[0037] The oxidation reactor 6 is used to oxidize the reduced catalyst to obtain the catalyst and the second mixed gas (the second mixed gas at this time includes hydrogen and water vapor). The second waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 7 is arranged outside the oxidation reactor 6, and the second waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 7 is used to receive the second mixed gas and generate hydrogen.

The light-transmitting mirror 15 is disposed on the top of the reduction reactor 1, and the light-transmitting mirror 15 is used to receive the solar photothermal energy provided by the high-temperature focusing mechanism 14, and introduce the solar photothermal energy into the reduction reactor 1, thereby heating the reduction reactor 1.
[0047] Specifically, the light-transmitting mirror 15 is made of high-temperature resistant quartz glass, and flexible carbon fibers are arranged inside the glass, which can significantly enhance the strength of the quartz glass without affecting the light transmittance of the glass. The diameter of the light-transmitting mirror 15 is 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the diameter of the reduction reactor 1, and the preferred value is 1 / 3, which can effectively reduce the high-temperature radiation inside the reduction reactor 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the solar thermal catalytic fluidized reaction system for producing hydrogen further includes: a high-temperature heat storage tank 16 and a seventh pipeline 19. The high-temperature heat storage tank 16 is connected to the reduction reactor 1 through a fifth pipeline 17 and a sixth pipeline 18 respectively; and one end of the seventh pipeline 19 is connected to the bottom of the high-temperature heat storage tank 16, and the other end of the seventh pipeline 19 is connected to the first pipeline 3.
[0049] Specifically, the high temperature heat storage tank 16 is mainly used to store hot catalysts, so as to ensure that the overall system can work continuously at night or when there is no sunlight; the working process at night or when there is no sunlight is as follows:
[0050] 1. Low operating load 30%, minimum fluidizing load 30%;
[0051] 2. Regulating the second flow control valve 21 on the second pipeline 10 between the reduction reactor 1 and the lifting pipeline 9 of the oxidation reactor 6, controlling the opening of the second flow control valve 21 according to the production requirement to reduce the catalyst circulation amount, and reducing the second gas (for example, superheated steam, provided by the second gas supply mechanism 8) injected into the bottom of the lifting pipeline 9, and continuing to feed the fluidizing steam into the oxidation reactor 6;
[0052] 3. Adjust the opening of the connecting valve (the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25) between the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16. By reasonably arranging the height of the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 (the reduction reactor 1 is higher than the high-temperature heat storage tank 16), the catalyst is fluidized by gravity, and the catalyst (1400° C. to 1500° C.) stored in the high-temperature heat storage tank supplements the heat required for the reaction of the system.
[0053] 4. Lower the bottom of the reduction reactor 1 to the minimum fluidization flow rate according to production requirements;
[0054] 5. Turn off the catalyst heat collector 27 outside the oxidation reactor 6;
[0055] 6. Keep the temperature of the oxidation reactor 6 and the reduction reactor 1 consistent (900-1000° C.);
[0056] 7. A certain amount of methane and oxygen may also be introduced to allow methane to burn and release heat inside the reduction reactor 1 to supplement the heat required for the reaction;
[0057] 8. Under low conversion rate conditions, it can run continuously at night.
[0058] Specifically, when the device is started, the connecting valves (the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25) between the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 are opened, and then fluidizing gas (provided by the first gas supply mechanism 4) is injected into the bottom of the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 to allow the catalyst to flow between the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16.
[0059] The high-temperature focusing mechanism 14 and the light-transmitting mirror 15 introduce the solar energy heat into the reduction reactor 1, thereby heating the reduction reactor 1. When the temperature of the catalyst in the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 rises to 1500°C, the connecting valves (the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25) between the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 are closed, and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 stores the catalyst after high-temperature reduction for standby use.
[0060] The thermometer in the reduction reactor 1 is interlocked with the control mechanism of the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25. When the temperature in the reduction reactor 1 is lower than 1400°C, the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25 will automatically open to provide high-temperature catalyst for the reduction reactor 1.
