Resumen de: EP4678681A1

Die Erfindung befasst sich mit der Herstellung von Anionen leitenden Polymeren, welche für den Einsatz in der alkalischen Membranwasserelektrolyse bestimmt sind. Konkret soll die Quellungsneigung von Anionen leitenden Polymeren in alkalischen wässrigen Lösungen reduziert werden, ohne dass die spezifische Anionenleitfähigkeit dieser Polymere stark beeinträchtigt wird. Dies gelingt durch die Zugabe eines weiteren Edukts in das Reaktionsgemisch. Insgesamt wird das Polymer aus drei Edukten hergestellt, nämlich aus 4,4-bis-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl)-1-methyl-piperidin (Formel I), aus 4,4'-Difluorbenzophenon (Formel II), sowie aus 4,4'-Dihydroxybenzophenon (Formel III) bzw. aus Bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)methanone (Formel IV).

Resumen de: GB2642534A

A system and process for facilitating the direct electrolysis of saltwater, such as seawater, is described. The system comprises an acid-base flow battery (ABFB) 230 with an acid solution outlet 403, an alkaline solution outlet 402 and a saltwater inlet 401; and a water electrolyser 340 downstream of the ABFB for producing hydrogen 408, the electrolyser comprising a negative electrode and a positive electrode. The ABFB is in fluid communication with the water electrolyser, such that, in use, an alkaline solution from the alkaline solution outlet of the acid-base flow battery passes into a positive electrode channel of the water electrolyser proximal the positive electrode. By coupling a water electrolyser with an upstream acid-base flow battery in this way, the base solution by-product from the ABFB is fed into the positive (anode) channel of the electrolyser. In this way, the pH proximal the positive electrode is increased. As a result, saltwater is subjected to electrolysis without the evolution of chlorine or bromine at the positive electrode. The brine by-product of the process may be subjected to freshwater-saltwater reverse electrodialysis (RED) to convert dilution energy to usable electricity.
