Abstract
A solid ion-conductive material can be used in a compartment of an electrochemical cell, such as between an anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange membrane, for improving energy efficiency and at least partially replacing electrolyte solution. The formed product can be obtained for instance in demi water.
Claims12
Process for the electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide in an electrochemical cell comprising:
- producing H30 cations at an anode, producing HO2− anions at a cathode, transporting said H+ cations through a cation exchange membrane into a compartment of said electrochemical cell, transporting said HO2− anions through an anion exchange membrane into said compartment, wherein hydrogen peroxide is formed in said compartment, and withdrawing a hydrogen peroxide solution with a concentration of at least 50 g H2O2/1 through an outlet from said compartment, wherein said compartment comprises a solid ion-conductive material, wherein water molecules migrate with said ions through the anion exchange membrane and/or cation exchange membrane due to electro osmosis drag, and wherein all water is supplied into the compartment through the membranes.
