Description

本発明は、2段式水素分離型改質器に関し、より具体的には、Pd系合金水素分離膜と周期律表5A族金属合金水素分離膜を使用してなる2段式水素分離型改質器に関する。   The present invention relates to a two-stage hydrogen separation reformer, and more specifically, a two-stage hydrogen separation reformer using a Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane and a periodic table 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane. It relates to the genitalia.

従来型の水素分離型改質器の水素分離膜には一般的にPd系合金水素分離膜が使用されている。水素分離型改質器において、投入原料ガスつまり水素含有被処理ガス(炭化水素の水蒸気改質等により得られる水素を含む被処理ガス)に対して多くの水素分離膜を搭載すれば、分離される水素量も増えて効率的に水素製造が行えるが、Pd系合金水素分離膜は高価であるとともに、装置が大きくなる。   A Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane is generally used as a hydrogen separation membrane of a conventional hydrogen separation reformer. In a hydrogen separation reformer, if a large number of hydrogen separation membranes are mounted on the input raw material gas, that is, the hydrogen-containing treated gas (treated gas containing hydrogen obtained by steam reforming of hydrocarbons, etc.), the hydrogen separation type reformer is separated. Although the amount of hydrogen to be produced can be increased and hydrogen can be produced efficiently, the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane is expensive and the apparatus becomes large.

Pd系合金からなる水素分離膜によって水素を選択的に透過精製し、効率的な水素製造を行うためには、例えば1次圧(反応側)=0.8MPaG、2次圧(透過側)=−0.06〜0MPaG、500〜550℃、S/C=2.5〜3.5の条件において、原料投入量2〜6cc/min/cm2、好ましくは3〜4cc/min/cm2程度で運転するのが適当である。 To selectively permeate and purify hydrogen through a hydrogen separation membrane made of a Pd-based alloy and perform efficient hydrogen production, for example, primary pressure (reaction side) = 0.8 MPaG, secondary pressure (permeation side) = -0.06 to 0 MPaG, 500 to 550 ° C., S / C = 2.5 to 3.5, raw material input amount is 2 to 6 cc / min / cm 2 , preferably about 3 to 4 cc / min / cm 2 It is suitable to drive at.

Pd系合金水素分離膜のみの水素分離型改質器においては、そのように最適化された運転条件において、水素分離膜の面積を増やしたり、水素分離膜モジュールの搭載量を増やしたりしても、水素分離膜の増加分に値する水素製造量は得られない。   In a hydrogen separation reformer using only a Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane, even if the area of the hydrogen separation membrane is increased or the mounting amount of the hydrogen separation membrane module is increased under such optimized operating conditions. Thus, the amount of hydrogen production that is equivalent to the increase in the hydrogen separation membrane cannot be obtained.

例えば、炭化水素の改質時における見掛けの水素透過係数が0.7×10-8mol・m-1・s-1・Pa-1/2である、長さ450mm、幅120mm、厚さ20μmのPd系合金水素分離膜に、95NL/h(およそ3cc/min/cm2)の13A都市ガスと、S/C(水蒸気/カーボン比)=3の水蒸気を、1次側(反応側)を0.8MPaGで投入し、2次圧(透過側)を−0.06MPaGにして、550℃において水素製造を行った場合を考えると、長さ600cmとして膜面積を33.3%増加させた場合、水素製造量は294NL/hから355NL/hへと20.7%しか増加しない。 For example, the apparent hydrogen permeation coefficient during hydrocarbon reforming is 0.7 × 10 −8 mol · m −1 · s −1 · Pa −1/2 , length 450 mm, width 120 mm, thickness 20 μm A Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane of 95 NL / h (approximately 3 cc / min / cm 2 ) of 13 A city gas and S / C (water vapor / carbon ratio) = 3 of water vapor on the primary side (reaction side) Considering the case where hydrogen was produced at 550 ° C. with a secondary pressure (permeation side) of −0.06 MPaG and the membrane area was increased by 33.3% by 0.8 MPaG. Hydrogen production increases only 20.7% from 294 NL / h to 355 NL / h.

