摘要:
An electrolytic cell for producing a brine containing hydrogen peroxide is disclosed. Units for hydrogen peroxide production 3 and units for water electrolysis 2 are alternately arranged in the same electrolytic cell 1. Electrolysis is conducted while supplying hydrogen gas and oxygen gas generating in the respective water electrolysis units to a gas diffusion anode 11 and a gas diffusion cathode 13 of each unit for hydrogen peroxide production, to thereby obtain a brine containing hydrogen peroxide in a high concentration. Furthermore, because the anode of the hydrogen peroxide production units is a hydrogen gas diffusion anode having a reduced oxidizing ability, halogen ions contained in the seawater do not yield harmful halogenated organic substances.
摘要:
A zero-gap type electrolytic cell 11 characterized as having a hydrophilic liquid-permeable material 16 interposed between an ion-exchange membrane 12 and a gas diffusion cathode 17. The reaction product passes through the liquid-permeable material and disperses toward edges of the liquid-permeable material before being withdrawn. Hence, the withdrawal direction for the target reaction product is not opposite the feed direction for the reactant gas.

摘要:
The present invention is intended to prevent the formation of impurities such as chlorate in electrolysis using the ion exchange membrane method, without resorting to the addition of hydrochloric acid to counter the migration of alkali hydroxide from the cathode compartment to the anode compartment. The method of the present invention includes feeding a portion of an aqueous solution of an alkali chloride (as the raw material) into an auxiliary electrolytic cell of the cation exchange membrane type in which the anode is a hydrogen gas electrode, thereby effecting electrolysis to generate hydrochloric acid in the anode compartment, and then feeding the hydrochloric acid-containing aqueous solution of alkali chloride into the main electrolytic cell, thereby neutralizing the alkali hydroxide which migrates from the cathode compartment. This method inherently forms hydrochloric acid in the system, obviating the need for having an additional facility for synthesis of hydrochloric acid, thus permitting the efficient production of alkali hydroxide and chlorine without the addition of hydrochloric acid.
摘要:
The electrolytic cell 1 for producing alkali hydroxide or hydrogen peroxide is divided into the anode compartment 3 and the cathode compartment 4 by the cation exchange membrane 2. The cathode compartment 4 is further divided by the anion exchange membrane 6 into the solution compartment 7 containing a concentrated aqueous solution of alkali hydroxide and the gas compartment accommodating the gas cathode 8. The anion exchange membrane 6 prevents the gas cathode 8 from coming into direct or indirect contact with the aqueous solution of alkali hydroxide. This leads to the extended life of the gas cathode. The above-mentioned arrangement is effective in large-sized electrolytic cells. Thus, the present invention can be applied to industrial electrolysis which has never been achieved with the conventional gas electrode.

The present invention is directed toward an electrolytic ozonier for treating ozone-containing waste gas and a method of treating ozone-containing waste gas using the ozonier, wherein the method includes evolving oxygen and ozone in an anode compartment of an electrolytic cell by electrolysis of water while evolving hydrogen in a cathode compartment; directing the evolved hydrogen into a waste gas treating section that contains a waste gas decomposition catalyst so as to convert the hydrogen to a harmless form by means of the catalyst; bringing the oxygen and ozone into contact with a medium to be treated in an ozone contactor so as to treat the medium; and subsequently directing waste gas containing oxygen and ozone produced as a result of treatment of the medium into the waste gas treating section where they are brought into either direct or indirect contact with the catalyst so that the ozone in the waste gas is converted into a harmless form.
