Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode Dimensionally Stable Anode

Tiaano manufacturing different sizes and Shapes of platinised Titanium Electrodes (Positive Electrode and Negative Electrode) for water ionizers. The essential components of the ionization chamber are its two collecting electrodes, (the anodes and cathodes) the anode is positively charged with respect to the cathode.

The ionizer uses grade 1 titanium electrodes to be plated (Anodes and cathodes are plated) with a good electrical conductor with longevity built to last 10 years that will also not dissolve during electrolysis. Stainless steel was used for Water Ionizer electrodes in the late 1980's and was found not be a suitable material because they did not last more than a few years. The industry began using titanium platinum-coated Anode in the early 1990's because of its design life.

Tiaano manufacturing different sizes and Shapes of platinum or platinized Electrodes for water Deionisation. Water Deionizer Electrodes [Anodes or Cathodes] are available with hanging hook, frame or band in the form of sheet, expanded mesh, pipe, rod and custom built.  Deionized water is also called demineralized water. The majority of water impurities are dissolved salts, deionization results in high purity water that is generally similar to distilled water.

Ions are electrically charged atoms or molecules found in water that have either a net negative or positive charge. For many applications that use water as a rinse or ingredient, these ions are considered impurities and must be removed from the water.

Water Deionization Process:-

Among all common water filtration methods, the process used for removal of all dissolved salts from water is referred to as deionization. Deionization requires the flow of water through two ion exchange materials in order to affect the removal of all salt content.

The terms demineralization and deionization are used somewhat interchangeably by the industry. While the term demineralization is generally better understood, deionization is especially suit.

Tiaano manufacturing different sizes and Shapes of platinized Titanium Electrodes (Anodes and cathods for water ionisers. The key factor for a quality water ionizer is the material of the electrodes, (anode and cathode) the anode is positively charged with respect to the cathode

Key Benefits of Platinised Titanium Anodes and Platinized Cathodes in Ionization:-

1)        Favorable dimensional stability

2)        Corrosion resistance ensures durability with easy maintainability

3)        Light weight, as well as favorable current distribution

4)        High resistance to corrosion

5)        Resistance to oxidation

6)        High electrical conductivity

7)        No contamination in water

Titanium is non-soluble and stable in water. It will last for many years [20, 30 or more] without corroding. Its durability, strength, and non-toxicity make it the choice of material to doctors and medical scientists use for their implanted medical devices such as artificial joints and pacemakers. Also, because it’s so durable and non-magnetic it makes it the best choice of metal to construct a water ionizer electrode.

Platinum is a catalyst, and is needed to speed up the electrolysis. With the water ionizers changing the water so drastically just by passing the water over the electrodes, the ionization process wouldn’t occur without a speeder-upper.

Tiaano suggest the platinised Titanium anodes and Platinized Titanium Cathode for water alkaline process because of its advantages like no contamination in water, complex shapes is possible, Long lifetime, Easy maintenance, High dimensional stability and loading capacity, Good corrosion resistance, Low weight, Perfect current and distribution. Anodes and cathodes material will be similar. It will be consume proper equal voltage in all cells.

The Platinised Titanium electrodes (Anodes and cathodes) create the ionisation, the electrode cell is the heart of an ioniser. It consists of a series of electrodes (plates), each separated by a membrane. The Platinized Titanium Mesh Electrodes is mostly used, because it has outstanding practical performance, such as strong ability of ionization release, good exchange of electrolyte, close structure and light weight, etc.

The best water to drink is alkalized or ionized water, which is produced by running normal tap water over a positive (platinum or platinized anode) and a negative (platinum or platinised cathode) electrode. This creates positive and negative ions in the water that are then separated creating two different waters, one that is alkaline and one that is acidic.

Specifications of Ionization Electrodes (Platinum Plated Anodes & Platinum Plated Cathodes):-

Platinum coated (Platinized) Titanium Anodes are highly conductive anodes used in electroplating, fuel cells, and other electrolysis applications. Platinum plated Titanium Anodes are generally immediately available in most volumes and can be fabricated in forms such as sheet, mesh, perforated plate, rod, or wire with hanging hook for electricity distribution. We (Tiaano) can also produce materials to custom specifications by request, in addition to custom compositions for commercial and research applications and new proprietary technologies.