ところで、Nb、V、Taなど元素の周期律表5A族金属または5A族金属を含む合金はPd−Ag合金などのPd系合金と比較して高い水素透過係数Φを有しているが、水素脆化が起こるために水素分離膜としての使用が困難である。そこで水素脆化を抑制するために、添加元素を加えて水素脆化を抑制する方法などが提案されている(特許文献1、2)。しかし、添加物質を何%加えると言った単純な制御によって、単に高い溶解度や水素透過係数を得るだけでは、耐水素脆性と工業的に重要な高い水素透過速度の両立は困難であり、添加物質、添加量に加えて適切な使用温度、使用圧力(一次側及び二次側)を選択することが必要である。   By the way, the periodic table of elements such as Nb, V, Ta, etc., Group 5A metals or alloys containing Group 5A metals have a high hydrogen permeability coefficient Φ compared to Pd-based alloys such as Pd—Ag alloys. Since embrittlement occurs, it is difficult to use as a hydrogen separation membrane. Therefore, in order to suppress hydrogen embrittlement, methods for suppressing hydrogen embrittlement by adding additional elements have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, it is difficult to achieve both hydrogen embrittlement resistance and industrially important high hydrogen permeation rate by simply obtaining high solubility and hydrogen permeation coefficient by simply controlling what percentage of additive material is added. In addition to the addition amount, it is necessary to select an appropriate use temperature and use pressure (primary side and secondary side).

本発明者らは、PCT曲線(=圧力組成温度曲線)を利用することで、他成分添加によって水素固溶量を抑制しつつ、高い水素濃度差を実現する最適条件を求める方法を先に開発、提案している(特許文献3、4)。この方法によると、脆性破壊を起さない条件を明らかにすることで、低水素分圧、低圧差での使用が可能になることを純Nb、Nb−W合金において示した。しかし、その最高使用圧力は、0.05MPa(絶対圧)と言う大気圧以下であり、高水素分圧では使用できなかった。   The present inventors have first developed a method for obtaining an optimum condition for realizing a high hydrogen concentration difference while suppressing the amount of hydrogen solid solution by adding other components by using a PCT curve (= pressure composition temperature curve). (Patent Documents 3 and 4). According to this method, it was shown that pure Nb and Nb-W alloys can be used at low hydrogen partial pressure and low pressure difference by clarifying the conditions that do not cause brittle fracture. However, the maximum working pressure is below atmospheric pressure of 0.05 MPa (absolute pressure) and cannot be used at a high hydrogen partial pressure.

本発明者らは、今回、大気圧以上の水素分圧でも使用可能な5A族金属合金水素分離膜を新たに見出した。すなわち、例えば500℃において、V−W系合金水素分離膜であれば0.3MPa(絶対圧)まで使用可能であり、Ta−W系合金水素分離膜であれば0.15MPa(絶対圧)まで使用可能である。そして、500℃における見掛けの水素透過係数は最大でPd−Ag合金の5倍であることを明らかにした(図1〜4)。   The present inventors have newly found a 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane that can be used even at a hydrogen partial pressure of atmospheric pressure or higher. That is, for example, at 500 ° C., a VW alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be used up to 0.3 MPa (absolute pressure), and a Ta—W alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be used up to 0.15 MPa (absolute pressure). It can be used. Then, it was clarified that the apparent hydrogen permeation coefficient at 500 ° C. is 5 times as large as that of the Pd—Ag alloy (FIGS. 1 to 4).

本発明は、そのように、例えば500℃において、0.3MPa(絶対圧)まで使用可能なV−W系合金水素分離膜、0.15MPa(絶対圧)まで使用可能なTa−W系合金水素分離膜を利用し、それらをPd系合金水素分離膜と併用することにより、すなわち、Pd系合金水素分離膜と5A族金属合金水素分離膜を併用することにより、従来の改質器より高い水素回収率が得られる2段式水素分離型改質器を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention, so, for example, in 500 ° C., 0.3MP a (absolute pressure) or available on a V-W-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane, 0.15MP a (absolute pressure) or available in Ta- By using W-based alloy hydrogen separation membranes and using them together with Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membranes, that is, using Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membranes and Group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membranes together, It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-stage hydrogen separation reformer that can obtain a higher hydrogen recovery rate than the reactor.

