Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic liquid hydrogen storage, and specifically relates to a hydrogen production and hydrogen use integrated device based on a trickle bed continuous dehydrogenation reactor and a Pt / S-Ti3C2T3O3O4O4O5 ... x Catalyst and preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, energy shortages and environmental pollution have become two major issues that cannot be ignored by countries around the world. Experts and scholars have therefore been constantly trying to find a clean, pollution-free, and efficient energy source to replace the high proportion of traditional fossil fuels in the energy structure. Hydrogen energy, as a secondary green energy source, is considered to be the most promising energy alternative due to its pollution-free, high calorific value, high reserves, and high efficiency, and has received widespread attention from all walks of life. However, the industrial utilization of hydrogen energy still faces many technical difficulties, especially in the storage and transportation of hydrogen energy. For example: high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage technology has a low hydrogen storage capacity, requires high hydrogen bottle technology, and may pose a safety hazard; carbonaceous material hydrogen storage technology is expensive, and carbon nanotechnology is immature; metal alloy hydrogen storage technology is prone to pulverization and is inconvenient to transport.
[0003] Researchers have discovered that reversible cycles of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds, such as alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, can provide an effective reversible hydrogen storage method. This hydrogen storage method, known as liquid organic hydrogen storage technology, combines advantages in hydrogen storage density and ease of storage and transportation. It not only significantly reduces energy consumption and commercial costs for hydrogen storage, but also significantly improves safety during storage and transportation. The hydrogen storage materials used in this hydrogen storage technology are recyclable, and the storage process is pollution-free, making it an environmentally friendly technology. Liquid organic hydrogen storage systems are relatively large and diverse. The most widely reported is the aromatic hydrocarbon dodecahydroethylcarbazole, which was the first proposed liquid organic hydrogen storage material capable of reversible hydrogenation and dehydrogenation below 473 K. Ethylcarbazole is a colorless, flaky crystal at room temperature and pressure. It undergoes rapid hydrogenation at temperatures between 403 and 423 K and under hydrogen pressure, and rapid dehydrogenation at 453 K. Its theoretical hydrogen storage capacity is 5.79 wt%, meeting the US Department of Energy's 5.5 wt% hydrogen storage requirement.
[0004] Currently, the use of dodecahydroethylcarbazole as a hydrogen storage material remains confined to laboratory and small-scale applications. Efficient dehydrogenation catalysts and continuous dehydrogenation equipment are bottlenecks to its large-scale development and application. Commercial dehydrogenation catalysts, typically platinum- and palladium-based, such as Pt / Al2O3, Pt / C, and Pd / Al2O3, struggle to achieve efficient dehydrogenation at relatively low temperatures. Furthermore, the high amount of precious metals required restricts their commercial use. Currently, the dehydrogenation cycle of ethylcarbazole systems is primarily carried out in batch reactors, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in achieving continuous hydrogen production, significantly limiting the development of hydrogen energy. To further commercialize organic liquid hydrogen storage materials, the design and synthesis of a low-load catalyst that can enhance the dehydrogenation efficiency of dodecahydroethylcarbazole at relatively low temperatures, as well as the design of continuous dehydrogenation equipment that is highly compatible with the ethylcarbazole system, are essential.
[0005] Ti3C2T x Ti3C2T is a two-dimensional inorganic material that has been widely used in the field of electrochemistry since its discovery due to its excellent conductivity. However, its use as a carrier in the dehydrogenation reaction of dodecahydroethylcarbazole has not been studied. Because of its large specific surface area, it will provide sufficient loading sites as a carrier. x It can be etched from Ti3AlC2 by hydrofluoric acid system or hydrofluoric acid + lithium fluoride system. x It represents the terminal groups introduced during the etching process, such as -OH, -F, etc.
[0006] Continuous reactors are widely used in large-scale industrial processes due to their stable quality, easy operation and control, and high production efficiency. The trickle bed continuous reactor is a gas-liquid-solid three-phase catalytic continuous reactor with unparalleled advantages in large-scale heterogeneous catalytic processes. For example, during the reaction, the gas and liquid flows approach plug flow, resulting in high conversion rates.
[0007] Currently, there are two key factors hindering the progress of this hydrogen storage technology: one is how to design an efficient dehydrogenation catalyst with low precious metal loading that can improve the selectivity and reaction rate of dodecahydroethylcarbazole at lower temperatures; the other is how to design a continuous dehydrogenation equipment to improve the hydrogen production efficiency of the entire hydrogen storage cycle.

[0047] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the prepared Pt / S-Ti3C2T x The catalyst is filled in the reaction tube 11 with a filling volume of 1 to 5 cm. Dodecahydroethylcarbazole is dissolved in an ionic liquid and used as the raw material for the entire dehydrogenation process. This not only solves the problem of insufficient fluidity of dodecahydroethylcarbazole, but also reduces its volatilization, thereby reducing the cost caused by raw material loss.
[0049] First, the dehydrogenation raw material is added to the preheater 4 by a micro-injection pump 1 at a certain volume flow rate for fluid preheating treatment. The volume flow rate range can be: 0.001 μL-43.349 mL / min. The fluid is heated in the heating tube 3, and the heating temperature is regulated by a temperature controller with a programmed temperature system, which includes two digital thermocouple thermometers for temperature monitoring, one for monitoring the set temperature and the other for monitoring the real-time temperature. In the present invention, the temperature is set to 180°C.
