Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved method for performing HCI membrane electrolysis.
- a 20 to 26% strength aqueous hydrochloric acid is fed to the individual cells divided by a diaphragm and combined to form an electrolyzer of 30-45 units from two separate circuits for catholyte or anolyte acid, wherein the anolyte acid flows through all the anode compartments in parallel and at the same time the catholyte acid flows through all the cathode compartments in parallel.
- 30% hydrochloric acid is fed into both circuits to strengthen the depleted acid (Winnacker Küchler: Chemical Technology, Volume 2, 4th edition 1982, p. 443 ff).
- a disadvantage of this diaphragm method is that due to the permeability of the diaphragm for the electrolytes, an exchange of fluid inside the cells that cannot be controlled from the outside takes place. For example, the chlorine dissolved in the anolyte acid is partially expelled there after passing through the catholyte side and thus contributes to the contamination of the hydrogen. Another part is reduced cathodically, which leads to a reduction in the product current efficiency. Partial mixing of the chlorine and hydrogen gases produced in the electrolysis can also occur through the diaphragm.
- This process described as a "solid polymer electrolyte” (SPE) system, has the advantage that only one anolyte circuit is required, since the protons discharged on the cathode side migrate from the anode side through the membrane, so theoretically no “depletion” in the catholyte Ion occurs. In practice, however, water of hydration passes over to the cathode side, which must be removed.
- SPE solid polymer electrolyte
- a disadvantage of this method is that the current transfer from the collector electrodes to the "working electrodes" lies within the electrolyte and thus defined current transfers are very difficult to set and cannot be controlled from the outside.
- Electrocatalysts Reduced oxides from the group of noble metals, which are more or less mixed with graphite, are specified as electrocatalysts.
- these systems are much less stable than graphite under operating conditions. But if, for reasons of durability, graphite has to be used for the collector electrodes and also for the electrocatalytic layers on the membranes, the solid graphite electrodes of the conventional type are no longer a significant disadvantage. In addition, the recurring difficulties in the adhesion of the electrocatalyst to the membrane are avoided .
- a conductive electrolyte is also required on the cathode side.
- the conductivity maximum of aqueous hydrochloric acid is known to be at a concentration between 17 and 22% by weight of HCl. Since the concentration of the HCI solution in the cathode compartment decreases as a result of the transport of hydrated water through the membrane, the HCI solution must be renewed.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for carrying out the HCl electrolysis which does not have the disadvantages of the methods described. This method is intended to combine the advantage of the SPE cell with only one electrolyte circuit with the advantages of an electrolysis cell with a finite electrode / membrane spacing.
- This object is achieved in a simple manner by a method for carrying out the HCl membrane electrolysis, in which at least part of the electrolyte leaving the cathode space is fed directly into the inlet of the anode chamber.
- the concentrated hydrochloric acid to be electrolyzed is first fed into the catholyte chamber of a cell divided by a cation exchange membrane.
- the escaping acid which is diluted by the hydrate water transported with the protons to the cathode side, is then introduced into the anolyte compartment of the cell.
- the water of hydrate penetrating the membrane is conducted in a short circle, the volume flow of the acid to be returned to the HCl absorption is reduced by this proportion.
- FIG. 1 shows a cell (1) according to the invention.

- a cell voltage of 1.9 to 2.1 volts is set, depending on the distance between the electrodes.
- the chlorine and hydrogen gases formed during electrolysis leave the cell together with the electrolyte; the gas lift effect means that more electrolyte leaves the cell than fresh acid has to be added according to the current strength.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein verbessertes Verfahren zur Durchführung der HCI-Membranelektrolyse.The present invention relates to an improved method for performing HCI membrane electrolysis.
