TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of equipment for non-metal electrolysis process, in particular to a hydrogen deoxidizer and hydrogen purification system for water electrolysis hydrogen production. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water electrolysis hydrogen production is a relatively convenient method for producing hydrogen. In the electrolytic cell filled with electrolyte, direct current is passed in, and water molecules on the electrode undergo electrochemical reaction to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. It is not difficult to see from the principle that the hydrogen produced by electrolysis usually contains a small amount of oxygen and gaseous water. As a chemical raw material and energy carrier, the purity and impurity content of hydrogen have different requirements for different application scenarios. Therefore, hydrogen purification is an essential part of the water electrolysis hydrogen production process.
[0003] In the prior art, the purification system for water electrolysis hydrogen production is a device for deep processing of hydrogen produced in the hydrogen production process, and its core components include a catalytic deoxidizer and an adsorption dehydration drying tower. The core task of the catalytic deoxidizer is to remove impurity oxygen in hydrogen. In the deoxidation process of electrolytic hydrogen, the commonly used catalyst is palladium, which can effectively promote the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen due to its high activity and excellent selectivity. To ensure the stable speed of the catalytic reaction, the deoxidizer usually adopts internal heating. This heating method increases the temperature of the entire system, providing the necessary kinetic energy for hydrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby accelerating their chemical reaction on the surface of the palladium catalyst. The product of this reaction is water, which is then separated and treated. After this series of process flows, the oxygen content in the hydrogen will be significantly reduced.
[0004] Figure 2 The structure of a common deoxidizer in the prior art is shown. The deoxidizer is an inner and outer cylinder structure, the catalyst is filled between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, and the explosion-proof electric heating assembly is installed in the inner cylinder. The raw hydrogen gas enters the inner cylinder from the upper end inlet of the deoxidizer, is heated by the electric heating element, and flows through the catalyst bed layer from bottom to top. The oxygen in the raw hydrogen gas reacts with hydrogen to form water under the action of the catalyst, and the oxygen content in the hydrogen gas flowing out of the outlet can be reduced to below 1 ppm. The water generated by the reaction is in gaseous form and flows out of the deoxidizer with the hydrogen gas. In the subsequent cooler, the water is condensed, filtered in the gas-water separator, and discharged from the system.
[0005] In the prior art, the catalyst (usually palladium, platinum, etc. supported on an alumina carrier) in the deoxidizer promotes the reaction of trace oxygen in hydrogen with hydrogen to generate water. In actual operation, the catalyst will gradually lose activity or performance due to various reasons. Catalyst deactivation or performance degradation directly affects the deoxidation effect and requires regular replacement of the catalyst. The above-mentioned existing deoxidizer has the technical problem of difficult catalyst replacement operation. SUMMARY

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 The process flow chart shown is the process flow chart of the prior art electrolytic cell A1 generating hydrogen gas to the purification equipment. As shown in the figure, in the electrolytic cell A1, water generates hydrogen gas and oxygen gas under the action of direct current; wherein, the hydrogen gas and the electrolyte enter the first hydrogen gas separator A2 in the auxiliary equipment frame under the action of the hydrogen alkaline solution circulating pump and the gas lifting force, and the gas-liquid separation is carried out under the action of gravity, the separated hydrogen gas removes the alkali steam entrained in the gas through the first hydrogen gas scrubber A3, and then the gas is cooled to below 35℃ through the first hydrogen gas cooler A4, and then the free water is removed through the first hydrogen gas drip catcher A5; after that, the gas is raised to the rated pressure (or given pressure) under the action of the membrane regulating valve, and then sent to the purification equipment for purification.
