Description

本発明は、電解液を電気分解して酸素と水素を発生させる酸素および水素の発生方法およびこれに用いる装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an oxygen and hydrogen generation method for electrolyzing an electrolytic solution to generate oxygen and hydrogen, and an apparatus used therefor.

従来から、水を電気分解して酸素と水素を発生させる酸水素ガス発生装置を用い、この装置で発生させた酸水素ガスを溶断用，ろう付け用等の燃焼ガス等として利用することがよく行われている。このような酸水素ガス発生装置では、長時間使用すると、上記電気分解を行う電解セル内でスラッジが発生するため、つぎのような問題を引き起こしている。すなわち、電解セル内の電極板にスラッジが堆積してこれら各電極板の表面積が小さくなるため、電解効率が低下し、酸水素ガスの発生量が低下する。しかも、上記各電極板間の間隔が狭いため、上記各電極板間にスラッジが溜まると、火花が飛びやすくなり、上記各電極板間で爆発がよく起こって各電極板が破損等する。しかも、フロートタイプ，光使用タイプ等の液面センサでは、スラッジにより電解液タンクの液面を正確に測定することができず、誤作動の原因となる。   Conventionally, an oxyhydrogen gas generator that generates oxygen and hydrogen by electrolyzing water is used, and the oxyhydrogen gas generated by this device is often used as a combustion gas for fusing, brazing, etc. Has been done. When such an oxyhydrogen gas generator is used for a long time, sludge is generated in the electrolysis cell that performs the electrolysis, causing the following problems. That is, since sludge is deposited on the electrode plates in the electrolytic cell and the surface area of each electrode plate is reduced, the electrolysis efficiency is reduced and the generation amount of oxyhydrogen gas is reduced. In addition, since the interval between the electrode plates is narrow, if sludge accumulates between the electrode plates, sparks are likely to fly, and explosions frequently occur between the electrode plates, causing damage to the electrode plates. In addition, the liquid level sensor such as the float type or the light use type cannot accurately measure the liquid level of the electrolyte tank by the sludge, which causes a malfunction.

そこで、通常は、電解液の通路にメッシュタイプのフィルタを設け、このフィルタで上記スラッジを除去するようにしている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開２０００−３５５７８２号公報 Therefore, a mesh type filter is usually provided in the electrolyte passage, and the sludge is removed with this filter (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2000-357882 A

しかしながら、上記のメッシュタイプのフィルタを設ける場合には、つぎのような問題がある。すなわち、フィルタのメッシュが早期に目詰まりし、この早期目詰まりによりフィルタの交換頻度が高くなり、ランニングコストが上がる。しかも、メッシュタイプのフィルタでは、メッシュの穴径より小さなスラッジを除去することができない。また、メッシュの穴径を小さくすると、さらに目詰まりが早くなるうえ、目詰まりしたまま使用し続けると、ポンプ等他の機器に悪影響を及ぼす。   However, when the mesh type filter is provided, there are the following problems. That is, the filter mesh is clogged at an early stage, and this early clogging increases the frequency of filter replacement, resulting in an increase in running cost. Moreover, the mesh type filter cannot remove sludge smaller than the mesh hole diameter. Further, if the mesh hole diameter is reduced, clogging is further accelerated, and if the mesh is used while clogged, it adversely affects other equipment such as a pump.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みなされたもので、長期間にわたって目詰まりすることがなく、ランニングコストの上昇を防ぐことができ、しかも、微小なスラッジをも除去することができる酸素および水素の発生方法およびこれに用いる装置の提供をその目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. Oxygen and hydrogen that can prevent clogging over a long period of time, prevent an increase in running cost, and can also remove fine sludge. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for generating the above and an apparatus used therefor.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明は、電解部内で電解液の電気分解により酸素および水素を発生させる酸素および水素の発生方法であって、上記電気分解時に上記電解部内のステンレス製電極板の溶出に起因して発生する磁性フェライトからなるスラッジを、上記電解部から電解液とともに導出したのち、磁気吸着手段により吸着して上記電解液から除去するようにした酸素および水素の発生方法を第１の要旨とし、電解液の電気分解により酸素と水素を発生させる電解部と、上記電気分解時に上記電解部内のステンレス製電極板の溶出に起因して発生する磁性フェライトからなり上記電解部から電解液とともに導出されたスラッジを吸着除去する磁気吸着手段とを備えた酸素および水素の発生装置を第２要旨とする。
To achieve the above object, the present invention is an oxygen and method of generating hydrogen for generating oxygen and hydrogen by electrolysis of the electrolyte solution in the electrolyte portion, stainless steel plate of the electrolytic portion during said electrolysis A method for generating oxygen and hydrogen in which sludge composed of magnetic ferrite generated due to elution of copper is led out together with the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic section and then adsorbed by a magnetic adsorption means to be removed from the electrolytic solution. a first gist, the electrolytic unit to generate oxygen and hydrogen by electrolysis of the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic unit of a magnetic ferrite caused by the dissolution of the stainless steel plate of the electrolytic portion during the electrolysis A second gist of the present invention is an oxygen and hydrogen generator equipped with magnetic adsorption means for adsorbing and removing sludge derived together with the electrolyte.

