Description

Catalyst for autothermal reforming of methanol to produce hydrogen, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to a catalyst for autothermal reforming of methanol to produce hydrogen.
The invention also relates to a preparation method of the catalyst.
The invention also relates to the application of the catalyst.
Background
The technical development of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) has been to date, and the problem of fuel cell, i.e. hydrogen source, has become one of the technical bottlenecks hindering commercialization, and has attracted more and more attention and extensive research. The method is characterized in that hydrocarbon such as methanol, gasoline, natural gas and the like is moved in a reforming mode or is prepared on site to be used as a most practical and feasible hydrogen supply mode for a fuel cell to generate electricity, is considered as a first-choice solution of fuel cell hydrogen source technology in the next 10-20 years, research and development work in the field is carried out in many countries in the world at present, multiple research progresses are achieved, multiple fuel cell display vehicles for methanol reforming and gasoline reforming hydrogen sources are provided in the field of fuel cell automobiles, and meanwhile, a large number of companies internationally demonstrate a power generation device integrating fuel reforming and fuel cells.
The on-site hydrogen production of methanol by reforming generally comprises the processes of methanol reforming, CO transformation, CO selective oxidation or pressure swing adsorption to remove CO and the like. The reforming process converts methanol into hydrogen-rich gas, which contains about 5% of CO, and the CO has a poisoning effect on a Pt catalyst of a fuel cell electrode to quickly deactivate the catalyst, so that the CO in the reformed gas is reduced to below 50-100ppm through subsequent reaction processes such as CO water vapor conversion, CO selective oxidation and the like so as to be used for the fuel cell. The methanol reforming process is the most basic and predominant reaction process, with the following major reactions occurring over the catalyst:
ΔH=-726.64KJ/mol (1)
ΔH=+49.4KJ/mol (2)
ΔH=+90.64KJ/mol (3)
wherein, the reaction (1) is a steam reforming process when not existing, and an external heat source is needed for strong endothermic reaction; the presence of reaction (1), referred to as an autothermal reforming or combined reforming hydrogen production process, is a coupling of steam reforming and oxidative reforming processes. In the process of preparing hydrogen by autothermal reforming, a small amount of oxygen (air) is introduced into a methanol and water reaction system to combust part of methanol, the released heat is directly supplied to methanol and water vapor for reforming reaction, and endothermic and exothermic reactions are coupled in situ, so that the requirements of frequent and rapid starting and rapid response when the power is changed of a fuel cell, particularly a vehicle-mounted fuel cell, a boat-used fuel cell or a standby power supply fuel cell, are most probably met.
One of the technical difficulties in the process of preparing hydrogen by auto-thermal reforming of methanol is the development of auto-thermal reforming catalyst of methanol. The catalyst should have a combustion active site and a steam reforming active site at the same time, and the blending of the catalytic active components should ensure the energy balance of the heat absorption and release reaction; at the same time, the catalyst also needs to have high enough activity, stability and strength to meet the special requirements of the fuel cell in unsteady state operation. At present, the reported methanol autothermal reforming hydrogen production catalysts used in the hydrogen source process of fuel cells are mainly divided into two categories, one category is a copper-based catalyst, Cu-Zn-Al is used as a main component, and the purpose of improving the thermal stability and the activity of the catalyst is achieved by adding alkaline earth metal, transition metal oxide or rare earth metal oxide on the basis. Cu-Zn-A1-MOx catalyst as in patent EP1007081A2, wherein the auxiliary agent MOx is one or more of La, Ca, Ga, Cr, Ba, Zr and Ce; and the Cu-Zn-Al-Ce and Cu-Zn-Al-Zr catalysts of patent EP1161992A1, and the like. The catalyst is developed on the basis of a steam reforming catalyst, so that the CO content of reformed gas is low in the process of autothermal reforming of methanol, but the catalyst has the defects of rapid activity attenuation, the heat resistance of the modified catalyst can not meet the requirement of a hydrogen source of a fuel cell, and the catalyst needs to be activated in advance before reaction and needs special passivation treatment when shut down. Another class of catalysts are noble metal catalysts, represented by Pd-Zn catalysts, such as the Pd-Zn-MOx catalyst (MOx is a mixed metal oxide) in patent EP1312413A2, the Pd-Ce-Zn catalyst in patent JP2002282691, the Pd-Zn-Ce-Zr catalyst in patent US2001/0021469A1, the Pd-MOx, Pd-Pt-MOx catalyst in patent JP2001232193, and the like. The heat-resistant stability and the activity of the catalyst are greatly enhanced, the catalyst is more convenient to use than a copper-based catalyst, but the CO content in the reformed gas gradually increases along with the reaction, namely the CO selectivity is poor, and meanwhile, the noble metal has larger consumption and high price. In addition, chinese patents CN1305867 and CN1305868 report a copper-free non-noble metal catalyst, which is used in the methanol autothermal reforming process to obtain higher methanol conversion rate and hydrogen selectivity, but because the catalyst lacks sufficient thermal stabilizing auxiliary agent, structural stabilizing auxiliary agent and support of active component, the catalyst is easy to be pulverized and broken during the use process, so it is difficult to meet the requirements of the fuel cell hydrogen source system, especially the vehicle-mounted hydrogen source system, on catalyst strength and stability during the long-term operation.
