Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a plasma-induced low-temperature reforming method for producing hydrogen from methanol with enhanced coupling adsorption, belonging to the field of combustion chemistry and materials technology. Background Technology
[0002] With global warming, air pollution, and energy shortages becoming increasingly prominent, the large-scale development and utilization of clean, low-carbon emerging energy sources is urgently needed. Hydrogen energy, with its advantages of wide availability, renewability, high energy density, and pollution-free byproducts, is hailed as the "ultimate energy" of the 21st century. The end-use applications of hydrogen energy are very extensive, covering multiple fields such as power, transportation, aerospace, and chemicals. Among these, fuel cells are one of the important new technologies for the efficient and clean utilization of hydrogen energy. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which directly convert hydrogen into electricity for power, can achieve truly low pollution or even zero emissions, providing a feasible technological path for the electrification of transportation.
[0003] Traditional hydrogen production processes mainly include coal-to-hydrogen, natural gas-to-hydrogen, and water electrolysis. Coal-to-hydrogen, due to its high investment cost, is typically only used for large-scale production; natural gas, as an important clean energy source, faces strict limitations in its application; and water electrolysis, due to its high power consumption, is currently only suitable for small-scale applications. Methanol is an ideal liquid hydrogen storage carrier and in-situ hydrogen supply carrier, possessing significant advantages such as high hydrogen storage capacity, wide availability, convenient transportation, and low price. Under different process conditions, methanol can be converted into hydrogen through various pathways, among which steam reforming is one of the most promising methods. However, the reforming process is often accompanied by methanol cracking and reverse water-gas shift reactions, leading to problems such as high CO selectivity, low methanol conversion rate, and low energy utilization efficiency.
[0004] Although adsorption enhancement technology can promote the forward shift of the CO-water-gas shift reaction and remove CO2 in situ, the high CO2 desorption temperature easily leads to deactivation of the catalytic adsorbent. Based on the above research, a novel plasma-induced low-temperature reforming method for methanol to produce hydrogen, coupled with adsorption enhancement, is proposed. This method effectively suppresses CO formation through adsorption enhancement, while employing plasma discharge to induce methanol reaction activation at low temperatures. The aim is to achieve high-yield, high-quality, and high-efficiency methanol-water-gas reforming for hydrogen production, and to promote the application of research results on real-time methanol hydrogen supply technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems of high CO selectivity, low methanol conversion rate, and low energy utilization efficiency in existing methanol steam reforming technologies, this invention proposes a plasma-induced low-temperature methanol reforming method with coupled adsorption enhancement, aiming to improve hydrogen purity, reduce carbon monoxide concentration, and achieve efficient methanol-to-hydrogen conversion.
[0006] A plasma-induced low-temperature reforming method for hydrogen production from methanol with coupled adsorption enhancement includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1): Mix the methanol reforming catalyst with the CO2 adsorbent to obtain a catalyst adsorbent sample. Weigh the reduced catalyst adsorbent sample and place it in the plasma reactor. Introduce nitrogen gas to purge all the gas in the device and check the airtightness.
[0008] Step 2): Prepare a methanol-water solution and introduce it into the preheating device at a flow rate of 0.004–0.01 ml / min using a constant flow pump for vaporization;
[0009] Step 3): The generated methanol vapor is fed into the plasma reactor for discharge experiment. The reactor outlet is connected to a gas chromatograph to detect H2, CO2, CO, N2, CH4 and unreacted methanol CH3OH products. When stopping the reaction, first turn off the constant flow pump to stop the feed, adjust the transformer input voltage to 0, turn off the plasma generator power switch, and finally adjust the nitrogen pressure reducing valve to 0.
[0010] Step 4): The reacted catalytic adsorbent is purged with nitrogen at 250-450℃ for desorption and regeneration. The regenerated catalytic adsorbent is then recycled according to steps 1) to 3).
[0011] This invention is the first to apply adsorption enhancement and plasma coupling to methanol reforming for hydrogen production. Based on effectively suppressing CO formation by utilizing adsorption enhancement, plasma discharge is used to induce methanol to achieve reaction activation at low temperature, thereby realizing efficient hydrogen production from methanol at low temperature.