[0045] The deoxidizer is the first process equipment in the purification equipment. As Figure 2The structure of a common deoxidizer in the prior art is shown. The deoxidizer shown in the figure is an inner and outer cylinder structure, including an outer cylinder body 1 and an inner cylinder body 2; the inner cylinder body 2 is nested in the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1. Specifically, the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1 is a closed chamber, and a gas discharge pipe 101 is arranged on the side of the outer cylinder body 1. The inner cylinder body 2 penetrates into the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1 from the top end of the outer cylinder body 1; the top end of the inner cylinder body 2 is closed and protrudes from the top of the outer cylinder body 1, and a gas inlet pipe 201 is arranged on the part of the inner cylinder body 2 protruding from the top of the outer cylinder body 1. The bottom of the inner cylinder body 2 is open and communicates with the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1. A filler space is formed between the inner cylinder body 2 and the outer cylinder body 1, and a catalyst for deoxidation is filled in the filler space. In addition, an explosion-proof electric heating assembly 3 is arranged in the inner part of the inner cylinder body 2; two temperature sensors 4 are arranged at the top and bottom of the catalyst filler respectively, for detecting and controlling the reaction temperature.
[0046] The working principle of the above deoxidizer is as follows: raw hydrogen gas enters the inner cylinder body 2 from the gas inlet pipe 201 at the upper end of the deoxidizer, is heated by the explosion-proof electric heating assembly 3, and then diffuses into the catalyst from the bottom opening of the inner cylinder body 2; during the process of flowing through the catalyst bed from bottom to top, a small amount of oxygen in the hydrogen gas can react with the hydrogen gas to generate gaseous water, and the reacted hydrogen gas and gaseous water are discharged from the gas discharge pipe 101 of the deoxidizer; then enter the deoxidizing cooler C to condense the gaseous water in the gas into liquid water, and then enter the first gas-water separator F1 for gas-water separation; and then enter the drying device for drying.
[0047] In the prior art, the catalyst (usually a noble metal such as palladium or platinum supported on an alumina carrier) in the deoxidizer promotes the reaction of a small amount of oxygen in the hydrogen gas with the hydrogen gas to generate water. In actual operation, the catalyst will gradually lose activity or performance due to various reasons.
[0048] Firstly, physical blockage and pollution (main reason): water vapor poisoning: the hydrogen gas coming out of the electrolytic tank A1 is high-temperature saturated water vapor. Although there is usually a cooler and a gas-water separator before the deoxidizer, the gas may still carry fine water droplets or be in a high humidity state. These water will condense and soak the catalyst carrier, covering the active sites and causing the reaction efficiency to decrease. Long-term water vapor soaking may also cause the structural strength of the catalyst carrier (such as alumina) to decrease or even powder.
[0049] Secondly, impurity pollution: the raw material for electrolytic water is deionized water, which has very high purity, but there may still be a trace amount of impurities (such as metal ions) that may be brought into the purification system with the hydrogen gas. These impurities will be adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst, causing it to be "poisoned" and lose activity.
[0050] Third, sintering of active components: Deoxidation is an exothermic reaction that generates localized high temperatures. Although the system has temperature control, prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause precious metal particles to migrate, aggregate, and grow (sinter), resulting in a reduction in the total active surface area and decreased catalytic activity.
[0051] Catalyst deactivation or performance degradation directly affects deoxygenation efficiency, necessitating periodic catalyst replacement. The existing deoxygenators described above present technical challenges due to the difficulty of catalyst replacement operations.
[0052] To address the aforementioned problems, this application first provides a hydrogen deoxygenator for hydrogen production via water electrolysis. See also... Figure 3 The image shown is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a deaerator B provided in this application. Figure 4 What is shown is Figure 3 Side sectional view of deaerator B. Figure 5 What is shown is Figure 3 A diagram showing the internal structure of deaerator B.
[0053] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the deaerator B includes a cylindrical outer cylinder 1 and a cylindrical inner cylinder 2; the inner cylinder 2 is nested inside the outer cylinder 1. Specifically, the top and bottom of the outer cylinder 1 are closed, and the interior of the outer cylinder 1 is a closed chamber. A gas exhaust pipe 101 is provided on the upper side of the outer cylinder 1. The cylindrical inner cylinder 2 is inserted into the interior of the outer cylinder 1 from the top. Preferably, the inner cylinder 2 is coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 1. The top of the inner cylinder 2 is closed and extends beyond the top of the outer cylinder 1, and a gas inlet pipe 201 is provided on the portion of the inner cylinder 2 extending beyond the top of the outer cylinder 1; the bottom opening of the inner cylinder 2 inside the outer cylinder 1 communicates with the interior of the outer cylinder 1. An explosion-proof electric heating assembly 3 is provided inside the inner cylinder 2.
