DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention - a group of inventions which are combined into a single unit and are aimed at obtaining raw materials from sea water by physico-chemical processes, which is exposed to seawater, continuously moving two technological lines.

The main objective of the present invention - the replacement of the entire planet fossil fuels Land (gas, petroleum products, coal, peat) on clean hydrogen fuel (pure hydrogen), but also to provide fresh water in industry and agriculture, but also the raw material for chemical and metallurgical industry.

We considered below full analog technology is none, t. To. In the literature there is no description of the process by which in a single and continuous technological cycle of sea water is released once a range of products listed above.

However, the manufacturing process includes many technical solutions, based on which, when combined in a single process, and created this invention.

1. In the prior art device for separating seawater for catholyte and anolyte demineralized water by a magnetic field with the magnetic flux is perpendicular to the water flow movement (SU 361981, 13.12.1972, C 02 F 1/48). However, our invention is structurally different from the present invention.

2. In the prior art and a device for magnetization of the magnetic field of a circular water described Klassen VI "Magnetization of water systems", Moscow: Chemistry, 1985, s.157-158. This invention solves the problem only by half, because It does not share water with anolyte - demineralized water - catholyte.

3. It is known that the interaction of the molten lithium and water is accompanied by an explosion, in addition molten lithium is a fire hazard substance ( "Chemistry and technology of rare and dispersed elements" KA Bolshakov, Part I, manual for schools, M .: Higher School, 1976, p.8, 75).

In the present invention, the process and structure of the hydrogen generator exclude conducting chemical reactions produce hydrogen in the volatile embodiment.

4. However, it is known that the conductivity of dielectrics, as is the water vapor rises sharply and impact ionization begins at high voltages (Short Chemical Encyclopedia, M .: Soviet Encyclopedia, 1961, p. 1184). On the separator grid-supplied power converter, which eliminates the impact ionization.

5. The apparatus for producing hydrogen by thermochemical decomposition of water containing a reaction zone and a heat exchanger (RU 204032, B 01 J 37/00, 27.07.95, 110) The closest analogue of claim. 4 of the hydrogen generator can be considered. This is a very different process, and it can not compete with the subject invention.

Solving the problem requires new high technologies, providing great speed of reaction between components reaction. The present invention is based on four specially developed methods that provide high rates of reaction between the reactants, up to the instantaneous reaction rate - neutralization of electric charges ions, without hydration shells to form the desired product.

For each method it has developed a special device, which passes the appropriate physico-chemical process.

In addition, the generator has input connections anolyte and catholyte into the annulus of the reaction zone and the vapor withdrawal connections catholyte and anolyte provided with electrical heaters.

An apparatus for continuous processing of seawater with separation therefrom demineralized water, hydrogen, oxygen, metals and other compounds is based on two processes, comprising the following process steps.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL PROCESS

LiCl -> Li + + Cl - ( 1)

b) separating the seawater into separator ions under the influence of the magnetic field takes place as follows:



Stage 2. Ways to use the anolyte and catholyte, obtained after separation from seawater desalinated water.

Ways to use anolyte and catholyte are as follows:

a) the anolyte and catholyte after ions exit the separator are mixed, and the mixed solution is sent back to the ocean, where it is up to the initial dilution of the salt concentration in the ocean;

b) the mixed solution in paragraph (a) shall be sent to the landfill for natural evaporation of water (for countries with a hot climate) in order to obtain a natural sea salt and further sending it for processing;

c) the catholyte and anolyte for individual pipelines are directed to deep processing enterprises in the chemical and metallurgical in order to obtain the desired products (individual, metal salts).

The first process is entered only desalinated water, and output - hydrogen and oxygen.

1. Separator ions and industrial power dividers ions.

Figure 1 is a diagram of ions and the separator block diagram industrial separators ions.

Note: on the sheets with drawings of figures of the text title of the invention is reduced to "A device for continuous processing of sea water ..."

The separator is designed to separate ions of sea water under the influence of a magnetic field into three fractions: anolyte - demineralized water - catholyte.

Separator ions is a conduit disposed in the magnetic field, and further comprises a pre-magnetization of the water section of a circular magnetic field generated by the coil of an electromagnet equipped with a device for the tangential entry of water, and the separation section of pre-magnetized water by a magnetic field with a magnetic flux perpendicular to the direction of movement of water It is formed as a central pipe, through which slit the diameter of the two smaller diameter conduit connected to output anolyte and catholyte.

PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRST SECTION

In the inlet 23 (Figure 1) is fed tangentially sea water with a salt concentration of 3.5 wt.%. Then 3.5% 3.5% cations and anions / with respect to monovalent metals) will be formed during dissociation 3.5% salt.

When the water flow flows flowing in a turbulent regime, it intersects the magnetic lines of force generated by the solenoid. Thus, as shown in (I, pp. 47-50, 58), electrodynamic movement of ions in a magnetic field gives rise to a magnetic field microwhirlwinds coverage area, which leads to mikroturbulizatsii system and as a consequence of this phenomenon increases the concentration of ions near the conduit walls , resulting in density nonuniformity in the flow (flow in the middle density is less than that of the pipeline wall).

Increasing the residence time of the flow in the magnetic field leads to the fact that the central part of the ion flow occurs becomes smaller and their concentration in the transition layer existing between laminar and turbulent flow movements in the pipeline.

