Problems solved by technology

For example, the lower concentration of chloride ions in seawater will lead to a decrease in current efficiency and a higher oxygen content in the precipitated gas; the composition of seawater is complex, and harmful ions, especially Mn 2+ It will deposit on the surface of the anode and cause problems such as electrocatalytic "deactivation"
In addition, the abrasion of solid suspended matter in seawater and the scouring effect of fast seawater flow may cause mechanical damage to the oxide anode, etc.
Due to the above reasons, the oxide anodes currently used in the chlor-alkali industry cannot meet the requirements of marine use
U.S. Patent USP.4,479,864 has reported a kind of titanium base Pt-Ir-Ru oxide anode that is used in seawater environment, and the weight ratio of its composition is Pt: Ir: Ru=(15~85):(5~35):( 10-50), this oxide anode can maintain high current efficiency in low temperature seawater; however, the oxide anode is made of noble metals, and the production cost is high, and the author did not use this oxide anode in Long-term electrolytic performance in seawater was studied

Abstract

The sea water pollution resisting oxide anode includes titanium or titanium alloy base and oxide coating on the base, and features that the oxide coating contains RuO2, IrO2, SnO2, PtO2 and Ta2O5 in the amount of Ru 10-45 wt%, (Ir+Pt) 6-50 wt%, and (Ta+Sn) 5-84 wt%. The oxide anode is prepared through dissolving chloroiridic acid, rhthenium chloride, chloroplatinic acid, tantalum choride and dibutyl tin dilaurate based on the said composition in n-butyl alcohol to form the coating fluid; coating the coating fluid to treated titanium base; drying at 60-120 deg.c for 10 min; sintering at 350-520 deg.c for 10 min; repeating the forgoing steps until reaching oxide coating of 6-15 g / sq m; and final sintering at 400-520 deg.c for 1hr. The oxide anode of the present invention may be used widely in electrolyzing water for treating sea water, salty water, swimming pool water, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrochemistry, and relates to an oxide anode suitable for producing chlorine by seawater electrolysis and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the electrolysis method has been used on a large scale in the chlor-alkali industry. It mainly electrolyzes alkali metal chloride aqueous solution to produce chlorine gas, alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal hypochlorite and alkali metal chlorate. The electrolytic cell in the chlor-alkali industry is generally a diaphragm electrolytic cell with alternating cathodes and anodes. The diaphragm is a hydraulically permeable porous diaphragm or a substantially hydraulically impermeable ion exchange membrane, which is located between the anode and the cathode. The anode material is "DSA" - dimensionally stable anode, the most widely used at present is to coat the mixed oxide of ruthenium and titanium on the industrial pure titanium substrate ...
