Description

一种矿化CO2制取碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠对外输出电能的方法及设备 技术领域
本发明涉及CO2利用减排技术领域,特别涉及一种在利用CO2制取碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠的同时对外提供电能的方法和设备。
技术背景
自工业革命以来,人类活动排放的以CO2为主的温室气体已成为影响全球气候变化的主要因素。预计到2015年之前二氧化碳排放量的年均增长率为5.4%,2015年到2030年期间为3.3%,2030年中国的排放量将达到114亿吨,减少CO2排放已成为全球的共识。但据估计2005年到2030年间,煤、石油、天然气等化石燃料仍将是一次能源的主要来源,并在能源需求增长总量中占到84%,乐观估计到2035年全球CO2排放量也将达到354亿吨,化石燃料消耗产生的CO2将持续增长。
到目前为止,人们普遍认为煤、石油等化石燃料转变为CO2便是能量释放的终点,同时普遍认为处理CO2是一个耗能的化学过程,因此,许多关于CO2矿化的研究都致力于降低反应能耗,提高产物的附加值来实现矿化CO2的经济可行性。然而几乎所有研究者都忽略了理论上从CO2转变为更稳定的碳酸盐,其过程的△G<0,这意味着矿化过程是可以自发进行并有能量释放的。如果能够获取CO2矿化过程中所释放的化学能,便有可能实现一种能量输出而不是能量消耗的CO2减排利用方法。通常情况下,矿化反应是放热反应,之前已经有研究提出我们可以回收这部分反应热,但是由于热能回收的效率问题,该方法的实施有待商榷。
发明内容
针对上述问题,本发明提供了一种全新的CO2利用方法:矿化CO2制取碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠对外输出电能的方法,以期实现在矿化利用CO2的过程中,不仅不需外加能量反而对外输出电能,同时解决现有纯碱制取方法存在的高能耗、工艺过程复杂、环境污染大、效率低等诸多问题。我们设计了一套CO2矿化燃料电池(CMFC),通过重置电解过程来实现CO2的有效利用。氢氧化钙Ca(OH)2是一种重要的碱性工业废料,常存在于电石渣、钢渣、纸浆废料、水泥窑灰和粉煤灰中。在现有CO2矿化利用的研究中,氢氧化钙被直接拿来与CO2反应生成碳酸钙。碳酸钙是一种重要的工业原料,但其在自然界中的储量已经过剩。然而碳酸氢钠(NaHCO3)——生产碳酸钠、碳酸氢钠、碳酸镁等产品的重要原料,在工业上严重短缺。因此,我们将NaCl引入反应体系中以期能够生成碳酸氢钠来取代碳酸钙。最终,以CO2矿化反应为原型我 们实现了反应(1):
2CO2+Ca(OH)2+2NaCl→2NaHCO3+CaCl2。。。。。。ΔGf 0=-62.75kJ/mol   (式1)
反应(1)的吉布斯自由能是-62.75KJ/mol,但是这部分能量不能够直接转化为电能,另外,如果将上述反应物简单地混合只会直接生成碳酸钙。因此,我们基于膜电解技术设计了一个CO2矿化燃料电池。

本发明提出的矿化CO2制取碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠对外输出电能的方法,是基于发明人对电化学过程深刻理解和研究所完成的。在电化学过程中,众多因素均会引起电势差,如阴阳极之间溶液的浓度差所形成的浓差电势;阴阳极之间离子扩散所形成的扩散电势;由阴极和阳极分别发生的氧化反应和还原反应所产生的反应电势,或由阴阳极之间溶液的酸碱性之差引起的电势。根据理论公式ΔE=-0.059(pH-pH),也就是说只要pH>pH,导通电路后,便能实现对外产电。本发明主要是利用阴阳极之间发生的反应所产生的电势和ΔpH所产生的电势实现对外产电。具体产电的过程是:利用阳极区发生的酸碱中和反应和阴极区发生的CO2反应为碳酸盐所释放的能量,以H2作为媒介,实现将反应释放的能量转变为电能,同时由于阳极区加入的碱性物料和在阴极区不断通入CO2后形成的碳酸盐之间具有较大的pH之差,也可以转变为CO2发电装置的电势,一旦接入电流负载后,便能实现阴、阳极反应实现 产生碳酸氢钠的同时对外发电。
