Steam reforming technology using methane as a hydrogen production technology is a major technology of interest in areas rich in natural gas. Generally, hydrogen production technology is classified into thermal process, electrolytic process, and light source process. The thermal process uses energy such as natural gas, coal, and biomass to release hydrogen. In particular, heat is used in closed chemical cycles to produce hydrogen from water during the thermochemical process. Electrolytic processes use electricity to divide water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electric energy from a zero carbon source using wind and solar energy, and processes using high temperature nuclear electrolysis. The optical process uses light energy to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen. Such photoprocessing is known as a major category of photobiological and photoelectric chemistry. In addition, the seven key technical paths are biological production, photoelectrochemical production, thermo-chemical production, water electrolysis, coal and biomass gasification, bio-derived liquid fuel reforming, and natural gas reforming. Table 1 summarizes the forms of hydrogen production for the feed fuels, energy sources, production and seven major reaction paths.

(Example)
In this experiment, Ni / γ-Al alloy with 15 wt% and 20 wt%2O3Catalyst.
The Ni / γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst packed with 15 wt% and 20 wt% Ni precursor Ni (NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O (Aldrich) and γ-Al 2 O 3 beads And prepared by incipient wetness method. First, in order to remove surface adsorption impurities, γ-Al 2 O 3 The support was calcined at 400 ° C for 8 hours. An appropriate amount of Ni nitrate hexahydrate (Ni (NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O aqueous solution was added to the pretreated γ-Al 2 O 3 The support was impregnated with incipient wetness so that the support was filled with 15 wt% and 20 wt% nickel. The impregnated catalyst was dried at 120 ° C for 24 hours and then calcined at 800 ° C for 8 hours.
Finally, the treated catalyst was pulverized to have an average particle size of 0.15 mm, thereby reducing the effect of reducing internal diffusion. Before the experiment using the prepared catalyst, hydrogen was treated at 800 ° C with hydrogen at a flow rate of 200 mL / min for 24 hours.
The heat exchanger and the modular reformer are designed such that the burner of FIG. 2 supplies a reaction heat to the reformer, and a pilot burner and a main burner for ignition are formed to stably form a flame. The supplied fuel is methane, and the supply ratio of methane and air is 1:10, and the feed rates of methane and air are 5.00 and 50.0 L / min, respectively. The initial temperature of the reaction is 850 ° C, and when the reaction gas for the reforming reaction is injected, the temperature is lowered from 850 ° C to 700 ° C below. To increase the reaction temperature of the catalyst layer, the amount of methane and air injected from the burner is increased from 6.99 L / min to 69.9 L / min. The temperature of the final catalyst layer is 798 占 폚.
FIG. 7 shows that the steam / methane injection ratio was 167.9 g of a Ni / γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst of 3: 1 (18.5 L / min: 6.17 L / min), GHSV = 6,300 h -1 and 20 wt% Deg.] C, and a pressure of 1 atm. The methane conversion rate was 99.7%, and the composition ratios of H 2 , CO and CO 2 (drying conditions) were 74.7%, 15.9% and 7.76%, respectively. The amount of H 2 produced increases to 1.21 Nm 3 / hr. The above high methane conversion rate is considered to be due to a high reaction temperature.
The methane mole ratio as a fuel per unit mole of H 2 is 0.65, and the burner conditions are the same as those described above. The fuel demand is greater than that in a typical Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle, but as the supply of methane and air to the burner decreases, the fuel demand may decrease as the reforming reaction temperature decreases by 650 ° C. In this case, the methane conversion rate is estimated to be 90.6%, and the amount of H 2 produced will be lowered by 3%.
When these heat exchangers are operated as a modular system, reactor design can reduce the amount of energy required for the entire process. In addition, the heat exchange and other modular modular reformers can independently produce hydrogen using the utilization gas secured in the off-shore or deep-sea environment. Therefore, it would be possible to develop a facility for the production of dispersed hydrogen.
As the gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of the reactant increases, the endothermic reaction heat of the steam methane reforming also increases. GHSV is limited to 5,000 ~ 20,000 h -1 . If the reactant is too small at 5,000 h -1 or less, the reactant is too large compared to the amount of hydrogen produced. If the reaction rate is too high at 20,000 h -1 , It is difficult to evaluate the effect of GHSV on the reactants in a typical electric heater, but heat exchange and other modular modifiers are effective to provide a high endothermic reaction heat to the reactor surface and catalytic metal foam through methane combustion . In addition, the heat exchange and other modular modular reformers do not have a pressure drop due to reactant flow, even at the high reactant GHSV due to the three channels of metal foam in the tube side to the reactant stream.
Figure 8 represents the effect GHSV of the reactant of the heat exchange reformer is Other mouth modular GHSV of the reactant from 6,300 10,000h - the result of the time increase to 1. At various GHSV conditions, the reaction temperatures of the heat exchanger and other modular reformers were controlled by increasing the feed rate of methane to 6.99, 7.99 and 10.9 L / min while maintaining a constant methane: air ratio of 10: 1. The conversion of methane to GHSV was reduced from 99.7% to 98%, but the hydrogen concentration remained almost constant at 75.5%. At GHSW 6,300 and 8,000 h -1 , the reaction equilibrium was found at 798 ° C and 760 ° C, respectively. At GHSW 10,000 h -1 , methane conversion was> 98% and the reaction temperature was 745 ° C. The hydrogen production was increased from 6,300 h -1 to 1.97 Nm 3 / hr at 1.21 Nm 3 / hr from 10,000 h -1 .

When the catalyst bulk density was 0.72 g / mL, a reformer having a diameter of 1 inch and a length of 613 mm was used. The flow rates of methane and steam are 6.17 L / min and 18.5 L / min, respectively.
The temperature of the catalyst layer using an external electric heater was flushed with nitrogen while being maintained at 800 ° C. When methane and steam mixtures are fed to start the reaction, the reaction temperature drops sharply to 701 ° C. Thereafter, the temperature during the reaction is maintained at 691 캜 to 692 캜.

The flow rates of methane and steam are 6.17 L / min and 18.5 L / min, respectively.
The temperature of the catalyst layer using an external electric heater was flushed with nitrogen while being maintained at 850 ° C. When the methane and steam mixture is fed to start the reaction, the reaction temperature falls sharply to 738 캜 and is stabilized at the above temperature.
FIG. 6 shows the reforming characteristics at a steam to methane injection ratio of 3: 1 (18.5 L / min: 6.17 L / min), a catalyst of 167.9 g, a reaction temperature of 738 ° C, and a pressure of 1 atm.

The resultant difference of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 due to the high activity of the 20 wt% Ni / γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was that the higher ratio of the γ / Al 2 O 3 support of the Ni / γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst And the number of nickel particles dispersed in the water.
