Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen, oxygen and liquid separation, and specifically relates to a hydrogen, oxygen and liquid separation device for preparing green hydrogen. Background Art

[0002] As a clean and efficient energy carrier, green hydrogen plays a key role in the global energy transition. Its production is primarily achieved through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy. During this process, water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen, producing a large amount of mixed gas containing hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor. Due to the subsequent application needs of hydrogen and oxygen, as well as the requirements for safe storage and transportation, the efficient separation of hydrogen, oxygen, and liquid water in this mixed gas is essential.

[0003] Early gas-liquid separation technologies were relatively simple, often employing gravity settling, relying on the density difference between gas and liquid to achieve initial separation. However, this method suffers from low separation efficiency and struggles to effectively remove tiny droplets, failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-purity green hydrogen production. Existing hydrogen-oxygen-liquid separation devices for green hydrogen production utilize filter media separation technology. Fiber filtration channels allow the mixed gas to pass through a fiber layer, where the fibers intercept and adsorb droplets to achieve gas-liquid separation. However, this method is susceptible to fiber clogging, which reduces the membrane's anti-contamination ability and necessitates frequent filter media replacement. Furthermore, the slow liquid flow rate reduces separation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Drains are provided on either side of the lower end of the reactor 5. One drain is vertically and downwardly fixedly connected to the positive electrode chamber drain pipe 13, and the other drain is vertically and downwardly fixedly connected to the negative electrode chamber drain pipe 14. The positive and negative electrode chamber drain pipes 13 and 14 are located on either side of the proton exchange membrane 20. On-off valves are installed on the positive and negative electrode chamber drain pipes 13 and 14, as well as the water inlet pipe 9, the hydrogen discharge pipe 11, and the oxygen discharge pipe 12. The upper ends of the positive and negative electrode chamber drain pipes 13 and 14 are fixedly connected to a U-shaped material guide frame 40 within the reactor 5. Triangular discharge blocks 38 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the vibration plate 23 above the U-shaped material guide frame 40. The positive and negative electrode chamber drain pipes 13, 14, hydrogen discharge pipe 11, and oxygen discharge pipe 12 facilitate the discharge of hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen-oxygen liquid from the separation device through different pipes.

[0041] In this embodiment, a method for using a hydrogen-oxygen liquid separation device for producing green hydrogen includes the following steps:

[0042] In step 1, the hydrogen and oxygen liquid is first discharged into the reactor 5 by opening the water inlet pipe 9. Then, by activating the electrode cartridge 8, the positive and negative electrodes are respectively transferred to the conductive iron sheet 33 inside the cover plate 6 through the electrode column 17. The positive and negative electrodes are then transferred from the conductive iron sheet 33 to each electrode sheet 24. Because some water can pass through the proton exchange membrane 20 through mechanisms such as osmotic diffusion and electrodialysis drag, some water will also be present on the other side of the proton exchange membrane 20.

[0043] In step 2, the output shaft of the servo motor 7 drives the driving gear 15 to rotate, so that the lifting auger 25 rotates, thereby transporting the hydrogen and oxygen liquid in the reactor 5 upward from the bottom of the water guide cylinder 21, and then discharged through the lifting water outlet, so that the hydrogen and oxygen liquid is sprayed onto the electrode sheet 24 with a certain power, increasing the contact area between the electrode sheet 24 and the hydrogen and oxygen liquid, thereby improving the separation efficiency.

[0044] The driving gear 15 rotates to drive the driven gear 16 to rotate, thereby driving the conductive iron sheet 33 and the electrode sheet 24 to rotate, so that the hydrogen and oxygen liquid in the reactor 5 is stirred, so that the separation reaction can be better carried out. The hydrogen and oxygen generated on both sides of the proton exchange membrane 20 are discharged through the hydrogen exhaust pipe 11 and the oxygen exhaust pipe 12 respectively.

[0045] Step 3: After the device has been used for a certain period of time, the excess liquid in the reactor 5 can be discharged by opening the positive electrode chamber discharge pipe 13 and the negative electrode chamber discharge pipe 14 .

[0046] The drive motor 30 is started, and the worm 26 is driven to rotate through the drive motor 30 and the positioning wheel 18, and the reciprocating screw 19 is driven to rotate through the worm 26, so that the scrapers 22 at both ends of the reciprocating screw 19 move back and forth to clean the surface of the proton exchange membrane 20, and during the cleaning process, the worm 26 rotates, driving the ball 32 in the sliding groove 37 to move, so that the impact rod 28 moves upward. When it moves to the uppermost end, the moving plate 36, under the action of the telescopic spring 35, causes the impact rod 28 to move downward rapidly, and falls on the impact plate 27 to exert a downward pressure on the impact plate 27; the vibration plate 23 is driven to vibrate through the impact plate 27, thereby driving the proton exchange membrane 20 to vibrate, thereby assisting in cleaning the proton exchange membrane 20. The torsion spring at the lower end of the scraper 22 and the U-shaped collecting block 31 facilitate the collection of impurities cleaned by the scraper 22. When the scraper 22 moves to the middle, the triangular discharge block 38 causes the U-shaped collecting block 31 to tilt downward, thereby pouring the impurities into the U-shaped guide frame 40 on the positive electrode chamber discharge pipe 13 and the negative electrode chamber discharge pipe 14, thereby facilitating the discharge of impurities outside the device.
