Description
SPÔSOB ELEKTROCHEMICKEJ REDUKCIE DUSIČNANOVMETHOD OF ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF NITRATES
Oblasť technikyTechnical field
Vynález sa týka spôsobu katalytickej elektrochemickej redukcie dusičnanov, predovšetkým na elementárny dusík vo vodnom roztoku na katóde.The invention relates to a method of catalytic electrochemical reduction of nitrates, in particular to elemental nitrogen in an aqueous solution on the cathode.
Doterajší stav technikyBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Vodné roztoky obsahujúce dusičitany sú napríklad regeneráty z iónovej výmeny, ktoré sa používajú na elimináciu dusičnanov z pitnej vody, alebo odpadové roztoky z priemyslu.Aqueous solutions containing nitrates are, for example, ion exchange regenerates, which are used to eliminate nitrates from drinking water, or waste solutions from industry.
Bežná až doteraz známa enzymatická biologická denitrifikácia pracuje často nespoľahlivo, hlavne pri vyšších koncentráciách solí. Tak až doteraz napríklad nebolo možné regeneráty z iónovej výmeny obsahujúcej dusičnany spracovať tak, aby sa mohol uskutočniť obeh regeneračného prostriedku.Conventional enzymatic biological denitrification, known hitherto, often works unreliable, especially at higher salt concentrations. So far, for example, it has not been possible to process nitrate-containing ion exchange regenerates so that the regeneration medium can be circulated.
Podstata vynálezuSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Cieľom vynálezu je denitrifikácia koncentrovaných vodných roztokov solí katalytickou, katódovou redukciou dusičnanov.It is an object of the invention to denitrify concentrated aqueous salt solutions by catalytic, cathodic reduction of nitrates.
Podstata vynálezu spočíva vo vytvorení kombinácie elektrolýzy so spôsobmi zvýšenia koncentrácie ako je iónová výmena, reverzná osmóza, elektrodialýza, predpoklady na vytvorenie postupových kombinácií prínosných eliminácií dusičnanov z vody a vodných roztokov kvôli ochrane životného prostredia.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a combination of electrolysis with concentration-increasing methods such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, the prerequisites for creating process combinations of beneficial nitrate elimination from water and aqueous solutions for environmental protection.
Táto úloha sa vyrieši poznatkami podľa patentových nárokov, a to tým, že sa vodný roztok obsahujúci dusičnany uloží do katódového priestoru elektrolyzéra a zavedie sa vhodné elektrické napätie.This object is solved by the teachings of the claims by placing an aqueous solution containing nitrates in the cathode space of the electrolyzer and introducing a suitable electrical voltage.
V elektrolyzéri sú katódový a anódový priestor navzájom oddelené katexovou membránou, katóda je dotovaná katalyzátorom a v priestore anódy sa nachádza ďalší vodný roztok, napríklad kyseliny sírovej, ktorá cirkuluje.In the electrolyser, the cathode and anode compartments are separated from each other by a cation exchange membrane, the cathode is doped with a catalyst, and in the anode compartment there is another aqueous solution, such as sulfuric acid, that circulates.
Na katóde nastáva chemická redukcia dusičnanov podlá prvej z uvedených rovníc, pričom naAt the cathode there is a chemical reduction of nitrates according to the first of the above equations, whereby at
eden mól dusičnanu sa spotrebuje molov protónov.one mole of nitrate consumes moles of protons.
NO^ + 6H+ + 5e <--> 0,5 N2 + 3H2ONO 2 + 6H + + 5e <--> 0.5 N 2 + 3H 2 O
2,5H2O - 5e <----> 1,25 O2 + 5H+ 2.5H 2 O - 5e <----> 1.25 O 2 + 5H +
Na anóde prebieha podlá druhej rovnice rozpad vody za vzniku 5 molov protónov, ktoré prechádzajú z anódového priestoru katexovou membránou do katódového priestoru. S rozpadom vody je spojené zvýšenie koncentrácie roztoku v anódovom priestore, takže sa musí doplniť voda. Deficit minimálne 1 mólu protónov na jeden mól dusičnanov zostávajúci v katódovom priestore sa musí vyrovnať prídavkom kyseliny, napríklad kyseliny chlorovodíkovej do i spracovávaného roztoku obsahujúceho dusičnany.At the anode, according to the second equation, water breaks down to form 5 moles of protons that pass from the anode space through the cation exchange membrane to the cathode space. Water decay is associated with increasing the concentration of the solution in the anode compartment, so water must be added. A deficiency of at least 1 mole of protons per mole of nitrates remaining in the cathode compartment must be compensated by the addition of an acid, for example hydrochloric acid, to the nitrate-treated solution.
S ohľadom na skutočnosť, že elektrochemická redukcia dusičnanov je kinetický silne brzdená a môžu ju rušiť vedľajšie reakcie sprevádzajúce celý proces, napríklad vznik amónia, hrá okrem zloženia roztoku obsahujúceho dusičnany a potenciálu, významnú úlohu hlavne spojenie katóda/katalyzátor, pričom ako nosič pre katalyzátor slúži elektróda.Due to the fact that the electrochemical reduction of nitrates is strongly kinetic and can be disturbed by side reactions accompanying the whole process, such as the formation of ammonium, in addition to the composition of the nitrate-containing solution and potential, electrode.
Podľa vynálezu umožňuje katalytickú katódovú redukciu dusičnanov podľa prvej vyššie uvedenej rovnice elektróda napríklad z častíc aktívneho uhlia dotovaná rôznymi ťažkými kovmi napríklad medi s paládiom. Variáciou nosného materiálu a tiež obsahom ťažkých kovov v nosnom materiáli sa môže dosiahnuť ovplyvnenie kinetiky redukcie dusičnanov, a tým vznik vedľajších produktov.According to the invention, the catalytic cathode reduction of nitrates according to the above-mentioned equation allows an electrode of, for example, activated carbon particles doped with various heavy metals, for example copper with palladium. By varying the carrier material and also the heavy metal content of the carrier material, it is possible to influence the nitrate reduction kinetics and thereby the formation of by-products.

V nasledujúcom je bližšie popísaný príklad vyhotovenia postupu podlá vynálezu.The following is an example of an embodiment of the process according to the invention.
V elektrolyzéri, v ktorom sú oddelené katódový a anódový priestor katexovou membránou, je v katódovom priestore roztok dusičnanu, asi 10 g dusičnanu vil roztoku a v anódovom priestore je cca 5 % kyselina sírová. Ako katóda slúži elektróda z častíc aktívneho uhlia dotovaná meďou s paládiom, pričom podiel medi je menší ako 10 % a podiel paládia je menší ako 1 %. Pri potenciáli 1 000 až 1 400 mV sa cca 90 % dusičnanu prevedie na dusík. Hodnota pH sa udržiava prídavkom kyseliny chlorovodíkovej v katódovom priestore konštantná. Plná redukcia dusičnanu nie je žiaduca, pretože roztok spracovávaný v katódovom priestore slúži ako regeneračné činidlo pre menič aniónov znečistený dusičnanom.In an electrolyzer in which the cathode and anode compartments are separated by a cation exchange membrane, there is a nitrate solution in the cathode compartment, about 10 g of a nitrate vial of solution and about 5% sulfuric acid in the anode compartment. The electrode made of activated carbon particles doped with copper with palladium serves as a cathode, the copper content being less than 10% and the palladium content being less than 1%. At a potential of 1,000 to 1,400 mV, about 90% of the nitrate is converted to nitrogen. The pH is kept constant by the addition of hydrochloric acid in the cathode space. Full reduction of nitrate is not desirable because the solution treated in the cathode space serves as a regenerating agent for the anion exchanger contaminated with nitrate.
