Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical catalysis and reaction engineering, specifically relating to a bifunctional catalyst for ammonia synthesis and ammonia decomposition reactions and its matching reaction separation system. Background Technology
[0002] Green ammonia (ammonia synthesized from hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources and nitrogen) has become a highly promising cross-seasonal energy storage carrier and indirect hydrogen energy carrier due to its advantages such as high energy density, easy storage and transportation, and zero carbon emissions. The application of green ammonia requires achieving a "two-step core process": first, timely conversion of intermittent hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources (such as wind power and photovoltaics) into ammonia for long-term storage; and second, efficient decomposition of ammonia into hydrogen for energy supply when needed. Therefore, developing a process system with both "ammonia synthesis and ammonia decomposition" functions is key to promoting the large-scale application of green ammonia.
[0003] However, existing technologies face significant bottlenecks in the synthesis and decomposition of green ammonia, specifically: 1) Incompatibility of catalysts: The mainstream ammonia synthesis reaction uses iron-based (high temperature and high pressure) or ruthenium-based (medium temperature and medium pressure) catalysts, while the ammonia decomposition reaction relies on nickel-based, cobalt-based, or noble metal catalysts. The active sites and reaction mechanisms of these two types of catalysts are completely different, making it impossible to achieve dual functions in the same reaction. Frequent disassembly of the reactor and replacement of the catalyst are required during production, which not only increases operating time but also easily leads to catalyst loss and raw material waste. 2) Single-function reaction system: Existing equipment is mostly a "single-reaction design"—either used only for ammonia synthesis (such as traditional Haber reactors) or only for ammonia decomposition (such as fixed-bed ammonia decomposition reactors). To achieve a "storage-utilization" cycle, two independent reaction devices, separation systems, and auxiliary equipment are required, increasing equipment investment costs by more than 30%. Furthermore, the system occupies a large area, and process switching is cumbersome, making it difficult to adapt to the flexibility requirements of distributed energy storage scenarios. 3) Insufficient reaction efficiency and economy: In a single-function system, unreacted raw materials (N2 / H2 in ammonia synthesis and NH3 in ammonia decomposition) are difficult to recover efficiently, and the raw material conversion rate is generally low (the single-pass conversion rate of ammonia synthesis is usually less than 20%). At the same time, the independent operation of the two systems requires repeated consumption of energy such as compression and heating, which further reduces the overall economy of green ammonia energy storage.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies cannot meet the integrated "storage-utilization" requirements of green ammonia. There is an urgent need to develop a bifunctional catalyst that can simultaneously catalyze ammonia synthesis and decomposition, as well as an integrated reaction separation system that can be adapted to the catalyst and flexibly switch between the two reactions. This would solve problems such as high equipment investment, cumbersome operation, and poor adaptability, and improve the efficiency and economy of green ammonia energy storage. Summary of the Invention

After cooling, obtain La. 1-x Sr x AlO3 perovskite support; Loading and activation of S2 and Ru S2.1 Weigh RuCl3·xH2O and dissolve it in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a RuCl3 ethanol solution with a concentration of 0.02-0.05 mol / L; S2.2, Take the La obtained in step S1 1-x Sr x An AlO3 perovskite support is impregnated in a RuCl3 ethanol solution, sonicated for 1 hour, and then stirred at room temperature for 20-24 hours. After filtration, the solid product is vacuum dried at 80°C for 6-8 hours, and then placed in an H2 atmosphere. The temperature is increased to 350-450°C at a rate of 5°C / min and kept at this temperature for 2-3 hours to form a bifunctional catalyst with Ru nanoparticles of 3-6 nm in diameter supported on the surface of the perovskite support.

[0019] C. Improved reaction efficiency and economy: The system of this invention achieves efficient recovery of unreacted raw materials (H2 / N2 or NH3) by integrating the ammonia permeation membrane module with the circulating compressor. The total conversion rate of ammonia synthesis raw materials is increased from 20% in the traditional single pass to ≥90% (after circulation), and the ammonia decomposition rate reaches 90%. At the same time, the integrated design reduces the repeated energy consumption of the compression and heating units, and the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of ammonia is reduced by 20-25%, which significantly improves the economy of green ammonia energy storage.
