B; D. and (4) determining whether the LNG product obtained by the cold source in the step C after the heat exchange with the steam in the step B needs to be obtained from the evaporation detection of the condensation evaporator according to the cold balance requirement. Chinese patent (ZL 201210513423.4) discloses a natural gas low-temperature helium extraction system and method, wherein a post-expansion and nitrogen circulation refrigeration two-tower separation technology is adopted, cold energy of a device is fully recovered to pre-cool raw material natural gas, the system can be suitable for natural gas with extremely low helium content, and meanwhile, the system has the characteristics of low energy consumption, high hydrogen recovery rate, investment saving, flexible operation, strong variable working condition adaptability and the like. Although the method can realize the separation of helium, the method also has certain problems, which are mainly reflected in that 1) along with the continuous reduction of the refrigeration temperature, the energy consumption of unit refrigeration capacity is increased sharply, so that higher and more rigorous requirements are provided for how to efficiently refrigerate, how to reasonably and efficiently utilize refrigeration capacity, and design, manufacture and operation of equipment. 2) Natural gas is a multi-component mixture, and low-temperature phase equilibrium is the basis of cryogenic helium extraction of natural gas. Due to the limitations of the freezing point and solubility of the substances, more substances can cause low-temperature blockage with the decrease of the refrigeration temperature, and the operation of the equipment is unstable. 3) The equipment mostly adopts metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper and the like, requires good low-temperature resistance, relates to the problems of transition connection of different materials, multilayer vacuum shielding heat insulation and the like, and puts more demands on high-vacuum equipment, helium leak detection, materials, processes and the like.
In addition to cryogenic separation, gas separation membranes are a relatively new separation technology. The gas components are subjected to mass transfer on a high molecular polymer film (cellulose acetate, polypropylene, polysulfone, polyimide and the like) based on the principle of dissolution and diffusion, and the effect of separating the components is achieved according to different solubilities and diffusion rates of different gas components in the film material. When a mixture of two or more gases is passed through a polymer membrane, the permeation rates of the helium and hydrogen components are much higher than those of nitrogen and methane and other hydrocarbons. Membrane separation is combined with other processes to obtain a permeate gas having hydrogen helium as the main component. For example, in the literature (initial application of membrane separation and pressure swing adsorption combined process in natural gas stripping, scientific and technical innovation, 2021.15), it is mentioned that by arranging a two-end membrane separation system, optimizing a membrane unit configuration scheme, and reasonably designing a cycle of gas analysis of a PSA unit, a helium recovery rate of >87% of the whole can be maintained while a high-purity helium product with He + H2 of 99.99% or more is prepared. How to separate the hydrogen from the helium becomes a key to whether the process is feasible.
For hydrogen-helium separation, there are methods such as palladium metal membrane, catalytic oxidation, metal hydride and the like. The palladium metal membrane is limited by the cost of noble metal palladium, is mainly applied to small-scale gas separation occasions such as separation of hydrogen isotopes and the like at present, and cannot be directly applied to large-scale gas separation occasions. The catalytic oxidation is to oxidize hydrogen into water or methane under the action of a catalyst. For example, chinese patent (CN 201810308806.5) discloses a process for purifying helium from hydrogen-containing helium exhaust, which comprises supplementing hydrogen with carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide or a mixture of the two, and catalytically converting the hydrogen into methane; or supplementing excessive oxygen to catalytically convert hydrogen into water. Catalytic oxidation cannot tolerate high levels of hydrogen and is less effective if the feed gas source composition fluctuates. The metal hydride can effectively remove the hydrogen in the hydrogen-helium mixed gas by utilizing the reaction of the hydrogen storage alloy and the hydrogen. For example, the invention discloses a normal-temperature hydrogen-helium separation and storage integrated device and a method thereof in chinese patent (CN 202110278127. X), wherein the normal-temperature hydrogen-helium separation and storage integrated device comprises a booster pump, a flowmeter, a first hydrogen storage bed, a second hydrogen storage bed, a quadrupole mass spectrum, a booster pump, a helium storage tank and a hydrogen storage tank which are connected in sequence. Introducing the hydrogen-helium mixed gas into the first hydrogen storage bed, and simultaneously controlling the flow of the hydrogen-helium mixed gas, wherein the first hydrogen storage bed is in a working state and the second hydrogen storage bed is in an idle state; when the quadrupole mass spectrum has a hydrogen signal, switching and introducing hydrogen-helium mixed gas into a second hydrogen storage bed; and recovering all the valves to a closed state until no gas is input at the front end of the booster pump, and finishing the separation of the mixed gas. The invention realizes the integration of continuous and complete separation of high-purity hydrogen and high-purity helium at normal temperature and separation and storage of hydrogen, but because the internal filling structure is not considered, the bed body is blocked or stacked due to powder expansion in the working process of the hydrogen storage bed, gas open circuit or short circuit is caused, and the bed body is invalid.
Although the above technologies and process routes can realize separation of helium, the process is complicated, or the energy consumption is high, or the performance and the service life are poor, and the practical use requirement of hydrogen-helium gas separation is difficult to meet.
