Abstract

The gasket is disposed between the electrode frames, which are pressed against each other and are used in a membrane electrolysis for producing sodium solution, hydrogen and chlorine from an NaCl brine. The rim of the membrane is disposed between two parts of the gasket. At least one gasket part consists of a core frame, which is provided at least on one side with an attached sealing frame made of graphite. The core frame and the sealing frame are enclosed in a plastic film wrapper. The core frame may be made of asbestos and the plastic film wrapper may be made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dichtung für die aufeinandergepreßten Elektrodenrahmen einer Membranelektrolyse zur Erzeugung von Natronlauge, Wasserstoff und Chlor aus einer NaCl-Sole, wobei die Membran mit ihrem Rand zwischen der zweiteiligen Dichtung liegt.The invention relates to a seal for the pressed-together electrode frame of a membrane electrolysis for the production of sodium hydroxide solution, hydrogen and chlorine from a NaCl brine, the edge of the membrane lying between the two-part seal.

Die für diese Elektrolyse verwendete Membran hat im allgemeinen Ionenaustauscheigenschaften, so daß neben dem durch die Membran wandernden Natrium auch Wasser hindurchtreten kann. Die Wassertransporteigenschaft der Membran hat zur Folge, daß bei der Abdichtung der Membranelektrolysevorrichtung Probleme auftreten können. Es muß insbesondere dafür gesorgt werden, daß kein Wasser durch die Schmalseite der Membran nach außen tritt. Um dies zu unterbinden, muß die Membran im Dichtungsbereich zusammengepreßt werden. Verwendet man auf beiden Seiten der Membran Gummidichtungen, so dehnen sich die Dichtungen unter dem Anpreßdruck parallel zur Membranfläche aus und führen durch diese Bewegung zu Beschädigungen oder Zerstörungen der Membran.The membrane used for this electrolysis generally has ion exchange properties, so that water can also pass through in addition to the sodium migrating through the membrane. The consequence of the water transport property of the membrane is that problems can occur when sealing the membrane electrolysis device. In particular, care must be taken to ensure that no water escapes through the narrow side of the membrane. In order to prevent this, the membrane in the sealing area must be pressed together. If rubber seals are used on both sides of the membrane, the seals expand under the contact pressure parallel to the membrane surface and lead to damage or destruction of the membrane by this movement.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Dichtung zu finden, die senkrecht auf die Membran wirkende, ausreichend hohe Kräfte übertragen kann, ohne daß dabei aber eine solche Formänderung der Dichtung auftritt, welche große, parallel zur Membran wirkende Kräfte überträgt. Die Dichtung muß gleichzeitig auch gegen die in den Elektrolyseuren vorhandene Flüssigkeit beständig sein, da es sich hierbei um eine ungesättigte Kochsalzlösung handelt, die neben Chlorat und chloriger Säure bei einem pH-Wert von etwa 4,5 gelöstes und gasförmiges Chlor enthält. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß mindestens ein Dichtungsteil aus einem Kernrahmen und mindestens einseitig auf den Kernrahmen aufgesetztem Dichtungsrahmen aus Graphit besteht und der Kernrahmen und der Dichtungsrahmen mit einer Folienhülle umgeben sind.The invention has for its object to find a seal that can transmit perpendicularly acting on the membrane, sufficiently high forces, but without such a change in shape of the seal occurs, which transmits large forces acting parallel to the membrane. At the same time, the seal must also be resistant to the liquid present in the electrolysers, since this is an unsaturated saline solution which, in addition to chlorate and chlorous acid, contains dissolved and gaseous chlorine at a pH of about 4.5 contains. According to the invention the object is achieved in that at least one sealing part consists of a core frame and at least one side of the core frame of graphite sealing frame and the core frame and the sealing frame are surrounded with a film envelope.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Dichtung dient der Kernrahmen, der z.B. aus Asbest besteht, vor allem der besseren Handhabbarkeit des Dichtungsteils, da der Dichtungsrahmen aus Graphit üblicherweise dünn und schmal ausgebildet ist. Die Folienhülle sorgt für die Korrosionsbeständigkeit des Dichtungsteils, sie kann z.B. aus Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE) hergestellt sein.The core frame, which e.g. consists of asbestos, especially the better manageability of the sealing part, since the sealing frame made of graphite is usually thin and narrow. The foil cover ensures the corrosion resistance of the sealing part, e.g. be made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Zum Abdichten werden Preßdrücke im Bereich von 700 bis 2000 N/cm² und vorzugsweise 900 bis 1500 N/cm² angewandt. Bei diesen nicht allzu hohen Preßdrücken genügt es zumeist, nur ein Dichtungsteil der zweiteiligen, beiderseits der Membran befindlichen Dichtung in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise auszubilden und für das andere Dichtungsteil eine Gummidichtung zu verwenden. Der Dichtungsrahmen aus Graphit kann nämlich ziemlich schmal ausgebildet werden, so daß der Dichtungsbereich der Gummidichtung ebenfalls schmal ist und nicht nennenswert parallel zur Membranfläche verformt wird.Pressing pressures in the range from 700 to 2000 N / cm² and preferably 900 to 1500 N / cm² are used for sealing. At these not too high pressing pressures, it is usually sufficient to form only one sealing part of the two-part seal located on both sides of the membrane in the manner according to the invention and to use a rubber seal for the other sealing part. The sealing frame made of graphite can be made rather narrow, so that the sealing area of the rubber seal is also narrow and is not significantly deformed parallel to the membrane surface.

