Abstract
An apparatus and process for producing hydrogen peroxide on an as-needed basis is disclosed. An oxidizing agent is generated for reaction with water to generate hydrogen peroxide.
Claims38
A method of generating an oxidizing compound comprising:
- oxidizing an oxidizable compound to form an oxidizing agent in an electrolyzer and generating a stream comprising the oxidizing agent;
- hydrolyzing the oxidizing agent with water to generate a solution comprising the oxidizing compound and the oxidizable compound;
- separating the oxidizing compound and oxidizable compound to form a first stream comprising the oxidizing compound and a second stream comprising oxidizable compound;
- and
- recycling the oxidizable compound to the electrolyzer.
2 more elements
A hydrogen peroxide generator comprising:
- an electrolyzer for generating an oxidizing agent stream having an inlet and an outlet for the generated oxidizing agent stream;
- a hydrolyzer for hydrolyzing the oxidizing agent with water to generate a hydrolyzer stream comprising hydrogen peroxide and an oxidizable compound, and having an inlet in fluid communication with the electrolyzer outlet and an outlet for the hydrolyzer stream;
- and
- a separator for separating the hydrogen peroxide and the oxidizable compound, and having an inlet in fluid communication with the hydrolyzer outlet and an outlet for a stream comprising hydrogen peroxide and an outlet for a stream comprising the oxidizable compound.
1 more element
An apparatus for generating an oxidizing compound in an appliance comprising:
- an electrolyzer with an inlet for admitting water, an inlet for admitting a stream comprising an oxidizable compound, and an outlet for an electrolyzer stream comprising the oxidizing compound;
- a separator with an inlet in fluid communication with the electrolyzer outlet, a product outlet for a product stream comprising the oxidizing compound, and a recycle outlet for a recycle stream comprising the oxidizable compound;
- and
- a storage compartment for periodically holding the oxidizing compound with an inlet in fluid communication with the separator product outlet.