Gemäß dem Stand der Technik wird bei der Durchführung der HCI-Elektrolyse eine 20 bis 26 %ige wässrige Salzsäure den durch ein Diaphragma geteilten und zu einem Elektrolyseur von 30-45 Einheiten zusammengefaßten Einzelzellen aus zwei getrennten Kreisläufen für Katholyt- bzw. Anolytsäure zugeführt, wobei die Anolytsäure parallel alle Anodenräume und gleichzeitig die Katholytsäure parallel alle Kathodenräume durchströmt. 30 %ige Salzsäure wird zur Aufstärkung der verarmten Säure in beide Kreisläufe eingespeist (Winnacker Küchler: Chemische Technologie, Band 2, 4. Auflage 1982, S. 443 ff).According to the prior art, when carrying out the HCI electrolysis, a 20 to 26% strength aqueous hydrochloric acid is fed to the individual cells divided by a diaphragm and combined to form an electrolyzer of 30-45 units from two separate circuits for catholyte or anolyte acid, wherein the anolyte acid flows through all the anode compartments in parallel and at the same time the catholyte acid flows through all the cathode compartments in parallel. 30% hydrochloric acid is fed into both circuits to strengthen the depleted acid (Winnacker Küchler: Chemical Technology,
Nachteilig an diesem Diaphragmaverfahren ist, daß aufgrund der Durchlässigkeit des Diaphragmas für die Elektrolyte ein von außen nicht kontrollierbarer Flüssigkeitsaustausch innerhalb der Zellen stattfindet. So wird das in der Anolytsäure gelöste Chlor nach Durchtritt auf die Katholytseite dort teilweise ausgetrieben und trägt somit zur Verunreinigung des Wasserstoffs bei. Ein anderer Teil wird kathodisch reduziert, führt also zu einer Verminderung der Produkt-Stromausbeute. Es kann auch zu einer teilweisen Vermischung der in der Elektrolyse produzierten Gase Chlor und Wasserstoff durch das Diaphragma hindurch kommen.A disadvantage of this diaphragm method is that due to the permeability of the diaphragm for the electrolytes, an exchange of fluid inside the cells that cannot be controlled from the outside takes place. For example, the chlorine dissolved in the anolyte acid is partially expelled there after passing through the catholyte side and thus contributes to the contamination of the hydrogen. Another part is reduced cathodically, which leads to a reduction in the product current efficiency. Partial mixing of the chlorine and hydrogen gases produced in the electrolysis can also occur through the diaphragm.
Diese Nachteile können dadurch vermieden werden, daß anstelle des Diaphragmas eine lonenaustauscher-Membran eingesetzt wird.These disadvantages can be avoided by using an ion exchange membrane instead of the diaphragm.
So ist in der DE-A 2 844 499 vorgeschlagen worden, eine beidseitig mit Elektrokatalysatoren beschichtete Ionenaustauschermembran zu verwenden und den Strom über "Kollektor-Elektroden" zu-oder abzuführen.In DE-A 2 844 499, for example, it has been proposed to use an ion exchange membrane coated on both sides with electrocatalysts and to supply or remove the current via "collector electrodes".
Dieses als "solid polymer electrolyte"-(SPE) System beschriebene Verfahren hat den Vorteil, daß nur noch ein Anolyt-Kreislauf benötigt wird, da die kathodenseitig entladenen Protonen von der Anodenseite durch die Membran wandern, im Katholyten theoretisch also keine "Verarmung" an Ionen auftritt. Praktisch tritt jedoch Hydratwasser zur Kathodenseite über, welches entfernt werden muß.This process, described as a "solid polymer electrolyte" (SPE) system, has the advantage that only one anolyte circuit is required, since the protons discharged on the cathode side migrate from the anode side through the membrane, so theoretically no "depletion" in the catholyte Ion occurs. In practice, however, water of hydration passes over to the cathode side, which must be removed.
Nachteilig an diesem Verfahren ist jedoch, daß der Stromübergang von den Kollektorelektroden auf die "Arbeitselektroden" innerhalb des Elektrolyten liegt und somit definierte Stromübergänge nur sehr schwer einzustellen und von außen nicht kontrollierbar sind.A disadvantage of this method, however, is that the current transfer from the collector electrodes to the "working electrodes" lies within the electrolyte and thus defined current transfers are very difficult to set and cannot be controlled from the outside.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der DE-A 2 844 499 ist darin zu sehen, daß die als Kollektorelektroden vorgeschlagenen Metallsiebe in der technischen Anwendung anodenseitig nur sehr kurzzeitig und kathodenseitig nur unter kathodischem Schutz beständig sind. Entsprechende Siebe aus Graphit sind sehr kostenaufwendig sowie bei der Größe von technischen Elektrolyseuren mechanisch wenig stabil.Another disadvantage of DE-A 2 844 499 can be seen in the fact that the metal sieves proposed as collector electrodes are only very short in technical application on the anode side and on the cathode side only under cathodic protection. Corresponding sieves made of graphite are very expensive and mechanically not very stable given the size of technical electrolysers.
