Ruthenium Iridium Coated Titanium Anode
Ru Ir titanium anodes is dimensionally stable anode (DSA), our ruthenium iridium coated titanium anode are insoluble titanium based anode with a ruthenium iridium oxide coating. Owing to their light weight, good temperature resistance and high mechanical strength, ruthenium-iridium coated electrodes are highly regarded as the most economic and practical choice for use in electrolyte containing a high content of chloride ions generally in the environment of hydrochloric acid and brine/seawater electrolysis.
Ruthenium Iridium Coated Titanium Anode can be fabricated in forms such as perforated plate, sheet, mesh, rod, wire or basket.
MMore than Twenty years of MMO-coated titanium anode manufacturing experience.Our titanium anode with high selectivity, stable operational performance, remarkable energy efficiency and minimum plant downtime. These Ru-Ir titanium electrodes are widely used in chlor-alkali production, water treatment, water disinfection, primary metal refining, electroplating and many other electrochemical processes in which chlorine evolution represents the key anodic reaction.
What is the production process of ruthenium-iridium coated titanium anode?
The production process of ruthenium-iridium coated titanium anode typically includes the following steps:
-
- Pretreatment of titanium substrate: The titanium substrate is subjected to cleaning and degreasing to remove impurities and contaminants from the surface.
- Surface roughening: The surface of the titanium substrate is roughened through mechanical or chemical methods to increase the surface area and improve the adhesion of the coating.
- Preparation of coating solution: A solution containing ruthenium and iridium salts is prepared, along with other necessary additives.
- Coating application: The coating solution is applied to the titanium substrate by methods such as brushing, spraying, or electroplating.
- Thermal treatment: The coated substrate is heated to a specific temperature for a certain period to promote the formation of the desired oxide coating and improve its adhesion and electrochemical performance.
- Multiple coating cycles: To achieve the desired coating thickness and quality, the coating and thermal treatment steps may be repeated several times.
- Final inspection and quality control: The finished anode is inspected for coating uniformity, thickness, and electrochemical properties to ensure it meets the specified standards.
It should be noted that the specific production process may vary among different manufacturers, and they may have their own proprietary techniques and optimizations to produce high-quality ruthenium-iridium coated titanium anodes.
