    摘要: Synthetic-fiber diaphragms are further improved by incorporating in the diaphragm an effective proportion of a suitable inorganic material such as TiO.sub.2, BaSO.sub.4 or K.sub.2 Ti.sub.8 O.sub.17, which is more hydrophilic than the fluoropolymer forming the diaphragm. This is done either by mixing the inorganic material with the resin before it is made into fiber or by supplying sub-micron-sized particles of the inorganic material, during or even after diaphragm formation. A principal benefit is that this lowers the cell voltage which is required during an initial period (up to about 300 hours) of the operation of a chlor-alkali cell provided with such a diaphragm, making it possible to avoid such drawbacks as suffering an initial period of low production or the necessity of providing external cooling to the cell during such an initial period.

    摘要: Fibers about micron size in cross-section of certain fluorine-containing polymers can be treated after being deposited as a diaphragm, either during operation or separately before installation, so that they develop a 0.25-millimeter-thick ply on either side of a central body which is substantially different in chemical composition. This yields a diaphragm 1 to 5 millimeters thick which has a Mullen burst strength approximately three to five times greater than that of an untreated diaphragm (20-25 pounds per square inch versus 5 to 7 pounds per square inch) and a remarkably improved service life in the treated diaphragm (200 days and up) in comparison with such untreated diaphragm (30 days or less). Use of a polymer based upon a major proportion of chlorotrifluoroethylene appears to be required. This discovery is economically significant, in that it is an essential element in the technology of the replacement of asbestos diaphragms now used with a synthetic material. Health-hazard and pollution-control considerations have made it desirable to replace asbestos, and this invention provides the key to the solution of the problem.Moreover, a synthetic-polymer diaphragm has two significant advantages that an asbestos one lacks--it will withstand washing or cleaning with an acid solution, and it does not swell in service and resists erosion, so that a closer electrode spacing can be used and the cell voltage can thus be lower.

    摘要: Initial cell voltages are reduced by decreasing the resistance of the diaphragm through a degassing procedure prior to or at installation thereof. This degassing procedure involves subjecting the diaphragm to subatmospheric pressure while contacting the diaphragm with electrolyte, said electrolyte being an aqueous saline solution having a surface active agent therein in an amount sufficient to reduce the surface tension below the critical surface tension for wetting the fibers, and increasing the pressure to atmospheric or cell working pressure to force electrolyte solution into the interstices of the diaphragm.

The bulk resistivity of such a molded bipolar current collector is less than 4.times.10.sup.-3 ohm inches (.sigma. in.) It has excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of feed stocks such as brine, aqueous HCl, water, etc. and to various electrolysis products, such as caustic, chlorine, hydrogen, etc.This invention relates to a molded, conductive, fiber reinforced, current collecting-separator structure for electrochemical cells and, more particularly, to one utilizing thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin binders for bonding electroconductive particles into a solid, current collecting-separator structure reinforced by carbon or graphite fibers or fiber structures.

    摘要: The invention describes a pressurized, three compartment membrane cell for the electrolyzing aqueous alkali metal halides at low cell voltages and with high cathodic current efficiencies. Unitary electrode-electrolyte structures, in the form electrochemically active electrodes physically bonded to ion transporting permselective membranes divide the cell into anode, cathode and buffer compartments. The buffer compartment feed is pressurized to maintain at a positive pressure differential with respect to the anode and cathode compartment feeds. The flexible unitary electrode-membrane electrolytes are forced outwardly against electronically conductive anode and cathode current collectors to provide uniform, constant and controllable contact between the bonded electrodes and thereby minimizing ohmic losses. A three compartment cell operated in this fashion not only minimizes the voltage required to electrolyze the halide solution, but also increases the cathodic current efficiency at high caustic concentrations by providing multiple hydroxide rejection stages in a single cell process. The improvement in cathodic current efficiency is realized by forming a lower caustic concentration in the buffer compartment than in the cathode compartment thereby reducing backmigration of OH.sup.- ions into the anode compartment.

    摘要: An on-board catalytic monitoring system uses an intrusive technique to cause the vehicle's engine to cycle between first and second operating conditions. The first and second operating conditions are chosen such that different concentrations of emissions with different chemistries are present at the first and second operating conditions. A calorimetric sensor with a selective catalyst senses exothermic oxidation reactions produced by the emissions in the exhaust gas passing over the sensor. By matching the catalyst activity with the emission concentrations occurring at the operating conditions, the difference between the heat release sensor signals detected between the first and second operating conditions is indicative of the actual concentration of specific emissions in the exhaust gas stream. The difference or delta signal, obtained without reference to a zero point, provides an excellent correlation to the efficiency of the vehicle's catalytic converter for converting the sensed emission, i.e., hydrocarbons.
