摘要:
The present invention relates in general to a new and improved process and apparatus for removing metallic ions from an electrolytic solution, and it relates more particularly to a process and apparatus which may be used to economically purify an electrolytic solution containing only minute amounts of metallic ions. Those knowledgable in the metal plating art will readily understand the application of this process and apparatus for the final treatment of metal finishing waste fluids. As is explained more fully hereinafter, the process and apparatus of the present invention is also effective in removing organic compounds and phosphates from the electrolytic solution under treatment.
摘要:
A new apparatus and method for desalinating water. The principal impurities in sea water or brackish are in ionic form, which are removed by leaving purified water behind. The energy required to remove the ions may be partially recovered in this process and reused for further desalination, resulting in a further decrease in operating costs.
摘要:
A system for the fused floride electrolysis of aluminum in a potcell wherein a carbonaceous anode and potlining are preserved against deterioration by impregnating their respective surfaces with a pitch-fluoride mixture and a pitch-graphite mixture. Atmospheric oxidation of anode surfaces is prevented so maximum anode cross sectional area is preserved and, hence, has minimum resistance for current travel through the anode and through the underlying electrolyte. The more dense carbon surface also reduces corner erosion of anodes. Impregnation is preferably carried out with one or more applications of aluminum fluoride suspended in a high melting, low volatile coal tar pitch. An improved potlining protects against electrolyte penetration and circulating metal erosion of the potlining surface, and improves conductivity; the lining bottom is sealed and smoothed with graphite suspended in molten pitch, which is absorbed by capillary attraction, and which increases conductivity. The lining walls are sealed and smoothed with a similar mixture of fluorspar and pitch, which decreases conductivity.

AN ELECRODE EMPLOYED IN AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL IS PROVIDED WITH AT LEAST ONE PASSAGEWAY EXTENDING THERETHROUGH, PREFERABLY IN A GENERALLY VERTICAL DIRECTION. ELECTROLYTE CIRCULATES THROUGH SAID PASSAGEWAY AND COOLS SAID ELECTRODE. IF DESIRED, CIRCULATION OF SAID ELECTROLYTE CAN
BE ENHANCED BY INTRODUCING AN INERT GAS INTO SAID PASSAGEWAY.

DISCLOSED IS AN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS OF REDUCING CR(VI) OTO CR(III) IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION. THE PH OF THE SOLUTION IS ADJUSTED TO ABOUT 1.5-3 AND SUBJECTED TO THE ACTION OF AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL BY PASSING THE SOLUTION THROUGH THE CELL AND HECE THE CATHODE THEREOF. THE CATHODE OF THE CELL IS MADE OF AN ELECTROLYTICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL, FOR INSTANCE CARBON, HAVING A HIGH SURFACE AREA PER UNIT VOLUME.

Apparatus for decomposing amalgams comprising a plurality of vertically spaced bars of active material as, e.g., graphite, titanium carbide, etc., over the surface of which, spirals of materials wettable by amalgam such as steel, are wound. Such bars are disposed in vertically disposed vessel, and the amalgam to be decomposed is flowed thereover.

AN ELECTRODE, ESPECIALLY AN ANODE FOR ELECTROLYTIC PRODUCTION OF ALUMINUM, IS PROTECTD AGAINST OXIDATION IN SERVICE BY MEANS OF A COATING CONSISTING OF A MATERIAL WHICH HAS BEEN APPLIED AS PARTICLES AT LEAST PARTLY MOLTEN AT HIGH TEMPERATURE, AND HAS SOLIDIFIED IN SITU, SO THAT IN THE COATING THE SAID PARTICLES ARE BONDED TOGETHER OVER AT LEAST A PART OF THEIR EXTERIOR. THE COATING MATERIAL INCLUDES ALUMINUM OXIDE AND FACULTATIVELY ALUMINIUM, BOTH THEN BEING APPLIED SIMULTANEOUSLY AS A CERMET OR AS SUCCESSIVE LAYERS IN SANDWICH STRUCTURE. THE COATING HS PREFERABLY A THICKNESS OF 0.1 TO 1.0 MM.AND HAS SUITABLY BENN APPLIED BY MEANS OF A PLASMA BURNER.

AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE ELECTROLYTIC TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER IS DESCRIBED IN WHICH THE REDUCTION OF OXYGEN ON AN ACTIVATED CARBON CATHODE IS EMPLOYED TO FORM HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, WHICH IN TURN SERVES TO OXIDIZE ORGANIC CARBON POLLUTANTS IN THE WASTEWATER. THE OXYGEN IS FED TO THE ACTIVATED CARBON CATHODE FROM OUTSIDE THE ELECTROLYTIC
CEIL, WITH THE CATHODE MEMBER DEFINING AT LEAST PART OF THE ENCLOSURE FOR FEEDING THE GAS TO THE ACTIVATED CARBON CATHODE SURFACE, AND WITH THE CATHODE SURFACE FORMING PART OF THE BOUNDRY OF THE CELL COMPARTMENT.

AN ANODE STRUCTURE, PARTICULARLY FOR AMALGAM HIGH LOAD CELLS, IN WHICH THE ANODE IS MADE UP OF A PLURALITY OF GRAPHITE PLATES CONNECTED TO CURRENT CONDUCTING RAILS BY CURRENT CONDUCTING BOLTS WHICH ENGAGE BUSHING IN THE UPPER EDGES OF THE GRAPHITE PLATES. THE ANODE STRUCTURE IS RECEIVABLE IN A CELL HAVING A CONFINING WALL AND A CELL
MEMBER ENGAGES THE WALL AND EXTENDS OVER THE ANODE AND BENEATH THE CURRENT CONDUCTING RAILS AND ENGAGES THE TOPS OF THE BUSHINGS SO THAT ONLY THE GRAPHITE PLATES AND BUSHINGS ARE EXPOSED TO HE INTERIOR OF THE CELL.
摘要:
Hydrazine is produced in a two chamber electrolytic cell with anode and cathode chambers separated by an ion exchange membrane. When using an anion exchange membrane, ammonia and nonaqueous solvent are fed to the cathode compartment and hydrazine and solvent are collected from the anode compartment. When using a cation exchange membrane ammonia and nonaqueous solvent are fed to the anode compartment while hydrazine is also removed from the anode compartment. Similarly, alkyl hydrazines can be produced by feeding a lower alkyl amine instead of ammonia.
