Along with technology and expanding economy and Increase of population, make people increasing to the demand of the energy.Be the fossil oil of representative with oil, coal at present, use on the one hand and brought the serious environmental pollution, on the other hand because its non-renewable and limited reserves will bring serious energy dilemma.So the reproducible new forms of energy of development cleaning are more and more urgent.Hydrogen is with its cleanliness without any pollution, and is efficient, can store and advantage such as transportation, is regarded as optimal energy carrier.Hydrogen except that as the free of contamination energy, also is used in many fields such as electronics, military affairs, aerospace, chemical, metallurgy, building materials, meteorology and automobile as a kind of inflammable gas.
The method of making hydrogen is a lot, and wherein the water electrolysis hydrogen production technical development gets maturation the most, is widely used.
Go up direct current when two electrodes (negative electrode and anode) are logical respectively, and when immersing in the water, water will be decomposed and produce hydrogen and oxygen respectively at negative electrode and anode, this process is exactly a brine electrolysis, and such device then is a water electrolyzer.
Electrolyzer in the market can be divided into three kinds: alkaline electrolytic bath, proton exchange membrane electrolyser (PEM) and means of solid oxide electrolytic cell.Alkaline electrolytic bath is business-like the earliest cell technologies, though its efficient is minimum in three kinds of electrolyzers, since cheap, still be widely used at present, especially in extensive hydrogen manufacturing industry, the shortcoming of alkaline electrolytic bath is that efficient is lower and use asbestos as barrier film.
Barrier film all occupies very important position in any electrolyzer, it places between anode, the negative electrode, stops the mixing of anode side oxygen and cathode side hydrogen, to guarantee gas purity, to improve current efficiency and security.Its specific requirement is: in 100 ℃ to the weather resistance of 30% potassium hydroxide electrolyte, scale resistance, less ion by resistance, high electronics by resistance, by the high initial wettability of electrolytic solution and permanent wettability, higher resistance to air loss, thin thickness, high mechanical stability.
Because the limitation of technology, at present domestic main hydrogen producer producer still adopts woven asbesto as barrier film, asbestos diaphragm is in excellent anti-corrosion performance below 90 ℃, in 30% the KOH solution, but its resistance is bigger,, when pressure increase easily dissolving and cause pollution to electrolytic solution too high when temperature; And asbestos have carinogenicity, can produce environment in the process of exploitation and processing use and pollute, and human body is worked the mischief.A lot of countries have proposed to forbid the use of asbestos in alkaline electrolytic bath.Therefore it is very urgent and necessary seeking new diaphragm material.
It is that the base cloth surface is coated with the barrier film of making hydrophilic modifying with sulfonation PPS with the PTFE fabric that italian patent 24836A/80 has introduced a kind of, this barrier film corrosion resistance nature is fine, but its production technique is comparatively complicated, need carry out roll compacting under High Temperature High Pressure, diaphragm size is subjected to certain limitation, and homogeneity is poor, and because its PTFE surface energy that adopts is very little, be difficult to bondedly, it and PPS material thermal expansion coefficient differ greatly, the easy layering so barrier film is heated.
U.S. Pat 4895634 adopts pure polyphenylene sulfide fibre to make woven cloth or nonwoven mat, and adopt means of different (sulfonation, phosphinylidyneization, phosphorylated) to carry out hydrophilic modifying, and claiming its membrane properties excellence according to patent, heatproof is corrosion-resistant, water-intake rate 300%, gas purity can reach 99.99%; But its membrane thicknesses is big (about 2mm), and its hydrophilic aftertreatment technology is complicated, and the time is grown (being about 2h), and its patent is not pointed out the barrier film complete processing.
At present, adopt needle-punched non-woven polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) barrier film, still belong to the first time at home, the associated viscera of its preparation method is not seen open yet.

Utilize the prepared high temperature resistant alkaline water electrolytic cell barrier diaphragm excellent property of preparation method of the present invention, steady quality.Performance index such as the homogeneity of product, thickness, intensity, voidage, resistance to air loss, resistance, chemical resistant properties all meet the demands.The further barrier film of handling (sulfonation processing) production of process satisfies the service requirements of alkaline water electrolytic cell fully, and technical indicator meets or exceeds the technical requirements of China's building material industry standard (JC/T211-2000 barrier film woven asbesto standard).
Embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiment.
A kind of high temperature resistant alkaline electrolytic bath barrier film is needle-punched non-woven polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) barrier film.
Disadvantageously, the PPS fiber that is applied to alkaline electrolysis hydrogen manufacturing diaphragm for electrolytic cell material is hydrophobic, can not satisfy the important need of and good wettability quick by electrolytic solution, yet bad wettability will cause the gathering of bubble in the operational process, hinder ionic and pass through, increased resistance, the final energy consumption that increases electrolyzer, so, must carry out hydrophilic treatment to barrier film.
The preparation method of high temperature resistant alkaline water electrolytic cell barrier diaphragm of the present invention mainly comprises five steps: the selection of (1) fibrous material; (2) shredding of fiber, mixing, combing, one-tenth net; (3) lapping: the multilayer fibre web of desired fabric width and thickness is made in the single net process lapping machine lapping after the combing; (4) pinprick reinforcement; (5) hydrophilic aftertreatment.According to prior art, the technical issues that need to address mainly contain two: the membranous one-tenth mesh reinforcement technique of non-woven, barrier film aftertreatment technology are selected and processing parameter setting.