Thus, the magnetized seawater stream exiting the preliminary magnetization seawater section and then entering the separation zone seawater with anolyte - demineralized water - catholyte has at the area of ​​the circle (the cross section YY 1) heterogeneous structure:

- The bulk of the ions (cations and anions) is grouped in the hydrodynamic boundary layer turbulent flow, i.e. at the inner surface of the pipeline, the resulting ion concentration is increased to 17.5% in the surface layer (as calculated), and the ions move along with the flow in one direction (1, c.4);

- A central part of the minimum content of the ion flux, because most of the ions moved to the inner wall of the pipe due to the combined action of the turbulent flow and the magnetic field microwhirlwinds.

The total ion concentration at the outlet of the first section to the total volume remains unchanged, but increases at the inner wall of the pipeline.

PRINCIPLE OF THE SECOND SECTION

The basis of the second section of the separator on the principle of separation of ions of opposite charges in a conductor moving perpendicularly to the magnetic flux (this is exactly what happens in the electrical generators). The theory of this process is given in (2 s.140-142).

The role of metal ions separator performs pre-magnetized conductor electrolyte (sea water), which moves between the two poles of the second magnet (see FIG. 1) perpendicular to the magnetic flux and crossing it, which leads to the separation of ions in different directions, ie . negative ions will move to the left, positive - to the right.

Since ions exiting from the first section of the flow are at the inner surface of the pipeline, the flow cross-section will be of a circular ring (see. Incisions YY and B in Figure 1), which are located on the periphery of the ions, and in the central part of the ring - desalinated water. In these conditions, due to combined effects of the turbulent flow and the magnetic field in the second section microwhirlwinds separator ions will be easier to split the ions in a narrow zone at the inner wall of the pipe, and to transmit according to their electrical charge into the corresponding slots 7 and 11.

The lateral pipes 12 and the separator 5 is no magnetic field the ions, so the ions included in the side tube exit back are prevented and the flow of ions are removed from the separator to the appropriate process apparatus. The concentration of cations and anions at the outlet of the ion separator is 17.5% respectively.

For industrial purposes ion separator 10, discussed above, are combined in block ion separators, as shown in Figure 1. Then the performance of a single block delimiters ions reach

80 x 10 = 800 t / h of demineralized water,

where 80 - Performance of splitter ions per hour.

2. Separator cations and anions from the hydration shell of the converter and the electric charges on the ions (separator-converter).

The process of separation with ion hydration shell is carried out in the unit - separator cations and anions from the hydration shell, combined with a converter of electric charges on the ions.

Figure 2 shows a separator-converter.

Converter-separator for separating the hydrate shell of cations and anions, and neutralizing the electrical charge on them to obtain a lithium metal, oxygen and reaction water.

Separator-converter is a system, which includes

1. Installation for supplying high voltage DC on the conical mesh separator cations and anions from the hydration shell.

2. Separator cations and anions from the hydration shell, ie, apparatus for cations and anions.

3. Neutralizer electrical charges on cations and anions, i.e. obtaining target products Li, O 2 and H 2 O, including low-voltage direct current generator.

1. Installation for supplying high voltage DC on the conical mesh separator cations and anions from the hydration shell.

This unit is designed to create a bevel on the grids of high electric field strength that can repel the charged grid like charges, located on the cationic or anionic, ie, this field are repelled by grid cations or anions, respectively, but passes through the mesh steam.

The basis for the creation of the installation is a unit AF-90-200, designed to clean gas from impurities on a commercial scale.

This unit has a maximum voltage of 90,000 V and a nominal current of 200 mA transformer secondary winding (8, s.742). The circuit shown in Figure 2.

The study is based on the principle of electrical installations gas cleaning (4 s.251-255), but it made the following change:

- A continuous flow of purified gas moving in the positive and negative charges on the discharge and collecting electrodes, undergoes ionization as described in (4 s.251-255), here we use the inert gas, argon Ar ionization potential with 15.755 eV according to reaction 0 Ar -> Ar + (14, c.250).

- The inert gas is in a closed volume, i.e. in a sealed bottle.

The principle of the installation work (see FIG. 2).

With the help of the voltage regulator 26, booster transformer 27, a high voltage transformer 28 on the discharge electrode 29 and collecting electrodes 30, are in the ionizer 31, a high voltage DC 90000, and in the power of 200 mA of current. As a result, there is a "crown" between the discharge and collecting electrodes. In the event of "crown" in an airtight cylinder of the ionizer 31 are ionized rarefied gas of Ar and with the electrons and positively charged cations of Ar +, under the influence of an electric field of positively charged cations of Ar + will move the discharge electrode and neutralize it, and the negatively charged electrons will move to the collecting electrode and and neutralize it. As a result, Ar gas ionization external electric circuit is closed and electrical current is movement of the entire chain. Thus on the conical grid 40, the positive "+" electric charge, and a conical mesh 48 - negative "-" electrical charge.

2. Separator cations and anions from the hydration shell, ie, apparatus for cations and anions.

Separator cations and anions from the hydration shell (abbreviated - separator) designed for cations and anions, bearing the electric charge (Li + and OH -), and their subsequent submission to the converter of electric charges on the ions.

