Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cell for electrolysis where gas is generated, which cell comprises separate anode and cathode compartments separated by an ion-selective membrane.
  • the invention also relates to a method for making a cell according to the invention, and to the use of the cell in electrolysis.
  • electrolytic processes e.g. the production of chlorine and alkali
  • electrolytic processes are often carried out in cells having separate anode and cathode compartments separated by one or more ion-selective membranes.
  • the life time of the membrane is drastically shortened owing to mechanical stress and too high a current density, which may appear locally depending on large concentration gradients in the electrolyte.
  • the membrane For the membrane to function satisfactory, it must also be in permanent contact with liquid, which may be difficult to achieve in electrolytic processes with gas generation, especially with the very short electrode spacings which are aimed at to minimise the consumption of electric current.
  • Chlorine-alkali electrolysis is often performed in two-chamber cells with vertical electrodes, in which the membrane is pressed against the anode by a positive pressure in the cathode compartment.
  • the electrode extends in each chamber as far up as the upper boundary surface of the cell, and the gas-rich liquid produced during the electrolysis leaves the cell through an outlet, whereupon the gas is separated off. Gas bubbles may get stuck between one of the electrodes, especially the anode, and the membrane, this increasing the electrical resistance of the cell and, hence, decreasing current efficiency.
  • Another problem is the migration of hydroxide ions through the membrane into the anode compartment, which give rise to undesired side reactions, unless being quickly rinsed off.
  • electrodes To increase the electrolyte flow between the electrode and the membrane and to promote the removal of gas bubbles, electrodes have been designed which are provided with different types of channels on the surface, as described in EP-A 415 896 and EP-A 533 237
  • Electrolytic cells with internal circulation are also disclosed in EP-A 99 693, EP-A 311 575, and in US patent 5,130,008.
  • the invention aims at solving the problem of providing an efficient membrane cell for electrolysis where gas is generated, while considering the life time of the cell membrane.
  • the invention also solves the problem of enhancing the efficiency of an existing membrane cell by a simple modification.
  • the invention relates to a cell for electrolysis where gas is generated, which cell comprises separate anode and cathode compartments separated by at least one preferably substantially vertical ion-selective membrane.
  • At least one of the anode and cathode compartments of the cell is designed for electrolysis where gas is generated and comprises at least one substantially vertical electrode, the front side of which is facing a membrane, and at least one partition, so as to form at least two substantially vertical channels and a space of larger cross-sectional area located above the partition, of which a first channel for upward transport of gas-rich electrolyte is defined by said partition and the electrode while a second channel for downward transport of gas-deficient electrolyte, as seen from the electrode, is located behind said first channel, said partition being arranged such that gas-rich electrolyte which is transported upwards in said first channel is subjected to a venturi effect so that the main part of the gas is separated off in an area adjacent the upper edge of the electrode and the main part of the electrolyte is recycled downwards
  • the partition should be placed such that the separation of gas from the electrolyte takes place as high up as possible.
  • the upward transport of the gas-rich electrolyte takes place by the gas which is generated during the electrolysis producing an upwardly directed pumping force P h y draul which depends on the height of the channel and on the density difference between gas and liquid, this difference partly depending on the flow velocity.
  • This pumping force must exceed the flow resistance P channel in the channel which depends on the hydraulic diameter thereof, the friction factor of the material, and the flow velocity.
  • the level of separation is determined by the static pressure difference according to the formula:
  • the static pressure difference is directly proportional to the height to which the pumping force is able to transport the liquid and where the separation starts as foaming.
  • the foaming area extends substantially as far up as the upper edge of the electrode, which in most cells means the upper boundary surface of the cell.
  • the optimal location of the partition depends on several parameters, and so the proper position must be tried out in the particular cases by varying the location of the partition both vertically and laterally, and hence the height and cross-section of the channel, so that separation takes place as high up as possible and the desired recirculation is achieved.
  • the electrode suitably comprises through openings so as to be permeable to electrolyte.
  • All known electrodes intended to be arranged vertically can be used.
  • Examples of known electrodes are perforated plate electrodes, electrodes of expanded metal or fine-meshed netting, electrodes comprising longitudinal or transverse rods or slats, and as well as electrodes comprising curved or straight lamellae, which may be vertically or horizontally extended, punched from a common metal sheet, for example louver electrodes.
  • the electrode surface may, but need not, comprise channels for promoting the electrolyte flow on the side facing the membrane.
  • These electrode types are well known and described e.g. in the above-mentioned EP-A 415 896 and EP-A 533 237, as well as in GB Patent Specification 1,324,427.
  • the anode and cathode compartments may also comprise one or more auxiliary electrodes, for example in the form of expanded metal or fine-meshed netting, fixed in and electrically connected to the partition, optionally via spacer means so as to be disposed adjacent the main electrode.
  • auxiliary electrodes for example in the form of expanded metal or fine-meshed netting, fixed in and electrically connected to the partition, optionally via spacer means so as to be disposed adjacent the main electrode.
  • the electrode may be manufactured from metals such as Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zr, Nb, Ag, Pt, Ta, Pb, AI or alloys thereof.
  • Ti or Ti alloys are preferred as anode material, while Fe, Ni or alloys thereof are preferred as cathode material.
  • the electrode is suitably activated by a surface coating of a suitable catalytic material, depending on what reactions should be catalysed. Suitable catalytic materials are metals, metal oxides or mixtures thereof from group 8B in the Periodic table, i.e. Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir or Pt, of which Ir and Ru are particularly preferred.
