It relates to a method for continuously producing high purity hydrogen by the reaction.
Research is being actively carried out to use hydrogen as a clean fuel in preparation for depletion of fossil fuels. Extensive research is being carried out on infrastructure construction for the hydrogen economy society, fuel cell buses, fuel cells for power generation, and hydrogen storage have.
Such hydrogen production is mainly studied in fossil fuels.

Thus, in the process of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is generated, and the purity of the received hydrogen differs depending on the degree of separation of generated carbon dioxide. On the other hand, since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming, it is very important to produce high purity hydrogen and to separate carbon dioxide.
Particularly, although the technology for producing hydrogen using the water gasification conversion reaction is disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-072726, it is required to undergo a two-stage aqueous gasification reaction of high temperature aqueous gasification and low temperature aqueous gasification, There is a problem that energy is wasted.

The present invention for achieving the above object, by supplying the synthesis gas obtained by gasification of hydrocarbon fuel and in contact with the aqueous gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent in the fluidized state through the reduction of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to the adsorption of carbon dioxide in the synthesis gas A first step of promoting hydrogen production; A second step of moving the water gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent while separating gaseous hydrogen generated in the first step; A third step of separating and discharging carbon dioxide adsorbed on the carbon dioxide adsorbent by contacting the regeneration gas to the aqueous gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent; And a fourth step of returning the aqueous gasification catalyst and the regenerated carbon dioxide adsorbent to the first step, wherein the first to fourth steps are sequentially and sequentially performed.
In the fourth step, the carbon dioxide adsorbent is cooled to a carbon dioxide adsorption temperature.
In addition, steam is supplied together with the synthesis gas in the first step.
In the third step, the regeneration gas is composed of at least one selected from carbon dioxide and steam.
In addition, the water gasification catalyst may be made of any one or more selected from CuO, ZnO, MoO 3 , Al 2 O 3 and a complex thereof and a mixture of these materials and the support, the carbon dioxide adsorbent K 2 CO 3 , KHCO 3 , MgO, hydrotalcite, a complex thereof, and a mixture of these materials and a support.

The first step is characterized in that the first flow rate and the second flow rate faster than the primary flow rate is made sequentially.
At this time, the first flow rate and the second flow rate is changed by changing the cross-sectional area of the flow reactor in which the first stage is made, or by syngas, steam, or a mixture thereof supplied to the intermediate portion of the flow reactor. Differential and secondary flow rates can be given.

FIG. 4 is a graph of weight percent of each component according to the time of the outlet of the water gasification reactor when the water gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent are used in the water gasification reactor.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and examples. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components, and the same reference numerals will be used to designate the same or similar components. Detailed descriptions of known functions and configurations are omitted.
The present invention relates to a process for the production of hydrocarbon fuel, The main feature is to promote the water gasification reaction by reducing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide through the immobilization of carbon dioxide in order to produce hydrogen at a high concentration from the synthesis gas. In addition, the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be used repeatedly by regeneration for the continuity of the process.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a first step of carbon dioxide adsorption and hydrogen generation, a second step of water gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent movement, a third step of regenerating carbon dioxide adsorbent, and a water gasification catalyst to continuously provide immobilization of carbon dioxide. And a fourth step of returning the carbon dioxide adsorbent to the basic configuration.
The first step is a step of supplying the synthesis gas obtained by gasification of the fuel and in contact with the aqueous gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent in the fluidized state to promote hydrogen production by reducing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to the adsorption of carbon dioxide in the synthesis gas. .
The components included in the synthesis gas are H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , H 2 O, etc. Among them, when carbon monoxide (CO), which is a main component, is reacted with water vapor, water gasification reaction (or water gas transition reaction) as in
[Reaction Scheme 1]
CO + H 2 O? CO 2 + H 2
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, the synthesis gas and the steam are simultaneously supplied, and the mixed gas of the synthesis gas and the steam serves as the fluidizing gas. The steam flow rate can be supplied from 1 to 10 times the syngas flow rate.
At this time, in the process mainly aiming at the production of hydrogen, it is preferable that the partial pressure of CO 2 is low in accordance with the principle of Re-Chatlli in order for the positive reaction of the
[Reaction Scheme 2]
CO 2 + MO - > MCO 3
Therefore, when the reaction of
CO + H 2 O + MO - H 2 + MCO 3
The water gasification catalyst may be made of any one or more selected from CuO, ZnO, MoO 3 , Al 2 O 3 and a complex thereof and a mixture of these materials and a support, and the carbon dioxide adsorbent is K 2 CO 3 , KHCO 3 , MgO , hydrotalcite, a complex thereof, and a mixture of these materials and a support.
The first step may be sequentially performed at a primary flow rate and a secondary flow rate that is higher than the primary flow rate. That is, in the first flow rate section, the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the water gasification catalyst have a flow rate below the terminal velocity. In the first flow rate section, a water gasification reaction and a carbon dioxide adsorption reaction occur, and in the second flow rate section. Aqueous gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent are scattered to move upward. This may provide sufficient time for the water gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent to contact steam and syngas, and at the same time facilitate the movement of the water gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent to the second stage.
At this time, the change of the primary flow rate and the secondary flow rate may be made by changing the cross-sectional area of the flow reactor, or by syngas, steam, or a mixed gas thereof supplied in the middle of the flow reactor. In the former case, the cross-sectional area of the primary flow rate section is formed larger than that of the secondary flow rate section. In the latter case, additional gas supply lines may be installed in the flow reactor. It is also possible to simultaneously change the cross-sectional area of the flow reactor and install additional gas supply lines.
The hydrogen concentration according to the first step is compared with the prior art as follows.
[Comparative Example]
ShiftMax210, a commercial catalyst, is used as an aqueous gasification catalyst, and the synthesis gas supplied is composed of 28 wt% H 2 , 63 wt% CO, and 9 wt% CO 2 . In addition, the weight of steam supplied is 3 times the weight of CO. In addition, a cylindrical water gasification reactor having a length of 1.6 m and an inner diameter of 0.15 m maintains a pressure of 17 bar and a temperature of 210 ° C.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, 52.2% by weight of H 2 , 0.92% by weight of CO, and 46.88% by weight of CO 2 were obtained as average values at the outlet of the water gasification reactor.
[Test Example]
The same as Comparative Example, ShiftMax210 and a carbon dioxide adsorbent (K 2 CO 3 ) at the same time was used together, there is a difference that the mixture of the two particles is continuously circulated between the recovery and regeneration gasifier and the regeneration reactor.
As a result, as illustrated in FIG. 4, 97.86 wt% of H 2 , 2.01 wt% of CO, 0.06 wt% of CO 2 , and 0.07 wt% of CH 4 were obtained as average values at the outlet of the water gasification reactor.
Therefore, when the water gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent are used at the same time as in the first step, the hydrogen production is greatly increased, and the carbon dioxide is adsorbed on the carbon dioxide adsorbent and is significantly reduced.
Next, the second step is to move the aqueous gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent while separating the gaseous hydrogen generated in the first step.
Separation of hydrogen may use a cyclone, and the movement of the water gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent may be performed by the pressure of the fluidization gas. Since the gas released through the cyclone is a mixture of hydrogen and H 2 O, high concentration of hydrogen can be obtained by removing H 2 O by condensation.
However, the pressure of the fluidizing gas may be lowered due to the discharge of hydrogen gas and steam, and the amount of the required water gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent is changed depending on the amount of the syngas supplied. Therefore, the present invention proposes to use a separate moving gas for the movement of the water gasification catalyst and carbon dioxide adsorbent. As the moving gas, carbon dioxide gas or steam may be used. In addition, a roof chamber or a buffer tank may be used to provide a space for temporarily storing the water gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent.
In the third step, the regeneration gas is contacted with the aqueous gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent to separate and release the carbon dioxide adsorbed on the carbon dioxide adsorbent. Steam or carbon dioxide gas is used as the regeneration gas. The reaction occurring in the third step is the reverse reaction of the
[Reaction Scheme 4]
MCO 3 → MO + CO 2
Thus, the carbon dioxide adsorbent which adsorbs CO 2 is discharged to the CO 2 by the regeneration reaction, such as the
Finally, the fourth step is to return the aqueous gasification catalyst and the regenerated carbon dioxide adsorbent to the first step. At this time, the carbon dioxide adsorbent should be cooled to the carbon dioxide adsorption temperature, and a separate cooling device or pretreatment reactor may be used for this purpose. The cooling device is simply a heat exchange mechanism, which cools the aqueous gasification catalyst and the regenerated carbon dioxide adsorbent through endotherm. The pretreatment reactor supplies a pretreatment gas (for example, steam) at a lower temperature than the third stage to cool the aqueous gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent.
As described above, through the processes of the first to fourth steps circulating the water gasification catalyst and the carbon dioxide adsorbent, it is possible to continue to produce high purity hydrogen, and at the same time to produce carbon dioxide as a by-product.
In addition, since the water gasification transition reaction and the CO 2 adsorption reaction in the first step is an exothermic reaction, and the regeneration reaction of the CO 2 adsorbent in the third step is an endothermic reaction, heat extraction is performed in the first step for a smooth process. However, a heat supply is required. Heat extraction in the first step may be controlled by the temperature of the steam or a separate cooling means may be installed around the reactor. In addition, in the third step, the heat supply may be made of steam, or a separate heating means may be installed around the reactor.

The temperature of the pretreatment gas should be at least equal to or lower than the injection temperature of the syngas or steam supplied to the
The dry solid adsorbent which adsorb H 2 O is further nopyige the adsorption rate of the carbon dioxide due to the nature that the carbon dioxide is readily soluble in H 2 O. Therefore, it is preferable to supply the pretreatment gas in a state of saturated steam to humidify the solid adsorbent.
