Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of methanol hydrogen production, specifically to a methanol hydrogen production multi-channel device based on one end sealing catalytic oxygen permeable membrane. BACKGROUND

[0002] Methanol is an excellent liquid hydrogen storage and hydrogen carrier. It can realize hydrogen production by methanol reforming using Cu, Zn, and Ni-based catalysts, such as methanol steam reforming (CH3OH + H2O → CO2 + 3H2) and methanol autothermal reforming (2CH3OH + 0.5O2 + H2O → 2CO2 + 5H2). It can provide hydrogen gas online for low-temperature fuel cell vehicles, effectively solving the problem of hydrogen storage and transportation, and improving safety.

[0003] However, fuel hydrogen produced in the process of methanol hydrogen production contains impurities such as CO2 and CO, especially trace amounts of CO, which can quickly poison the catalyst of the fuel cell. Therefore, a series of impurity removal processes are needed after the methanol reforming reaction, which limits the promotion and application of methanol in the field of fuel cells. Although Pd membrane reactors can be used to realize in-situ separation and purification of hydrogen, the high cost of Pd as a noble metal limits the large-scale application of this technology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new efficient hydrogen production processes and materials to support the high-quality development of the national hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry.

[0004] In the prior art, the methanol reforming hydrogen production technology based on the mixed conductor oxygen permeable membrane reactor couples and integrates water decomposition reaction and methanol hydrogen production reaction. In the reaction, water is decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen on one side of the membrane, oxygen is transmitted to the other side in the form of ions through the oxygen permeable membrane, and oxidation reaction occurs with the methanol reforming reaction product (or directly with methanol) to generate CO2 and H2O. The use of oxygen ion-electron mixed conductors can achieve 100% selectivity for oxygen, and hydrogen gas without CO can be prepared on the side of the water decomposition reaction in one step. The key to effective methanol hydrogen production lies in the construction of high-efficiency membrane reactors. x

[0005] Currently, sheet-shaped membrane materials are widely studied due to their relatively simple preparation and testing methods. However, sheet-shaped membranes face sealing difficulties during assembly, mainly due to the mismatch between thermal expansion and chemical compatibility between the sealant and the membrane material. In contrast, tubular membranes can effectively solve these technical difficulties through cold end sealing. Liang et al. used Au paste to seal BaCo x Fe y Zr 1-x-y O 3-δ ​One end of the hollow fiber membrane is sealed, and pure oxygen is successfully prepared (see Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2010, 49, 937). In addition, a sleeve sealing method or a rubber ring sealing method can be used to seal the two open ends of the ceramic oxygen permeable membrane away from the high temperature zone (such as Chinese patent CN102284252B, Chinese patent CN101912742A, Chinese patent CN102979981A, etc.). Although this sealing method can avoid the sealing problem of the ceramic oxygen permeable membrane at high temperature, the structure is relatively complex, and the membrane will still generate stress due to thermal expansion under high temperature conditions, which can easily lead to the rupture of the membrane and greatly reduce the use efficiency of the membrane.
