Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gasket for an electrolytic cell and an electrolytic cell using the gasket.
- a diaphragm is provided between the anode and the cathode as an electrolytic tank used for alkaline water electrolysis, pure water electrolysis, non-purified water electrolysis, salt electrolysis, chloride aqueous solution electrolysis, bromide aqueous solution electrolysis, hydrochloric acid aqueous solution electrolysis, sulfuric acid aqueous solution electrolysis, etc. ,
- An electrolytic tank in which the anode and the cathode are separated by the diaphragm is often used.
- the electrolytic solution supplied into the electrolytic cell, the electrolyzed gas such as hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, chlorine gas, and halogen gas generated by the electrolysis, and the electrolytic cell in the electrolytic cell are the edges of the diaphragm. Must not leak to the outside of the electrolytic cell. If the electrolysis generated gas or electrolyte leaks, the plant cannot be operated continuously, which may cause problems for the operation manager and the environment.
- two thin plate-shaped gaskets or two thin plate-shaped gaskets are used between the anode and the cathode.
- Four or two ⁇ -rings are arranged, and these sealing members prevent leakage of electrolysis-generated gas, electrolytic solution, etc., and sandwich the diaphragm.
- the diaphragm is sandwiched between the two ⁇ -rings 5 on the electrolytic cell side, and the outer periphery of the electrolytic cell is sandwiched.
- the two ⁇ -rings 5 on the side prevent the electrolytic solution from leaking to the outside of the electrolytic cell.
- the ion exchange membrane is like a film, and unlike the diaphragm, there is no leakage due to liquid seepage, so it is sealed with only two ⁇ -rings. ing.
- Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describing a conventional method of using a thin plate-shaped gasket for a sealing member in an electrolytic cell as described above disclose the structure shown in FIG. 7 (A).
- the anode-side gasket 7 is provided on the anode-side metal frame 2 to which the anode 1 is mounted
- the cathode-side gasket 8 is provided on the cathode-side metal frame 4 to which the cathode 3 is mounted
- the pair (two) gaskets are provided.
- the anode 6 is sandwiched between the 7 and 8.
- the diaphragm 6 when the diaphragm 6 is sandwiched by the structure using the ⁇ -ring 5 or the structure using the two gaskets 7 and 8, the diaphragm 6 is particularly configured.
- the diaphragm 6 was a porous membrane, it was found that there were the following defects.
- the diaphragm 6 is held by using a plurality of sealing members and sandwiching the edge of the diaphragm 6 between these members, and at the same time, the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic cell. And the leakage of electrolysis generated gas is prevented, and the airtightness inside the electrolytic cell is maintained.
- sealing members such as gaskets and ⁇ -rings are required.
- the number of sealing members increases.
- problems such as protrusion caused by the displacement of the gasket and liquid leakage due to the protrusion were not eliminated.
- the diaphragm is sandwiched between two gaskets as shown in FIG. 7A, it takes time and effort to fit the diaphragm in the gasket when assembling a large electrolytic cell. Further, the diaphragm can be held in a state of being pulled out from between the two gaskets to the outside of the electrolytic cell.
- Patent Document 3 As another conventional method using a gasket in the above-mentioned electrolytic cell, there is the following structure disclosed in Patent Document 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a structure composed of a single gasket 9 is known.
- the gasket 9 has a first surface 10 in contact with the anode-side metal frame 2 and a second surface 11 in contact with the cathode-side metal frame 4, and has an annular shape and opens toward the inside of the electrolytic cell.
- a slit portion 12 is provided. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the filling portion 13 is formed from the upper end to the intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the gasket 9, the slit forming portion 14 is below the filling portion 13, and the central portion of the slit forming portion 14.
- a slit portion 12 having a structure extending substantially parallel to the first surface 10 and the second surface 11 of the gasket 9 and opening toward the inside of the electrode tank. Then, in this example, the edge portion of the diaphragm 6 is housed in the slit portion 12, and the diaphragm 6 is held by the gasket 9 having the above structure.
- the gasket 9 having the above structure since it is composed of one member, for example, the electrolytic solution from the edge of the gasket generated when the diaphragm is sandwiched between a plurality of gaskets as shown in FIG. 7 (B). Alternatively, there is no risk of leakage of the electrolytically generated gas. Therefore, when the gasket having the structure shown in FIG. 8 is used, the leakage rate of the electrolytic solution or the electrolytically generated gas can be reduced as compared with the case where the gasket having the structure shown in FIG. 7A is used.
- Patent Document 3 describes that the structure is as follows in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
- a partition portion that divides the first portion of the gasket continuously from the surface that defines the slit portion on the first surface and the first portion, or a surface that defines the slit portion on the second surface and the second portion.
- a structure including a dividing portion that continuously divides the second portion is disclosed. Then, when the diaphragm is accommodated in the slit portion by this divided portion, the first portion or the second portion is turned up and the diaphragm is accommodated in the slit portion.
- the means for improving the workability of attaching the diaphragm to the gasket increases the manufacturing difficulty, makes the work more complicated, and further, the manufacturing cost of the gasket. Will be higher. Further, in the above configuration, when the difference between the thickness of the diaphragm and the slit portion is small, it is extremely difficult to firmly hold the diaphragm to the depth of the slit portion of the gasket.
