A novel graphene ternary composite direct current-carrying plate
The invention relates to a direct current-carrying plate, in particular to a
novel graphene
ternary composite direct current-carrying plate and application thereof.
Sodium chlorate electrolysis is produced by electrolyzing industrial brine and
is the
main industrial production method. The method consumes a large amount of
electricity, and
consumes about 5,500 kW and h/t in the electrolysis process, and the power
consumption
accounts for about 60% of the product cost.
The electricity consumption for the production of sodium chlorate depends on
the level
of the electrolyzer, the choice of cell type and the advancement of
electrolysis technology.
The current-carrying plate is an important part of the electrolysis cell. The
traditional bus-bar
connection electrolysis technology uses bolts or bus bars to connect the
copper bars and
aluminum rows. The current loss of this technology is large, and there is a
short circuit of the
electrolytic cells, which seriously affects the normal operation of the
equipment. Nowadays,
the direct current-carrying technology of the baffle is used. This technique
requires good
conductivity and mechanical strength of the baffle. The baffle needs to have a
certain porosity
and lower ohmic voltage drop.
In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention
provides a novel
graphene ternary composite direct current-carrying plate and the use thereof,
the carrier plate
has a small thickness, a reduced ohmic voltage, a good porosity, and a small
current loss.
The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following
technical
solutions:
A novel graphene ternary composite direct current-carrying plate characterized
by

comprising:
titanium plate;
a graphene composite layer placed between the anode plate and the cathode
plate, and
the graphene composite layer is doped with a certain proportion of graphene in
the aluminum
mesh frame structure;
and steel plate.
Preferably, the anode plate is a titanium plate, and the cathode plate is a
steel plate.
Preferably, the screen frame structure of the graphene composite layer is
rhombic,
square, circular or elliptical.

composite layer.
Preferably, the direct current-carrying plate has a thickness of 12-25 mm.
Preferably, the graphene composite layer has a thickness of 3-5 mm.
Preferably, the titanium plate is a titanium matrix ternary coating having a
thickness of
1-5 mm; and the steel plate is a thin steel plate having a thickness of 8-15
mm.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following
beneficial effects,
( 1 ) The invention adopts the direct current carrying technology of the
deflector, and
requires the deflector to have good chemical stability and mechanical
strength, has a certain
porosity, and has a low ohmic voltage drop. In view of the above requirements,
the present
invention relates to a novel graphene ternary composite direct current-
carrying plate, which
adopts a titanium matrix ternary coating and a thin steel plate to achieve
high chemical

stability and mechanical strength of the deflector; In the middle of the steel
plate, a graphene
composite layer with an aluminum mesh structure of a certain proportion of
graphene is used,
which has good porosity and mechanical strength, and significantly reduces the
thickness of
the deflector.