PRINCIPLE stripper

For normal operation of the separator of ions from the hydration shell in the first place must be observed the following:

- If couples catholyte or anolyte supplied inside the conical nets 40 and 48 directly from the hydrogen generator, the part of the couple catholyte or anolyte, having a high speed downstream (P = 10 6 Pa, T = 472 K), slip the mesh cone and are paired ions will not be released from the hydrated membrane and enter into the guide cylinders 41 and 47 and further to the converter, where the steam enters into chemical reaction with the formed Li, and this premature reaction and it can not be allowed. At breakthrough vapor anolyte from some parts of the anolyte is not formed by ion of OH -, causing side reactions to a spherical electrode, which is not desirable. Only one way out - to slow entering the steam separator catholyte and anolyte to a minimum, ie, speed up the passage of the steam through the grid and joining the pair in a pair of receiver 50. The steam rate can adjust the speed at which the condensation in the heat exchanger of the absorption refrigeration machine where steam from the receiver 50 is fed to a further process cycle - the system must be supported by a permanent solution, which is formed by condensation steam on the cold wall of the heat exchanger in an absorption chiller.

Process is as follows

From the hydrogen generator (see Fig. 3), the separator serves to different pipelines vaporous catholyte and anolyte with a temperature of 473 K, respectively, to the nozzles 33 and 34. Further, steam is divided into two equal parts and is supplied in spray nozzles 38 and 51 from quencher pair are in the speed 37 and 52. the jet of steam nozzles additionally sprayed into many tiny streams, thereby increasing the area of ​​the collision of two jets of steam, with the same energy. In a collision of both flow velocity is damped to the optimum value, ie, steam velocity to pass through the conical mesh 40 and 48 to the cold heat exchanger grid in an absorption refrigerating machine.

By the vacuum produced by condensation of steam vapor catholyte or anolyte, respectively, from the interior of conical mesh rushes through the mesh cell 40 or 48 to couple the receiver 50 and from there through the pipe 62 to the heat exchanger of the absorption chiller (see. FIG. 4) where the steam condenses and condensate water is directed back into the production cycle.

The positive electric charge on the whole surface of the grid 40 and the negative electric charge on the grid 48 does not react with water vapor, which is an insulator, and therefore steam flows freely through the grid, and cations such as Li +, due to the high temperature of 473 K and a pressure of 10 6 Pa while without the hydration shell, coming to the net, having a positively charged electric field repel Li + cation to the center of the cone-shaped nets, because like charges repel each other, but simultaneously, with the movement of the cations toward the center of the conical grid they move down to the negatively charged electrode (molten lithium on which an electric current flows), as unlike charges attract each other. Cations or anions exist only in high-voltage electric field under vacuum.

On leaving the conical mesh concentrated Li + cations in the cationic circular beam by the electric field of high voltage, includes a guide cylinder and then a cationic beam falling continuously on the molten lithium, carrying an electric current, ie electrons, due to which there is a reaction, and .

Similarly, it is the process by an ion



The neutralization of the electric charges on the ions and is a continuation of phase 4, held in the unit-separator cations and anions from the hydration shell, combined with a converter of electric charges on the ions (see FIG. 2).

The process of neutralization of electric charges held in the converter, which is the third component of the unit - separator cations and anions from the hydration shell.

Neutralizer designed for instant electrochemical reactions with ions, such as Li + and OH -.

The neutralizer is a system consisting of a DC low voltage generator 61 and the outer part of the generator circuit, which includes

- A metal ball contact 60;

- Track 63 of molten lithium;

- Guide cylinder 47 to supply the contact ion Li +;

- Guide cylinder 60 to supply the contact ion OH -;

- A heat exchanger 58 for cooling the O 2 and H 2 O vapor;

- A pump 65 for pumping molten lithium in the hydrogen generator.

From the diagram described above it is evident that flowing in the converter process - is not electrolysis process, as no electrolyte, and hence no movement of the ion generator electrolyte through an external circuit. It is a process of neutralization of electrically charged particles, which occurs due to the impact of joining the anion and cation of electrons, ie, going interion transfer electrons from anions, cations, and the anion is oxidized, and the cation is restored.

The operating principle of converter (circuit of Figure 2).

When neutralizing the electrical charges on cations and anions it is carried out the principle of inter-ion electron transfer from anion to cation by an external circuit generator 61 VDC (abbreviated - the generator).

This principle to consider reactions (9) and (10).

According to reaction (10) by oxidation four hydroxides OH - generated O 2 and H 2 O and exempt



According to reaction (9) for the restoration of the four lithium cations Li + required



Thus, when co-host reactions (9) and (10) has a complete balance on the electrons, ie, four electrons freed by the reaction (10) and four electrons is expended to conduct reaction (9).

TECHNICAL this issue is resolved FOLLOWS

In the external oscillator circuit 61 connects the contact ball 60, which passes the reaction (10).

To touch on the ball 60 has passed the reaction (10) must be continuously withdrawn electrons are isolated on a spherical contact 60 can randomly run off the ball contacts 60 in all directions. This can not be allowed. Therefore, after the ball contact 60 carrying an electric current produced by the generator of direct current with the strict direction of motion of the electrons from the clamp "+" to the terminal "-" of the external circuit of the DC generator. Electrons emanating generator "entrain" and electrons for an obtained at passage 60 at the contact of the reaction (10).

Thus, for electrons formed by the generator 61 in an amount of Q 1 and flowing through the inner and outer generator circuits, further to contact the external circuit 60 "pouring" the electrons formed by the reaction of (10) in an amount of Q 2.

The total number of electrons flowing through the external circuit after the contact 60 is equal to Q 1 + Q 2. This is the number of electrons generated by the generator direction of motion of the electrons in the outer and inner circuits (from "+" to "-"), and shall go in this direction, on the other can not be.

