Abstract
Description
実施形態に係るリアクタシステム100について説明する。図1は、リアクタシステム100の構成を示す模式図である。リアクタシステム100は、原料ガス源10及びリアクタモジュール15を備える。
原料ガス源10は、プレリアクタ20の上流に配置される。原料ガス源10は、原料ガスを貯留する。原料ガス源10は、原料ガスをプレリアクタ20に供給する。原料ガスは、少なくとも水素及び酸化炭素を含有する。酸化炭素としては、一酸化炭素及び二酸化炭素の少なくとも一方を用いることができる。原料ガスは、いわゆる合成ガス(Syngas)であってよい。
プレリアクタ20は、原料ガス源10の下流に配置される。プレリアクタ20は、メンブレンリアクタ30の上流に配置される。プレリアクタ20には、原料ガス源10から原料ガスが供給される。プレリアクタ20は、原料ガスから液体燃料への転化反応を行うことによって中間ガスを生成する。プレリアクタ20は、中間ガスをメンブレンリアクタ30に供給する。
CO2+3H2 ⇔ CH3OH+H2O (1)
メンブレンリアクタ30は、プレリアクタ20の下流に配置される。メンブレンリアクタ30には、プレリアクタ20から中間ガスが供給される。メンブレンリアクタ30は、中間ガスに含まれる残原料ガスから液体燃料への転化反応(上記反応式(1)参照)を行いながら、プレリアクタ20において生成された水蒸気と、メンブレンリアクタ30において生成される水蒸気とを分離する。このように、生成物を分離しながら転化反応を行うことによって、平衡シフト効果を利用して上記式(1)の反応平衡を生成物側にシフトさせることができる。なお、メンブレンリアクタ30において生成される液体燃料は、生成された時点では気体状態であり、少なくともメンブレンリアクタ30から流出するまでは気体状態に維持される。
以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。
上記実施形態において、リアクタモジュール15は、メンブレンリアクタ30を1つだけ備えることとしたが、複数のメンブレンリアクタ30を備えていてよい。
上記実施形態において、第3流路35には掃引ガスが流されることとしたが、第3流路35には掃引ガスが流されなくてもよい。
上記実施形態において、中間ガスは、プレリアクタ20からメンブレンリアクタ30へ直接的に供給されることとしたが、冷却された後にメンブレンリアクタ30へ供給されてもよい。例えば、プレリアクタ20とメンブレンリアクタ30の間に冷却装置(放熱器又は熱交換器)を配置し、冷却装置において中間ガスを冷却することができる。
上記実施形態において、分離膜34は、プレリアクタ20において生成された水蒸気と、メンブレンリアクタ30において生成される水蒸気とを透過させることとしたが、これに限られない。分離膜34は、プレリアクタ20における生成物である液体燃料と、メンブレンリアクタ30における生成物である液体燃料とを透過させてもよい。この場合においても、上記式(1)の反応平衡を生成物側にシフトさせることができる。
上記実施形態では、水素及び酸化炭素を含有する原料ガスがプレリアクタ20に直接供給されることとしたが、プレリアクタ20において原料ガスを生成しながら、生成された原料ガスを用いて液体燃料を生成してもよい。