[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, to facilitate catalyst replacement, in this embodiment of the application, a feed port 102 and a discharge port 103 are provided on the side of the outer cylinder 1. The feed port 102 is located on the upper part of the side of the outer cylinder 1, and the discharge port 103 is located on the lower part of the side of the outer cylinder 1, and the discharge port 103 is higher than the bottom opening of the inner cylinder 2. The feed port 102 and the discharge port 103 are sealed with an openable sealing cap.
[0055] Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the feed port 102 is an upwardly curved circular tube with a circular opening at its end, and a circular sealing cap is provided on the circular opening. The discharge port 103 is a discharge channel formed by four sides; as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the four faces constituting the discharge port 103 extend from the notch on the outer cylinder 1 away from the outer cylinder 1, forming a rectangular opening at the end. The rectangular opening is positioned diagonally downwards, and a rectangular sealing cap 110 is provided on the rectangular opening.Figure 8 Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the discharge port 103 in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 6, the upper and lower faces of the discharge port 103 extend outwardly away from each other, wherein the upper face of the discharge port 103 is inclined upwardly and the lower face of the discharge port 103 is inclined downwardly; the height of the internal passage of the discharge port 103 gradually increases outwardly from the notch on the outer cylinder 1. Figure 6 As shown in Figure 6, the upper and lower faces of the discharge port 103 extend outwardly away from each other, wherein the upper face of the discharge port 103 is inclined upwardly and the lower face of the discharge port 103 is inclined downwardly; the height of the internal passage of the discharge port 103 gradually increases outwardly from the notch on the outer cylinder 1. Figure 8 As shown in Figure 6, the left and right faces of the discharge port 103 gradually approach each other during the outward extension from the notch on the outer cylinder 1. The long and flat notch on the outer cylinder 1 is converted into a rectangular opening with the end directed obliquely downward through the four faces of the discharge port 103, facilitating the setting of a sealing cover. This discharge passage also facilitates the smooth discharge of the material. Figure 8 As shown in Figure 6, the width of the long and flat notch on the outer cylinder 1 is less than half the circumference of the outer cylinder 1 and greater than one fourth of the circumference of the outer cylinder 1.
[0056] As shown in Figure 6, the long and flat notch on the outer cylinder 1 is less than half the circumference of the outer cylinder 1 and greater than one fourth of the circumference of the outer cylinder 1. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 6, the long and flat notch on the outer cylinder 1 is less than half the circumference of the outer cylinder 1 and greater than one fourth of the circumference of the outer cylinder 1. As shown in Figure 6, the long and flat notch on the outer cylinder 1 is less than half the circumference of the outer cylinder 1 and greater than one fourth of the circumference of the outer cylinder 1.
[0057] The bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a lifting drive device 6. The material support body 5 is connected to the lifting drive device 6 through a support frame 7, and the material support body 5 can be driven to move up and down along the inner cylinder 2 by the lifting drive device 6. When filling is required, the material support body 5 moves upwardly beyond the discharge port 103, at which time the discharge port 103 is located below the material support body 5, and the material support body 5 separates the filling space 104 above it from the discharge port 103, at which time the catalyst is filled and the catalyst will not enter the discharge port 103. Figure 6 Figure 7 shows a schematic view of the material support body 5 located above the discharge port 103 when filling the catalyst.
