The thus obtained electrode is suitable for use as an anode in electrolysis cells for chlorine production. | 09-01-2011 |
20120061237 | CATHODE FOR ELECTROLYTIC PROCESSES - The invention relates to a cathode for electrolytic processes with evolution of hydrogen comprising a metal substrate with a noble metal-based activation layer and two protective layers, one interposed between the activation layer and the substrate and one external, containing an electroless-depositable alloy of a metal comprising one of nickel, cobalt and iron with a non-metal selected from phosphorus and boron, with the optional addition of a transition element selected between tungsten and rhenium. | 03-15-2012 |
20120312683 | Electrode for Electrochemical Processes and Method for Obtaining the Same - An electrode suitable for use as hydrogen-evolving cathode in electrolytic processes is obtained by thermal decomposition of a precursor consisting of an acetic solution of nitrates of ruthenium, and optionally of rare earths. The electrode displays a low cathodic hydrogen evolution overpotential, an improved tolerance to current reversal phenomena and a high duration in industrial operating conditions. | 12-13-2012 |
20130087450 | ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROCHLORINATION - The invention relates to an electrode for electrochemical generation of hypochlorite. The electrode comprises a valve metal substrate coated with a catalytic system consisting of two super-imposed layers of distinct composition and having a different activity towards hypochlorite anodic generation from chloride solutions. The electrode has a high duration in cathodic operation conditions, imparting self-cleaning characteristics thereto when used in combination with an equivalent one with periodic polarity reversal. Moreover, the deactivation of the electrode at the end of its life cycle occurs in two subsequent steps, allowing to schedule the substitution thereof with a significant notice period. | 04-11-2013 |
20130306489 | ELECTRODE FOR OXYGEN EVOLUTION IN INDUSTRIAL ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES - The invention relates to a coating for anodes suitable for oxygen evolution in electrochemical processes, comprising one or more catalytic layers and an external layer. Such external layer having a composition based on tantalum oxides or tin oxides or zirconium oxides in an amount of 2 to 7 g/m | 11-21-2013 |
20140008215 | ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROLYTIC PROCESSES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - The invention relates to an electrode for electrolytic processes, particularly to a cathode suitable for hydrogen evolution in an industrial electrolysis process comprising a metal substrate coated with an external catalytic layer containing crystalline ruthenium oxide having a highly ordered rutile-type structure with Ru Ru and Ru O bond length characterised by a Debye-Waller factor lower than a critical value. The catalytic outer layer may contain rare earth oxides, such as praseodymium. The electrode may also comprise an internal catalytic thin layer platinum-based, which gives an enhanced protection against accidental current reversal events. | 01-09-2014 |
20140231267 | ANODIC STRUCTURE FOR HORIZONTAL CELLS FOR PROCESSES OF METAL ELECTRODEPOSITION - The present invention concerns an electrode for oxygen evolution in electroplating plants comprising a valve metal substrate and an outer catalytic layer, the substrate consisting of a metal plate provided with slits of area ranging from 2 to 8 cm | 08-21-2014 |
20140311915 | ANODE FOR OXYGEN EVOLUTION - An electrode for electrochemical processes comprises a substrate of titanium or other valve metal, an intermediate protection layer based on valve metal oxides and a catalytic layer based on oxides of tin and of iridium doped with small amounts of oxides of elements selected between bismuth, antimony, tantalum and niobium. The electrode used in electrometallurgical processes, for example in the electrowinning of metals, as anode for anodic oxygen evolution presents a reduced overvoltage and a higher duration. | 10-23-2014 |
