Abstract
Description
本発明は、アルミと水を原料として、これら相互の反応過程を通じて水素ガス並びに酸化アルミや水酸化アルミを含むアルミ化合物を製造する方式に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing an aluminum compound containing hydrogen gas and aluminum oxide or aluminum hydroxide through the mutual reaction process using aluminum and water as raw materials.
従来の水素を製造する技術としては、水を電気分解して製造する方式、メタノールを改質器に通して製造する方式、都市ガスや天然ガスを分解して製造する方式、太陽光とセラミック触媒を用いて水から製造する方式、微生物の作用を利用して製造する方式などがあった。 Conventional hydrogen production technologies include water electrolysis, methanol production through a reformer, city gas and natural gas production, solar and ceramic catalyst There are a method of manufacturing from water using a method and a method of manufacturing using the action of microorganisms.
従来の技術にあっては、何れも装置若しくは運転に相当の費用がかかるため、生産された水素ガス等の価格の低減には限界があり、産業上の大きな課題となっていた。 In any of the conventional techniques, since a considerable amount of cost is required for the apparatus or operation, there is a limit to reducing the price of the produced hydrogen gas and the like, which has been a major industrial issue.
常温常圧下においては、アルミと水とはほとんど反応しないが、本発明は、触媒及び添加剤を用いてこれらのアルミと水の反応を常温常圧下、若しくは必要に応じて温度、圧力等を適宜加減した環境において著しく促進させ、この反応過程を通じて水素ガス及びアルミ化合物を容易かつ安価に製造する方式を提供するものである。
触媒としては水銀を利用してアルミ材をアマルガム化することによりアルミと水の反応を促進すると共に、アルミ及び水銀の表面に形成されていてアマルガム化反応を阻害する要因となっている酸化アルミ皮膜及び酸化水銀皮膜を、クエン酸等の添加剤を水に加えて酸性溶液とすることにより溶解除去して該アマルガム化反応を促進する。Under normal temperature and pressure, aluminum and water hardly react, but the present invention uses a catalyst and an additive to react these aluminum and water under normal temperature and pressure, or if necessary, temperature, pressure, etc. The present invention provides a method for producing hydrogen gas and an aluminum compound easily and inexpensively through this reaction process, while greatly promoting in a moderate environment.
Aluminum oxide film that is formed on the surface of aluminum and mercury and inhibits the amalgamation reaction while aluminizing the aluminum material using mercury as a catalyst to promote the reaction between aluminum and water The mercury oxide film is dissolved and removed by adding an additive such as citric acid to water to make an acidic solution, thereby promoting the amalgamation reaction.
(1) 原料として安価な屑アルミ等と水が利用できると共に、装置が単純安価であるうえ、特別な加熱や加圧が原則として不要でその運転コストも安価なため、水素ガスの製造コストを大幅に低減する効果がある。
(2) 水素ガス製造工程の副産物として生成される酸化アルミ、水酸化アルミを含むアルミ化合物微粒子を原料として、容易に金属アルミ若しくはその他のアルミを原料とする製品が製造できるので、アルミ再生コストを低減し、資源の有効利用に寄与する効果がある。
(3) 水とアルミを投入して走行する方式の自動車を含む移動体の動力源に利用できるなど、産業上の効果は大きい。(1) Inexpensive scrap aluminum and water can be used as raw materials, and the equipment is simple and inexpensive. In addition, special heating and pressurization are not required in principle and its operating cost is low. There is a significant reduction effect.
(2) Since aluminum oxide fine particles containing aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide produced as a by-product of the hydrogen gas production process can be used as raw materials, products made of metal aluminum or other aluminum materials can be easily manufactured. This has the effect of reducing and contributing to effective use of resources.
(3) There are significant industrial effects, such as being able to use as a power source for moving bodies including automobiles that run with water and aluminum.
