Platinized Titanium & Niobium Anode Dimensionally Stable Anode

Platinum Plated or Coated titanium electrode for water ionizer. The vital component of a water ionizer is “electrodes (Anodes and Cathodes)”. Electrodes are immersed in the water and send positive DC voltage into one side of the ionizer to make acid water. Negative into the other side to make alkaline water.

Tiaano is one of the leading Indian anode for ionizer manufacturers, and with professional factory. We are able to provide you cost effective anode for ionizer with good quality.

The material that the electrodes are made out of is very important, as this not only increases the efficiency of electrolysis. But it can also contaminate the water.  Corrosion, oxidation and degradation of the electrodes are common problems with electrolysis. Most water ionizers use platinum coated titanium electrodes. Platinum is very inert and thus does not react with the electrolytes or products during electrolysis. This also increases the longevity of the machine.

Types of Water Ionizer Electrode:-

Platinum Plated Titanium Mesh Electrode

Platinised Titanium Sheet Electrode

Platinized Titanium Rod Electrode

Custom made Platinized Titanium Electrode with different profile

How Water Ionizers Work?

Water ionizers produce alkaline water containing dissolved molecular hydrogen at the cathode (negative electrode) and acidic water at the anode (positive electrode). Water ionizers are plugged into the AC outlet, the power is then transformed to direct current (DC) so that electrolysis can be performed. Electrolysis alone does not change the pH of the water however, most of these devices contain a basic semi-permeable ion-exchange membrane. It prevents the catholyte and anolyte compartments from mixing together. Thus producing alkaline (mild or strong) and acidic (mild or strong) water at the cathode and anode, respectively.

Tiaano manufacturing different sizes and Shapes of platinised Titanium Electrodes for water ionizers. A water ionizer works on the simple principle of electrolysis. Any type of water ionizer has two electrodes put into a container having two chambers separated by a 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. 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.

Most worthy ionizers on the market use Anodes and cathodes made of platinum plated or coated titanium. Titanium will not dissolve in your ionized water. The ionizer uses grade 1 titanium (as per ASTM Standard) electrodes to be plated with a good electrical conductor. Stainless steel was used for Water Ionizer electrodes in the late 1980's. It was found not be a suitable material because they did not last more than a few months.

Water Ionization Electrode

Platinum Plated Titanium Anode and Platinum Plated Titanium cathode (Positive Anode and Negative Anode. The Platinum Plated Titanium electrodes create the ionization, the electrode cell is the heart of an ionizer. It consists of a series of electrodes, each separated by a semi permeable 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.

Alkaline Water, which comes out of the top spout on the ionizer, 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.

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.

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.

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.
