Problems solved by technology

The problem is that the large particle size adsorbent (referring to the adsorbent with a particle size higher than the average particle size) will slide or stay in the fluidized bed reactor, which will reduce the adsorption efficiency of the adsorbent and affect the methane conversion rate and product yield
However, in this method, due to the low porosity of the foam metal plate, sufficient contact reaction between methane and water vapor and the catalyst cannot be guaranteed, and the conversion rate of methane is relatively low.
The catalyst is coated on the metal foam plate, the preparation process is more complicated, the production cost is high, and it is difficult to replace the catalyst after it is deactivated

Abstract

The invention provides a reaction device and a method for hydrogen production by methane steam reforming. The reaction device for hydrogen production by methane steam reforming is simple in structure, an adsorbent is regenerated regularly, a catalyst with the longer service life is not required to be frequently regenerated along with the adsorbent, and the energy consumption during regeneration is reduced and the reduction of the activity of the catalyst is avoided while the adsorption of the adsorbent can always meet the use requirement. A raw material flowing upwards makes countercurrent contact with the adsorbent lowing downwards, and the large-particle-size and high-density adsorbent cannot slide or be retained in a reactor and can be discharged from the bottom of the reactor timely and quickly; the raw material and the fixed catalyst can be fully contacted and react, produced CO2 is adsorbed by the adsorbent immediately, the chemical balance limitation is broken through, and the methane conversion rate is increased. The purity of obtained hydrogen is high, the hydrogen production efficiency is high, the cost is low, and the continuous, efficient and stable hydrogen production process can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, in particular to a hydrogen production reaction device and method for steam reforming of methane. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen is an important chemical raw material, widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy and aerospace and other fields. As a clean, efficient, safe and sustainable energy, hydrogen energy is regarded as the clean energy with the most development potential in this century, and is also regarded as an effective alternative energy to solve the greenhouse effect and improve energy utilization. [0003] Hydrogen production by steam reforming of methane has been used for the first time in 1926. After nearly a hundred years of continuous development, it has become the most widely used method for hydrogen production from natural gas in industry.
