Description

Bioelectrochemistry device for producing hydrogen and utilize this device to produce the method for hydrogen
Technical field
The present invention relates to hydrogen preparation field, relate in particular to a kind of bioelectrochemistry device for producing hydrogen and utilize described device for producing hydrogen to produce the method for hydrogen.
Background technology
Because fossil energy is exhausted day by day, the substitute energy of seeking cleaning has become the active demand of social development.Hydrogen has been subjected to extensive concern as the most potential new forms of energy.At present, the hydrogen in the whole world about 96% is from fossil oil, and as natural gas hydrogen preparation, water-gas reforming hydrogen manufacturing, solar hydrogen making etc., remaining hydrogen comes from water electrolysis hydrogen producing mostly.
Along with the development of process for making hydrogen, fermentative hydrogen production has also obtained people's attention.With glucose as the biological hydrogen production raw material be example carry out fermentative hydrogen production reaction equation suc as formula shown in (1) and the formula (2):
Figure A200910000430D00061
Figure A200910000430D00062
Through type (1) and formula (2) as can be seen, if having only acetate in the product, 1mol glucose can be produced 4mol hydrogen, if having only butyric acid in the product, 1mol glucose can be produced 2mol hydrogen.Present fermentation technique can make 1mol glucose produce 2~3mol hydrogen.
Because in the fermentative hydrogen production technology, most of organic substance can not thoroughly be converted into hydrogen, slatterns with acetate or butyro-form, makes that the productive rate of fermentative hydrogen production technology is lower.Though can improve productive rate by photosynthesis or pure enzyme in the technology of fermentative hydrogen production, these methods realize that cost is higher, and industrialization is difficult.
Another kind of hydrogen production process---bioelectrochemistry hydrogen producing technology has also been proposed in the prior art, the bioelectrochemistry hydrogen producing technology can not only utilize the raw material (as sewage, glucose etc.) of biological hydrogen production to carry out fermentative hydrogen production, can also further utilize the tunning hydrogen manufacturing behind the fermentative hydrogen production.
Tunning acetate with formula (1) is example, and by reaction equation formula (3) and formula (4), the bioelectrochemistry hydrogen producing technology can further utilize tunning hydrogen manufacturing.
Anode:
Figure A200910000430D00071

In the bioelectrochemistry hydrogen producing technology, the microbiological oxidation organic substrates generates carbonic acid gas, proton and electronics near the anode, electronics is transferred to anode by close anode bacterium, is accepted the back by anode and transfers to negative electrode by lead, and proton sees through proton exchange membrane and is diffused into cathode compartment from the anolyte compartment.Cathode reaction chambers is airtight, keeps oxygen-free environment, utilizes external power to strengthen the electromotive force of negative electrode in the microbiological fuel cell circuit, provides the parts of fine bacteria growing required energy on the one hand, provides electronics to negative electrode on the other hand.And directly be used as electron acceptor(EA) at negative electrode at the negative electrode proton, produce hydrogen.
But, proton exchange membrane can be disturbed the smooth transfer of the proton that produces during anolyte compartment's microorganism metabolism, a large amount of protons that the anolyte compartment is produced can't in time be transferred to cathode compartment, make that the pH value is lower in the anolyte compartment, and in cathode compartment, can not in time replenish owing to proton, the pH value is higher in the cathode compartment, has reduced the efficient that produces hydrogen; In addition, because the existence of proton exchange membrane makes that the production cost of bioelectrochemistry hydrogen producing technology is higher, limited its application at hydrogen preparation field.