[0058] When it is needed to discharge the material, the material support 5 moves downwardly into the discharge port 103, so that the discharge port 103 communicates with the filling space 104 above the material support 5, and the catalyst in the filling space 104 can enter the discharge port 103, and the discharge can be carried out by opening the sealing cover on the discharge port 103. Figure 7 Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the material support 5 moving downwardly into the discharge port 103. At this time, the upper surface of the material support 5 is higher than the lower edge of the notch on the outer cylinder 1, or is flush with the lower edge of the notch on the outer cylinder 1. The upper surface of the material support 5 cannot be lower than the lower edge of the discharge port 103, otherwise the material is not easy to discharge.

The lower part of the side surface of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a discharge port 103. The filling port 102 and the discharge port 103 are closed by openable sealing covers.

Of course, the heating pipes can also be designed in other shapes such as spiral shape. By increasing the heat exchange surface area of the heating pipes, the heating efficiency can be improved.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment, a downward-facing spiral channel 1201 is provided inside the inner cylinder 2. This enhances the heating effect by increasing the length of the gas passage path.

[0071] Furthermore, the aforementioned existing deoxidizer B often suffers from low catalyst utilization efficiency due to uneven airflow distribution. Therefore, in one specific embodiment of this application, a conical diffuser plate 13 is provided below the opening at the bottom of the inner cylinder 2. The diameter of the diffuser plate 13 is larger than the diameter of the inner cylinder 2, and the diffuser plate 13 is coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder 2, with its tip pointing upwards.

Specifically, a plurality of cover supports 803 are arranged on the inner wall of the base 8, and the plurality of cover supports 803 are at the same height. The bottom edge of the inner cover 804 is lapped on the cover supports 803, and threaded connection holes are arranged on the inner cover 804 and the cover supports 803. The inner cover 804 is fixed on the cover supports 803 by using a bolt. In order to improve the sealing performance, a ring of elastic sealing rings is arranged on the edge of the inner cover 804, and the sealing rings are in interference fit with the inner wall of the base 8. In addition, linear bearings are arranged in the through holes on the inner cover 804 through which the four support rods 702 pass. The support rods 702 pass through the linear bearings and move up and down.
[0076] In the present application, the material support 5 can adopt the following forms.
[0077] Figure 16 As shown in the figure, the material support 5 is a circular ring plate, and the surface is covered with air holes. In this scheme, the discharge port 103 is in communication with the inside of the outer cylinder 1, and part of the gas will accumulate in the discharge port 103. In order to solve this technical problem, in one improved scheme of the present application, a circular ring plate-shaped material support 5 is arranged on the edge of the material support 5. As shown in the figure, Figure 18 As shown in the figure, a circular ring plate-shaped material support 5 is arranged on the edge of the material support 5. As shown in the figure, Figure 19 As shown in the figure, the cover part 501 covers the discharge port 103.

As shown in the figure, Figure 20 As shown in the figure, when the upper surface of the material support 5 descends into the discharge port 103, the discharge port 103 is in communication with the filler space 104.
[0078] Further, when the upper surface of the material support 5 is a plane, it is difficult to discharge the material.

As shown in Figure 1 . Figure 23 The upper surface of the material support 5 is improved to be inclined surface. As shown in Figure 2 In an alternative, the material support 5 is a cylindrical shell with a through hole in the middle, and the inner cylinder 2 passes through the through hole. The side of the cylindrical shell is raised to cover the discharge port 103. The upper surface of the material support 5 is inclined surface, which is lower on the side of the discharge port 103 than on the side away from the discharge port 103. A plurality of mounting through holes 502 are provided on the upper surface of the material support 5, and a diffusion pipe 503 is mounted in each mounting through hole 502.

The mounting through holes 502 are provided with internal threads, and the diffusion pipe 503 is provided with external threads. The diffusion pipe 503 is screwed into the mounting through hole 502.

