Description

Method for synthesizing ammonia by electrocatalytic nitric oxide
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ammonia by electrocatalytic reduction of nitric oxide, in particular to a method for realizing recycling utilization by using high selectivity conversion of harmful ingredient nitric oxide in porous membrane electrode electrocatalytic reduction flue gas into high economic benefit ammonia. Belongs to the technical field of nitrogen oxide flue gas recycling treatment.
Background
Nitric oxide is an important link in microbial nitrogen circulation, is an intermediate product of microbial ammonia synthesis, is an important basic chemical raw material, is mainly used as a chemical fertilizer, a refrigerant and a chemical raw material, is one of chemical products with the largest yield in the world, is an ideal energy storage carrier, and plays an important role in global economy, and ammonia is mainly prepared by directly combining nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a Haber method in industry. The method has mature process, but needs high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and has high investment and operation cost. At present, an attempt is continuously made to synthesize ammonia by electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction, and the method has the advantages that the method can be carried out under the conditions of normal temperature and normal pressure, but because of the chemical inertness of nitrogen, two nitrogen atoms of the nitrogen exist in the form of a nitrogen-nitrogen triple bond, the difficulty of bond breaking is high, the bond energy is very high, and the problems of low activity, low selectivity caused by hydrogen evolution reaction competition and the like exist in the current electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction. Nitric oxide, however, is the oxidation product of nitrogen at high temperatures, and has no poorly cleavable nitrogen-nitrogen triple bonds, but rather relatively weak nitrogen-oxygen bonds. Therefore, the nitrogen monoxide is used as a reducing substance to synthesize ammonia, so that the energy consumption of reduction can be greatly reduced, and the method has certain advantages in the speed and selectivity of synthesizing ammonia.
Electrocatalytic has been applied to degradation of structurally stable organic materials and molecular recombination reactions as an effective method for promoting chemical reactions. The technology has the advantages that the technology can be carried out at normal temperature and normal pressure, thereby greatly saving energy. As one of the important intermediates for the denitration reaction, the study of nitric oxide catalysis helps to understand the complex reaction mechanism thereof. The main products of this reaction are ammonia, nitrogen, nitrous oxide and hydrogen. Where ammonia is produced at a lower potential, nitrogen and nitrous oxide require relatively higher potentials. The current research on electrochemical reduction of nitric oxide mainly uses noble metals such as palladium, platinum, silver and other catalysts, and the selectivity is relatively low. Copper and nickel catalysts have many advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts such as high catalytic selectivity, activity, clear structure, and extremely high atomic utilization. Thus, the conversion of the atmospheric pollutant nitric oxide into economically beneficial ammonia in a low cost, sustainable manner is of great importance.
