Title:
ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH03140487
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To inhibit a side reaction and to efficiently produce the aimed substance by electrolyzing a prescribed raw material to produce the aimed reaction product and also recovering a by-product as electric energy without taking out this by-product to the outside. CONSTITUTION:For example, when water is utilized and ozone is generated, a first electrode 2 is made to a positive pole and a second electrode 4 is made to a negative pole. Water is supplied into a production chamber 8 and electrolyzed. Gaseous O2 contg. ozone is produced and taken out from a discharge port 15 together with unreactive water. Hydrogen ion by-produced at this time is transferred to the second electrode 4 via a solid electrolyte 3 and changed into H2 on the second electrode 4 in a production chamber 9. This H2 is rechanged into hydrogen ion on a third electrode 5. Hydrogen ion is transferred toward a fourth electrode 7 via a solid electrolyte 6 and allowed to react with oxygen (or air) supplied from a feed port 18 on the fourth electrode 7 in a production chamber 10. The produced water is taken out from a discharge port 17. Electric energy generated at this time is conducted to the load 14 and effectively consumed. Thereby ozone is effectively produced without taking out a by-product to the outside of the system.