  • An optional auxiliary electrode preferably consists of the same or similar materials as the electrode and is, like the electrode, provided with a suitable catalytic surface coating.
  • the partition is preferably arranged substantially parallel to the electrode and has preferably substantially the same lateral extension. Further, the partition is suitably made of an electrically conductive material and is galvanically connected to the electrode, e.g. by being connected to the same current source, this promoting the current distribution in the cell. An optional auxiliary electrode may have its main current lead-in through the partition. All materials that can be used for the electrode are also suitable for the partition. Preferably, use is made of the same material for the partition as for the electrode, for example titanium. Normally, the partition need not be activated, although it is of course possible.
  • the invention can be applied to electrolytic cells where the anode and the cathode are arranged in separate cell chambers for anolyte and catholyte, respectively. These cell chambers may be arranged beside each other and then be separated only by an ion-selective membrane.
  • a cell may also comprise one or more chambers located between the anode and cathode compartments and separated from these and from each other by ion-selective membranes.
  • Both the anode compartment and the cathode compartment suitably comprise an inlet for electrolyte provided in the bottom, and one or more outlets for gas and non-recycled electrolyte provided in the top.
  • the cells are suitably arranged as separate units, for example in an electrolyser of the filter press type.
  • a cell chamber may comprise one or more channels for ascending gas-rich electrolyte and one or more channels for descending gas-deficient electrolyte.
  • the cell chamber accommodates an electrode and an partition such that the rear channel is defined by the partition and the rear vessel wall of the cell.
  • a cell chamber may also comprise a double-sided electrode, the two sides of which are facing a respective membrane.
  • two partitions are required which together form a centrally located channel for descending gas-deficient electrolyte and which define, together with a respective electrode side, a respective channel for ascending gas-rich electrolyte.
  • Such a cell chamber is normally of substantially symmetrical design.
  • a cell according to the invention may also comprise means for conducting part of the recycled electrolyte in the horizontal direction, for the purpose of further reducing the concentration gradients. This can be achieved by means of guide vanes disposed in the upper part of the cell or by varying the level of the upper edge of the partition in the cell.
  • the partition may comprise means for localised admixture of gas-deficient electrolyte to the channel located closest to the electrode for ascending gas-rich electrolyte, which is advantageous for large electrode surfaces, for example exceeding about 0.5 m 2 , since the concentration gradients in the electrolyte which are detrimental to the membrane can then be reduced.
  • the channel closest to the electrode may be divided into sections at different levels, which are not in contact with each other but open in a common channel located behind for ascending gas-rich electrolyte.
  • the partition may also quite simply have a number of openings admitting gas-deficient electrolyte to the channel closest to the electrode.
  • the upper edge of the partition i.e. where gas separation takes place, may be straight or have recesses in the form of different geometric figures.
  • the upper part of the partition may also comprise openings of different types.
  • the invention also relates to a method for making an electrolytic cell as described above.
  • the method comprises the step of modifying an existing membrane cell having separate anode and cathode compartments separated by at least one preferably substantially vertical ion-selective membrane, at least one of the anode and cathode compartments comprising at least one substantially vertical electrode, the front side of which is facing the membrane.
  • This modification is performed by providing at least one of the anode and cathode compartments with at least one partition so as to form at least two substantially vertical channels and a space of larger cross-sectional area located above the partition, of which a first channel for upward transport of gas-rich electrolyte is defined by the partition and the electrode while a second channel for downward transport of gas-deficient electrolyte, as seen from the electrode, is located behind the first channel, the partition being arranged such that gas-rich electrolyte which is transported upwards in the first channel is subjected to a venturi effect so that the main part of the gas is separated off in an area adjacent the upper edge of the electrode and the main part of the electrolyte is recycled downwards through the second channel.
  • the electrode in the existing cell chamber is comparatively open, for example like certain louver electrodes, it is advantageously made more close by providing its rear side with an auxiliary electrode of e.g. expanded metal or fine-meshed netting. All newly-added parts, such as partitions, auxiliary electrodes and the like, may first be assembled into a unit which is then mounted in the anode and cathode compartments, respectively. In other respects, reference is made to the description of the cell according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to a method in electrolysis where gas is generated, using a cell according to the invention.
  • the invention it has become possible to considerably increase the flow velocity of the electrolyte through a membrane cell at the same time as the generated gas can be separated from the liquid within the cell but in an area where the effect on the sensitive membrane is at a minimum.
  • the life time of the membrane is extended by reducing the pH-gradient and the concentration gradient in the electrolyte and by raising the liquid level in the electrode gap.
  • By displacing the gas separation zone and shielding it from the electrode gap the formation of bubbles in the membrane induced by uneven current distribution can be reduced, this solving one of the most serious problems inherent in prior-art membrane cells.
  • a special advantage is that existing cells can be easily modified so as to considerably increase their efficiency and the life time of the membrane.
  • the invention can be applied to all electrolytic processes which involve gas generation, usually one or more of oxygen, hydrogen gas and chlorine gas, and which can be carried out in membrane cells having separate anode and cathode compartments.
  • Conceivable processes are the electrolysis of sodium chloride in aqueous solution to chlorine, hydrogen and alkali, or the electrolysis of sodium sulphate in aqueous solution to oxygen, hydrogen, sulphuric acid and alkali.