Electrons reaching the contact 63 in an amount of Q 1 + Q 2, react (9) for conducting electrons which is consumed in an amount of Q 2, and thus will be observed conservation of energy and mass.

The remaining contact 63 after passing electrons in an amount of Q 1 received through the clip "-" back to the generator internal circuit and begins the cycle repetition.

Contact 63 is a bath of molten lithium on which an electric current flows, that is, electrons. Restore cation Li + becomes a lithium atom and then melts. With the accumulation of molten lithium, he appears out of the bath.

From the above it follows that the DC generator 61 is a carrier of electrons from the reaction (10) to the reaction (9). The reaction products of O 2 and H 2 O via a conduit 59 and heat exchanger 56 are derived from the converter:

- Oxygen compressor station;

- The water is recycled.

In this process, an external source of energy is only a DC generator 61 which provides the direction of movement of the electrons obtained by the reaction (10).

3. The hydrogen generator.

3. Driving the hydrogen generator: 67 - Hydrogen Generator for the first production line, working on lithium metal; 68 - fitting for vapor withdrawal to a set temperature of the catholyte; 69 - fitting for the withdrawal of anolyte at a predetermined temperature; 70 - heat-insulating body of the hydrogen generator; 71 - partition (two) separates the anolyte from the catholyte in the annulus of the reaction zone; 72 - feeder ring hydrogen generator (condensate + desalinated water); 73 - nozzle; 74 - pipeline for supplying the reagent (water or molten lithium) in the nozzle; 75 - molten lithium distributor for the nozzles; 76 - theoretical trajectory spray water nozzles or molten lithium; 77 - reaction zone; 78 - feeder ring with molten lithium hydrogen generator; 79 - fitting for entering the anolyte into the annulus of the reaction zone; 80 - zone cooling of the reaction products; 81 - the heat exchanger; 82 - the pipeline for removal of hydrogen; 83 - outlet for removing the aqueous LiOH solution; 84 - Two pipe to enter the cold coolant; 85 - connection for the withdrawal of the heated coolant; 86 - fitting for the input of catholyte into the annulus of the reaction zone; 87 - inlet for introducing the molten lithium feeder ring; 88 - water dispenser according nozzles; 89 - fitting for introducing water into the annular feeder; 90 - electric heater catholyte vapor to a predetermined temperature; 91 - electric heater anolyte vapor to a predetermined temperature.

Hydrogen generator for producing hydrogen according to the reaction (3):

2Li + 2H 2 O -> H 2 + 2LiON (3).

Reaction of alkali or alkaline earth metals with water is carried out in a heterogeneous phase.

If the process is carried out in a heterogeneous system between the reagents are in different phases, the reaction is carried out at the interface. Then the number of reaction events not related to unit volume and unit surface and the dimension w (reaction rate) is measured as mol / s · cm 2. Examples of such reactions can be many combustion processes the solids medium in gaseous oxidant (O 2, Cl 2, etc.) or by the action of water on the active metal (6, s.205-206).

It follows that to create high speed of reaction (3) it is necessary to create a large surface in the molten lithium and water introduced into the reaction zone.

As this question is solved below.

The hydrogen generator is

1. The reaction chamber 77, the chilled catholyte and anolyte. It takes the interaction with lithium for reactions with water (3). Due to the reaction heat and electric heaters 90 and 91 of the catholyte and anolyte to evaporate and the temperature 473 K and a pressure of 10 6 Pa ions are directed from the separator for the hydration shell of the ions (step 4).

2. The cooling zone of the reaction products, where the heat exchangers 81, cooled by cold water, the reaction products are cooled to a temperature of 373 K.

3. The density of saturated water vapor equal to 0.5977 g / l (at 100 o C and 1 atm) (see 8, s.607.); hydrogen density of 0.0899 g / l (at 0 o C and 1 atm) (sm.8, 620.); Hydrogen 7 times lighter than water vapor (0.5977: 0.0899 = 7), so it will be easily separated from the steam and condensate in the conduit 82 to leave.

4. Hydrogen and easily separates from the aqueous solution of LiOH and the conduit 82 is discharged from the hydrogen generator.

5. The alkaline solution is directed through pipe 83 to a centrifuge for separating solid impurities, i.e. wastewater treatment filtration is carried out.

The principle of operation of the hydrogen generator is as follows.

At eighteen nozzles 73 at the same time served

- 9 nozzles molten lithium from step 5;

- Water nozzles 9 (condensate and demineralized water) and with 1 step 7.

Due to increased pressure in liquid supply nozzles occurs twisting fluid at the nozzles and outlet nozzles spraying lithium and water into tiny droplets which, moving toward each other and collide instantaneously react with each other (Li 2 O), forming a reaction according to (3) of lithium hydroxide and hydrogen.

Due to the thermal effect of the reaction, the unreacted water is converted into steam.

Excess heat left after heating the catholyte and anolyte is withdrawn from reaction zone 77 into heat exchangers 81. The heat exchanger tubes flowing water, chilled to +1 o C. The heated heat transfer fluid in vapor form through the pipe 85 is welded to an absorption chiller to provide cooling needed for the conduct of the process.

Define how many times the hydrogen is diluted by water vapor in the hydrogen generator. (Conditionally make payment without reduction to normal conditions).

1. The amount of hydrogen, which is obtained from 14 kg of Li according to reaction (3) -22,400 m 3 of hydrogen (see. Material calculation).