- the gasket having the structure described in Patent Document 2 mentioned above does not have the above-mentioned problems, according to the examination by the present inventors, there are other serious technical problems as described below.
- the diaphragm is arranged at the center of the interval formed by the anode and the cathode facing each other when attached to the gasket. To. In this way, when the diaphragm is held by using the above-mentioned gasket, the diaphragm is structurally in a state where it is not in contact with either the anode or the cathode.
- the thin sheet-shaped diaphragm is difficult to be firmly fixed and is bent to the left and right in an unstable state, and the diaphragm constantly causes a contact rubbing phenomenon with the anode and the cathode to prevent premature breakage of the diaphragm.
- the diaphragm constantly causes a contact rubbing phenomenon with the anode and the cathode to prevent premature breakage of the diaphragm.
- JP-A-2002-332586 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-6767 International Publication No. 2014/178317
- An object of the present invention is a gasket for an electrolytic cell having a simple structure and easy to manufacture.
- a diaphragm can be easily attached by an extremely easy operation (operation), and an electrolytic operation can be performed. Since the diaphragm is not bent inside and the diaphragm can be held stably, the durability of the diaphragm during electrolysis operation is excellent, and the basic function of the gasket is the electrolytic solution and electrolysis generated gas from the electrolytic cell. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrolytic cell gasket having high practical value and an electrolytic cell using the same, which can effectively prevent leakage.
- the present invention provides the following gasket for an electrolytic cell as a first solution.
- a gasket for an electrolytic cell for holding the diaphragm which is incorporated in an electrolytic cell composed of a sheet-shaped diaphragm that separates the anode and the cathode, and the anode and the cathode.

〔第1実施形態〕
図2は、電解槽としてアルカリ水電解槽24に用いた、本発明の電解装用ガスケットの第1実施態様を説明するための、模式的な断面図である。アルカリ水電解槽24を用いて行うアルカリ水電解では、25質量%~35質量%のKOH水溶液又はNaOH水溶液が電解液として用いられる。この電解液が、陽極室15及び陰極室16に供給されて電解が行われると、陽極室15より電解液及び酸素ガスを系外に排出し、陰極室16より電解液及び水素ガスを系外に排出する。排出された電解液は、系外において混合されて、陽極室15及び陰極室16に循環して、連続電解が行われる。
第1の実施態様においては、陽極側金属枠体2に接するガスケット17の第一面18の切欠き形成部27に切欠き部20を設けた例について説明した。第2実施形態では、これとは逆側の、陰極側金属枠体4に接するガスケット17の第二面19に、切欠き形成部27を設けて、切欠き部20を形成した(不図示)。この例では、ガスケット17の第二面19の中央より上方の充填部26を、陰極側金属枠体4に面接触させ、一方、ガスケット17の第一面18は、その全面を陽極側金属枠体2に面接触させる。この場合、陰極側金属枠体4及び陰極3は、同一の平面状に配置された構成になる。このため、ガスケット17の陰極側に設けられた切欠き部20内に、縁部が収容保持された隔膜6は、隔膜6の全面が、陰極側金属枠体4及び陰極3に接触した状態となり、隔膜6が、陰極3の表面に沿った状態(積層されているような状態)で、固定された一平面の状態に保持されることになる。
第3実施形態では、第1実施形態又は第2実施形態の構成に加えて、陽極1に、隔膜6側の表面に陽極活性化触媒を被覆したものを用い、陰極3に、隔膜6側の表面に陰極活性化触媒を被覆したものを用いる。このように構成することによって、電解槽の高性能化を図ることが可能となる。更に、本発明の電解槽を高性能化するためには、陽極1の隔膜6側の表面に、陽極触媒活性コーティングを施した陽極側ファインメッシュ28を装着し、及び/又は、陰極3の隔膜6側表面に、陰極触媒活性コーティングを施した陰極側ファインメッシュ29を装着することが好ましい。
本発明の電解槽用ガスケットは、アルカリ水電解槽に好適であるが、食塩電解の電解槽や、その他の電解槽、例えば、純水電解、非精製水の電解、臭化物水溶液電解、塩酸水溶液電解、硫酸水溶液電解等の電解槽にも適用することができる。本発明を食塩電解槽に適用するためには、隔膜6として、陽イオン交換膜を使用し、電解槽の陽極室15及び陰極室16を、前記陽イオン交換膜により隔離し、陽極側電解液として食塩水を使用し、陰極側電解液として、苛性アルカリ金属水溶液とする。
更に、本発明の電解槽用ガスケット及び電解槽は、加圧システムにおいても適用することができる。尚、加圧システムの場合は、陽極室、陰極室がともに加圧される。このとき陽極側より陰極側の圧力を少し高め、陰極加圧の制御をすることで陰極側から集められる水素純度は高くなる傾向があり、運転管理としては陰極加圧が好ましい。一方、隔膜の種類にもより、電解液が透過し易い隔膜では、その陰極加圧も水柱10cm-H2O程度の小さなもの、又は同圧を採用することになる。
更に、本発明の電解槽用ガスケット及び電解槽は、単極式の電解槽だけでなく複極式電解槽にも適用することができる。
