Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur elektrochemischen Herstellung von Chlor aus wässrigen Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff in einer Elektrolysezelle.The invention relates to a method for the electrochemical production of chlorine from aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride in an electrolytic cell.
Wässrige Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff (Salzsäuren) fallen beispielsweise als Nebenprodukte bei der Herstellung von organischen Chlorverbindungen durch Chlorierung mit elementarem Chlor an. Viele dieser organischen Chlorverbindungen sind Zwischenprodukte für die großtechnische Herstellung von Kunststoffen. Die anfallenden wässrigen Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff müssen einer Verwertung zugeführt werden. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Verwertung dergestalt, dass aus den wässrigen Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff wieder Chlor hergestellt wird, das dann beispielsweise für weitere Chlorierungen eingesetzt werden kann.Aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acids) fall for example as By-products in the production of organic chlorine compounds by Chlorination with elemental chlorine. Many of these organic chlorine compounds are intermediates for the large-scale production of plastics. The Any aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride must be recycled be supplied. Preferably, the recovery takes place in such a way that from the aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride again chlorine is produced, which then can be used for example for further chlorinations.
Die Umsetzung zu Chlor kann z.B. durch Elektrolyse der wässrigen Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff an einer Gasdiffusionskathode erfolgen. Ein entsprechendes Verfahren ist aus US-A-5 770 035 bekannt. Die Elektrolyse erfolgt gemäß US-A-5 770 035 in einer Elektrolysezelle mit einem Anodenraum, mit einer geeigneten Anode, z.B. einer edelmetallbeschichteten bzw. -dotierten Titanelektrode, der mit der wässrigen Lösung von Chlorwasserstoff gefüllt wird. Das an der Anode gebildete Chlor entweicht aus dem Anodenraum und wird einer geeigneten Aufbereitung zugeführt. Der Anodenraum ist von einem Kathodenraum durch eine handelsübliche Kationenaustauschermembran getrennt. Auf der Kathodenseite liegt eine Gasdiffusionselektrode auf der Kationenaustauschermembran auf. Hinter der Gasdiffusionselektrode befindet sich ein Stromverteiler. In den Kathodenraum wird üblicherweise ein Sauerstoff-haltiges Gas oder reiner Sauerstoff eingeleitet.The conversion to chlorine can e.g. by electrolysis of the aqueous solutions of Hydrogen chloride take place on a gas diffusion cathode. A corresponding Method is known from US-A-5 770 035. The electrolysis is carried out according to US-A-5 770 035 in an electrolytic cell with an anode compartment, with a suitable Anode, e.g. a noble metal coated or doped titanium electrode, with the aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride is filled. The one formed at the anode Chlorine escapes from the anode compartment and becomes suitable treatment fed. The anode compartment is from a cathode compartment by a commercially available Cation exchange membrane separated. On the cathode side is a gas diffusion electrode on the cation exchange membrane. Behind the gas diffusion electrode there is a power distributor. In the cathode compartment is usually an oxygen-containing gas or pure oxygen introduced.
Der Anodenraum wird auf einem höheren Druck gehalten als der Kathodenraum. Dadurch wird die Kationenaustauschermembran auf die Gasdiffusionskathode und diese wiederum auf den Stromverteiler gedrückt. Die Einstellung des Drucks kann z.B. durch eine Flüssigkeitstauchung erfolgen, durch die das in der Anodenkammer gebildete Chlorgas geleitet wird.The anode compartment is maintained at a higher pressure than the cathode compartment. As a result, the cation exchange membrane on the gas diffusion cathode and these in turn pressed on the power distributor. The setting of the pressure can e.g. done by a liquid immersion, through which in the anode chamber formed chlorine gas is passed.
