It is known that alkali metal chloride electrolysis in a cell having a permselective membrane of cationexchanger type, gives rise to chlorine, hydrogen and a pure alkali metal hydroxide as compared to cells with diaphragms which act as percolators and which give chlorine, hydrogen and a diluted mixture of alkali metal hydroxides and chlorides.
The use of the large quantities of alkali metal hydroxide produced has always been a troublesome problem. In common practice, thehydroxide has been drawn off, used as it is or neutralized, this neutralization operation being a long and expensive one. A process has been sought for utilizing the hydroxide in the electrolysis cell in order to obtain directly and at a smaller cost, a more valuable product. Thus, a current of carbon dioxide has been introduced into the cathodic compartment of the cell in order to react with the pure sodium hydroxide and give directly sodium carbonate. French Pat. No. 1,094,082 filed on Dec. 16, 1953 describes a process of this type, comprising two permselective membranes delimiting a compartment in which carbon dioxide is introduced in an aqueous medium. This interesting method has the disadvantage however of leading to diluted products which mustthereafter be concentrated which is an expensive operation.
The process according to the present invention, which is much simpler, is based upon the utilization of only one cationic permselective membrane and of an anode having special characteristics, the conjunction of those two elements yielding chlorine and hydrogen,
both in very pure state, and pure alkali metal phosphates in concentrated solution.
The process accordingto the present invention comprises introducing in forced circulation into the anodic compartment an aqueous alkali metal chloride solution, while concentrated phosphoric acid or a concentrated alkali metal phosphate aqueous solution is fed in forced circulation into the cathodic compartment of an electrolysis cell, the cell having a cationic permselective membrane placed between the two electrodes and an anode which is of a porous nature in order to allow electrolyte percolation, and which presents an electrochemical activity only on the face opposite to the membrane.
Because solutions are fed in forced circulation in each compartment, the products resulting from electrolysis and from acid-hydroxide reaction are removed continuously from phosphoric the cell. Thus on the anodic side, a forced flow of gaseous chlorine and of unreacted alkali metal chloride solution goes out, while on the cathodic side a forced flow of gaseous hydrogen and of alkali metal phosphates as concentrated aqueous solution goes out, the gases and liquids being then separated.
pensive operation. This dilution may even be suppressed by a convenient choice of concentration ratio of the two liquid flows.
The permselective membrane is a strong acid cationexchanger-membrane the material of which is chosen from those polymers presenting a good resistance to chlorine and alkaline agents, especially perfluorinated polymers. Substitution resistance of such a membrane :in 0.6 N potassium chloride is between 0.2 and 8 ohm.cm according to the cases, and with a selectivity greater than percent.
Because of the percolation coming from the porous nature of the anode, the anodic compartment is divided into twodistinct portions; the properly anodic portion in which chlorine escapes on the side of the anode active face, and the portion between the anode and the membrane in which the electrolyte continuously sweeps the membrane, which is practically free from reaction products which escape on the active opposite face of the anode. Percolation avoids an undesirable return of chlorine on the membrane, which could be a nuisance during a long operation. The chlorine produced is not. contaminated with any other element; it is practically pure and contains a very small quantity of oxygen. There is no further-formation of oxidized derivatives of chlorine, especially chlora'tes. The anode is a metal anode perforated with fine holes, made of a metal which may be titanium, tantalum, zirconium, niobium or, their alloys and covered only on one face with an active coating which may be platinum, iridium, palladium, ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, their alloys or their oxides. The cathode is a metal cathode which may be perforated.
The principle of a forced circulation of anolyte and catholyte, allows a degassing, outside the cell, of gases formed during electrolysis. Thus this apparatus avoids the various overpressures observed during a natural degassing. Consequently there is no degasing internalcompartment; the mixtures of gas/liquid are separated in external degassers, some liquidl elements being recycled after purification.
The 'problems of oxidizing corrosion of the permselective membrane are quite reduced becausephosphoric acid is present in the cathodic compartment. The membrane is in contact with an acid or weakly basic medium, contrary to the classical case in which concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is present in the cathodic compartment.
The solution of alkali metal chlorides preferably has a concentration near to saturation. For example, there may be used, in the case of sodium chloride solution, an industrial brine containing 300-315 g NaCl/l. The solutionmay also be continuously resaturated; However it is possible to use solutions having a lower concentration for example down to 50 g/l.
The phosphoric acid used is the crude acid coming from treatment of natural phosphate by the wet process, and containing various cationic impurities. Since this acid is continuously introduced into the cathodic compartment, some of the metals present are reduced by the escaping hydrogen and precipitate in the from of phosphates in which the metal displays alow valency, which facilitates continuous filtration and a substantial recovery of P,O,, in the form of alkali metal phosphates. A complete removal of chromium and vanadium results, such products being especially troublesome in the further preparation of white alkali metal tripolyphosphates. There is removed from the cell a continuous flow of gaseous hydrogen, precipitated metal phosphates, which are continuously filtered thereafter, and a concentrated solution of alkali metal phosphates. There is practically no pollution of the phosphates by sodium chloride, nor of sodium chloride by phosphates, which eliminates'the purification and concentration circuits required in the classical processes.
instead of crude wet process phosphoric acid, it is also possible to introduce, as a variant, pure concentrated phosphoric acid or concentrated solutions of alkali metal phosphates having a given ratio Na/P. There is produced in this last case concentrated alkali metal phosphates having a higher ratio Na/P. In a general way, the P content of the solution may vary between 200 and 500 g/l.
The electrical energy used in the process according to the present invention is lower than that necessary for the production of the same quantity of chlorine in diaphragm cells. Electrical yield is greater than 99.5 percent.
Chlorine free from hydrogen (0.02 percent) contains less than 0.5 percent of oxygen.
Hydrogen is pure.
The alkali metal phosphates produced contain less than 0.3 percent of the corresponding chloride.
There is no phosphorus loss by migration into the anolyte (less than parts per million in equilibrium state).
The attached drawing will allow a better understanding of how the invention may be put into practice. In the single FIGURE, brine containing the recycled salt thru line 8 and a fresh quantity of salt thru 9 arrives continuously in cell 10 thru line 11 between the membrane l2 and the anode 14.
Brine sweeps the membrane 12 which lets the sodium ions pass and electrolysis is conducted on the platinum covered active side 16 of the perforated titanium anode 14. Because of the circulation, very pure chlorine is removed at 18 at the same time as the unreacted brine. The mixture passes thru one or several degassers 20 which completely remove chlorine, which is sent to storage and brine is recycled thru 24 and a purifier 25. Phosphoric acid is fed continuously thru 26 into the cathodic compartment 28 consisting of a perforated nickel cathode 30. Because of the circulation, hydrogen, concentrated alkali metal phosphates and the precipitate of other metal phosphates are removed continuously thru 32, then pass into a degasser 34. Hydrogen is sent to storage thru 36, the precipitated phosphates are filtered at 38 and removed at 40 and pure alkali metal phosphates are obtained at 42 as a concentrated aqueous solution.
The cell described in this way is a monoelement cell. Several monoelements may be mounted in series, according to techniques similar to that of filter-presses.
The following examples will give, in a non limitative way, illustrations of the invention.