2. In the evaporation 18 g of H 2 O generated 22.4 liters of water vapor, while in terms of the m-mol obtain

18 m-mole - 22400 m 3 of steam

295 m-mol - x

x = 367111 m 3 of water vapor.

Dilution with water vapor of hydrogen in the hydrogen generator will be

367 111: 22400 = 16.4 times.

Thus, when the hydrogen dilution water vapor 16.4 times exclude the possibility of explosion of hydrogen in the hydrogen generator.

The nozzle 73 is a nozzle with a continuous spray cone (10, p. 77), it is used in cases where full coverage requires a certain surface, and preferably have a uniform distribution of the drops.

The diameter of the outlet nozzles 0.5-50 mm, productivity 0,04-750 l / min.

4. Upgraded absorption chiller.

The reaction heat can be taken away by cooling the reaction mixture with water from the pond. But the water consumption would be enormous, and, in addition, the ambient temperature change.

The most expedient to cool the reaction mixture is the use of an absorption chiller, where almost all of the extracted heat is absorbed by the hydrogen generator of the absorption machine for production of cold and isolation of vodnoammiachnogo ammonia solution.

Generator 93 (Figure 4) is used to vaporize the good vodnoammiachnogo solution - is produced following modernization.

As the coolant used to vaporize the ammonia vapor entering the heat exchanger 106 from the hydrogen generator (3), and steam from the separator ion (FIG. 2). Formed after the heat exchange in the absorption condensate is sent to the machine in the appropriate amounts in a hydrogen generator for producing hydrogen reacting further condensation in the evaporator 96 is cooled to approximately +1 o C and cooling water heat exchanger 106 is directed to a hydrogen generator for withdrawal of heat from the reaction mass, m. e. water on the circuit passes a closed cycle without leaving the absorption machine.

Included in the machine circuit capacitor 94, throttling valves 95 and 99, an evaporator 96, an absorber 98, a pump 101, a heat exchanger 100 are not subjected to modernization.

The basic principle of the absorption machine is modernized working principle taken from (5, p.213) and (11, s.441).

Gaseous ammonia (~ 95% NH 3) vodnoammiachnogo released from solution in the generator 93 (12, 11 and s.429, s.441) at a high pressure of about 10 6 Pa (10 atm) and a temperature of 383 K enters the condenser 94, where it is condensed, giving heat to the cooling water Q. Liquid ammonia at P = 10 6 Pa and T = 298 K passes a throttling valve 95 and is evaporated in the evaporator 96, sensing heat at a low temperature level T 0 of the condensate, and cooled to a temperature of +1 o C condensate is directed through the pipe 97 in the pipe 84 a hydrogen generator to a heat exchanger 106. After ammonia gas evaporator with T = 253 K (-20 o C) and a pressure of P = 1,17 · 10 5 Pa (1.2 atm) is directed into the absorber 98 and cooling (heat removal dissolution) absorbed water to form a highly concentrated solution (~50% NH 3). The resulting solution is pumped by pump 101 through heat exchanger 100 to the generator 98. The generator 93 by heating with steam (supply of heat of evaporation) entering through nozzles 106 and 107 respectively of the heat exchanger and a generator of hydrogen ions from the trap hydration shell, most of the ammonia evaporates and in the form of gas enters the condenser 94 depleted water-ammonia solution (~ 20% NH 3) leaves the generator 93 through the heat exchanger 100 and the throttle valve 99 to the absorber 98 where again concentrated to ~ 50% due to the absorption of ammonia gas and sent to the generator 93 recycled.

Process Theory fractional separation of solid particles is given in step 15.

The fractional divider is designed

- To separate the slurry into the conglomerate polymetallic demineralized water into three fractions:

a fraction of a slurry of Ca (OH) 2;

fraction suspension Mg (OH) 2 + Al (OH) 3 (as mikrosmes);

a fraction of the slurry remaining compounds within the polymetallic conglomerate;

- Separation of fractions separated from each other.

The fractional divider is a column with a diameter of 2 meters and 65 meters in height ~ in which on the basis of Stokes law are separated according to their particle diameter and density.

WORKING PRINCIPLE Fractional Separator

The fractional divider 118 is filled through a nozzle demineralized water for about 2 meters above the valve shaft 112, after which valve 112, 113 and 125 from a vertical position (relative to the plane of the dampers) are transferred to the horizontal.

Through conduit 109 is loaded in the upper part of the sludge separator, which is supplied from the centrifuge of step 13 in an amount equal to three-hour operation of the hydrogen generator.

110 includes a turbine agitator, and valves 112, 113 and 125 are transferred from a horizontal position to a vertical, whereby sludge and demineralized water are transferred into a suspension.

Disconnected turbine agitator 110 and valve 112, 113 and 125 are transferred from a horizontal position to an upright, whereupon polymetal conglomerate particles that are suspended in the water or under the influence of gravity fall down.

After 2 chasa flaps 112, 113 and 125 is transferred from horizontal to vertical position.

For particles chasa 2 Ca (OH) 2 and Al (OH) 3 are lowered down the pipe to 42.24 m and 54.72 m, respectively, the compounds heavier particles for deposition chasa 2 pass path from 87.84 to 709 m ,2 meters. However, their descent stops when the damper passage 125 where the particles accumulate at the nozzle 11.

Install shutters on the upper casing lid parting separator:

- Damper 112 - 2.5 meters;

- Damper 113 - 51 meters;

- Damper 125 - 55 meters;

- Lower connector housing is set at around 55 meters.