[0061] In this embodiment, the solar photothermal catalytic fluidized reaction system for producing hydrogen also includes: a control mechanism, a first flow control valve 20, a second flow control valve 21, a third flow control valve 22, a fourth flow control valve 23, a first electrically controlled valve 24, a second electrically controlled valve 25, and a third electrically controlled valve 26. The first flow control valve 20 is arranged on the first pipeline 3, and the first flow control valve 20 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The second flow control valve 21 is arranged on the second pipeline 10, and the second flow control valve 21 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The third flow control valve 22 is arranged on the third pipeline 11, and the third flow control valve 22 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The fourth flow control valve 23 is arranged on the fourth pipeline 13, and the fourth flow control valve 23 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The first electrically controlled valve 24 is arranged on the fifth pipeline 17, and the first electrically controlled valve 24 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The second electrically controlled valve 25 is disposed on the sixth pipeline 18, and the second electrically controlled valve 25 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The third electrically controlled valve 26 is disposed on the seventh pipeline 19, and the third electrically controlled valve 26 is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The control mechanism can respectively control the opening and closing of the first flow control valve 20, the second flow control valve 21, the third flow control valve 22, the fourth flow control valve 23, the first electrically controlled valve 24, the second electrically controlled valve 25, and the third electrically controlled valve 26.
[0062] Specifically, the control mechanism may include a reactor control system and a safety protection system, wherein the reactor safety protection system refers to a protection system for preventing gas backflow and gas isolation between the oxidation reactor 6 and the reduction reactor 1. The safety protection logic sets the differential pressure control protection between the reduction reactor 1 and the oxidation reactor 6, and when the differential pressure is low, the opening of the second flow control valve 21 or the third flow control valve 22 is locked. When the differential pressure between the two reactors is low, the flow control valves on the connecting pipelines of the two reactors are closed and the feeding is stopped; for example, the differential pressure between the two reactors is measured by a differential pressure gauge composed of pressure measuring points respectively arranged at the tops of the two reactors. The normal setting value of the differential pressure between the two reactors is 30kPa, the high alarm value of the differential pressure is 80kPa, the low alarm value is 25kPa, the high-high interlock value of the differential pressure is 100kPa, and the low-low interlock value of the differential pressure is 15kPa. When the pressure drop of the slide valve is lower than 15kPa, the opening of the slide valve is "soft locked". When the differential pressure between the two vessels is higher than 100 kPa or lower than 15 kPa, the differential pressure interlock is triggered, the oxidation catalyst slide valve and the reduction catalyst slide valve are closed, and the feed to the two reactors is stopped, and the two reactors are operated in a "stifled" mode.
[0063] Specifically, the reactor control system includes temperature control and pressure control of the two reactors (i.e., each pipeline can be provided with a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor, and each temperature sensor and each pressure sensor are electrically connected to the control mechanism). The temperature of the oxidation reactor 6 is controlled by the opening of the second flow control valve 21, and is assisted by the external heat exchanger when necessary. For example: the heat of the oxidation reactor 6 comes from the catalyst of the reduction reactor 1, and the set temperature of the oxidation reactor 6 is 900°C. When the temperature of the oxidation reactor 6 is lower than 900°C, the opening of the catalyst slide valve of the external heat exchanger is firstly closed to reduce the heat intake. When the heat intake load of the heat exchanger is lower than 30%, the external heat exchanger has no regulating capacity. At this time, it is necessary to open the opening of the reduction catalyst slide valve to control the temperature of the oxidation reactor 6. If the temperature is higher than the set value, the reduction catalyst slide valve is closed. The temperature of the reduction reactor 1 is controlled by the solar energy intake entering the top of the reaction; when it is nighttime or there is no solar energy input, the catalyst in the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 is used to supplement the heat or methane is burned to maintain the reaction temperature. The pressure of the oxidation reactor 6 is controlled by the gas line regulating valve at its top. The pressure of reduction reactor 1 is controlled by the gas line regulating valve at the top of the reactor. At the same time, it is automatically switched to the lower selected value according to the differential pressure of the two reactors. For example, during normal production, the pressure of the two reactors is controlled separately to keep the differential pressure of the two reactors within the set reasonable range (such as 40kPa). If the differential pressure of the two reactors exceeds a certain range, the differential pressure controller of the two reactors will replace the pressure controller to control the differential pressure of the two reactors, in order to make the fluidization of the two reactors smooth, and finally prevent the media of the two reactors from backflowing and mutual channeling, causing safety accidents.

