Description

Hydrogen production system and method based on ammonia
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of energy utilization, and in particular to an ammonia-based hydrogen production system and method.
Background
The hydrogen energy is a recognized renewable clean energy, and the hydrogen production method of thermochemical sulfur-iodine cycle (hereinafter referred to as sulfur-iodine cycle) mainly comprises Bunsen reaction and sulfuric acid H 2 SO 4 Three schemes of decomposition and hydrogen iodide HI decomposition. The sulfur iodine cycle has many unique advantages, such as: (1) compared with direct thermal decomposition of water to produce hydrogen, the reaction condition is relatively mild, and the heat sources such as solar energy, nuclear energy and the like can be matched; (2) the hydrogen production heat efficiency is high; (3) without oxyhydrogenThe separation device is suitable for large-scale hydrogen production. However, when the sulfur-iodine hydrogen production system is matched with high-quality green heat sources such as solar energy, nuclear energy and the like, certain regional limitations are likely to exist in the sulfur-iodine hydrogen production technology, so that the technology has the difficult problems of hydrogen storage and transportation after large-scale hydrogen production is realized. An effective solution to the above problems is to convert hydrogen into other substances that are easy to transport over long distances.
For example, chinese patent application publication No.: CN116199562a, name: method and system for preparing methanol by combining carbon dioxide and hydrogen iodide, which discloses I generated by decomposing hydrogen iodide gas 2 And H 2 And (3) simultaneously introducing carbon dioxide required by preparing methanol with HI as a mixed gas A in a corresponding proportion, controlling the temperature of the carbon dioxide to ensure that the carbon dioxide is mixed with the mixed gas A, introducing the mixed gas A into a methanol synthesizer, and introducing the mixed gas obtained by reaction into a cooling separation process to obtain methanol. The application utilizes the reaction of synthesizing methanol to consume hydrogen generated by the decomposition of hydroiodic acid in situ, thereby promoting the hydrogen production and the decomposition of hydrogen iodide; meanwhile, the hydrogen is directly converted into methanol which is easy to store and transport at normal temperature and normal pressure, so that the cost and technical difficulty of hydrogen storage and transportation are reduced.
For example, chinese patent publication No.: CN114772551B, name: a method and system for efficient utilization of methane-rich gas, which discloses the use of nitrogen and H generated by air separation 2 The synthesized ammonia gas product can be used as chemical raw material, and can be liquefied into liquid ammonia for long-distance transportation. Liquid ammonia as H 2 Chemical carrier for long distance (more than or equal to 200 km) transportation to solve H 2 And the problem of difficult transportation in a long distance (more than or equal to 200 km) is solved. However, current industrial synthesis of ammonia is mainly achieved by the Haber-Bosch process. The Haber process generally requires high temperatures and pressures and the presence of an iron/ruthenium based catalyst to produce nitrogen and hydrogen H 2 The reaction is converted into ammonia gas, and the high temperature and high pressure lead to quite high energy consumption for preparing the ammonia gas. Additional raw material H 2 Mainly obtained by methane steam reforming, which consumes fossil energy and generates a large amount of greenhouse gases.
For another example, japanese patent laid-open No.: JP5660493B2, name: a method for synthesizing ammonia by thermochemical cycle is disclosed, which uses nitrogen and water as raw materials and renewable energy as energy. The reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen halide is carried out by the circulation of ammonium halide in a thermodynamic mode, specifically, the reaction temperature is controlled to be 323K-523K under the existence of a metal catalyst, the reaction pressure is controlled to be 0.05 MPa-2.0 MPa, and the nitrogen and the hydrogen halide are reacted to generate the ammonium halide and a halogen simple substance; then under the condition of 573K-873K and 0.05 MPa-1.0 MPa, the ammonia halide is thermally decomposed into ammonia gas and hydrogen halide; ammonia gas is then separated by adsorption using zeolite, thereby producing ammonia gas. The ammonia is synthesized by a step of reacting ammonia with hydrogen halide to obtain ammonia and a step of recycling byproduct halogen without auxiliary raw materials. However, this method is extremely inefficient in the production of ammonia, and, taking example 7 thereof as an example, only 0.43mol% nitrogen and 0.139mol% hydrogen iodide gas can be converted using a 5wt% Pt catalyst. In addition, the mentioned zeolite, particularly USY zeolite or modified USY zeolite, is difficult to resist corrosion of hydrogen iodide gas at high temperature, has short service life and low separation efficiency, so that the technical route still has a plurality of problems and has a large lifting space.

(3) The plasma reaction prepares ammonium iodide, hydrogen iodide gas is taken as raw material to enter a plasma reactor, and nitrogen in a nitrogen storage tank is also introduced into the plasma reactor. In the plasma reactor, the frequency of dielectric barrier discharge is 1 kHz-12 kHz, the input voltage is 1 kV-40 kV, the molar ratio of nitrogen and hydrogen iodide gas in the plasma reactor is controlled to be 1:6-20, the temperature is controlled to be 458K-573K, the pressure is controlled to be 0.1 MPa-10 MPa, and the reaction time is controlled to be 10 min-120 min.

