[0002] Low cost, high density and safe storage and transportation of hydrogen are the key challenges faced in realizing large-scale application of hydrogen energy. Among the many hydrogen storage solutions, ammonia (NH3) is considered to be the most promising and efficient liquid storage and transportation carrier. In the process of hydrogen production by ammonia decomposition, ammonia generates hydrogen and nitrogen under certain temperature and pressure conditions under the action of an ammonia decomposition catalyst, and then undergoes temperature swing adsorption (TSA) deamination and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) purification to separate H2 and N2 to obtain high-purity hydrogen.

[0003] In the actual production process, the desorbed gas after pressure swing adsorption contains a large amount of H2 and residual ammonia, the combustible gas content is greater than 30% by volume, and the residual ammonia emission has pollution problems. At the same time, in the prior art, TSA is regenerated by nitrogen, and the regeneration tail gas treatment requires additional environmental protection facilities and the ammonia utilization rate is not high. The ammonia decomposition hydrogen production reaction is an endothermic reaction, and the entire device requires an external heat source. In the prior art, some ammonia decomposition hydrogen production devices use electric heating systems as heat sources, which have the problem of high comprehensive energy consumption.

The reaction conditions were: 450° C., 5 kPa, 1% hydrogen volume fraction, 0.8% oxygen mass fraction, 0.1% ammonia volume fraction, and the rest nitrogen. The gas hourly space velocity was 10000 h -1 The unreacted hydrogen product was analyzed online by a 490-type chromatograph with a TCD detector, and the residual ammonia was tested and analyzed by an online infrared analyzer. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0161] Table 2

[0162] catalyst Residual ammonia content S3 <![CDATA[18mg / m 3 ]]> S7 <![CDATA[472mg / m 3 ]]>

[0163] It can be seen from the results in Table 2 that the residual ammonia content when the S3 catalyst is used for the ammonia decomposition reaction is significantly lower than that of the S7 catalyst, indicating that the S3 catalyst has a better ammonia decomposition hydrogen production effect, which not only ensures the utilization efficiency of the reaction raw material ammonia, but also solves the environmental protection problem of residual ammonia emissions.

[0164] Example

[0165] Use Figure 1 The process flow shown in the figure uses the catalysts S1 to S7 prepared in the above preparation examples in combination, adopts catalytic oxidation reaction as the heat source, and the catalytic oxidation catalyst filling volume in the catalytic oxidation reaction zone is 0.35m 3 , the thermally conductive inert material SiC filling volume is 0.8m 3 , reaction outlet pressure 5kPa, volume space velocity 8500~12000h -1 The inner diameter of the reaction tube in the ammonia decomposition reaction zone is 48 mm, the number of tubes is 10, the total length of each tube is 10 m, and the catalyst loading volume is 0.2 m 3 , reaction pressure 0.1MPa, outlet temperature 450℃.

[0166] After the ammonia conversion reaction unit is heated to 450°C by an electric heater, the ammonia flow rate in the ammonia decomposition reaction zone is 24kg / h to 36kg / h and the reaction is started at a light load. The mixed material of the desorbed gas enters the catalytic oxidation reactor, and the circulating air flow rate in the catalytic oxidation reaction zone is controlled to be 3500Nm 3 / h, the oxygen content at the tube outlet is between 0.5 and 1.5 volume %. Gradually adjust to the full load of 120kg / h for the ammonia decomposition hydrogen production system, adjust the PSA yield to make the hydrogen product purity qualified, and the TSA regeneration hydrogen flow rate is 20Nm 3 / h, the outlet temperature of the stable ammonia decomposition reaction is 450°C.

[0168]

[0169] From the results in Table 3, it can be seen that by using the S1, S2 and S3 catalysts in combination for ammonia decomposition to produce hydrogen, the residual ammonia content is significantly lower than that of other combinations. The method of the present invention not only ensures the utilization efficiency of the reaction raw material ammonia, but also solves the environmental protection problem of residual ammonia emissions. Comparing No. 1, 5 and 6, it can be seen that the shell structure has a greater impact on the performance of the deep catalytic oxidant. At the same time, the deep oxidation reaction has a significant impact on whether the catalytic oxidation unit emissions are qualified, and has a weak impact on the reaction effect of the ammonia decomposition unit; comparing No. 4, 7 and 8, it can be seen that the direct oxidation zone reaction effect affects the heating effect on the overall reaction of ammonia decomposition, and the introduction of the component tungsten can effectively increase the reaction depth.

[0170] Comparative Example

[0171] The ammonia decomposition reaction was carried out according to the method of Example 1, except that the commonly used electric heating furnace structure was used as the ammonia conversion device, and no catalytic oxidation reaction was carried out.

[0172] As can be seen from the above, by adopting the shell and tube ammonia conversion device of the present invention, the entire hydrogen production process does not need to add additional external heat sources and equipment, and has higher energy efficiency. At the same time, the utilization efficiency of the reaction raw material ammonia is guaranteed, and the environmental protection problem of residual ammonia emissions is solved.
