Description

Composite electrodes for online measurement of acidity
The present invention relates to the measuring electrode of pH, specifically relate to the high temperature resistant combination electrode of pH on-line measurement.
Prior art is: in technological process, often run into the problem of on-line measurement pH under hot conditions, or on-line measurement need stand the problem of high temperature test with the pH electrode.The former example is the pH on-line measurement of power plant's high-temperature boiler water, and the latter's example is a zymotechnique pH on-line measurement electrode.
In microbiotic, monosodium glutamate, ascorbic zymotechnique,, the operation of high-temperature sterilization in early stage is arranged all until in all bionic zymotechniques.At this moment, the temperature of steam or liquid between 120-150 ℃, for the time 20 minutes to 2 hours.For the glass pH electrode of common usefulness,, can cause electrode failure mainly due to the destruction of high temperature lower-glass surface gel layer.Other special glass electrode costs are high, and, in order to avoid the influence of high temperature, usually when high-temperature sterilization, electrode body is moved back in the storage chamber in the fermentation tank, not only the Operation and Maintenance inconvenience also easily causes microbiological contamination.
In order to remedy the weak point of glass pH electrode, various replacement schemes have been proposed, as zirconia ceramics electrode, ion-sensitive field effect transistor electrode, exchange membrane electrode, tempered glass electrode, modified electrode, charcoal paste electrode etc.They have the characteristics of himself, but have in the pH on-line measurement of pyroprocess in this class of zymotechnique, do not enter the practical stage yet so far.
Metal electrode is antimony, bismuth, iridium, platinum, palladium, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, titanium, stainless steel electrode etc. for example, is known by people for a long time.It has simple in structure, be easy to advantages such as processing and forming, internal resistance be low, high temperature resistant, be suitable for the pH on-line measurement of technological process.But the very easy generation oxide film of surface of metal electrode, this is disadvantageous as a rule.Oxide film makes the electrode surface state labile, causes the drift and the fluctuation of electrode potential, pH is measured can't carry out at all.In order in time to remove the oxide film of electrode surface, often adopt mechanical ablution, make squeegee material exactly, for example oilstone, fiberglass etc. are pressed close to surface of metal electrode.By motor-driven or liquid flow, scraping blade is rotated with respect to metal electrode, thereby bring in constant renewal in electrode surface, as described in USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) patent SU-418784 and Chinese patent 85204611.The shortcoming of this cleaning device, except cleanup action not exclusively, also exist complex structure, bulky, safeguard disadvantage such as inconvenience.
The scheme of another kind of improvement metal electrode comprises metal electrode and the employing monocrystalline that adopts high-purity (>99.999%) and makes the method for single crystal face as potential electrode, as described in U.S. Pat 4338175 and US4119498.But their preparation method is more complicated, and cost is very high, and does the time spent for a long time in technology, still can not eliminate the intrinsic shortcoming of metal electrode fully.
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of stable performance, simple in structure, volume is small and exquisite, sealing is reliable, safeguard combination electrode easy to use.
Technical scheme of the present invention:
Combination electrode of the present invention has been to use the technology of zone-melting, and the metal electrode that the pH sensitivity characteristic is arranged is carried out recrystallization.
Combination electrode of the present invention is to have used an auxiliary electrode, so that there is the metal electrode of pH sensitivity characteristic to be under the condition of cathodic protection.
Combination electrode of the present invention is to have used fully enclosed solid-state reference electrode, and it constitutes conductive liquid network portion based on polymeric material, the seepage of reference liquid in stoping.
Combination electrode of the present invention also is to reduce metal electrode as far as possible on the structural design, the volume of auxiliary electrode and contrast electrode, and making them be placed in one compactly is in the electrode shell of matrix with the polymkeric substance, is beneficial to maintenance, airtight and installation.
Range of application of the present invention comprises metal electrodes such as antimony, bismuth, palladium, molybdenum, stainless steel, in order to narrate conveniently, below only is that example is illustrated with the antimony electrode.In addition, understanding for essence of the present invention being had more in depth, will be representative with the antimony electrode also, and the principle of its pH response is briefly illustrated.