After installing the dampers are opened to a horizontal position valves 115, 120 and 127, and split into fractions slurry is directed into the intermediate container.

Since fraction slurry remaining metal hydroxides and metal based on metals together weigh only ~ 24 kg, they were collected in a single collection of powder on the bottom of the fractional divider of several separation processes, and then opens the valve 120 and the entire fraction is sent to an intermediate tank . From the intermediate fractions separate containers slurry fed to the centrifuge.

Fugato desalinated water is sent to the discharge channel for the desalinated water for further use, and sludge (sludge) for further processing at the step 16.

The first production line is designed to produce desalinated water from sea water, hydrogen and oxygen.

The first production line is an engineering construction, which is based on unparalleled high-speed machines for the processing of sea water up to the desired products: demineralized water, hydrogen and oxygen.

PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRST LINE TECHNOLOGY

From the reservoir 140 through the intake-filter 141 by a pump 142 sea water through the pipe 21 is supplied to the industrial unit 13 ion separators, where sea water is divided into fractions: anolyte - demineralized water - catholyte. Demineralized water is supplied through pipe 19 into mixer 135, where there is a mixture of demineralized water and condensate which comes from the absorption chiller 92 and is directed through pipe 89 to a hydrogen generator 67.

The anolyte and catholyte of the industrial unit 13 separators ions directed via conduits 143 and 144, respectively, on the second processing line or via the mixer 145 and dispenser 146 back into the reservoir 140.

Hydrogen generator 67 - the central unit, in which all the main flock material flows involved in hydrogen generation, and extending therefrom material flows involved in obtaining Li, O 2 and water of reaction.

The hydrogen generator through the tubes 89 and 87 (Figure 6) to the nozzles 18 simultaneously fed (by calculation) demineralized water plus condensate (they are fed from a commercial ion separator unit 13 and the absorption refrigerating machine 92) and the cycle goes from the molten lithium catalyst separator 24. The injector of lithium and water is sprayed into small droplets, creating a huge contact area between lithium and water.

Under these conditions, water passes interaction of lithium and reaction to produce hydrogen and an aqueous LiOH solution are discharged from the hydrogen generator 67 via the pipes 82 and 83 respectively. Hydrogen through the pipe 82 is sent to the gas tank 139.

The reaction of the lithium reaction with water has a large thermal effect, equal to 484.9 kJ mol -1.

In the set operation in the hydrogen generator is allocated per hour 969 800 000 kJ of heat, which is given coolants, namely

- Anolyte and catholyte, which is heated to a temperature of 473 K;

- Cold water, which is supplied with a temperature of 274 K;

- The heat is spent on evaporation of ammonia from the strong vodnoammiachnogo solution in an absorption chiller.

Vaporous anolyte and catholyte, heated to a temperature of 473 K, routed through tubes 64 and 68 in the converter-separator 24 to produce ions Li + and OH - which carry the positive and negative charges, respectively.

The converter charges the ions are neutralized to form the Li, O 2 and H 2 O.

Li in the molten state through nozzles 66 and 87 directed in the hydrogen generator is recycled, and oxygen through the pipe 56 - 133 in the gasholder.

The reaction of oxygen in obtaining water as the condensate is fed into a hydrogen generator 67 through the pipe 57 and the mixers 134 and 135 is recycled.

Water vapor after separating it from the ions ( "+" and "-") in the separator-converter 24 and the steam was in the hydrogen generator is supplied to the absorption machine 92 via the pipes 107 m 106, respectively, to their heat for evaporation ammmika of strong vodnoammiachnogo solution. Further, the condensed water vapor is fed as a condensate in the hydrogen generator is recycled (flow conducted through manifold 105, a mixer 134, conduit 135 and conduit 89).

Withdrawal of heat from the reaction is as follows: cold water through the pipe 97 and pipe 84 to heat exchanger 81 (see Figure 3.) Of the hydrogen generator, wherein the reaction by taking away the heat exchanger trubax water evaporates and steam through the pipe 85 and pipe 106 It enters the absorption chiller 93 to the evaporation of ammonia from the solution vodnoammiachnogo. The condensed vapor as a condensate through condensate valve 102 (Figure 5) is sent to the evaporator 96, where it is cooled to a temperature of +1 o C and is directed through pipe 97 to the hydrogen generator is recycled.

The resulting reaction LiOH aqueous solution through pipe 83 flows into a centrifuge 136 where the aqueous LiOH solution was filtered from possible solid impurities, then through the nozzles 137 and 130 in the second solution enters the ion separator 129. The aqueous solution of LiOH is divided into anolyte and catholyte, is sent to the hydrogen generator is recycled withdrawal reaction heat from the reaction zone of a hydrogen generator.

Anolyte through pipes 131 and 79 goes to the tube space of the reaction zone of the hydrogen generator.

Tube space is divided by partitions into two parts for the anolyte and catholyte.

The catholyte through pipes 132 and 86 enters the second half of the annulus of the reaction zone of a hydrogen generator.

With the arrival of the anolyte and catholyte in the hydrogen generator of the second separator ions begins recycle operation.

Thus, consideration of the first production line scheme shows that the material flows continuously moving, each in its own loop, and the lithium from the process cycle is output, and continuously circulates from one device to another in the form of Li, Li + or LiOH process step, respectively.

The process is continuously added to demineralized water, walking on the formation of hydrogen and oxygen, are continuously discharged from the process line.