本发明提出的矿化CO2制取碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠对外输出电能的方法,将膜电解技术运用到CO2矿化领域,首次实现CO2矿化反应不需要外加能量而对外输出电功,同时利用膜具有的分离效果实现矿化产物的隔离从而得到碳酸氢钠,所得到的碳酸氢钠经加热分解后制取高纯碳酸钠,无论在基本方法原理上还是在具体工艺方法上都是全新的。在常温条件下,反应自发进行的同时每个反应单元能对外提供大约0.1-0.4V的电压,也就是说多个串联的CO2发电设备可对外做功,同时还能产出大量的高纯碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠,该方法具有巨大的应用前景。
本发明所提出的矿化CO2制取碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠对外输出电能的方法,其在将CO2矿化为高附加值的碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠的同时,将矿化反应所释放的能量转变为电能,不仅解决了碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠制备过程存在的能耗高、废液排放量大、原料利用率低等问题,还实现了整体过程对外发电,突破了人们对碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠制备过程必然存在能量消耗的固有观念,而且真正意义上实现了末端CO2减排的零能耗。

实施例4
如图2所示,一种CO2矿化燃料电池,包括依次设置的阳极集流层、阳极气室板框、氢气扩散电极、阳极液体室板框、阴离子交换膜、中间室板框、阳离子交换膜、阴极室板框、阴极电极和阴极集流层,阳极集流层和阴极集流层通过电路连接,所述阳极气室板框上设置有原料氢气进出口,所述阴极室板框上设置有载气入口(也可封闭该入口)和产品氢气出口,所述阳极液体室板框、中间室板框和阴极室板框上分别设置有相应电解液的进出口;所述阴极室板框上电解液的入口与阴极缓冲罐相连,所述阴极室板框上电解液的出口也与阴极缓冲罐相连形成循环回路,使反应后的电解液回到阴极缓冲罐中循环使用,同时在阴极缓冲罐上设置CO2气体入口,并在所述阴极缓冲罐中或其出料口处设置固液分离装置;所述中间室板框上的电解液入口与中间缓冲罐相连,通过缓冲罐向中间区供给电解液,所述中间室板框上的电解液出口与中间缓冲罐相连,使反应后的电解液回到中间缓冲罐中循环使用,同时所述中间缓冲罐上设置有钠盐给料口;所述阳极液体室板框上的电解液入口与阳极缓冲罐相连,通过缓冲罐向阳极区供给电解液,所述阳极液体室板框上的电解液出口可与浓缩分离装置相连,三个液体腔室(阳极液体室、中间室和阴极室)中的电解液分别通过蠕动泵的驱动来实现流动或循环。
