Definitions
- the present invention relates to a permeable diaphragm for an electrochemical cell, in particular for an electrolysis cell for aqueous solutions of alkali metal halides.
- It relates more particularly to a permeable diaphragm for an electrochemical cell, made of fibrous organic polymeric material.
- This known diaphragm has the disadvantage of requiring the incorporation of a surfactant in the aqueous medium used to manufacture it, so as to allow sufficient dispersion of the polymeric material therein. It has the additional disadvantage of requiring the addition of an additive wettable by aqueous electrolytes to the fibrous polymeric material, to make the diaphragm sufficiently wettable by these electrolytes.
- an additive wettable such as asbestos fibers, mica, talc, or particles of titanium dioxide
- the diaphragm is generally too hydrophobic to allow its normal use in electrochemical cells for the treatment of aqueous electrolytes, in particular in cells for the electrolysis of aqueous solutions of alkali metal halides.
- the known diaphragm described above also has the disadvantageous feature of being only achievable from a very specific and costly variety of polymer fibers, namely fibers obtained by extrusion of a polymer in the molten state. , subjected to an intense shearing force in an auxiliary liquid medium.
- This particular feature of the known diaphragm has the disadvantageous effect of adversely affecting its cost.
- porous sheets in which a fibrous polymeric material, generally a fluoropolymer, is dispersed in an organic liquid , for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon, and a felt is separated from the resulting organic suspension.
- an organic liquid for example, a halogenated hydrocarbon
- porous sheets of fibrous organic polymeric material obtained by this known process have the advantageous characteristic of having excellent behavior when they are used as permeable diaphragms in electrochemical cells, and more particularly in cells for electrolysis of aqueous solutions of alkali metal halides.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a permeable diaphragm made of fibrous organic polymeric material for an electrochemical cell, which simultaneously exhibits excellent wettability by aqueous electrolytes, in particular brines, and optimum permeability to these aqueous electrolytes during electrolysis.
- the invention relates to a diaphragm made of fibrous organic polymeric material for an electrochemical cell, said diaphragm consisting of a porous sheet obtained from a suspension of the fibrous polymeric material in an organic liquid.
- the organic fibrous polymeric material used in the context of the invention may be in the form of fibers or fibrils.
- fibrils is intended to denote a specific structure of the polymeric material.
- the fibrils consist of an aggregate of a multitude of very fine filaments, with a dandruff appearance, connected together so as to form a three-dimensional network.
- the fibrillated aggregates In appearance flaky, the fibrillated aggregates have an oblong shape; their length varies from approximately 0.5 to 50 mm and their diameter from a few microns to approximately 5 mm. They are characterized by a high specific surface, greater than 1 m 2 / g and even, in many cases, 10 m 2 / g .
- the fibrils used in the context of the invention can, for example, be produced by subjecting a mixture of a polymer in the molten state and of a solvent, to a sudden expansion through an appropriate orifice, as described in particular in French patents 1,596,107 of December 13, 1968, 2,148,449 and 2,148,450 of August 1, 1972 and in Belgian patents 811,778 of March 1, 1974 and 824,844 of January 17, 1975, all in the name of the Applicant.
- the fibrils used in the context of the invention can also be manufactured by other methods, for example by one or other of the methods described in French patents 1,214,157 of June 10, 1958 and 1,472 989 of September 24, 1965, in the name of EI du Pont de Nemours and Co. In these manufacturing processes, continuous fibrillated wicks are obtained, which must then be shredded, for example by grinding.
- the fibrous organic polymeric material is in the form of fibers
- fibers whose diameter is substantially between 0.1 and 25 microns are those having a diameter of between 1 and 15 microns.
- the choice of the polymer of the fibrous organic polymeric material is dictated by the need to obtain a diaphragm which resists the chemical and thermal conditions normally prevailing in electrochemical cells.
- thermoplastic polymers chosen from polyolefins, polycarbonates, polyesters, polyamides, polyimides, polyphenylenes, polyphenylene oxides, polyphenylene sulfides, polysulfones and mixtures of these polymers.
- fluorinated polymers are preferably used, according to the invention.
- Polymers containing fluorinated monomer units derived from ethylene or propylene are advantageously chosen, preferably polymers containing at least 50%, and more particularly at least 75%, of such monomer units.
- Particularly suitable polymers are those containing only monomeric units derived from ethylene or propylene in which all the hydrogen atoms have been substituted by chlorine or fluorine atoms.
- polymers which are suitable in the case where the diaphragm according to the invention is intended for the electrolysis of sodium chloride brines are those chosen from polytetrafluoroethylene, polychlortrifluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride , copolymers of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene, copolymers of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoralkylvinylether, copolymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene and vinylidene fluoride, copolymers of hydropentafluorpropylene and vinylidene fluoride, copolymers hexafluoroisobutylene and vinylidene fluoride, copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluorvinylether sulfonyl.

- the organic liquid can therefore consist of an organic product which is normally liquid or gaseous under normal conditions of pressure and temperature. In the case where an organic product is used which is gaseous at the working temperature used to manufacture the porous sheet, it is obviously advisable to work under pressure, in an autoclave.
- halogenated hydrocarbons are advantageously used, according to the invention, for example chlorinated or fluorinated hydrocarbons.

- the threshing intensities required to obtain these Schopper-Riegler number values depend on various factors, including the nature of the fibrous polymeric material and the organic liquid, as well as the concentration and temperature of the suspension subjected to threshing. They can be easily determined, in each particular case, by routine work.

- the annealing is advantageously carried out at at least 200 ° C. for at least 1 hour, preferably at least 10 hours.
