[0002] In the existing production process of sorbitol from glucose hydrogenation, hydrogen is the main raw material for hydrogenation. High-purity hydrogen is obtained through pressure swing adsorption, generally with a purity of 99.999%, which solves the problem of hydrogen purity. However, the capacity of the hydrogen production station is fixed. When the hydrogenation workshop increases its capacity, the hydrogen supply cannot meet the hydrogenation needs. Therefore, the system's hydrogen consumption is made up by purchasing hydrogen from external sources and reusing secondary hydrogen.

[0003] When the output of the reactor is increased or more reactors are added, the hydrogen production load increases, the hydrogen content becomes unstable, and impurities are generated, which is detrimental to the hydrogenation reaction and increases the load on the hydrogen compressor. The entire system operates at high frequency, resulting in high energy consumption. The hydrogen production system is only sufficient for the existing equipment to add hydrogen. After hydrogenation, the hydrogen in the reactor is discharged outdoors and is not reused, resulting in resource waste.
