Patent ID: 8802052

Claim:
A method for hydrogen production comprising 1) preparing a hydrogen producing device comprising (a) an inlet comprising a preheater; (b) a reactor comprising a tank; a rotating packed bed comprising an inner ring; an outer ring; and a catalyst bed forming at least one catalytic channel communicating with the inner ring and the outer ring and comprising a catalyst; (c) an annular heating unit for heating and controlling the temperature of the tank of the reactor; (d) a rotation controller for controlling the rotation of the rotating packed bed and comprising a rotary motor; and (e) an outlet is communicated with the rotating packed bed; 2) using hydrogen to wash the device and to test the impermeability thereof; 3) initiating the preheater, the annular heating unit and the rotary motor; 4) adjusting the temperature of the preheater, adjusting the temperature of the tank of the reactor and adjusting the rotating speed of the rotary motor; 5) inputting a reagent gas, a carrier gas and a liquid to the preheater while controlling the flow rates thereof so as to allow vaporization of the liquid into a steam mixed with the reagent gas, which generates a reagent mixture; 6) inputting the reagent mixture through the inlet to the tank of the reactor; and 7) passing the reagent mixture through the rotating packed bed undergoing water gas shift reaction to obtain hydrogen.
