Gang Xu Beijing Key Laboratory of Energy Safety and Clean Utilization, Key Laboratory of Condition Monitoring and A Novel Coal-Based Hydrogen Control for Power Plant Equipment of Ministry of Education, School of Energy and Power Engineering, Production System With Low CO2 North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China Emissions HongGuang Jin Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, In this paper, we have proposed a novel coal-based hydrogen production system with low Chinese Academy of Sciences, CO2 emission. In this novel system, a pressure swing adsorption H2 production process Beijing 100080, China and a CO2 cryogenic capture process are well integrated to gain comprehensive perfor- e-mail: hgjin@ mance. In particular, through sequential connection between the pressure swing absorp- tion PSA H2 production process and the CO2 capture unit, the CO2 concentration of PSA purge gas that enters the CO2 capture unit can reach as high as 70%, which results YongPing Yang in as much as 90% of CO2 to be separated from mixed gas as liquid at a temperature of 55°C. This will reduce the quantity and quality of cold energy required for cryogenic Liqiang Duan separation method, and the solidi?cation of CO2 is avoided. The adoption of cryogenic energy to capture CO2 enables direct production of liquid CO2 at low pressure and Beijing Key Laboratory of Energy Safety and thereby saves a lot of compression energy. Besides, partial recycle of the tail gas from Clean Utilization, CO2 recovery unit to PSA inlet can help enhance the amount of hydrogen product and Key Laboratory of Condition Monitoring and lower the energy consumption for H2 production. As a result, the energy consumption for Control for Power Plant Equipment of Ministry of the new system’s hydrogen production is only 196.8 GJ/ tH2 with 94% of CO2 captured, Education, which is 9.2% lower than that of the coal-based hydrogen production system with Selexol School of Energy
