Description

Die Erfindung betrifft korrosionsbeständige Apparatedeckel, insbesondere Zellendeckel für Elektrolysezellen, mit einer verbesserten Wandauskleidung. Die vorgeschlagene, einfacher lösbare Auskleidung eignet sich besonders für den Einsatz an neuen oder gebrauchten Deckeln von Elektrolysezellen, die nach dem Amalgamverfahren arbeiten.The invention relates to corrosion-resistant apparatus covers, in particular cell covers for electrolytic cells, with an improved wall lining. The proposed Liner that is easier to remove is particularly suitable for use new or used lids of electrolytic cells made using the amalgam process work.

Für das Verkleiden von Elektrolysezellendeckeln aus Metall, die für den Einsatz im Amalgamverfahren geeignet sind, sind wenigstens drei verschiedene Verfahren bekannt:For the cladding of electrolytic cell covers made of metal, which are used in Amalgam processes are suitable, at least three different processes are known:

Das Aufbringen einer nicht lösbaren Verkleidung von Gummi auf einen konventionellen Stahldeckel oder die innere Verkleidung des Deckels mit nicht lösbaren Blechen aus Titan.The application of a non-removable covering of rubber on one conventional steel lid or the inner lining of the lid with non-removable Titanium sheets.

Aus EP-A 655 520 ist bereits ein Deckel für eine Elektrolysezelle bekannt, der mit einer Auskleidung aus Titan versehen ist.A cover for an electrolysis cell is already known from EP-A 655 520, which is lined with titanium.

Desweiteren werden auch Kunststoffolien zur Abdeckung der Zellen verwendet (sogenannte "Membrandeckel").Furthermore, plastic films are also used to cover the cells (so-called "Membrane cover").

Der Nachteil von gummierten Deckeln ist, daß sich an gummierten Deckeln durch Reaktion mit Chlor dioxin- und fliranhaltige Reaktionsprodukte bilden können. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht in der aufwendigen Instandsetzung solcher Deckel. Soll ein gummierter Deckel neu beschichtet werden, so muß zunächst die Gummierung z.B. durch Kälte zum Sprödbruch gebracht werden und die am Deckel anhaftenden Gummireste müssen anschließend durch Abmeißeln entfernt werden.The disadvantage of rubberized lids is that rubberized lids get through Can form reaction with chlorine dioxin and fliran reaction products. On Another disadvantage is the costly repair of such covers. Should a rubberized cover must be re-coated, first the rubber coating e.g. brought to brittle fracture by cold and those adhering to the lid Rubber residues must then be removed by chiseling off.

Zellendeckel mit Titanauskleidung weisen folgende Nachteile auf. Die Verkleidung von Stahldeckeln mit Hilfe von Titanblechen ist vergleichsweise aufwendig und teuer wegen der vielen Schweißnähte an den Anodendurchführungen im Zellendeckel. Bei einer geringfügigen Beschädigung der Titanauskleidung gelangt feuchtes Chlor an den Zellenstahldeckel, wonach eine starke Korrosion des Stahlteiles einsetzt. Eine fachgerechte Reparaturschweißung an der Titanauskleidung ist wegen mangelhafter Gasbeschleierung des Spaltes zwischen Titanauskleidung und korrodiertem Stahldeckel praktisch nicht möglich.Cell covers with titanium lining have the following disadvantages. The costume of steel lids with the help of titanium sheets is comparatively complex and expensive because of the many welds on the anode feedthroughs in the cell cover. At If the titanium lining is slightly damaged, moist chlorine will reach the Cellular steel cover, after which strong corrosion of the steel part begins. A professional one Repair welding on the titanium lining is due to poor gas fogging the gap between the titanium lining and the corroded steel cover practically not possible.

Der Austausch eines Stahldeckels gegen einen "Membrandeckel" aus Kunststoff ist sehr kostspielig und praktisch schwer durchführbar, da u.a. die Konstruktion für die Stromzuführung geändert werden müßte. Überdies erweisen sich Membrandeckel als nachteilig, da sie die Möglichkeit begrenzen die Anoden vertikal zu verstellen.The exchange of a steel cover for a "membrane cover" is made of plastic very expensive and practically difficult to carry out, because the construction for the Power supply would have to be changed. In addition, membrane covers prove to be disadvantageous because they limit the possibility of vertically adjusting the anodes.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Apparatedeckel mit korrosionsbeständiger Auskleidung zu schaffen, der die Nachteile der bekannten Konstruktionen nicht aufweist, wobei der Deckel mit einer leichter lösbaren Auskleidung aus Kunststoff oder Metall zu versehen ist. Insbesondere gilt es dabei Stromdurchführungen, beispielsweise bei der Verwendung als Elektrolysezellendeckel, zu berücksichtigen.The invention has for its object a device cover with corrosion-resistant Liner to create the disadvantages of the known constructions does not have, the lid with a more easily removable lining made of plastic or metal. In particular, current feedthroughs for example, when using it as an electrolytic cell cover.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf vorbereiteten d.h. zugeschnittenen, gebohrten oder angefasten Platten aus Kunststoff die Durchführungen für die Anoden angebracht werden, z.B. durch Schweißen. Nach dem Auflegen auf die Stahldeckel wird ein Herausrutschen der Anodenhülsen aus den Bohrungen durch geeignete Haltevorrichtungen verhindert, z.B. durch Haltebleche oder Verschraubungen.The object is achieved in that on prepared i.e. tailored, drilled or chamfered plastic plates the implementations for the Anodes are attached, e.g. by welding. After placing it on the steel cover the anode sleeves slip out of the holes by suitable Holding devices prevented, e.g. by holding plates or screw connections.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Apparatedeckel mit korrosionsbeständiger Auskleidung und wenigstens einer elektrischen Stromdurchführung, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Auskleidung aus Kunststoff besteht und an der Stromdurchführung mit einer über die Deckelwand hinausragenden Hülse fest und gasdicht verbunden ist, daß die Hülse mit einem lösbaren Befestigungsmittel an der Deckelwand fixiert ist, und daß der Raum zwischen der Stromdurchführung und der Hülse mit Hilfe eines lösbaren Dichtmittels abgedichtet ist, wobei die Stromdurchführung gegenüber der Hülse und dem Deckel elektrisch isoliert ist.The invention relates to an apparatus cover with a corrosion-resistant lining and at least one electrical feedthrough, characterized in that that the lining is made of plastic and on the current lead-through with a cover wall protruding sleeve is firmly and gastight connected that the sleeve with a releasable fastener is fixed to the lid wall, and that the space between the current feedthrough and the sleeve using a releasable sealant is sealed, the feedthrough opposite the sleeve and the cover is electrically insulated.

