ELOXYCHEM will establish a commercially relevant electrochemical oxidation process that will become a strategic development to replace existing chemical conversion processes that are heavily reliant on imported materials such as nitric acid and imported fossil-fuels such as natural gas. ELOXYCHEM will promote a credible pathway for Europe’s twin transition (green and digital) by demonstrating: (i) a new transformational electrochemical conversion platform process at a pilot scale (multiple tonnes per annum) consisting of reactors and downstream separation to final products with marketable specification to reliably achieve TRL6; (ii)drop-in replacement technology for chemical conversion. ELOXYCHEM will also optimise the process to demonstrate versatility of the process to multiple feedstocks ranging from current feedstocks and future bio-based and biogenic sources. Using AI strategies for optimisation the pilot plant will be targeted improve electrochemical performance, improve lifetime and reduce cost; prove viability of integrating with renewable energy sources considering intermittency and potential to offer demand-response flexibility; integrate process design, including materials, reactor/cell, and separation methods, from the process intensification and cost perspectives. ELOXYCHEM brings together a world leading consortium consisting of chemical/bulk material producers, manufacturers, and universities from across Europe to addresses the expected outcomes and achieve energy consumption savings of ~60% compared with existing processes, ELOXYCHEM´s disruptive approach will help chemical industries transform their production process to reduce waste, use of harmful precursor chemicals, and become less energy intensive.

ELOXYCHEM 将建立一种商业相关的电化学氧化工艺，该工艺将成为一项战略发展，以取代严重依赖进口材料（如硝酸）和进口化石燃料（如天然气）的现有化学转化工艺。双转型（绿色和数字），通过展示：（i）一个新的中试规模（每年数吨）的转型电化学转换平台工艺，包括反应器和下游分离到最终产品可靠地实现 TRL6 的适销对路规范；(ii) 用于化学转化的直接替代技术还将利用人工智能策略来优化该工艺，以展示该工艺对多种原料的多功能性。为了优化，试点工厂的目标是提高电化学性能、延长使用寿命并降低成本；考虑到间歇性和提供需求响应灵活性过程的潜力，证明与可再生能源整合的可行性； ELOXYCHEM 汇集了一个由欧洲各地的化学品/散装材料生产商、制造商和大学组成的世界领先的联盟，以解决预期成果并实现这一目标。与现有工艺相比，ELOXYCHEM 的颠覆性方法可节省约 60% 的能源消耗，将帮助化学工业转变其生产工艺，以减少废物和有害前体化学品的使用，并降低能源密集度。