Configuration of Anode and Cathode in Electro plating bath:-

The negative (-) cable is connected to the item to be plated, the cathode.  The Positive (+) lead is connected to the solution electrode, the anode. In this configuration the piece being plated should be rotated occasionally since the deposition rate may be greater on the areas that are facing the anode and less on the side opposite the anode.

Platinum is the most effective metal for any electro chemical or electrolysis process due to its current conducting property. Platinum being the most expensive material rational utilization of Platinum for the greater benefit ensures economical solution. Platinum plated Anodes is none but a rational utilization of platinum by plating limited quantity on to titanium to achieve the same result as using platinum metal.

Platinized Titanium anodes can be operated at very high current densities. 75Amps per dm² are typical. Platinum is preferred on an anode's outer surface because it is highly resistant to corrosion and can ensure current flow in most electrolyte media without leading to the formation of an insulating layer on itself. Because it doesn’t corrode, it doesn’t produce corrosion products and hence the consumption rate is very low.

Advantages of Platinized Titanium Anodes:-

Platinum plated anode has the advantages of electrochemical inertness, mechanical strength, workability and favorable electrical conductivity. However, it is prohibitively expensive. Development of platinum on titanium, platinum on Niobium and platinum on tantalum (plated) materials has opened up the feasibility of using these for anode materials for Electro Plating, metal finishing and Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems in critical applications.

Tiaano Design, manufacturing and supplying different sizes and different shapes of platinised anode for water ionizers or Alkaline Water Production (Water Ionization).

Water ioniser Platinum plated Titanium electrodes are one of the most important components, it falls into many basic forms like sheet, rod, tube and mesh or some specialized design according to the chamber design. Water Ionization chamber contains positively and negatively charged platinum-covered titanium electrodes. These electrodes ionize the soluble minerals in the water: positively charged ions gather at the negative electrode to create alkaline water, also referred to as "reduced water" while negatively charged ions gather at the positive electrode to make acid water, also known as oxidized water.

The best water to drink is alkalized or ionized water, which is produced by running normal tap water over a positive (platinum or platinized anode) and a negative (platinum or platinised cathode) electrode. This creates positive and negative ions in the water that are then separated creating two different waters, one that is alkaline and one that is acidic.

Alkaline water is for flushing out internal toxins, scavenging free radicals, and oxygenating the body. Acid water, which is really a by-product of ionizing water, can be used externally for cleansing the skin, cleaning any surface and feeding your plants.

Electroplating anodes are used to create products in many industries, including the hydraulic industry or Chemical Process industry. This electrochemical process requires anodes or Electrodes. Especially platinized Titanium or Platinised Niobium anodes. The most common uses for electroplated products are chrome-plated oil pump auger flights, hydraulic cylinders, conveyor flights, sheets and tanks where it would be impractical or too expensive to make the item entirely out of the plating metal.

The electroplating anodes manufactured by Tiaano, in the form of Sheet, Expanded Mesh, Tube, Rod, Wire, Multi slot, Multi Hole, perforated, Slotted etc…. They are made to the customer’s drawings and specifications. Replating / Recoating / Replatinization also possible on Titanium Anode (Substrate) or Niobium Anode (Substrate).

Electro Plating Anode Configuration:-

The two are then connected to an electrical current source, by connecting the positive end to the plating anode and the negative to the item being to be plated. Once current flows through the system positively charged metal ions become attracted to the negatively charged item, thereby coating the item with the desired finish.

What is Electroplating?

Electroplating is used to coat certain metals with a thin layer of a pure metal, like silver or gold, copper, zinc or any of several alloys. During the process, an electric current passes through a solution known as an electrolyte. The composition of the electrolyte depends on the desired coating. The item being electroplated (cathode) is immersed into the electrolyte solution, as is the plating anode.

Platinized titanium anodes are very frequently used as expanded mesh anodes due to their excellent practice characteristics of high throwing power, good electrolyte exchange, compact construction, low weight etc.
