    摘要: A bipolar current collector-separator for electrochemical cells consists of a molded aggregate of electro-conductive graphite and a thermoplastic fluoropolymer particles reinforced with carbon fibers to increase the strength and maintain high electrical conductivity. The graphite and the thermoplastic fluoropolymer are combined in weight ratio ranging from 2.5:1 to 16:1. The carbon fibers may constitute from 10 to 80 weight percent of the conductive graphite. 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.

    摘要: Shunt currents which flow between the electrodes of adjacent cells through the moving conductive fluid and the fluid pool in the manifold of a bipolar cell assembly are minimized by introducing the conductive fluid at the top of an elongated outlet manifold. This results in cascaded flow which interrupts the current path. Shunt currents between the fluid manifold walls of the conductive bipolar elements in the series connected electrochemical cell assemblies are minimized by insulating the manifold walls with insulating, elastomeric sealing grommets. This prevents current flow between the manifold walls through the electrically conductive fluid in the manifold and provides an edgeseal between bipolar plates.The instant invention relates to a process and apparatus for electrochemical cell assemblies and more particularly, for reducing shunt current in series connected bipolar assemblies.

    摘要: The performance of a permselective cation transporting membrane is improved by making the membrane a three or more layer structure in which the layer having the best hydroxyl (OH) ion rejection characteristic is in the interior of the membrane. The OH ion rejection layer, which typically has sulfonamide or carboxylic functional groups, is covered by a cation transporting layer having sulfonate functional groups to which the cathode electrode is attached by bonding or otherwise. This keeps the high caustic concentrations present at the membrane-electrode interface away from the sulfonamide, etc. rejection layer.

    摘要: An HCl electrolyzer utilizing a membrane with catalytic electrodes physically bonded to the surfaces of the membrane is provided with an electron current conducting structure which comprises an array of individual current conducting elements contacting the electrode. The cell is operated at high temperatures (60.degree.-90.degree. C.) to take advantage of the reduction of electrode overpotential at these temperatures but with low feed acid concentrations (.ltoreq.9M) to minimize hydrogen chloride in the chlorine, i.e, HCl vapor pressure is below 0.1 atmospheres--76 Torr. There is also a large decrease in membrane resistance as temperature is increased. Simultaneously O.sub.2 evolution is suppressed to maintain O.sub.2 content in the chlorine at 0.1% or less.
