Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the production of fine and ultrafine zinc powders by electrolysis in basic medium.
- the zinc powders currently sold are obtained thermally, by melting and vaporization under vacuum of zinc ingots. They provide a fairly wide range of production, from coarse zinc powder to fine and ultra-fine zinc dust.
- the powders obtained by alkaline electrolysis must be ground to approach the particle size standards of the powders obtained by thermal process.
- the size of the grains obtained essentially depends on the speed ratio of these two processes. If the nucleation rate is higher than the growth rate of the crystal, the deposit will be fine and vice versa. The crystals will grow quickly and will therefore be coarse, if the metal-ions arriving at the solid-liquid interface are numerous. On the other hand, the nucleation centers will be abundant and the crystals will grow slowly and will therefore be fine, if the metal ions arriving at the solid-liquid interface are rare.
- electrolysis involves relationships between the current, the electrolyte and the electrodes.
- the study of the cathode has always been seen from the angle of corrosion and it focused on the search for a material resistant to corrosion.
- the mechanical resistance and the appearance of this film is variable according to the metal constituting the cathode and according to the appearance of the surface of this cathode.
- this process for the production of fine and ultrafine zinc powders by electrolysis in basic medium is characterized in that a cathode coated with a film of varnish or silicone obtained from an aerosol.
- the bath can be agitated, during electrolysis, by irradiating it by means of ultrasound preferably having an emission frequency of 40 kHz.
- the initial concentration of zinc in the bath is preferably limited to around 30 g / l.
- the process according to the invention makes it possible to obtain, by alkaline electrolysis, fine and ultra fine powders and this directly, without requiring additional grinding.
- the varnish or silicon used must have chemical resistance to attack by caustic solutions.
- varnish or silicone must be as regular as possible, which supposes an appropriate solvent dosage. Indeed, a too viscous varnish, during its projection, forms granules which solidify without spreading and recreate by the same, by attenuating, a heterogeneity of surface. Likewise, a varnishing with a brush leads to poor results. It therefore appears essential that the solvent is sufficiently dosed to allow spreading by gravity flow of the varnish or of silicone. This condition being fulfilled, the surface can be considered very regular.
- cathodes thus treated must be free of dust and traces of fatty substance, or of any other element, preventing a close link between metal and varnish.
- the process according to the invention can possibly be improved by playing on the control of other parameters, namely the zinc electrolysis concentration and the agitation of the bath.
- the solid lines of FIG. 2 show the influence of the initial zinc concentration Ci (between 10 and 45 g / 1), indicated on the ordinate, on the d 50 and the d 90 of the powder obtained, in the absence of any agitation of the bath, the particle size D in microns of the powder being plotted on the ordinate.
- the electrolysis is controlled by the diffusion of the metal ions in the NERNST layer and the nucleation rate is higher than the growth rate of the crystals, and conversely in the strongly decreasing part.
- the methods usually used reside in the pressure injection of the electrolyte in well chosen places or in a mechanical agitation.
- the varnishing of the electrode according to the invention obviously introduces a faradyc loss of efficiency by adding an additional ohmic resistance to the cell. This loss is in fact very low (1 to 2%) of the order of the total uncertainty on the measurements, and it is obvious that the efficiency brought to the particle size control is without common measure with this reduction in yield.
- the very regular character of deposit no warts or buttons creating short circuits that the varnishing induced, makes it possible to reduce the anode-cathode distance and to largely compensate for this resistance resistance.
- the faradyque yield decreases to reach 30% at 0.5 g / 1 as indicated by the curve in Figure 3.