三个液体腔室的内容积为15ml,阴离子交换膜(AEM)放置在中间室和阳极室之间(面积S=4cm2)。阴离子交换膜CEM(S=4cm2)放置在中间室和阴极室之间。阳极电极为气体扩散电极(S=3.24cm2),阴极为以Pt/C为催化剂的电极(S=3.24cm2)。装置的阳极侧接有一个H2钢瓶来向气体扩散电极提供氢源,氢气从阳极的进气口进,出气口出。装置的阴极进气口接有一个N2钢瓶,实验中向载气入口以10ml/min的流量通入N2,将阴极生成的H2从产品氢气出口吹扫出来(吹扫步骤是为了更准确的检测氢气的生产量,实际应用中可省略氮气吹扫和相应的装置)。阴极侧的外部缓冲罐接有一个CO2钢瓶。阴阳两极均使用不锈钢网做集流层。
电极的制备
气体扩散电极实际上有三层结构:集流层、碳布和催化层。具有填平层的碳布上负载 1mg/cm2的Pt催化剂(上海河森电气有限公司)。随后,将碳布与集流层的钛网叠放在一起在5MP、25℃的条件下压制10min,从而制得气体扩散电极。在具有相同表面积的泡沫镍上担载和阳极同样负载量(1mg/cm2)的Pt/C催化剂,在60℃下干燥2h,最后在3MP的压力下压制10min即制得阴极电极。作为可选,所述阴阳极电极均使用喷涂悬浮液的方式负载Pt/C催化剂,所述Pt/C催化剂悬浮液的制备方法如下:首先取0.1g Pt/C(40%Pt)催化剂置于烧杯;随后向其中加入1ml蒸馏水、4ml无水乙醇和4.5g的全氟磺酸溶液,其中乙醇和全氟磺酸分别起分散和粘合的作用;将上述混合物超声后得到黑色的悬浮液即可用于喷涂。
作为可选,制备阴极电极分为以下几个步骤:首先取0.1g Pt/C(40%Pt)催化剂置于烧杯;随后向其中加入1ml蒸馏水、4ml无水乙醇和4.5g的Nafion溶液,其中乙醇和Nafion分别起分散和粘合的作用;将上述混合物超声后得到黑色的悬浮液喷涂到80℃的碳纸上,使碳纸上Pt/C的负载量为1mg/cm2。在60℃下干燥2h,最后在3MP的压力下压制10min即可。
使用时,首先,在每个缓冲罐中加入50ml 1mol/L的NaCl溶液,并用蠕动泵以15ml/min的泵速来抵消离子浓度差异引起的膜电位。反应正式开始前,在系统两极施加5min的3V的电压来彻底消耗掉电极表面附着的O2。这一操作完成后,将100mg Ca(OH)2加到阳极缓冲罐制成溶液(图2部件I)。用质量流量计控制H2气速为10ml/min,通入气体扩散电极进气口(图2部件b)。阴极缓冲罐通入CO2的速率控制在10~20ml/min。整个实验过程中外循环和反应室之间的液体流量控制在15ml/min,以确保整个系统的稳定。在系统的阴极和阳极之间接入电子负载(ItechIT8511)。反应开始后,立刻能够检测到电流的产生,通过调整负载大小可以控制输出电压和输出功率密度的大小。
实验开始后,将100mg分析纯的氢氧化钙加入到CMFC系统的阳极侧,中间室加入饱和的NaCl溶液,阴极侧加入1mol/L的NaCl溶液。随后将纯度为99.99%CO2(20ml/min)通入阴极液,此时立刻有电流产生,并且随着CO2的持续注入系统产生的电压和功率密度达到稳定。体系中阳极的代表反应是Ca(OH)2+H2+2Cl-→CaCl2+2H2O+2e-,阴极通过反应2CO2+2H2O+2e-+2Na+→2NaHCO3+H2生成NaHCO3
在电流密度2.5A/m2下每隔30分钟定量取样测定阴极侧HCO3 -浓度变化。HCO3 -浓度的线性增加,表明在阴极液中不断生成碳酸氢钠。计算得到生成NaHCO3的平均电流效率(电子进入所述的NaHCO3产物的百分数)为91.4%。运用离子色谱法测定了氯离子在阳极侧的浓度变化,从而测定了在阳极侧产生的CaCl2的量。氯离子含量的线性增长符合预期,在120min内生成CaCl2的平均电流效率经计算为93.4%。
