No. 3,969,201 proposes an apparatus for producing hydrogen peroxide comprising a three-dimensionally structured carbon cathode and an ion exchange membrane. However, in these methods, the amount of alkali essential for the production of hydrogen peroxide increases almost in proportion to the produced hydrogen peroxide, so that the alkali concentration relative to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide obtained becomes too high and the application is limited. Would. U.S. Pat. ) Is obtained. However, these methods have disadvantages in that it is difficult to control the amount and speed of the transfer of the electrolyte solution from the anode chamber to the cathode chamber, the management of operating conditions is complicated, and particularly the ratio of generated hydrogen peroxide is not constant.

Further, Journal of Electrochemical Societ
y, vol. 130, 1117- (1983) proposes a method for stably obtaining an acidic hydrogen peroxide solution by using sulfuric acid and anion exchange membranes and supplying sulfuric acid to the intermediate chamber. Further, in Vol. 57 of Electrochemistry, p. 1073 (1989), a method of improving performance by using a membrane electrode assembly as an anode is reported. However, these methods have a drawback in that they consume a large amount of electric power and are economically disadvantageous, and furthermore, the use and mixing of sulfuric acid are unavoidable. To date, a sufficiently satisfactory method for producing hydrogen peroxide has been obtained. Absent. JP-A-6-88273, JP-A-6-336687 and JP-A-6-200389 disclose an apparatus for producing hydrogen peroxide including a carbon cathode having a three-dimensional structure and an ion exchange membrane, and a method for producing hydrogen peroxide using the apparatus. Yield production and electrode materials are disclosed. However, it has been found that this device has a problem in increasing its size. That is, when a carbon plate is used as a cathode power supply, since carbon is porous, oxygen, which is a reaction raw material, and an alkaline aqueous solution to be generated easily permeate and become brittle. It is possible to impregnate with a phenolic resin impregnant as a seal,
Since the impregnating agent has no resistance to the alkaline aqueous solution, it cannot be an effective measure. Also, when a metal or alloy is used as a power supply, catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide often occurs. Gold is relatively unlikely to undergo the catalytic cracking, but is expensive and difficult to put into practical use.

[0008] The hydrogen peroxide decomposition reaction represented by the formula (1) proceeds when the generated hydrogen peroxide ion comes into contact with a metal or alloy having catalytic catalytic ability for catalytic decomposition. In the present invention, the cathode having a catalytic ability to decompose hydrogen peroxide is coated with a dense film containing a carbon component, so that the catholyte containing hydrogen peroxide does not come into contact with the cathode through the film. Therefore, the generated hydrogen peroxide is hardly decomposed (the current efficiency of hydrogen peroxide generation is maintained at a high level), and the hydrogen peroxide is taken out of the cell from the catholyte outlet to be used for a predetermined purpose. Conversely, from the viewpoint of protection of the cathode, the cathode does not come into contact with hydrogen peroxide, which is liable to cause electrode deterioration. Therefore, the cathode is not weakened and its life is not shortened, and a stable electrolysis operation can be performed for a long time. . This means that the electrode material does not elute into the generated hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution,
The resulting hydrogen peroxide is obtained as a high-purity product free of impurities.

In the present invention, the electrode feeder, particularly the cathode feeder, is a coating comprising carbon as a main component on an electrode substrate made of a metal such as iron, aluminum, copper and nickel or an alloy containing the above metal as a main component such as stainless steel. To cover. As described above, this film is to prevent the electrode substrate from substantially contacting the electrode solution, and its thickness may be any thickness sufficient to prevent contact with the electrode solution. Usually, it is 0.1 to 5 mm. The shape of the film may be appropriately determined according to the power supply.When the power supply is plate-shaped, it covers a single surface of the power supply as a sheet, and when the power supply is mesh-shaped, it covers the entire mesh. What is necessary is just to be the shape made. As the carbon component, untreated carbonaceous material cannot be used from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance, and conductive diamond doped with 100 to 10,000 ppm of graphite, glassy carbon, boron, or the like, fluorine-treated carbon, or the like is used. This carbon component is kneaded with a fluororesin powder such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) functioning as a binder, processed into, for example, a sheet shape, and is tightly fixed and coated on the electrode substrate by a pressure treatment or an adhesive. The addition amount of the fluororesin is appropriately selected within a range where the conductivity is not impaired, and the mixing ratio is desirably 5: 1 to 1: 1 by volume. The pressure for the pressure treatment is about 1 to 100 kgf / cm 2 . It is preferable to use an electrically conductive adhesive, and when the adhesive has no electrical conductivity, the adhesive area is set to a half or less of the whole.

