Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a chemical chain reaction hydrogen production system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, hydrogen production processes based on methane steam reforming dominate the market. Using syngas as an intermediate product, the gas is cooled and then converted to hydrogen-rich form via a water-gas shift reaction. Finally, CO2 is separated and H2 is purified through physical or chemical absorption methods. Because steam reforming is a strongly endothermic reaction, industrially, tubular reactors are typically used. Nickel-based catalysts are loaded onto the inner walls of the tubes to activate hydrocarbons, while heat is provided outside the tubes through fuel and air combustion. This places high demands on the reactor structure and materials. Furthermore, the CO2 produced during combustion mixes with residual air, requiring additional separation processes for carbon capture. Another way to provide the heat needed for steam reforming is to introduce pure oxygen into the reaction system for direct heating, but this requires expensive air separation equipment. Traditional thermochemical hydrogen production processes perform hydrocarbon separation at the end of the process, resulting in low integration of energy conversion and product separation, leading to numerous unit operations and high energy consumption for gas separation.

[0003] To overcome the above problems, improve energy conversion efficiency, and reduce production costs, researchers are constantly developing new thermochemical hydrogen production processes. Among them, chemical looping, as an advanced and efficient fuel conversion technology, can achieve near-zero energy consumption in-situ separation of products while producing hydrogen, and has received widespread attention.

[0004] Currently, chemical chain hydrogen production is mainly conducted in laboratory research and has not yet been scaled up for industrial production. Researchers have systematically developed oxygen carriers and processes. The main goals of oxygen carrier development are: (1) to improve the activity and selectivity of methane conversion, so that the C in methane is ultimately released and captured as CO2, thereby improving the carbon capture rate; (2) to optimize the oxygen carrier formulation or control the reaction time to inhibit carbon deposition in the reaction, thereby improving the hydrogen purity of the steam reforming unit; (3) to add additives or optimize the composition and structure of the oxygen carrier to reduce the methane conversion temperature, improve the oxygen utilization rate of the oxygen carrier, reduce the number of oxygen carrier cycles, and reduce the reaction energy consumption. The main objectives of the process system development are: (1) design of the reaction process flow, taking into account the heat absorption and release effects between different reactions, and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the reaction; (2) selection of reactor form, with fluidized bed and moving bed as the mainstream, to realize the efficient circulation of oxygen carrier in different reaction processes, realize the oxygen absorption and release process, and improve the compatibility effect of carbon capture and hydrogen production process; (3) reactor structure design, to improve the gas-solid mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency, and improve the reaction conversion rate.

[0005] CN115650168A discloses a methane chemical loop hydrogen production technology, employing a dual fixed-bed reactor and using an iron-nickel-alumina composite oxygen carrier to achieve methane combustion and pure water hydrogen production. This technology has the following main drawbacks: The dual fixed-bed reactor configuration for methane combustion and water hydrogen production results in an intermittent operation, requiring continuous monitoring and switching of the gas collection device. Furthermore, to eliminate carbon buildup, a carbon deposit gasification device is added, increasing methane consumption.

[0006] CN113753857A discloses a methane chemical loop hydrogen production technology, which combines a methane reforming reactor, a hydrogen production reactor, and a controller to realize the dry reforming reaction of methane and the process of producing hydrogen from water. The main drawbacks of this technology are as follows: It first performs a reforming process of methane and carbon dioxide gas, then uses the reformed syngas through a chemical loop process to achieve complete conversion of the syngas and the production of pure hydrogen from water vapor. The technology relies on a controller to close valves to control the entry of reformed gas into different reactors and the production of pure hydrogen from water vapor. This results in a complex device structure, which is not conducive to long-term continuous reaction operation.

[0007] CN107539949A discloses a chemical loop hydrogen production technology for methane. This technology employs a four-bed countercurrent moving bed reactor. In the methane combustion stage, a dual-bed countercurrent configuration is used to achieve further combustion of methane. Subsequently, hydrogen production from water and oxidation of the oxygen carrier are achieved through a water-to-hydrogen fluidized bed and an air riser reactor. The main drawback of this technology is that while the device achieves both methane combustion and water-to-hydrogen processes, there is a mismatch between the complete combustion of methane and the water-to-hydrogen process, resulting in low hydrogen yield and purity in the water-to-hydrogen stage.

[0008] Methane chemical looping for hydrogen production involves splitting the methane steam reforming process into two or three reactors. Carbon dioxide capture and hydrogen production are performed in different reactors, with the oxygen carrier circulating within each reactor to achieve different reaction processes. However, these different reaction processes have varying requirements for the equilibrium oxygen partial pressure and surface structure of the oxygen carrier. Two-bed or three-bed chemical looping methane production processes based on the same oxygen carrier struggle to simultaneously achieve high CO2 capture rates in the methane oxidation stage and high hydrogen yields in the water-to-hydrogen stage, as well as high methane conversion rates in the methane oxidation stage and high hydrogen purity in the water-to-hydrogen stage. This significantly hinders the industrial application of this chemical looping methane production process.

[0009] In summary, existing chemical chain hydrogen production technologies cannot simultaneously achieve high methane conversion rate, high CO2 capture rate, high hydrogen yield, and high hydrogen purity. Summary of the Invention

[0068] 2. The chemical chaining hydrogen production technology provided by this invention separates the thermodynamically incompatible processes of complete methane conversion to carbon dioxide (achieving carbon capture) and steam hydrogen production into two relatively independent units: partial methane oxidation and syngas hydrogen production. A multi-bed combined chemical chaining reaction system is used to achieve the complete methane conversion, carbon dioxide capture, and hydrogen production processes. The methane conversion section serves as a connecting bridge between the two units, dividing the methane conversion process into two reaction units. The first unit mainly involves the partial oxidation of methane, using a suitable amount of metallic Ni and a moderate equilibrium oxygen partial pressure (pO2 = 10). -22 -10 -17 ) of (Fe 0.3 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.2 Al 0.1 Co 0.2The 3O4 high-entropy spinel oxygen carrier converts methane into syngas, followed by gas-solid separation.

[0069] 3. The chemical chain hydrogen production technology provided by this invention incorporates steam reactors in both the methane conversion unit and the hydrogen production unit. After methane conversion in the first unit, the partially or completely reduced oxygen carrier enters the steam hydrogen production reactor to produce hydrogen. In the syngas conversion unit, carbon dioxide is captured while simultaneously yielding more hydrogen. This fully utilizes the lattice oxygen in the oxygen carrier, increasing the hydrogen yield.

[0071] 5.