Extract from seawater cations and anions, and their translation into the respective metal atoms and gases (H 2, O 2, Cl 2, Br 2, I 2, F 2, SO 3).

Extraction of seawater contained therein metal salt carried on the second processing line for processing of sea water according to the following steps:

Stage 11. Separating the gas mixture.

Stage 16. Processing of Ca (OH) 2, Mg (OH) 2 and the rest of the polymetallic conglomerate.

DESCRIPTION OF STAGES

Step 9. Preparation of cations and anions, non-hydrated membrane in the separator-converter.

The theoretical basis of this process is given above in step 4. The process takes place in a separator unit-converter (2).

Consider which electrochemical processes take place in the preparation of cation containing no hydration shell.

The bottom of sea salt contains 77,7% NaCl, ie, NaCl is the basis of salts contained in seawater. To further simplify the calculations, we assume that all the cations contained in seawater are conventionally cation Na +, and the error in the calculation would be indicative admissible for this type of calculation.

Let us consider the processes occurring during the ions from the water compartment, ie producing ions containing no hydration shell.

I. Branch metal cations of the water passes through two phases:

a) heating of the catholyte (cations + water)

The catholyte



Heating of the catholyte takes place in two steps

- Pre-heating stage 14 in a mixer-reactor by the heat of dissolution of gas in the water and the chemical reactions (24-30);

- Final heat stage 12 occurs in the hydrogen generator by the heat of reaction for producing hydrogen from water and sodium.

b) separating the cation of saturated steam



2. Consider the processes taking place in the preparation of anions containing no hydration shell.

and assume that all the anions are conventionally anion Cl -. Anions from water separation takes place in two phases:

a) heating of the anolyte (water + anions)

Anolyte



The heating of the anolyte and catholyte like occurs in two stages at 14 and 12.

b) separating the anion of saturated steam:



Step 10. Neutralization of electrical charges on the ions to form the desired products.

This process takes place in the separator-converter (2) simultaneously in two directions:

1 - restore cations;

2 - oxidation of anions.

a) reaction of passing cations on the reduction of contact 63 (FIG. 2) consisting of molten sodium (previously lithium)

Metallic sodium and potassium with many metals form alloys of various compositions, which are soluble in the molten excess sodium (24). Metals that do not form a sodium and potassium alloys will be in molten sodium in a suspension.

In step 10, obtained by: alkaline metal melt, which comprises all the metals indicated in the table.

b) reacting extending in the oxidation of anions at the ball contact 60 (Figure 2).



Formed on pin 60 a mixture of gases (473 K temperature) is sent to the shop for the separation of the gas mixture.

11. Phase separation of the gas mixture.

The gas mixture contains in its structure Cl 2, Br 2, J 2, F 2, SO 3, CO 2, O 2. According to industry demand a certain part of the gas mixture is separated via control distribution of the total gas mixture, and subjected to fractional separation according to (4 s.750). fractional separation products are sent to customers or used in situ.

The remaining gas mixture is not divided is directed to step 14, in a mixing reactor for the reaction to transfer of metal hydroxides (NaOH, KOH, LiOH, RbOH, CsOH) in chlorides, bromides, iodides, fluorides, carbonates and sulfates in appropriate amounts.

Step 12. Preparation of hydrogen by reaction with an alkali melt water.

From step 10 to step 12, molten metal enters the alkaline hydrogen generator.

At this stage the following reactions:

a) the reaction leading to the formation of hydrogen and water soluble alkali compounds:

2Na + 2 H 2 O -> H 2 + NaOH

NaOH -> Na + + OH - ( 21)

Similarly, reaction with sodium tested with mikoprimesyami K and Li, Rb, Cs;

b) reactions leading to the formation of hydrogen and a water-insoluble polymetallic conglomerate.

With two or trivalent metals which form insoluble or sparingly soluble metal hydroxides in water, reactions take place, e.g.

Mg + 2H 2 O -> H 2 + Mg (OH) 2 (22)

2Al + 6H 2 O -> 3H 2 + Al (OH) 3 (23)

This group of metal hydroxides include: Al, Ba, Fe (II), Fe (III), Y, Ca, Co, Mg, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, La, Ra, Sc, U.

Several below said metals do not react with water and form metal hydroxide and include metals Sr, Ga, Au, Mo, As, Sn, Hg, Se, Ag, Th, Cr, Si, V, Zn.

Thus, all listed in "b" gidrokcidy individual metals and metal (not vctupayuschie reacted with water) make up the so-called "polymetallic conglomerate", ie insoluble in water, the mixture of all the elements included in the table except for the alkali metals. These metal hydroxides with metal walls of the reactor are washed with an alkaline solution and steam, and the resulting slurry together with steam and hydrogen, is sent to heat exchanger 81 (Figure 3), where water vapor is condensed and separated from the hydrogen.

Condensate is an alkaline solution of Na, K, Li, Rb, Cs, which includes a polymetallic conglomerate and after cooling in heat exchanger 81 is directed to the condensate slurry step 13 "Centrifugation of the suspension liquor."

Hydrogen, having passed the heat exchanger 81 (Figure 3), cooled by cold water, is directed to a hydrogen compressor 200 (Figure 8) station.

Step 13. Centrifugation liquor slurry.

