Utilize generation hydrate or its precursor that the Hydrogen Separation in the hydrogeneous gas mixture is put forward dense method
Relate to the field
The present invention relates to a kind ofly be applicable to recovery, put forward dense technology, generate hydrate or its precursor comes the hydrogen in the hydrogeneous gas mixture is carried out separating and concentrating by utilizing such as hydrogen in coal-seam gas, refinery's splitting gas, hydrogeneous refinery gas or the hydrogenation tail gas.
Background technology
To produce hydrogen in the cracking of ethylene process, this is an important hydrogen source, general recovery method is: in the demethanizing cat head, the mixture of hydrogen and methane is realized separating of hydrogen and methane in very low temperature (-160 ℃ approximately) by ice chest, and this operation will consume a large amount of colds and use complicated compression, changes cold technology.
Also contain hydrogen partial in hydrogenation tail gas, oil refinery dry gas, the coal-seam gas, the technology of recover hydrogen had pressure swing adsorption and membrane separation technique in the past, and the former needs the logotype of 7-10 bed, the facility investment height, high material consumption, latter's working pressure are more than 15Mpa, and hydrogen dividing potential drop pressure reduction is more than 10Mpa, working pressure is higher, and energy consumption is big.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to: generate the bigger phenomenon of pressure difference based on the gas with various hydrate, generate hydrate or its precursor and come the hydrogen in the hydrogeneous gas mixture is carried out the method that separating and concentrating provides a kind of high efficiency, recover hydrogen that energy consumption is low by utilizing.
The present invention is achieved in that the method for utilizing hydrate separating and concentrating hydrogen, it is characterized in that: it is dense to utilize the method that generates hydrate or its precursor that hydrogen is carried from contain hydrogen mixture, separate, to contain hydrogen mixed gas and be-20 ℃-10 ℃ in temperature range, pressure is under the operational condition of 0.1-20MPa, making non-hydrogen generate hydrate exists with solid form, or generation hydrate precursor exists with liquid form, and can not generating hydrate, hydrogen still exists with the form of gas, pass through gas then, Gu after separating, the solid phase hydration materialization is separated and is realized gas delivery.

8Deng) and a kind of crystalline substance of under certain temperature and pressure, generating of water, generally between 0 ℃ and 15 ℃, difference is very big with the difference of the gas that generates hydrate and generate pressure for the generation temperature of hydrate.During as 1 ℃, the generation pressure of methane is up to 30 normal atmosphere, and propane can generate hydrate below normal pressure, and the gas separation of hydrate just is being based on the gas with various hydrate and is generating realizing than big difference of pressure.
The hydrate precursor is meant that gas combines with water but do not reach the state of solid crystals as yet, and it still is liquid.
Utilize generating hydrate or its precursor, to come recover hydrogen be exactly to make other component in the gas mixture form hydrate and remove, and hydrogen can not form hydrate because molecule is too little.Because hydrate is zero to the selectivity of hydrogen, thereby can be with more than the hydrogen upgrading to 95% by an equilibrium stage.
The invention has the advantages that: absorption is compared with transformation, present technique can significantly improve the rate of recovery of hydrogen, reduce facility investment and materials consumption, compare working pressure and pressure falls and can reduce with membrane sepn, the isolating affected pressure of Hydrate Technology can be about 3MPA, pressure drop more than 0.1MPA, thereby cut down the consumption of energy.Can above zero finish with hydrate separating hydrogen gas and methane in the cracking of ethylene process, this can save a large amount of colds and number of compression stages, thereby increases economic efficiency.

Concrete enforcement
The basic procedure of single equilibrium stage is: gas mixture at first enters in the hydrator, with the hydrator temperature at-20 ℃-10 ℃, pressure is under the 0.1-20Mpa condition, select concrete operational condition generally between light key ingredient (hydrogen) and heavy key (methane or ethene etc.) formation condition, make gas mixture be easy to generate the heavy key generation hydrate of hydrate and do not reach the condition that light key ingredient generates hydrate, so just can make the gas of hydration in hydrate or its precursor tangible difference be arranged, the awkward gas of hydrate and the hydrate of generation of generating of mixed gas separation in hydrator with the gas composition that does not generate hydrate.The hydrate that generates or its precursor flow into to dissolve in the pond to be dissolved by heating or step-down, and the water cycle after dissolving is returned hydrator, dissolves gas for easily generating the part of hydrate.
The basic procedure of many equilibrium stages is: adopt a plurality of equilibrium stages, the difficult gas that generates hydrate among the single-stage charging equilibrium stage A is entered next equilibrium stage B (operational condition and then change into the higher operational condition of selectivity) as charging, the difficult gas that generates hydrate returns in the charging of A equilibrium stage among the balance B, among the same equilibrium stage A the difficult gas that generates hydrate enter easily generate hydrate among the equilibrium stage C among the equilibrium stage C gas also as the charging of equilibrium stage A.Like this, just can utilize many equilibrium stages that the weight component is all had better selectivity.
Embodiment:
The basic procedure of single equilibrium stage:
Gas mixture at first enters hydrator, and hydrator temperature, pressure are controlled at respectively :-20 ℃-10 ℃, 0.1-20.0MPa.Mixed gas partly generates hydrate in hydrator, and remainder is product (hydrogen that contains high density).The hydrate that generates or its precursor flow into to dissolve utilizes heating or step-down to dissolve (general temperature is no more than 28 ℃, and pressure is lower than hydrator and gets final product) in the pond, the water cycle after dissolving is returned hydrator, and dissolving the gas that is byproduct (containing small quantity of hydrogen).