すなわち、本発明者らは、長期間にわたって目詰まりすることがなく、ランニングコストの上昇を防ぐことができ、しかも、微小なスラッジをも除去することができる酸素および水素の発生方法を得るための研究の過程で、電解部内に発生するスラッジは、電解部内での電気分解時に、電解部内に所定の間隔で多数配設されるステンレス製電極板の溶出に起因して発生する磁性フェライト等が堆積等してできたスラッジ（以下、「磁性スラッジ」という）を含んでおり、しかも、この磁性スラッジが、上記電解部内に発生するスラッジの大部分を占めている（上記電解部内に発生するスラッジ中、磁性スラッジが９９．５重量％程度を占めている）ことを突き止め、一連の研究を重ねた。その結果、強磁性体は磁石に吸着されることから、磁石等を備えた磁気吸着手段を用いて磁性スラッジを除去することにより、電解部内に発生するスラッジを殆ど除去することができることを着想し、本発明に到達した。
That is, the present inventors have obtained a method for generating oxygen and hydrogen that can prevent clogging over a long period of time, prevent an increase in running cost, and can also remove fine sludge. in the course of research, sludge generated in the electrolytic portion, upon electrolysis of the electrolytic section, magnetic ferrite or the like caused by the elution of a large number arranged by Luz stainless steel electrode plates at a predetermined interval in the electrolyte portion is It includes sludge produced by deposition (hereinafter referred to as “magnetic sludge”), and this magnetic sludge occupies most of the sludge generated in the electrolysis section (sludge generated in the electrolysis section). Among them, magnetic sludge accounted for about 99.5% by weight) and repeated a series of studies. As a result, since the ferromagnetic material is attracted to the magnet, it is conceived that the sludge generated in the electrolysis part can be almost removed by removing the magnetic sludge using a magnetic attracting means equipped with a magnet or the like. The present invention has been reached.

