MEMBRANE REACTION APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING HEAT OF REACTION

摘要

The present invention provides a membrane reaction apparatus for recovering heat of reaction, which includes a membrane reactor. The said membrane reactor includes a reaction pipeline, a membrane and a sweep pipeline. The reaction pipeline has a reaction space, and an exothermic reaction occurs therein, which generates product gas and heat of reaction. Part of the product gas penetrates through the membrane around the reaction space and enters into the sweep pipeline. Sweeping gas enters into the sweep pipeline and carries the product gas and the heat of reaction away. It is feasible to wrap the product gas around the sweep pipeline, for enhancing the heat transfer from the product gas to the sweeping gas. The heat of reaction brought by the sweeping gas can be further released in a heat exchanger. so that the heat of reaction is available to be recovered and used for other endothermic processes.

主权项

1. A membrane reaction apparatus for recovering heat of reaction comprising:
a membrane reactor comprising: a reaction pipeline, which comprises a reaction space for exothermic reaction therein; a membrane installed in outer side of the reaction space and the both sides of the membrane connected with the reaction pipeline, wherein product gas and heat of reaction generated from the exothermic reaction pass through or are accumulated by the membrane; and a sweep pipeline, wherein the one side of the sweep pipeline is installed in outer side of the membrane, and sweeping gas enters into the sweep pipeline and contacts with the membrane, then carries away the product gas and the heat of reaction.
