In the manufacturing method,
A tetraalkylammonium salt is supplied to the IlI electrode chamber, and a predetermined tetraalkylammonium hydroxide is circulated as an aqueous electrolyte solution to the intermediate chamber and the cathode chamber, and electricity is applied to obtain highly purified tetraalkylammonium hydroxide from the cathode chamber.

Eventually, it becomes necessary to stop operation.

As a result, we obtained knowledge that can solve problems in multichamber electrolyzers that use two or more cation exchange membranes by specifying the current efficiency of each cation exchange membrane and performing electrolysis under the appropriate conditions. , which led to the completion of the present invention.

This method is characterized by electrolysis.

In addition, it is preferable to maintain the difference in current efficiency between cation exchange membranes arranged adjacently from the anode side to the cathode side generally at 1 to 15%, particularly 5 to 10%. The cation exchange membrane is not particularly limited to known cation exchange membranes, and examples include hydrocarbon-based or perfluorocarbon-based cation exchange membranes having cation exchange groups such as sulfonic acid groups and carboxylic acid groups.

効率が決定される。Therefore, in the present invention, the current efficiency is generally maintained by adjusting the fixed ion concentration, such as the ion exchange capacity and water content, in the order in which two or more cation exchange membranes are arranged from the anode side to the cathode side. It is sufficient to obtain two or more cation exchange membranes having different cation exchange membranes and arrange them at predetermined positions relative to the electrodes of the electrolytic cell. The current efficiency of each cation exchange membrane can be measured by applying an electrolyte solution of a predetermined concentration to the cathode side of the cation exchange membrane, but it is possible to measure the current efficiency by applying an electrolyte solution of a predetermined concentration to the cathode side of the cation exchange membrane. Each predetermined current efficiency is determined in advance.

には、一般に0.5〜1.5規定高くする。First, in the present invention, in a multi-chamber electrolytic cell equipped with a cation exchange membrane having the same current efficiency, the concentration of the electrolyte solution supplied to each chamber formed on the cathode side of the cation exchange membrane is adjusted to the cathode side. By adjusting the current efficiency so that it increases successively toward the chamber side, the current efficiency of the cation exchange membrane can be maintained successively lower from the anode side to the cathode side. For example, in an electrolytic cell that is divided into an anode chamber, an intermediate chamber, and a cathode chamber by two cation exchange membranes of the same type, the raw material tetraalkylammonium salt is placed in the anode chamber, and the tetraalkylammonium hydroxide is placed in the intermediate and cathode chambers. When high-purity tetraalkylammonium hydroxide is obtained from the cathode chamber by being circulated and electrolyzed as an aqueous solution, the temperature of the aqueous tetraalkylammonium hydroxide solution that is circulated to the cathode chamber is changed to the temperature of the aqueous solution of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide that is circulated and supplied to the intermediate chamber. The temperature is maintained higher than that of the aqueous tetraalkylammonium hydroxide solution. In the production of the above-mentioned tetraalkylammonium hydroxide, the concentration of the aqueous tetraalkylammonium salt solution in the anode chamber is generally 0.5 to 5.0 K, and the concentration of the aqueous tetraalkylammonium hydroxide solution in the intermediate chamber is generally 0.5 - 5.0 K.
The concentration of the tetraalkylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution is adjusted by adding pure water to the cathode chamber, and the concentration is generally selected from the range of 0.3 to 4.0N. At this time, in order to make the difference in current efficiency between the two cation exchange membranes 1 to 15% as described above, the concentration of the tetraalkyl ammonium hydroxide snot solution in the hot electrode chamber is generally lower than the concentration in the intermediate chamber. 0.2-2. .. 0 regulation higher. Similarly, in order to specifically increase the difference in current efficiency by 5 to 10 orders, the current efficiency is generally increased by 0.5 to 1.5 normals.

オン交換膜を配する態様も好ましい。In addition, when producing, for example, tetraalkylammonium hydroxide according to the present invention, in order to prevent corrosion of the anode and side reactions in the anode chamber, anions are placed between the anode and the cation exchange membrane on the anode side. A preferred method is to supply an acid aqueous solution to the anode chamber using an electrolytic cell equipped with an exchange membrane. Furthermore, in order to prevent the generation of tangible halogen gas at the anode or the deterioration of the anion exchange membrane in the electrolytic cell, a cation exchange membrane that is resistant to curing is placed on the anode side of the anion exchange membrane. The aspect is also preferable.

い。An anode chamber with a cation exchange group of 2& as described above,
When producing tetraalkylammonium hydroxide using an electrolytic cell divided into three chambers, an intermediate chamber and a cathode chamber, the deterioration rates of both cation exchange membranes are different, resulting in a difference in current efficiency. That is, because of the impurities contained in the raw material tetraalkylammonium salt, the cation exchange membrane that partitions the aei chamber that supplies the aqueous solution of the tetraalkylammonium salt is better than the cation exchange membrane that partitions the cathode chamber. In many cases, they deteriorate faster than membranes, and their current efficiency also decreases faster.

運転を停止せざるを得ない状態に至る。In an electrolytic cell in such a state, the amount of tetraalkylammonium ions that move from the anode chamber to the intermediate chamber and then to the cathode chamber via the cation exchange membranes is as follows: The amount of tetraalkyl ammonium ions in the intermediate chamber tends to gradually decrease because the amount increases compared to the amount entering the intermediate chamber from the anode chamber. This decrease in tetraalkylammonium ions in the intermediate chamber causes l! The number of equivalents of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide in the ring-supplied aqueous tetraalkylammonium hydroxide solution decreases. In addition, since tetraalkylammonium ions are usually accompanied by about 4 water molecules, the amount of the tetraalkylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution that is circulated and supplied to the intermediate chamber also decreases as the tetraalkylammonium ions decrease. I'm going to go. As a result of a decrease in the number of equivalents or the amount of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide in the tetraalkylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution supplied to the intermediate chamber, the circulating supply of the solution to each chamber becomes unstable, and
This results in a problem of increased sliding voltage and temperature, which eventually leads to a situation where the electrolytic operation has to be stopped.

This has enabled stable continuous operation over a long period of time.
