Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode Dimensionally Stable Anode

Tiaano manufacturing different sizes and Shapes of platinized Anodes 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 size.  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.

A water ionizer works on the simple principle of electrolysis. Water ioniser has two electrodes (Anodes and cathodes) put into a container having two chambers separated by a semi-permeable membrane. The two electrodes - positive and negative, are put into two separate chambers and the current is passed through them. Ionization process takes place on passing of the current through the electrodes. The dissolved minerals get attracted either to the positive or negative electrode, therefore one of the chambers will have acidic water while the other will have alkaline water. The alkaline water is for drinking purpose, whereas the acidic water is for disinfecting or sterilizing purposes.

The key factor for a quality water ionizer is the material of the electrodes. Most good ionizers on the market use electrodes made of platinum plated titanium Grade 1. Titanium will not dissolve in ionized water as the cheaper metals like steel. The ionizer uses grade 1 titanium electrodes to be plated with a good electrical conductor with longevity built to last 10 years that will also not dissolve during electrolysis.

In organic and inorganic chemical industry platinum is widely used as the anode and Cathode in a number of electrochemical processes. 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 extremely low.

Platinum is the most active metal for any electro chemical or electrolysis process due to its current conducting property. Platinum being the most costly material logical utilization of Platinum for the greater value ensures economical solution. Platinized 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 or Platinized Titanium electrodes can be operated at very high current densities. 75Amps per dm² are typical. All of the current flows from the platinum plated / coated portion of the anode surface.

For quantitative electro-chemical analysis in laboratories, Platinum Electrodes of various types are used. Generally, Electrodes are made of platinum and Iridium alloy for added mechanical strength which ensure long period of trouble free service. Electrode are usually made of expanded mesh having opening size 7 mm x 13 mm. This provides bigger surface than area equal weight of plain or perforated platinum sheet and allows the electrolyte to circulate much more easily. For most electro-chemical analysis, expanded mesh cathode is most satisfactory while a small size of similar anode is used if an anode deposit is required.

Tiaano offer finest quality range of Platinized Anodes and Platinized Cathodes (Platinised Electrodes) for Water Ionization Electrolyzer or Alkaline Water or Alkaline Ionized water application. 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 (Anodes and Cathodes), the ionization process wouldn’t occur without a speeder-upper.

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.

Anode Side (positive Side) Platinum Coated Titanium Anode:-

Positively charged ions gather at the negative electrode to create reduced water, which concentrates available alkaline minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium from the source water. This alkaline ionized water is drawn for drinking and cooking, through the main stainless steel spout.

Cathode Side (negative Side) Platinum Coated Titanium Cathode:-

Negatively charged ions gather at the positive electrode to make oxidized water, which concentrates acid minerals such as nitrates, sulfides, chlorides, and fluorides from the source water. This acid ionized water has a myriad of external uses. It is discharged into the sink.

Electrochemical technology is playing a significant role in modern society and especially in the chemical industry. Also electrochemical technology is now clearly identified as a clean technology for the manufacture of chemicals. It also finds application in processes for recycling chemicals and materials, treating effluents, destroying toxic materials, soil remediation and other diverse technologies. All this technology depends on stable electrode materials. Only platinum group metal materials fulfil this requirement. Titanium anode (Platinum Plated or MMO Coated) is mainly used in industrial production such as chlor alkali, sodium hypochlorite, hypochlorous Acid (HOCL), electrolytic synthesis of organic compounds, electrolysis of dilute brine, sodium chloride electrolysis, disinfection of tap water, elimination of plankton in industrial circulating water, etc. Platinum plated electrodes introduced a new approach to the chemicals manufacture to increased expectations of the performance of electrodes.

What is the role of Platinum Anodes in Electrolytic Production of Chemical?

