Abstract

The invention discloses a hydrogen production method with mixed sulfur circulation, which belongs to the technical field of thermochemical circulation hydrogen production. In this method, dilute sulfuric acid is concentrated in a rectification tower first, and after preheating, it enters a cracking furnace and mixes with fuel gas and air. It is divided into two streams, one of which is sent to the rectification tower, and the other is sent to the absorption tower to absorb sulfur dioxide; the cathode area of ​​the electrolytic cell produces hydrogen products. The invention uses high-grade steam to concentrate and preheat dilute sulfuric acid, and uses industrial by-product fuel gas to crack concentrated sulfuric acid at high temperature. Compared with the traditional mixed sulfur cycle hydrogen production, this method makes full use of industrial by-product gas and meets the large-scale demand for hydrogen in hydrogen-rich metallurgy, petroleum processing and other fields. At the same time, the fuel gas combustion by-product water used in the sulfuric acid pyrolysis process can be recycled, which is more water-saving than other water splitting hydrogen production processes, and is a hydrogen production process with strong industrial application potential.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mixed sulfur cycle hydrogen production method, in particular to a mixed sulfur cycle hydrogen production technology based on high-grade heat source and industrial by-product gas pyrolysis of sulfuric acid, and belongs to the technical field of thermochemical cycle hydrogen production. Background technique [0002] As the simplest process of thermochemical water splitting hydrogen production, mixed sulfur cycle hydrogen production contains only two reactions, one of which is thermochemical reaction—sulfuric acid decomposition reaction; and the other reaction is electrochemical reaction, that is, sulfur dioxide removal Polarized electrolytic reaction. The chemical equations of the above two reactions are as follows: [0003] h 2 SO 4 → SO 2 +H 2 O+1 / 2O 2 [0004] 2H 2 O+SO 2 →H 2 SO 4 +H 2 [0005] The above two reactions are combined, and the total reaction is the decomposition of water to generate hydrogen and ox...
