Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bipolar electrolysis apparatus with an oxygen consumable cathode for producing chlorine and sodium hydroxide solution from aqueous alkali chloride solution with devices for supplying the electrolysis current and the electrolysis starting products and for removing the electrolysis starting products, in which the anode and cathode are arranged separated from one another by a partition.
- Aqueous sodium chloride electrolysis is an important process for the production of the heavy chemicals chlorine and sodium hydroxide.
- a modern variant is carried out in a membrane cell.
- the electrolysis cell consists of an anode compartment with an anode and a cathode compartment with a cathode, and a cation exchange membrane that separates the two electrolysis compartments from one another. If a saturated sodium chloride solution is fed into the anode compartment, the chloride ions at the anode are discharged into elemental chlorine under the influence of the electric current. At the same time, water is decomposed at the cathode with the formation of elemental hydrogen and hydroxide ions.
- the underlying chemical reaction corresponds to the following equation:
- an alkali metal chloride such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride or lithium chloride
- a material must be used which is resistant to the corrosive medium, which contains high chloride ion concentrations and elemental chlorine.
- titanium, iridium or noble metals preference is given to titanium metal, which can be activated on the surface with a mixed oxide in order to reduce the chlorine overvoltage and at the same time increase the oxygen overvoltage.
- the anode is also made of titanium, which can be activated by transition metal oxides such as ruthenium oxide or iridium oxide in order to lower the chlorine overvoltage and at the same time increase the oxygen overvoltage.
- Titanium cannot be used for the cathode compartment because the hydrogen formed would cause embrittlement of the titanium metal.
- the cathode compartment is therefore made of normal steel, stainless steel, nickel or nickel-plated steel.
- the cathode also consists of these materials, but can additionally be activated by noble metals or other electrocatalysts such as, for example, Raney nickel or sulfur-containing nickel.
- Electrochemical cells for alkali chloride electrolysis additionally contain a diaphragm or a cation exchange membrane, which separate the anode and cathode compartments.
- Cation exchange membranes that is perfluorinated membranes containing sulfonic acid or carboxyl groups, are preferably used if high-purity sodium hydroxide solution is to be obtained.
- the membranes are cation-selective, i.e. only allow sodium ions to pass through during sodium chloride electrolysis, whereas the chloride ions remain in the anode compartment.
- electrolysis cells which consist of an anode compartment with anode, cathode compartment with cathode and a cation exchange membrane, are used to assemble larger electrolyzers, which can consist of a large number of individual cells.
- electrolysers can be switched monopolar or bipolar. The bipolar circuit is preferred since very large cell units can be operated with it.
- the invention solves the problem in that at least one element with the shape of a double trough is arranged between two half-shells with edges designed as a flange, one of which carries an anode and the second a cathode the anode and the cathode, which are spatially separated from one another by the wall, and the struts which are perpendicular on both sides from the common floor and a side wall divided by the floor in height, the edges of which are provided with flanges Protrude from the bottom are electrically connected, the partition walls are clamped between the flanges of the half-shells and the element Sealing elements are arranged so that a cavity is formed between the partition and the cathode.
- two or more elements can be arranged between the half-shells.
- the partition is clamped between the flanges of the elements and a sealing element is arranged so that a cavity is formed between the partition and the cathode.
- a spacer can be arranged between the partition wall and the cathode and the sealing element can have recesses which connect the cavity between the partition wall and the cathode with devices for supplying and removing the catholyte.
- Titanium can be used as the material for the half-shells and elements. Suitable as anode is titanium, which is activated with an oxide or mixed oxide of the metals of subgroup 8 of the periodic table.
- the element 6 has the shape of a double trough, which consists of a common floor 7 and one divided by the floor at its height side wall 8 is formed.
- the bottom 7 can also be arranged asymmetrically, so that the tubs are of different depths.
- the edges of the wall, i.e. the free ends, are provided with flanges 9 and 10.
- the flange 9 or the wall part adjoining it each carries an anode 4 and the flange 10 or the wall part adjoining it each carries a cathode 5.
- the space formed by the anode 4 and the trough is the anode space 11 and that by the cathode 5 and the trough formed space the gas space 12.
- struts 13 are arranged which protrude vertically from the floor and connect the electrodes 4 and 5 to the floor 7 in an electrically conductive manner.
- Partitions 14 such as ion exchange membranes, diaphragms etc. and sealing elements 15 are arranged between the flanges 3, 3a, 9, 10 of the half-shells 1, 2 and the elements 6.
- the sealing element consists of an alkali-resistant material, preferably PTFE.
