Definitions
- the invention relates to a membrane electrolysis device for generating hydrogen, chlorine and alkali hydroxide from an alkali chloride solution, with a semipermeable membrane with cation exchange properties between each anode and cathode, the membrane electrolysis device having parts from a diaphragm electrolysis device.
- the invention has for its object to significantly reduce the manufacturing costs for a membrane electrolysis device in that parts of a diaphragm electrolysis device, which can also be used, are also used. According to the invention, this is done in that the anodes of the membrane electrolysis device have a frame in which 1 to 3 anodes from a diaphragm electrolysis device are fastened, each anode having electrochemically active anode surfaces with a lattice structure and a current conductor arranged between the anode surfaces and the current conductor with the frame connected is.
- the anodes attached to the frame may have been used in diaphragm electrolysis, or were originally made for this purpose and kept in stock.
- the anodes of the diaphragm electrolysis have anode surfaces with a lattice structure, for example using expanded metal. Expensive metals such as titanium are used in their manufacture. When electrolysis devices on the modern and much more powerful Membrane process, it is essential for the costs to be able to continue to use existing anodes of the diaphragm electrolysis. This can reduce the manufacturing cost of the membrane electrolysis device by 20 to 30%.
- the anode of FIGS. 1 and 2 intended for membrane electrolysis has a frame (1) made of titanium, for example, in which two anodes (2) and (3) are fastened, which were intended for diaphragm electrolysis or already in one such were used.
- the anodes (2) and (3) have electrochemically active anode surfaces (2a, 2b) and (3a, 3b) with a lattice structure.
- the front anode surface (3b) is omitted in FIG. 1 in order to better show the interior of the anode (3).
- a current conductor (5) which is usually made of copper, runs between the anode surfaces of each anode.
- the lower end of the current conductor (5) is passed through the frame so that its free end (5a) can be connected to a current-carrying plate (7).
- the alkali chloride brine to be electrolyzed is passed through a tube (10) which is passed through the frame into the respective cell, and anolyte and chlorine are drawn off through line (11).
- a metal tube (12) can be inserted between the anode surfaces. It ensures that the liquid can flow downward unhindered, while gas bubbles flow upwards outside the tube (12) and in particular in front of the anode surfaces. This creates a desired circulation of the electrolyte, which prevents depletion of the electrolyte in NaCl in the vicinity of the membrane.
- a modified diaphragm anode (15) is shown somewhat enlarged in cross section, which can also be installed in the frame (11).
- Their anode surfaces (15a) and (15b) are not in contact with the current conductor (16), they receive the current through current distribution plates (17, 18, 19) which are connected to the current conductor (16).
- the current distribution plate (19) which together with the current conductor (16) has a closed cross section, forms a hollow body or channel (20) that is axially parallel to the current conductor (16).
- This channel (20) like the metal tube (12) of FIG. 1, favors the downward flow of the electrolyte between the anode surfaces (15a) and (15b) and thus the electrolyte circulation with the advantages mentioned.
- the described anodes for membrane electrolysis together with suitably designed cathodes in the sequence of anode - membrane - cathode - membrane - anode - etc. form an electrolysis device of the filter press type.
- the cathode can be of any shape and above all plate-shaped.
- An example of a cathode is shown in FIG. 4.
- Horizontal plates (22) are fastened in a frame (21), between which there are gaps (23) for gas discharge.
- a side tongue (25) is used for the power connection, alkali chloride brine is fed through line (26) and catholyte and hydrogen are drawn off through line (27). Details of the cathode known per se are described in US Pat. No. 4,474,612.
- FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of an electrochemically inactive network (29) in front of the anodes (2) and (3) in a representation corresponding to FIG. 2.
- the network can e.g. are made of titanium and are non-activating coated.
- An activation coating e.g. with rhutenium oxide, but is found on anodes (2) and (3).
- the net is attached to the frame (1), it supports the membrane and bridges gaps, corners and pointed edges on the top of the anodes (2, 3).
- a net (29) can be arranged on both outer sides of the anode.