It is necessary to use an inert electrode, such as platinum, because there is no metal present to conduct the electrons from the anode (Positive Electrodes) to the cathode (Negative Electrodes). Oxidation occurs at the anode (Platinum Plated Anode) and reduction at the cathode (Titanium Cathode). In chemistry and manufacturing, electrolysis is a technique that uses direct electric current (DC) to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. Electrolysis is commercially significant as a stage in the separation of elements from naturally occurring sources such as ores using an electrolytic cell or Electrolyzer.

Advantages for Titanium Anode with Platinum Coating:-

1.         Titanium gives corrosion resistance in most electrolytes.

2.         Titanium itself will act as a conductor of current without passing current into the electrolyte.

2. The platinized area of the anode will operate at current densities of up to 100 amperes per square ft. of surface area.

3. The electrical resistance of titanium is high and where solid rods or plates are used it is essential to design with adequate cross sections of titanium and with the shortest current paths to the platinum surface, thus avoiding high volt drops.

4. Platinum Anodes provides the most economic installation with the best relationship between current density and volt drop.

5. Long life, dimensionally stable and easily fabricated into any shape and reduced environmental burden and reduced maintenance.

Tiaano Platinised Titanium Anodes are most suitable for electro plating (Metal Finishing). The behaviour of platinized titanium ‘slave’ or ‘auxiliary’ anodes in electroplating is described, with particular reference to use in the plating of gold, rhodium, nickel, copper, tin and chromium. Preceding this survey some characteristics of commercially available platinized titanium are considered, including method of preparation, overvoltage, composition and platinum thickness. The results of accelerated laboratory tests to define limiting conditions of use are given, and durability is contrasted with that of alternative experimental noble-metal-coated refractory metals. Degradation of anode surfaces encountered in some practical applications is attributed to platinum dissolution resulting from reaction with particular organic additives, but in some circumstances an undermining of the coating as a result of superficial dissolution of the titanium may occur.

Platinised titanium anodes were the first coated electrodes to be marketed, and in many applications they have been displaced by dimensionally stable oxide coatings that have been highly optimised for the particular electrolyte. However, there remains a market for anodes which can be used in relatively small scale processes and this could be met by high performance, platinised titanium anodes. Indeed, the number of such applications in electrosynthesis and environmental processing is expanding. It may be timely, therefore, to re-examine the manufacture and performance of platinised titanium anodes and to consider using platinum alloys for nonspecific applications; for example, platinum/iridium coatings on titanium are known to have superior properties in some applications.

Advantages of platinized Titanium Anode:-

Tiaano, manufacturing and supplying premium quality range of Platinized Titanium Anode and Platinized Titanium Cathodes (Electrodes) for Water Ionization Industry. Water ionizer Platinized Titanium electrodes (Anodes and Cathodes) are one of the most important components, it falls into many basic forms like sheet, rod, tube or expanded mesh, slotted Sheet, multi hole sheet etc. Water Ionization chamber contains positively and negatively charged platinum plated titanium Anodes and cathodes. 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.

Alkaline Water, which comes out of the top spout on the ioniser, is the fraction that we drink and cook with.  It contains a high concentration of positively charged minerals that are beneficial for our health, such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Acidic Water, which is dispensed through the bottom hose or spout, is used externally for cleaning and disinfecting the skin and household surfaces.  It is discharged into the sink when it is not needed or saved for later use.

Platinised / Platinized titanium Electrodes (Platinum Plated Titanium Anode and Platinum Plated Titanium Cathode) are very frequently used as expanded mesh electrodes due to their excellent practice characteristics of high throwing power, good electrolyte exchange, compact construction, low weight etc.

The Platinised Titanium electrodes create the ionization, the electrode cell is the heart of an ionizer. It consists of a series of electrodes (plates / Mesh), each separated by a membrane. The Platinized Titanium Mesh Anode 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.

Titanium is non-soluble and stable in water. It will last for many years [20, 30 or more] without corroding. 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.

Platinum plated titanium anodes have been successfully used in Electro 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 Platinum plated 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.
