Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrogen production desulfurization technology, and in particular relates to a desulfurization device for hydrogen production. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen production from coal-water slurry involves mixing coal, water, and chemical additives in a specific ratio, processing the mixture into a slurry, and then using this slurry as raw material. Hydrogen is produced through specific chemical reactions or pyrolysis processes. These processes may include coal pyrolysis, gasification, and reforming, ultimately yielding hydrogen. However, sulfides are also produced, which are hazardous and require desulfurization treatment.
[0003] Existing equipment directly or indirectly discharges sulfides, which increases the hazards of sulfides, poses safety risks to production, and causes losses. Therefore, this utility model proposes a desulfurization device for hydrogen production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The desulfurization tower includes a solvent tank, and a water pump is installed on the top of the solvent tank. One end of the water pump is connected to the internal space of the solvent tank, and the other end is connected to a pipe. The pipe is connected to a branch pipe, which is located in the internal space of the desulfurization tower and is equipped with a nozzle.
[0007] The filtration assembly includes a filter box, which is connected to the interior of the desulfurization tower via an exhaust pipe. The filter box is provided with an exhaust fan and a filter plate from left to right.
[0008] Preferably, the solvent tank is filled with a polyethanol dimethyl ether solution.
[0009] Preferably, the desulfurization tower has an air inlet near the bottom.
[0010] Preferably, there are multiple branch pipes, and the multiple branch pipes are distributed at intervals along the vertical direction.
[0011] Preferably, there are multiple nozzles, and the multiple nozzles are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the branch pipe.
[0012] Preferably, the filter plate is filled with a desiccant.
[0013] Preferably, the filter box has an air outlet on the side away from the air extraction pipe.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The desulfurization process employs the polyethanol dimethyl ether (NHD) method. Hydrogen containing sulfides, produced from coal-water slurry, is injected into the desulfurization tower through the inlet. A water pump draws the polyethanol dimethyl ether solution from the solvent tank into a pipeline, then into a branch pipe before being sprayed out from a nozzle to remove sulfur from the hydrogen containing sulfides. After desulfurization, an exhaust fan is activated, drawing the desulfurized hydrogen into a filter box via an exhaust pipe. The hydrogen passes through the exhaust fan and filter plates, where the exhaust fan removes moisture, and the filter plates further remove moisture through a desiccant. Finally, the hydrogen is discharged from the outlet to the next process. This equipment not only desulfurizes the hydrogen containing sulfides but also removes moisture, resulting in higher hydrogen purity. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In this embodiment, the desulfurization operation is carried out using the polyethanol dimethyl ether (NHD) method. Hydrogen containing sulfides, produced from coal-water slurry, is injected into the desulfurization tower 1 through inlet 16. Pump 12 is started to extract the polyethanol dimethyl ether solution from solvent tank 11 and send it into pipe 13. The polyethanol dimethyl ether solution then enters branch pipe 14 and is finally sprayed out from nozzle 15 to desulfurize the hydrogen containing sulfides in the desulfurization tower 1. After desulfurization, exhaust fan 23 is started. Exhaust fan 23 draws the desulfurized hydrogen from the desulfurization tower 1 into filter box 21 through exhaust pipe 22. The hydrogen passes through exhaust fan 23 and filter plate 24 sequentially. Moisture is removed by the airflow from exhaust fan 23, and further moisture is removed by the desiccant in filter plate 24. Finally, it is discharged from outlet 25 to enter the next process.

[0029] Furthermore, the solvent tank 11 is filled with a polyethanol dimethyl ether solution.
[0030] In this embodiment, the solvent tank 11 is filled with a polyethanol dimethyl ether solution, and the polyethanol dimethyl ether method (NHD method) is used to desulfurize the sulfides.
[0031] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 The desulfurization tower 1 has an air inlet 16 near the bottom.
[0032] In this embodiment, hydrogen gas containing sulfides is injected into the desulfurization tower 1 through the inlet 16 for desulfurization.
[0033] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 Multiple branch pipes 14 are provided, and the multiple branch pipes 14 are distributed at intervals along the vertical direction; multiple nozzles 15 are provided, and the multiple nozzles 15 are distributed at intervals along the extension direction of the branch pipes 14.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Desulfurization is performed using the polyethanol dimethyl ether (NHD) method. Hydrogen containing sulfides, produced from coal-water slurry, is injected into the desulfurization tower 1 through inlet 16. Pump 12 is started to extract the polyethanol dimethyl ether solution from solvent tank 11 and send it into pipeline 13. The polyethanol dimethyl ether solution then enters branch pipe 14 and is finally sprayed out from nozzle 15 to desulfurize the hydrogen containing sulfides in the desulfurization tower 1. After desulfurization is completed, the system is started... The exhaust fan 23 draws the hydrogen gas, which has been desulfurized by the desulfurization tower 1, into the filter box 21 through the exhaust pipe 22. The hydrogen gas passes through the exhaust fan 23 and the filter plate 24 in sequence. The hydrogen gas will have its moisture removed by the air blown by the exhaust fan 23, and then the moisture will be further removed by the desiccant in the filter plate 24. Finally, it will be discharged from the outlet 25 to enter the next process. This equipment not only desulfurizes the hydrogen gas containing sulfur compounds, but also further removes moisture from the hydrogen gas, making the hydrogen gas purer.
