TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of clean energy equipment, in particular to an ammonia decomposition hydrogen production system based on double adsorption and a hydrogen production method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hydrogen is a green clean energy with abundant sources, and has the characteristics of large energy density, high calorific value, abundant reserves, wide sources, high conversion efficiency, etc., and generates water after combustion without carbon emissions. However, hydrogen transportation and storage are key problems restricting the popularization and application of hydrogen energy technology; ammonia is a carbon-free hydrogen-rich carrier, and ammonia hydrogen storage has unique advantages such as high energy density, easy storage and transportation, high safety, mature industrial foundation, and carbon-free terminal emissions; ammonia can be used as a hydrogen storage carrier to produce hydrogen and nitrogen mixed gas or high-purity hydrogen on site through ammonia decomposition reaction at the energy terminal; ammonia decomposition hydrogen production is a key reaction process in the "ammonia-hydrogen" energy technology route, in which ammonia is decomposed by thermal catalysis to generate hydrogen and nitrogen with a volume fraction of 3:1. Due to the limitation of thermodynamic equilibrium, there is still a small amount of un-decomposed ammonia in the hydrogen and nitrogen mixed gas after ammonia decomposition, which usually needs to be removed to ppm level or even lower through adsorption for downstream application. However, in long-term use, the adsorbent will reach saturation and cannot continue to adsorb ammonia, and needs to be regularly desorbed and regenerated. In the prior art, more than 2 adsorption columns are usually required to be set up to stagger "adsorption-desorption" cycles to meet the long-term gas supply of the ammonia decomposition hydrogen production system, and in the desorption process of the existing process, not only N2 needs to be prepared to purge the adsorption column, increasing the system raw material cost and energy consumption, but also the purging effect is poor; ammonia is still inevitably released during the adsorption process, and if not treated, it will still be directly discharged into the atmosphere or converted into high-concentration nitrogen oxides (NOx) and discharged into the atmosphere, causing environmental pollution.

[0003] CN208308426U discloses an ammonia decomposition hydrogen production device, comprising a bottom plate, a box, a first adsorption tower and a second adsorption tower, the box is located above the bottom plate, a heat insulating plate is arranged in the box, a heat exchanger is arranged above the heat insulating plate, a valve is arranged between the heat exchanger and the box, one end of the heat exchanger penetrates through the box and is provided with a valve, the other end of the heat exchanger penetrates through the partition plate and is connected with the inside of the decomposition furnace, a gas pipe is arranged at the lower end of the decomposition furnace, the gas pipe penetrates through the box and is connected with the first adsorption tower and the second adsorption tower, molecular sieves are arranged in the first adsorption tower and the second adsorption tower, and the first adsorption tower and the second adsorption tower are connected through the valve. The patent converts liquid ammonia into ammonia gas through the heat exchanger, then converts the ammonia gas into nitrogen and hydrogen through the decomposition furnace to reduce the environmental damage of ammonia gas, then the hydrogen and nitrogen gas after decomposition are introduced into the adsorption tower for adsorption, and the gas purity of hydrogen and nitrogen is improved. The ammonia decomposition hydrogen production device of the patent needs to additionally use nitrogen to purge the adsorption tower, the raw material cost of the system is high, and there is a risk of ammonia gas leakage and environmental damage in the adsorption process.

