Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode Dimensionally Stable Anode

Electrochemical process requires anodes. Mainly Platinized Titanium or Platinised Niobium Anodes. Platinised titanium anodes combine the excellent electro chemical characteristics of platinum with the good corrosion qualities of titanium.

Platinised titanium is titanium that has been plated / coated with a very thin layer of platinum, normally by electro deposition process. The purpose of it is to provide a conducting medium that will not react with electrolytes. Platinum is very inert and doesn't readily react electrochemically, so you can do some very good electrochemistry with it. Titanium is used because of its high conductivity and ease in plating under electro deposition process. Furthermore, if the platinum is porous and the titanium is exposed, the titanium will passivate and soon stop interfering with any electrochemistry going on at the electrode.

Titanium - activated by a platinum or a mixed metal oxide (MMO) layer with semiconducting properties - forms an insoluble anode. Both types of anodes are widely used for very different electrochemical applications (electro winning, electro synthesis, electro analysis, electroplating (mainly Automobile parts plating anode, Copper foil plating anode, Hard chrome plating anode, Rotogravure cylinder plating anode, Chromium plating anode, Wire plating anodes, Copper plating anodes, Gold plating anodes, Nickel plating anodes) cathodic corrosion  protection (ICCP) (Mainly seawater and limited space area), disinfection (mainly Electro Seawater Chlorination, Ionization) Gray Water Treatment, Sewage Treatment and waste water treatment, Effluent Treatment and others). The property of titanium to passivate when anodically polarized is the reason for its use as anode base. The activation must be corrosion-resistant against the electrolyte and must remain active.

Specifications of Platinised Titanium Anode (PTA)

Platinum plated titanium anodes have been successfully used in hard-chrome plating. As long as suitable electrolytes are used, a completely lead-free process is usually possible without excessive costs by simply replacing lead anodes with Pt/Ti anodes. Plating anodes using high-temperature electrolysis offers two additional ecological benefits: Considerably longer life span based on better durability. Sparing use of platinum (which is made resistant to corrosion through high-temperature electrolysis). Re-platinization of the base substrate means that any existing platinum can be refurbished and reused, saving costs.

Another benefit of the Platinised anode is that they require no touching up due to the dimensional stability and the high-temperature electrolysis that allows up to 99.99% purity in platinum coatings, as well as excellent adhesion and ductility.

An investment of three to five times the annual costs for standard lead anodes in the first year, and a company can expect to break even within around three years of installation.

The majority of electroplating processes today, utilize platinized titanium perforated anodes. These anodes serve two purposes, first of all to act as the supply source for the metallic ions needed for plating, and second to assist in distributing the current being drawn by the plating bath. Platinized titanium perforated anodes allow the escape of gas bubbles forming on active surface. The platinised titanium perforated anode surface serves as a base for the electrocatalytic activation layer.

Titanium-based Platinum Plated Anode is the best choice for plating noble metal. Platinum titanium anode is an insoluble anode, platinum plating and titanium substrate with a solid, stable performance, can replace pure gold, pure platinum anode, for gold and other precious metals plating tank.

Technical characteristics: high current efficiency; excellent corrosion resistance; long electrode life; electrode shape can be designed according to user needs; electrode substrate can be reused several times; no pollution to the medium (electrolysis); can withstand higher Current density.

Major benefit of the Platinum plated Titanium Anode is that they require no touching up due to the dimensional stability of Pt/Ti anodes and the high-temperature electrolysis that allows up to 99.99% purity in platinum coatings, as well as excellent adhesion and ductility.

Common applications of the Platinised Titanium Anodes:-

• Electro dialysis.

• Electroforming.

• DSA Cathodic Protection.

• Electrochemical Sensing.

• Electro winning and refining of metals.

• Electrolytic Regeneration of chromic acid.

• Electroplating for precious and base metals.

• Electrolytic recovery for precious and base metals.

• Electrolytic Production of Sodium Hypochlorite.

• Electro synthesis of Inorganic & Organic chemicals

Electroplating anodes are used to create products in many industries, including the hydraulic industry. 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.

Platinum is one of the six metals in the "Platinum" group of precious metals, all of which are excellent catalyst materials. Platinum is conductive, chemically stable and highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It has a silvery-gray color and can be polished to a variety of finishes.

Platinized titanium anodes should be replaced when they start showing signs of flaking or chipping away of the platinum coating or a discoloration appears. Care should also be taken to replace soluble anodes when they become too small.

Major Applications:-

Hard chrome plating (piston rings, printing cylinders, etc.)

Configuration of Anode and Cathode:-

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.
