DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary only, and are merely intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0024] The disclosure hereafter provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplifying the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described hereafter. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0025] For the purpose of description, "front" and "back" used to describe the connection position are based on the sequence of fluid flow, the position where fluid arrives first is "front", and the position where fluid arrives later is "back".

[0026] The dehydrogenation reaction requires a higher temperature than the hydrogenation reaction, and the pressure requirement is much lower than the hydrogenation reaction. The hydrogenation reaction needs to be carried out in a closed space; the dehydrogenation reaction needs to be carried out in an open system, so as to discharge hydrogen in time. These characteristics make it difficult for existing autoclaves or glass devices to simultaneously meet the temperature and pressure conditions of the hydrogenation reaction and the temperature and pressure conditions of the dehydrogenation reaction. In particular, glass instruments cannot withstand the 5 MPa~10 MPa pressure required for hydrogenation; the pressure sensor in the autoclave is easy to be damaged by the high-temperature hydrogen storage liquid volatiles.

[0027] In view of the above problems, with reference to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides an integrated device for testing liquid organic hydrogen storage material and dehydrogenation, which comprises a reaction kettle 110 with a sealing cover 11, a first pipeline 35 and a second pipeline 32 downwardly penetrating the sealing cover 11 into the reaction kettle 110, the part of the first pipeline 35 above the sealing cover 11 is connected with an air inlet valve 310, the lower end of the second pipeline 32 is higher than the test liquid level in the reaction kettle 110, and the part of the second pipeline 32 above the sealing cover 11 is sequentially connected with a condenser 410, a pressure sensor 220, an exhaust master switch 320 and a flow meter 324 in the order of fluid leaving the reaction kettle 110.

[0028] Before the experiment, the sealing cover 11 can be opened, and the liquid organic hydrogen storage material to be tested is added into the reactor 110, and then the sealing cover 11 is closed. When the hydrogenation reaction is carried out, the exhaust main switch 320 is closed, and the inlet valve 310 is opened to input the reaction gas. The hydrogenation amount can be calculated according to the result of the pressure sensor 220. When the dehydrogenation reaction is carried out, the inlet valve 310 is closed, and the exhaust main switch 320 is opened. The dehydrogenation amount can be calculated according to the result of the flow meter 324.

[0029] In the device, the reactor 110 and the sealing cover 11 can be made of stainless steel, Hastelloy, etc. The condenser 410 is used to recool the volatile material into the reaction system in the heating environment of the hydrogenation reaction and the dehydrogenation reaction. The pressure sensor 220 is arranged after the condenser 410 and before the exhaust main switch 320, so that the pressure sensor 220 can work in a closed pipeline, and the influence of the condensate drops or high-temperature volatile gas on the accuracy of the pressure sensor 220 is reduced. The flow meter 324 is arranged after the exhaust main switch 320, so as to avoid the influence of the pressure change in the reaction process on the flow statistics. The condenser 410 can also avoid the loss of material volatilization and ensure the purity of the collected hydrogen in the dehydrogenation process.

[0030] The hydrogenation reaction and the dehydrogenation reaction of the liquid organic hydrogen storage material both need to be heated to a certain temperature. If two devices are used alternately, each device needs to be reheated in each test, and the waste heat of the last test cannot be utilized, which causes waste of heat. After the test device of the embodiment of the application is used, the hydrogenation reaction and the dehydrogenation reaction are both carried out in the same device, the waste heat of the last test can be utilized, and the test energy consumption is reduced.

[0031] The temperature of the reactor 110 can be controlled by oil bath heating. Preferably, the integrated device for testing the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of the liquid organic hydrogen storage material further comprises a temperature sensor 210. The temperature sensor 210 penetrates downward through the sealing cover 11, and the probe of the temperature sensor 210 is located in the reactor 110 and below the test liquid level. After the temperature sensor 210 is used for monitoring, electromagnetic heating, electric heating wire heating, etc. can also be used.

[0032] In some embodiments, the integrated device for testing the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of the liquid organic hydrogen storage material further comprises a controller (not shown in the figure), which is in signal connection with the pressure sensor 220, the temperature sensor 210 and the flow meter 324. Specifically, the pressure sensor 220, the temperature sensor 210 and the flow meter 324 are connected with a computer, and the change curve can be recorded in real time.

[0033] To improve the reaction efficiency, preferably, the integrated device for liquid organic hydrogen storage material dehydrogenation test further comprises a mechanical stirring rod 120 downwardly penetrating through the sealing cover 11, and a stirring paddle 121 is connected to the lower end of the mechanical stirring rod 120. Specifically, an electric motor 122 is connected to the upper end of the mechanical stirring rod 120.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lower end of the first pipeline 35 is below the test liquid level. In this way, the first pipeline 35 can be used for sampling. Preferably, the portion of the first pipeline 35 above the sealing cover 11 branches into a sampling branch 351 and a gas inlet branch 31, and a sampling valve 510 is connected to the sampling branch 351, and a gas inlet valve 310 is connected to the gas inlet branch 31. Specifically, the gas inlet branch 31 further branches into a hydrogen pipeline and a nitrogen pipeline in sequence of gas inlet, and a hydrogen on-off valve 311 is connected to the hydrogen pipeline, and a nitrogen on-off valve 312 is connected to the nitrogen pipeline.

