Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic industry, and more particularly to a production device and a production method of electronic-grade hydrogen. Background Art

[0002] High-purity hydrogen is mainly used in semiconductors, electronics and petrochemical industries, among which the electronics industry is the market with the highest application demand, and has a high application demand in the production of electric vacuum materials, semiconductors, electron tubes, and amorphous silicon films. In high-end manufacturing industries such as electronics, fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, product quality is highly related to the purity of upstream gases, so higher purity high-purity hydrogen is often used. In the manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, high-purity hydrogen is one of the basic raw materials, and the purity of hydrogen has a great impact on product quality and energy consumption. In various hydrogenation industries using catalysts, the level of impurities in hydrogen determines the expensive catalyst life and product qualification rate, and thus determines the cost of the product. Therefore, the use of high-purity hydrogen can effectively improve product quality and profitability.

[0003] At present, the methods for refining high-purity hydrogen mainly include: condensation-low temperature adsorption method, low temperature absorption-adsorption method, pressure swing adsorption method, palladium membrane diffusion method, metal hydride method and the combined use of these methods. CN117160372A discloses a reaction device for producing hydrogen from methanol, which can improve the efficiency of producing hydrogen from methanol, but there is no purification operation and it is impossible to obtain products that meet industrial requirements; CN117839608A discloses a methanol hydrogen production device, which can improve the economic and environmental benefits of producing hydrogen from methanol, but the operation of the device is complicated and difficult to maintain; CN117658069A discloses a methanol hydrogen production system and a methanol hydrogen production process, which can achieve efficient utilization of thermal energy and low energy consumption, but the product obtained by this process has more impurities and cannot meet the needs of the market.

[0004] Therefore, taking into account many factors such as the economy of the device, the flexibility and reliability of the process, the difficulty of capacity expansion, the hydrogen content of the raw materials, the hydrogen purity requirements, and the impact of the impurity content on downstream devices, how to develop a device and method for producing high-purity electronic-grade hydrogen is an issue that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic grade hydrogen production device and a production method thereof to solve the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electronic grade hydrogen production device comprises a mixing tank, a heat exchanger, a vaporizer, a methanol catalytic cracking reactor, a cooler, a purification tower and a pressure swing adsorption tower group;

[0008] Among them, the mixing tank, heat exchanger, cooler, purification tower and pressure swing adsorption tower group are connected in sequence;

[0009] The heat exchanger, vaporizer, methanol catalytic cracking reactor and heat exchanger are cyclically connected;

[0010] The purification tower and mixing tank are connected.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressure swing adsorption tower group consists of 6 towers connected in parallel, including pressure swing adsorption tower I, pressure swing adsorption tower II, pressure swing adsorption tower III, pressure swing adsorption tower IV, pressure swing adsorption tower V and pressure swing adsorption tower VI.

[0012] A further beneficial effect of adopting the above method is that the pressure swing adsorption tower of the present invention is composed of 6 pressure swing adsorption towers working alternately according to a program, and can continuously obtain high-purity electronic grade hydrogen, and can realize the online tower cutting function.

[0013] A method for producing electronic-grade hydrogen, using the above-mentioned electronic-grade hydrogen production device, specifically comprises the following steps:

[0014] (1) mixing methanol solution and desalted water in a mixing tank to obtain a mixed solution;

[0015] (2) passing the mixed liquid into a heat exchanger to perform a first heat exchange with the high-temperature reformed gas obtained in the catalytic cracking conversion process, and then passing the mixed liquid into a vaporizer after the temperature is increased, and then the temperature is increased again and vaporized into gas to obtain vaporized gas;

[0017] (4) passing the high-temperature reformed gas into a heat exchanger to perform a second heat exchange with the mixed liquid, and then passing the high-temperature reformed gas into a cooler for cooling to obtain cooled gas;

[0019] (6) The purified gas is passed into a pressure swing adsorption tower group filled with adsorbent for adsorption, and finally an electronic grade hydrogen product is obtained at the top of the pressure swing adsorption tower group.

[0020] Furthermore, in the above step (1), the salt content of the desalted water is 1-5 mg / L; the mass ratio of the methanol solution to the desalted water is (1-2):1, preferably 1.8:1.

[0021] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above method is that the present invention mixes the methanol solution with the desalted water, which has the following effects: 1. increasing the reaction rate, which is conducive to the occurrence of subsequent reactions; 2. changing the solubility of the methanol solution; 3. controlling the reaction conditions; 4. reducing the corrosion of the methanol solution to the metal; 5. the catalyst of the methanol cracking reaction will react with the chloride ions in the desalted water to generate copper chloride, which makes the catalyst inactive.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above step (2), the temperature is raised to 180°C and then introduced into a vaporizer, and the temperature is raised to 200°C again and vaporized into gas.

[0023] A further beneficial effect of the above is that the heat medium source of the heat exchanger of the present invention is the high-temperature conversion gas obtained in the catalytic cracking conversion process, which makes full use of the residual heat energy, realizes full utilization of energy, and achieves the purpose of energy saving.

[0024] Furthermore, in the above step (3), the methanol catalytic cracking reactor is a tube-in-tube fixed bed reactor, and high-temperature heat transfer oil is installed in the shell side; the catalyst is at least one of a copper-zinc catalyst, an alumina catalyst, a medium-temperature synergistic reaction catalyst, a nickel-based catalyst and an activated carbon catalyst, such as SCST-402 methanol cracking hydrogen production catalyst, M650 methanol cracking hydrogen production catalyst and TCJ-1 methanol cracking hydrogen production catalyst.

[0025] Furthermore, in the above step (3), the temperature of the catalytic cracking conversion is 200-300° C. and the pressure is 0.8-2.5 MPa.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above step (5), the washing liquid is circulating methanol; the washing and purification temperature is -30 to -60°C, and the pressure is 4 to 7 MPa.

[0028] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above method is that the present invention can efficiently purify and effectively remove impurities by washing and purifying, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Moreover, the present invention uses production raw materials as washing liquid, and compared with other methods, no other impurities are introduced, and the energy consumption is much lower than that of distillation operation.

[0029] Furthermore, in the above step (6), the pressure swing adsorption tower group is a fixed adsorption bed; and the adsorbent is at least one of activated carbon and 5A molecular sieve.

[0030] Furthermore, in the above step (6), the adsorption temperature is 20-40° C. and the pressure is 0.1-2 MPa.

[0031] A further beneficial effect of adopting the above method is that the adsorption treatment performed by the present invention has a wider application range compared to other operations, and has the characteristics of high efficiency and large adsorption capacity. In addition, the equipment structure of the adsorption tower is compact, the footprint is small, the maintenance cost is low, the operation is safe, and the energy consumption is low.
