Abstract

The present application relates to the field of rubber, and discloses a method and system for recycling hydrogen after hydrogenation reaction of unsaturated rubber and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: (1) condensing and performing first gas-liquid separation on residual hydrogen from the hydrogenation reaction of unsaturated rubber to obtain first gas phase and first liquid phase; (2) performing coalescence and pressure boosting on the first gas phase, and then performing second gas-liquid separation to obtain second gas phase and second liquid phase; (3) performing membrane separation treatment on the second gas phase to obtain permeation gas; and (4) performing pressure swing adsorption treatment on the permeation gas to obtain recycled hydrogen. The method combines membrane separation and pressure swing adsorption process technologies, fully utilizes the advantages of the two processes, ensures the recycling rate and quality of residual hydrogen after hydrogenation reaction, makes hydrogen as much as possible to be recycled, and improves the economy of the hydrogenation process of unsaturated rubber.