[0035] Preferably, the sampling valve 510 is a precision valve, and the single sampling volume is in the order of microliters to avoid excessive sampling and pressure relief problems.

[0036] In this embodiment, before the experiment, the sealing cover 11 can be opened, the liquid organic hydrogen storage material to be tested is added to the reaction kettle 110, and then the sealing cover 11 is closed. During the hydrogenation reaction, the exhaust main switch 320 is closed, the hydrogen on-off valve 311 is opened to introduce hydrogen, the gas inlet valve 310 is opened to input gas, and the hydrogenation amount can be calculated according to the result of the pressure sensor 220. The sampling valve 510 can also be opened during the reaction to suck a small amount of the test material to detect the hydrogen absorption amount. During the dehydrogenation reaction, the sampling valve 510, the gas inlet valve 310, the hydrogen on-off valve 311, and the nitrogen on-off valve 312 are closed, and the exhaust main switch 320 is opened. The dehydrogenation amount can be calculated according to the result of the flow meter 324, and the sampling valve 510 can also be opened during the reaction to suck a small amount of the test material to detect the dehydrogenation amount. That is, there are two methods for each of the hydrogenation reaction and the dehydrogenation reaction to verify the results.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second pipeline 32 is divided into a negative pressure branch and a metering branch after the exhaust main switch 320 in the order of fluid leaving the reactor 110 above the sealing cover 11, the metering switch valve 323 is connected on the metering branch, the flow meter 324 is arranged after the metering switch valve 323 in the order of fluid leaving the reactor 110, the end of the negative pressure branch is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure), and the negative pressure switch valve 322 is arranged on the negative pressure branch. The flow meter 324 is arranged on a separate branch, and when the reactor 110 is ventilated, the metering branch is not passed through, so that the change of the resulting curve formed by the flow meter 324 is not caused, and the experimental results are facilitated. Preferably, the second pipeline 32 is further divided into a pressure relief branch after the exhaust main switch 320 in the order of fluid leaving the reactor 110 above the sealing cover 11, the pressure relief branch is connected with the negative pressure branch and the metering branch in parallel, and the pressure relief valve 321 is connected on the pressure relief branch. On the metering branch, the flow meter 324 can be further connected to a drainage device (not shown in the figure).

[0038] In combination with the above preferred embodiments, the complete experimental process is as follows:

[0039] Before the experiment, the sealing cover 11 can be opened, and the liquid organic hydrogen storage material to be tested is added into the reactor 110, and then the sealing cover 11 is closed.

[0040] In the hydrogenation test, the negative pressure switch valve 322 is opened, and the remaining valves are closed, vacuum is drawn through the negative pressure branch, the nitrogen on-off valve 312 and the inlet valve 310 are opened to introduce nitrogen, the above vacuum-drawing-nitrogen-introducing process is repeated three times, then vacuum is drawn, heating and stirring are started. After reaching the preset temperature, the hydrogen on-off valve 311 and the inlet valve 310 are opened to introduce hydrogen gas at a preset pressure, all valves are closed to form a closed system, and hydrogenation is completed. The real-time hydrogenation amount can be calculated by using the hydrogen consumption amount or the proportion of hydrogenated products, the former is calculated by detecting the pressure change through the pressure sensor 220, and the latter is calculated by sampling detection through the sampling branch 351.

[0041] In the dehydrogenation test, the liquid organic hydrogen storage material previously hydrogenated is not taken out, the atmosphere is connected through the pressure relief valve 321, the remaining high-pressure hydrogen gas in the reaction is discharged in advance, then the negative pressure switch valve 322 is opened to draw vacuum, and all valves are closed after completion. Stirring is maintained, the metering switch valve 323 is opened after reaching the preset temperature, and the dehydrogenation test is completed. The real-time dehydrogenation amount can be calculated by using the hydrogen release amount or the proportion of dehydrogenated products, the former is detected by the hydrogen generation amount through the flow meter 324 or the drainage amount of the drainage device, and the latter is calculated by sampling detection through the sampling valve 510.

[0042] The stability test of multiple cycles of the same material can be continuously carried out in the same device, which is more convenient, can improve the test efficiency, and provides two methods of hydrogen end and liquid organic hydrogen storage material end for calculating the hydrogenation amount and dehydrogenation amount, which can verify each other and improve the accuracy.