Als Elektrokatalysator werden reduzierte Oxide aus der Gruppe der Edelmetalle angegeben, die mehr oder weniger mit Graphit vermischt werden. Diese Systeme sind unter Betriebsbedingungen jedoch wesentlich weniger stabil als Graphit. Wenn aber schon aus Haltbarkeitsgründen Graphit für die Kollektorelektroden und auch für die elektrokatalytischen Schichten auf den Membranen verwendet werden muß, stellen die massiven Graphitelektroden herkömmlicher Art keinen nennenswerten Nachteil mehr dar. Außerdem werden die immer wieder auftretenden Schwierigkeiten bei der Haftung des Elektrokatalysators auf der Membran vermieden.Reduced oxides from the group of noble metals, which are more or less mixed with graphite, are specified as electrocatalysts. However, these systems are much less stable than graphite under operating conditions. But if, for reasons of durability, graphite has to be used for the collector electrodes and also for the electrocatalytic layers on the membranes, the solid graphite electrodes of the conventional type are no longer a significant disadvantage. In addition, the recurring difficulties in the adhesion of the electrocatalyst to the membrane are avoided .
Wenn jedoch die Elektroden von der Membran getrennt werden, wird auch kathodenseitig ein leitfähiger Elektrolyt benötigt. Das Leitfähigkeitsmaximum von wässriger Salzsäure liegt bekanntermaßen bei einer Konzentration zwischen 17 und 22 Gew.-% HCI. Da die Konzentration der HCI-Lösung im Kathodenraum in Folge des Hydratwassertransportes durch die Membran abnimmt, muß eine Erneuerung der HCI-Lösung stattfinden.However, if the electrodes are separated from the membrane, a conductive electrolyte is also required on the cathode side. The conductivity maximum of aqueous hydrochloric acid is known to be at a concentration between 17 and 22% by weight of HCl. Since the concentration of the HCI solution in the cathode compartment decreases as a result of the transport of hydrated water through the membrane, the HCI solution must be renewed.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Durchführung der HCI-Elektrolyse zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches die Nachteile der beschriebenen Verfahren nicht aufweist. Dieses Verfahren soll den Vorteil der SPE-Zelle mit nur einem Elektrolytkreislauf verbinden mit den Vorteilen einer Elektrolysezelle mit endlichem Elektroden-/Membranabstand.The object of the present invention is to provide a method for carrying out the HCl electrolysis which does not have the disadvantages of the methods described. This method is intended to combine the advantage of the SPE cell with only one electrolyte circuit with the advantages of an electrolysis cell with a finite electrode / membrane spacing.
Diese Aufgabe wird in einfacher Weise gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur Durchführung der HCI-Membranelektrolyse, bei dem zumindest ein Teil des den Kathodenraum verlassenden Elektrolyten direkt in den Zulauf der Anodenkammer eingespeist wird.This object is achieved in a simple manner by a method for carrying out the HCl membrane electrolysis, in which at least part of the electrolyte leaving the cathode space is fed directly into the inlet of the anode chamber.
Die zu elektrolysierende konzentrierte Salzsäure wird zunächst in die Katholytkammer einer durch eine Kationenaustauscher-Membran geteilten Zelle eingespeist. Die austretende, durch das mit den Protonen auf die Kathodenseite transportierte Hydratwasser verdünnte Säure wird anschließend in den Anolytraum der Zelle eingeleitet Nach entsprechender Verarmung durch die Elektrolyse läuft die verarmte Säure ab und kann nach Austreibung des Restchlors der Wiederaufsättigung mit gasförmiger HCI zugeführt werden. Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird das die Membran durchdringende Hydratwasser im kurzen Kreis geführt, der Volumenstrom der zur HCI-Absorption zurückzuführenden Säure ist um diesen Anteil verringert.The concentrated hydrochloric acid to be electrolyzed is first fed into the catholyte chamber of a cell divided by a cation exchange membrane. The escaping acid, which is diluted by the hydrate water transported with the protons to the cathode side, is then introduced into the anolyte compartment of the cell. In the method according to the invention, the water of hydrate penetrating the membrane is conducted in a short circle, the volume flow of the acid to be returned to the HCl absorption is reduced by this proportion.
Besonders vorteilhaft wird das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren so durchgeführt, daß ein Teil des die Elektrolyträume verlassenden Elektrolyten jeweils in den gleichen Elektrolytraum zurückgeführt wird.
