Problems solved by technology

However, in order to absorb hydrogen into the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, a high hydrogen pressure is required, and at the same time, there are still problems that it cannot be used in an atmosphere of air or water vapor in the state of being adsorbed into the hydrogen-absorbing alloy.

Embodiment 1

[0068] The reaction system used in the examples is schematically shown in figure 1 . In the methane decomposition device of this embodiment, two reactors (hydrogen production device, tank) 4, 2 are connected to each other in a closed state by glass tubes 3, 9, and are installed in the system downstream of the reactor (tank) 2 The cold trap device 12 (the temperature of dry ice) and the gas circulation pump 8 constitute a gas circulation system connected and closed by glass tubes 3a, 3b, 9a, 9b.

[0069] As the methane decomposition catalyst 7 in the reactor (hydrogen production device) 4, a nickel catalyst supported on fine powder silica (fumed silica of CABOT: Cab-O-Sil [trademark]) was used. 0.1 g of this catalyst (Ni: 10 wt %) was placed in the reactor 4, and heated at 450° C. with a heating furnace.

[0070] Diindium trioxide (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was used as the reduced metal oxide 10 contained in the reactor (tank) 2 . 0.17 g of indium trioxide was add...

Embodiment 2

[0083] As the metal oxide 10, 0.1 g of ferric oxide (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was used instead of 0.17 g of indium trioxide, and the same experiment as in Example 1 was carried out. Other conditions are completely identical with embodiment 1. what you get with figure 2 and image 3 The same result is shown in Figure 4 ,Figure 5.

[0084] Figure 4 It shows the state where iron oxide is reduced by hydrogen at 400°C and the reduced iron oxide decomposes water vapor. At the beginning of time (a), about 1000 μmol of hydrogen is introduced from the outside, and the reduction and reoxidation of ferric oxide are repeated in a closed state. like Figure 4 As shown, in Example 2 using iron oxide as the metal oxide, the amount of hydrogen generated by introducing water vapor from the first time (b) to time (c) at time (c) is approximately 700 μmol is slightly lower than the amount of hydrogen introduced at the time (a), but almost the same amount of hydrogen is prod...

Abstract

Object of the invention is to construct a system wherein hydrogen is produced from hydrocarbons such as methane or natural gas that has methane using catalyst without emission of carbon dioxide and is used to reduce metal oxide, and hydrogen can be supplied by reaction between the reduce metal oxide and water, and hydrogen can be repeatedly generated by means of metal oxide of cassette type. In apparatus, using catalyst 7 carried on oxide, hydrogen is produced from methane gas without emission of carbon dioxide, using the hydrogen, reducing reaction of the metal oxide 10 is done, the cassette 2 accommodating the reduced metal oxide is removed, and then it is attached to a system which needs hydrogen, and the reduced metal oxide and water vapor are reacted to each other to supply hydrogen.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technology for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons such as methane and natural gas mainly composed of methane without generating carbon oxides such as carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide by using a catalyst. [0002] Modern civilization relies heavily on fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal. This continual burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon dioxide (the main climate-warming gas) in the atmosphere, causing significant changes in the Earth's climate. [0003] When hydrogen is burned for fuel cells, it does not produce carbon dioxide and is a clean fuel. In the era of fuel cells in the next century, hopes are placed on the production of hydrogen that does not generate carbon dioxide and the safe storage of hydrogen. Background technique [0004] As one of conventional hydrogen production methods, a method of partially oxidizing or steam-reforming petroleum or natural gas as a raw material ...