Specifically, the first cold liquid inlet 211 and the first cold liquid outlet 212 are used to transport the liquid ammonia flowing out of the ammonia storage device 1, the first hot gas inlet 213 and the first hot gas outlet 214 are used to transport the mixed gas discharged from the ammonia decomposition reaction device 3 after being cooled by the second heat exchanger 22, wherein the first heat exchanger 21 can heat the liquid ammonia between the first cold liquid inlet 211 and the first cold liquid outlet 212 to vaporize and form ammonia gas, the heat exchange element of the first heat exchanger 21 can convert the heat of the mixed gas between the first hot gas inlet 213 and the first hot gas outlet 214 to the liquid ammonia flowing between the first cold liquid inlet 211 and the first cold liquid outlet 212, increase the temperature of the liquid ammonia to accelerate the vaporization of the liquid ammonia to generate ammonia gas, thereby reducing the heat required for subsequent heating of liquid ammonia, reducing heat consumption, and also effectively utilizing the heat generated by the system. In order to further control the amount of ammonia gas flowing into the second heat exchanger 22, so that the ammonia gas can fully decompose to generate sufficient hydrogen gas, the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 are provided with an adjusting valve 23, the adjusting valve 23 is used to adjust the gas flow of the ammonia gas generated by the vaporization of the liquid ammonia flowing into the second heat exchanger 22, thereby controlling the flow in the subsequent ammonia decomposition reaction device 3, so that the heat in the second heat exchanger 22 can be fully converted.The second cold gas inlet 221 and the second cold gas outlet 222 are used to transport the ammonia gas flowing out of the ammonia storage device 1 and vaporized by the first heat exchanger 21; the second hot gas inlet 223 and the second hot gas outlet 224 are used to transport the mixed gas discharged from the ammonia decomposition reaction device 3, wherein the heat exchange element of the second heat exchanger 22 can further heat the gas heated by the first heat exchanger 21 between the second cold gas inlet 221 and the second cold gas outlet 222 to reach the temperature required by the ammonia decomposition reaction, and the heat exchange element of the second heat exchanger 22 can transfer the heat of the mixed gas between the second hot gas inlet 223 and the second hot gas outlet 224 to the heat of the ammonia gas flowing between the second cold gas inlet 221 and the second cold gas outlet 222, which reduces the energy required to heat the ammonia gas to the ammonia decomposition reaction temperature and achieves the effect of saving energy loss; at the same time, the heat of the gas after ammonia decomposition is also effectively utilized, and the utilization rate of the system is improved.

[0050] In order to better control the inflow amount of liquid ammonia, so that the system can adjust the supply amount of liquid ammonia according to the actual production situation to obtain appropriate and sufficient hydrogen gas, the outlet of the ammonia storage device 1 is connected with a stop valve 11, and the stop valve 11 is connected with a liquid pump 12. Preferably, the liquid pump 12 is externally connected with a pressure transmission device, and through the pressure transmission device, the liquid pump 12 can adjust the inflow amount of liquid ammonia according to the pressure of the gas in the system, so as to ensure that the hydrogen gas generated by the reaction of the system can be within a stable interval, which improves the stability of the system and also improves the flexibility of the system, so as to ensure that the ammonia decomposition system has sufficient ammonia gas supply. One end of the liquid pump 12 is in communication with the first cold liquid inlet 211 of the first heat exchanger 21 through a pipeline.

The gas outlet 32 of the ammonia decomposition reaction device 3 is communicated with the second hot gas inlet 223 of the second heat exchanger 22. The mixed gas of the hydrogen gas and the nitrogen gas which is decomposed is then discharged into the second heat exchanger 22 to heat the ammonia gas which is introduced from the first heat exchanger 21.

[0052] After the ammonia gas heated by the second heat exchanger 22 flows into the ammonia decomposition reaction device 3 through the connecting device 10, the ammonia gas is decomposed to generate a mixed gas containing hydrogen, nitrogen and residual ammonia gas, and then the mixed gas is introduced into the second hot gas inlet 223 of the second heat exchanger 2 through the gas outlet of the ammonia decomposition reaction device 3, and then the heat of the mixed gas is transferred to the ammonia gas through the second heat transfer element in the second heat exchanger 22, so as to reduce the temperature of the mixed gas and increase the temperature of the ammonia gas, thereby reducing the energy loss. Since the gas after ammonia decomposition has a high temperature, in order to further reduce the temperature of the mixed gas, so that the mixed gas can be applied to the subsequent adsorption of the adsorption device and the purging of the adsorption column, and improve the adsorption effect and the purging effect of the adsorption device, the air cooling device 24 is connected between the second hot gas outlet 224 of the second heat exchanger 22 and the first hot gas inlet 213 of the first heat exchanger 21, and the air cooling device 24 is used to further reduce the temperature of the mixed gas discharged from the second heat exchanger 22, so that the mixed gas can be better applied to the subsequent adsorption and purging of the adsorption device, and at the same time, the energy required for the first heat exchanger 22 to convert heat is reduced, and the purging and adsorption effect is improved while the overall energy consumption of the system is reduced. After cooling by the air cooling device 24, the cooled mixed gas is then introduced into the first hot gas inlet 213 of the first heat exchanger 21, and then flows through the first heat transfer element in the first heat exchanger 21, and the first heat transfer element transfers the remaining heat of the cooled mixed gas to the liquid ammonia, so as to reduce the temperature of the mixed gas.

