Definitions
- the invention relates to a corrosion-protecting wall cladding of side walls in apparatus for receiving chlorine-containing process gases, in particular in electrolysis cells.
- the cladding is detachable and is particularly suitable for use on new and used side walls of electrolysis cells that work according to the amalgam process.
- the non-removable cover made of rubber is in other cases with an additionally glued plate made of z.
- B. provided ethylene-propylene terpolymer (compare e.g.
- the rubber coating must first be removed. This is usually done by strongly cooling the rubber coating, which makes the rubber coating brittle, and by subsequent mechanical removal, for. B. chiseling the adhering rubber residues.
- Cladding the side walls with a combination of rubber and an additional polymer layer as described above is complex to manufacture and also expensive. If the rubber coating is damaged, moist chlorine will reach the surface of the side cheeks, which is usually made of steel, causing severe corrosion of the steel part. Proper repair welding of the bonded polymer cladding is practically impossible.
- the invention has for its object to provide cladding for used or new side walls, for example of electrolysis equipment, which do not have the disadvantages of the prior art described above and which should be easy to solve, especially for repair purposes.
- the cladding is made of welded or edged plates made of special plastics, which are attached to the base of the apparatus together with a steel part that provides stability.
- the invention relates to a corrosion-protecting side wall for apparatus for receiving chlorine-containing process gases, in particular for electrolysis cells, which is characterized in that a cladding made of optionally welded or edged plates made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytertrafluoroethylene-co- on a metal support structure made of steel or stainless steel in particular hexafluoropropylene (FEP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC or PVC-HT) or perfluoroalkoxy polymer (PFA) and if necessary fixed for assembly with a releasable adhesive that can be connected to the bottom of the apparatus or other side parts using releasable fasteners.
- PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
- FEP hexafluoropropylene
- PVC or PVC-HT polyvinyl chloride
- PFA perfluoroalkoxy polymer
- the individual plastic sheets for the production of the cladding can be folded and connected to the support structure under optimal conditions before assembly, e.g. by welding.
- the entire surface of the metal support structure can also be protected against corrosion e.g. a coating with DD lacquers or with epoxy resins.
- the cladding If the cladding is damaged, it can be repaired under simple conditions after it has been removed from the side cheek.
- the structurally influenceable gap between the cladding and the support structure also allows the cladding to be checked for leaks.
- thermal insulation for example based on closed-pore polymer foams, in particular polyurethane foam, is additionally provided between the support structure and the cladding.
- plastic materials to be used according to the invention have a high coefficient of thermal expansion, tests have shown that the plastics mentioned are well suited for cladding the side walls of electrolysis cells.
- the proposed detachable side parts are used in particular in electrolysis cells for the production of chlorine by the amalgam process.
- Sensors can be installed in the space between the cladding and the side wall support structure, which perform a leakage test, e.g. for leaking chlorine or saline.
- Fig. 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 1 shows a side wall 4 of an electrolysis cell in which chlorine is produced by the amalgam process.
- a loose cladding 1 made of PVDF panels lies on a steel support structure 3.
- the cladding 1 was produced from individual PVDF segments by welding prior to assembly on the side wall.
- An insulating layer 2 made of polyurethane foam is additionally provided between the support structure 3 and the cladding 1.
- the holes 5 are used to mount the side wall 4 on the electrolytic cell base 6 by means of screws 10 (see also FIG. 2).
- Chlorine-resistant seals 7 or 8 seal the gap between cell cover 9 and side wall 4 or between cell bottom 6 and side wall 4 in order to prevent the escape of chlorine-containing gas 11 or salt solution 12.
