Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of storage and transport of energy sources and more particularly that of the storage and transport of hydrogen as an energy source, and in particular that of organic compounds capable of storing and transporting hydrogen. 'hydrogen.
- This hydrogen fixation is generally carried out in a stage of hydrogenation of the support molecule.
- the hydrogenated support molecule “stores” the fixed hydrogen and this so-called “hydrogenated” molecule can be stored and/or transported.
- the fixed hydrogen can then be released, most often near the place of consumption, in a stage of dehydrogenation of the hydrogenated support molecule.
- Carrier molecules are now the subject of numerous studies and are now better known by the acronym LOHC for "Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier" in English, that is to say "Organic Liquid Carrier of Hydrogen”.
- the traces of organic compounds can thus come both from toluene (molecule in hydrogenated form) and from methylcyclohexane (molecule in dehydrogenated form), but also from all their partially hydrogenated or dehydrogenated intermediates.
- LOHCs known today are aromatic fluids with two or three rings, represented in particular by benzyltoluene (BT) and/or dibenzyltoluene (DBT) and which have already been the subject of numerous studies and patent applications, such as patent EP2925669, for example, which describes the technology and operations for the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of these fluids for the storage and release of hydrogen.
- Still other LOHC compounds are being studied and examples are presented in the article by Pàivi et al. (Journal of Power Sources, 396, (2016), 803-823). Such molecules are still today for the most part not commercially available or at prohibitive prices.
- the hydrogen resulting from this LOHC technology finds uses in very many fields, such as for example in fuel cells, in industrial processes, or even as fuel for means of transport (train, boats , trucks, motor cars).
- the LOHC technology today seems the most promising, but there remains a need for LOHC molecules that are easily available, inexpensive, or at least with very good yields in terms of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycles, with supply costs and operation as low as possible.
- One of the objectives of the present invention therefore consists in developing LOHC molecules allowing the transport and storage of the greatest possible quantity of hydrogen with the lowest possible operating cost, in other words a molecule Most cost effective LOHC possible for transporting and storing hydrogen.
- a first object of the present invention is the use of a liquid formulation at ambient temperature comprising a mixture of benzene, toluene and xylene for the fixation and release of hydrogen in at least one hydrogenation/dehydrogenation cycle of said wording.
- BTX mixtures can be obtained from petroleum products, and in particular by extraction of the aromatic compounds from a crude oil, in particular using an aprotic polar solvent, using a liquid extraction -liquid. The solvent is then eliminated and the BTX mixture is separated by distillation in order to recover the benzene, toluene and xylene.
- the xylene fraction includes the three isomers of xylene (ortho-, meta- and para-xylene), but may also include a more or less important fraction of ethylbenzene.
- the BTX mixture used in the formulation of the present invention is free of compounds containing more than 8 carbon atoms.
- the term "free from compounds with more than 8 carbon atoms" indicates that compounds with more than 8 carbon atoms may possibly be present, but in this case only in trace amounts, this is that is to say present in an amount which is not greater than 1000 ppm by weight, relative to the total weight of the formulation, and preferably not greater than 100 ppm by weight, relative to the total weight of the formulation.
- BTX mixtures are mixtures of benzene, toluene and xylene (ortho- and/or meta- and/or para-xylene), and optionally of ethylbenzene, in all proportions.
- the ratio of the benzene/toluene/xylene mixture can vary in any proportion ranging from 0% to 100%, limits excluded, by weight of each constituent, relative to the total weight of the BTX mixture.
- the BTX mixture consists of at least 2 products: toluene+benzene or toluene+xylene or xylene+benzene.
- the BTX mixture comprises the three components benzene, toluene and xylene, and most particularly preferably, in the proportions indicated above.
- the BTX mixture comprises, and preferably consists of:
- the BTX mixture comprises, and preferably consists of:
- the BTX mixture comprises, and preferably consists of:
- the mixture of benzene, toluene and xylene which can be used in the context of the present invention contains a benzene content greater than 1%, better still greater than 2%, preferably greater than 5% , more preferably still greater than 10%, and most preferably greater than 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the BTX mixture.
- a BTX mixture which can advantageously be used in the context of the present invention contains 40% benzene, 30% toluene and 30% xylene, by weight relative to the total weight of the BTX mix.
- the BTX mixture contains 48% benzene, 33% toluene and 19% xylene, by weight relative to the total weight of the BTX mixture.