[0055] The gas exhausted from the second adsorption device 6 after being adsorbed by the first pressure adsorption column 61 or the second pressure adsorption column 62 is buffered by the second buffer device 9, and then enters the second pipeline 53 of the first adsorption device 5, and the corresponding control valve is opened to purge the first temperature adsorption column 51 or the second temperature adsorption column 52; when the sixth control valve f is opened, the gas buffered by the second buffer device 9 is introduced into the first temperature adsorption column 51 and purges the first temperature adsorption column 51, and when the eighth control valve h is opened, the gas buffered by the second buffer device 9 is introduced into the second temperature adsorption column 52 and purges the second temperature adsorption column 52. By using the gas buffered by the second buffer device 9 to purge the first adsorption device 5, the utilization rate of the gas in the system can be improved, the risk of ammonia or nitrogen oxides being discharged into the air is reduced, the purging effect is improved, external nitrogen is not needed for purging, the energy consumption is reduced, and the energy utilization rate of the system is improved. The second buffer device 9 can also exhaust part of the gas after adsorption, and the gas after adsorption by the second adsorption device 6 is then introduced into the terminal equipment (such asFigure 2 and Figure 3 The terminal equipment includes hydrogen storage equipment, hydrogen refueling stations, fuel cells, and internal combustion engines. After being adsorbed by the first adsorption device 5 and the second adsorption device 6, the hydrogen purity and content in the gas are higher, thereby effectively improving the working efficiency of the terminal equipment.

[0056] After the mixed gas is compressed by the first compression device 4, it is introduced into the first adsorption device 5. At this time, the first control valve a is opened first, and the mixed gas is introduced into the first temperature adsorption column 51 for room temperature adsorption after passing through the first control valve a. Then, the second control valve b is opened, and the mixed gas after adsorption is completed is introduced into the first buffer device 8 for buffering, so as to be used for further adsorption in the second adsorption device 6. When the first temperature adsorption column 51 has completed adsorption and reached saturation, the first control valve a is closed, and the third control valve c is opened, so that the mixed gas enters the second temperature adsorption column 52 for adsorption. At the same time, the fourth control valve d is opened to discharge the mixed gas after adsorption is completed from the second temperature adsorption column 52 and introduce it into the first buffer device 8 for buffering.

[0057] By employing a series connection of the first adsorption device 5 and the second adsorption device 6, and installing a control valve between the adsorption outlets of adjacent adsorption columns, and connecting the adsorption inlet of the first adsorption device 5 to a compression device, adsorption and purging of the adsorption columns can be performed simultaneously. This ensures that the adsorption device continuously adsorbs the mixed gas, thereby improving the adsorption effect and working efficiency of the adsorption device. Furthermore, by connecting the first adsorption device 5 and the second adsorption device 6 in series, and using the gas adsorbed by the second adsorption device 6 to purge the first adsorption device 5, the purging effect of the first adsorption device 5 is improved. This allows the first adsorption device 5 to more effectively adsorb ammonia in the mixed gas, effectively utilizing the mixed gas generated by the system, while also improving the system's purging effect and ammonia decomposition efficiency, reducing the risk of harmful gas emissions. After the mixed gas, adsorbed by both the first adsorption device 5 and the second adsorption device 6, is purged from the first adsorption device 5, it is then discharged into the ammonia decomposition reactor 3 for ammonia decomposition reaction. This further reduces the ammonia content in the mixed gas and increases the hydrogen content, reducing the risk of ammonia emissions, improving the system's gas utilization rate, and achieving 100% ammonia recycling.

