[0027] The hydrogen preparation process of the hydrogen preparation device in the application is as follows: 1. wastewater pretreatment Screening: high concentration organic wastewater (COD 8000-50000 mg / L) was screened by a screening tank to intercept suspended solids (SS > 500 mg / L); Homogenization adjustment: the filtered wastewater entered the adjustment tank, heated to 35-40℃ by solar sandwich, and pH was adjusted to 6.0-7.0 by adding acid / base, and stayed for 2-4 hours.

[0028] 2. Dark fermentation for hydrogen production Anaerobic hydrogen production: the pretreated wastewater was pumped into an anaerobic fermentation reactor (35±1℃), and anaerobic hydrogen-producing bacteria were inoculated to decompose organic matter, producing: Gas phase products: H2 (60-70%), CO2 (30-40%), and trace amounts of H2S (50-200 ppm).

[0029] Liquid phase products: fermentation broth containing volatile organic acids (VFA, acetic acid + butyric acid > 8 g / L).

[0030] Gas shunting: Main gas outlet pipe → dark fermentation main gas (90-95% gas phase products) → dry desulfurization tower (remove H2S).

[0031] Shunt gas outlet pipe → dark fermentation branch gas (5-10% gas phase products) → shunt valve (depressurized to 0.02 MPa) → input gas stripping acid removal tower.

[0032] 3. Intermediate product transfer Gas stripping acid removal: The dark fermentation liquid phase product entered the bottom of the gas stripping acid removal tower, and the dark fermentation branch gas was injected from the bottom (gas-liquid ratio 1:3); The liquid phase product was heated to 50±2℃ by a heat exchanger (to enhance volatility); During the gas rising process, organic acids were "stripped" from the liquid phase to form acid vapor mixture; Acid mist capture: The tower top exhaust gas (containing H2 + organic acid vapor) passed through an acid mist collector (Φ25mm ceramic Laxi ring, height-diameter ratio 3:1), which captured >90% of the acid mist.

[0033] pH adjustment: The liquid phase product after acid removal entered the pH adjustment tank, and NaHCO3, corn syrup 0.5 g / L, and MgCl2 10 mg / L were added to adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5.

[0034] 4. Photofermentation for hydrogen production Photosynthetic conversion: the liquid phase product after pH adjustment was pumped into a photosynthetic reactor (30±1℃), inoculated with photosynthetic hydrogen-producing bacteria, and used organic acids for photosynthesis to produce high-purity hydrogen gas (photofermentation gas, H2 > 95%, CO2 < 5%); Gas pressurization: photofementation gas is pressurized to 0.03 MPa by Roots blower (0.01 MPa lower than the outlet pressure of dry desulfurization tower).

[0035] 5. Gas integration purification Gas-water separation: after removing H2S by dry desulfurization tower, after removing acid mist by acid mist catcher, and after pressurization by Roots blower, the dark fermentation main road gas, the gas stripping deacidification tower exhaust gas, and the photofementation gas enter the gas-water separator to remove water mist in the gas; Mixing and pressure equalization: the gas after removing water mist enters the mixing buffer tank to equalize the gas pressure and balance the flow fluctuation; Membrane separation: the gas after pressure equalization by the mixing buffer tank enters the PTFE membrane separator (H2 permeation rate > 95%) for membrane separation; Alkaline washing: the permeated gas (H2 > 90%) enters the alkaline washing tower (5% NaOH circulation) to absorb residual CO2 and H2S, and produces hydrogen gas with a purity of > 99.5%.

[0036] 6. Hydrogen storage and leakage monitoring Hydrogen storage: the purified hydrogen gas is input into the hydrogen storage tank 101; Leakage monitoring: the leakage monitoring unit monitors the hydrogen storage tank 101 in real time, and when hydrogen leakage is detected in the hydrogen storage tank 101, an alarm is given through the leakage alarm module.

[0037] During monitoring, the driving flow fan 205 continuously draws air from bottom to top, so that an air flow from bottom to top can be formed in the tank cylinder 201. The top tank air inlet net cylinder 210 not only serves as a support for the hydrogen storage tank 101, but also allows air to enter the tank cylinder 201 from the bottom of the tank cylinder 201, so that the air flow can be smoothly formed. The air flow will eventually be discharged outward through the exhaust pipe 206. When the air flow passes through the exhaust pipe 206, the hydrogen sensor 208 will monitor the hydrogen concentration in the air flow in real time. If there is a leakage in the hydrogen storage tank 101, the hydrogen concentration will abnormally increase, so that the leakage of the hydrogen storage tank 101 can be found according to the hydrogen concentration data monitored by the hydrogen sensor 208; In addition, the inlet pipe 102 needs to be connected to the outlet of the alkaline scrubbing tower through a gas transmission pipeline, and the outlet pipe 103 needs to be connected to hydrogen-using equipment or hydrogen application systems through a gas transmission pipeline. The connection between the inlet pipe 102, the outlet pipe 103 and the gas transmission pipeline is also prone to leakage. The inlet conduit 202 and the outlet conduit 203 can play a guiding role. Under the action of the flow-driving fan 205, the connection between the inlet pipe 102, the outlet pipe 103 and the gas transmission pipeline will form an airflow from the outside of the tank cylinder 201 to the inside of the tank cylinder 201, and the airflow will eventually flow to the exhaust pipe 206. Therefore, if there is a leakage at the connection between the inlet pipe 102 or the outlet pipe 103 and the gas transmission pipeline, it will also cause an abnormal increase in hydrogen concentration. This leakage can be detected based on the hydrogen concentration data monitored by the hydrogen sensor 208, so that the leakage monitoring unit can comprehensively monitor the leakage of the hydrogen storage tank 101. The analysis and leak detection module has a preset real-time concentration threshold. The hydrogen concentration data monitored by the hydrogen sensor 208 will be transmitted to the analysis and leak detection module in real time. When the hydrogen concentration exceeds the real-time concentration threshold, the analysis and leak detection module will control the leak alarm module to issue an alarm. Therefore, the hydrogen production device in this application can efficiently convert high-concentration organic wastewater into high-purity hydrogen, realizing the transformation of waste into treasure. Moreover, the leakage monitoring unit can perform comprehensive real-time monitoring of the hydrogen storage unit based on the active airflow guidance mechanism. Whether it is the hydrogen storage container itself or the connection point of the gas pipeline connected to the outside, once a hydrogen leak occurs, it can be detected and alarmed in time, significantly improving the safety of the hydrogen production process.