すなわち、本発明の酸素および水素の発生方法は、電解部内で発生する磁性スラッジを、上記電解部から電解液とともに導出したのち、磁気吸着手段により吸着して上記電解液から除去するようにしているため、上記電解部から導出した電解液中の磁性スラッジを上記磁気吸着手段により吸着除去することができる。したがって、本発明の発生方法では、これを長時間使用しても、電解部内に多数配設されたステンレス製電極板に磁性スラッジが殆ど堆積することがなく、良好な電解効率を維持し、酸素，水素のガス発生量が低下することがない。しかも、上記各ステンレス製電極板間に磁性スラッジが殆ど溜まることがなく、上記各ステンレス製電極板間で爆発が起こって各ステンレス製電極板が破損等することがない。しかも、電解液を溜めるタンク内に磁性スラッジが殆ど溜まらないため、フロートタイプ，光使用タイプ等の液面センサを用い、タンクの液面を正確に測定することができ、誤作動が起こらない。しかも、磁気吸着手段として、メッシュ構造でないものを用いることにより、早期に目詰まりすることを防ぐことができる。このため、磁気吸着手段の交換頻度が低く、ランニングコストの上昇を防ぐことができるうえ、ポンプ等他の機器に悪影響を及ぼすこともない。しかも、磁気吸着手段の磁性を利用して磁性スラッジを吸着除去しているため、メッシュタイプのフィルタでは除去することができない、微小な磁性スラッジをも除去することができる。また、本発明の酸素および水素の発生装置によっても、上記優れた効果を奏する。
That is, in the method for generating oxygen and hydrogen according to the present invention, magnetic sludge generated in the electrolysis unit is led out together with the electrolyte from the electrolysis unit, and then adsorbed by a magnetic adsorption means and removed from the electrolyte. Therefore, the magnetic sludge in the electrolytic solution led out from the electrolysis unit can be adsorbed and removed by the magnetic adsorption means. Accordingly, the generation method of the present invention, the use of this long, without magnetic sludge is hardly deposited on the stainless steel electrode plates disposed number in the electrolyte portion, to maintain good electrolysis efficiency, Oxygen and hydrogen gas generation does not decrease. Moreover, the above-mentioned stainless steel electrode plates without magnetic sludge hardly accumulates, each stainless steel electrode plates in explosion occurred the stainless steel electrode plate is not damaged and the like. In addition, since magnetic sludge hardly accumulates in the tank in which the electrolyte is stored, the liquid level in the tank can be accurately measured using a liquid level sensor such as a float type or a light use type, and no malfunction occurs. Moreover, it is possible to prevent clogging at an early stage by using a magnetic adsorption means that does not have a mesh structure. For this reason, the replacement frequency of the magnetic attraction means is low, the increase in running cost can be prevented, and other devices such as a pump are not adversely affected. Moreover, since the magnetic sludge is attracted and removed using the magnetism of the magnetic attracting means, it is possible to remove even the minute magnetic sludge that cannot be removed by the mesh type filter. The oxygen and hydrogen generator of the present invention also exhibits the above excellent effects.

また、上記発生装置において、電解液を収容するタンクと、このタンク内の電解液を電解部に供給する供給路と、上記電解部から電解液を導出して上記タンクに戻す戻し路とを備え、上記タンク内に磁気吸着手段を配設していると、上記タンク内で、上記磁気吸着手段内を通過する電解液中の磁性スラッジだけでなく、上記磁気吸着手段の近傍に滞留する電解液中の磁性スラッジをも上記磁気吸着手段で吸着除去することができる。   The generator includes a tank that stores the electrolytic solution, a supply path that supplies the electrolytic solution in the tank to the electrolytic unit, and a return path that extracts the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic unit and returns it to the tank. When the magnetic adsorption means is disposed in the tank, not only the magnetic sludge in the electrolytic solution passing through the magnetic adsorption means but also the electrolytic solution staying in the vicinity of the magnetic adsorption means in the tank. The magnetic sludge inside can also be removed by adsorption by the magnetic adsorption means.

特に、上記タンクの底部に供給路の電解液取出口を穿設し、この電解液取出口の近傍部分に上記磁気吸着手段を配設していると、上記タンク中に滞留する多量の電解液中の磁性スラッジがその自重でタンクの底部に沈降しながら、供給路の電解液取出口に向かって流動するため、多量の磁性スラッジを含んだ電解液が上記磁気吸着手段を通り、上記磁気吸着手段で多量の磁性スラッジを吸着除去することができる。   In particular, a large amount of electrolyte staying in the tank is obtained when an electrolyte outlet for the supply passage is formed in the bottom of the tank, and the magnetic adsorption means is disposed in the vicinity of the electrolyte outlet. Since the magnetic sludge inside sinks to the bottom of the tank by its own weight and flows toward the electrolyte outlet of the supply path, the electrolyte containing a large amount of magnetic sludge passes through the magnetic adsorption means, and the magnetic adsorption A large amount of magnetic sludge can be adsorbed and removed by the means.

