Method and apparatus for producing gasoline and hydrogen from methanol

摘要

A method and an apparatus for producing gasoline and hydrogen from methanol are disclosed. First, methanol is supplied to a first catalyst layer located in a reaction tube arranged in a reactor via a first methanol supply path to synthesize gasoline from the methanol. At the same time, methanol is supplied to a second catalyst layer located on the outer periphery of the reaction tube provided within the reactor from a second supply path, which serves as a methanol supply path, to generate hydrogen from the methanol. Heat generated in the first catalyst layer is conducted to the second catalyst layer through the reaction tube to heat the second catalyst layer to a predetermined temperature.

1. An apparatus for producing gasoline and hydrogen from methanol, comprising:
a reaction container comprising a first reaction chamber filled with a first catalyst for an exothermic reaction of synthesizing gasoline from methanol through dimethyl ether (DME), a second reaction chamber filled with a second catalyst for an endothermic reaction of generating hydrogen from methanol, and a heat conduction unit for conducting a heat generated in the first reaction chamber to the second reaction chamber; and a methanol supply path for dividing methanol into a first part of methanol and a second part of methanol, the methanol supply path comprising a first supply path for supplying the first part of methanol to the first reaction chamber and a second supply path for supplying the second part of methanol to the second reaction chamber of the reaction container, wherein the heat conduction unit has a multi-tubular shape, the tubes being filled with the first catalyst so that the first reaction chamber is arranged inside the tubes, and a space between the tubes in the reaction container being filled with the second catalyst so that the second reaction chamber is arranged in the space between the tubes.
