Abstract

According to the invention, the use of hydrothermal conditions makes it possible to synthesise minerals from salts dissolved in an aqueous solution by mixing a saline solution of precursors with water close to the critical point of water. In continuous-operation facilities, the mixture is carried out in a mixing device which is often T-shaped. However, said device is quickly obstructed by a product of the reaction, which prevents the correct operation of the facility. The invention relates to a method for mixing an aqueous saline solution and overheated water, which consists of feeding in a flow of cold water which forms a temporary sheath between the saline solution and the flow of overheated water, preventing the reaction between the aqueous saline solution and the overheated water from the end of the channel for conveying the saline solution.

Description

Préparation de nanoparticules par traitement  Preparation of nanoparticles by treatment

d'une solution en milieu hydrothermal  a solution in a hydrothermal medium

Domaine technique de l'invention Technical field of the invention

L'invention concerne un procédé de production de nanoparticules par traitement en continu d'une solution saline dans des conditions de pression et de température élevées pour en modifier la composition. The invention relates to a method for producing nanoparticles by continuously treating a salt solution under high pressure and temperature conditions to modify the composition thereof.

État de la technique State of the art

L'utilisation de conditions hydrothermales est étudiée depuis de nombreuses années pour des opérations de synthèse de minéraux à partir de sels dissous en solution aqueuse. Les conditions employées sont des conditions sous- critiques, avec en particulier une température de traitement inférieure à la température critique de l'eau de 375°C. Les synthèses étant réalisées en milieu fermé, à volume constant, la pression est égale à la pression autogène, soit la pression de vapeur saturante de l'eau à la température considérée, généralement inférieure à la pression critique de l'eau, soit 221 bars. The use of hydrothermal conditions has been studied for many years for mineral synthesis operations from dissolved salts in aqueous solution. The conditions employed are subcritical conditions, with in particular a treatment temperature below the critical temperature of 375 ° C. The syntheses being carried out in a closed medium, at constant volume, the pressure is equal to the autogenous pressure, ie the saturation vapor pressure of the water at the temperature in question, generally below the critical pressure of the water, ie 221 bar .

Parallèlement, des procédés utilisant du CO2 en phase supercritique ont été développés pour l'extraction de principes aromatiques ou de molécules spécifiques à partir d'un composé naturel. In parallel, processes using supercritical phase CO2 have been developed for the extraction of aromatic principles or specific molecules from a natural compound.

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, plusieurs équipes de recherche ont développé des réacteurs en continu pour effectuer des synthèses de composés minéraux sous forme de particules très fines, notamment de nanoparticules dans des conditions hydrothermales. Ces conditions correspondent à des conditions de pression-température sous-critiques (inférieures à la pression et la température du point critique de l'eau 221 bars, 375°C) ou des conditions supercritiques, au- delà du point critique. Ces synthèses hydrothermales consistent à mélanger une solution des sels précurseurs avec de l'eau surchauffée près du point critique. Les espèces oxydantes présentes dans l'eau supercritique provoquent alors la précipitation de composés oxydes correspondant aux sels précurseurs. Le mélange est effectué en continu dans un dispositif de mélange qui est généralement un dispositif en forme de T. For twenty years, several research teams have developed continuous reactors to synthesize mineral compounds in the form of very fine particles, particularly nanoparticles under hydrothermal conditions. These conditions correspond to subcritical pressure-temperature conditions (below the pressure and the critical point temperature of the water 221 bar, 375 ° C) or supercritical conditions, beyond the critical point. These hydrothermal syntheses consist of mixing a solution of the precursor salts with superheated water near the critical point. The oxidizing species present in the supercritical water then cause the precipitation of oxide compounds corresponding to the precursor salts. The mixing is carried out continuously in a mixing device which is generally a T-shaped device.

La synthèse de particules en continu en phase eau sous-critique ou supercritique présente une difficulté technique majeure. La réaction de précipitation des sels précurseurs dissous avec les espèces oxydantes présentes dans l'eau supercritique est très rapide et elle conduit à la formation de dépôts minéraux sur les parois du dispositif utilisé pour le mélange. En particulier, le dispositif en T souvent utilisé et schématisé en figure 1 dans lequel l'eau supercritique 1 entre en contact avec la solution de sels 2 est rapidement obstrué par un dépôt 20 qui empêche alors le fonctionnement correct de l'installation. Le brevet WO20081 14755 décrit un « micromixer » en forme de T dont la section des tubulures favorise le mélange et limite la formation d'un dépôt.  Continuous particle synthesis in the subcritical or supercritical water phase presents a major technical difficulty. The precipitation reaction of the dissolved precursor salts with the oxidizing species present in the supercritical water is very rapid and leads to the formation of mineral deposits on the walls of the device used for mixing. In particular, the T-device often used and schematized in FIG. 1 in which the supercritical water 1 comes into contact with the salt solution 2 is rapidly blocked by a deposit 20 which then prevents the correct operation of the installation. Patent WO2008114755 describes a T-shaped "micromixer" whose section of the tubes promotes mixing and limits the formation of a deposit.

