Abstract

An electrochemical reduction device is provided with an electrode unit, a power control unit, an organic material storage tank, a water storage tank, a gas-liquid separator, and a control unit. The electrode unit has an electrolyte membrane, a reduction electrode, and an oxygen evolving electrode. The electrolyte membrane is formed of an ionomer. A reduction catalyst used for the reduction electrode contains at least one of Pt and Pd. The oxygen evolving electrode contains catalysts of noble metal oxides such as RuO2, IrO2, and the like. The control unit controls the power control unit such that a relationship, VHER−20 mV≦VCA≦VTRR, can be satisfied when the potential at a reversible hydrogen electrode, the standard redox potential of an aromatic hydrocarbon compound or an N-containing heterocyclic aromatic compound, and the potential of the reduction electrode are expressed as VHER, VTRR, and VCA, respectively.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-075635, filed on Mar. 29, 2012 and International Patent Application No. PCT / JP2013 / 002187, filed on Mar. 29, 2013, the entire content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a device and a method for electrochemically hydrogenating an aromatic hydrocarbon compound or an N-containing heterocyclic aromatic compound.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]It is known that cyclic organic compounds such as cyclohexane and decalin are able to be obtained efficiently by hydrogenating a benzene ring of corresponding aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (benzene and naphthalene) using a hydrogen gas. Since high temperature and high pressure are required for this reaction, this reaction is not suitable for small and medium-sc...
