Today, environmental problems are increasingly serious, and energy conservation and emission reduction become one of important problems facing society. The hydrogen energy has the characteristics of high efficiency, cleanness, green, sustainable development and the like, and is regarded as one of the most potential clean energy sources in the new century. Along with the release of new energy policies in various places, hydrogen energy becomes a hot new energy source and has wide application prospect in the industrial field.
The current hydrogen production mode is mainly divided into traditional fossil energy hydrogen production and novel energy hydrogen production. The traditional fossil energy hydrogen production mainly comprises petroleum hydrogen production, coal hydrogen production and natural gas hydrogen production. Although fossil energy hydrogen production is still the main hydrogen production mode at present, the pollution to the environment is larger and the standard of green hydrogen is not met. The novel energy hydrogen production mainly comprises biomass hydrogen production, electrolytic water hydrogen production, solar hydrogen production and alcohol substance hydrogen production. The biomass hydrogen production can be carried out continuously and stably in a small amount, the hydrogen production cost is increased by water electrolysis, and the solar hydrogen production is greatly influenced by the environment. The hydrogen production of alcohols is mainly the hydrogen production by reforming methanol, and the methanol is cracked into H under certain temperature and pressure conditions 2 With carbon-containing gas such as CO, CO reacts with steam to generate H 2 With CO 2 CO is removed by pressure swing adsorption 2 Finally obtain high-purity H 2 . The methanol reforming hydrogen production process is simple, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the production mode is stable and reliable, and the method is suitable for small and medium-scale hydrogen production.
Because of the special physical and chemical properties of hydrogen, the storage and transportation of hydrogen become a serious problem for limiting the development of hydrogen. Compared with other hydrogen production modes, the methanol reforming hydrogen production is not influenced by external environmental factors, the raw materials are low, the hydrogen production is stable and safe, and the methanol reforming hydrogen production micro-reactor has the advantages of small volume, simple structure and convenient transportation. The methanol is used for on-site hydrogen production through the reforming micro-reactor, so that the hydrogen is timely supplied, the method is more suitable for a mobile on-line hydrogen production scene, and a new solution is provided for hydrogen storage and transportation.
The methanol reforming hydrogen production micro-reactor mainly comprises a cylindrical micro-reactor and a plate type micro-reactor. The cylindrical microreactor is simple to process and assemble, but the cylindrical structural design has high pressure drop, uneven temperature distribution and difficult integration and amplification; the plate-type microreactor is in a laminated assembly mode, each layer of the microreactor is relatively independent, the assembly is simple, the plate-type microreactor has a higher heat exchange area, the temperature distribution is uniform, and the integration and the amplification are easier. An excellent reforming hydrogen production microchannel reactor is important for hydrogen production performance.
The microchannel reactor with the flow rate and the concentration being uniformly distributed, which is proposed by the patent document of the publication No. CN111196596A, can lead the flow rate and the concentration of the fluid to be more uniform, but the parting flow passage at the front end of the reaction plate is too complicated, the space sacrifice of the reaction plate is larger, the utilization rate is lower, and the space volume of the reactor is enlarged; the hydrogen production micro-reformer with the fractal structure catalyst carrier proposed in the patent document of publication No. CN110155946B can realize good hydrogen production performance, but the structure of a reaction carrier plate is complex, and the manufacturing cost is increased.
The existing micro-channel reforming hydrogen production reactor only has partial excellent performances, and has the advantages of uniform flow velocity distribution, lower pressure drop, high hydrogen conversion rate, and no integration of the excellent performances such as the space utilization rate of a reaction plate. Therefore, the development of a microchannel reforming hydrogen production reactor with better performance is a problem in the art.