The ammonia gas dryer is filled with calcium oxide powder, and then the dried ammonia gas is liquefied into liquid ammonia in an ammonia gas storage tank by a cooling or pressurizing mode in the ammonia gas liquefier for storage. (7) And (3) decomposing ammonia to prepare hydrogen, and decomposing ammonia to generate nitrogen and hydrogen after transporting the liquid ammonia to a destination.
The principles to which this application relates are: and (one) preparing ammonium iodide by plasma reaction. Plasma (PDP)The body has unique physical and chemical properties, and can weaken and even eliminate the limit of thermodynamics on the synthetic ammonia reaction, so that the synthetic ammonia reaction can be carried out under relatively mild conditions. By using low temperature plasma technology such as corona discharge, thomson discharge, dielectric barrier discharge, etc., preferably dielectric barrier discharge, the reaction gas nitrogen and hydrogen iodide will be ionized and activated into N, H, I, etc., radicals which then form ammonia and iodine elementary substance under the action of a catalyst mainly composed of a metal carrier and a carrier, the metal carrier comprises one or more of Ni, fe, co, cu, ru, mo, etc., the carrier comprises Al 2 O 3 、SiO 2 、TiO 2 One of MgO, AC, etc. The reaction equations involved include: n (N) 2 +6HI →2NH 3 +3I 2 ;NH 3 +HI →NH 4 I。
And (II) decomposing ammonium iodide to prepare ammonia gas. Ammonium iodide is a white crystal of the formula NH 4 I, ammonium iodide is a relatively stable substance under normal temperature and pressure, but when it is heated to 673K to 723K, the ammonium iodide undergoes thermal decomposition, and the decomposition reaction is divided into two steps: (1) Thermal decomposition of ammonium iodide to ammonia gas and hydrogen iodide NH 4 I →NH 3 +HI; (2) Partial decomposition of Hydrogen iodide into Hydrogen and iodine vapor 2HI ↔ H 2 +I 2 . However, if a catalyst is not used, the decomposition rate of ammonium iodide at 673K to 723K may be close to 100%, but the decomposition rate of hydrogen iodide is lower than 1%, which is almost negligible. At the same time, once the temperature of the gas is reduced, ammonia gas and hydrogen iodide can rapidly react to generate ammonium iodide solid small particles. So to obtain ammonia, in situ separation of ammonia or hydrogen iodide must be achieved under high temperature conditions (e.g., 673K-723K).
There are two ideas here: (1) directly adsorbing and separating ammonia; (2) adsorption separation of hydrogen iodide or consumption of hydrogen iodide. Japanese patent JP5660493B2 mentions that ammonia can be adsorbed using USY zeolite to achieve in situ separation. However, the strong corrosiveness of hydrogen iodide at high temperature greatly reduces the service life of the zeolite for ammonia separation. In addition, assuming that the USY zeolite or a modified USY zeolite can absorb ammonia generated by thermal decomposition of ammonium iodide at 673K-723K, the USY zeolite absorbing ammonia may need a higher temperature to desorb ammonia, and the temperature higher than 723K can completely accelerate the decomposition of ammonia itself, thereby reducing the ammonia production efficiency of the system.
In view of in-situ consumption of hydrogen iodide, the application provides a method for recycling tin element to consume hydrogen iodide so as to separate ammonia generated by thermal decomposition of ammonium iodide and further prepare ammonia. Specifically, tin dioxide and ammonium iodide are mixed and heated to 673K-773K, ammonia gas and hydrogen iodide are generated by thermal decomposition of the ammonium iodide, and at the moment, the hydrogen iodide reacts with the tin dioxide to generate tetratin iodide and water. The chemical reactions involved are: NH (NH) 4 I →NH 3 +HI;4HI +SnO 2 →SnI 4 +2H 2 O, total reaction is 4NH 4 I +SnO 2 →4NH 3 +SnI 4 +2H 2 O. After the reaction, the temperature of the mixed gas is reduced to below 637K, for example, to 573K-637K, and the tin tetraiodide is converted into liquid from gas, but at the moment, ammonia and water are still gas, and the ammonia mixed with water vapor can be obtained after gas-liquid separation.
After separating ammonia and water, controlling the reaction temperature between 623K and 723K, and oxidizing tin tetraiodide by using oxygen obtained by air separation to generate tin dioxide and elemental iodine. At the moment, the tin dioxide is solid, the elemental iodine is gas, and the tin dioxide powder is recovered through gas-solid separation for recycling. The chemical reaction formula is as follows: snI (SnI) 4 +O 2 →SnO 2 +I 2
Through the above process, the ammonium iodide is converted into ammonia gas with water vapor and elemental iodine through two steps. The ammonia with water vapor can be dried by using calcium oxide, and the dried ammonia can be converted into liquid ammonia by means of cooling or pressurizing. Meanwhile, the elemental iodine can be returned to the bunsen reaction system for recycling.
The nitrogen produced by the air separation equipment and the hydrogen iodide produced by the bunsen reaction system are used as raw materials for preparing ammonia. Compared with the plasma ammonia synthesis technology using nitrogen and hydrogen as raw materials, the method has the following advantages: the dissociation energy of the iodized hydrogen is 299kJ/mol, which is lower than that of the hydrogen, and the energy consumption for synthesizing ammonia is lower. In the reaction, the hydrogen iodide is excessive, and ammonia gas generated by the reaction can react with the hydrogen iodide rapidly to generate ammonium iodide solid. Ammonium iodide can exist stably as long as the voltage and the discharge frequency are controlled, so that ammonia gas is not ionized and decomposed. The hydrogen iodide gas serving as a hydrogen source can be regenerated through the bunsen reaction system, and carbon dioxide is not generated in the regeneration process of the hydrogen iodide after the bunsen reaction system is matched with green heat sources such as nuclear energy, solar energy and the like.
And (III) decomposing and utilizing ammonia gas. In the ammonia decomposer, the liquid ammonia is heated and gasified to 673K-873K, and the ammonia is decomposed to form nitrogen and hydrogen under the catalysis of the ammonia decomposition catalyst. Then, pressure swing adsorption principle PSA is adopted to separate nitrogen and hydrogen at normal temperature.
