Reactor for dehydrogenation of organic compound, hydrogen production apparatus, and hydrogen production process

摘要

Provided are a hydrogen production process and a reactor for dehydrogenation whereby it is possible to mix hydrogen with a raw material for a dehydrogenation reaction easily and simply and suppress a reduction in the performance of a dehydrogenation reaction catalyst when hydrogen is produced by combining the dehydrogenation reaction of organic hydrides or the like with a hydrogen separation membrane. The hydrogen production apparatus comprising a reactant container into which an organic compound which releases hydrogen in the presence of a dehydrogenation catalyst is to be introduced; a flow-type reactor which is connected to the reactant container and contains a dehydrogenation catalyst; a product container which is connected to the reactor and located at the opposite side of the reactant container across the reactor; a hydrogen container which is adjacent to both of the reactant container and the product container; a first hydrogen separation membrane which separates a space in the hydrogen container from a space in the product container; and a second hydrogen separation membrane which separates a space in the hydrogen container from a space in the reactant container.