また、上記発生装置において、電解液を収容するタンクと、このタンク内の電解液を電解部に供給する供給路と、上記電解部から電解液を導出して上記タンクに戻す戻し路と、上記タンク内の電解液を取り出して上記タンク内に戻す循環路とを設け、この循環路に磁気吸着手段を配設していると、上記戻し路の電解液戻し口からタンク内に電解液とともに流入した酸素と水素は、気泡となってタンク内の電解液中を上昇するため、上記循環路には、酸素と水素が流入することがなく、これら酸素と水素が磁気吸着手段内に溜まって爆発等する危険がない。しかも、循環路に磁気吸着手段を配設しているため、循環路から磁気吸着手段を取り外しやすく、磁気吸着手段の交換が容易である。   Further, in the above generator, a tank for storing an electrolytic solution, a supply path for supplying the electrolytic solution in the tank to the electrolytic section, a return path for extracting the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic section and returning it to the tank, A circulation path for taking out the electrolytic solution in the tank and returning it to the tank is provided, and when a magnetic adsorption means is provided in the circulation path, the electrolytic solution flows into the tank from the electrolytic solution return port of the return path. Oxygen and hydrogen are bubbled and rise in the electrolyte in the tank. Therefore, oxygen and hydrogen do not flow into the circulation path, and these oxygen and hydrogen accumulate in the magnetic adsorption means and explode. There is no danger of equality. In addition, since the magnetic adsorption means is disposed in the circulation path, it is easy to remove the magnetic adsorption means from the circulation path, and the magnetic adsorption means can be easily replaced.

また、本発明の水素発生装置において、電解液を収容するタンクと、このタンク内の電解液を電解部に供給する供給路と、上記電解部から電解液を導出して上記タンクに戻す戻し路とを備え、上記供給路と戻し路の少なくとも一方に磁気吸着手段を配設していると、上記電解部に導入しもしくは上記電解部から導出する全ての電解液を磁気吸着手段に通して磁性スラッジを吸着除去することが可能となり、吸着除去効果が大幅に向上する。   Further, in the hydrogen generator of the present invention, a tank for storing the electrolytic solution, a supply path for supplying the electrolytic solution in the tank to the electrolytic section, and a return path for extracting the electrolytic solution from the electrolytic section and returning it to the tank And at least one of the supply path and the return path is provided with a magnetic adsorption means, all the electrolyte solution introduced into the electrolysis section or led out from the electrolysis section is passed through the magnetic adsorption section and magnetized. The sludge can be removed by adsorption, and the adsorption removal effect is greatly improved.

しかも、供給路と戻し路の少なくとも一方に磁気吸着手段を配設しているため、上記一方から磁気吸着手段を取り外しやすく、磁気吸着手段の交換が容易である。   In addition, since the magnetic attracting means is disposed in at least one of the supply path and the return path, the magnetic attracting means can be easily removed from the one and the magnetic attracting means can be easily replaced.

