[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen purification, in particular to a hydrogen purification and recovery device. Background Art

[0002] At room temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a highly flammable gas that is colorless, transparent, odorless, and insoluble in water. Hydrogen is the gas with the smallest known density in the world, so it can be used as a filling gas for airships and hydrogen balloons. Hydrogen is the substance with the smallest relative molecular mass and has strong reducing properties, so it is often used as a reducing agent in chemical reactions.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent (CN202220680653.9) discloses a hydrogen purification and recovery device, including a tank body, a drying mechanism is provided on the inner surface of the upper end of the tank body, an automatic liquid adding device is provided on the outer surface of one side of the upper end of the tank body, an air inlet pipe is provided on the outer surface of one side of the automatic liquid adding device, and an air outlet pipe is provided on the outer surface of the lower end of the tank body. The hydrogen purification and recovery device described in the utility model can dry the generated hydrogen and effectively remove the moisture in the hydrogen to obtain dry hydrogen through the drying mechanism provided, and the hydrogen purification and recovery device can switch the solid outlet and the gas outlet by rotating the outlet pipe body through the outlet pipe provided, so as to prevent the soda lime from slipping out and remaining in the outlet to affect the hydrogen collection.

[0004] However, the above device still has certain problems. The catalytic liquid of the automatic liquid adding device is directly introduced into the reaction tank body. Since the hydrogen is dissipated inside the reaction tank body, the catalytic liquid will not react fully with the hydrogen. Then the purification process may become slow, and it will take longer to achieve the expected purification effect. The purification efficiency is too low, which will affect the purity of the hydrogen after purification, resulting in the subsequent use of the hydrogen failing to achieve the best effect. In view of the above problems, a hydrogen purification and recovery device is proposed to solve them. Utility Model Content

Since the hydrogen is dissipated inside the reaction tank body, the catalytic liquid will not react fully with the hydrogen, and the purification process may become slow, and it will take a longer time to achieve the expected purification effect. The purification efficiency is too low, which will affect the purity of the hydrogen after purification, resulting in the subsequent use of the hydrogen not achieving the best effect.

[0026] At least two groups of card slots 805 are provided on the front and rear side walls inside the drying box 801. The drying box 801 is provided with mounting frames 806 having the same number as the card slots 805. The mounting frames 806 are snap-fitted into the card slots 805. The snap-fit ​​connection method is adopted, so that the mounting frames 806 can be replaced more quickly.

[0027] Preferably, a molecular sieve 807 is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting frame 806, and a color-changing silica gel 808 is fixedly connected to the middle of the molecular sieve 807. The molecular sieve 807 uses an activated 4A molecular sieve as a moisture adsorbent. This type of molecular sieve 807 can be reused, reducing the generation of solid waste.

[0028] Preferably, the spray assembly 9 includes a U-shaped tube 901, the left end of the U-shaped tube 901 is fixedly connected to the output end of the automatic liquid adding device 7, the right end of the U-shaped tube 901 is fixedly connected to a connecting tube 902, the bottom end of the connecting tube 902 passes through the top plate of the tank body 1 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the tank body 1 with a floating joint 903, and the bottom of the floating joint 903 is fixedly connected to a three-way joint 904.