[0058] After adsorption through the first temperature adsorption column 51 and the second temperature adsorption column 52, the adsorbed mixed gas is buffered in the first buffer device 8, and then enters the second gas pressure adsorption device 6. The ninth control valve i is opened, and the mixed gas passes through the ninth control valve i and enters the first gas pressure adsorption column 61 for pressure adsorption. Then, the tenth control valve j and the thirteenth control valve n are opened. The mixed gas after adsorption is discharged from the first gas pressure adsorption column 61 through the tenth control valve j for subsequent hydrogen application. 5-15% of the mixed gas enters the second gas pressure adsorption column 62 through the thirteenth control valve n for purging the second gas pressure adsorption column 62. When the first gas pressure adsorption column 61 is saturated after adsorption, the ninth control valve i and the tenth control valve j are closed, and the eleventh control valve k and the twelfth control valve m are opened. The mixed gas treated by the first buffer device 8 enters the second gas pressure adsorption column 62 for adsorption, and 5-15% of the mixed gas is introduced into the first gas pressure adsorption column 61 through the thirteenth control valve n for purging. Further, when the purging of the first gas pressure adsorption column 61 is completed, the fourteenth control valve p is opened. The purged mixed gas is discharged from the first gas pressure adsorption outlet 611 of the first gas pressure adsorption column 61 and enters the second buffer device 9 for buffering. When the purging of the second gas pressure adsorption column 62 is completed, the fifteenth control valve q is opened. The purged mixed gas is discharged from the second gas pressure adsorption outlet 621 of the second gas pressure adsorption column 62 and enters the second buffer device 9 for buffering. One outlet of the second buffer device 9 is in communication with the second pipeline 54 of the first adsorption device 5. According to the purging conditions of the first temperature adsorption column 51 and the second temperature adsorption column 52 at this time, the fifth control valve e in communication with the first temperature adsorption column 51 is opened, or the eighth control valve h in communication with the second temperature adsorption column 52 is opened. According to the adsorption conditions, the gas after adsorption by the second adsorption device 6 is introduced into the first temperature adsorption column 51 or the second temperature adsorption column 52 for purging. The purged gas is introduced into the second compression device 7 through the opened sixth control valve f or the seventh control valve g.

[0059] When the second temperature adsorption column 52 is saturated and the first temperature adsorption column 51 is completed, the adsorption can be performed again: that is, the second temperature adsorption column 52 is adsorbed first, and when the second temperature adsorption column 52 is saturated, the first temperature adsorption column 51 is adsorbed; similarly, when the second pressure adsorption column 62 is saturated and the first pressure adsorption column 61 is completed, the adsorption can be performed again: that is, the second pressure adsorption column 62 is adsorbed first, and the first pressure adsorption column 61 is purged, and after the purge is completed, the fourteenth control valve p is opened to guide the purged gas into the second buffer device 9 for buffering; when the second pressure adsorption column 62 is saturated, the first pressure adsorption column 61 is adsorbed, and the second pressure adsorption column 62 is purged; after the purge is completed, the fifteenth control valve q is opened, and the purged mixed gas is guided out through the second pressure adsorption inlet 621 of the second pressure adsorption column 62 and enters the second buffer device 9 through the fifteenth control valve q.

[0060] When the purge of the first temperature adsorption column 51 and the second temperature adsorption column 52 is completed, the remaining mixed gas after the purge and adsorption is then compressed by the second compression device 7, and then introduced into the ammonia decomposition reaction device 3 for ammonia decomposition reaction of the remaining residual ammonia; the remaining ammonia is prevented from flowing into the atmosphere or forming nitrogen oxides by heating combustion to form environmental impact, achieving 100% recycling of ammonia; and the mixed gas after ammonia decomposition is adsorbed by the first adsorption device 5 and the second adsorption device 6, so that the hydrogen-nitrogen mixed gas introduced into the gas collection device is deeply adsorbed and ammonia is removed, reducing the emission of harmful gases; at the same time, the ammonia decomposition hydrogen production system of the present application uses mixed gas and valves in cooperation, and uses temperature adjustment and gas pressure to adsorb the gas respectively, which improves the purity of hydrogen in the mixed gas after ammonia decomposition reaction, and uses the reacted gas to purge the adsorption column, without additional nitrogen purge, reducing the system use cost, and also improving the purge effect, so that the adsorption column has good adsorption capacity.
