Patent number: 8216443Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing alkali metal chlorate in an electrolytic cell that is divided by a cation selective separator into an anode compartment in which an anode is arranged and a cathode compartment in which a gas diffusion electrode is arranged. The process comprises introducing an electrolyte solution containing alkali metal chloride into the anode compartment and an oxygen-containing gas into the cathode compartment. The invention also relates to an electrolytic cell for the production of alkali metal chlorate comprising a cation selective separator dividing the cell into an anode compartment in which an anode is arranged and a cathode compartment in which a gas diffusion electrode is arranged. An inlet for electrolyte solution and an outlet for electrolysed solution are provided in the anode compartment and an inlet for introducing oxygen-containing gas is provided in the gas chamber.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Akzo Nobel N.V.Inventors: Bo HÃ¥kansson, Eduardo Fontes, Fredrik Herlitz, Viktoria Lindstrand

Patent number: 7520049Abstract: Disclosed herein is a manufacturing method of a planar resistance heating element and a planar resistance heating element made using the method. In the manufacturing method of a planar resistance heating element by etching an aluminum foil deposited on an insulating substrate in a desired pattern, printing carbon paste and connecting current input terminals in parallel, the aluminum foil is adapted to undergo a multiple step tempering process to thereby prevent heat deformation. The carbon paste acting as a resistor element is made of electrically conductive carbon, graphite, a resin, a solvent and a hardener which are mixed so as to optimize physical properties of the carbon paste. As a result, prevention of heat deformation of the insulating substrate, uniform heat conductivity, excellent heat-generation effect and easy manufacture may be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Suntech Co., Ltd.Inventor: Gyongtae Kim

Patent number: 6572758Abstract: An electrolytic cell producing sodium chlorate uses an electrode, specifically an anode, having a surface or coating or treatment of a mixed metal oxide having ruthenium oxide as an electrocatalyst, a precious metal of the platinum group or its oxide as a stability enhancer, antimony oxide as an oxygen suppressant and a titanium oxide binder. The electrocatalytic coating is about 21 mole percent ruthenium oxide, about 2 mole percent iridium oxide, about 4 mole percent antimony oxide and the balance is titanium oxide. The coating is characterized by high durability and low oxygen content in an off-gas.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: United States Filter CorporationInventors: Vadim Zolotarsky, Irina A.

Patent number: 5993620Abstract: The invention discloses a novel structure for an expandable anode to be used in diaphragm cells. This new structure comprises a conductor bar in the form of a copper core provided with a titanium layer having a first and a second pair of flexible expanders fixed thereto. The welding points of the second pair of expanders are positioned orthogonally with respect to the welding points of the first pair of expanders along the circumference of the conductor bar. Also the anode surfaces are connected by welding points to the pairs of expanders. The anode of the invention may be both a new anode and a conventional existing anode having only a first pair of expanders whereto the second pair of expanders is attached. With the device of the present invention the ohmic drop between the conductor bar and the anode surface is substantially decreased and further there is no risk of damaging the interface between the copper core and the titanium coating by an excessive thermal stress, due to the welding procedures.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1998Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: De Nora S.p.A.Inventors: Giovanni Meneghini, Takashi Oishi
