Definitions

  • the steam reforming reaction is well known.
  • a gaseous fuel typically a hydrocarbon or an alcohol
  • steam is mixed with steam at elevated temperature, usually in the presence of a catalyst.
  • the fuel and water are converted into hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
  • methane methane as an example, the "reforming" reaction is:
  • the resulting hydrogen-containing gas is used for any of several purposes, but particularly for the generation of electricity using a fuel cell.
  • the steam reforming reaction is endothermic (absorbs heat), and so heat must be supplied to the system to drive the reaction.
  • steam reforming here also called simply “steam reforming” unless qualified, the heat is supplied from an outside source to the catalyst bed.
  • autothermal reforming and partial oxidation reforming
  • some of the fuel is burned in the bed to create the heat required for reforming the fuel.
  • Autothermal reforming and partial oxidation reformmg each require oxygen-resistant catalysts, since oxygen is admitted to the catalyst bed.
  • a noble metal catalyst such as platinum
  • efficient catalysts have been developed for such reactions.
  • the catalyst used is typically a non-noble transition metal, such as Ni (nickel), or combinations comprising non-noble transition metals, hi order to be effective, at least some of the Ni or other transition metal catalyst surface must be in a reduced state (e.g., Ni) rather than in an oxidized state such as NiO.
  • Ni nickel
  • the reduced catalyst is sensitive to oxygen, meaning that oxygen will react with the reduced-state metal and oxidize it to a higher oxidation state, frequently resulting in the addition of oxygen to the catalyst complex.
  • the reduced Ni-type catalyst is subject to poisoning by traces of oxygen in the feed, whether fuel, steam, or trace air leakage. This results in a loss of catalytic efficiency of the bed, and eventually the catalyst must be regenerated.
  • Such regeneration is not unduly difficult in a large, fixed chemical plant.
  • regeneration is much more difficult in a mobile reformer, for example in a vehicle, or in a small reformer at a non-industrial site, such as in a distributed electric power generating system.
  • the water gas shift (WGS) reaction is typically run in two stages, a HTS (high temperature shift) stage for fast kinetics, and a LTS (low temperature shift) stage to take advantage of the more favorable equilibrium (lower equilibrium CO level) at lower temperatures.
  • the catalysts used for the water gas shift reaction are also typically made of reduced or partially reduced transition metals and their oxides, most commonly Fe and Cr for the HTS and Cu and Zn for the LTS. Other metals, including for example Co, Mo, Mn, Zr, Ti and lanthanides, are sometimes used as the main catalyst or as part of a mixed-metal catalyst.
  • the catalysts used for water gas shift reaction are also subject to deactivation by oxygen.
  • additional steam or water is usually added between the steam refonning step and the water gas shift step(s)
  • elimination of oxygen in or before the refonning catalyst bed may not be sufficient to protect the shift reactor bed(s) from exposure to oxygen.
  • RRS reduced refonning & shift
  • the remedy substantially lessens the degree of oxygen poisoning, and is suitable for use in small or mobile steam reformers.
  • a small quantity of an oxygen-resistant catalyst that will support reaction of oxygen with the fuel or reformate is positioned in a first bed.
  • the first bed is positioned "in front of, i.e. upstream of, a second bed containing the reduced catalyst, so that reactants must flow over the oxygen-resistant catalyst before entering the reduced bed.
  • the two beds may be adjacent, connected in series, or may be regions of the same enclosure.
  • the catalyst supporting oxidation of fuel or reformate can potentially be any catalyst that accelerates the rate of reaction of oxygen with a hydrocarbon, an alcohol, hydrogen, or carbon monoxide, (collectively, "fuel") and that is not poisoned by oxygen.

  • oxidation catalysts A broad range of catalysts that catalyze the oxidation of a fuel in the presence of oxygen are known (“oxidation catalysts”) and the individual suitability of catalysts for this function can easily be tested.
  • oxidation catalysts trace oxygen in the feeds will react with the fuel to form carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, and so no oxygen will be present downstream of the oxidizing catalyst. This will prolong the useful life (before regeneration is needed) of the reduced steam refonning or water-gas shift (RRS) catalyst.
  • a catalyst system of the invention comprises a first catalyst bed in fluid communication with a reactant feed, the first catalyst bed comprising a first catalyst that catalyzes an oxygen-consuming reaction in the reactant feed, the first catalyst being present in an amount sufficient to remove substantially all oxygen from the reactant feed before the feed exits the first catalyst bed; and a second catalyst bed configured to receive the feed from the first catalyst bed, the second catalyst bed comprising an oxygen-sensitive catalyst that promotes a hydrogen-producing reaction in the reactant feed.
  • the hydrogen-producing reaction can be, for example, a steam reforming reaction, or a water gas shift reaction.

  • the second oxygen-sensitive catalyst can be a reduced catalyst, such as a transition metal, and can comprise for example Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and V. hi addition to these widely used elements, a wide variety of other elements have been proposed or tested for use as a reduced reforming or water gas shift catalyst, and could also benefit from improved oxygen removal.
  • the second catalyst is "oxygen-sensitive" because exposure of the catalyst to oxygen at elevated temperatures diminishes its capacity to catalyze a hydrogen-producing reaction.

  • the catalysts for the first and second catalyst beds can be in any convenient physical form. Most commonly, the catalysts will be pelleted, or otherwise provided in discrete granules, optionally porous, forming a conventional catalyst bed. Catalysts may also be present in monolithic (i.e., one-piece) fonn, for example impregnated into or coated onto metal or ceramic shapes, metal or ceramic foams, metal or ceramic honeycomb structures, or coated onto structural elements such as heat exchangers; these forms are also included in the term "bed", for the purposes of this description.

  • the two catalyst types may be placed sequentially in a single bed, whether as pellets or monoliths.
  • the detailed physical arrangement will be determined by the engineering requirements of the particular reformer, with consideration given to relevant parameters such as space velocity, temperature, bed porosity and pressure drop, etc, as known in the chemical engineering art.
  • the relative proportions of the two catalyst types will be dictated to a large extent by similar considerations.
  • the oxygen-removing first catalyst will be used in an amount sufficient to remove residual oxygen in the feeds of the particular reactor before the oxygen reaches a reduced catalyst.
  • the amount of the first catalyst will depend on its activity and kinetics. The lowest feasible amount is generally preferred, because the oxidation catalysts typically contain noble metals, which are more expensive than the transition metals typically used in the reduced catalysts.
  • typically a separate oxidation catalyst protective bed or layer will be used before each of the refonner catalyst bed (unless the reformer is of the ATR or POX type) and at least the HTS section of the WGS catalyst bed.
  • suitable oxygen-consuming first catalyst is one that is used, or that could be used, for performing the autothermal reforming reaction (ATR; an "ATR catalyst”) described above. If the oxygen-consuming catalyst is of the ATR type, then refonning will also occur in the catalyst, so that the catalyst will contribute to the reforming reaction even in the absence of oxygen, and the overall effectiveness of the catalyst bed will be maintained. Moreover, any combustion of oxygen will contribute useful heat to the reforming reaction. Alternatively or in addition, the oxygen-resistant catalyst can be suitable for partial oxidation steam reforming. Most known ATR and POX catalysts (“ATR-type catalysts”) contain a noble metal, or combination of noble metals.
  • Metals from groups Nm and IB of the periodic table such as Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir, Au and Pt, are usually present in such catalysts.

  • many reduced catalysts for fuel refonning or water gas shift reactions are known. Without limitation, they usually comprise, alone or in combination, transition metals, including Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and V, usually present as oxidized or partially oxidized metals before being reduced under hydrogen to impart or increase catalytic activity. The reduced state of these materials should to be maintained to preserve catalytic activity.
  • first catalyst bed of an oxidation catalyst can be used to help heat the rest of the reactor up to operating temperature.
  • a deliberate injection of a small, controlled amount of oxygen or air, along with fuel and optionally steam, produces local heating of the bed while reducing the oxygen before it flows into the reduced catalyst part of the reactor. If needed, an ignition source for this oxygen-containing mixture could be supplied to initiate the reaction.
  • oxidation catalysts for these uses is straightforward. First, the oxygen sensitivity of a reduced reformmg or shift catalyst is determined. For example, a bed or monolith of the material to be tested is exposed to the fuel or refonnate to be used in the bed. Exposure should be at a temperature, space velocity and composition selected to properly model the full-scale reactor. Then operating stability of the reduced catalyst over a reasonable time is demonstrated. Next, oxygen or air is added to the feed at a known rate, and the rate of oxygen addition is adjusted so that the catalyst is deactivated in a reasonable period of time, for example an hour.
  • a candidate oxidation catalyst preferably an oxidation catalyst that is also suitable for performing reforming or the water-gas shift.
  • An amount of this catalyst is placed in front of the reduced catalyst bed, and its effect on the time to deactivation of the reduced catalyst in the presence of oxygen is determined. Then the amount of catalyst is reduced or -increased until there is an appropriate amount of catalyst, or bed length, etc., to indefinitely maintain the reduced catalyst in a fully operative state. It is often helpful to estimate or to model the required amount and bed shape, based on known properties of the catalyst to be tested, to minimize experimentation. In this manner, suitable oxygen-consuming catalysts, and their preferred configurations, can be rapidly detennined by an engineer or technician.

Abstract

Plusieurs catalyseurs utilisés dans des réactions de conversion et de reformage à la vapeur doivent être sous forme réduite et peuvent être inactivés par l'oxygène à l'état de traces contenu dans les sources d'alimentation en carburant ou en vapeur. On peut empêcher l'inactivation de ces catalyseurs par l'oxygène en plaçant un catalyseur consommateur d'oxygène dans ou à proximité de l'extrémité de l'entrée du lit du catalyseur réduit, de sorte que l'oxygène qui pénètre dans le lit réagisse avec le combustible ou le reformat avant d'arriver au catalyseur réduit. Ceci permet d'augmenter la durée du catalyseur réduit.
