[0022] The feeding device is turned on to send biomass raw materials into the circulating fluidized bed for reaction.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] 1. In this invention, the steam outlet of the electrically heated steam generator in a high-efficiency internal and external circulating fluidized bed hydrogen production device for oxygen-enriched biomass is connected to the bottom of the circulating fluidized bed via a first steam pipeline, the steam outlet of the electrically heated steam generator is connected to the middle of the circulating fluidized bed via a second steam pipeline, the steam outlet of the electrically heated steam generator is connected to the upper part of a cyclone separator via a third steam pipeline, and the steam outlet of the electrically heated steam generator is connected to the bottom of a reforming reactor via a fourth steam pipeline. Due to the large fluidized bed design... During preparation, uneven airflow distribution and large temperature gradients may exist, affecting the uniformity and efficiency of the gasification reaction. Therefore, to maintain high and stable gasification efficiency, four steam pipelines are set up. These four steam pipelines are respectively introduced into the bottom of the circulating fluidized bed, the middle of the circulating fluidized bed, the cyclone separator, and the reforming reactor. This maintains the steam and oxygen concentration throughout the circulating fluidized bed equipment. At the same time, the uniform distribution of steam has little impact on the residence time of the syngas and the heat distribution and heat transfer state within the circulating fluidized bed, thereby improving reaction efficiency and the hydrogen content in the syngas. Therefore, this invention uses four steam pipelines to introduce oxygen-enriched steam into the bottom of the circulating fluidized bed, the middle of the circulating fluidized bed, the cyclone separator, and the reforming reactor. This maintains the steam and oxygen concentration throughout the circulating fluidized bed equipment while having little impact on the residence time of the syngas and the heat distribution and heat transfer state within the circulating fluidized bed, thereby improving reaction efficiency and the hydrogen content in the syngas.

[0025] 2. In the oxygen-enriched biomass high-efficiency internal and external circulation fluidized bed hydrogen production device of the present invention, the reforming reactor is provided with a first porous baffle, a first annular baffle, a second annular baffle, and a second porous baffle arranged from top to bottom in the middle. The outer peripheries of the first porous baffle, the second porous baffle, the first annular baffle, and the second annular baffle are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reforming reactor. The inner ring of the first annular baffle is connected to the top of the cylindrical porous baffle, the bottom of the cylindrical porous baffle is connected to the inner ring of the second annular baffle, and the outer wall of the cylindrical porous baffle is connected to the reforming reactor. An annular gap is formed between the inner walls of the reactor, connecting to the inlet of the hydrogen-rich gas outlet. During the production of hydrogen-rich gas, steam is input from the bottom of the reforming reactor, while combustible gas is input from the top. The steam and combustible gas enter a cavity formed by a first porous baffle, a first annular baffle, a second annular baffle, a second porous baffle, and a cylindrical porous baffle. Under the action of a catalyst, a reforming reaction occurs. CH4, CO, and other components in the combustible gas react with the steam to generate hydrogen, further increasing the proportion of hydrogen in the gaseous products. Therefore, in this design, a cavity for accommodating the catalyst is formed in the middle of the reforming reactor by the first porous baffle, the first annular baffle, the second annular baffle, and the second porous baffle. Steam and combustible gas converge in this cavity and undergo a reforming reaction under the action of the catalyst, further increasing the proportion of hydrogen in the gaseous products.

[0026] 3. The gas distribution device in the oxygen-enriched biomass high-efficiency internal and external circulating fluidized bed hydrogen production device of the present invention includes an inner pipe and an outer pipe arranged coaxially. The outer pipe is fixedly installed in the mounting hole opened at the bottom of the reforming reactor. The middle part of the outer pipe is connected to the outlet end of the fourth steam pipe. The outer pipe is sleeved on the outside of the inner pipe. The lower end of the inner pipe is connected to the output end of the reducer. The input end of the reducer is connected to the output end of the booster motor. The bottom of the inner pipe is rotatably engaged with the outer pipe through a bearing. A vent hole penetrating the inner pipe wall is opened in the middle of the inner pipe. The upper part of the inner pipe passes through the outer pipe and is connected to the second gas distributor installed in the reforming reactor. By controlling the rotation of the inner pipe by the motor, the flow rate, velocity, and pressure of the steam entering the reforming reactor can be changed to ensure a more reasonable steam distribution and sufficient reaction inside the reforming reactor. At the same time, the gas distribution device and the second gas distributor can be rotatably set, so that the gas distribution gap and gas distribution hole are not easily blocked, and the gas distribution is more uniform. Therefore, this design can change the flow rate, velocity, and pressure of steam entering the reforming reactor by controlling the rotation of the internal pipes with a motor. At the same time, the gas distribution gaps and holes are not easily blocked, the gas distribution is more uniform, and the internal pressure of the reforming reactor can be balanced and the reaction is complete.