In order to fully utilize the catalyst, the length of the diffusion pipe 503 can be designed to be longer in the present application. As shown in Figure 24 The diffusion pipe 503 is relatively short and protrudes from the upper surface of the material support 5. In order to fully utilize the catalyst, the length of the diffusion pipe 503 can be designed to be longer in the present application. As shown in
[0082] Further, in an alternative, the material support 5 in the present application can be vibrated, the vibration makes the material on the material support 5 more evenly distributed, avoiding the material to be accumulated on one side when filling. In addition, the vibration function can accelerate the discharging speed when discharging. Of course, the vibration can also make the material accumulated for a long time loose, avoiding caking. The present application is provided with a vibration drive for driving vibration, and the installation position of the vibration drive can be selected as the following preferred position.

[0085] Further, the present application provides a hydrogen purification system, as shown in Figure 27 , it is a schematic diagram of the hydrogen purification system of the present application. The system adopts a deoxidizer B plus three drying towers working process. The system is also the mainstream process system at present.
[0086] The hydrogen purification system mainly includes: one deoxidizer B, three drying towers, four coolers, four gas-water separators; in order to facilitate the description, the three drying towers are respectively named as the first drying tower D1, the second drying tower D2, and the third drying tower D3; the four coolers are respectively named as the deoxidation cooler C, the first drying cooler E1, the second drying cooler E2, and the third drying cooler E3; the four gas-water separators are respectively named as the first gas-water separator F1, the second gas-water separator F2, the third gas-water separator F3, and the fourth gas-water separator F4. The devices are connected through pipelines. Among them, the deoxidizer B, the deoxidation cooler C, and the first gas-water separator F1 are used together; each drying tower is matched with a drying cooler and a gas-water separator.
[0087] The working principle of the hydrogen purification system is as follows: hydrogen first passes through the deoxidizer B, and under the action of the catalyst, the oxygen in the hydrogen reacts with the hydrogen to generate water. Then, the gas passes through the deoxidizing cooler C to condense the gaseous water in the gas into liquid water, and then enters the first gas-water separator F1 for gas-water separation; then enters the drying tower for drying. The three drying towers are periodically alternately worked and regenerated, so their design conditions are completely the same. The drying tower is provided with molecular sieve, which has a certain adsorption effect on water, oxygen and other impurities, so as to achieve the purpose of removing water.
[0088] As Figure 28 shown is a structure display diagram of a drying tower provided by the present application. The drying tower structure is basically the same as the structure of the deoxidizer B in the present application, and is also an inner and outer cylinder structure, including an outer cylinder body 1 and an inner cylinder body 2; the inner cylinder body 2 is nested in the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1. The inner part of the outer cylinder body 1 is a closed chamber, and a gas discharge pipe 101 is arranged on the side of the outer cylinder body 1. The inner cylinder body 2 penetrates into the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1 from the top end of the outer cylinder body 1; the top end of the inner cylinder body 2 is closed and protrudes from the top of the outer cylinder body 1, and a gas inlet pipe 201 is arranged on the part of the inner cylinder body 2 protruding from the top of the outer cylinder body 1. The bottom of the inner cylinder body 2 is open and communicates with the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1. An explosion-proof electric heating assembly 3 is arranged in the inner cylinder body 2.
[0089] The difference between the drying tower and the deoxidizer B of the present application is that the bottom of the outer cylinder body 1 is closed by a lower head 15, a position-fixed material support body 5 is arranged in the inner part of the outer cylinder body 1 around the inner cylinder body 2, the material support body 5 is provided with a vent hole, and the space above the material support body 5 is a packing space 104 for loading molecular sieve.
[0090] The three drying towers are periodically alternately worked and regenerated, and the main working processes can be switched by pneumatic ball valves to realize automatic control requirements. Through the switching of the valves, the working process can be in the following three states.
[0091] ① State 1: the first drying tower D1 adsorbs; the second drying tower D2 regenerates and cold blows; and the third drying tower D3 secondly adsorbs.
[0092] ② State 2: the first drying tower D1 secondly adsorbs; the second drying tower D2 adsorbs; and the third drying tower D3 regenerates and cold blows.
[0093] ③ State 3: the first drying tower D1 regenerates and cold blows; the second drying tower D2 secondly adsorbs; and the third drying tower D3 adsorbs.
