Titanium anodes are mainly used in the two industrial sectors of electrochemistry and electrometallurgy. Electrolytic industries using metal anodes include: chlor-alkali industry, aluminate production, water electrolysis, hospital sewage treatment, domestic water and food utensils disinfection, industrial water treatment, steel plate galvanized chrome plating, electrodialysis desalination, seawater, batteries Production, cathodic protection, titanium-based metal oxide coatings, etc. Applications include chemical, metallurgical, water treatment, environmental protection, electroplating, electrolytic organic synthesis and other industries.
Platinum-coated titanium anodes, Ru-Ir coated titanium anodes, and Ir-ta coated titanium anodes are the most commonly used coatings in titanium anodes. Their advantages are obvious, as shown below.
1. The anode size is stable, and the distance between the electrodes does not change during the point solution process, which can ensure that the electrolysis operation is performed under the condition that the tank voltage is stable.
2. The working voltage is low, so the power consumption is small, the power consumption can be saved, and the DC power consumption can be reduced by 10% to 20%.
3. The working life of titanium anode is long. In the chlorine gas industry produced by diaphragm method, the metal anode is resistant to chlorine and alkali corrosion. The anode life has reached more than 6 years, while the graphite anode is only 8 months.
4. It can overcome the problem of dissolution of graphite anode and lead anode, avoiding pollution of point solution and cathode product, thus improving the purity of metal products.
5. Can increase the current density. When electrolysis is carried out at a high working current density, it is preferred to use a titanium anode.
6. In the production of chlor-alkali, after using titanium anode, the product quality is high, the purity of chlorine gas is high, CO2 is not contained, the alkali concentration is high, and energy consumption is saved.
7. Avoid the short circuit problem after the lead anode is deformed, thus improving the current efficiency.
8. Titanium anodes are light in weight and reduce labor intensity.
9. With metal anode, the high temperature and high current density operation of the chlorate electrolytic cell becomes possible.
10 low overpotential characteristics, the surface between the electrodes and the bubbles of the electrodes are easily eliminated, which is an important reason for the voltage drop of the metal anode electrolytic cell.
