Method for deeply removing oxygen in hydrogen through electrocatalysis at normal temperature and pressure to obtain high-purity hydrogen

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for deeply removing oxygen in hydrogen through electrocatalysis at normal temperature and pressure to obtain high-purity hydrogen; a gas diffusion electrode electrolytic tank is adopted, a catalyst is sprayed on a gas diffusion layer substrate (including electrically conductive carbon paper, the catalyst and the like) to prepare a gas diffusion electrode, and a cathode and an anode are isolated by an ion exchange membrane. Reaction gas contains oxygen impurities with a certain concentration, electrochemical performance testing is carried out by adopting a three-electrode or two-electrode system constant voltage method, and the oxygen impurities in impurity-containing hydrogen are continuously and deeply removed. By adopting the method provided by the invention, the residual concentration of oxygen can be reduced to 1 ppm or less and the purity of hydrogen can reach 99.9999% or more by regulating and controlling a proper voltage range. Compared with a traditional technology, the method can efficiently reduce and remove oxygen in hydrogen at normal temperature and normal pressure, has the obvious advantages of greenness, safety, low cost, high efficiency and the like, better meets the requirements of green chemical industry, and has a wide practical application prospect.