The electrode feeder of the present invention having the above-described structure is used as an electrode feeder, particularly a cathode feeder, of a two-chamber method and a three-chamber method electrolytic cell for producing hydrogen peroxide. Used in a state of being electrically connected to the anode or the cathode of the electrolytic cell. The power feeders for both electrodes may be constituted by the same power feeder, and a supply port or an outlet for the electrode solution or gas may be opened in each power feeder. The shape of the anode and the cathode is not particularly limited, but is preferably a shape having good contact efficiency with the electrode solution, such as a wire mesh, a sponge, a felt, and a shape having porosity by powder sintering. The thickness of the electrode is preferably as small as possible because the conductivity of the supplied alkaline aqueous solution or the generated alkaline aqueous solution containing hydrogen peroxide is often low, but if too thin, the flow of the electrode solution and the flow of gas are hindered. In some cases, the optimum range is 0.5 to 5 mm.
The anode catalyst is preferably a metal such as platinum, iridium or their oxides or carbon when supplying an acidic aqueous solution to the anode chamber to generate oxygen, and these catalysts are preferably titanium, niobium, tantalum, and titanium having the above-mentioned shape. It is supported on a corrosion-resistant anode substrate such as stainless steel, zirconium, or carbon by a thermal decomposition method, a resin fixing method, a composite plating method, or the like so as to have a weight of about 10 to 500 g / m 2 .

On the other hand, oxygen and water are supplied to the cathode to generate hydrogen peroxide. From the viewpoint of reaction efficiency, it is desirable that the catalyst be more alkaline than neutral. It is desirable to use the same as in the case of the above-mentioned anode substrate, and to carry it to about 10 to 500 g / m 2 on a suitably shaped cathode substrate by a thermal decomposition method or the like. Further, in order to smoothly supply and remove the oxygen-containing gas, the reaction product gas and the liquid as the raw materials, a hydrophobic or hydrophilic material may be dispersed and supported on the cathode. A porous fluororesin or an ion-exchange membrane is used as a diaphragm for partitioning the anode chamber and the cathode chamber, or the anode chamber, and the intermediate chamber and the cathode chamber. The ion exchange membrane may be either a fluororesin type or a hydrocarbon type, but the former is preferred from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance. Examples of the former include Nafion 117, Nafion 350, Nafion 902 and Nafion 961 (both manufactured by DuPont) having a sulfonic acid group or a carboxylic acid group. The ion exchange membrane has a function of preventing each ion generated at the anode and the cathode from being consumed at the counter electrode, and promptly performing electrolysis even when the conductivity of the electrode solution is low as in the present invention. .

The structure of the electrolytic cell of the present invention is not particularly limited except that it is divided into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber (including an anode gas chamber, an intermediate chamber, and a cathode chamber) by a cation exchange membrane. In a two-chamber electrolyzer, an anolyte compartment and a catholyte compartment are partitioned by a cation exchange membrane, and the anode or cathode compartment is separated by an anode or a cathode into a gas compartment opposite to the solution compartment on the cation exchange membrane side. May be partitioned. However, with such a structure, if the conductivity of the electrode solution is low, the cell voltage increases, the structure becomes complicated, and there are many disadvantages such as the necessity of gas-liquid separation. Therefore, it is desirable that the anode and the cathode are in close contact with or bonded to the ion exchange membrane. When they are brought into close contact with each other, it is sufficient to mechanically connect them in advance, or to apply pressure during electrolysis.
About 30 kgf / cm 2 is preferable. The electrolytic cell itself is preferably made of glass, resin lining material, carbon, titanium, stainless steel, nickel, PTFE resin, etc. excellent in corrosion resistance from the viewpoint of durability and stabilization of hydrogen peroxide. In the case of a material which may cause decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, it is preferable to form a film containing the above-mentioned carbon component or a film made of another corrosion-resistant material on the surface, that is, the inner wall of the electrolytic cell.

The electrode power supply according to the present invention is characterized in that a dense film containing a carbon component is formed on at least a portion of the surface of an electrode substrate made of a metal or an alloy which comes into contact with an electrolytic solution. It is an electrode feeder of the electrolytic cell for use. With conventional electrode feeders that use carbon alone or metals or alloys, in the case of carbon alone, the electrode solution such as an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide generated in the porous carbon alone penetrates, weakening the electrode and shortening its life There is a drawback in that the electrode material is eluted and the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution is contaminated. Further, a metal electrode such as stainless steel is decomposed with hydrogen peroxide to lower the current efficiency, and a gold electrode is hardly decomposed with hydrogen peroxide, but has the disadvantage of being too expensive. On the other hand, in the electrode power supply body in which a dense film containing a carbon component is formed on the contact surface with the electrode solution as in the electrode power supply body according to the present invention, the film does not allow the electrode solution to permeate, and thus the generation of the electrode solution is insufficient. There is no decrease in current efficiency due to decomposition of hydrogen oxide, deterioration of the electrode and the accompanying contamination of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution. Pollution can be effectively prevented. Further, by using the electrode power supply of the present invention, it is possible to easily cope with an increase in the size of the electrolytic cell, and to configure an electrolytic cell suitable for producing a large amount of hydrogen peroxide.
