Synthesis Of Low Silicon Sodium X Zeolite

View page
US Patent:
6596256, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Aug 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/648798
Inventors:
Adeola F. Ojo - Scotch Plains NJ
Frank R. Fitch - Bedminster NJ
Craig S. Gittleman - Brighton NY
Sudhakar R. Jale - Scotch Plains NJ
Assignee:
The BOC Group, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
C01B 3922
US Classification:
423700, 423716, 423DIG 21
Abstract:
Low silicon sodium X zeolite containing little or no sodium A zeolite as by-product, is prepared by direct synthesis from sodium ion-containing hydrogels, the crystallization step being carried out by maintaining the hydrogels at a temperature below about 70Â C. , and preferably in the range of about 50 to about 70Â C. for the duration of the crystallization step. Preferably, the ratios of components in the solutions used to make the hydrogel are such that in the hydrogel the silica/alumina molar ratio will be in the range of about 2. 25:1 to about 2. 4:1; the sodium oxide to silica molar ratio will be in the range 1. 6:1 to about 1. 9:1; and the water to sodium oxide molar ratio will be greater than about 60:1.

Method Of Delivering Fuel And Air To A Fuel Cell System

View page
US Patent:
6635372, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Oct 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/967278
Inventors:
Craig S. Gittleman - Rochester NY
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
H02M 804
US Classification:
429 17, 429 24
Abstract:
A method for removing sulfur-containing species from a liquid hydrocarbon fuel and capturing a portion of vaporized sulfur-free fuel to be processed into hydrogen for use in a fuel cell engine. Sulfur is removed by heating the fuel under pressure to keep the fuel in the liquid phase, and passing it over a sulfur trap that contains an adsorbent bed that adsorbs the sulfur-containing species in the fuel. The sulfur-free fuel is depressurized to a two-phase hydrocarbon mixture. The vapor/liquid mixture is separated, and the liquid portion is sent to a fuel processor system. The vapor portion is sent to a vapor canister where it is adsorbed on an activated carbon adsorbent. The adsorbed hydrocarbon vapors are desorbed from the vapor trap by purging it with air when the fuel cell engine is first started up.

Combined Water Gas Shift Reactor/Carbon Dioxide Adsorber For Use In A Fuel Cell System

View page
US Patent:
6692545, Feb 17, 2004
Filed:
Feb 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/780079
Inventors:
Craig S. Gittleman - Brighton NY
Ramesh Gupta - Berkeley Heights NJ
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
C10K 302
US Classification:
48128, 48 62 R, 48 85, 481279, 481983, 422190, 422211, 429 17, 429 19, 429 20
Abstract:
An apparatus removes CO from a hydrogen-rich gas stream in a hydrogen fuel cell system. CO fouls costly catalytic particles in the membrane electrode assemblies. Both a catalyst adapted to perform a water gas shift reaction, and a carbon dioxide adsorbent are disposed in a rotating pressure swing adsorber housing. The adsorption of carbon dioxide shifts equilibrium toward carbon monoxide consumption. A second adsorbent may be disposed in the housing for adsorbing carbon monoxide at low temperatures, and is adapted to desorb carbon monoxide at high temperatures. The present invention advantageously eliminates a unit operation from a space-constrained fuel cell vehicle by combining the WGS catalyst and a CO adsorbent in a single reactor/housing. The apparatus further eliminates the use of a PROX reactor, by providing an apparatus which incorporates CO adsorption and consequent carbon monoxide consumption in the place of the PROX reactor.

Rapid Startup Of Fuel Processor Using Water Adsorption

View page
US Patent:
6835219, Dec 28, 2004
Filed:
May 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/853398
Inventors:
Craig S Gittleman - Brighton NY
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
C01B 300
US Classification:
481983, 422188, 422190, 422194, 422211, 422222, 48 61, 481279, 481987
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for rapidly heating fuel processor components during startup of a fuel cell powered vehicle. Rapid heating is achieved by placing a water adsorbent downstream of the fuel processors primary reactor, which converts a hydrocarbon-based fuel to a hydrogen-rich fuel. In addition to hydrogen, the reformed fuel (reformate) includes carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water. The water adsorbent, which has a high heat of adsorption, produces heat as it adsorbs water in the reformate. Heat generated by water adsorption enhances the rate at which fuel processor components, such as a water-gas-shift reactor, reach their operating temperatures. In addition, water adsorption reduces water condensation on the water-gas-shift reactor catalyst. Once the fuel processor components attain their operating temperatures, water desorbs from the adsorbent and is available for converting carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and hydrogen in the water-gas-shift reactor.

