Definitions

  • titanium anodes with active metal-containing active layers or graphite electrodes are generally used today. These so-called dimensionally stable titanium anodes have the advantage over the graphite electrodes that the external dimensions do not change during operation.
  • the disadvantage of these anodes is the relatively high production costs due to the use of noble metal in the active layer.
  • magnetite can be used as an anode material for the separation of chlorine, but this material has a very high overvoltage with regard to chlorine, so that its use has been discontinued for a long time due to the high energy consumption.
  • an electrode consisting predominantly of trivalent iron oxide with additions of one or more metal oxides is described.
  • an oxide mixture is obtained from an iron salt solution via a carrier precipitation, which is then pressed and sintered in an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
  • Titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide and / or tin dioxide are mentioned as additional oxides.
  • this electrode has a deposition potential for Chlorine of 1.65 V GKE (measured against saturated K alomel electrodes), at a current density of 1 kA / m 2 , which corresponds to a chlorine separation voltage of 1.9 V based on the normal hydrogen potential. With increasing current density, the deposition potential increases considerably, so that this electrode achieves an impermissibly high deposition potential at the current densities of 1.5 to 2.0 kA / m 2 that are currently used in technical systems.
  • DE-OS 23 20 883 describes anodes which consist of sintered bodies with a spinel structure of the general formula MxFe3-x04 and are said to be suitable as chlorine anodes.
  • M means a metal from the group consisting of manganese, nickel, cobalt, magnesium, copper, zinc and / or cadmium and x stands for 0.05 to 0.4.
  • the present invention had for its object to provide the electrol, whose electrochemically active layer contains spinels, which are particularly suitable as anodes for the separation of chlorine in electrolysis cells and which, in addition to good corrosion resistance to the electrolyte and the electrolysis products, are associated with a high level Service life, have a low separation voltage for chlorine.
  • the electrode according to the invention contains the two spinels as individual spinels and that they do not form a mixed spinel.
  • the presence of the two substances next to one another can be proven in a known manner by means of an X-ray fine structure analysis.
  • the active layer preferably has the two spinels in a weight ratio of Fe 3 O 4 : CO 3 O 4 of 40:60 to 70:30.
  • the active layer can be on an electrically conductive support, e.g. a valve metal, graphite, magnetite.
  • an electrically conductive support e.g. a valve metal, graphite, magnetite.
  • the electrodes according to the invention are produced under conditions such that mixed spinel formation cannot take place, special conditions having to be observed since CO 3 O 4 tends to easily separate into two finished cobalt oxide and vice versa Fe 3 O 4 has the tendency to easily transition into trivalent iron oxide, with the formation of a cobalt-iron mixing spinel.
  • a suitable method to achieve this goal is the plasma spraying process.
  • the two powdered spinels are mixed thoroughly before processing. They should be useful grain sizes of 10 to 200 / um, to which preferably of ⁇ 125 /.
  • the mixture is then placed in the storage container of a plasma spray gun, taking care to ensure that no segregation occurs both during metering and during transport.
  • a conventional plasma spraying system can be used for the coating, with either argon alone or argon in a mixture with up to 10% by volume of hydrogen being considered as carrier gas. It is also essential that the plasma spraying system is operated in a low energy range, ie that values of 30 kW are not exceeded, with a minimum amount of 6 kW being adhered to for design reasons.
  • the body to be coated should be degreased beforehand in a known manner and then the surface should be prepared by sandblasting, pickling and the like.
  • the distance between the plasma flame and the body to be coated should suitably be 7 to 12 cm.
  • the plasma flame is moved back and forth in front of the body to be coated until the spray layer has reached the desired thickness.
  • the active layer is effective even with a relatively small thickness of 20 to 30 ⁇ m, although of course much thicker layers are permissible, up to electrodes which consist exclusively of the electrochemically active material.
  • a powder of a valve metal can also be added to the spinel mixture to be sprayed.
  • other substances can also be added if special properties are desired and if these other substances do not impair the electrochemical activity of the spinel layer.
  • the electrodes according to the invention when used as anodes in the electrolysis of aqueous alkali metal chloride solutions, have a chlorine separation potential of 1395 mV at current densities of 0.15 kA / m 2 , based on the normal H2 electrode, ie the overvoltage is only approx . 35 mV. But even with the higher current densities of 1.5 kA / m 2 to 6 kA / m 2 , which are of particular technical interest, the electrodes are characterized by a low overvoltage, with the deposition potential at 1.5 kA / m 2 depending on the substrate between approx 1450 and a maximum of about 1600 mV.
  • the electrodes according to the invention are notable for good chemical and mechanical resistance, and even if graphite is used as the substrate, practically no erosion can be ascertained even with longer standing times.
  • the anodes produced in this way are subjected to a voltage test under the operating conditions of chlor-alkali electrolysis.
  • the following deposition potentials are measured (against normal H 2 electrodes):
  • An active layer of Fe 3 0 4 : C 03 0 4 (weight ratio 70:30) is applied to a base body made of electrographite with the dimensions of the electrode area of 20 x 15 x 10 mm.
  • Argon serves as the carrier gas, the injection energy is 18 kW and the distance of the plasma flame from the electrographite base body is 9 cm.
  • a comparison of these deposition voltages measured at 1.5 kA / m 2 with the Ab measured in Examples 1 to 4 cutting voltages in the electrodes according to the invention shows a difference of more than 250 mV.
  • This electrode also has a deposition potential increased by approximately 200 mV at 1.5 kA / m 2 compared to the electrodes according to the invention .
  • the anode is produced as described in Example 1, argon being used as the plasma gas at an injection energy of 32 kW.
  • the weight ratio Fe 3 O 4 : CO 3 O 4 (grain size ⁇ 125 ⁇ m) is 70:30.
  • the deposition potential is determined under the same conditions as in Examples 1 to 4. The following values are determined:
