Definitions

  • Novel concept for energy generation via an inorganic nitrogen cycle starting from the basic material sand and producing higher silanes
  • Silicon is located directly below carbon in the periodic table of chemical elements and therefore resembles it.
  • the hydrogen compounds of silicon have some differences from the hydrocarbons.
  • Friedrich Wöhler discovered the silicon homolog of methane C___ 4 , the monosilane SiELt, around the turn of the century.
  • Prof. Alfred Stock, Düsseldorf could represent the longer-chain homologues of the hydrocarbons ethane, propane and butane, i.e. disilane Si 2 H 6 , trisilane Si 3 H 8 , and tetrasilane n-SLjHin, all in air are self-igniting.
  • Silanes can be used as energy-generating fuels (German Patent 42 15 835 (1994); US Patent 5,775,096 (1998)).
  • silicon In contrast to carbon, silicon has the property of forming an extremely stable nitride compound, the industrially known silicon (tetra) nitride Si 3 N:
  • the atmospheric nitrogen can also be used in the combustion of silanes!
  • the aim of burning silicon hydrates is to burn the hydrogen content in a combustion chamber stoichiometrically with atmospheric oxygen (as with hydrocarbons), but at the same time to convert the nitrogen content of the air with silicon.
  • silicon powder dispersed in the silane gasoline could be added (German Patent 196 12 507 (1997); US Patent 5,996,332 (1999)).
  • the silane / silicon mixture remains pumpable.
  • the object of the present invention is to describe a newly discovered chemical, inorganic cycle in which silicon dioxide, the main constituent of the earth's crust, is first converted into pure silicon with the aid of sunlight. Higher silanes obtained therefrom are then burned with atmospheric nitrogen, producing silicon nitride Si 3 N. This Si 3 N 4 is converted basicly into ammonia NH 3 . This also produces silicates, which, however, do not have to be fed back into the cycle since SiO 2 is available free of charge. When NH 3 is burned, N 2 is again generated with energy generation, so that the nitrogen cycle is closed.
  • the present invention describes the idea of combining the individual known steps into a cyclic system that resembles the natural carbon cycle.
  • the conventional carbon cycle consists of the dualism or symbiosis of the organisms of plants on the one hand and living things on the other: With the help of sunlight, CO 2 is assimilated in plants by photosynthesis and O 2 is generated. The hydrocarbon products produced in the plants serve as food for animals and humans. The oxygen generated by the plants is breathed in by animals and humans, producing energy. This creates CO 2 , which the plants need to survive.
  • the resulting pure CO 2 can be used to produce the basic organic chemical methanol so that it does not get into the atmosphere.
  • Methanol is a refined form of coal.
  • the hydrogen required to refine CO 2 to methanol CH 3 OH according to the formula CO 2 + 3 H 2 ⁇ CH 3 OH + H 2 O is generated by electrolysis, and the electricity required for this is also generated comes from the solar cells.
  • the modified Muller-Rochow synthesis with silyl chlorides is used to produce higher silanes from the silicon.
  • industrial wastes from silicone chemistry such as methylchlorodisilanes, which are otherwise expensive to dispose of, should ideally be used as silyl chlorides.
  • the silyl chlorides are obtained by chlorination of mono- and disilane formed in large quantities in the acidic decomposition of magnesium silicide.
  • the higher silanes are burned with the addition of dispersed silicon powder with atmospheric air (20% O 2 ; 80% N 2 ) to water H 2 O and silicon nitride Si 3 N 4 .
  • This silicon nitride Si 3 N 4 which is also required in industry, is a gray-white, completely non-toxic dust that only melts at temperatures around 1900 ° C with decomposition.
  • Si 3 N can be dissolved in bases and converted into ammonia NH 3 .
  • the resulting silicates are harmless, but do not have to be recycled because sand SiO 2 is available in abundance. Parts of the ammonia can be used to make artificial fertilizers.
  • the silicon-nitrogen cycle described represents a completely new energy concept. This cycle is the artificial counterpart to the natural carbon-oxygen cycle. With the introduction of silicon rectifiers, transistors, diodes, memory chips etc. in physics and with silicone oils and plastics in chemistry, the age of silicon has heralded itself, with the cycle presented it finally prevails. It must be emphasized that the energy released by the cycle described ultimately comes from sunlight, just like in photosynthesis.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un nouveau concept énergétique, selon lequel le complément du cycle naturel carbone-oxygène est réalisé sous la forme d'un cycle artificiel silicium-azote. D'abord, du silicium pur est fabriqué à partir de sable au moyen de l'énergie solaire. A partir de ce silicium, on produit des silanes à valence plus élevée, en répétant la synthèse selon Müller-Rochow modifiée avec des chlorures de silyle, qui soit sont des déchets de la chimie du silicone, soit sont produits à faibles coûts à partir de monosilane ou de disilane. Les silanes ainsi obtenus sont alors mélangés à de la poudre de silicium, puis brûlés au contact de l'air en H2O et en nitrure de silicium Si3N4, produisant ainsi de l'énergie. Le nitrure de silicium est transformé de manière basique en ammoniac NH3, avec formation de silicates. Ensuite, NH3 est partiellement transformé en produits de réaction, mais il est en grande partie brûlé au contact de l'air en H2O et en N2, produisant ainsi encore de l'énergie. Le cycle N2 est ainsi bouclé.
