MMO Titanium Anode

Key Features

1. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Titanium, renowned for its inherent corrosion resistance, serves as the base material for our MMO anodes. This, combined with the protective MMO coating, allows the anode to withstand even the most aggressive electrolyte environments. Whether it's highly acidic solutions, alkaline media, or chloride - rich environments, our MMO Titanium Anode remains stable, ensuring long - term operation without significant degradation.

2. High Electro - Catalytic Activity: The mixed metal oxide coating, typically composed of precious metals such as iridium (Ir), ruthenium (Ru), and tantalum (Ta) oxides, imparts excellent electro - catalytic properties to the anode. This enables efficient catalysis of electrochemical reactions, leading to higher reaction rates and improved current efficiencies. In applications like electrolysis, the MMO Titanium Anode can significantly enhance the production of desired products while reducing energy consumption.

3. Dimensional Stability: One of the key advantages of MMO - coated titanium anodes is their dimensional stability. During operation, the anode maintains its shape and size, ensuring consistent performance over time. This is crucial for applications where precise control of the anode's geometry is essential, such as in electroplating processes where uniform deposition of materials is required.

4. Long - Lasting Durability: Thanks to the combination of the corrosion - resistant titanium substrate and the wear - resistant MMO coating, BYC Ti's MMO Titanium Anode has an extended service life. It can endure continuous use in harsh conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing downtime. This not only saves costs but also improves the overall efficiency of the electrochemical systems in which it is used.

5. Lightweight Design: Titanium is a lightweight metal, and our MMO anodes inherit this advantage. The lightweight nature of the anode makes it easier to handle, install, and transport, especially in large - scale industrial applications where weight can be a limiting factor.

Technical Specifications

1. Substrate Material: High - purity titanium, available in Grade 1 or Grade 2 according to customer requirements. Grade 1 titanium offers excellent formability and corrosion resistance, while Grade 2 titanium provides a higher level of strength.

2. MMO Coating Composition: The MMO coating consists of a carefully formulated blend of metal oxides, such as IrO₂ - RuO₂ - TiO₂ for seawater applications where the main anode product is Cl₂, and IrO₂ - Ta₂O₅ for use in soil, fresh water, and brackish water, with anode products mainly being O₂ or Cl₂ or both. The composition can be customized to suit specific application needs.

3. Coating Thickness: The coating thickness can be adjusted within the range of 0.5 - 12 microns. Thicker coatings are often preferred for applications with high - current densities or extremely corrosive environments, as they offer enhanced protection and longer service life. However, for applications where precise control of the electro - catalytic activity is required, thinner coatings may be more suitable.

4. Anode Shape: Available in a variety of shapes, including plate, tube, mesh, wire, and ribbon. Custom - shaped anodes can also be fabricated to meet specific design requirements. The shape of the anode is carefully selected to optimize the surface area in contact with the electrolyte, thereby maximizing the efficiency of electrochemical reactions.

5. Working Current Density: Can withstand a wide range of working current densities, depending on the application and anode configuration. For example, in fresh water applications, it can handle up to 100 A/m², while in seawater, it can operate at current densities as high as 600 A/m².

6. Expected Life: The MMO Titanium Anode has an expected service life of over 20 years in most typical applications. The low consumption rate of the MMO coating, typically around 1 - 6 mg/A - a (milligrams per ampere - year), contributes to its long - term durability.

Applications

1. Cathodic Protection: Our MMO Titanium Anodes are widely used in impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems. They can protect various metal structures, such as pipelines, storage tanks, ship hulls, and offshore platforms, from corrosion. In soil, fresh water, seawater, and concrete environments, the anodes provide a stable current source, ensuring the effective protection of the protected metal.

2. Electroplating: In the electroplating industry, MMO Titanium Anodes are essential for achieving high - quality deposits. They are used in processes such as hard chrome electroplating, precious metal electroplating (e.g., gold, silver, and platinum plating), and copper electroplating for printed circuit boards. The anodes enable precise control of the plating process, resulting in uniform and adherent metal coatings.

3. Water Treatment: MMO Titanium Anodes play a crucial role in water treatment applications. They are used in electrolytic processes for the production of chlorine, ozone, and other disinfectants. In addition, they can be used in electrochemical water treatment systems to remove contaminants, such as heavy metals and organic pollutants, from water.

4. Electrochemical Synthesis: The high electro - catalytic activity of MMO Titanium Anodes makes them suitable for electrochemical synthesis of various chemicals. They can be used in the production of inorganic chemicals, such as sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide, as well as in the synthesis of organic chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.

5. Chemical Sensors: Due to their excellent electrochemical properties, MMO Titanium Anodes can be used as electrodes in chemical sensors. They can detect and respond to changes in the electrochemical environment of the analyte, enabling the accurate detection of various chemical substances.

Manufacturing Process

At BYC Ti, we follow a rigorous manufacturing process to ensure the highest quality of our MMO Titanium Anodes. The process begins with the selection of high - purity titanium substrates, which are then carefully cleaned and pre - treated to ensure proper adhesion of the MMO coating. The MMO coating is applied using advanced techniques, such as thermal decomposition or electro - deposition. During the coating process, strict quality control measures are implemented to ensure uniform coating thickness and composition. After coating, the anodes are thoroughly tested for their electrochemical performance, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy.
