Problems solved by technology

[0025] In chlor-alkali production, the traditional titanium-based ruthenium-titanium coating has been tested in production practice, and its defects are found to be: the electrode life is short, and the oxygen content in the produced chlorine gas is too high, which affects the purity of chlorine gas and causes a decrease in current efficiency.
