Definitions

  • the invention has for its object to achieve a reduction or control of the formation of deposits on the cathode during the electrolysis of seawater or salt solutions containing contaminating metal ions for the recovery of solutions of chlorine-oxygen acids or their salts, advantages of known methods being used without their disadvantages to have to put up with.
  • the invention now consists in operating the electrolysis cell with unpurified sea water or unpurified salt solution until a layer is formed on the electrodes
  • Compounds of the contaminating metal ions, in particular calcium and / or magnesium ions are deposited in a sufficient strength and effect a current efficiency of more than 90%, and that then the calcium and / or magnesium ions contained in the unpurified sea water or in the unpurified saline solution by adding sodium hydroxide solution and / or calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate at a pH of more than 9 precipitates in whole or in part, if necessary separates and feeds the cleaned solution to the electrolysis cell.
  • Adequate layer thickness is understood in the sense of the invention to mean a layer thickness which is sufficient to achieve a current efficiency of more than 90%.
  • this is fed to the electrolyzer in carrying out the method according to the invention until a sufficient layer thickness is reached.
  • the current yield slowly increases over time until values of over 90% are reached. This increase generally takes place over a period of 5 to 30 hours, the cell voltage generally increasing by 0.2 to 0.3 volt with the same current density. After this deposition phase, the cell voltage continues to increase and this increase is 1 to 1.5 volts within 100 to 2000 hours, depending on the concentration of contaminating ions.
  • the supply of the unpurified salt solution is switched off by the method according to the invention and the purified salt solution is then fed to the electrolyte.
  • the impurities which are predominantly contained in the salt solution in the form of calcium and / or magnesium ions or iron ions, are precipitated by adding sodium hydroxide solution and / or calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate or soda at a pH of more than 9.
  • the magnesium ions are precipitated by the hydroxyl ions of the calcium hydroxide, the calcium ions by the carbonate ions and magnesium hydroxide. Calcium carbonate precipitated.
  • the precipitation of the impurities is usually brought about completely. In some cases, depending on the local conditions of the electrolytic cells, it may be sufficient if the majority of the contaminants are precipitated.
  • the precipitation products can also remain wholly or partly in the finely divided state in the brine or saline solution.
  • impurities of, for example, calcium and magnesium salts in amounts of about 5 mg Ca ++ / 1 and 1 mg Mg ++ / 1 are deposited on the cathodes in the brine and gradually cause a layer to form.
  • electrolytic cells are used in the method according to the invention, for example electrolytic cells with alternating vertical anodes and cathodes.
  • the electrode spacing is, for example, 2 to 5 mm and the electrolyte with a flow rate of 0.3 to 2 m / s is electrolyzed at a current density of 2 to 25 A / dm 2 .
  • the temperature of the electrolyte can be 10 to 50 ° C and the pH can range from 7 to 10.
  • the cathodes are made of electrically conductive, wear-resistant metal materials, such as titanium, nickel, or iron and nickel alloys.
  • the anode material can be graphite.
  • anodes are titanium, niobium or tantalum electrodes coated with noble metal or noble metal oxide or so-called dimensionally stable anodes, in which the electrocatalytic effect is based on mixed oxides of noble metals and film-forming metals, in particular titanium.
  • the chlorine reacts with the sodium hydroxide solution to form sodium hypochlorite according to:
  • hypochlorous acid Sodium hypochlorite reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid
  • reaction (1) or reaction (2) depends on the pH of the environment. At a pH> 5, the entire active chlorine is in the form of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions. The higher the pH value, the greater the proportion of hypochlorite ions.
  • the advantages of the method according to the invention can be seen in the fact that a targeted layer formation on the cathodes occurs uniformly in all electrolysis cells of the system.
  • the thin passive layer of a certain thickness deposited according to the invention prevents an excessive reduction of the hypochlorite ions, thus increases the yield of hypochlorite and makes cell cleaning unnecessary or reduces it to a very considerable extent.
  • FIG. 1 shows the efficiency of hypochlorite cells as a function of the running time.
  • a plant with 8 cells connected in series was operated with sea water at 28 ° C. at a rate of 20 m 3 / h.
  • the current strength was slowly increased from 500 A to 5000 A over a total of 30 hours.
  • the voltage rose from 25 to 35 V.
  • the content of active chlorine in the form of NaOCl rose from 0.2 g / l to 2.8 g / l in the same period.
  • the current yield ran according to the diagram in FIG. 1, ie without the addition of precipitation chemicals, the current yield would asymptotically approach the value of 100%, but at the same time the voltage would rise and the Pollution increase, so that after 2000 hours at the latest the plant would have to be shut down with acid washing.
