Titanium metal electrodes play a crucial role in electrolyzed water machines, significantly impacting the quality of water purification. It is essential to select electrodes based on their specific working properties. In the water treatment field, metal electrodes must meet the following fundamental requirements:
---Excellent electrical conductivity.
---Strong resistance to corrosion.
---Reliable mechanical strength and processing capabilities.
---Longevity in operation.
---Optimal electrocatalytic performance and other related factors.
In water treatment, particularly during the electrolysis process for generating acid and alkali ion water, various highly oxidizing substances like O3, H2O2, HCLO, etc., are present in the water. The anode is often subjected to reverse polarization. Therefore, specialized functional electrodes are necessary. A titanium metal-coated electrode, which consists of a noble metal oxide from the platinum group with exceptional electrocatalytic performance, oxidation resistance, and electrical conductivity, is used as an insoluble anode.
The characteristics of this anode are as follows:
Titanium possesses lightweight properties, good strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent performance. Notably, it demonstrates unparalleled resistance to wet chlorine compared to other metal materials. For instance, when the electrolysis of water contains a small number of chloride ions, stainless steel plates quickly undergo pitting corrosion, leading to a shortened electrode lifespan. However, titanium does not encounter these issues.
The coating contains various precious metals from the platinum group, resulting in high current efficiency, excellent electrical conductivity, remarkable electrocatalytic performance, strong oxidation resistance, long operational life, and energy efficiency.
By carefully considering these factors and selecting the appropriate titanium metal electrodes, one can ensure the stable and effective electrolytic operation of alkaline electrolytic cells in various water treatment applications, including household electrolyzed water machines, disinfectant water machines, and large water plants.