For a long time, it is believed that antimony is based on reaction to the response mechanism of pH:
The pass of deriving antimony electrode electromotive force Esb and pH value of solution according to thermodynamic principles is thus:
In the following formula, E θ SbBe the standard electrode potential of antimony, R is a gas law constant, and F is a Faraday constant, and T is an absolute temperature.
But in actual applications, the electromotive force drift often takes place in antimony electrode, the potential pH slope of a curve is lower than theoretical value, electromotive force is subjected to the influence of solution stirring speed and air content etc., more tangible phenomenon is, electrode surface tarnishes, forms black film very soon, and these all are difficult to explain with theory of thermodynamics.By more deep research, can think that now it is the corroding electrode of conjugation cathode reaction (or title " oxygen depolarization ") that antimony electrode is actually with the dissolved oxygen DO.The antimony that we measured is actually under this pH system the electrode potential of pH response, the corrosion potential that the oxidation of antimony and dissolved oxygen DO reduction are constituted.
The present invention has following accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is the potential pH sketch of antimony
Fig. 2 is an antimony potential change synoptic diagram
Fig. 3 is the metal electrode sketch
Fig. 4 is metal electrode principle of cathodic protection figure
Fig. 5 is solid state reference electrode figure
Fig. 6 is the pH combination electrode
Fig. 7 is pH combination electrode on-line measurement figure as a result
Fig. 1 is the potential pH sketch of antimony.Its center line a and b are respectively the balanced lines of hydrogen and oxygen.Line C is Sb/Sb 2O 3Balanced line.Hatched area below the line C is antimony " exempting from rotten district ", when the antimony electrode electromotive force is in this scope, can eliminate the possibility that the antimony galvanic corrosion takes place.As can be seen from Figure 1, in broad pH (0-12) scope, Sb and Sb 2O 3Keep good linear relationship, this has beaten the basis for the pH sensitivity characteristic of antimony electrode, but the position of line C also just means the tendency that the following redox reaction of generation is arranged under line b:
Fig. 2 has made further instruction to this phenomenon.It is Sb and dissolved oxygen DO in certain pH system, when redox reaction takes place, the synoptic diagram of potential change, for brevity, all polarization curves all replace with straight line.Ordinate among Fig. 2 is electromotive force E, and horizontal ordinate is the absolute value of corrosion current | I|.When corrosion current was 0, when also promptly being in thermodynamic equilibrium state, (pHC), the equilibrium potential that oxygen and antimony are corresponding respectively was E for pHA, pHB according to different pH systems P O, A ', E P O, B 'E P O, CAnd E P Sb, A 'And E P, E P Sb, B 'E P Sb, CPass between this equilibrium potential and the pH value ties up to and meets following thermodynamics expression formula under 25 ℃
EO 2/H 2O=1.23-0.059pH+0.151gPO 2 (5)
ESb/Sb 2O 3=0.15-0.059pH (antimony cubic system) (6)
But under the situation that above-mentioned reaction (3) and (4) takes place, just under the situation that produces the macro etch electric current, balance is destroyed, has produced polarization as shown in Figure 2.The intersection point of their polarization curve is respectively E A', E B', and E C', this is the corrosion potential that we can practical measurement.Also keeping certain corresponding relation between its numerical value and the system pH.But this corresponding relation is unsettled, and is uncertain.When solution stirring speed and oxygen level change, must influence the polarization curve of oxygen, thereby influence the value of corrosion potential.Even stirring rate and oxygen level are constant,, changing anodic site (area and the ratio of react (4) and cathodic area ((3) react) because the antimony surface is constantly corroded.On the whole, the anodic site constantly diminishes, and the cathodic area constantly increases, thereby anode polarization is increased, and cathodic polarization reduces.Be in original pHA system shown in two dotted lines among Fig. 2, because the variation of polarization curve makes corrosion potential become E A".Can illustrate qualitatively that thus antimony electrode reappears and fundamental cause accurately the response of PH is not enough.This shows, for make with the antimony electrode be the electromotive force of numerous metal electrodes of representative can stablize, accurately, pH value of reaction system linearly, key is to suppress the corrosion process of electrode surface.
Measure in order to finish pH, except the pH sensitive electrode, the stable and reproduction of contrast electrode electromotive force is vital.Especially under hot conditions, the volatilization and the seepage of reference solution more have practical significance in stoping.This also is one of the present invention's problem of trying hard to solve.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, invention is further elaborated.