At step served liquor suspension containing polymetallic conglomerate. The process is continuous centrifugation, and wherein

- Sludge (polymetallic conglomerate) directed to the fractional divider 103 (5), wherein the conglomerate polymetallic mixed with demineralised water to form a slurry and then separating the resulting slurry into fractions depending on the density of the metal or metal hydroxide particles and size;

- Centrate (liquor) from the centrifuge 178 (7) guided along two lines

a) the stage 14;

b) to control the distribution of 188 (7) and from the central point 214 (9) of the distribution of material flows.

Industrial orders shown a certain part of the alkaline solution, and forwarded to the shop 228 (9) to secede from NaOH and KOH obtain concentrated solutions of NaOH and KOH, and a solid KOH and NaOH. It does not stand out from the solution RbOH, LiOH, CsOH, since content in seawater Rb, Li and Cs in terms of metal was 1.5 × 10 -5 - 2 · 10 -7% (by weight), i.e. a very small amount.

Step 14. Transfer metal hydroxides (Na. K, Li, Rb, Cs) to halides, sulfates, and carbonates of these metals.

As a result of physico-chemical effect on the catholyte and the anolyte obtained

- Hydrogen - is used as the target product as intended (primarily for recovery of metal hydroxides);

- Polymetallic conglomerate - is used as a raw material for chemical and metallurgical plants to obtain from it the desired products;

- A mixture of gases (Cl 2, Br 2, J 2, F 2, SO 3, O 2, CO 2) - the industry will be used only a smaller part of the total amount of gas produced, most of these gases is not used and need to recycle;

- An alkaline solution of metals (Na, K, Li, Rb, Cs) - industry and will use less of the total amount of the resulting alkaline solution, a large part of this solution will not be used and need to recycle;

- A mixture of gases (Cl 2, Br 2, J 2, F 2, SO 3, O 2, CO 2) and an alkali metal solution (Na, K, Li, Rb , Cs), obtained in the process of physical and chemical processes, to leave on the surface in large quantities is impractical because It can happen ecological disaster, so the mixture of gases and alkali metal solution should be transferred to the salt, which is the basis of sea water, such as: NaCl, NaBr, NaJ, NaF , Na 2 SO 4, Na 2 CO 3 and, respectively, K, Li, Rb , Cs, of alkaline solution to a mixture of gases and sent to the mixer-reactor unit 147 (7), and the resulting mixture was poured there into the ocean through a pipe length of about 1 km and with a plurality of small holes along the entire length of the pipeline, which is perpendicular to the sea current on the seabed, which will lead to a gradual recovery of the salt concentration in sea ocean.

Consider the chemical processes by which to complete the task.

I. When dissolved in water is chlorine hydrolysis to form hypochlorous acid



hypochlorous acid is easily decomposed

NClO -> HXL + 1/2 O 2 (25)

на чем основано белящее и дезинфицирующее действия хлора в присутствии воды.

2. Выделившаяся HCl взаимодействует с NaOH по реакции

NaOH + НCl --> NaCl + H 2 O (26)

аналогичная реакция проходит и с гидрокcидами K, Li, Rb, Cs.

3. Серный ангидрид SO 3 , растворяясь в воде, образует серную кислоту

SO 3 + H 2 O --> H 2 SO 4 (27)

4. Серная кислота реагирует с NaOH

2NaOH + H 2 SO 4 --> Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O (28)

аналогично идет реакция и с гидроксидами K, Li, Rb, Cs.

5. Угольный ангидрид СО 2 реагирует с водой по реакции (12, с.314)



6. Угольная кислота реагирует с NaOH

Н 2 СО 3 + NaОН --> Na 2 СО 3 + 2Н 2 О (30)

аналогично идет реакция и с гидроксидами K, Li, Rb, Cs.

Таким образом, химические реакции (24-30) показывают, что при взаимодействии щелочного раствора и смеси газов образуются соли, содержащиеся в морской воде, но без солей, составляющих поликонгломерат металлов.

Следует отметить

- из-за того что из процесса выводится полиметаллический конгломерат, всегда в отходящей морской воде будет быть превышение количества анионов по сравнению с количеством катионов. В результате этого из реактора-смесителя 147 (фиг. 7) в океан будет подаваться слабо-слабо кислый раствор морской воды;

- окончательная нейтрализация этого раствора произойдет при большом разбавлении отходящего раствора морской воды непосредственно в водах мирового океана и взаимодействии свободных кислот с CaCO 3 (ракушечник), находящегося в микроскопических организмах мирового океана, например

2НCl + CaCO 3 --> CaCl 2 + Н 23 (31)

Таким образом, океан сам приводит неравновесную систему в ионное равновесие, т.е. количество катионов равно количеству анионов с соблюдением и электрического равновесия по зарядам, т.е. количество положительных зарядов равно количеству отрицательных зарядов.

Данный процесс осуществляется в реакторе-смесителе, который предназначен для перевода гидроксидов металлов (Na, K, Li, Rb, Cs) в галогениды, сульфаты и карбонаты этих металлов.

Реактор-смеситель представляет собой генератор водорода (описанный выше), но вместо водорода в трубопровод для отвода водорода поступает кислород, выделившийся по реакции (25).

Принцип действия реактора-смесителя см. выше.

Образовавшийся согласно реакции (25) кислород выводится из реактора-смесителя через трубопровод 198 (фиг.8) и направляется на кислородную компрессорную станцию 203 (фиг.8), охлажденный солевой раствор через патрубок направляется в океан.

Вторая технологическая линия входит в технологический процесс, см. фиг. 7.
