Coating surface treatment

Different treatments are selected for different metal mixed oxide coatings to increase surface roughness and improve coating bonding.

Pickling, soaking and drying

Acid washing activates the substrate surface, which must then be thoroughly rinsed, soaked, and dried to facilitate smooth coating application.
 

Repeated brushing and sintering

Precious metal coatings are deposited on surface through repeated brushing and sintering, enhancing the durability and efficiency of anodes.
 

Quality Controls

Titanium anodes are tested by enhanced life testing, scanning electron microscopy coating conditions and energy spectrum analyzers to ensure quality compliance.

Packing and shipping

Each titanium electrode is meticulously packaged to safeguard the coating from transport damage and includes a detailed quality inspection report and a certificate of compliance.

The titanium electrodes FAQ

What industries are ruthenium-iridium titanium anodes used in?
  1. Chlor-alkali industry: To produce chlorine and caustic soda by saltwater electrolysis.
  2. Electroplating: For surface treatment and coating metals.
  3. Seawater desalination: Used in processes like electrodialysis and reverse osmosis.
  4. Water treatment: For wastewater purification and electrochemical oxidation.
  5. Cathodic protection: To prevent metal structures from corrosion.
  6. Organic and electrochemical synthesis: For producing specific organic compounds.

1. Excellent Catalytic Performance

  • Chlorine Evolution Reaction (Cl₂): In the chlor-alkali process, the main reaction at the anode is:

    2ClCl2(g)+2e

    Ruthenium-iridium coatings have low overpotential and high efficiency for chlorine generation.

  • Oxygen Evolution Reaction (O₂): In water treatment and electroplating, the anode reaction is often:

    2H2OO2(g)+4H++4e

    The coating is also effective at catalyzing oxygen generation.

2. Corrosion Resistance

  • Ruthenium and iridium are noble metals that resist corrosion, even in harsh environments with strong acids, bases, or chlorine.

3. Long Service Life

  • The coating bonds well to the titanium base and doesn’t peel off easily, ensuring a long lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Ruthenium (Ru): Excellent for chlorine evolution (Cl₂), used in chlor-alkali and chloride-rich environments.
  • Iridium (Ir): Great for oxygen evolution (O₂), used in water treatment and plating processes.
  • Ratio matters: Adjusting the Ru-Ir ratio changes the anode’s catalytic performance, corrosion resistance, and cost.

1. Check Materials and Coating Specifications
Base Material: Ensure the anode uses pure industrial titanium, like Gr1 or Gr2, for its corrosion resistance and strength.
Coating Ratio: Ask for the Ru/Ir ratio (e.g., 70:30 or 50:50) and coating thickness (usually 5-10 microns).
Test Reports: Request material composition and coating analysis, such as spectrometry results.
2. Test Product Performance
Electrochemical Testing:
Ask for performance reports showing:
Chlorine evolution potential (Cl₂)
Oxygen evolution potential (O₂)
Durability tests (e.g., accelerated lifespan testing)
Check efficiency and stability under your application conditions.
Corrosion Resistance:
Review tests showing the coating’s resistance in harsh environments, such as acidic, alkaline, or chloride-rich solutions.

    • Frequency:
      1. Inspect every quarter or half-year, especially in high-current environments.
    • Note:
      1. If the current is too low, it could indicate power supply issues, coating damage, or increased electrolyte resistance.

    Method 2: Potential Testing

    • Steps:
      1. Measure the potential difference between the protected structure and a reference electrode (e.g., Cu/CuSO₄ electrode).
      2. Confirm that the protected structure remains within the safe potential range (e.g., below -850 mV for steel structures).
    • Purpose:
      • Indirectly evaluate the current distribution and performance of the anode.

    Method 3: Voltage Drop Test

    • Steps:
      1. Measure the voltage drop at the anode connection points.

    Method 3: Resistance Testing

    • Steps:
      1. Test the surface resistance or overall conductivity of the anode.
      2. A significant increase in resistance may indicate coating damage or decreased uniformity.

    Method 4: Electrochemical Performance Testing

    • Steps:
      1. Place the anode in a simulated electrolyte and measure overpotential and current efficiency.
      2. Assess the anode’s performance under working conditions.

    • In some regions, groundwater may contain high hardness or iron and manganese ions, which could affect performance.

2. Water Quality Requirements

  • TDS (Total Dissolved Solids):
    • The total dissolved solids content should be below 200mg/L to prevent scaling on the electrodes.
  • Hardness:
    • Water hardness should be less than 120mg/L (as CaCO₃) to reduce calcium and magnesium deposits.
  • Impurities:
    • Suspended particles, sand, and other impurities must be removed. A filter is recommended for pre-treatment.
  • Heavy Metal Ions:
    • Avoid water with high concentrations of iron, manganese, or other heavy metal ions.
  • Chloride Ions:
    • Adequate chloride ion levels (usually maintained by dissolving salt) are required to ensure electrolysis efficiency.

1. Operating Costs

  • Sodium Hypochlorite Generators:
    • Use salt and electricity as raw materials, making operating costs relatively low.
    • Ideal for large-scale applications, with unit disinfection costs decreasing as production scales up.
  • Traditional Disinfection Methods:
    • Use liquid chlorine or bleach powder, with lower initial procurement costs but higher transportation and storage expenses.
    • Long-term use increases total costs due to continuous chemical purchases.
