Products Description
A Ruthenium-Iridium Coated Titanium Anode, also known as an iridium oxide coated titanium anode, is a high-performance electrode designed to leverage the catalytic efficiency of ruthenium and the exceptional antioxidant properties of iridium. This combination creates an electrode that performs exceptionally well in various industrial applications, including chlorine production, corrosion prevention, electroplating, and water treatment. Its low chlorine evolution potential and high oxygen evolution potential make it particularly well-suited for these applications.
Utilized in sectors such as chlor-alkali production, cathodic protection, and electroplating, the ruthenium-iridium-coated titanium anode can be customized with specific coatings, such as Ru-Ir-Ti, to enhance performance for particular uses. The standard coating typically consists of 8 grams of Ruthenium and 2 grams of Iridium per square meter, with a thickness of approximately 8 micrometres.

Use Precautions
To optimize the performance and extend the durability of ruthenium-iridium-coated electrodes, it is essential to implement appropriate handling and maintenance practices. Renowned for their high efficiency and longevity in electrochemical applications, these electrodes require specific care to preserve their functional integrity and coating condition. Adhering to the following guidelines will ensure that these advanced components reach their full operational potential and lifespan.
Avoid Hard or Sharp Objects: Refrain from using tools or items that might scratch or damage the electrode surface, as any impairment to its coating could compromise its efficiency. Preserving the surface integrity is essential for optimal electrode performance.
Proper Cleaning and Storage: Immediately after use, remove the electrode from the electrolytic environment, thoroughly rinse it with water to eliminate residual chemicals, and store it in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. This practice is crucial for preventing contamination and corrosion.
Current Exposure Management: Prolonged exposure to high currents can deteriorate the electrode's coating. It is important to maintain the current density within the specified operational range to preserve the electrode's longevity and ensure consistent performance.
Avoid Fluoride Ions: Ruthenium-iridium-coated electrodes are particularly sensitive to fluoride ions, which can cause damage and shorten their effective lifespan. To maintain the electrode's condition, avoid using it in fluoride-containing solutions.
Routine Inspections: Regularly inspect the electrode for signs of wear, damage, or coating erosion. Early detection and maintenance can help prevent failures and ensure continuous high performance.
Follow the Manufacturer's Instructions: Adhere strictly to the manufacturer's guidelines for installing, operating, and maintaining the electrodes. These instructions are specifically designed to ensure the electrodes function optimally and have an extended lifespan.
