The invention discloses an integral reactor for
ammonia synthesis, and relates to the technical field of
ammonia synthesis equipment. The reactor comprises catalyst
layers, heat exchange
layers and interlayer sealing structures, wherein the catalyst
layers and the heat exchange layers are alternately stacked. The catalyst layer adopts a
honeycomb integral
ruthenium-based catalyst with
porosity greater than or equal to 70%, the cross section of a pore channel is a regular hexagon, and the
diameter is 1-5mm; the heat exchange layer is provided with a matched pore channel structure and is made of a
metal material with the heat
conductivity coefficient larger than or equal to 16 W / (m.K), and a corrugated micro-
channel network is arranged in the heat exchange layer. And the interlayer sealing structure comprises a
nickel foil
gasket and an annular hoop. Fresh feed gas enters from the first gas inlet of the heat exchange layer for preheating and enters the catalyst layer for reaction through the first gas outlet, a
reaction product is cooled through the adjacent heat exchange layer and then is discharged through the second gas outlet, and reaction-heat exchange deep
coupling is achieved. The catalyst
utilization rate is increased to 85% or above, the axial
temperature difference of the
bed is smaller than or equal to 15 DEG C, the radial
temperature difference is smaller than or equal to 10 DEG C, the flow fluctuation
response time is shortened to be within 10 minutes, the
energy consumption is reduced by 12% under the low-pressure condition of 3-5 MPa, and the method is particularly suitable for distributed green
ammonia production.