Carbon Monoxide Adsorption For Carbon Monoxide Clean-Up In A Fuel Cell System

View page
US Patent:
6964692, Nov 15, 2005
Filed:
Feb 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/780184
Inventors:
Craig S. Gittleman - Brighton NY, US
William H. Pettit - Rochester NY, US
Gerald E. Voecks - Fairport NY, US
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
C10K003/04
US Classification:
48128, 481279, 48 75, 48102 R, 48 94, 48107, 48 95, 48119, 422190, 422191, 422193, 422194, 422209, 422211, 422222, 422223, 429 17, 429 19, 429 20
Abstract:
An apparatus removes carbon monoxide (CO) from a hydrogen-rich gas stream in a hydrogen fuel cell system. CO fouls costly catalytic particles in the membrane electrode assemblies of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. A vessel houses a carbon monoxide adsorbent. The vessel may be a rotating pressure swing adsorber. A water gas shift reactor is upstream of the rotating pressure swing adsorber. The water gas shift reactor may include a second adsorbent adapted to adsorb carbon monoxide at low temperatures and to desorb carbon monoxide at high temperatures. The apparatus advantageously eliminates the use of a preferential oxidation (PROX) reactor, by providing an apparatus which incorporates CO adsorption in the place of the PROX reactor. This cleans up carbon monoxide without hydrogen consumption and the concomitant, undesirable excess low grade heat generation. The present invention reduces start-up duration, and improves overall fuel processor efficiency during normal operation.

Control Of A Hydrogen Purifying Pressure Swing Adsorption Unit In Fuel Processor Module For Hydrogen Generation

View page
US Patent:
7011693, Mar 14, 2006
Filed:
Nov 12, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/706319
Inventors:
Kiran Mallavarapu - Rochester NY, US
John B Ruhl - Rochester NY, US
Craig S. Gittleman - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI
International Classification:
B01D 53/047
US Classification:
95 22, 95 23, 95 96, 95119, 95130, 95139, 95140, 95143, 96110, 96114, 96115, 96124, 96130, 96143
Abstract:
A PSA unit for purifying hydrogen in a fuel processor system. The PSA unit employs rotary valves that cycle the pressurization of vessels, including an adsorbent, between a high pressure state and a low pressure state. The purified hydrogen is released from the vessels through a purified gas output port when the vessels are in the high pressure state and the impurities are released through an exhaust port when the vessels are in the low pressure state. The PSA unit also employs a mass flow control device and a pressure sensor in the purified gas output port. A controller receives a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, and controls the flow through the mass flow control device and the speed of the rotary valves so that the proper pressure is maintained at the hydrogen output port.

Abstract:
A stand-alone fuel processor () for producing hydrogen from a hydrocarbon fuel for a fuel cell engine in a vehicle. The fuel processor () includes a primary reactor () that dissociates hydrogen and other by-products from the hydrocarbon fuel as a reformate gas. The reformate gas is applied to a WGS reactor () to convert carbon monoxide and water to hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The WGS reactor () may include an adsorbent for adsorbing carbon monoxide. The reformate gas from the WGS reactor () is then sent to a rapid-cycle PSA device () for adsorbing the undesirable by-products in the gas and generates a stream of pure hydrogen. A liquid water separator () separates water from the reformate gas before it is applied to the PSA device (). The PSA device () uses a portion of the separated hydrogen as a desorbing gas to purify the adsorbent in the PSA device (). The by-products of the reformate gas can be used as a fuel in a combustor () that generates heat for the primary reactor ().