上記の構成において、電解液タンク１に収容された電解液２を供給管５で取り出して電解セル６に供給し、ここで電解液２の一部を電気分解して酸水素混合ガスを発生させたのち電解液２とともに戻し管７に導出し、電解液タンク１に戻す。このとき、上記電気分解時に発生した磁性スラッジを、他のスラッジとともに電解液２中に混合させた状態で戻し管７に導出し、電解液タンク１に戻す。この電解液タンク１では、酸水素混合ガスと電解液２とが気液分離し、酸水素混合ガスは気泡となって電解液２を上昇し、上記電解液タンク１の上部空間に溜められる。そして、ここに溜めた酸水素混合ガスを、送給管８により送給される液化石油ガスと混合させ、熱交換器１０，水分除去タンク１１を経由させたのち製品取出管１２から製品燃料ガスとして取り出す。   In the above configuration, the electrolytic solution 2 accommodated in the electrolytic solution tank 1 is taken out by the supply pipe 5 and supplied to the electrolytic cell 6, where a part of the electrolytic solution 2 is electrolyzed to generate an oxyhydrogen mixed gas. After that, it is led out together with the electrolytic solution 2 to the return pipe 7 and returned to the electrolytic solution tank 1. At this time, the magnetic sludge generated during the electrolysis is led out to the return pipe 7 in a state mixed with the other sludge in the electrolytic solution 2 and returned to the electrolytic solution tank 1. In the electrolytic solution tank 1, the oxyhydrogen mixed gas and the electrolytic solution 2 are separated into gas and liquid, and the oxyhydrogen mixed gas becomes bubbles and rises in the electrolytic solution 2, and is stored in the upper space of the electrolytic solution tank 1. Then, the oxyhydrogen mixed gas stored here is mixed with the liquefied petroleum gas fed by the feed pipe 8, passed through the heat exchanger 10 and the moisture removal tank 11, and then the product fuel gas from the product take-out pipe 12. Take out as.

一方、上記電解液タンク１に流入した（磁性スラッジを含む）スラッジは、上記電解液タンク１の下部（上記戻し管７の電解液戻し口７ａより下側部分）側に沈降する（この電解液タンク１の下部に溜まる電解液２には、酸水素混合ガスの気泡が混入していない）。そして、この（磁性スラッジを含む）スラッジを含む電解液２を循環管１６に導入し、この循環管１６において、電解液２を磁気フィルタ１７の各磁石板２９の中央孔２９ａ（図５参照）に通し、各磁石板２９の磁気により電解液２の磁性スラッジを各磁石板２９の表面に吸着させて電解液２から除去し、電解液タンク１に戻す。   On the other hand, the sludge that flows into the electrolyte tank 1 (including magnetic sludge) settles to the lower part of the electrolyte tank 1 (the lower part of the return pipe 7 from the electrolyte return port 7a) (this electrolyte solution). The electrolytic solution 2 accumulated in the lower part of the tank 1 is not mixed with bubbles of oxyhydrogen gas). Then, the electrolytic solution 2 containing the sludge (including magnetic sludge) is introduced into the circulation pipe 16, and the electrolytic solution 2 is introduced into the central hole 29 a of each magnet plate 29 of the magnetic filter 17 (see FIG. 5). The magnetic sludge of the electrolyte solution 2 is adsorbed on the surface of each magnet plate 29 by the magnetism of each magnet plate 29, removed from the electrolyte solution 2, and returned to the electrolyte solution tank 1.

例えば、電解液２中からスラッジを除去する場合に、メッシュタイプのフィルタ（穴径２０μｍ）を用いると、全体の約６０重量％程度のスラッジしか除去することができないのに対し、この実施の形態の磁気フィルタ１７において、磁束密度４００ｍＴの磁石板２９を２０枚用いることにより、合計で９５重量％のスラッジ（すべて磁性スラッジ）を各磁石板２９に吸着，除去することができる。   For example, when removing sludge from the electrolyte 2, if a mesh type filter (hole diameter 20 μm) is used, only about 60% by weight of sludge can be removed. In the magnetic filter 17, by using 20 magnet plates 29 having a magnetic flux density of 400 mT, a total of 95% by weight of sludge (all magnetic sludge) can be adsorbed to and removed from each magnet plate 29.