- Fig. 1 dient zur Verdeutlichung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. Die Menge der bei A (Fig. 1) zugeführten konzentrierten Salzsäure wird so geregelt, daß am Ablauf B die entsprechende Menge verarmter HCI abgeführt wird. Für den Fall, daß die Konzentration bei A 30 %, die bei B 18 % beträgt, stellt sich bei einer spezifischen Belastung von 3 KA/m2 in der Katholytkammer eine mittlere Konzentration von ca. 24 % ein.
- Fig. 2 zeigt ein mögliches erfindungsgemäßes Schaltschema für eine Vielzahl von Einzelzellen, wie sie z.B. in einem aus 30-45 Einzelelementen zusammengesetzten Elektrolyseur vorhanden sind.
- 1 serves to illustrate the method according to the invention. The amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid supplied at A (FIG. 1) is regulated so that the corresponding amount of depleted HCl is removed at outlet B. In the event that the concentration at A is 30% and that at B is 18%, an average concentration of approx. 24% is established at a specific load of 3 KA / m2 in the catholyte chamber.
- 2 shows a possible circuit diagram according to the invention for a large number of individual cells, such as those found in an electrolyzer composed of 30-45 individual elements.
Im folgenden wird die vorliegende Erfindung beispielhaft erläutert, ohne daß dadurch eine Einschränkung der Erfindung zu sehen ist.The present invention is explained by way of example below, without any limitation of the invention being thereby seen.
In Fig. 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Zelle (1) dargestellt. Eine Ionenaustauschermembran (4) vom Typ Nafion NX 430 der Fa. Du Pont teilt die Zelle in einen Kathodenraum (2) und einen Anodenraum (3). Am Punkt A werden 0,2 l/h 30 %ige Salzsäure in den Katholytkreislauf (5) der Zelle eingespeist, die Mischung tritt von unten in die Zelle ein. Eine entsprechende Menge 21 %ige HCI läuft durch Leitung (6) auf die Anolytseite über und wird in den Anolyt-kreislauf (7) eingespeist. Die verarmte Säure verläßt schließlich mit ca. 18 % die Zelle. An Punkt B wird die entsprechende Menge HCI aus dem Anolyt-kreislauf ausgeschleust, so daß dessen Volumen konstant bleibt. Bei einer spezifischen Belastung von 30 Aldm2 und einer Elektrolyttemperatur von etwa 80°C stellt sich je nach Elektrodenabstand eine Zellenspannung von 1,9 bis 2,1 Volt ein. Die bei der Elektrolyse gebildeten Gas Chlor und Wasserstoff verlassen gemeinsam mit dem Elektrolyten die Zelle; dabei bewirkt der Gaslifteffekt, daß mehr Elektrolyt die Zelle verläßt, als entsprechend der Stromstärke an Frischsäure zugespeist werden muß. Diese Oberschußmenge wird durch die entsprechenden Kreislaufleitungen (5) und (7) dem Zelleneinlauf sofort wieder zugeführt. Die Trennung der Produkte Chlor und Wasserstoff von den entsprechenden Elektrolyten erfolgt in sogenannten Gasseparatoren an den Punkten C und D.1 shows a cell (1) according to the invention. An ion exchange membrane (4) of the Du Pont Nafion NX 430 type divides the cell into a cathode compartment (2) and an anode compartment (3). At point A, 0.2 l / h of 30% hydrochloric acid are fed into the catholyte circuit (5) of the cell, the mixture enters the cell from below. A corresponding amount of 21% HCI overflows through line (6) to the anolyte side and is fed into the anolyte circuit (7). The impoverished acid finally leaves the cell at around 18%. At point B, the corresponding amount of HCI is removed from the anolyte cycle so that its volume remains constant. With a specific load of 30 Aldm2 and an electrolyte temperature of about 80 ° C, a cell voltage of 1.9 to 2.1 volts is set, depending on the distance between the electrodes. The chlorine and hydrogen gases formed during electrolysis leave the cell together with the electrolyte; the gas lift effect means that more electrolyte leaves the cell than fresh acid has to be added according to the current strength. This excess amount is immediately fed back to the cell inlet through the corresponding circuit lines (5) and (7). The chlorine and hydrogen products are separated from the corresponding electrolytes in so-called gas separators at points C and D.
