Definitions

  • This invention relates to dimensionally stable anodes used in mercury cell electrolysis processes and to methods of electrolysis using dimensionally stable anodes.
  • Dimensionally stable anodes are metal anodes which do not change in dimension during an electrolysis process, as distinguished from graphite anodes which gradually wear away during electrolysis, due to the corrosive conditions in an electrolysis cell, thereby causing enlargement of the electrolysis gap and reducing the efficiency of the electrolysis process.
  • Dimensionally stable anodes are usually made from a valve metal, such as titanium or tantalum, which is resistant to electrolysis cell conditions, and the working faces of the titanium or tantalum anodes are coated with an electrically conducting electrocatalytic coating of a platinum group metal, or an oxide of a platinum group metal or a mixture of oxides of a platinum group metal with oxides of titanium, tantalum or other metals.
  • a valve metal such as titanium or tantalum
  • Electrolysis cells equipped with dimensionally stable anodes are operated at considerably higher current densities than similar cells equipped with graphite anodes and hence operate at higher temperatures. While graphite anodes in mercury cells offer some obstruction to the flow of brine from the inlet to the outlet of the cells due to the thickness of the graphite anodes, dimensionally stable anodes offer less obstruction to said brine flow especially in cells of a high slope and hence encounter greater temperature differentials. Baflles have been used on graphite anodes in flowing mercury cathode electrolysis cells as shown, for example, in Swiss Pat. No. 235,756, issued Apr. 16, 1945, in Japanese Pat. No. 436,023, issued Dec. 26, 1964 and in Italian Pat. No. 790,278, issued Nov.
  • baffles were, however, used for a different purpose than the baflies described herein, for use with relatively thin dimensionally stable metal anodes in mercury cathode electrolysis cells operated at higher current densities than permisible with graphite anodes.
  • One of the objects of this invention is to provide battles for use with dimensionally stable anodes in horizontal mercury cells which will retard the flow of brine from the inlet to the outlet end of such cells and hence provide for more uniform heat distribution in the brine from end to end of the cell, and greater heat dissipation.
  • Another object is to provide dimensionally stable anodes in horizontal mercury cells which will direct the flow of brine into and through the electrolysis gap between the active or working face of the anodes and the flowing mercury cathode surface.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide baffles in a substantially horizontal mercury cell equipped with dimensionally stable anodes which will speed up the flow of the electrolyte through the anode gap and upwardly through the anode structure to promote rapid renewal of the electrolyte in the anode gap and more uniform electrolyte temperature.
  • Another object of this invention is to give an upward component of flow to the electrolyte flowing through the open mesh or opening in the working face of a dimensionally stable metal anode so as to give greater sweep to the electrolyte flowing through the opening of the anode.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide baflies for use with dimensionally stable anodes which can be installed on such anodes in existing mercury cells Without having to remove the anodes from the cells.
  • Another object is to provide bafiles for use with dimensionally stable anodes which will. increase the efiiciency of the electrolysis process.
  • Another object is to provide battles for use with dimensionally stable anodes in horizontal mercury cells with overflow openings which will control the level of the electrolyte dammed up behind each baffle and promote steady operation of the cell.
  • Another object is to provide baflles to accomplish the above-stated objects which can also be used to prevent the cell cover in cells equipped with flexible cell covers, from dipping into the electrolyte and interferring with gas release from the anode space.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical form of dimensionally stable metal anode with a bafiie installed thereon;
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view along the line 22 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 2a is a view similar to FIG. 2, showing a modification
  • FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of one form of anode working face
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another form of anode having a coated titanium rod working face with a bafiie installed on the anode;
  • FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of a rod form of anode working face
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the baflle illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4;
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view along the line 7-7 of FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective side view of one side of the battle of FIG. 6;

  • FIG. 12 is a modified sectional view of a typical horizontal mercury cell substantially along the line 12-12 of FIG. 10.

  • the working faces 1 or 2 are of an approximate thickness of 1 to 3 mm. and the voids or open spaces between the mesh or rods of the working faces constitute from 40 to 60%, preferably 50 to 53%, of the surface area of the working faces 1 or 2.
  • the term mes used to describe the working faces of the anodes is intended to include thin sheets of titanium or tantalum or of alloys of titanium or tantalum in foraminous or expanded form, wire mesh and gauze, rolled wire mesh, punched and slotted sheet titanium or tantalum, spaced rods or half-round forms, etc., and the words titanium and tantalum are intended to include alloys of these metals with other metals.
  • the working faces 1 or 2 are connected by welding, riveting or other connections, to a plurality of secondary current conducting cross bars 3 extending transversely of the electrolytic cell and the bars 3 are connected to primary current conducting bars 4 running longitudinally of the cell, which, in turn, are connected to the copper lead-ins 5 by which the current is conducted into the cell.
  • the copper lead-ins 5 are connected to the conductor bars 4 by internally screw threaded titanium bosses 6, welded or otherwise secured to the primary conductor bars 4.
  • Eight secondary conductor cross bars 3 and two primary conductor bars 4 have been shown, but the number of primary and secondary conductor bars is not critical, and will vary depending on the size and design of the cell, nor is their direction within the cell critical.
  • the number of primary and secondary conductor bars may be increased or decreased, but they should be proportioned in size according to the conductive capacity of the metal to convey the required amount of current to the anode face and distribute it uniformly over the anode working face.
  • the primary conductor bars 4 may sit on top of the secondary conductor bars 3 and be welded thereto or they may be notched into the bars 3 and welded thereto.
  • the secondary and primary conductor bars are preferably arranged at right angles to each other for better current distribution, but a slight deviation from a 90 connection is permissible.