The present invention (8) is an invention according to claim 4 of the present application.

例えば、Pd系合金水素分離膜を用いた水素分離では、シーベルトの法則(Sievert’s law:C=KP1/2。以下“シーベルツ則”と略称する。)に従うため、高い水素透過量J(J=D・ΔC/d、Dは拡散係数、ΔCは固溶水素量差、dは膜厚)を稼ぐためにある程度の水素分圧差(ΔP)が必要であるが、Nbはシーベルツ則に従わない領域があることがわかった。このため、低水素濃度においても水素圧力差や水素分圧差が発生すれば、高い固溶水素量差(ΔC)が得られ、高い水素透過量(J)を得ることができる。 For example, in hydrogen separation using a Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane, the Siebert's law (Sievert's law: C = KP 1/2, hereinafter abbreviated as “Siebert's law”) is used. (J = D · ΔC / d, where D is the diffusion coefficient, ΔC is the difference in the amount of dissolved hydrogen, and d is the film thickness), a certain hydrogen partial pressure difference (ΔP) is required. It turns out that there are areas that do not follow. For this reason, if a hydrogen pressure difference or a hydrogen partial pressure difference occurs even at a low hydrogen concentration, a high solid solution hydrogen amount difference (ΔC) can be obtained, and a high hydrogen permeation amount (J) can be obtained.

使用温度でのPCT曲線を測定することで、合金の使用可能な水素圧を決定できる。例えば、500℃においてV−W系合金は0.3MPa(絶対圧)以下、Ta−W系合金は0.15MPa(絶対圧)以下の水素分圧であれば水素分離膜として使用可能である(図1、図3)。 By measuring the PCT curve at the operating temperature, the usable hydrogen pressure of the alloy can be determined. For example, used as a V-W-based alloy 0.3MP a (absolute pressure) hereinafter, Ta-W alloy is 0.15MP a (absolute pressure) of hydrogen if the hydrogen partial pressure below the separation membrane at 500 ° C. It is possible (FIGS. 1 and 3).

また、水素の透過流束Jと合金の膜厚dの積であるJ・d値の評価から圧力条件によっては、V−W系合金やTa−W系合金がPd−Ag合金と比較して高い水素透過速度を得ることが分かった(図2、図4)。   Also, depending on the pressure condition from the evaluation of the J · d value, which is the product of the hydrogen permeation flux J and the film thickness d of the alloy, the VW alloy and the Ta—W alloy may be compared with the Pd—Ag alloy. It was found that a high hydrogen permeation rate was obtained (FIGS. 2 and 4).

図2のとおり、500℃において、水素透過条件、プロセス側(一次側)/透過側(二次側)=0.20MPa/0.01MPaの場合、見掛けの水素透過能Φは、Pd−26Ag合金が2.3×10-8(mol-1・m-1・s-1・Pa-1/2)であるのに対し、V−5W合金膜1.2×10-7(mol-1・m-1・s-1・Pa-1/2)と約5倍であり、同じ面積、同じ厚さの分離膜であれば、約5倍の水素透過量が得られる。 As shown in FIG. 2, at 500 ° C., when hydrogen permeation condition, process side (primary side) / permeation side (secondary side) = 0.20 MPa / 0.01 MPa, the apparent hydrogen permeation capacity Φ is Pd-26Ag alloy Is 2.3 × 10 −8 (mol −1 · m −1 · s −1 · Pa −1/2 ), whereas V-5W alloy film 1.2 × 10 −7 (mol −1 · m −1 · s −1 · Pa −1/2 ) and about 5 times as long as a separation membrane having the same area and thickness, a hydrogen permeation amount of about 5 times can be obtained.

