Description

By reduction of carbon dioxide (CO)2) And/or carbon monoxide (CO) to CxHyO2Process for preparing compounds of formula (I)
Technical Field
The invention relates to the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO)2) And/or carbon monoxide (CO), in particular x > 1, y between 0 and 2x +2 and z between 0 and 2x, in particular highly active hydrogen species generated by electrolysis of water.
Background
At present, ceramic conductive membranes (conductive membranes) are the subject of much research to improve their properties. These films find particularly interesting application in the following fields:
-water electrolysis at high temperature to produce hydrogen,
treatment of carbon-containing gases (CO) by electrochemical hydrogenation2CO) to give a compound of the CxHyOz type (x > 1, y between 0 and 2x +2 and z between 0 and 2 x).
Currently hydrogen (H)2) Seems to be a very interesting energy carrier, inOther substances among petroleum, oils and lubricating oils, the treatment of hydrogen is becoming increasingly important and may eventually advantageously replace petroleum and fossil energy, whose reserves will decrease drastically in the coming decades. However, from this viewpoint, development of an efficient hydrogen production method is required.
Admittedly, numerous sources of information have described numerous methods for the production of hydrogen, but many of these methods have proven to be unsuitable for the large-scale industrial production of hydrogen.
In this context, for example, the synthesis of hydrogen from steam reforming hydrocarbons may be cited. One of the major problems with this synthetic route is that it produces a large amount of CO as a by-product2A greenhouse-like gas. In fact, the production of 1 ton of hydrogen releases 8 to 10 tons of CO2
Thus, two challenges exist in the next few years: new energy carriers (such as hydrogen) are sought that are available and do not pose a threat to the environment, as well as reducing the amount of carbon dioxide.
The technical economic evaluation of industrial processes now takes into account the latter data. However, it is essentially closed, especially in subsurface fractures that do not necessarily correspond to old reservoirs, which in the end may not be without danger.
It seems advisable to reuse this carbon dioxide in the form of compounds useful in the chemical field or in the field of energy production. The energy required for this conversion is electricity, for example from a nuclear source, in particular from a reactor such as a nuclear reactor of the HTR "high temperature reactor" type or an EPR (registered trade mark) european pressurized water reactor.
A promising industrial hydrogen production route is the technique known as steam electrolysis, e.g. at high temperatures (EHT), at intermediate temperatures, typically above 200 ℃, or even at intermediate temperatures between 200 ℃ and 1000 ℃.
Two steam electrolysis production methods are currently known: according to a first method, illustrated in FIG. 1, O is carried2-Electric operated by ions and at temperatures typically between 750 ℃ and 1000 ℃And (4) decomposing the materials.
More specifically, fig. 1 schematically shows an electrolyzer 1 comprising a ceramic membrane 2, O separating an anode 3 and a cathode 4 ensuring the action of an electrolyte2-An ion conductor.
The application of a potential difference between the anode 3 and the cathode 4 causes H on the cathode 4 side2And (4) reducing O steam. This reduction forms hydrogen H on the surface of the cathode 4 according to the following reaction2And O2-Ions (in the Kroen-Weck notation)
Figure BPA00001276366300021
):
Figure BPA00001276366300022
According to the following oxidation reaction, O2-Ionic, more precisely, oxygen vacancy (vacacy)
Figure BPA00001276366300023
Migrate through the electrolyte 2 to form oxygen O on the surface of the anode 32And, electron e is released:
Figure BPA00001276366300024
thus, the first method allows the output from the electrolyzer 1: the anode compartment is made to produce oxygen and the cathode compartment is made to produce hydrogen mixed with steam.
According to a second method, illustrated in figure 2, an electrolyte is used which is capable of carrying protons and which operates at a temperature lower than that required for the first method described above, generally between 200 ℃ and 800 ℃.
More specifically, this figure 2 schematically shows an electrolyser 10 comprising a proton-conducting ceramic membrane 11 separating an anode 12 and a cathode 13 ensuring the action of the electrolyte.