  • Titanium sleeves 7 surround the copper lead-ins 5 inside the cell and extend from the bosses 6 to the flexible cell cover 8 (FIGS. 11 and 12) to protect the lead-ins from the corrosive effect of the electrolyte and the cell gases.
  • Other protective insulation such as rubber, neoprene or other plastics which are resistant to electrolytic cell conditions, may be used in place of sleeves 7 to protect the lead-ins 5.
  • the sleeves 7 are sealed to the bosses 6 and to the flexible cover 8 to prevent the entrance of gas or liquid into the interior of the sleeves 7.
  • the sleeves 7 may be welded to the bosses 6, or may be separate from the bosses 6, as illustrated at 7a in the exploded left portion of FIG. 1.
  • the use of separate sleeves 7 permits the anode portions 1, 2, 3 and 4. to be assembled Or Welded together as a flat unit which occupies little space in shipping and allows the sleeves 7 to be shipped separately and assembled on the bosses 6 at the place of use.
  • the sleeves 7 or 7a have been omitted from the right side of FIGS. 1 and 4 for better illustration of the assembly.
  • the sleeves 7a When the sleeves 7a are separate from the bosses 6, they are sealed to the bosses and to the flexible cell cover 8 with a fluid tight seal.
  • the sleeves 7 or 7a may fit around the bosses 6 as illustrated in FIG. 2 and instead of screwing the copper lead-ins 5 into threaded titanium bosses 6, the lead-ins 5 may be screwed into holes 6a in the conductor bars 4 as illustrated in FIG. 2a and the sleeves 7 welded directly on the conductor bars 4.
  • liquid and gas-proof titanium sleeves 7 or 7a surround and protect the copper lead-ins 5 from the corrosive conditions inside the cell.

  • the cell trough 10a slopes from end to end, so that the mercury flows by gravity along the cell bottom and the electrolyte is usually introduced into the upper end of the cell and discharged at the lower end, so that it flows concurrently with the mercury while the cell gases released at the anodes, rise through the meshes of the anodes and through the electrolyte above the working faces of the anodes to a gas release space at the top of the cell from which the gas flows through an outlet 8a in the cell cover to the gas recovery system.
  • the electrolyte is a saturated solution of sodium chloride.
  • Cells of this type are, however, used for the production of other electrolysis products and the reference to chlorine and sodium chloride brine herein is only for purposes of illustration.
  • the slope of these cells may be from 025 to 15 or more.
  • FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 A typically mercury cell in which the baffles of the present invention may be used is illustrated in outline in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12, in which many parts not necessary to the understanding of this invention have been omitted or illustrated only diagrammatically.

  • the tops of each side and each end of the trough 10a has a flange 12 and the walls of the trough are protected from chemical attack by an insulating lining 13.
  • the anodes A illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4, are suspended in the trough 10a by means of the copper lead-ins 5, which are connected to the positive bus bars 14 by means of nuts 15 screw threaded on the copper lead-ins 5.

  • the average electrolyte level is indicated by the line d.
  • the lines b, c and d are only illustrative of the relative electrolyte levels which may in fact be higher or lower than indicated.
  • the damming of the electrolyte by the battles 25 increases the speed of flow through the electrolyte gaps, by the higher pressure of the higher electrolyte level upstream of each dam 25, and increases the upward flow of the electrolyte through the working faces of the anodes, to sweep the gas bubbles from the working faces of the anodes.
  • the bafiles prevents the electrolyte from by-passing the electrolyte gap in cells equipped with dimensionally stable anodes and provide rapid renewal of the electrolyte in the gap. As these cells are operated at considerably higher current density than the cells equipped with graphite anodes, rapid flow through the electrolyte gap and rapid renewal of the electrolyte in the gap provides higher efliciency in these cells.
  • the bafiles may be mounted at substantially right angles (90) to the working face of the anodes or may be mounted at an angle of approximately 30 to 90 to the working face as illustrated in FIG. 2a.
  • the baffles act somewhat as a sluice or funnel to increase the rate of flow of the electrolyte through the interelectrodic gap.
  • the amount of electrolyte held on the upstream side of each bafile increases the overall volume of electrolyte in the cell, while the free escape of gas bubbles from beneath the working faces of the anodes, through the perforation therein keeps the electrolyte above the working faces in a high state of agitation and circulation within the cell to thereby keep the temperature of the electrolyte lower and to prevent differences in the temperature and composition of the electrolyte in various parts of the cell.
  • the electrolyte is usually cooled before introduction into the cell and is heated Within the cell by the electrolysis reaction taking place.
  • bafiies with dimensionally stable anodes in mercury cells provides more uniform concentration and temperature of all the brine in each compartment created by the baffles including the interelectrodic gap and the surface of the cathode in the areas immediately adjacent to the baffle is swept by brine so that a lower production of mercury butter and a better current distribution is obtained.

  • the bafiles may also be welded to the ends of the conductor bars 4 or otherwise made integral with the anodes.
  • the lower edge of the baflles 25 end slightly above the electrolyte gap between the working faces of the anodes and the flowing mercury cathode, to promote the flow of electrolyte into and through the gap, and to give greater speed to the electrolyte flowing through the gap by virtue of the dammed pools of electrolyte upstream of each dam.
