Definitions
- Titanium anodes consist of a lattice-shaped or reticular titanium anode surface, which is arranged opposite and parallel to the mercury cathode and immersed in the electrolyte, which overlays the mercury cathode. Titanium anodes also consist of cross conductors of larger cross-section welded firmly to the titanium anode surface, which in turn are welded with a bridge of even larger cross-section made of titanium.
- the current is usually supplied via copper bolts which are arranged perpendicular to the titanium structure and conductively connected to the bridge.
- a problem is the attachment of the copper bolts to the bridge of the titanium structure.
- the connection between the titanium structure and the copper bolt is intended to be a good mechanical connection on the one hand, since the titanium structure is held by copper bolts and an adjustment that has been carried out over longer periods of time is to be guaranteed and on the other hand a good one to represent electrical contact.
- the titanium structure should be detachable from the copper bolt without great effort and without damaging the contact surfaces, so that the titanium structure can be easily handled when the active layer of the titanium anode surface is replaced at regular intervals.
- DE-A-2 031 525 e.g. B. proposed to produce the electrical contact between the copper bolt and the bridge of the titanium structure via a low-melting metal alloy that is liquid under operating conditions of the electrolytic cell.
- the mechanical connection is also ensured by screwing.
- the difficulties encountered with this proposal lie in the fact that such low-melting alloys generally do not wet titanium at the expense of good electrical contact and, moreover, the removal of the copper bolt is made more difficult.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an anode for alkali metal chloride electrolysis which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
- the present invention relates to an anode for the alkali metal chloride electrolysis according to the amalgam process, consisting of a lattice-shaped or reticular planar titanium anode surface, optionally current distribution rails, a bridge serving as a primary conductor rail and at least one copper bolt as a power supply, which is characterized in that the copper bolt has a thread in its lower region and is conical below the thread, the bridge has a threaded nut and a conical bore for receiving the conical region of the copper bolt, and the copper bolt and bridge are screwed together in a positive and non-positive manner.
- the conical surfaces on the copper bolt and / or the bridge can be protected against corrosion by surface metallization.
- surface metallization nickel or platinum layers are suitable.
- the cone ratio of the cone is expediently between 1: 5 and 1:15, a cone ratio of about 1:10 is preferred.
- the present invention furthermore relates to a process for the production of chlorine by electrolysis of alkali metal chloride using the anode according to the invention.