- the thickness of the sealing element 15 is such that a cavity 16, the cathode space, is created between the partition 14 and the cathode 5. It may be expedient to arrange a spacer 17 between the partition wall 14 and the cathode 5 in the cavity 16, which spacer sets a uniform distance between the cathode and the partition wall.
- the spacer is made of an alkali-resistant material such as PTFE or nickel.
- a cathode space depth of about 2 to 3 mm is preferred, particularly preferably 0.5 to 1 mm.
- the sealing element 15 can be provided with recesses 18 which connect the cavity 16 with devices 19 for feeding and removing the catholyte.
- Anolyte is supplied and discharged via the lines 20 and gas (air, oxygen) for the oxygen consumable cathode via the lines 21.
- the half-shells 1, 2 and the elements 6 are connected by means of screws 23 guided in bushings 22 made of electrically insulating material.
- the power supplies are marked with plus and minus.
- the partition 14 can rest on the anode 4.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen bipolaren Elektrolyseapparat mit Sauerstoffverzehrkathode zum Herstellen von Chlor und Natronlauge aus wässeriger Alkalichloridlösung mit Einrichtungen zum Zuführen des Elektrolysestromes und der Elektrolyseeingangsprodukte und zum Abführen der Elektrolyseausgangsprodukte, bei dem Anode und Kathode durch eine Trennwand voneinander getrennt angeordnet sind.The present invention relates to a bipolar electrolysis apparatus with an oxygen consumable cathode for producing chlorine and sodium hydroxide solution from aqueous alkali chloride solution with devices for supplying the electrolysis current and the electrolysis starting products and for removing the electrolysis starting products, in which the anode and cathode are arranged separated from one another by a partition.
Die wäßrige Natriumchlorid-Elektrolyse ist ein wichtiges Verfahren zur Herstellung der Schwerchemikalien Chlor und Natronlauge. Eine moderne Variante wird in einer Membranzelle durchgeführt. Bei diesem Verfahren besteht die Elektrolyse-Zelle aus einem Anodenraum mit einer Anode und einem Kathodenraum mit einer Kathode,sowie einer Kationenaustauscher-Membran, die beide Elektrolyseräume voneinander trennt. Speist man in den Anodenraum eine gesättigte Natriumchlorid-Lösung ein, so werden unter der Einwirkung des elektrischen Stromes die Chloridionen an der Anode zu elementarem Chlor entladen. Gleichzeitig findet an der Kathode eine Wasserzerlegung unter Bildung von elementarem Wasserstoff und Hydroxidionen statt. Etwa in gleichem Maße wie Hydroxidionen erzeugt werden, wandern Natriumionen aus dem Anodenraum durch die Kationenaustauscher-Membran in den Kathodenraum. Die zugrundeliegende chemische Reaktion entspricht der folgenden Gleichung:
Für den Kathodenraum kann der Werkstoff Titan nicht verwendet werden, da durch den gebildeten Wasserstoff eine Versprödung des Titanmetalls verursacht würde. Der Kathodenraum wird deshalb aus Normalstahl, Edelstahl, Nickel oder vernickeltem Stahl gefertigt. Die Kathode besteht ebenfalls aus diesen Materialien, kann aber zusätzlich durch Edelmetalle oder andere Elektrokatalysatoren wie beispielsweise Raney-Nickel oder schwefelhaltigem Nickel aktiviert sein. Elektrochemische Zellen für die Alkalichlorid-Elektrolyse enthalten zusätzlich ein Diaphragma oder eine Kationenaustauschermembran, die Anoden-und Kathodenraum voneinander trennen. Bevorzugt werden Kationenaustauscher-Membranen, das sind perfluorierte Membranen, die Sulfonsäure- oder Carboxylgruppen enthalten, verwendet, wenn hochreine Natronlauge erhalten werden soll. Die Membranen sind kationenselektiv, lassen also bei der Natriumchlorid-Elektrolyse nur die Natriumionen durch, wohingegen die Chloridionen im Anodenraum verbleiben.Titanium cannot be used for the cathode compartment because the hydrogen formed would cause embrittlement of the titanium metal. The cathode compartment is therefore made of normal steel, stainless steel, nickel or nickel-plated steel. The cathode also consists of these materials, but can additionally be activated by noble metals or other electrocatalysts such as, for example, Raney nickel or sulfur-containing nickel. Electrochemical cells for alkali chloride electrolysis additionally contain a diaphragm or a cation exchange membrane, which separate the anode and cathode compartments. Cation exchange membranes, that is perfluorinated membranes containing sulfonic acid or carboxyl groups, are preferably used if high-purity sodium hydroxide solution is to be obtained. The membranes are cation-selective, i.e. only allow sodium ions to pass through during sodium chloride electrolysis, whereas the chloride ions remain in the anode compartment.