[0012] In this invention, the reaction apparatus includes a gas cylinder, valves, a mass flow meter, a constant flow pump, a heating belt, a plasma reactor, and a gas chromatograph. The plasma reactor consists of a plasma generator, a transformer, an oscilloscope, and a power supply.
[0013] In step 1) of this invention, copper-based, palladium-based, platinum-based, and rhodium-based materials are used as catalysts for methanol steam reforming to provide active sites for the reaction, reduce the activation energy, and increase the reaction rate. Low-temperature potassium-based, sodium-based, and medium-temperature magnesium-based materials are used as CO2 adsorbents to promote the forward shift of the reaction and increase the hydrogen concentration. High-energy electron collisions generated at low temperatures by non-thermal barrier discharge induce methanol activation, thereby achieving high-conversion low-temperature reforming of methanol to produce hydrogen.
[0014] In this invention, in step 1), the reaction space velocity ranges from 1000 to 4000 h⁻¹. -1 .
[0015] In this invention, in step 1), the plasma reactor consists of a plasma generator, a transformer, an oscilloscope, and a power supply.
[0016] In this invention, in step 2), the water-to-alcohol ratio is 0.8 to 1.5:1.
[0017] In this invention, in step 3), the plasma discharge power is 30-70W and the discharge temperature is 120-200℃.
[0018] In this invention, in step 4), the desorption and regeneration temperature of the catalytic adsorbent is 250–450°C.
[0019] In this invention, the thermocatalytic methanol steam reforming experiment under the action of a single catalyst was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor as a control group. The experimental steps were the same as above, and the reaction temperature of the fixed-bed reactor was 160-220℃.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0021] 1) This invention reports for the first time the coupling of adsorption enhancement with plasma to achieve the preparation of high-purity hydrogen at low temperatures. Within the first 1.5 minutes of the reaction, the H2 concentration can reach 100%, meaning that the CO2 generated at the beginning of the reaction is completely adsorbed by the adsorbent. As time progresses, CO2 adsorption reaches saturation, and the H2 concentration stabilizes at around 75%. Furthermore, under adsorption enhancement conditions, the equilibrium of methanol cracking and reverse water-gas shift reaction is limited, effectively suppressing CO formation. Compared with single catalyst and single plasma discharge reactions, adsorption enhancement coupled with plasma significantly improves methanol conversion rate and hydrogen concentration at low temperatures.
[0022] 2) The high-energy electrons, ions, and free radicals generated during plasma discharge can collide and react with methanol molecules, effectively promoting the decomposition and conversion of methanol. These active substances can interact with the active sites on the catalyst surface, forming more active centers and significantly increasing the rate of methanol reforming. Plasma discharge can also maintain a high methanol conversion rate at low temperatures (<160℃), thus effectively inhibiting catalytic adsorbent deactivation and reducing the catalytic adsorbent desorption and regeneration temperature.
[0023] 3) Compared to conventional methanol steam reforming, the adsorption-enhanced coupled plasma reaction proceeds at lower temperatures and pressures, reducing the requirements for reaction equipment and decreasing energy consumption. The reaction yields higher-quality hydrogen, thereby improving energy density and power generation efficiency when used in conjunction with proton exchange membrane fuel cells, providing a new approach for achieving high-yield, high-quality, and high-efficiency methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production.
[0024] Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that the plasma-induced methanol low-temperature reforming method for hydrogen production by coupled adsorption enhancement has a low methanol conversion temperature, high hydrogen purity, simple and easy operation, and the produced hydrogen can be directly used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells with high energy efficiency and wide applicability.

As shown in the table, no CO or CH4 was generated in the products under either the plasma + adsorption enhancement or single adsorption enhancement conditions, indicating that adsorption enhancement inhibits the reaction byproduct CO. The hydrogen concentration and methanol conversion rate under the plasma + adsorption enhancement reaction conditions were significantly higher than those under single plasma and single adsorption enhancement conditions, indicating that the plasma-induced low-temperature reforming method for methanol to produce hydrogen using coupled adsorption enhancement can achieve a high methanol conversion rate at low temperatures, providing a new approach for achieving high-yield, high-quality, and high-efficiency methanol steam reforming to produce hydrogen.