[0094] In the adsorption state: the drying tower is not heated, and full gas volume of hydrogen is introduced for operation, at this time, the water in the hydrogen after deoxidation will be adsorbed on the surface of the molecular sieve, and the hydrogen drying process is completed.
[0095] Regeneration, cold blowing state: including heating stage and blowing cold stage. Among them, the heating stage: the electric heating component (electric heating pipe) in the drying tower works with power on, the temperature in the drying tower will gradually rise, the water adsorbed on the molecular sieve will be gradually desorbed, when the temperature at the upper part of the drying tower reaches the interlocking limit value, regeneration is completed, at this time the control electric heating element stops heating. The blowing cold stage: after the electric heating element of the drying tower stops heating, the hydrogen gas flow with lower temperature continues to flow through the drying tower according to the original path, so that the drying tower cools down, and when the temperature reaches the set temperature, the blowing cold stage of the drying tower is completed, and the working state is switched.
[0096] Secondary adsorption state: the drying tower removes the water in the hydrogen gas (regeneration, cold blowing gas) by adsorption of the molecular sieve.
[0097] The principle of regeneration is to use hydrogen to raise the temperature of the molecular sieve in the drying tower to 250℃, so that the adsorbed impurities are desorbed and taken out of the system. The water resolved by the molecular sieve is first condensed by the cooler, and the condensed water is automatically discharged through the automatic valve. The regeneration process has no hydrogen discharge, and the blowing cold stage has a vacuum treatment to release the adsorbed impurities. The discharge amount is not greater than 0.5% of the total H2 production per cycle.
[0098] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the working process of the drying tower is as follows: at the beginning, the first drying tower D1 is regenerated, the second drying tower D2 works, and the third drying tower D3 works. Every 36 hours is a cycle period. Specifically, first, hydrogen enters the first drying tower D1, where the hydrogen is heated by the electric heating pipe, the heated hydrogen raises the temperature of the molecular sieve in the first drying tower D1 to 250℃, the water and impurities in the molecular sieve are vaporized and desorbed and taken out of the tower, and the condensed water is generated by the cooler, and the condensed water is automatically discharged to the outside of the system through the water collector. Hydrogen continues to enter the second drying tower D2 and is primary dried, and finally hydrogen enters the third drying tower D3 and is dried again to obtain qualified hydrogen which is then sent to the storage tank; 8 hours later, the first drying tower D1 completes heating and enters the blowing cold stage, the first drying tower D1 is no longer heated, (4 hours later, the first drying tower D1 enters the working state), at the same time, the raw hydrogen directly enters the second drying tower D2, the second drying tower D2 starts to heat and regenerate, and then the hydrogen enters the third drying tower D3 and is dried to obtain qualified hydrogen for external supply; 8 hours later, the second drying tower D2 enters the blowing cold stage (4 hours later, it enters the working state), at the same time, the third drying tower D3 starts to heat and regenerate, and the first drying tower D1 which has completed the blowing cold stage enters the working state; the first drying tower D1 works for 12 hours and then enters the heating and regeneration stage. In this way, a cycle is completed.
[0099] In a cycle, each drying tower is heated and regenerated for 8 hours and blown cold for 4 hours. The adsorption period of the drying tower is 12 hours, and the cycle of the three drying towers is 36 hours. Since the three drying towers are periodically switched to work, the design conditions of the three drying towers are the same.
[0100] Further, the present application also provides a skid-mounted hydrogen purification system for overall transportation. As shown in Figure 29 The present application is a skid-mounted hydrogen purification system. The hydrogen purification system is installed on a steel chassis. The largest and highest deoxidizer B and three drying towers are installed in the back row. The four coolers with medium volume and height are installed in the middle row. The four gas-water separators with the smallest volume and the lowest height are installed in the front row. The deoxidizing cooler C is arranged in front of the deoxidizer B, and the first gas-water separator F1 is arranged in front of the deoxidizing cooler C. Each drying tower is correspondingly provided with a drying cooler and a gas-water separator in front.