在产电过程中,用气相色谱来测定CMFC系统中阳极气室板框进口气体与出口气体的组成。实验中已经检测到阳极消耗氢气,阴极产生氢气。整个过程中H2的作用在于加快电子的传输速率,因此,反应式1不应该存在H2净的化学计量生成和消耗。通过气相色谱计量生成和消耗的H2所占的比率,我们发现阳极H2消耗的比例与阴极H2生成的比例很接近,这也从实验上证明了两极生成和消耗的量是相等的。
实验中通过酸碱中和滴定的方法测定溶液中NaHCO3的溶度:每隔半小时从阴极取样0.5ml转入锥形瓶,滴加3滴甲基红-溴甲酚绿指示剂并加入适量的蒸馏水,溶液呈亮绿色,然后用浓度0.0011mol/L的HCl滴定上述溶液至暗红色。实验中为了避免Na2CO3的影响,在对照组加入酚酞指示剂。根据反应前后溶液中HCO3 -的浓度差(Δc)和电解液的体积(V)来计算生成的NaHCO3的量m:m=Δc×V。在阳极侧,通过测定溶液中Cl-的浓度(C1)和Na+的浓度(C2)来计算溶液中CaCl2的浓度:C=(C1-C2)/2。其中Na+的含量通过原子吸收光谱测定,Cl-的含量通过离子色谱测定。根据实验结果可知,阳极生成CaCl2,阴极生成NaHCO3。在阴极侧,CO2通入溶液后形成H2CO3,生成的H2CO3很快分解为H+和HCO3 -,溶液中H+得到电子从而生成H2,而HCO3 -留在溶液中。在阳极侧,H2失去两个电子变成H+,H+溶解Ca(OH)2生成H2O和Ca2+。在内部电场作用下,中间盐溶液槽向两极提供Na+和Cl-。系统中AEM和CEM通过选择性的使Na+进入阳极、阴离子进入阴极,从而避免了生成的CaCl2与NaHCO3的混合。通过对样品进行XRD和TGA分析发现,产品NaHCO3的纯度达到99.4%。
实施例5
CO2对体系的影响
采用与实施例4相同的设备和操作步骤进行试验。唯一不同的是当产电过程达到稳定的时候,用10ml/min的N2代替CO2通入阴极反应缓冲罐。随后,输出电压和输出功率密度逐渐降低并最终降为0,此时,重新把CO2代替N2通入阴极缓冲罐,系统马上再次产生电压和电流。在整个过程中,每隔60s记录一次输出电压和功率,同时测定记录阴极侧的pH值变化。结果表明,当系统通入CO2后,生成的H2CO3导致阴极pH降低,此时伴随着电能的产生。一旦用N2代替CO2,溶液中的H+将不足以捕捉阳极产生的电子。在这种情况下,H2O将扮演电子的受体,生成H2的同时产生OH-。这将导致pH的升高,产电过程也将逐渐停止。
Ca(OH)2对体系的影响
采用与实施例4相同的设备和操作步骤进行试验。唯一不同的是在反应的初始阶段在阳极加入1ml饱和的Ca(OH)2溶液。随着产电过程的进行,阳极的Ca(OH)2逐渐被消耗,输出 电压和功率密度逐渐降低并最终变为0。随后,再次向阳极加入1ml饱和的Ca(OH)2溶液,系统再次对外输出电能。
向阳极加入1ml的饱和Ca(OH)2溶液,阳极pH立刻升高并产生电能。随着反应的进行,溶液中的Ca(OH)2逐渐被消耗,pH降低并且输出能量减少为零。当新的1ml的饱和Ca(OH)2溶液加入后,溶液的pH升高并再次对外输出能量。
根据上述实验结果,我们可以得出结论:CO2和CaCl2在体系中起的作用是在阴阳两极构建一个pH差。当阳极有H2通入的时候,这个pH差就会转化为氧化反应对H+/H2在两极的电位差,当外部导通的时候,体系就会向外输出电流。在这个过程中,CO2向阴极提供H+,Ca(OH)2向阳极提供OH-,根据能斯特方程,理论电池电压可以按照方程(式2)计算:
Ecell=0.0591(pHanode-pHcathode)   (式2)
为了更进一步地证实这个理论,我们绘制了电池电压和两极pH差之间的关系曲线,结果显示,增大两极的pH差将增大开路电压,这和方程(式2)结果是一致的。
