Centrifugal flow electrochemical reactor for obtaining hydrogen peroxide
P202530967
A centrifugal flow electrochemical reactor for obtaining hydrogen peroxide comprising at least one cell formed by several shells, with an internal cavity, water inlets and outlets tangential to the internal cavity at the top of the shells, and an oxygen inlet (63) for each cathode to the internal cavity in a direction perpendicular to the water inlet; wherein each cell is composed of two cathodic compartments and a single anodic compartment divided into two parts. The cell thus divided implies more compact electrochemical reactors that simultaneously maximize the production of H₂O₂.
One of the main advantages of electrochemical technology is the on-site production of H2O2, making it a very attractive alternative for environmental applications such as water disinfection or waste remediation. This avoids the costs associated with the transport, storage, and management of commercial H2O2 and allows its generation in remote areas not connected to the electrical grid, using renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines to power the system.