Das aus US-A-5 770 035 bekannte Verfahren hat den Nachteil, dass bei hohen Stromdichten, worunter insbesondere Stromdichten größer als 4000 A/m2 zu verstehen sind, an der Gasdiffusionskathode eine vergleichsweise hohe Menge Wasserstoff gebildet wird. Hohe Stromdichten sind jedoch bei der technischen Durchführung des Verfahrens aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen notwendig. Außerdem stellt sich bei hohen Stromdichten eine vergleichsweise hohe Spannung ein, was einen hohen Energieverbrauch bedingt.The US-A-5,770,035 known method has the drawback, that at high current densities, including in particular current densities greater than 4000 A / m 2 are understood to be formed on the gas diffusion cathode, a relatively high amount of hydrogen. However, high current densities are necessary in the technical implementation of the method for economic reasons. In addition, at high current densities, a comparatively high voltage sets in, which requires high energy consumption.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Bereitstellung eines Verfahrens zur elektrochemischen Herstellung von Chlor aus wässrigen Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff, wobei selbst beim Arbeiten mit hohen Stromdichten möglichst wenig Wasserstoff gebildet wird und sich eine möglichst niedrige Spannung einstellt.The object of the invention is to provide a method for electrochemical Production of chlorine from aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride, using itself When working with high current densities, as little hydrogen as possible is formed and sets the lowest possible voltage.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur elektrochemischen Herstellung von Chlor aus wässrigen Lösungen von Chlorwasserstoff in einer Elektrolysezelle, umfassend mindestens eine Anodenkammer und eine Kathodenkammer, wobei die Anodenkammer durch eine Kationenaustauschermembran von der Kathodenkammer getrennt ist, die Anodenkammer eine Anode und die Kathodenkammer eine Sauerstoffverzehrkathode enthält, und in die Anodenkammer die wässrige Lösung von Chlorwasserstoff und in die Kathodenkammer ein sauerstoffhaltiges Gas eingeleitet wird, wobei der absolute Druck in der Kathodenkammer mindestens 1,05 bar beträgt.The invention relates to a process for the electrochemical production of Chlorine from aqueous solutions of hydrogen chloride in an electrolytic cell, comprising at least one anode chamber and a cathode chamber, wherein the Anodenkammer through a cation exchange membrane of the cathode chamber is separated, the anode chamber an anode and the cathode chamber an oxygen-consuming cathode contains, and in the anode chamber, the aqueous solution of Hydrogen chloride and introduced into the cathode chamber, an oxygen-containing gas is, wherein the absolute pressure in the cathode chamber is at least 1.05 bar.
Durch den erfindungsgemäß leicht erhöhten Druck in der Kathodenkammer wird die Bildung von Wasserstoff an der Sauerstoffverzehrkathode vermindert und zudem eine niedrigere Elektrolysespannung erzielt, als bei Reaktionsführung unter Normaldruck, entsprechend dem Umgebungsdruck, in der Kathodenkammer. Es ist erstaunlich und war nicht zu erwarten, dass bereits eine vergleichsweise geringe Erhöhung des Drucks in der Kathodenkammer zu einer deutlichen Reduzierung der unerwünschten Wasserstoffentwicklung an der Sauerstoffverzehrkathode und zu niedrigeren Elektrolysespannungen führt, was wiederum hinsichtlich des Energieverbrauchs vorteilhaft ist.Due to the inventively slightly increased pressure in the cathode chamber is the Formation of hydrogen at the oxygen-consuming cathode reduced and also achieved a lower electrolysis than in reaction under normal pressure, according to the ambient pressure, in the cathode chamber. It is amazing and was not expected to have a comparatively small increase the pressure in the cathode chamber to a significant reduction of unwanted hydrogen evolution at the oxygen-consuming cathode and to lower electrolytic voltages, which in turn results in energy consumption is advantageous.

The pressure in the cathode chamber is preferably 1.05 to 1.5 bar, especially preferably 1.05 to 1.3 bar.
Die Einstellung des Drucks in der Kathodenkammer auf den erfindungsgemäßen Wert von mindestens 1,05 bar kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass das der Kathodenkammer zugeführte sauerstoffhaltige Gas durch eine Druckhaltevorrichtung angestaut wird. Eine geeignete Druckhaltevorrichtung ist beispielsweise eine Flüssigkeitstauchung, durch die der Kathodenraum abgesperrt wird. Ein Androsselung über Ventile stellt ebenfalls eine geeignete Methode zur Einstellung des Drucks im Kathodenraum dar.The adjustment of the pressure in the cathode chamber on the inventive Value of at least 1.05 bar can be done, for example, that the Cathode chamber supplied oxygen-containing gas through a pressure holding device is accumulated. A suitable pressure holding device is for example a Fluid compression, through which the cathode space is shut off. A throttling About valves also provides a suitable method for adjusting the Pressure in the cathode compartment.
Um einen hinreichenden Kontakt zwischen Kationenaustauschermembran und Sauerstoffverzehrkathode zu gewährleisten, wird vorzugsweise in der Anodenkammer ein Druck eingestellt, der 0,01 bis 1000 mbar höher ist als der Druck in der Kathodenkammer.To ensure adequate contact between cation exchange membrane and To ensure oxygen-consuming cathode is preferably in the anode compartment set a pressure that is 0.01 to 1000 mbar higher than the pressure in the Cathode chamber.

Particularly preferably, the pressure in the anode chamber is 50 to 500 mbar, completely more preferably 200 to 500 mbar higher than the pressure in the cathode chamber.
