在一个实施方式中,所述流道孔3为圆孔或腰形孔;和/或,
所述流道孔3横截面积为1mm2~100000mm2
以上给出流道孔3的形状、尺寸,本领域技术人员可以根据具体电解槽的流道要求进行具体选择。例如在碱性水电解槽中,在密封垫片的下方设置数个用于碱液输入流道孔,在上方设置数个用于氢气输出的流道孔和数个用于氧气输出的流道孔,所设置的数量与阴极室和阳极室相应的极板框上设置的流道孔数量一致,所设置的形状、尺寸与阴极室和阳极室相应的极板框上设置的流道孔相匹配。
关于以上电解槽用密封垫片的制备方法,可以根据现有的方案进行。如,可以先用氟塑料(如PTFE材料)制作垫片主体,氟塑料(如PTFE材料)制作的垫片主体采用改性氟塑料材料,配方除氟塑料粉料之外,可以根据需要选用改性剂如SiO2、无机纤维(例如碳纤维、钙镁硅酸盐、玻璃纤维)、二硫化钼、硫酸钡中的一种或两种以上,经过例如混料、模压、烧结等工艺来制备;氟塑料的垫片主体制作完成后做喷砂或清洗处理,处理完成后喷涂胶黏剂;最后将喷涂了胶黏剂的氟塑料垫片主体放入模具中与遇 水膨胀橡胶用硫化设备共硫化,以制备电解槽用密封垫片。
另外,本领域技术人员知晓使用上述的电解槽用密封垫片与其他配件一起组装成电解槽,特别适用于压滤式电解槽。电解槽还包含阴极室和阳极室,在所述阴极室和阳极室之间设置所述的电解槽用密封垫片。例如在碱性水电解槽中,由电极板、隔膜、密封垫和夹紧装置(包含端压板)以及其他附件组成,其中电极板的两面分别构成阴极室的阴极面和阳极室的阳极面,电极板的外周具有极框,密封垫片压设于两个极板的极框上,从而实现两个极板之间的绝缘。
本申请提供一种电解槽用密封垫片,由氟塑料制成的垫片主体和遇水膨胀橡胶制成的外圈形成。电解槽用密封垫片利用氟塑料耐高温、耐热氧老化、耐强碱等特性隔绝遇水膨胀橡胶材料与电解槽内部碱液和氧气,提高垫片使用寿命;并且利用遇水膨胀橡胶材料回弹性高、应力补偿性好、蠕变低等优异特性补偿PTFE回弹缺陷,同时,遇水膨胀橡胶具备以水止水功能,与少量电解液接触即能够迅速体积膨胀,膨胀后可填补密封界面缝隙,提高接触应力,进一步提高密封效果,降低密封失效风险。
本文中所称的“一个实施例”、“实施例”或者“一个或者多个实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或者特性包括在本申请的至少一个实施例中。此外,请注意,这里“在一个实施例中”的词语例子不一定全指同一个实施例。
在此处所提供的说明书中,说明了大量具体细节。然而,能够理解,本申请的实施例可以在没有这些具体细节的情况下被实践。在一些实例中,并未详细示出公知的方法、结构和技术,以便不模糊对本说明书的理解。
在权利要求中,不应将位于括号之间的任何参考符号构造成对权利要求的限制。单词“包含”不排除存在未列在权利要求中的元件或步骤。位于元件之前的单词“一”或“一个”不排除存在多个这样的元件。单词第一、第二、以及第三等的使用不表示任何顺序。可将这些单词解释为名称。
最后应说明的是:以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或 者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
