Description

Graphite anode used for electrolysis and its manufacturing method
The present invention relates to a kind of anode and manufacture method thereof, particularly a kind of graphite anode and manufacture method thereof that is used for chlorine industry.
Graphite is a kind of inexpensive, use range anode material widely in electrolytic industry, especially in chlorine industry, in a large number as the anode of sodium chloride electrolysis.But graphite as the shortcoming that anode exists is, graphite is porous material, and is easily oxidized in electrolytic process, and corroded, and makes that its wastage rate in electrolytic process are big, the life-span short, generally about 6~7 months of the graphite anode life-span of using in chlor-alkali production; On the other hand, graphite anode chlorine overpotential height causes the power consumption height, and general chlor-alkali plant power consumption accounts for 50% of cost.Therefore people are being devoted to prolong the life-span of graphite anode always, and expectation reduction overpotential, reduce power consumption, and perhaps when the life-span prolonged, overpotential is not obvious to be increased, thus the not obvious increase of power consumption.In order to prolong the life-span of graphite anode, once there was patent SU511289 that siccative oil such as oleum lini, tung oil and polyester etc. are immersed in the graphite hole, to reach the electrolytic corrosion that slows down graphite, the purpose that increases the service life in the past.But because siccative oil solidifies difficulty and corrosion-resistant in graphite pores; Thermosetting polyester class curing process complexity, with the graphite material poor adhesion, the DeGrain of prolongs life.The solution impregnation graphite of clear 57-48508 of Japanese Patent and United States Patent (USP) 4255466 usefulness urethane, decompression adds the heat extraction partial solvent then, removes the urethane resin on surface again, uses high temperature (50~200 ℃), pressurization 0.5~20kg/cm at last in pressurizing vessel 2Solidify.The solvent of preparation polyurethane solution is a ketone, as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, mibk etc. and dimethyl formamide.This measure successfully make graphite anode life-span when 50 ℃ of electrolysis of handling extend to 1.1~1.7 times (with common graphite anode life be 1, then ratio reaches 1.1~1.7 the life-span).But still there are following defective in this method and goods thereof:
(1) the chlorine overpotential is than common graphite anode height (high approximately 50 millivolts), and this will increase the consumption of electricity in chloric alkali electrolysis.
(2) urethane that immerses in the graphite material is realized solidifying under high temperature (50~200 ℃) pressurization (pressurization is in order to prevent that the polyurethane solution that immerses in the graphite hole from flowing out) condition, require to use pressure-resistant equipment, its curing process and equipment complexity are brought certain difficulty to industrial production.Owing to comprise organic solvents such as ketone in the soaker, also make high-temperature pressurizing technology have unsafe factor.
(3) urethane after impregnated graphite solidifies, when being used for high-temperature electrolysis (nearly 100 ℃) process, poor heat stability, so that in the high-temperature electrolysis process (in for example general sodium-chlor membrane electrolysis), fail to reach satisfied treatment effect.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of improved graphite anode of chlorine industry and manufacture method thereof of being used for.This anode can not only prolong the life-span of graphite anode, and can reduce the chlorine overpotential, and its preparation method is also simple.
Electrode of the present invention is topped metal oxide and the urethane that electro catalytic activity is arranged in graphite body surface.Their ratio is a graphite: metal oxide: preferably 100: 0.4~1.5: 2~5(weight ratio urethane=100: 0.3~5: 0.8~20(weight ratio)).Metal oxide can increase the reactive behavior of graphite anode, improves speed of reaction, reduces the chlorine overpotential, has reduced the consumption of anode material simultaneously.Urethane can increase the graphite anode life-span and make the metal oxide adhere firmly.Therefore, electrode of the present invention has long, advantage such as power consumption is low of life-span.Metal oxide will have electro catalytic activity and characteristics such as water insoluble, as the oxide compound Co of cobalt 3O 4, the oxide compound of iron such as Fe 3O 4, Fe 2O 3, the oxide M nO of manganese x(x≤2), nickel/cobalt composite oxide etc. also can be the mixtures of above-mentioned metal oxide.
Electrode preparation method of the present invention is also simpler.Present method is the salts solution with metal, as nitrate, acetate etc. the decompression or normal pressure (33Pa~normal pressure) under, the impregnated graphite body, become water-insoluble metal oxide 100~140 ℃ of dry backs in 250~400 ℃ of roastings then, again in polyurethane solution, under 33Pa~normal pressure, flood, dry after the taking-up.Perhaps the metal oxide that will be fired into by metal powder, nitrate, acetate, carbonate in advance is blended in the urethane, at decompression or normal pressure (33Pa~normal pressure) impregnated graphite body, takes out then and dries.The urethane that the present invention adopts is polyether-type (polypropylene glycol ether or polyglycerol ether) urethane, also can adopt PAUR.Polyurethane solution concentration is 6~80%(weight).Solvent is with lower boiling, volatile being advisable (being convenient to the room temperature volatilization), and the solvent of preferentially selecting for use has vinyl acetic monomer, acetone, chloroform etc.
Dipping time generally is 10~20 minutes and gets final product.
Because the urethane resin layer that immerses in the graphite is invaded certain depth by metal oxide, perhaps metal oxide is invaded the layer of polyurethane of whole thickness, the thermal conduction and the electronic conductivity of urethane have been improved, therefore, graphite material after metal oxide-polyurethane impregnated, under high temperature (near 100 ℃), have thermostability preferably, can be used for the high-temperature electrolysis process.The graphite anode of making like this is about 50 ℃ or in 85~95 ℃ of intensified electrolysis (30g/lHCl makes ionogen) test, the life-span ratio reaches 1.2~3.5, and promptly the life-span extends to 1.2~3.5 times; The chlorine overpotential reduces by 0.2~0.3 volt.