Des solutions de mélangeurs ont été proposées et certaines brevetées pour limiter le phénomène d'obstruction des tubulures par des produits de la réaction. Par exemple un dispositif développé à l'University Collège London concerne un dispositif appelé « Confined jet mixer » et schématisé en figure 2. Il consiste en deux tubes concentriques, le tube intérieur convoyant la solution des précurseurs et le tube extérieur fournissant le flux d'eau supercritique. Les brevets WO2005/077505 de Nottingham University FR-09 55023 de l'Université de Bourgogne décrivent un mélangeur, schématisé en figure 3, à contre-courant entre la solution des précurseurs et l'eau supercritique.  Mixer solutions have been proposed and some patented to limit the phenomenon of obstruction of tubing by reaction products. For example, a device developed at University College London relates to a device called "Confined jet mixer" and shown schematically in Figure 2. It consists of two concentric tubes, the inner tube conveying the solution of the precursors and the outer tube providing the flow of supercritical water. Patent WO2005 / 077505 of Nottingham University FR-09 55023 from the University of Burgundy describe a mixer, schematized in Figure 3, against the current between the solution of precursors and supercritical water.

Toutes les solutions proposées ont en commun qu'elles n'évitent pas le contact entre la solution saline des précurseurs et l'eau supercritique à proximité d'une paroi. La tubulure d'amenée de la solution saline constitue souvent cette paroi, et la formation d'un dépôt obstrue la tubulure d'amenée de la solution saline sur de longues durées d'utilisation dans des conditions industrielles. All the proposed solutions have in common that they do not prevent the contact between the precursor saline solution and the supercritical water near a wall. The tubing of supply of the saline solution often constitutes this wall, and the formation of a deposit obstructs the supply tubing of the saline solution over long periods of use under industrial conditions.

Par ailleurs la tubulure d'amenée de la solution saline est en contact avec l'eau supercritique sur une longueur même réduite. Il s'en suit un fort échauffement de la solution saline en amont de son contact avec l'eau supercritique. Un échauffement au-delà de 150°C à 180°C induit une transformation de la solution saline, parfois une précipitation partielle non désirée des sels dissous sous forme de particules. Cet échauffement explique également en partie la formation du dépôt sur les parois de la tubulure d'amenée de la solution saline au point de contact avec l'eau surchauffée. In addition, the feed tubing of the saline solution is in contact with supercritical water over a similarly reduced length. It follows a strong heating of the saline solution upstream of its contact with the supercritical water. Heating above 150 ° C to 180 ° C induces transformation of the saline solution, sometimes undesired partial precipitation of dissolved salts in particulate form. This heating also partly explains the formation of the deposit on the walls of the inlet tubing of the saline solution at the point of contact with the superheated water.

Enfin l'addition d'un troisième réactant souvent nécessaire pour orienter la réaction entre la solution saline et l'eau supercritique est difficile à maîtriser car les conditions d'un mélange homogène dans le volume réactionnel ne sont pas réunies en raison de la vitesse très élevée de réaction dans les conditions supercritiques.  Finally, the addition of a third reactant often necessary to guide the reaction between the saline solution and the supercritical water is difficult to control because the conditions of a homogeneous mixture in the reaction volume are not met because of the very high speed. high reaction rate under supercritical conditions.

Objet de l'invention L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne un procédé de production de nanoparticules par traitement en continu d'une solution saline dans des conditions de pression et de température élevées. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and relates to a process for producing nanoparticles by continuous treatment of a saline solution under conditions of high pressure and high temperature.

L'invention consiste à apporter conjointement, dans un dispositif de mélange, une solution saline aqueuse chaude et une solution d'eau froide dans un flux d'eau surchauffée à une température supérieure à 250°C et caractérisé en ce que la canalisation d'amenée de la solution saline aqueuse est entourée par la canalisation d'amenée de la solution d'eau froide et que l'écart de température entre la solution d'eau froide et la solution saline est au moins de 50°C. En effet l'auteur a découvert qu'une mince gaine d'eau froide assure une barrière aux échanges entre la solution saline et l'eau surchauffée du fait des écarts de température entre, d'une part la solution saline et l'eau froide et, d'autre part, entre la solution d'eau surchauffée et l'eau froide. The invention consists in providing, in a mixing device, a hot aqueous salt solution and a cold water solution in a stream of superheated water at a temperature above 250 ° C. and characterized in that the pipe of The aqueous saline solution is surrounded by the supply line for the cold water solution and the temperature difference between the cold water solution and the saline solution is at least 50 ° C. Indeed the author discovered that a thin cold water jacket provides a barrier to exchanges between the saline solution and the superheated water due to temperature differences between, on the one hand, saline solution and cold water and, on the other hand, between the solution of superheated water and cold water.

According to a development of the invention, inside the mixing device, the cold water supply pipe is longer than the saline supply pipe of a length at least equal to the diameter of the water supply. the supply line of the saline solution.

Les valeurs de pression et de température de l'eau surchauffée 1 pourront être choisies respectivement entre 50 bars et 1000 bars et 250°C et 700°C, la pression étant toujours choisie supérieure à la pression autogène de l'eau à la température considérée. En particulier, les valeurs de pression et de température de l'eau surchauffée pourront être choisies au-delà du point critique de l'eau, avec une pression Peau supérieure à 221 bars et une température supérieure 375°C. The pressure and temperature values of the superheated water 1 can be chosen respectively between 50 bar and 1000 bar and 250 ° C and 700 ° C, the pressure always being chosen higher than the autogenous pressure of the water at the temperature considered. In particular, the pressure and temperature values of the superheated water may be chosen beyond the critical point of water, with a pressure P e u greater than 221 bar and a higher temperature 375 ° C.

La pression P2eau du flux secondaire 3 de la solution d'eau sera choisie supérieure d'au moins 5 bars et typiquement d'au moins 25 bars à la pression P1 eau du flux de la solution d'eau surchauffée.

Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation de l'invention, la canalisation 13 d'amenée de l'eau froide et la canalisation 12 d'amenée de la solution saline sont concentriques.