[0050] After preheating 4, the raw materials enter the reactor 8 from the preheater 4. Liquid distributor 28 evenly distributes the stream, allowing it to flow from top to bottom in the reaction tube 11 until it contacts the catalyst, causing a dehydrogenation reaction. The temperature is set and maintained at 180°C during the reaction. The reaction products consist of ethylcarbazole organic compounds and hydrogen. The hydrogen flows from bottom to top in the reaction tube 11, passes through a demister 7 to remove entrained liquid, and then exits the reactor 8 through a pipe at the upper on-off valve 9. The dehydrogenated ethylcarbazole organic mixture flows from top to bottom in the reaction tube 11, exiting the reactor 8 through a pipe at the lower on-off valve 13.
[0051] The resulting ethylcarbazole organic mixture flows through the lower on-off valve 13 into the gas-liquid separator 15, where it undergoes gas-liquid separation. The liquid comprises a mixture of various ethylcarbazoles, including dodecahydroethylcarbazole, octahydroethylcarbazole, tetrahydroethylcarbazole, and ethylcarbazole, while the gas comprises hydrogen. After separation, the hydrogen flows out of the upper outlet of the gas-liquid separator and, controlled by the upper three-way valve 14, can be either combined with the hydrogen or evacuated. The liquid flows out of the lower outlet of the gas-liquid separator and, controlled by the lower three-way valve 17, can be directly collected as hydrogenation feedstock for the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation cycles or fed directly to a chromatograph for online component analysis.
[0052] The hydrogen produced previously is combined through the pipeline and then passes through the heat exchanger 2 to exchange heat with the initial dehydrogenation raw materials to fully utilize the energy. Thermocouple digital thermometers are installed before and after the heat exchanger 2 to monitor the temperature, and the hydrogen flow rate is regulated by the outlet temperature to keep the outlet hydrogen temperature at 80°C. The hydrogen after heat exchange is purified by the PSA pressure swing adsorption machine 21 to obtain hydrogen with higher purity, which can reach: ≥99.9995%. The high-purity hydrogen is then directly introduced into the negative electrode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 23 as fuel. The positive electrode fuel of the fuel cell is air, which is input to the positive electrode of the fuel cell by the air compressor.
[0053] The pipelines used in the process are kept insulated throughout the entire process to reduce energy loss during pipeline transportation.

After preheating, the fluid enters the reactor (8) from the preheater (4), and the stream is evenly distributed by the liquid distributor (28). The fluid flows from top to bottom in the reaction tube (11) until it contacts the catalyst layer (29), and a dehydrogenation reaction occurs. S2, the reaction product consists of ethylcarbazole organic matter and hydrogen, the hydrogen flows from bottom to top in the reaction tube (11), passes through the demister (7) to remove the entrained liquid, and flows out of the reactor (8) through the pipeline at the upper opening switch valve (9) to the heat exchanger (2); S3, the ethylcarbazole organic mixture after dehydrogenation flows from top to bottom in the reaction tube (11), flows out of the reactor (8) through the pipeline at the lower opening switch valve (13) to the gas-liquid separator (15); S4. After separation, hydrogen flows out from the upper outlet of the gas-liquid separator (15) and is controlled by the upper three-way valve (14) to flow into the heat exchanger (2), or the gas is evacuated; liquid flows out from the lower outlet of the gas-liquid separator (15) and is controlled by the lower three-way valve (17) to be directly collected as a hydrogenation feed for the dehydrogenation cycle, or directly enters the gas chromatograph (18) for online component analysis; S5, the hydrogen in the product is heat exchanged with the initial dehydrogenation raw material through the heat exchanger (2) to fully utilize the energy, and the hydrogen after heat exchange is purified by the PSA pressure swing adsorption machine (21); then the high-purity hydrogen is directly introduced into the negative electrode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (23) as fuel; the positive electrode fuel of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (23) is air input to the positive electrode of the fuel cell by the air compressor (27); The catalyst of the catalyst layer (29) is prepared as follows: Step 1: Preparation of Ti3C2T x carrier; Step 2: Preparation of Pt / S-Ti3C2T x Catalyst, the specific steps are as follows: 1) 0.1g multilayer Ti3C2T x The carrier and 0.4 g PVP were added to a 50 ml beaker, and then 20 ml deionized water was added. The mixture was ultrasonicated for 10 min and stirred at room temperature for 24 h to obtain mixture B. 2) Centrifuge the mixture B, wash it three times with deionized water, add 20 ml of deionized water, centrifuge and stir, and then disperse it to obtain PVP / Ti3C2T x Dispersion; add the corresponding mass of potassium chloroplatinate to another beaker according to the platinum loading of 1.0~5.0% mass fraction, and add 5ml of deionized water to dissolve it. Add the dissolved potassium chloroplatinate dropwise to the PVP / Ti3C2T x The dispersion was stirred for 24 h to obtain a mixture C; 3) 0.1 g of sodium borohydride solution was added dropwise to the mixture C and stirred for 6 h. After centrifugation, the mixture was washed with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol. The obtained solid was dried in a vacuum drying oven overnight to obtain Pt / S-Ti3C2T x catalyst.