[0068] Specifically, the functions of the first stripping tower 40 and the second stripping tower 42 are to replace the reaction products entrained inside the catalyst and between the particles by steam or other suitable gases in a stripping manner; the structures of the first stripping tower 40 and the second stripping tower 42 may be the same or different, for example, the first stripping tower 40 and the second stripping tower 42 both adopt baffle type or grid packing type; wherein the fourth gas may be, for example, steam.
[0069] In this embodiment, the system for producing hydrogen by solar thermal catalytic fluidized reaction also includes a heat exchange mechanism 48, the first end of the heat exchange mechanism 48 is connected to the first stripping tower 40 through the second pipeline 10, the second end of the heat exchange mechanism 48 is connected to the lifting pipeline 9 through the second pipeline 10, the third end of the heat exchange mechanism 48 is connected to the reduction reactor 1 through the third pipeline 11, and the fourth end of the heat exchange mechanism 48 is connected to the second stripping tower 42 through the third pipeline 11.
[0070] Specifically, the heat exchange mechanism 48 is an oxidation-reduction catalyst heat exchanger. In order to improve the utilization rate of light and heat, a device is set up to exchange heat between the oxidation catalyst whose temperature is reduced after the oxidation reaction and the reduction catalyst whose temperature is higher before entering the oxidation reactor 6, which is called the heat exchange mechanism 48. Since both sides of the traditional heat exchanger are gas-solid two-phase media, they are easy to clog and cause abrasion to the inner wall of the equipment. In addition, the temperature of the medium is very high, and the structural type of the heat exchanger must meet the requirements of smooth gas-solid flow, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. Among them, the heat exchange mechanism 48 can adopt a composite ceramic tube with good thermal conductivity, and its thermal conductivity coefficient is in the range of 0-3000W / mK; wherein, one implementation method of the heat exchange mechanism 48 is to adopt a sleeve-type single-pass, and arrange it in a vertical or inclined manner; wherein, another implementation method of the heat exchange mechanism 48 is to adopt a heat storage structure; wherein, the heat storage heat exchange mechanism 48 is used for catalyst heat exchange between the reduction reactor 1 and the oxidation reactor 6. As Figure 5As shown, the inlet and outlet of the heat storage heat exchange mechanism 48 are respectively provided with two sets of four-way valves 57, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the second pipeline 10 and the third pipeline 11. There are two heat storage heat exchangers 58 in the middle (A / B), one for heating the heat storage material and the other for releasing heat from the heat storage material. The reduction catalyst (1400°C hot flow) goes through the A heat exchanger, and the high-temperature heat storage ceramic (SiC) in the middle is heated. When the temperature reaches the set temperature of 1300-1350°C, or after the heat exchange time is reached, the four-way valve switch is cut off, and the flow in the A heat exchanger is switched to the oxidation catalyst (900°C flow), and the heat storage material in the heat storage heat exchanger 58 releases heat, heating the 900°C catalyst to 950-1000°C, and the heat storage material is cooled, and then the flow is switched again, and so on, and the heat storage heat exchange is performed. Among them, one end of the oxidation catalyst of the first pass of the heat storage heat exchange mechanism 48 is connected to the second stripping tower 42 of the oxidation reactor 6, and the other end is connected to the reduction reactor 1; one end of the reduction catalyst of the other pass of the heat storage heat exchange mechanism 48 is connected to the first stripping tower 40, and the other end is connected to the lifting pipeline 9 through the second pipeline 10 and the second flow control valve 21. As described above, the heat of the high-temperature reduction catalyst is transferred to the low-temperature oxidation catalyst through the heat storage heat exchange mechanism 48, which reduces the heat loss of the entire device and improves the overall light and heat utilization efficiency of the system. The sleeve-type heat exchange mechanism 48 is used for heat exchange of catalysts between the reduction reactor 1 and the oxidation reactor 6. The reduction catalyst (logistics at 1400°C) flows in the inner sleeve, and the oxidation catalyst (logistics at 900°C) flows outside the sleeve. Ribs are respectively arranged inside and outside the sleeve to enhance heat transfer; wherein, the sleeve and ribs are made of GH2747 material, and the 1400°C contact surface is attached with SiC lining to protect the metal material, while the middle high-temperature logistics is cooled from 1400°C to 1300-1350°C, and the low-temperature fluid on the outside is heated from 900°C to 950-1000°C. As described above, the heat of the high-temperature reduction catalyst is transferred to the low-temperature oxidation catalyst through the sleeve-type heat exchange mechanism 48, which reduces the heat loss of the entire device and improves the overall light and heat utilization efficiency of the system.
