Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In many industrial production processes, by-product hydrogen is generated, such as in iron and steel enterprises, chlor-alkali enterprises, propane dehydrogenation enterprises, etc. In the past, this by-product hydrogen was often not fully utilized or even directly discharged. However, in the context of the country's promotion of hydrogen energy applications, more and more such enterprises have realized the value of hydrogen purification devices. It can help enterprises turn waste into treasure, reduce raw material consumption and costs, thus increasing the demand for hydrogen purification devices.

[0003] When the existing purification device is in use, it is unable to filter the hydrogen entering the device, resulting in impurities in the gas easily entering the device and affecting the later purification effect. Moreover, the purification process is too single, and the purified gas will contain water vapor, affecting the use of the purified hydrogen.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to set up a structure that can preliminarily regularize the hydrogen entering the device to avoid hydrogen mixed with particulate impurities, and then add multiple drying and dehydration structures to enable the water vapor in the hydrogen to be removed, improve the purity of the purified hydrogen, and solve the problem of the single purification process and poor purification effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a hydrogen drying and purification device, comprising a hydrogen preliminary treatment tank, an intake pipeline, a gas booster pump, a multi-layer impurity removal and filtration assembly, a gas drying tank, an alumina cyclic water absorption assembly, a water vapor separation box and a condensate gas-liquid separation assembly; the side end of the hydrogen preliminary treatment tank is fixedly connected with the intake pipeline; the outer end of the intake pipeline is provided with the gas booster pump; the inside of the hydrogen preliminary treatment tank is provided with the multi-layer impurity removal and filtration assembly; the upper end of the hydrogen preliminary treatment tank is connected to the gas drying tank through a pipeline; the inside of the gas drying tank is provided with the alumina cyclic water absorption assembly; the upper end of the gas drying tank is connected to the water vapor separation box through a pipeline; the inside of the water vapor separation box is provided with the condensate gas-liquid separation assembly; the multi-layer impurity removal and filtration assembly includes a central fixing column, an activated carbon adsorption plate and a polymer filter plate; the central fixing column is arranged inside the hydrogen preliminary treatment tank; the side end of the central fixing column is fixedly connected with the activated carbon adsorption plate; the side end of the central fixing column is fixedly connected with the polymer filter plate.