触媒として使用する水銀と反応しにくいと共に、酸性水溶液に侵されないガラス、プラスチック、ステンレス、その他の密閉容器(1)に、適宜の量の水を入れ、これにクエン酸その他の酸性溶液化添加剤を数パーセントから数十パーセント溶解させて酸性の水溶液(2)とし、これに適量の触媒(3)として作用する水銀を投入しておき、これに塊、板、片、粉末等の任意の形状のアルミ材料(4)を適宜の量投入する。
投入されたアルミ(4)及び触媒(3)である水銀の表面に形成されてアマルガム化を阻害している酸化アルミ皮膜及び酸化水銀皮膜は該酸性水溶液(2)により溶解除去されて、アルミと水銀が直接接触するようになり、アルミ材料のアマルガム化が促進され、その結果アルミ材料(4)と水溶液(2)の反応を活発化する。すなわち、アルミ(4)は水溶液(2)と反応し、水溶液(2)から酸素若しくは水酸基を奪って酸化アルミ若しくは水酸化アルミを含むアルミ化合物微粒子(5)となると共に、余剰となった水素は水素ガス(6)となり、泡となって水面に浮上し、密閉容器(1)内の水面上に溜まる。
しかして、密閉容器(1)の水面の上方部に1開口(7a)を有する管(7)を設置し、該管(7)の他端の開口(7b)を該密閉容器(1)の外部に配置すれば、発生した水素ガスを取り出すことができる。
密閉容器(8)は開口(7b)から噴出したガスを水(10)を通して漉して、ガス中の不純物を除去するための簡易なろ過器である。ろ過器から管(9)の開口(9b)から取り出された水素ガス(6)は、そのまま燃料電池や水素エンジンなどの水素ガスの消費体に直接供給してもよいし、またボンベなどに充填して他へ移動してもよい。
以上は、本方式の基本構成並びに基本作用を説明したが、装置の連続動作や自動運転を行い、水素ガス等(6、5)のより効率的な、かつ、高純度生産物の生産を実現するためには、水及び添加剤の補充、反応促進のための水溶液(2)及びアルミ(4)の攪拌、アルミ化合物微粒子(5)と水溶液(2)との混合液の取り出しと処理、触媒(3)の補給や回収、不純物除去手段の設置、その他の自動制御設備の設置等が必要であるが、これ等は何れも既存の各種技術、手段が利用できるので、ここでは説明を省略する。
また、上記反応は常温常圧の環境下で問題なく生起するが、更に反応効率を上げる手段として温度、圧力等を適宜加減した環境を作ってやってもよい。Put an appropriate amount of water in glass, plastic, stainless steel, or other sealed container (1) that does not easily react with mercury used as a catalyst and is not affected by acidic aqueous solution, and it is added with citric acid and other acidic solution additives. Is dissolved in several to several tens of percent to form an acidic aqueous solution (2), and an appropriate amount of mercury acting as a catalyst (3) is added to the solution, and an arbitrary shape such as a lump, plate, piece, powder, etc. An appropriate amount of the aluminum material (4) is added.
The aluminum oxide film and mercury oxide film which are formed on the surface of mercury as the input aluminum (4) and catalyst (3) and inhibit the amalgamation are dissolved and removed by the acidic aqueous solution (2), and aluminum and Mercury comes into direct contact and the amalgamation of the aluminum material is promoted. As a result, the reaction between the aluminum material (4) and the aqueous solution (2) is activated. That is, aluminum (4) reacts with aqueous solution (2), deprives oxygen or hydroxyl group from aqueous solution (2) to become aluminum compound fine particles (5) containing aluminum oxide or aluminum hydroxide, and surplus hydrogen is It becomes hydrogen gas (6), becomes bubbles, floats on the water surface, and accumulates on the water surface in the sealed container (1).
Thus, a pipe (7) having one opening (7a) is installed above the water surface of the sealed container (1), and the opening (7b) at the other end of the pipe (7) is connected to the closed container (1). If arranged outside, the generated hydrogen gas can be taken out.
The sealed container (8) is a simple filter for removing the impurities in the gas by pouring the gas ejected from the opening (7b) through the water (10). The hydrogen gas (6) taken out from the opening (9b) of the pipe (9) from the filter may be supplied directly to a hydrogen gas consumer such as a fuel cell or a hydrogen engine, or filled into a cylinder or the like. You may move to another.
The basic configuration and basic action of this method have been described above. However, continuous operation and automatic operation of the system are performed to realize more efficient and high-purity products such as hydrogen gas (6, 5). In order to do this, water and additives are replenished, the aqueous solution (2) and aluminum (4) are stirred to promote the reaction, the mixture of the aluminum compound fine particles (5) and the aqueous solution (2) is taken out and treated, catalyst (3) Replenishment and recovery, installation of impurity removal means, installation of other automatic control equipment, etc. are necessary. However, since these can all use existing technologies and means, description thereof is omitted here. .
In addition, the above reaction occurs without problems in an environment of normal temperature and pressure, but as a means for further increasing the reaction efficiency, an environment in which temperature, pressure and the like are appropriately adjusted may be created.