上述のPd系合金水素分離膜の終端部分におけるガス組成は、550℃において、CH4=7.0%、H2O=51.6%、CO2=26.9%、H2=12.6%であり、出口部分における水素分圧は0.11MPa(絶対圧)となるため、プロセスガス側の圧力が0.8MPaGであっても、Pd系合金水素分離膜の後段においてV−W系合金水素分離膜やTa−W系合金水素分離膜の使用が可能となる。 The gas composition in the terminal portion of the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane described above is CH 4 = 7.0%, H 2 O = 51.6%, CO 2 = 26.9%, H 2 = 12. 6%, and the hydrogen partial pressure at the outlet portion is 0.11 MPa (absolute pressure). Therefore, even if the pressure on the process gas side is 0.8 MPaG, the VW system is used in the subsequent stage of the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane. An alloy hydrogen separation membrane or a Ta-W alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be used.

V−W系合金膜やTa−W系合金膜を使用した水素分離膜を、Pd系合金水素分離膜の後段、改質器上部の温度が500℃以下の位置に設置すれば、Pd系合金水素分離膜のプロセス側オフガスからさらに水素を分離し、高い水素製造量が得られる水素分離型改質器が実現できる。   If a hydrogen separation membrane using a V-W alloy membrane or a Ta-W alloy membrane is installed at a position after the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane and at a temperature above the reformer, the Pd alloy It is possible to realize a hydrogen separation reformer that further separates hydrogen from the process-side off-gas of the hydrogen separation membrane to obtain a high hydrogen production amount.

上述のPd系合金水素分離膜の後段に長さ150mm(Pd系合金水素分離膜の33.3%)、幅120mm、厚さ40μm(加工性がPd系合金より低いため)、見掛けの水素透過係数が3.5×10-8mol-1・m-1・s-1・Pa-1/2(Pd−Ag合金の約5倍)の5A族金属合金水素分離膜を500℃の温度環境下に設置した場合、原料転化率はPd系合金水素分離膜のみの場合の80.4%から91.1%へ増加し、水素製造量は367NL/hとPd系合金水素分離膜のみを用いた場合の水素製造量294NL/hに対して24.8%増加する。このように、Pd系合金水素分離膜の面積を増加させた場合と比較して、低コストで高効率な水素分離型改質器を実現できる。 After the above-mentioned Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane, the length is 150 mm (33.3% of the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane), the width is 120 mm, and the thickness is 40 μm (because the workability is lower than that of the Pd alloy). 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane with a coefficient of 3.5 × 10 −8 mol −1 · m −1 · s −1 · Pa −1/2 (about 5 times that of Pd—Ag alloy) When installed below, the raw material conversion rate increases from 80.4% in the case of only the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane to 91.1%, and the hydrogen production amount is 367 NL / h and only the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane is used. Increase by 24.8% against the hydrogen production amount of 294 NL / h. Thus, compared with the case where the area of the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane is increased, a low-cost and high-efficiency hydrogen separation reformer can be realized.

また、Pd系合金水素分離膜を550℃で使用する場合は、Pd系合金水素分離膜の終端部分における水素分圧が0.15MPa(絶対圧)以下になればV−W系合金水素分離膜やTa−W系合金水素分離膜が使用できるので、上述のPd系合金水素分離膜の長さを450cmから300cmへ短くして〔Pd系合金水素分離膜の終端部分における水素分圧が0.14MPa(絶対圧)〕、後段に150cmの5A族金属合金水素分離膜を設置してもよい。   When the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane is used at 550 ° C., if the hydrogen partial pressure at the terminal portion of the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane is 0.15 MPa (absolute pressure) or less, the V-W type alloy hydrogen separation membrane is used. And the Ta—W alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be used, the length of the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane is reduced from 450 cm to 300 cm [the hydrogen partial pressure at the terminal portion of the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane is 0. 14 MPa (absolute pressure)] and a 150 cm 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane may be installed in the subsequent stage.

