Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the field of electrochemistry, and in particular to the technical field of electrochemical utilization of carbon monoxide. Background Art
[0002] In the field of chemical engineering and technology, electrolysis is an important chemical process, which is widely used in the preparation and purification of various substances. Among them, CO electrolysis is an important reaction that can produce a variety of useful chemicals, such as acetic acid. In the electrolysis process, the choice of electrodes and catalysts has an important influence on the efficiency of the reaction and the purity of the product. In addition, acetic acid in the field of organic chemistry is an important chemical raw material, which is widely used in various chemical reactions and industrial production.
[0003] At present, most of the production of acetic acid by CO electrolysis adopts the cationic membrane electrolysis process, and the electrolysis product is acetate, and acetic acid cannot be directly obtained. And there is no industrial report on the production of acetic acid by CO electrolysis.
[0004] In the existing technology, the main method for preparing acetic acid by CO electrolysis is to prepare potassium acetate by cathode electrolysis, and then obtain acetic acid by sulfuric acid acidification. The advantage of this method is that CO can be effectively converted into acetic acid, but its disadvantage is that the purity of the product is not high, often containing a large amount of potassium sulfate, and the device occupies a large area and has high energy consumption. Another means is anion membrane electrolysis or solid electrolyte + cation membrane + anion membrane electrolysis process. The electrolysis product can be a pure acetic acid aqueous solution, but the low life of the anion membrane limits its industrialization possibility.
[0005] Invention patent CN113913932B provides a polycrystalline copper nanomaterial and its preparation method and application. The polycrystalline copper nanomaterial has grain boundaries and can be highly selectively converted into acetic acid during the electrocatalytic carbon monoxide reduction process. It uses a membrane electrode solid electrolyte battery and can maintain stable performance for 140 hours at a current of 250mA to prepare acetic acid aqueous solution. However, the problem caused by the use of a solid electrolyte structure is that the cathode liquid chamber OH - The concentration is three times that of acetic acid. The life span of the anion membrane limits its stable operation, and the strong alkaline environment affects the chemical stability of the electrode.
[0006] Invention patent CN113881955B provides a novel copper-palladium alloy nano-electrocatalyst that can efficiently convert carbon monoxide into acetate. Although it uses a membrane electrode electrolysis device, its product is acetate, and acetic acid is not produced.
[0007] Invention patent CN116970962A provides a method for preparing multi-carbon products by high-voltage electrocatalytic conversion of carbon monoxide, the product of which is a C2 product. However, it uses CO to be pressurized and dissolved in an electrolyte to prepare the C2 product in a KOH electrolyte, wherein the acetic acid selectivity is less than 50%, and the product is acetate, and no acetic acid is prepared.
[0008] The existing technology for preparing acetic acid by CO electrolysis has the following major problems: First, acetic acid prepared by solid electrolyte structure has a short anion membrane life due to the strong alkaline environment in the cathode chamber, making it difficult to operate stably; second, most of the existing processes prepare acetate rather than acetic acid, and there is no mature acetic acid preparation process. Finally, in the existing technology, the Faraday efficiency of CO electrolysis to prepare acetic acid / acetate is not high, and most of the products are C2 mixtures rather than pure acetic acid / acetate.
