Apparatuses and methods for hydrogen production
11691874 · 2023-07-04 · ·

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for hydrogen production as well as apparatuses useful in such systems and methods. Hydrogen is produced by steam reforming of a hydrocarbon in a gas heated reformer that is heated using one or more streams comprising combustion products of a fuel in an oxidant, preferably in the presence of a carbon dioxide circulating stream.

Systems and methods for generating hydrogen from water consisting of reacting aluminum alloy powders with steam in the presence of an effective amount of promotor are provided. Aluminum powder is premixed with a dry solid-state promotor mixture before being exposed to high-temperature steam. Steam is introduced into a vessel called reactor, where the aluminum powder premixed with optimal ratio of promotors is contacted at pressure and temperature conditions to help the reaction between aluminum powder and water occurs completely, with 100% conversion in less than 15 minutes. Since the reaction occurs at high temperature condition, the heat released from the exothermic reaction between aluminum and steam is a “high-quality” heat, contributing to excess heat separation and making the most of the reaction heat, producing steam.

Catalyst carrier for bi-reforming processes

Methods for bi-reforming with a red mud catalyst support composition, one method including providing a methane feed in the presence of carbon dioxide and steam to react over the red mud catalyst support composition at increased temperature and increased pressure to produce synthesis gas comprising H.sub.2 and CO, the composition comprising red mud material produced from an alumina extraction process from bauxite ore.

METHODS OF PRODUCING HYDROGEN AND NITROGEN USING A FEEDSTOCK GAS REACTOR

There is described a method of producing hydrogen and nitrogen using a feedstock gas reactor. Reaction of feedstock and combustion gases in the reactor produces hydrogen and nitrogen through pyrolysis of the feedstock gas. Parameters of the process may be adjusted to control the ratio of hydrogen to nitrogen that is produced such that it may be suitable, for example, for the synthesis of ammonia.

STEAM REFORMING

A process is described for steam reforming a hydrocarbon feedstock containing one or more nitrogen compounds, comprising passing a mixture of the hydrocarbon feedstock and steam through a catalyst bed consisting of one nickel steam reforming catalysts disposed within a plurality of externally heated tubes in a tubular steam reformer, wherein each tube has an inlet to which the mixture of hydrocarbon and steam is fed, an outlet from which a reformed gas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, steam, ammonia and methane is recovered, and the steam reforming catalyst at least at the outlet of the tubes is a particulate eggshell steam reforming catalyst comprising 2.5 to 9.5% by weight nickel, expressed as NiO, wherein the nickel is provided in a layer at the surface of the catalyst and the thickness of layer is in the range of 100 to 1000 μm.