Bevorzugt ist im Apparatedeckel ein zusätzliches die Hülse umlaufendes Dichtmittel vorgesehen, das ein Ausdringen korrosiver Gase verhindert. An additional sealant running around the sleeve is preferred in the apparatus cover provided that prevents the escape of corrosive gases.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Variante ist das Dichtmittel an der Stromdurchführung so weit heruntergezogen, daß es die Stromdurchführung auch im Innenbereich der Hülse umschließt und elektrisch isoliert.In a further preferred variant, the sealant is on the feedthrough pulled down so far that it also leads through the interior of the Encloses sleeve and electrically insulated.

Bevorzugt ist zwischen der Auskleidung und der Deckelwand eine zusätzliche Isolierschicht aus einem geschlossenporigen Polymerschaum, insbesondere aus Polyurethanschaum, z.B. in Plattenform, vorgesehen.An additional is preferred between the lining and the top wall Insulating layer made of a closed-pore polymer foam, in particular of polyurethane foam, e.g. in plate form.

Die Auskleidung des Apparatedeckels besteht aus Kunstoff, insbesondere Polyvinylidenfluorid (PVDF), Polytetrafluorethylen-co-hexafluorpropylen (FEP), Perfluoralkoxypolymeren (PFA) oder (PVC, PVC-HT).The lining of the apparatus cover consists of plastic, in particular polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene (FEP), perfluoroalkoxy polymers (PFA) or (PVC, PVC-HT).

Die Zellendeckel können wie beschrieben mit Kunststoffen, z.B. PVDF, FEP, PFA, PVC, verkleidet werden. Die großflächigen Platten der Auskleidung und die Hülsen für die Anodendurchführungen können unter optimalen Bedingungen miteinander verbunden werden, z.B. durch Schweißen. Die Oberfläche des Zellendeckels aus Metall kann mit einem zusätzlichen Überzug als Korrosionsschutz versehen werden. Als Material für einen Überzug kommen insbesondere DD-Lacke oder Epoxidharze in Frage.The cell covers can be as described with plastics, e.g. PVDF, FEP, PFA, PVC. The large area Lining plates and sleeves for anode feedthroughs can be placed under optimal conditions, e.g. by welding. The Surface of the metal cell cover can be covered with an additional coating Corrosion protection. In particular come as a material for a coating DD lacquers or epoxy resins in question.

Bei Beschädigung der Auskleidung ist nach ihrer Entfernung vom Zellendeckel eine Reparatur der Auskleidung unter vereinfachten Bedingungen möglich, da die Auskleidung vom Zellendeckel leicht lösbar ist. Der konstruktiv beeinflußbare Spalt zwischen Auskleidung und Deckel erlaubt zudem eine Überprüfung der Auskleidung auf Dichtigkeit.If the lining is damaged, there is an after removal from the cell cover Repair of the lining possible under simplified conditions, since the Lining from the cell cover is easily detachable. The gap that can be influenced by the design between the lining and the lid also allows the lining to be checked for tightness.

Die Deckel können zusätzlich allseitig mit einem geeigneten Anstrich als Korrosionsschutz versehen werden. The lids can also be coated on all sides with a suitable coating as corrosion protection be provided.

Versuche mit losen Kunststoffverkleidungen zeigten, daß auch sie trotz des hohen Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten des Kunststoffes gut für Auskleidungen von Deckeln geeignet sind.Experiments with loose plastic cladding showed that despite the high Thermal expansion coefficient of the plastic good for linings of Lids are suitable.

Die vorgeschlagenen lösbaren Verbindungen sind insbesondere zur Verkleidung von metallischen Deckeln von Elektrolysezellen zur Herstellung von Chlor nach dem Amalgamverfahren geeignet.The proposed detachable connections are particularly for cladding Metallic covers of electrolytic cells for the production of chlorine after Amalgam process suitable.