[0071] In this embodiment, after the first gas is added into the reduction reactor 1 and the first gas fluidizes the catalyst in the reduction reactor 1, the reduction reactor 1 transports the catalyst to the first stripping tower 40, and the fourth gas is added into the first stripping tower 40, so that the catalyst is fluidized in the reduction reactor 1 and the reaction gas between and inside the catalyst particles is stripped and replaced.
[0072] In this embodiment, after the second gas and the third gas are added into the oxidation reactor 6 to fluidize the catalyst in the oxidation reactor 6, the oxidation reactor 6 transports the catalyst to the second stripping tower 42, and adds the fourth gas into the second stripping tower 42, so that the catalyst in the oxidation reactor 6 is fluidized and the reaction gas between and inside the catalyst particles is stripped and replaced.
[0073] In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the working process of the solar thermal catalytic fluidized reaction system for producing hydrogen in actual application is as follows:
[0074] 1. Fluidizing gas (i.e., the first gas, which may be, for example, helium, steam, or a mixture of several gases) is introduced from the utility system (the first gas supply mechanism 4) and injected into the bottom of the reduction reactor 1 through the first pipeline 3. The catalyst is fluidized by a gas distributor arranged in the reduction reactor 1, so that as a reactant, the fluidized catalyst circulates up and down in the reduction reactor 1; wherein the fluidizing gas blown into the distributor fluidizes and stirs the catalyst, thereby increasing the heat transfer and mass transfer efficiency in the reduction reactor 1, thereby maximizing the reaction rate and conversion rate.
[0075] 2. Open the catalyst transfer valve (the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25 located on the fifth pipeline 17 and the sixth pipeline 18) between the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16, and then inject fluidizing gas through the seventh pipeline 19 at the bottom of the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 to allow the catalyst to flow between the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 and the reduction reactor 1.
[0076] 3. Solar thermal energy is introduced from the light-transmitting mirror 15 on the top of the reduction reactor 1 through secondary reflection high-temperature focusing technology (high-temperature focusing mechanism 14), irradiating the catalyst in the reduction reactor 1, heating the temperature of the reduction reactor 1 to 1400°C or above (<1500°C), and the catalyst begins to undergo a reduction reaction to produce oxygen, which is carried out of the reactor by the rapid flow of the fluidizing gas through convective mass transfer. The heating reduction chemical reaction of the metal oxide catalyst is:
[0077]
[0078] 4. When the temperature of the catalyst in the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 rises to 1500°C, the first electrically controlled valve 24 and the second electrically controlled valve 25 on the fifth pipeline 17 and the sixth pipeline 18 between the reduction reactor 1 and the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 are closed, so that the high-temperature heat storage tank 16 can store the catalyst after high-temperature reduction for standby use, and provide heat for the entire system at night or when there is no sunlight, so as to ensure that the system can produce continuously.