[0038] Second implementation method: Figures 6-8 This invention discloses a hydrogen production device for high-concentration organic wastewater. Unlike the first embodiment, the leak monitoring unit further includes a precision control module, and the tank monitoring mechanism further includes a pressure gas precision component. The pressure gas precision component includes a pressure cylinder 301 and a solenoid valve 302. A vertically downward-oriented electric push rod 303 is fixedly installed inside the pressure cylinder 301. The output end of the electric push rod 303 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 304 that is slidably and sealingly connected to the pressure cylinder 301. Multiple exhaust holes 305 are evenly distributed in a ring on the side wall of the electric push rod 303. The pressure cylinder 301 is located above the exhaust pipe 206, and the top end of the exhaust pipe 206 is connected to the interior of the pressure cylinder 301. The solenoid valve 302 is located on the exhaust pipe 206 and below the hydrogen sensor 208. The precision control module is signal-connected to the flow fan 205, the solenoid valve 302, and the leak analysis module. The exhaust holes 305 are located below the pressure plate 304.

[0039] During monitoring, the electromagnetic valve 302 is in an open state, and the gas flow can flow into the air cylinder 301 through the exhaust pipe 206 and then be discharged to the outside of the air cylinder 301 through the exhaust hole 305, so that real-time monitoring of the hydrogen storage unit can be smoothly carried out. For the convenience of description, the monitoring when the inlet sleeve conduit 202 is in the starting state and the electromagnetic valve 302 is in the open state is referred to as daily real-time monitoring. During daily real-time monitoring, the analysis and leakage judgment module determines whether there is a hydrogen leakage phenomenon according to the hydrogen concentration data monitored by the hydrogen sensor 208 and the real-time concentration threshold value. The fine verification control module is preconfigured with a periodic parameter, and in this embodiment, the analysis and leakage judgment module is also preconfigured with a fine verification concentration threshold value. The fine verification control module will periodically perform the following fine verification operation according to the periodic parameter: Firstly, the fine verification control module will close the flow driving fan 205 and the exhaust pipe 206, and then the fine verification control module will control the electric push rod 303 to drive the air cylinder plate 304 to move downward, so that the air cylinder plate 304 moves to the lower side of the exhaust hole 305 and continues to move a certain distance (the total distance of the movement is preconfigured in the fine verification control module). After the exhaust hole 305 is moved, the fine verification control module sends a signal to the analysis and leakage judgment module, so that the analysis and leakage judgment module compares the hydrogen concentration data monitored by the hydrogen sensor 208 with the fine verification concentration threshold value. If the hydrogen concentration exceeds the fine verification concentration threshold value, the analysis and leakage judgment module will control the leakage alarm module to alarm. After the comparison is completed, the analysis and leakage judgment module sends a feedback signal to the fine verification control module, so that the fine verification control module controls the electric push rod 303 to drive the air cylinder plate 304 to move upward and reset, and opens the electromagnetic valve 302 and restarts the flow driving fan 205 to restore the daily real-time monitoring. When the hydrogen storage unit has a slight leakage phenomenon, due to the limitation of the monitoring accuracy of the hydrogen sensor 208, the analysis and leakage judgment module may not be able to discover it in time. However, during the fine verification, the air cylinder plate 304 continues to move after moving to the lower side of the exhaust hole 305, which compresses the air below it, i.e. the air located between the air cylinder 301 and the exhaust pipe 206 and between the air cylinder plate 304 and the electromagnetic valve 302 is compressed. Then, the hydrogen concentration in this part of the air will also increase accordingly. At this time, the hydrogen concentration data monitored by the hydrogen sensor 208 corresponds to the hydrogen concentration of this part of the air. Since the compressed air can increase the hydrogen concentration, the data can be amplified, and thus the slight leakage phenomenon of the hydrogen storage unit can be discovered in time. Therefore, through the joint setting of the air cylinder fine verification assembly and the fine verification control module, the fine verification control module can periodically perform fine verification operations, so that if the hydrogen storage unit has a slight leakage phenomenon, it can also be discovered and alarmed in time, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the hydrogen leakage monitoring and further improving the safety of the hydrogen production process.

[0040] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are combined with the current actual demand, the protection scope is not limited to this, various changes made within the knowledge range of the person skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present application still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
