[0022] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a kind of RDF hydrogen production system in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is used for gasifying RDF to generate clean energy hydrogen. It includes a feeding mechanism 1, a gasifier 2, a catalytic converter 3, a spray tower 4, a fan 5, an electric tar precipitator 6, a first flame arrester 7, an overflow tank 8 and a gas storage bag 9 which are connected in sequence. Among them, the feeding mechanism 1 is used to convey RDF into the gasifier 2 for gasification. Specifically, the output end of the feeding mechanism 1 is connected to the input end of the gasifier 2. The gasifier 2 is used to gasify solid RDF and generate organic gases such as methane. The output end of the gasifier 2 is connected to the input end of the catalytic converter 3, and the organic gas is introduced into the catalytic converter 3 to generate hydrogen. A catalyst is added in the catalytic converter 3 for the chemical reaction of the organic gas to produce hydrogen. The output end of the catalytic converter 3 is connected to the input end of the spray tower 4, and hydrogen passes through the spray tower 4, the fan 5, the electric tar precipitator 6 and the first flame arrester 7 in sequence and then enters the overflow tank 8. Among them, the fan 5 is used to provide power for the flow of hydrogen, and the spray tower 4 and the electric tar precipitator 6 are used to purify hydrogen. Specifically, the spray tower 4 is mainly used for preliminary dust removal and removing some harmful substances soluble in water. The electric tar precipitator 6 is mainly used for further dust removal, removing tar and sulfur dioxide and other substances to obtain pure hydrogen. The overflow tank 8 is used for temporarily storing hydrogen and adjusting the hydrogen storage pressure. After adjusting the hydrogen pressure in the overflow tank 8 to the safety threshold, it is introduced into the gas storage bag 9 for storage.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to transfer or utilize the hydrogen in the gas storage bag 9, it also includes a second flame arrester 10 and a hydrogen compressor 11.

The purification water tank 131 is a standard part and can be directly purchased, so its specific structure will not be elaborated. Specifically, in order to form a circulating water path inside the spray tower 4 and reduce the water consumption during hydrogen spraying, the spray tower 4 is provided with a sewage circulation water tank 41 and a circulation pump 42. The sewage circulation water tank 41 is internally connected to the spray tower 4. The water outlet of the sewage circulation water tank 41 is connected to the input end of the circulation pump 42. The output end of the circulation pump 42 is communicated with the water inlet pipeline of the spray tower 4, and a water circulation is formed inside the spray tower 4.
[0027] The working process of the present utility model is as follows: The RDF is transported to the gasifier 2 through the feeding mechanism 1. The RDF is gasified in the gasifier 2 to generate organic gas. The organic gas is catalyzed by the catalyst in the catalytic converter 3 to generate hydrogen. The hydrogen finally enters the gas storage bag 9 after passing through the spray tower 4 and the electric tar precipitator 6. According to the hydrogen usage demand, a hydrogen compressor 11 can be added to compress the hydrogen and then transport it in cans.
[0028] In summary, compared with the prior art, the RDF hydrogen production system provided by the embodiment of the present utility model has the following beneficial effects: Through the feeding mechanism 1, the RDF is automatically fed into the gasifier 2. After the RDF is gasified in the gasifier 2, organic gas is generated. The organic gas is catalyzed by the catalytic converter 3 to generate hydrogen.
