Description

A kind of portable ethanol autothermal reactors for hydrogen production
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of small-sized self-heating reforming hydrogen manufacturing reactor, can realize that especially raw material is at the equally distributed ethanol reforming hydrogen-preparation reactor of catalytic bed.
Background technology
Along with the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology, require the portable onboard hydrogen source of exploitation.Because ethanol can obtain by the biomass ferment technology, be that the reforming hydrogen producing technology of raw material can reduce CO in present thermochemistry hydrogen producing technology with ethanol 2Clean discharging.The realization of ethanol reformation hydrogen production machine requires to design and develop the high-performance micro hydrogen-manufacturing reactor that matches.
The method of ethanol thermochemistry reformation hydrogen production mainly comprises following 3 classes:
C 2H 5OH+3H 2O → 6H 2+ 2CO 2(reforming reaction SRE, strong heat absorption)
C 2H 5OH+1.5O 2→ 3H 2+ 2CO 2(partial oxidation POE, strong heat release)
C 2H 5OH+0.5O 2+ 2H 2O → 5H 2+ 2CO 2(self-heating recapitalization ATRE, heat release)
SRE can provide higher H 2Yield, but strong heat absorption makes this reaction must adopt the extra power heat supply.For the miniaturization hydrogen making machine, this not only means the complexity of system, and can't break away from the dependence for electrical network or other fuel, is difficult to use in the mobile energy or emergency source of electric power etc.Though POE can address the above problem, the hydrogen yield is lower.Sneak into part oxygen and can take into account the above two advantage in pure water fuel, under suitable metering ratio, exothermic heat of reaction can worked under thermal conditions by maintenance system, thereby need not outer heating, is called self-heating recapitalization.For obtaining portable onboard hydrogen source, must effectively improve reaction efficiency, reduce reactor volume, to improve the travelling performance of reactor.Therefore the self-heating reforming hydrogen manufacturing that does not rely on outside heat supply is comparatively suitable hydrogen manufacturing mode.
