Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a hydrogen production catalyst by methanol steam reforming and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a "clean" energy, hydrogen is considered to be the new key to cracking the energy crisis in the future and building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system. However, the difficulty in hydrogen storage and transportation is the problem faced by the current hydrogen utilization. Methanol (CH3OH) is the simplest saturated monohydric alcohol, which is a colorless liquid at normal temperature and pressure, easy to store and transport, and has high hydrogen production yield and efficiency. It is an ideal chemical hydrogen storage carrier. Taking the methanol industry as a hub can promote the optimization of the hydrogen energy industry and solve the problems of difficult transportation and storage of hydrogen.
[0003] The methanol hydrogen production reaction system includes direct cracking, steam reforming and partial oxidation. From the perspective of "atom economy", methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production is the hydrogen production method with the highest theoretical hydrogen production. This reaction has mild conditions, easy separation and few by-products, and has received the attention of many researchers. As an irreplaceable auxiliary in the production process of methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production, the performance of the catalyst is crucial. At present, the research and development of methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production catalysts mainly focuses on copper-based catalysts and noble metal catalysts. Compared with noble metal catalysts, copper-based catalysts have better low-temperature reforming activity, can selectively produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide under mild conditions, and have low cost. They are the main catalysts considered for industrial production of methanol steam reforming for hydrogen production. However, the Tammann temperature and Hüttig temperature of the active metal Cu in copper-based catalysts are very low. It is easy to migrate and agglomerate at high temperature, especially under hydrothermal conditions. The active particles sinter and grow, and the specific surface area decreases severely, resulting in a decrease in the reaction activity of the catalyst. Preventing and slowing down the migration of Cu active centers has become the key to improving the anti-sintering ability of the catalyst and the core of improving the stability of the catalyst and extending the service life of the catalyst.
[0004] Compared with copper-based catalysts, noble metal catalysts have better stability and can ensure that they will not lose activity at higher temperatures, but they are expensive and have insufficient low-temperature reaction activity. The optimal reaction temperature is usually higher than 250 °C, and they need to be used in combination with other catalysts to improve the low-temperature performance. The test cost is high, which is not convenient for large-scale industrial application. Summary of the Invention
