Description

The Set :

– 2 electrodes : Anode + Cathode

Specification :

– Anode : Lead dioxide (PbO2) coating on Titanium substrate provides excellent resistance to chemicals, and oxidation.
– Anode size : 50x40x3mm of working surface + 50x10mm connector, as the pictures (allow some little differences)
– Cathode size : same size (but thickness of 1,5mm)
– The PbO2 coating is around 200 to 300µm on average.
– The lifetime is high, but depends on the use conditions.
– Max current is 150 to 300mA/Cm² (best near 250mA/Cm² for perchlorate)
– The shape has been design for 5 Amps per face (if the connector do not rise too much in temperature) lower current = longer lifetime.
– Max working temperature: 60 to 70°C recommended is 45-55°C.
– This anode allow to electrolyze from chloride to perchlorate in one step (keep in mind it is really difficult, 90 % of people fail), so MMO for chlorate production first will be easiest and extend the life-span by a ratio of 2 to 3.
– Durable and reliable laboratory equipment.
– This coating thick lifespan enable to produce 5 to 20Kg of perchlorate by starting from chlorate at 50% yield.

Warning:

– PbO2 coating is quite sensitive : never chock them.
– Almost all anodes have few imperfections on the coating, in each case it stay under 2-3% of the total coating and don’t represent a problem for the use.
– Avoid fluorine and all fluorine salt (persulfate works very well).
– Respect the max current to avoid fast degradation.
– PbO2 is toxic for the environment (lead dioxide can be throw with hold Lead-acid car batteries)
– Don’t reverse polarity, it will rapidly destroyed the electrodes
– Gas are dangerous and flammable, the running cell MUST work in appropriate place.
– Read the manual.

Package included:

– 1pc x Anode PbO2 coating on Titanium mesh + 1pc x Cathode Titanium plate
