Description
本願は、2021年6月30日に日本に出願された特願2021-109275号について優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
(電解システムの構成)
以下、本開示の第一実施形態に係る電解システム100、及び電解装置90について、図1と図2を参照して説明する。図1に示すように、電解システム100は、電解装置90と、陰極側ポンプ1と、陽極側ポンプ2と、陰極側タンク3と、陽極側タンク4と、薬品タンク5,6と、給水タンク7,8と、陰極側ガス貯留部9と、陽極側ガス貯留部10と、電源装置11と、陰極側供給ライン12と、陽極側供給ライン13と、陰極側排出ライン14と、陽極側排出ライン15と、薬品ライン16,17と、給水ライン18,19と、陰極側ガス排出ライン20と、陽極側ガス排出ライン21と、pH計測部31,32と、水素ガス検出部33,34と、を備えている。
次いで、図2を参照して電解装置90の構成について説明する。同図に示すように、電解装置90は、電解槽91と、イオン交換膜40と、陽極41(陽極触媒)と、陰極42(陰極触媒)と、陽極側給電体43と、陰極側給電体44と、セパレータ45と、を有している。
続いて、上記の電解システム100、及び電解装置90の動作について説明する。陰極室52及び陽極室51に水溶液が流入している状態で、陽極41、及び陰極42に電力を供給すると、陰極室52内の水が電気分解される。陰極室52では、正反応として式(1)に示すような反応が起こる。
4H2O + 4e- → 2H2 + 4OH- ・・・(1)
即ち、陰極室52で水(H2O)が電気分解されることにより、水素(H2)と水酸化物イオン(陰イオン、OH-)が発生する。換言すれば、水と陰極側給電体44から供給される電子(e-)とが反応して水素が発生する。陰極室52で生成された水素及び水は、陰極側タンク3に導入されて気液分離される。陰イオンである水酸化物イオンは、イオン交換膜40を通過して陽極室51に移動する。陽極室51では、正反応として式(2)に示すような反応が起こる。
4OH- → O2 + 2H2O + 4e- ・・・(2)
即ち、水酸化物イオンから酸素及び水が生成される。陽極室51で生成された酸素と水は、陽極側タンク4に導入されて気液分離される。
(電解装置の構成)
次いで、図3を参照して本開示の第二実施形態に係る電解装置90の構成について説明する。なお、上記の第一実施形態と同様の構成については同一の符号を付し、詳細な説明を省略する。図3に示すように、電解装置90は、電解槽91と、イオン交換膜40と、陽極41(陽極触媒)と、陰極42(陰極触媒)と、陽極側給電体43と、陰極側給電体44と、セパレータ45と、を有している。
続いて、本形態の電解装置90の動作について説明する。陰極室52及び陽極室51に水溶液が流入している状態で、陽極41、及び陰極42に電力を供給すると、陰極室52内の水が電気分解される。陰極室52では、正反応として式(3)に示すような反応が起こる。
4H2O + 4e- → 2H2 + 4OH- ・・・(3)
即ち、陰極室52で水(H2O)が電気分解されることにより、水素(H2)と水酸化物イオン(陰イオン、OH-)が発生する。換言すれば、水と陰極側給電体44から供給される電子(e-)とが反応して水素が発生する。
ここで,陽極液が中性付近になると陽極室51の主反応として式(4)に示すような反応が起こる。
2H2O → 4H+ + O2 + 4e- ・・・(4)
即ち、陽極室で水(H2O)が電気分解されることにより、酸素(O2)と水素イオン(陽イオン,H+)が発生する。
電流は陽極から陰極に向かって流れているため,陰極で生じた水酸化物イオンは陰極室から陰イオン交換膜を通って,陽イオン交換膜表面まで移動し,陽極で生じた水素イオンは陽極室から陽イオン交換膜を通って,陰イオン交換膜表面まで移動する。
陽イオン交換膜と陰イオン交換膜の界面で出会った水酸化物イオンと水素イオンは中和され,水(H2O)が生成し,陽極室又は陰極室に移動する。
さらには,陰極液のpH上昇,陽極液のpH低下を抑制しつつ,陰極42、及び陽極41のそれぞれで活性化過電圧が適正化される。
その結果、電解装置90の性能を向上させることができる。
(電解装置の構成)
次いで、図4を参照して本開示の第三実施形態に係る電解装置90の構成について説明する。なお、上記の各実施形態と同様の構成については同一の符号を付し、詳細な説明を省略する。図4に示すように、電解装置90は、電解槽91と、イオン交換膜40と、陽極41(陽極触媒)と、陰極42(陰極触媒)と、陽極側給電体43と、陰極側給電体44と、セパレータ45と、を有している。
続いて、本形態の電解装置90の動作について説明する。陰極室52及び陽極室51に水溶液が流入している状態で、陽極41、及び陰極42に電力を供給すると、電解槽内の水が電気分解される。
このような構成で電気分解した場合,膜内部の水(H2O)が水素イオン(H+)と水酸化物イオン(OH-)に分解される現象が知られている。
電流は陽極から陰極に向かって流れているため,膜内部で生じた水酸化物イオンは陰イオン交換膜を通って陽極室まで移動し,膜内部で生じた水素イオンは陽イオン交換膜を通って陰極室まで移動する。
陰極室52では、中性~酸性水溶液の主反応として式(5)に示すような反応が起こる。
4H+ + 4e- → 2H2 ・・・(5)
即ち、陰極室52で水素イオン(H+)が電気分解されることにより、水素(H2)と水素(H2 )が発生する。換言すれば、水素イオンと陰極側給電体44から供給される電子(e-)とが反応して水素が発生する。
ここで,陽極液がアルカリ性の場合,陽極室51の主反応は式(6)に示すような反応が起こる。
4OH- → O2 + 2H2O + 4e- ・・・(6)
即ち、水酸化物イオンから酸素及び水が生成される。
さらには,陰極室にH+が供給されることから,陰極室におけるH+消費によるpH上昇を抑制し,さらには,陽極室にOH-が供給されることから,陽極室におけるOH-消費によるpH低下を抑制しつつ,陰極42、及び陽極41のそれぞれで活性化過電圧が適正化される。
その結果、電解装置90の性能を向上させることができる。
以上、本開示の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳述したが、具体的な構成はこの実施の形態に限られるものではなく、本開示の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計変更等も含まれる。
次に、上記の各実施形態に係る電解装置90の実施例、及び比較例について図5から図8を参照して説明する。
