Titanium anodes can be subdivided into: titanium anode baskets, titanium anode nets, titanium anode plates and titanium anode rods according to different industrial needs. The base material of these titanium anode products is made of pure titanium TA1 and TA2 with a titanium content of more than 99.6%. In industrial production, in order to make TA1, TA2 more adaptable to the high electrocatalytic activity and corrosion-resistant production environment, a coating of 2-10μm thickness is added to the exterior. When the coating of titanium anode is deactivated, the substrate can be repaired and re-coated. Therefore, it is important to recycle titanium anodes properly.
Titanium Anode Parameters And Brands
The conventional parameters of titanium anode mesh are mesh size 20-100 mesh, wire warp 0.2-1.0mm, current density 500-3000A/m2, corrosion resistance pH 1-12, Cl<200g/L, tensile strength ≥300MPa, elongation ≥25%, and general service life of 2-4 years. Internationally, the main manufacturers of titanium anode mesh brands are: Baoji Titanium Valley Group, Tecno SRL, Magneto, Toho Titanium, MembraPure.
The core parameters of titanium anode rods circulating in the market are: diameter 10-50mm, length 500-2000mm, current density 500-2000A/m2, corrosion resistance pH 1-13, resistance to Cl concentration <200g/L, normal service life 1-3 years. The main brands are Baoji Titanium, TECHMETAL, De Nora, Titanium Tantalum, Umicore. titanium anode rods are widely used in the electroplating industry for galvanizing, nickel-plating, chromium-plating, and other surface treatments; in the chlor-alkali industry for the production of chlorine and caustic soda by electrolysis of brine; in the water treatment industry for seawater desalination and electrochemical disinfection (sodium hypochlorite generation), Wastewater treatment; Hydrogen production from electrolyzed water and fuel cell bipolar plates in the energy and battery fields.
Recyclable titanium anode plates are generally coated, the size specification of economic titanium anode is 1-3mm thickness, 0.5-1m2 area, 500-2000A/m2 current density, corrosion resistance pH 2-12, Cl<100g/L, and the surface treatment is sandblasted Ra 3.2μm. The main brands of titanium anode plates in the world are: Baoji Longsheng Titanium, Metakem, Permascand, Titanium Anode Plate, Baoji Titanium, Baoji Titanium, Metakem, Permascand, Titanium Anode Plate, Baoji Titanium and Baoji Titanium. Permascand, Titanium Metals and JCC are the major global brands of titanium anode plates with different core technologies and their own areas of strength.
The rules for recycling titanium anode baskets are stricter than those for titanium anode mesh/plates/bars! Currently, there are only two types of titanium anode baskets that can be recycled at a high price, industrial grade and special customized type. In addition to the specific requirements of the titanium anode basket, the current titanium anode basket market is the most recycled industrial grade titanium anode basket. Its core parameters for the basket size of 200 × 400 × 600mm, mesh number 20-50, the maximum current density can reach 3000A/m2, corrosion resistance for pH 0-14, sulfuric acid concentration ≤ 30%, the conductive structure is a multi-contact copper-titanium composite conductive rod, contact resistance of ≤ 1mΩ, the service life of 3-5 years.
