Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen dehumidification, in particular to a hydrogen dehumidification and purification device for hydrogen production. Background Technique
[0002] Hydrogen production by electrolyzing water is a relatively convenient method for producing hydrogen. Direct current is passed through the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and water molecules undergo electrochemical reactions on the positive and negative electrodes respectively, decomposing into oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen and hydrogen are collected separately to obtain the corresponding products. Since a certain amount of oxygen will be mixed into hydrogen during the electrolysis process, and at the same time, water vapor during the electrolysis process will also be mixed into hydrogen, hydrogen contains impurities such as moisture and oxygen, and deoxidation and dehumidification treatments are required.