In der Praxis werden aus solchen Elektrolysezellen, die aus Anodenraum mit Anode, Kathodenraum mit Kathode und Kationenaustauscher-Membran bestehen, größere Elektrolyseure zusammenstellt, die aus einer Vielzahl von Einzelzellen bestehen können. Solche Elektrolyseure können monopolar oder bipolar geschaltet sein. Bevorzugt ist die bipolare Schaltung, da hiermit sehr große Zelleneinheiten betrieben werden können.In practice, such electrolysis cells, which consist of an anode compartment with anode, cathode compartment with cathode and a cation exchange membrane, are used to assemble larger electrolyzers, which can consist of a large number of individual cells. Such electrolysers can be switched monopolar or bipolar. The bipolar circuit is preferred since very large cell units can be operated with it.
Schwierigkeiten treten aber beim Stromübergang von Zelle zu Zelle auf. Wegen der unterschiedlichen Materialien von Kathodenraum und Anodenraum, über deren jeweilge Rückwand die Stromleitung erfolgt, und vor allem wegen der Passivierung des Titans in Luftatmosphäre, treten große übergangswiderstände und damit erhebliche Spannungsverluste auf.However, difficulties arise in the current transfer from cell to cell. Because of the different materials of the cathode compartment and the anode compartment, through whose respective rear wall the power is conducted, and above all because of the passivation of the titanium in an air atmosphere, there are large contact resistances and thus considerable voltage losses.
Es bestannd daher die Aufgabe, eine elektrochemische Zelle zur Verfügung zu stellen, die aus einfachen Bausteinen besteht und zu großen Elektrolyseuren zusammengestellt werden kann, und die bei bipolarer Schaltung eine optimale Stromleitung von Zelle zu Zelle gewährleistet.It is therefore the task of providing an electrochemical cell which consists of simple building blocks and can be put together to form large electrolysers and which ensures optimal current conduction from cell to cell in the case of bipolar switching.
Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Patentansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe dadurch, daß zwischen zwei Halbschalen mit als Flansch ausgebildeten Rändern, von denen eine eine Anode und die zweite eine Kathode trägt, mindestens ein Element mit der Form einer Doppelwanne angeordnet ist, die aus einem gemeinsamen Boden und einer durch den Boden in ihrer Höhe geteilten seitlichen Wand gebildet wird, deren Ränder mit Flanschen versehen sind, die Anode und die Kathode, die durch den Boden räumlich voneinander getrennt sind, mit der Wand und Streben die beidseitig senkrecht aus dem Boden herausragen elektrisch leitend verbunden sind, zwischen den Flanschen der Halbschalen und des Elements die Trennwände eingeklemmt und Dichtungselemente so angeordnet sind, daß zwischen Trennwand und Kathode ein Hohlraum entsteht.The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem in that at least one element with the shape of a double trough is arranged between two half-shells with edges designed as a flange, one of which carries an anode and the second a cathode the anode and the cathode, which are spatially separated from one another by the wall, and the struts which are perpendicular on both sides from the common floor and a side wall divided by the floor in height, the edges of which are provided with flanges Protrude from the bottom are electrically connected, the partition walls are clamped between the flanges of the half-shells and the element Sealing elements are arranged so that a cavity is formed between the partition and the cathode.
In einer Ausgestaltung können zwischen den Halbschalen zwei und mehr Elemente angeordnet sein.

Zwischen Trennwand und Kathode kann ein Abstandshalter angeordnet sein und das Dichtungselement Ausnehmungen aufweisen, die den Hohlraum zwischen Trennwand und Kathode mit Einrichtungen zum Zu- und Abführen des Katholyten verbindet. Für die Halbschalen und Elemente kann Titan als Werkstoff verwendet werden. Als Anode eignet sich Titan, das mit einem Oxid oder Mischoxid der Metalle der 8. Nebengruppe des Periodensystems aktiviert ist.In one embodiment, two or more elements can be arranged between the half-shells. The partition is clamped between the flanges of the elements and a sealing element is arranged so that a cavity is formed between the partition and the cathode. A spacer can be arranged between the partition wall and the cathode and the sealing element can have recesses which connect the cavity between the partition wall and the cathode with devices for supplying and removing the catholyte. Titanium can be used as the material for the half-shells and elements. Suitable as anode is titanium, which is activated with an oxide or mixed oxide of the metals of