Einzelheiten der Dichtung werden mit Hilfe der Zeichnung erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt einen senkrechten Schnitt durch den Dichtungsbereich eines Membranelektrolyseurs, wobei die Teile auseinandergezogen dargestellt sind.Details of the seal are explained with the help of the drawing. The drawing shows a vertical section through the sealing area of a membrane electrolyzer, the parts being shown pulled apart.

Der Rahmen der Anode A und auch der Kathode K besteht aus einem Vierkantrohr, doch ist z.B. auch ein Rundrohr möglich. Zwischen der Membran (1) und dem Kathodenrahmen befindet sich eine Gummidichtung (2). Der Dichtungsteil (3) zwischen der Membran (1) und dem Anodenrohr besteht aus einem flachen Kernrahmen (4) aus Asbest, den beiden aufgesetzten Dichtungsrahmen (5,6) aus Graphit und der Folienhülle (7) aus PTFE. Auf den der Anode A zugewandten Dichtungsrahmen (5) kann in manchen Fällen auch verzichtet werden. Die Hülle (7) sorgt dafür, daß das an den Anodenplatten (10) gebildete Chlor den Dichtungsteil (3) nicht zerstört. Der an der Kathodenplatte (11) gebildete Wasserstoff und auch die dort entstehende Natronlauge sind viel weniger aggressiv, so daß in diesem Bereich mit der Gummidichtung (2) gearbeitet werden kann. Die Gummidichtung (2) kann aber auch durch eine dem Dichtungsteil (3) entsprechende Dichtung ersetzt werden.The frame of the anode A and also the cathode K consists of a square tube, but a round tube is also possible, for example. A rubber seal (2) is located between the membrane (1) and the cathode frame. The Sealing part (3) between the membrane (1) and the anode tube consists of a flat core frame (4) made of asbestos, the two attached sealing frames (5,6) made of graphite and the foil cover (7) made of PTFE. In some cases, the sealing frame (5) facing the anode A can also be dispensed with. The sleeve (7) ensures that the chlorine formed on the anode plates (10) does not destroy the sealing part (3). The hydrogen formed on the cathode plate (11) and the sodium hydroxide solution formed there are much less aggressive, so that the rubber seal (2) can be used in this area. The rubber seal (2) can also be replaced by a seal corresponding to the sealing part (3).

In der Zeichnung sind die Teile auseinandergezogen dargestellt; sie werden im Betrieb in Richtung der Pfeile (8) und (9) zusammengepreßt. Die Graphitdichtungsrahmen (5,6) sorgen dafür, daß auf die Membran (1) im Dichtungsbereich keine nennenswerten Kräfte senkrecht zum Anpreßdruck wirken, welche zu Beschädigungen der Membran führen könnten. Durch die Gummidichtung (2) einerseits und das Dichtungsteil (3) andererseits wird die Membran (1) im Dichtungsbereich so abgequetscht, daß keine Flüssigkeit durch die Membran nach außen treten kann. Für die Dichtungsrahmen (5,6) aus Graphit kann man vorzugsweise speziellen Graphit verwenden, der nur in Richtung der Pfeile (8) und (9) eine gewisse Elastizität, jedoch nicht senkrecht dazu besitzt.In the drawing, the parts are shown pulled apart; they are pressed together in the direction of arrows (8) and (9). The graphite sealing frames (5, 6) ensure that no appreciable forces act perpendicular to the contact pressure on the membrane (1) in the sealing area, which could damage the membrane. The rubber seal (2) on the one hand and the sealing part (3) on the other hand squeeze the membrane (1) in the sealing area so that no liquid can pass through the membrane to the outside. For the sealing frames (5, 6) made of graphite, special graphite can preferably be used, which has a certain elasticity only in the direction of the arrows (8) and (9), but not perpendicular to it.

Für den Kernrahmen (4) aus Asbest kann man z.B. eine Stärke von etwa 2 mm wählen, die Stärke der Graphitdichtungsrahmen (5,6) liegt zumeist im Bereich von 0,5 bis 2 mm. Die PTFE-Hülle (7) ist vorzugsweise 0,3 mm stark.For the core frame (4) made of asbestos you can e.g. choose a thickness of about 2 mm, the thickness of the graphite sealing frame (5,6) is usually in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm. The PTFE sleeve (7) is preferably 0.3 mm thick.
