[0002] Hydrogen peroxide is a green chemical raw material widely used in chemical synthesis, textile decolorization, paper bleaching, food processing, and water treatment. The production of hydrogen peroxide requires a large amount of industrial hydrogen. Hydrogen, as a raw material for hydrogen peroxide production, has a wide range of sources, such as coal-based hydrogen production, water electrolysis, hydrogen as a byproduct of chlor-alkali production, hydrogen as a byproduct of petroleum cracking, and hydrogen extraction from industrial waste gas.

[0003] The hydrogen pressure required for hydrogen peroxide production is generally 0.2~0.5MPa. However, many industrial hydrogen production processes use high-pressure systems to produce hydrogen. For example, the hydrogen pressure after hydrogen extraction and purification from coal-water slurry is above 3.0MPa. Generally, direct pressure reduction is used as the hydrogen source for hydrogen peroxide production.

[0004] The high-pressure hydrogen depressurization process involves significant pressure and energy waste, and a malfunction in the direct depressurization system could lead to overpressure in downstream equipment and pipelines, posing safety risks. Therefore, adopting a safe, reliable, and stable high-pressure hydrogen energy recovery and utilization method is of paramount importance. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Preferably, the hydrogen pipeline is also connected in sequence to the hydrogen refueling tower 18, the circulating gas compressor 23 and the hydrogen circulating gas heat exchanger 17. The bottom of the hydrogen refueling tower 18 is connected in sequence to the hydrogen liquid storage tank 21, the hydrogen liquid storage tank tail gas compressor 22 and the circulating gas compressor 23. The hydrogen refueling tower 18 is provided with anthraquinone inlet pipe.

[0034] Inside the hydrogenation tower 18, hydrogen reacts with anthraquinone in the working fluid. At the top of the tower, a large amount of unreacted hydrogen, nitrogen, and some working fluid solvent components in a gaseous phase (temperature 60-70°C) are present.
