Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cathode which can be used for the preparation of an alkali metal chlorate by electrolysis of the corresponding chloride, and to the process for its production.
- cathodes While the activation of cathodes for the electrolytic synthesis of sodium chlorate has been the subject of numerous studies, on the other hand very few studies have been devoted to obtaining specific cathodes. However, it is known that in the electrolytic preparation of sodium chlorate, in addition to the reactions leading to the final product, there are many side reactions. Thus at the cathode, in addition to the reduction of water to hydrogen, there takes place a reduction reaction of the hypochlorite ion.
- sodium chlorate is manufactured in electrolytic cells, each of which comprises several mild steel cathodes and several titanium anodes coated with ruthenium oxide. They are generally supplied with an electrolytic solution consisting of approximately 1 00 g / l of sodium chloride, approximately 600 g / l of sodium chlorate and sodium dichromate in an amount between 2 and 5 g / l.
- a cathode whose substrate is a plate of titanium, zirconium, niobium or an alloy essentially constituted by a combination of these metals and to which is applied a layer of metal oxide, essentially constituted by an oxide of a or several metals chosen from ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum and optionally an oxide from one or more metals chosen from calcium, magnesium, strontium, barium, zinc , the 2 chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, selenium and tellurium, was disclosed in French patent FR 2 31 1 1 08.

- the intermediate layer contains a mixed oxide of titanium and ruthenium.
- the outer layer of metal oxides contains titanium, zirconium and ruthenium.
- the outer layer consists essentially of ZrTi ⁇ 4 accompanied by Ru ⁇ 2 and possibly Zr ⁇ 2 and / or Ti ⁇ 2-

- Another object of the invention is the process for preparing the specific cathode, comprising the following steps: a) pretreatment of a substrate to impart surface roughness characteristics, b) coating of the pretreated substrate using a solution A essentially containing titanium and ruthenium, followed by drying, then calcination of the substrate thus coated, C) coating of the substrate obtained in (b) using a solution B comprising titanium, zirconium and ruthenium, followed by drying, and calcination of the substrate.
- the pretreatment generally consists in subjecting the substrate, either to a sandblasting followed by an acid washing, or to a pickling using an aqueous solution of oxalic acid, hydrofluoric acid, a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid, mixture of hydrofluoric acid and glycerol, mixture of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and glycerol or mixture of hydrofluoric acid, d 'nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide, followed by one or more washing (s) with degassed demineralized water.
- the substrate may be in the form of a solid plate, perforated plate, expanded metal or cathode basket made from the expanded or perforated metal.
- Solution A is generally prepared by reacting at room temperature and with stirring, essentially a mineral or organic salt of titanium and ruthenium with water or in an organic solvent, optionally in the presence of a chelating agent. The temperature can be brought slightly above the ambient to facilitate the dissolution of the salts.
- a mineral or organic salt of titanium and ruthenium is reacted with water or in an organic solvent, optionally in the presence of a chelating agent.
- Titanium and ruthenium are preferably present in solution A in a concentration equivalent to each of 0.5 to 10 mole / l.
- Solution B is generally prepared by reacting, at room temperature and with stirring, an inorganic or organic salt of titanium, zirconium, ruthenium and optionally other metals with water or in an organic solvent, optionally in presence of a chelating agent. When the reaction is exothermic, an ice bath is used to cool the reaction medium.
- a mineral or organic salt of titanium, zirconium and ruthenium is reacted with water or in an organic solvent, optionally in the presence of a chelating agent.
