No. 522,437 Claims priority, application Sweden, Feb. 4, 1965, 1,447 65. Int. Cl. B01k 3/00 US. Cl. 204225 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an electrolytic cell the electrode is suspended in a vertical rod extending through an opening in the lid of the cell. An elastic seal ring is provided to be in contact with the rod and the lid so as to close the space between the rod and the lid. The rod is suspended in suspension means which support on the elastic seal ring. The resilience of the seal ring makes it possible to adjust the position of the rod and, consequently, of the electrode.
The invention relates to an electrolytic cell, and more particularly to fastening means for an electrode in a socalled horizontal electrolytic cell, which means a cell in which the active surfaces of the electrodes are horizontally situated. Particularly the invention relates to cells for the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution, in which the upper electrode, the anode, consists of a graphite plate, and the lower electrode, the cathode, consists of mercury flowing on the bottom of the cell. The following specification is concerned with such a mercury cell, but the invention is useful also for other horizontal cells.
In a horizontal cell containing flowing mercury it is important that the anode is situated exactly horizontally, i.e. parallel with the surface of the mercury, and exactly on the desired distance from the surface of the mercury. This can be achieved by supporting the anode on the bottom of the cell by means of insulating spacers. Such spacers, however, disturb the flow of the mercury and also collect impurities, involving a risk for a short circuit between anode and cathode. Therefore, it is preferred to suspend the anode in the cell. It is the object of the invention to provide such suspension means having a simple structure, enabling an uncomplicated adjustment of the anode into the exact horizontal position, and enabling an uncomplicated raising and lowering of the anode under operation to the desired distance from the mercury surface. This is essential for obtaining a low electric power. It is particularly desired to adjust the distance between the electrodes when using graphite anodes, as the graphite is gradually consumed. A medium size plant for the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution contains approximately 15,000 anode plates under operation, and it is therefore easily understood that said factors have a large economic importance.
The electrolytic cell of the invention comprises a lower electrode having a substantially horizontal upper surface, an upper electrode having a substantially horizontal lower surface, an electrode vessel having a lid above said upper electrode, a suspension rod extending through an opening in said lid and having its lower end fastened to said upper electrode, an elastic seal ring to close the space between said lid and said suspension rod, suspension means engaging said suspension rod and resiliently supporting on said elastic seal ring, set screws for adjusting the position of said suspension means, against the resilience of said elastic seal ring, and means in said suspension means for vertically moving said suspension rod.
3,455,810 Patented July 15, 1969 In a preferred embodiment the suspension means comprise a base resiliently supporting on said elastic seal ring, and above said base a support for a vertical screw-threaded rod the lower end of which carries said suspension rod, said support carrying a rotatable nut for raising and lowering said screw-threaded rod.
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a vertical cross-section of a device of the invention. FIG. 2 illustrates the device of FIG. 1 in a perspective view. FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the plate of the suspension means, having three screws.
The electrolytic cell illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 contains an electrode vessel having a bottom 18, a lid 13, and side walls which are not illustrated. The electrode vessel contains a known graphite anode 1. Alternatively, the anode may consist of titanium or another suitable material. The width of the anode is illustrated in the figure, and the length of the anode is usually three or four times the width. The upper portion of the anode has an opening in which a cylindrical graphite rod 2 is fastened by means of screw threads. The rod 2 will be referred to hereinbelow as suspension rod, as it carries the anode 1. The suspension rod extends vertically through an opening in the lid 13.
A layer of ebonite, for instance, covers the lower side of the lid 13, and extends around the edge of the opening to form an annular member 14 which prevents an electric contact between the suspension rod and the lid. The wall 3 of the suspension rod is exactly perpendicular to the bottom surface 4 of the anode. A bolt 5 is screwed into an opening in the upper portion of the suspension rod. A copper plate 7 is fastened between the head 6 of the bolt and the suspension rod 2, to supply electric power to the anode. The copper plate also prevents the suspension rod from rotating around its axis.
It is desired that the head 6 of the bolt 5 shall be comparatively large, so as to press the copper plate 7 hard against the entire upper surface of the suspension rod 2, for reducing the electric resistance. The electric resistance is further reduced by the fact that part of the current flows from the copper plate 7 through the portions 6 and 5 of the bolt and into the suspension rod 2.
A screw-threaded rod 8 is fastened by welding to be co-axial with the bolt 5. Said rod 8 supports a not 9 having a circumferential groove 10 engaging the edge of an opening in a supporting arm 11. The ends of the supporting arm 11 are fastened to a substantially horizontal plate 12. Said plate 12 supports on an O-ring 15 being situated in a recessed portion of the insulating ring 14. The O- ring 15 constitutes seal means between the lid 13 and the rod 2, and the plate 12 constitutes a gland for said O- ring.
Two bolts 16, see FIG. 2, are fastened to the lid 13 and extend through openings in the plate 12. Nuts 17 engage the bolts to press the plate 12 downward against the resilience of the O-ring 15. Consequently, the O-ring 15 has the double action of sealing the space between the lid 13 and the suspension rod 2 and allowing the plate 12 to be adjusted, by means of the nuts 17, into the desired position.
In operation, mercury flows in a thin layer on the bottom 18 of the cell, and is connected as cathode to a direct current source. The graphite electrode 1 is the anode. A sodium chloride solution is fed to flow in the space between the anode and the cathode. Chlorine is formed on the anode surface, and the sodium formed on the cathode surface reacts with the mercury surface.
The anode surface 4 is adjusted to be parallel with the mercury surface in the following way. A level is placed on the cylindrical wall 3 of the suspension rod 2, and the nuts 17 are adjusted to make the rod 2 absolutely vertical, resulting in the lower anode surface 4 being absolutely horizontal. The anode is now lowered by the nut 9 being rotated, until the anode comes into contact with the mercury on the bottom of the cell. This is checked in a known way by measuring the current or the voltage of the cell. Now the nut 9 is rotated until the anode has been lifted into the desired position.
In the illustrated embodiment both screws 16 with their nuts 17 are situated in the longitudinal direction of the anode, since the adjustment is most important in this direction. An adjustment in the transverse direction of the anode can be made if the plate is made with three adjusting nuts, for instance as illustrated in FIG. 3. A rotation of the nut 17:: effects the longitudinal adjustment, and a rotation of one of the nuts 17b results in an adjustment in the transverse direction.