つまり、Pd系合金水素分離膜の一部を5A族金属合金水素分離膜に置換することが可能である。このとき、原料転化率は82.8%であり、水素製造量は294NL/hから325NL/hへと、Pd系合金水素分離膜のみの場合と比較して10.3%増加する。5A族金属合金水素分離膜の膜厚を20μmまで薄くすることが可能であれば、原料転化率は93.9%となり、水素製造量は382NL/hへと29.8%増加する。   That is, a part of the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be replaced with a 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane. At this time, the raw material conversion is 82.8%, and the hydrogen production amount is increased by 10.3% from 294 NL / h to 325 NL / h compared to the case of only the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane. If the thickness of the Group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be reduced to 20 μm, the raw material conversion will be 93.9%, and the hydrogen production will increase by 29.8% to 382 NL / h.

反応炉全体をほぼ均一な温度にすることが可能であって、500℃で運転を行う場合は、反応管の入口部分のみにPd系合金水素分離膜があれば十分に水素分圧を0.15MPa(絶対圧)以下に下げられることができる。95NL/h(およそ3cm3/min/cm2)の13A都市ガスと、S/C(水蒸気/カーボン比)=3の水蒸気を、一次側(改質側)を0.8MPaGで投入し、二次側(透過側)を−0.06MPaGにして、500℃において水素製造を行った場合、Pd系合金水素分離膜の長さ90cm(450cmの20%)の場合、Pd系合金水素分離膜終端部分における水素分圧=0.13MPa(絶対圧)であり、後段で5A族金属合金水素分離膜が使用できる。 It is possible to bring the entire reaction furnace to a substantially uniform temperature. When the operation is performed at 500 ° C., the hydrogen partial pressure is sufficiently reduced to 0.degree. It can be lowered to 15 MPa (absolute pressure) or less. 95 NL / h (approximately 3 cm 3 / min / cm 2 ) of 13 A city gas, S / C (steam / carbon ratio) = 3 steam, and primary side (reformed side) at 0.8 MPaG were added. When hydrogen production is performed at 500 ° C. with a secondary side (permeation side) of −0.06 MPaG, when the length of the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane is 90 cm (20% of 450 cm), the end of the Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane The hydrogen partial pressure in the portion is 0.13 MPa (absolute pressure), and a 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane can be used in the subsequent stage.

5A族金属合金水素分離膜の長さ360cm(450cmの80%)の場合、水素製造量は306NL/hであり、550℃、Pd系合金水素分離膜のみの場合の294NL/hと比較して4.0%増加する。これにより、Pd系合金水素透過の使用量を大幅に減らすことができ、原材料コストを低減できるだけでなく、反応炉の運転温度を低下させることで、反応管加熱のための投入エネルギーを低減し、放熱等のエネルギーロスを低く抑えることで高効率化が可能となる。   When the length of the group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane is 360 cm (80% of 450 cm), the amount of hydrogen produced is 306 NL / h, compared to 294 NL / h in the case of only 550 ° C. and Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane. Increase by 4.0%. As a result, the amount of Pd-based alloy hydrogen permeation can be greatly reduced, not only reducing raw material costs, but also reducing the input energy for heating the reaction tube by lowering the operating temperature of the reactor, High efficiency can be achieved by keeping energy loss such as heat radiation low.

また、改質ガスつまり水素含有ガスから高い回収率で水素を引き抜くため、改質器のオフガス中のCO2濃度が相対的に上昇する。現在、世界最高効率を実現している出願人の40Nm3/hメンブレンリフォーマー(改良型)の100%出力時=40Nm3/h水素製造時の改質器オフガス中のCO2濃度は72.2%であるが、条件によってはこれより高いCO2濃度を得ることが可能である。2段式水素分離型改質器のオフガスからは、圧縮液化のみによって、より高効率にCO2を分離し回収することが可能である。 Further, since hydrogen is extracted from the reformed gas, that is, the hydrogen-containing gas, at a high recovery rate, the CO 2 concentration in the off-gas of the reformer relatively increases. At the time of 100% output of the applicant's 40 Nm 3 / h membrane reformer (improved type) that currently achieves the world's highest efficiency = 40 Nm 3 / h The CO 2 concentration in the reformer off-gas during hydrogen production is 72.2 %, But depending on the conditions, higher CO 2 concentrations can be obtained. From the off-gas of the two-stage hydrogen separation reformer, CO 2 can be separated and recovered with higher efficiency only by compression liquefaction.