在产电过程中,阴极槽生成的NaHCO3的水解将影响溶液的pH。为了测试这种影响,实验中在阴极加入不同的电解质(以NaCl代替NaHCO3)。结果显示,CMFC体系下1mol/L的NaCl的产电效果要好于饱和的NaHCO3溶液。这是因为前者在体系下产生的pH差大于后者,从而导致了前者有更高的输出电压和能量。实验中达到的最大输出能量为5.5W/m2,最大开路电压OCV为0.452V。
实施例6
采用实施例4所述的装置,实验中阳极加入Ca(OH)2,中间极加入饱和的NaCl溶液,阴极加入饱和的NaHCO3溶液,反应开始阶段先不通入CO2,阴极没有了CO2的通入,在能量密度为30.86A/m2的条件下,溶液中残存的HCO3 -会为反应提供H+并变成CO3 2-。但是随着反应的进行,输出能量密度会逐渐由3.55W/m2降到2.96W/m2;此时,向阴极缓冲罐中通入过量的CO2,这个过程中,CO3 2-将转化为HCO3 -,当碳酸氢钠在溶液中的溶解度达到最大值后将析出晶体,经过固液分离,固相可用于制备碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠,液相返回CMFC电池系统,输出能量立刻回升至3.55W/m2,如此循环,可持续产出电能和碳酸氢钠或碳酸钠。
实施例7 其他碱性原料的矿化产电性能
概念验证阶段,我们在试验中利用的是分析纯的Ca(OH)2。为了检验这个系统能否有效的利用含有Ca(OH)2的工业固废,实验中将从化工厂得到的电石渣和水泥窑灰作为碱源加入阳极区。实验中,阳极区和阴极区各加入50ml 1mol/L的NaCl溶液,中间室加入50ml的饱 和NaCl溶液。在产电操作中,按间隔1mA的梯度将电流值从0调到25mA,并在每个电流值下保持120min。整个过程中,体系的温度维持在25℃。结果表明,两种废渣都能用于产电,其中电石渣的反应活性与分析纯的Ca(OH)2非常接近。
在采用不同的胺类作为碱源的实验中按照上面描述的相同流程进行相关实验。结果表明:10%的氨水、MEA和TEA三种不同种类的胺在相同的反应条件下能产出的功率密度分别为3.71、2.81和1.02W/m2
实施例8 CMFC体系的稳定性
研究中考察了CMFC体系的稳定性。具体实验时在系统的阴极和阳极各加入300ml1mol/L的NaCl溶液,中间室加入300ml饱和的NaCl溶液。实验开始后在阳极添加适量的电石渣,并将一定流量的CO2通入阴极电解液。固定电流密度为30.86A/m2,系统连续运行17h以上,在此期间,每隔2min测定一次输出功率。结果显示,系统具有良好的稳定性。
实施例9 CO2浓度对产电效果的影响
火电厂排放的烟道气中CO2的浓度一般较低(通常<20%),为了研究CMFC系统直接处理工业烟道气的可能性,采用混合的N2/CO2来考察CO2浓度对产电过程的影响。在阳极区和阴极区各加入50ml 1mol/L的NaCl溶液,中间室加入50ml饱和的NaCl溶液,实验中向阴极电解质通入不同浓度(10%、20%、50%、100%)的CO2混合气体,气速为100ml/min。其中CO2的浓度通过调整N2和CO2的流速来控制。相关的产电过程所用设备和操作方法参见实施例4。实验结果表明CO2含量低至10%时,仍然可以产电。CO2浓度越高,输出的功率密度越高。这是由于不同浓度的CO2导致阴极侧具有不同的pH值。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例,对本发明而言仅是说明性的,而非限制性的;本领域普通技术人员理解,在本发明权利要求所限定的精神和范围内可对其进行许多改变,修改,甚至等效变更,但都将落入本发明的保护范围。