[0079] 5. Synchronously open the second flow control valve 21 (for example, a slide valve, a plug valve, etc.) on the second pipeline 10 between the reduction reactor 1 and the oxidation reactor 6. The reduced catalyst will carry the first mixed gas, so the reduced catalyst is separated from the first mixed gas through the stripping tower. The first mixed gas returns to the reduction reactor 1 through the tenth pipeline 41, and the separated reduced catalyst is introduced into the lifting pipeline 9 after heat exchange by the heat exchange mechanism 48, and the opening of the second flow control valve 21 is adjusted according to the production volume to control the flow of the reduced catalyst. At the same time, open the sixth flow control valve 5 between the second gas supply mechanism 8 and the lifting pipeline 9, and inject the second gas into the bottom of the lifting pipeline 9. The second gas can be, for example, superheated steam (from a 0.5MPa steam network) to transport the reduced catalyst in the lifting pipeline 9 to the stripping tower. The third gas enters from the bottom of the oxidation reactor 6 through the gas distributor (i.e., the third gas supply mechanism 12 injects the third gas into the bottom of the oxidation reactor 6 through the fourth pipeline 13, and the fourth pipeline 13 is provided with a fourth flow control valve 23. The oxidation reactor 6 and the reduction reactor 1 are selected from metal oxides (M x O y ) is a catalyst, the metal oxide may be selected from metals including iron, nickel, copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, cobalt, cerium, etc., alumina Al2O3 is a carrier, the average particle diameter is about 100μm to 200μm, the micropore diameter is 3nm to 6nm, and the specific surface area is 200m 2 / g~250m 2 / g. The atomic layer deposition method is used to evenly distribute the catalyst on the inner and outer surfaces of the carrier at the atomic layer height to increase the specific surface area of the reaction contact. The ratio of the metal oxide catalyst to the carrier is determined according to the molecular weight of different metals and the amount of hydrogen produced, and the ratio ranges from 5% to 50%. Among them, the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst are as follows:
[0080] project nature <![CDATA[Heap ratio, kg / m 3 > 800-1000 <![CDATA[Specific surface area, m 2 / g]]> 200-250 Wear resistance index <3 Average particle size, μm 100-200
[0081] 6. The reduced catalyst enters from the lower part of the oxidation reactor 6, and the third gas enters from the bottom of the oxidation reactor 6. The reduced catalyst and the gas phase reactant (water vapor / third gas mixed gas) in the oxidation reactor 6 flow in reverse, which enhances the contact mass transfer and heat transfer effect between the medium and the reduced catalyst, and increases the oxidation reaction speed. The chemical reaction balance is:
[0082] M x O y-δ +δH2O→M x O y +δH2
[0083] 7. Synchronously open the third flow control valve 22 (for example, a slide valve, a plug valve, etc.) on the third pipeline 11 between the oxidation reactor 6 and the reduction reactor 1. The oxidation catalyst can carry the second mixed gas, so the oxidation catalyst is separated from the second mixed gas through a stripping tower, and the second mixed gas returns to the oxidation reactor 6 through an eleventh pipeline 43. The separated oxidation catalyst utilizes the pressure difference between the oxidation reactor 6 and the reduction reactor 1 to firstly undergo heat exchange through the heat exchange mechanism 48, and then the oxidized catalyst is returned to the lower part of the reduction reactor 1. The second flow control valve 21 is used to control the storage of the oxidation reactor 6, thereby achieving a balance in the inlet and outlet flow of the fluidized catalyst in the oxidation reactor 6 and the reduction reactor 1.
[0084] 8. A catalyst heat collector 27 is provided outside the oxidation reactor 6 to control the temperature of the oxidation reactor 6 (~900°C) by cooling the catalyst and recover the heat inside the oxidation reactor 6 to generate steam. The water vapor pressure can be selected within the range of 1.0MPa to 10MPa as required.
[0085] 9. The second mixed gas (mixed gas of hydrogen and water vapor) generated by the oxidation reactor 6 enters the second gas-solid separator 36 outside the oxidation reactor 6 through the fourth recovery pipeline 37 to separate and recover the catalyst. The separated solid (catalyst) returns to the oxidation reactor 6 through the fifth recovery pipeline 38, and the second mixed gas is discharged from the top and enters the subsequent second waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 7 through the sixth recovery pipeline 39. The hydrogen recovered by the second waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 7 is dried and discharged from the device; wherein, the second waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 7 is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0086] 10. The first mixed gas (a mixed gas of hydrogen and fluidizing gas) at the outlet of the reduction reactor 1 enters the first gas-solid separator 32 outside the reduction reactor 1 through the first recovery pipeline 33 for separation. The separated solid (catalyst) returns to the reduction reactor 1 through the second recovery pipeline 34, and the first mixed gas is discharged from the top and enters the subsequent first waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 2 through the third recovery pipeline 35. The mixed gas after cooling (~40°C), if helium is used as the fluidizing gas (first gas), is recycled by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to recover the fluidizing gas, and then is dried with oxygen and then discharged from the device. The structure of the first waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 2 using helium as the fluidizing gas (first gas) is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown. The mixed gas using steam as the fluidizing gas (first gas) is cooled (~40°C) and the condensed water is recovered through the first waste heat recovery heat exchange mechanism 2 (as shown Figure 3 Steam recycling occurs as shown).