The application of a potential difference between the anode 12 and the cathode 13 causes H on the anode 12 side2And (4) oxidizing O steam. The steam injected into the anode 12 is thus oxidized to form oxygen O2And H+Ions (or in the Kroen-Weck notation)
Figure BPA00001276366300025
) The reaction releases electrons e according to the following equation-
Figure BPA00001276366300031
According to the formula, the formula H+Ions (or in the Kroen-Weck notation)
Figure BPA00001276366300032
) Migrate through the electrolyte 11 to form hydrogen H on the surface of the cathode 132
Figure BPA00001276366300033
Thus, the method provides an output from the electrolyzer 10: the cathode compartment supplies pure hydrogen gas-the anode compartment supplies oxygen mixed with steam.
More specifically, H is caused by the formation of an intermediate compound2The intermediate compound is a hydrogen atom and/or radical hydrogen atom H adsorbed on the surface of a cathode with variable energy and degree of interaction*(or H in Kroen-Weck notationX Electrode for electrochemical cell). Since these substances have high activity, they generally recombine to form hydrogen H according to the following equation2
Figure BPA00001276366300034
The aim of the invention is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide present, for example by reusing it in the form of compounds usable in the chemical field or in the field of energy production.
To achieve this object, the invention proposes a method of electrolyzing water vapour injected under pressure into the anode compartment of an electrolyser having a proton-conducting membrane made of a material into which a substance capable of protonating under steam is introduced, the water injected in the form of steam being oxidized at the anode to produce a protonated substance in the membrane, which migrates within the membrane and is reduced at the cathode surface to a substance capable of reducing carbon dioxide, CO2And/or the active hydrogen atoms of carbon monoxide CO, said process comprising the steps of:
-reacting CO under pressure2And/or CO is injected into the cathode compartment of the electrolyzer;
-CO to be injected into the cathodic compartment by means of the active hydrogen atoms produced2And/or CO reduction, whereby CO2And/or CO form CxHyOz type compounds, where x > 1, y is between 0 and 2x +2, and z is between 0 and 2 x.
As mentioned above, it is understood that active hydrogen atoms refer to hydrogen atoms and/or radical hydrogen atoms H adsorbed on the surface of the cathode with variable energy and degree of interaction*(or H in the Kroen-Weck notation)X Electrode for electrochemical cell)。
The present invention results from the observation that the second method described above produces highly active hydrogen at the cathode of the electrolyzer (in particular hydrogen atoms and/or radical hydrogen atoms adsorbed on the surface of the electrodes).
These highly active hydrogen atoms HX Electrode for electrochemical cellThe reaction on the surface of the cathode is as follows:

FIG. 3 shows, schematically and in a simple manner, an embodiment of the electrolysis device according to the invention for the production of hydrogen and simultaneous CO2And/or electro-reduction of CO.
Detailed Description
The electrolysis apparatus has a structure similar to that of the apparatus of FIG. 2. Thus, the device comprises:
-an anode 32;
-a cathode 33;
-an electrolyte 31;
a generator 34 ensuring a potential difference between said anode 32 and said cathode 33;
-allowing pH at steam pressure2Means 35 for introducing steam into the membrane 31 through the cathode 33 (the relative partial pressure of the steam being greater than or equal to 1 bar and less than or equal to the burst pressure of the assembly, the latter being greater than or equal to at least 100 bar).
According to the invention, the device also comprises means allowing the pressure of the gas (pCO)2And/or CO) by reacting CO2And/or means 36 for introducing CO into the cathode compartment 33.
At the level of the anode 32, the injection of steam is carried out through the device 35, while at the level of the cathode 33, CO2And/or the CO gas is injected through the device 36In (1).
At the anode 32, water is oxidized by releasing electrons, while H+Ion (in)
Figure BPA00001276366300061
Format) was produced according to a method similar to that described for fig. 2.
These H+Ion transport through electrolyte 31, CO2And/or CO type carbon compound in cathode 33 and these H+The ions react at the cathode to form a CxHyOz type compound (x > 1, y between 0 and 2x +2, z between 0 and 2 x) and water.
