By using heteropoly acid as catalyst and charge carrier
the new high-efficiency biomass electrolysis technology for hydrogen production can electrolyze almost all biomass raw materials to obtain hydrogen
which has the advantages of high efficiency and low energy consumption. Therefore
it has great application value. The experimental system of hydrogen production by electrolysis of biomass using glucose as raw material was established
and a physical model for energy consumption of hydrogen production by electrolysis was established. The hydrogen production performance by electrolysis of glucose was studied from two aspects of hydrogen production rate and energy conversion rate. The results show that
the hydrogen production rate of this technology can reach 58.88 m L/min and the electricity consumption of hydrogen production is calculated to be 2.132(k W·h)/m~3. The energy conversion efficiency can reach 10.465%. In the process of pretreatment
the energy consumption is about 73.187% of the total energy consumption. By analyzing the characteristics of energy consumption of each part
it is proposed to change the pump operation strategy and use solar energy and other renewable energy for pretreatment
which can improve the energy conversion efficiency greatly.
