摘要:
The invention relates to a cathode for electrolytic processes provided with a catalytic coating based on ruthenium crystallites with highly controlled size falling in a range of 1-10 nm. The coating can be produced by physical vapor deposition of a ruthenium or ruthenium oxide layer.

The invention describes an improved anode suitable for being installed in chlor-alkali electrolysis cells intercalated to cathode elements provided with a diaphragm.In operation, the anode of the invention is in direct contact with the diaphragm so as to form mutually equivalent vertical channels defined by the surfaces of the plates, of the supporting sheets and of the diaphragm, allowing a predefined and controlled upward motion of the chlorine-brine biphasic mixture.
摘要:
Operation of diaphragm monopolar electrolyzers for chlor-alkali electrolysis is improved by providing at least part of the anodes in their upper portion with hydrodynamic baffles capable of generating a plurality of lifting and downcoming recirculation motions of the mixed anolyte-gas phase and of the anolyte separated from gas, respectively, which baffles are characterized by their superior edge or overflow holes located under the free surface of the anolyte, resulting in a reduction of the cell voltage and an increase in the faradic efficiency and the quality of the products.
摘要:
Describes a monopolar diaphragm electrolytic cell with dimensionally stable anodes in which the anodes rest freely in the cell and are spring-pressed toward the diaphragms by spring-loaded transverse arms on the positive current carriers, which in use contact, but are not mechanically connected to, the anodes, the spring-pressed electrical contacts between the transverse arms and the anodes are sufficient to carry current to the anodes without substantial ohmic drop through these contacts and permit the anodes to be removed from the cells for recoating and other purposes without destroying any welds or other permanent mechanical connections between the anodes and other portions of the cell.
摘要:
The invention relates to a synthetic diaphragm for chlor-alkali cells with improved energy consumption and gas separation characteristics. The diaphragm comprises a network of polymer fibers bound to a hydrophilic ceramic material containing zirconium chemically bound to hydroxyl groups. The ceramic material is obtained starting from ZrO2 by a process of hydration under vacuum which can be carried out directly in the cell by means of suitable equipment.
摘要:
The invention relates to an amalgam decomposer for mercury cathode chlor-alkali cells. The amalgam decomposer of the invention contains a filling of carbon steel rings whose external surface is provided with a catalytic coating for amalgam decomposition consisting of one or more electrically conductive metals carbides. The internal surface of the rings is free of catalytic coating and wettable by the amalgam, while the external carbide catalytic coating is not wettable by the amalgam thereby favoring hydrogen evolution.
摘要:
A diaphragm electrolytic cell is composed of two or more overlaid modules; at least the upper modules having U-shaped anodes with diaphragm-coated cathodes housed within, allowing for a reduced electrode pitch.
摘要:
There is disclosed an inlet and outlet end-box design for mercury cathode chlor-alkali electrolysis cells of extended lifetime, comprising a composite mechanical structure consisting of a carbon steel bottom entirely supporting the mechanical solicitations, a plastic cover, and a hydraulic head device for washing the mercury and the amalgam. The device is partially extractable thereby allowing the withdrawal of foreign materials accumulated during operation with no need for opening the end-boxes.
摘要:
A chlor-alkali diaphragm electrolysis cell comprising pairs of interleaved cathodes (C) and anodes (B), said cathodes having surfaces with openings and are provided with porous corrosion resistant diaphragms, said cell further comprising feed brine inlets and outlets (H, I, L) for the removal of produced chlorine, hydrogen and caustic, said anodes (B) are expanded by internal extenders (F) and have electrode surfaces with openings for releasing produced gaseous chlorine, characterized in that each of said expanded anodes (B) comprises a plurality of pressing means (O,Q) made of corrosion resistant material having elastic properties to maintain the electrode surfaces of the anodes against the diaphragm and said pressing means are longitudinally positioned inside the anodes having very low operating voltages.