In particular, the chemical formula of the various reactions can be described as:
Figure BPA00001276366300071
Figure BPA00001276366300072
Figure BPA00001276366300073
Figure BPA00001276366300074
since the nature of the compound formed depends on the process conditions, the complete CxHyOz formation reaction can be described as:
the properties of the CxHyOz compound synthesized at the cathode depend on many process parameters such as gas pressure, operating temperature T1 and the voltage-current pair applied to the cathode:
with respect to gas pressure, CO2And/or the relative pressure of the CO is greater than or equal to 1 bar and less than or equal to the burst pressure of the assembly, the latter being greater than or equal to at least 100 bar.
It should be noted that the term relative pressure herein refers to the introduced pressure relative to atmospheric pressure.
It should be noted that it is possible to use a gas stream containing only steam, but also a gas stream containing part of the steam. Thus, based on this, the term "partial pressure" will refer to the total pressure of the gas stream when the gas stream consists only of steam, but may also be the partial pressure of steam when the gas stream contains gases other than steam.
The total pressure applied to the cathode or anode chamber can be counteracted by the other chamber to have a pressure differential between the two chambers to prevent cracking of the membrane, and if the membrane's resistance to cracking is too low, the electrode support assembly.
As regards the operating temperature T1 of the device, the latter depends on the type of material used for the membrane 31; in any case, the temperature is above 200 ℃ and generally below 800 ℃ or even below 600 ℃. The operating temperature is in accordance with the formula H+Proton assured conductivity.
The operating temperature T1 of the device also depends on the desired properties of the CxHyOz carbon compound, in the range of 200-800 ℃.
In fact, a wide variety of compounds are available, such as methane, methanol, formaldehyde, carboxylic acids (formic acid, etc.) and other compounds with longer chains, which can go all the way to the formation of synthetic fuels.
For example, at the cathode the following reactions can be performed:
Figure BPA00001276366300081
Figure BPA00001276366300082
Figure BPA00001276366300083
Figure BPA00001276366300084
with respect to the voltage-current pair applied to the cathode, it should be noted that the nature of the carbon compounds formed also depends on the voltage. In fact, the more reducing the cathode medium (low redox potential E), the more carbon compounds are hydrogenated, as shown in the following figure (R, for example, is an alkyl group).
Figure BPA00001276366300085
For an advantageous embodiment of these reactions, electrodes with many three contact points, i.e. points or contact surfaces between the ion conductor, the electron conductor and the gas phase, have to be used.
For example, contemplated electrodes are preferably ceramic-metal materials formed from a mixture of ionically conductive ceramics and electronically conductive metals.
However, it is also contemplated to use "all-ceramic" electron conducting electrodes instead of ceramic-metal materials.
It should be noted that a given electrolyte may be O depending on the temperature and pressure of the steam used2-Proton or ion conductors.
However, the use of proton-conducting membranes generates hydrogen (in the form of hydrogen atoms more or less adsorbed on the cathode surface) which is compared to hydrogen H2(or dihydro) is much more active and therefore more active than the conventional hydrogenation process (in H)2 ofIn the presence) of CO is better able to make CO2And CO hydrogenation.
Also, H operating at moderate temperatures is used+Ion-conducting membranes are capable of synthesizing CxHyOz-type complex compounds (x, y and z greater than 1) while using O operating at much higher temperatures2-Conductive membranes preferentially produce CO, which is a product that is stable at high temperatures.
The aim of the invention is to obtain hydrogen generation and/or CO2And/or maximum yield of hydrogenation of CO. For this reason, most of the current used has to intervene in the faraday process, i.e. for the reduction of water and thus the production of highly active hydrogen.
Therefore, the voltage for polarization must be influenced by at least the following factors
Overvoltage at the electrode
Contact resistance at electrode/electrolyte interface
Resistance voltage drop in the material and in particular in the electrolyte
Standard thermodynamic reaction voltage at the electrodes
Herein, the invention proposes the use of proton conducting electrolytes to electrolyze water at high temperature under steam pressure for hydrogen production and CO at the cathode2And/or electro-reduction of CO.
