Abstract

The invention discloses an electrolytic cell in electro-deoxidization metallurgy process, which is divided into a negative electrode region and a positive electrode region, which have the effect of isolating the flow of fused salts while achieving free exchange of ions, thus suppressing the occurrence of side reaction of positive and negative electrode products; the positive electrode in the electrolytic cell is rotated to accelerate the deoxidization speed and simultaneously, the emission of tail gas in the positive electrode region is quickened up in a manner of oriented-circulating protective gas stream in order to avoid overhigh content of the tail gas within the electrolytic cell; the electrodes of the electrolytic cell are changed into be arrayed in parallel, which breaks the limitation of traditional single electrode, the negative electrode and the positive electrode correspondingly form counter electrodes so as to polarize the electro-deoxidization task of the electrodes. The parallel-type electrodes can also adjust the array number of the counter electrodes according to requirement so as to change production ability without more improvements on equipment and production conditions, and to guarantee product quality as well. The electrolytic cell according to the invention has large production ability and short production period and is capable of realizing semi-continuous product.

Description

A kind of electrolytic cell in electro-deoxidization metallurgy process
Technical field
The present invention relates to the design of electrolysis cells that the metal oxide electrochemical deoxidation prepares metal simple-substance or alloy, particularly a kind of electrolytic cell in electro-deoxidization metallurgy process technological design.
Background technology
The method of generally using in world's titanium sponge industrial production is a Kroll technology.The Kroll method mainly adopts metal M g reduction TiCl 4Operation-vacuum separation operation is made metal titanium, and this technology can make highly purified metal titanium.But this technology owing to thermal reduction process flow length, complex procedures, can not continuous production etc. reason make the titanium production cost high, the environmental pollution in the production process has in addition restricted the widespread use of titanium greatly.Improve although a lot of researchists attempt that Kroll technology is carried out some, the improvement of some technical elements of presentation of results can not change the expensive defective of this method.Therefore, adopting novel titanium extractive technique to replace the Kroll traditional technology is important prerequisite of titanium industrial development.
At present, " metal oxide and sosoloid molten salt electrodeoxidation method " (FFC method, international patent 99808568.5) all obtained certain achievement in the research aspect technology and the basic theory in recent years.The FFC method has broken through that people thought in the past can only be TiCl 4Dissolve in thought in the ionogen as raw material, directly utilize solid phase t iO 2As negative electrode, the chlorination in the traditional technology, refining TiCl have been saved 4, complicated procedures of forming such as magnesium reduction and vacuum distilling, particularly do not have the chlorine discharging, have save energy, pollute advantages such as few.
At present the FFC electro-deoxiedation prepares and exists side reaction ratio problem bigger than normal in the metal titanium technology, and this problem causes electrolysis production process reaction overlong time, current efficiency is low excessively, product quality is not high.
Summary of the invention
Order of the present invention provides a kind of electrolytic cell in electro-deoxidization metallurgy process, and on the basis that guarantees production level and product quality, the carrying out that effectively stops side reaction eliminated the unfavorable factor that side reaction brings, and eliminates the potential safety hazard in the production process.
Cell body of the present invention adopts stainless steel trough body, in graphite linings is arranged, electrolyzer inside is divided into cathodic area and positive column by dividing plate, two districts are relatively independent but can carry out ion-exchange freely, a plurality of titanium oxide cathode bar parallel waies are adopted in the access of electrode, anode adopt rotating electrode and with the corresponding one by one composition of negative electrode electrode pair, the electrolyzer top cover adopts stainless steel equally and is furnished with circuit, air-path interface.
Another technical scheme of the present invention is that described dividing plate is Al 2O 3, MgO, Al 2O 3One of-MgO material, its porosity show porosity 10~30% 40%~70%, show aperture, hole 0.1~2mm level, thickness 2mm~10mm.
Another technical scheme of the present invention is that described anode rotating speed generally is controlled at 60~180rpm.
Consider the serious side reaction carbon-coating problem of influence in the electrolytic process, introduce Al 2O 3Or MgO or Al 2O 3-MgO material dividing plate is divided into negative and positive two polar regions with electrolyzer, and interval, the two poles of the earth is realizing having again fused salt mobile buffer action when ion freely exchanges, thereby the side reaction that suppresses negative and positive the two poles of the earth product takes place, and negative and positive two polar region areas are about 6: 4 than design.Wherein the cathodic area is as the reduction zone, and the reduction reaction of high price titanium is carried out in this district, the oxygen in the former titanium oxide in the titanium reduction process from electrode interior progress into fused salt mutually, reach separating of metal and oxygen; The positive column is designed to the deoxidation district, and the oxygen in the fused salt is discharged in positive column discharge and with gas form, and the continuous reduction of oxygen concn makes the oxygen in cathodic area constantly be shifted in mutually to fused salt by electrode interior, thus realization deep deoxidation purpose.
The electrolyzer top cover comprises the parallel interface that is complementary with arrangement of electrodes, and protection gas (argon gas) inserts the tail gas outlet orifice on hole, anode top, and wherein electrode interface all is furnished with insulativity excellent protection pad.Total interface can satisfy the resistance to air loss requirement in the production all by screw thread and sealing-ring fixing seal.Because production process is to carry out in high-temperature fusion salt, and is too high for fear of the temperature of top cover, be equipped with water-cooling circulating system, prevent the premature aging and the corrosion of equipment.
A plurality of titanium oxide cathode bar parallel waies are adopted in the collocation of adjustment electrode, and electric deoxidation process hyperchannel is carried out.The cathode and anode interpole gap is controlled at more than the 200mm.
The invention advantage
The present invention is on the basis that guarantees production level and product quality, the carrying out that effectively stops side reaction, eliminate the unfavorable factor that side reaction brings, eliminate the potential safety hazard in the production process, and electrolyzer throughput of the present invention big, with short production cycle, can realize semi-continuous production.
