甲烷自热重整制氢的热力学和动力学分析

对甲烷自热重整进行了系统的热力学分析,并采用预混合层流模型结合甲烷氧化、蒸汽重整、干重整机理对反应过程进行了动力学分析。结果表明,甲烷自热重整的平衡产物及其浓度主要受温度、O₂/CH₄、H₂O/CH₄的影响;压力影响不是十分明显,主要影响达到平衡的速度。在715℃~730℃、压力0.7MPa~1.0MPa,控制O₂/CH₄在0.60~0.70、H₂O/CH₄在3.15~3.25,可以得到H₂>68%、CO<10%的产物气,积炭率接近于0。动力学分析表明,自热重整过程分为两个主要阶段进行,在起始阶段主要发生甲烷氧化反应,产物主要为H₂O和CO₂;第二阶段以甲烷蒸汽重整反应为主,伴随水气变换反应（WGS）和微弱的干重整,H_2、CO和CO₂为主要产物。调节初始水浓度可以控制快速氧化阶段反应速率,避免“热点”出现,抑制CO的生成。     

汽油自热重整制氢反应过程分析

汽油空气自热重整制氢是解决质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）氢源的重要途径。汽油中组分复杂,特别是碳原子数、分子结构相差很大时,各组分生成焓、汽化热相差很大,热力学分析表明：重整难易有较大差别,重整规律各异;另一方面,它们重整特性又有相似的一面,理论氧碳摩尔比均接近于0.31。以正辛烷自热重整反应作为模型反应,发现重整过程O2/C、H2O/C都显著影响产氢率,高水碳比时产品气废热能否尽量回收也是一个重要因素。理论上,在O2/C=0.5、H2O/C=2.0时存在最优氢产率2.1mol/mol C,这时可以得到40mol%的氢气。在本所开发的GH12汽油重整优质催化剂上,以固定床瓜尖器模拟正辛烷自热重整反应过程,发现实验结果与理论分析吻合良好。据此提出了汽油制氢合理的工艺路线。     

含湿量对微细腔内甲烷低温重整影响的热力学研究

为了实现微燃烧器内甲烷持续稳定燃烧,要求进一步深入研究原料气中含湿量变化对微细腔甲烷湿空气低温(小于973 K)重整反应的影响.于此,本文通过热力学方法分析了 0.1 MPa下一定温度时,恒定原料气流量和恒定空碳比两种工况中,含湿量在欠氧和低温环境中对微细腔甲烷自热重整反应中积炭、甲烷转化、产氢特性及反应过程的影响.结果表明:微细腔内甲烷质量流量一定时,随着含湿量增加,积炭逐渐减小,甲烷转化率先减小后增加,氢气则一直随之增加.体系中甲烷的转化以生成CO2为主,CO的选择率随含湿量增加先增加后减小,CO2选择率则一直增加;增加含湿量会使反应后体系中水的含量增加,也会促使反应过程中体系消耗的水量最终大于生成的水量.在含湿量不超过空气量的反应条件下,两种工况中反应前后水质量分数的变化量均在含湿量达280 g·kg-1后显示出体系以消耗水为主,且原料气中湿空气的含湿量均应满足最低为350 g·kg-1,才有利于反应过程中减少积炭产生和促进重整反应,当达到这一条件时,恒定的空碳比在获得较高的甲烷转化率和氢气产率上更具优势.     

微细腔内甲烷湿空气低温重整特性热力学分析

从理论上探讨低温(小于973K)、压力、空碳比及水碳比对重整特性及甲烷转化率的影响,以及各参数的合理取值范围;同时,对甲烷自热重整系统与无氧重整系统进行了性能对比.研究结果表明:微细腔在温度大于633K,反应压力小于0.10MPa,空碳(摩尔)比为2.0以及水碳摩尔比在1.0-2.5之间有利于甲烷自热重整反应的发生;自热重整与无氧重整体系相比,当甲烷质量流量一定时,有氧系统可以在较低的水碳比和较低的温度条件下获得较高的甲烷转化率和氢气产量.     

微细腔内甲烷湿空气低温重整积炭特性的热力学分析

微细腔内重整积炭会引起催化剂失活和孔道堵塞,甲烷低温自热重整技术的提出,既有利于实现微燃烧器中甲烷的持续稳定燃烧,又能有效降低热点和减少积炭。通过热力学分析,探讨常压下反应温度低于973K时微细腔内自热重整积炭的影响因素及重整特性。结果表明,温度、空碳比及水碳比对积炭生成有重要影响。微细腔内积炭含量随温度升高先增大后减小;贫氧环境下,空碳比和水碳比的增加不仅对减少积炭有效,对氢气产生也有利;同时,甲烷自热重整系统与无水系统相比减碳性能优越。甲烷质量流量为6.6g/h、空碳比和水碳比分别为2和1时,积炭产生的温度为680K~850K,并在785K达到积炭质量分数的最大值为0.66%,此时甲烷转化率和氢气质量含量分别为53.43%和2.37%;且消碳对应的空碳比和水碳比分别约为2.4和1.1。

生物质空气-水蒸气气化制取合成气热力学分析

基于Gibbs自由能最小化原理,计算了包括H2O(l)和C(s)在内的,生物质空气 水蒸气气化体系热力学平衡,对比分析了常压气化和加压气化的特点,通过回归分析得到了不同压力下,气化产物中可燃气体分率最高时的水蒸气/生物质质量比（S/B,Steam to Biomass Ratio）与空气当量比（ER,Equivalence Ratio）的关系曲线,为探讨适于制取合成气的气化工艺和条件提供初步的理论指导。研究表明,相对于常压气化,加压气化体系的平衡温度较高,平衡状态下可燃气体分数较低,但CH4含量明显增加;一定温度和当量比下,加压气化使得气化产物中可燃气体分数达到最高所对应的S/B比增大,即需要消耗更多水蒸气;通过调节S/B比,可以比较方便地控制产物中H2和CO的比例。以常压为例,T=1173K,S/B=0.17时,气化产物中H2/CO约为1.1∶1,而S/B=1.02时,气化产物中H2/CO约为2∶1;不同压力下最佳S/B比和ER有很好的线性关系,温度为1173K时,最佳S/B比与压力及ER〖的关系为S/B=－1.48×ER－4.49 E×10－5×p2 + 5.83 E×10－3×p + 0.32。     

Oxidative reforming of methane for hydrogen and synthesis gas production:Thermodynamic equilibrium analysis

A thermodynamic analysis of methane oxidative reforming was carried out by Gibbs energy minimization (at constant pressure and temperature) and entropy maximization (at constant pressure and enthalpy) methods,to determine the equilibrium compositions and equilibrium temperatures,respectively.Both cases were treated as optimization problems (non-linear programming formulation).The GAMS 23.1 software and the CONOPT2 solver were used in the resolution of the proposed problems.The hydrogen and syngas production were favored at high temperatures and low pressures,and thus the oxygen to methane molar ratio (O 2 /CH 4) was the dominant factor to control the composition of the product formed.For O 2 /CH 4 molar ratios higher than 0.5,the oxidative reforming of methane presented autothermal behavior in the case of either utilizing O 2 or air as oxidant agent,but oxidation reaction with air possessed the advantage of avoiding peak temperatures in the system,due to change in the heat capacity of the system caused by the addition of nitrogen.The calculated results were compared with previously published experimental and simulated data with a good agreement between them.     

Effect of CeO2 on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 for autothermal reforming of methane

The effect of promoter Ce on the catalytic performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for autothermal reforming of methane to hydrogen was investigated. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results indicated that the catalytic performance of the catalysts was improved with the addition of Ce. Ni/Ce30Al70Oδ showed the highest CH4 conversion in operation temperatures ranging from 650 ℃ to 850 ℃. At the same time, the decrease in H2/CO ratio with increasing reaction temperature was consistent with the fact that water-gas shift reaction was thermodynamically unfavorable at higher temperatures. The XRD result indicated that adding Ce to Ni/Al2O3 catalyst prevented the formation of NiAl2O4 and facilitated the formation of NiO. The formation of NiO increased the number of active sites, resulting in higher activity. Comparing the TPR profiles of Ni/Ce30Al70Oδ with Ni/Al2O3, it could be clearly observed that with the addition of Ce, the total reduction peak areas in the middle and low temperatures increased. It was most probably that the addition of Ce inhibited the stronger interaction between Ni and Al2O3 to form the phase of NiAl2O4, and favored the formation of the strong interaction between NiO species and CeO2. Therefore, the addition of Ce to the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst increased the active surface that promoted the activity of the catalyst.

Hydrogen production via autothermal reforming of ethanol over noble metal catalysts supported on oxides

Hydrogen was produced over noble metal (Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd) catalysts supported on various oxides, including γ-Al₂O₃, CeO₂, ZrO₂ and La₂O₃, via the autothermal reforming reaction of ethanol (ATRE) and oxidative reforming reaction of ethanol (OSRE). The conversion of ethanol and selectivites for hydrogen and byproducts such as methane, ethylene and acetaldehyde were studied. It was found that lanthana alone possessed considerable activity for the ATRE reaction, which could be used as a functional support for ATRE catalysts. It was demonstrated that Ir/La₂O₃ prevented the formation of methane, and Rh/La₂O₃ encumbered the production of ethylene and acetaldehyde. ATRE reaction was carried out over La₂O₃-supported catalysts (Ir/La₂O₃) with good stability on stream, high conversion, and excellent hydrogen selectivity approaching thermodynamic limit under autothermal condition. Typically, 3.4 H₂ molecules can be extracted from a pair of ethanol and water molecules over Ir(5wt%)/La₂O₃. The results presented in this paper indicate that Ir/La₂O₃ can be used as a promising catalyst for hydrogen production via ATRE reaction from renewable ethanol.