5-6 is a figure explaining the structural example 1 of this invention. FIG. 5A is a perspective view of the hydrogen separator 1 provided with two types of alloy membranes, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view of the container 3 containing the hydrogen separator 1 provided with two types of alloy hydrogen separation membranes. It is. As shown as the reforming catalyst layer in FIGS. 5B and 6A, the reforming catalyst layer is disposed between the container 3 and the hydrogen separator 1 accommodated therein.

図5(a)のとおり、水素分離器1は合金からなる筺体の左右両面にそれぞれ間隔を置いてPd系合金水素分離膜と5A族金属合金水素分離膜との2種類の合金水素分離膜を順次配置して構成される。2種類の合金水素分離膜の配置は、プロセスガス(原燃料+水蒸気)の流れ方向でみて、まずPd系合金水素分離膜を配置し、次いで5A族金属合金水素分離膜を配置する。水素分離器1と筺状容器3との間には改質触媒層が配置される。符号4はプロセスガス導入管であり、その下端部で開口している。   As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the hydrogen separator 1 includes two types of alloy hydrogen separation membranes, a Pd alloy hydrogen separation membrane and a 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane, spaced apart from each other on the left and right sides of the alloy casing. Sequentially arranged. As for the arrangement of the two types of alloy hydrogen separation membranes, a Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane is first arranged, and then a Group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane is arranged, as viewed in the flow direction of the process gas (raw fuel + water vapor). A reforming catalyst layer is disposed between the hydrogen separator 1 and the bowl-shaped vessel 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a process gas introduction pipe, which is open at the lower end thereof.

原燃料と水蒸気の混合ガスであるプロセスガスは、その導入管4を介して導入される。容器3内の下端部に放出されたプロセスガスは、水素分離器1と容器3との間の間隙を上昇しながら改質されて水素を生成する。生成水素を含むプロセスガスは、水素分離器1と容器3との間の間隙を上昇しながら、まず、水素分離器1のうちPd系合金水素分離膜を透過して精製され、さらに5A族金属合金水素分離膜を透過して精製される。精製水素は、水素導出管5を介して取り出される。   A process gas, which is a mixed gas of raw fuel and water vapor, is introduced through the introduction pipe 4.

Purified hydrogen is taken out through the hydrogen outlet pipe 5.

図6(b)に、プロセスガス側水素分圧と水素分離器1(分離膜モジュール)の下端からの距離との関係を示している。5A族金属合金水素分離膜は、プロセスガス側水素分圧が小さい領域で有効であることから、図6(a)中“5A族金属合金水素分離膜”として示すように、水素分離器1(分離膜モジュール)の上端部、すなわち下端からの距離が大きい箇所に配置する。   FIG. 6B shows the relationship between the process gas side hydrogen partial pressure and the distance from the lower end of the hydrogen separator 1 (separation membrane module). Since the group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane is effective in a region where the process gas side hydrogen partial pressure is small, as shown as “group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane” in FIG. The separation membrane module is disposed at the upper end of the separation membrane module, that is, at a location where the distance from the lower end is large.