The method comprises the following steps:
-introducing a protonated species into the membrane under the pressure of a gas stream comprising steam;
electrolysis of steam and reduction of gas (CO) in the cathodic compartment2And/or CO).
The protonation of the membrane is promoted by steam under pressure by means of a steam-containing gas stream, and this pressure is advantageously used to obtain the desired conductivity at a given temperature. Such a method is described, for example, in the following documents: french patent application No. 07/55418 filed on 6/1 of 2007.
As described in this application, the applicant observed that an increase in the relative partial pressure of steam resulted in an increase in the ionic conductivity of the membrane.
The correlation between the increase in relative partial pressure and the increase in conductivity enables suitable materials to operate at lower temperatures. In other words, the decrease in conductivity caused by operating at lower temperatures is compensated by an increase in the relative partial pressure of steam.
According to the invention, "highly active" hydrogen is produced at the cathode, which can produce hydrogen (H) in the absence of reducible compounds2) Or in CO2And/or CO (x > 1, y is between 0 and 2x +2, z is between 0 and 2 x).
The proton-conducting membrane is made of a material (e.g. having the general formula AB) that promotes water incorporation1-xDxO3-x/2Doped perovskite material of (a). The material for the anode and cathode is preferably a ceramic-metal material (a mixture of a metal and a perovskite material for the electrolyte). The membrane is preferably selected for O2And H2The gas is impermeable.
In general, the membrane may be of the following type: perovskite vacancies, non-stoichiometric perovskites and/or doped with a compound of the general formula ABO3Perovskite, fluorite, pyrochlore A of2B2X7Apatite Me10(XO4)6Y2Hydroxyapatite Me10(XO4)6O2Structure, hydroxyapatite Me10(XO4)6(OH)2Structure, silicate structure, aluminosilicate (layered silicate or zeolite), silicate grafted with an oxo acid or silicate grafted with a phosphate.
More generally, electrolytes can advantageously be all compounds which act as proton conductors at high or intermediate temperatures, due to their channel or flake structure and/or by the presence of vacancies capable of introducing protonated species of small molecular weight.
Many variations of the invention are possible. The material which is capable of introducing a protonated species in particular may be for O2And H2The gas is impermeable and/or the protonated species may be introduced at a densification level of more than 88%, preferably equal to at least 94%.
In fact, a good compromise must be found between the level of densification which must be as high as possible (in particular with respect to the mechanical strength of the electrolyte and the gas permeation) and the ability of the material to be able to introduce the protonated species. Increasing the partial vapor pressure that promotes incorporation of the protonated species into the film compensates for the increased level of densification.
According to a variant, the material capable of water injection is an oxygen atom-deficient oxide acting as a proton conductor, such as an oxygen atom-vacancy perovskite. Additionally, the oxygen atom deficient oxide may be present at stoichiometric intervals and/or may be doped.
In fact, the non-stoichiometry and/or doping results in the creation of oxygen atom vacancies. Thus, in the case of proton conduction, exposure of the perovskite, which has a stoichiometric spacing and/or is doped (and therefore oxygen deficient) to steam under pressure, induces protonation species to be incorporated into the structure. According to the reaction, a water molecule fills an oxygen vacancy and splits into two hydroxyl groups (or H on an oxide site)+Proton):
it should be noted that materials other than non-stoichiometric and/or doped perovskites may also be used as materials that facilitate the introduction of water and its decomposition in the form of protonated species and/or hydroxyl groups.
For example, there may be mentioned crystallographic structures, such as fluorite structure, pyrochlore A2B2X7Structure, apatite Me10(XO4)6Y2Structure, hydroxyapatite Me10(XO4)6O2Structure, hydroxyapatite Me10(XO4)6(OH)2Structure, silicate, aluminosilicate, layered silicate or phosphate.
It is possible for these structures to be grafted via oxo groups. In fact, all structures with high affinity for water and/or protons can be considered.
