- The following detailed description of the figure uses the figure to discuss illustrative embodiments, which are not to be construed as restrictive, along with the features and further advantages thereof.
- Figure 1 shows a scheme of an inventive hydrogen peroxide solution production device. Said hydrogen peroxide solution production device is beneficially utilized in paper pulp industry as example of the fiber based material applications, for example, for bleaching the fiber material without further chemicals. Herein, the
electrochemical cell 1 produces the hydrogen peroxide solution to be processed according to the inventive method. The figure shows an specific example of the inventive hydrogen peroxide solution production device containing an integrated electrolyzer 12 receiving electricity from external sources like especially renewable energy. Utilizing the electricity the electrolyzer 12 generates anoxygen stream 15 and ahydrogen stream 16. These streams are temporarily stored in theoxygen container 13 and thehydrogen container 14 for further use. As required the oxygen and hydrogen are retrieved from theoxygen container 13 and thehydrogen container 14 and utilized by theelectrochemical cell 1 to produce hydrogen peroxide being soluted in a watery low concentration hydrogen peroxide solution. - The resulting hydrogen peroxide solution is forwarded as fluid stream 2 to the
electrotechnical cell 3. Within theelectrotechnical cell 3 the fluid stream 2 is sped up to a speed of more than 1 m/s and flows through an electrical field leading to an inhomogeneity of the hydrogen peroxide molecules within the fluid stream based on the dipol moment of the molecules. The fluid stream 2 is split into two parts thereafter by passing through a blade like components physically dividing the fluid stream 2 into a hydrogen peroxide enriched part of thefluid stream 6 and a hydrogen peroxide depleted part of thefluid stream 7. - The hydrogen peroxide enriched part of the
fluid stream 6 is forwarded to a firstelectrotechnical cell 4 being tasked with providing the final concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution in the end. The hydrogen peroxide depleted part of thefluid stream 7 is forwarded to a second hydrogen peroxide enrichedpart 9 processing the depleted part of the solution. - The first hydrogen peroxide enriched part 8 originating from the first
electrotechnical cell 4 is fed again into the firstelectrotechnical cell 4 to be enriched again. While the second hydrogen peroxide depletedpart 10 of the secondelectrotechnical cell 5 is fed again into the secondelectrotechnical cell 5 to be further decreased. To compensate the lost amount of fluid the second hydrogen peroxide enrichedpart 9 is also fed into the firstelectrotechnical cell 4 along with the first hydrogen peroxide enriched part 8 for the repeated enrichment step. In turn the first hydrogen peroxide depletedpart 11 is fed along the second hydrogen peroxide depletedpart 10 to the secondelectrotechnical cell 5 to repeat the depletion step. By repeating these steps, the hydrogen peroxide concentration easily reaches the required concentrations for subsequent industrial processes with very little energy and effort being required. - While it is possible to reach quite high concentrations be repeated processes it is typically to be preferred to include additional electrotechnical cells parallel to each other like the first and second electrotechnical cell allowing to provide a cascade of connected fluid streams efficiently increasing the hydrogen peroxide concentration with a low number of cycles through the electrotechnical cells. The hydrogen peroxide concentration in the solution can be easily monitored by UV light resulting in a fluorescence of the hydrogen peroxide being able to be quantified by simple measurement to directly identify the amount of hydrogen peroxide available. Herein, based on the interrelation of such electrotechnical cells it is possible to monitor the whole system with a single sensor. Yet, including multiple sensor and UV lights allows to simplify the system and prevent urgent actions in case in case of a malfunction. Rendering service actions unnecessary being very valuable for, for example, excapsulated systems.
