Description

High-efficient microporous diaphragm water electrolyzing bath
The present invention relates to a kind of electrolytic water device, specifically provide a kind of efficient water electrolyzer of low power consuming that adopts microporous membrane to separate the hydrogen-oxygen 2 air chambers.
The water electrolyzer of using in industrial production is often separated the hydrogen-oxygen 2 air chambers with woven asbesto, and it needs to work under the condition of two Room equilibrium pressures.But because oxygen leaks to hydrogen chamber string, cause the gaseous mass that produces poor, hydrogen purity has only 98%.And because of two interelectrode distances are big, the direct current consumption height (reaches 5Kw-hr/m 3H 2More than).At present more advanced technology (J.Appl.Electrochem.18 (1988) 1-4) is to adopt ion-exchange membrane and special membrane as the air chamber barrier film, and utilize two kinds of perforation plates that the aperture differs for electrode to form zero polar distance electrolytic bath.This water electrolyzer can partly solve the big problem of interelectrode distance, has reduced energy consumption to a certain extent.But this device needs strict control condition, inconvenient operation, and simultaneously, because this device does not still solve common conduit electrolysis problem, so the gas purity that this technology provided is not high.In addition, this device is difficult in the industrial production and adopts also because of the cost height.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of efficient water electrolyzer, this electrolyzer not only consumes energy low, and can produce high-purity hydrogen (more than 99.99%) and oxygen.Simultaneously, convenient because of this electrolyzer control, anti-mishandle performance is strong, and cost is low, so be suitable for using in industrial production.
For achieving the above object, it is the division plate of the microporous membrane of 80~100nm as hydrogen-oxygen air chamber in the water electrolyzer that water electrolyzer provided by the present invention at first adopts mean pore size, like this can be between 2 air chambers at steady operation under the differential pressure, not only carry power is provided for liquid, can solve simultaneously gas trains again effectively and leak phenomenon, gaseous mass can improve.In the running, oxygen room is a normal pressure, thereby when hydrogen chamber works under pressure, also can be replenished the water of electrolysis easily by non-pressurized oxygen room.Its microporous membrane commonly used can be selected micropore asbestos film, potassium titanate film or titanium dioxide film etc., the thickness 0.5~2.5mm of microporous membrane for use.Secondly, the employing perforation plate is electrode (main electrode), and forms hard supporting structure to add bus or conductive supporting pad between pole plate and division plate (supporting electrode).This installation form, making perforation plate main electrode and division plate supporting electrode is equi-potential, the two perforation plate main electrodes that are positioned at the microporous membrane both sides can fit tightly with microporous membrane, make it to form stable zero polar moment.Can reduce between electrode contact electricity resistance (particularly the electroplax electrolyzer being constituted many situations to the multipole electrolyzer) effectively by single, also reduced as far as possible two main electrode distance from, reduce energy consumption, increase work efficiency, make direct current consumption can reach 8.8~4.0Kw-hr/m 3H 2Its perforation plate can be by ortho-water electrolyzer battery lead plate material commonly used, and for example nickel, stainless steel or iron nickel-plated sheet etc. evenly are drilled to aperture and make, and the aperture accounts for 20~80% of battery lead plate with Φ 1~3mm, hole area and is advisable.When perforation plate was made negative electrode, technology adopted the thermolysis coating to prepare cobalt-nickel, Ni-Ti, nickel-molybdenum-tungsten isoreactivity cathode routinely.Division plate can be made by stainless steel or iron nickel plating material.Bus or conductive supporting pad can be by making with division plate metal sheet of the same race or other metallic substance.In addition, water electrolyzer of the present invention adopts corrosion resistant non-metallic material to make shared duct, has overcome so effectively that electrolysis causes the not high technical problem of gas purity in the common conduit because of division plate (supporting electrode).Combine with adopting microporous membrane technology, can guarantee the quality of water electrolytic gas, hydrogen purity can reach 99.99%.Material as the shared duct of liner can be selected polymer resene Erosion-Resisting Non-metallic Materials such as polysulfones, polypropylene, tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoroethylene-propylene, polyvinyl chloride for use, makes common conduit inner bushing ring or common conduit.
Accompanying drawing 1 provides the cell construction synoptic diagram for embodiment 1.
Accompanying drawing 2 provides the cell construction synoptic diagram for embodiment 2.
Give further detailed explanation below by example to technology of the present invention.
Example 1 high-efficient microporous diaphragm water electrolyzing bath 1
(0.5~1.5mm) for the emblem pore membrane to choose the asbestos film of aperture 800A, (anode is iron nickel plating to make electrode apart from the thick perforation plate of 1mm of 1mm through surface treatment with aperture Φ 2mm stalk, negative electrode is a Ni-Ti), division plate supporting electrode and conductive supporting pad are made by stainless steel, make dead ring with polysulfone material and be embedded in four jiaos of division plate to constitute shared duct, the assembling and the structure of water electrolyzer are illustrated by Fig. 1.Accompanying drawing 1 is a single counter electrode water electrolyzer structural representation, wherein: 1. division plate; 2. dead ring; 3. frame; 4. emblem pore membrane; 5. perforation plate; 6. conductive supporting pad.
By structure shown in Figure 1, a pair of perforation plate 5 (main electrode) has closely cooperated in microporous membrane 4 both sides, be added with conductive supporting pad 6 between division plate 1 (supporting electrode) and the perforation plate 5, form division plate 1 and be tightly linked structure with perforation plate 5 hard supports, it makes the division plate 1 of homonymy and perforation plate 5 be equi-potential.In common conduit hole, division plate 1 two ends, be inlaid with dead ring 2, the common conduit inwall of division plate 1 is not contacted with electrolytic solution, can prevent its electrolysis effectively, other installation of electrolyzer and can adopt routine techniques to carry out by the sealing that insulating material is made between the frame 3.This water electrolyzer hydrogen output pressure 0.4MPa, oxygen room is a normal pressure, electrolytic solution can be injected by oxygen room.Produce hydrogen purity and can reach more than 99.99%, its direct current consumption is 3.9Kw-hr/m 3H 2
