titanium anode

Because they function as the cathode in electrolysis and offer excellent efficiency and long-lasting performance, titanium anode is crucial parts of electrochemical processes. To increase their longevity and resistance to corrosion, these anodes are made from premium titanium and coated with active substances like ruthenium or iridium. Numerous industries, such as chemical production, wastewater treatment, electrowinning, and seawater desalination, use the products. They support environmental sustainability, equipment longevity, and energy consumption reduction.

Technical Specifications

Manufacturing Process of Titanium Anode

The performance of a titanium anode largely depends on the quality of its substrate and coating. The manufacturing process involves several critical steps to ensure durability and electrochemical efficiency.
1: Titanium Substrate Preparation

High-purity titanium sheets, plates, or rods are selected as the base material. The substrate is cleaned, polished, and treated to remove impurities and enhance surface roughness. This ensures strong adhesion between the titanium surface and the coating.

2: Coating Application

The titanium substrate is coated with a thin layer of catalytic material, usually precious metal oxides such as RuO₂, IrO₂, or a combination of MMO coatings. The coating is applied through techniques like thermal decomposition, brush coating, or spray coating. Multiple layers are applied for maximum durability.

3: Heat Treatment

The coated substrate is subjected to controlled heat treatment, which activates the catalytic layer and ensures strong bonding with the titanium base. This step is crucial for enhancing the anode’s electrochemical stability and conductivity.

4: Quality Testing

Each titanium anode undergoes strict quality control testing, including adhesion testing, electrochemical performance evaluation, and dimensional inspection. Only anodes meeting international standards are approved for industrial use.

Titanium Anode Advantages

• Corrosion Resistance:Our products offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, even in harsh environments such as seawater and industrial chemicals. The coating materials further enhance this property, ensuring longevity and reliability.
• Energy Efficiency: The use of titanium anodes significantly reduces energy consumption in electrochemical processes, making them an eco-friendly choice.
• Customization: Our products can be tailored to meet specific requirements, including coating material, dimensions, and electrode surface area, ensuring optimal performance for each application.
• High Performance: Titanium’s excellent conductivity and the anodes’ high current density ensure efficient operation, making them suitable for high-demand processes.
• Durability: Thanks to the robust nature of titanium and its specialized coatings, Our products have a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Applications of Titanium Anode

Titanium anodes are widely used across multiple industries due to their durability and versatility.

1. Electroplating Industry

Titanium anodes are critical in the electroplating process, where they provide uniform current distribution and long-term stability. They are especially effective for plating precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and rhodium.

2. Water Treatment

In wastewater treatment and swimming pool disinfection, titanium anodes are used for electrochlorination and advanced oxidation processes. Their ability to generate active chlorine and hydroxyl radicals makes them highly effective for removing organic contaminants.

3.Chlor-Alkali Industry

Titanium anodes coated with ruthenium and iridium oxides are essential in the chlor-alkali process, producing chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide through electrolysis of brine.

4. Cathodic Protection

In marine structures, pipelines, and storage tanks, titanium anodes provide cathodic protection by preventing corrosion of steel and other metals exposed to seawater or soil.

5. Metal Refining and Electrowinning

Titanium anodes are used in hydrometallurgy for extracting non-ferrous metals like copper, zinc, and nickel through electrowinning processes.

6. Other Applications

Electrolytic production of persulfates

Anodizing aluminum

Organic synthesis and chemical processing

Titanium Anode Applications Application Case 
1: Wastewater Treatment Plant

A municipal wastewater treatment facility replaced lead-based anodes with titanium anodes coated with mixed metal oxides. The result was a 30% reduction in power consumption and improved pollutant degradation efficiency.

2: Offshore Cathodic Protection

An offshore oil platform installed titanium anodes for cathodic protection of steel structures. The anodes provided a service life of more than 20 years, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

3: Gold Electroplating

A jewelry manufacturer adopted titanium anodes for gold plating operations. The company achieved uniform coating thickness, reduced energy costs, and extended anode life, enhancing overall production efficiency.