上記のように、この実施の形態では、磁気フィルタ１７を用いて電解液２中の磁性スラッジを吸着除去しているため、上記水素発生装置を長時間使用しても、電解セル６内に多数並設されたステンレス製電極板に磁性スラッジが殆ど付着することがなく、良好な電解効率を維持し、酸水素ガスの発生量が低下することがない。しかも、上記各ステンレス製電極板間に磁性スラッジが殆ど溜まることがなく、上記各ステンレス製電極板間で爆発が起こって各ステンレス製電極板が破損等することがない。しかも、電解液２を溜める電解液タンク１内に磁性スラッジが殆ど溜まらないため、液面センサ（フロートタイプ，光使用タイプ等）を用い、上記タンクの液面を正確に測定することができ、誤作動が起こらない。しかも、磁気フィルタ１７では、磁石板２９の磁性により磁性スラッジを吸着除去するため、微小な磁性スラッジをも除去することができる。しかも、磁気フィルタ１７を通過する電解液２中には酸水素混合ガスの気泡が混入していないため、磁気フィルタ１７のケース２１内に上記気泡が溜って爆発するということもなく、安全である。しかも、磁気フィルタ１７は、メッシュ構造のフィルタと比べ、電解液２の通路が広く、長期間にわたって目詰まりすることがない。したがって、磁気フィルタ１７の交換頻度が低くなり、ランニングコストの上昇を防ぐことができるうえ、目詰まりしたまま使用し続けることもなく、上記両ポンプ４，１５等他の機器に悪影響を及ぼすことがない。しかも、磁気フィルタ１７の各磁石板２９は半永久品であるため、コストをかけずにフィルタ性能を回復させることができる。しかも、筒状ケース２１内に複数本のねじ棒２６を配設し、各ねじ棒２６にねじ止めしたナット３０ａ，３０ｂ，３１ａ，３１ｂで各磁石板２９，両固定板２７，２８を固定だけの簡単構造であり、清掃が簡単である。しかも、上記磁気フィルタ１７の蓋体２４にフィルタ本体２５を一体的に固定しているため、蓋体２４を取り外すだけでフィルタ本体２５を取り外すことができ、交換作業が容易になる。 As described above, in this embodiment, the magnetic sludge in the electrolytic solution 2 is adsorbed and removed using the magnetic filter 17, so that even if the hydrogen generator is used for a long time, a large number of them are present in the electrolytic cell 6. without magnetic sludge in juxtaposed stainless steel electrode plate is hardly adhered, and maintain good electrolysis efficiency, the amount of oxyhydrogen gas is not lowered. Moreover, the above-mentioned stainless steel electrode plates without magnetic sludge hardly accumulates, each stainless steel electrode plates in explosion occurred the stainless steel electrode plate is not damaged and the like. Moreover, since almost no magnetic sludge accumulates in the electrolyte tank 1 that stores the electrolyte 2, the liquid level in the tank can be accurately measured using a liquid level sensor (float type, light use type, etc.) No malfunction occurs. In addition, since the magnetic filter 17 attracts and removes the magnetic sludge by the magnetism of the magnet plate 29, it is possible to remove even the minute magnetic sludge. Moreover, since the oxyhydrogen mixed gas bubbles are not mixed in the electrolyte solution 2 passing through the magnetic filter 17, the bubbles do not accumulate and explode in the case 21 of the magnetic filter 17, which is safe. . Moreover, the magnetic filter 17 has a wider passage for the electrolytic solution 2 than a mesh structure filter, and does not clog over a long period of time. Accordingly, the replacement frequency of the magnetic filter 17 is reduced, and an increase in running cost can be prevented. Further, the use of the magnetic filter 17 without clogging continues, and other devices such as the pumps 4 and 15 are adversely affected. Absent. Moreover, since each magnet plate 29 of the magnetic filter 17 is a semi-permanent product, the filter performance can be recovered without cost. In addition, a plurality of screw rods 26 are arranged in the cylindrical case 21, and the magnet plates 29 and the fixing plates 27, 28 are only fixed by the nuts 30a, 30b, 31a, 31b screwed to the screw rods 26. Simple structure and easy to clean. In addition, since the filter body 25 is integrally fixed to the lid body 24 of the magnetic filter 17, the filter body 25 can be removed simply by removing the lid body 24, and the replacement work is facilitated.

In addition, since the magnetic filter 17 is disposed in the return pipe 7, it is possible to remove all the electrolyte 2 derived from the electrolytic cell 6 through the magnetic filter 17 and remove magnetic sludge, etc. Greatly improved.