原燃料と水蒸気の混合ガスであるプロセスガスは、その導入管14を介して導入される。円筒状容器13内の下端部に放出されたプロセスガスは、水素分離器11と円筒状容器13との間の間隙を上昇しながら改質されて水素を生成する。生成水素を含むプロセスガスは、水素分離器1と円筒状容器3との間の間隙を上昇しながら、まず、水素分離器1のうちPd系合金水素分離膜を透過して精製され、さらに5A族金属合金水素分離膜を透過して精製される。精製水素は、水素導出管5を介して取り出される。プロセスガスを改質し、そのように水素を透過、精製した後のオフガス(水素を分離後の残りのガスであるプロセスガスオフガス)は導出管16を介して排出、取り出される。   A process gas, which is a mixed gas of raw fuel and water vapor, is introduced through the introduction pipe 14. The process gas released to the lower end portion in the cylindrical container 13 is reformed while raising the gap between the hydrogen separator 11 and the cylindrical container 13 to generate hydrogen. The process gas containing the generated hydrogen is first purified through the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane in the hydrogen separator 1 while rising in the gap between the hydrogen separator 1 and the cylindrical vessel 3, and further 5A. It is refined by permeating the hydrogen separation membrane. Purified hydrogen is taken out through the hydrogen outlet pipe 5. The offgas after reforming the process gas and permeating and purifying the hydrogen in this way (process gas offgas which is the remaining gas after separating hydrogen) is discharged and taken out through the outlet pipe 16.

<Configuration Example 4 of the Present Invention>
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a configuration aspect example 4 of the present invention. FIG. 9A is a perspective view of a hydrogen separator 11 which is cylindrical and has two kinds of alloy hydrogen separation membranes installed on the outer peripheral surface of a porous support having a reforming catalyst function, and FIG. It is sectional drawing of the hydrogen separator 11 which installed this alloy hydrogen separation membrane, and the cylindrical container 13 which accommodated this.

図9(a)のとおり、水素分離器11は合金からなる改質触媒機能を持つ円筒状多孔質支持体の外周面にそれぞれ間隔を置いてPd系合金水素分離膜と5A族金属合金水素分離膜との2種類の合金水素分離膜を順次配置して構成される。2種類の合金水素分離膜の配置は、プロセスガス(原燃料+水蒸気)の流れ方向でみて、まずPd系合金水素分離膜を配置し、次いで5A族金属合金水素分離膜を配置する。   As shown in FIG. 9 (a), the hydrogen separator 11 has a Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane and a 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation spaced from each other on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical porous support made of an alloy and having a reforming catalyst function. Two types of alloy hydrogen separation membranes with the membrane are sequentially arranged. As for the arrangement of the two types of alloy hydrogen separation membranes, a Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane is first arranged, and then a Group 5A metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane is arranged, as viewed in the flow direction of the process gas (raw fuel + water vapor).

円筒状の改質触媒機能を持つ多孔質支持体における円筒状の内空にはプロセスガス(原燃料+水蒸気)の導入管14が配置されている。原燃料と水蒸気の混合ガスであるプロセスガスは、その導入管14を介して導入される。導入管14は下端で開口しているので、プロセスガスは当該開口端で折り返し、導入管14と円筒状多孔質支持体との間の間隙を上昇しながら、多孔質支持体の改質触媒機能により改質されて水素を生成する。   A process gas (raw fuel + water vapor) introduction pipe 14 is disposed in a cylindrical inner space of the porous support having a cylindrical reforming catalyst function. A process gas, which is a mixed gas of raw fuel and water vapor, is introduced through the introduction pipe 14. Since the introduction pipe 14 is opened at the lower end, the process gas is turned back at the opening end, and while the gap between the introduction pipe 14 and the cylindrical porous support is raised, the reforming catalyst function of the porous support is achieved. To produce hydrogen.

生成水素を含むプロセスガスは、水素分離器1とプロセスガス導入管14との間の間隙を上昇しながら、まず、水素分離器1のうちPd系合金水素分離膜を透過して精製され、さらに5A族金属合金水素分離膜を透過して精製される。精製水素は、水素分離器1と円筒状容器13との間に流入し水素導出管15を介して取り出される。   The process gas containing the produced hydrogen is first purified through the Pd-based alloy hydrogen separation membrane in the hydrogen separator 1 while raising the gap between the hydrogen separator 1 and the process gas introduction pipe 14. It is purified by permeating through a 5A group metal alloy hydrogen separation membrane. Purified hydrogen flows between the hydrogen separator 1 and the cylindrical container 13 and is taken out via the hydrogen outlet pipe 15.
