This product combines superior corrosion resistance with excellent electrocatalytic activity, making it ideal for chlorine evolution, hypochlorite generation, and wastewater oxidation.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Base Material: High-purity titanium (Grade 1/2) ensures excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in aggressive electrolytes.
- Active Coating: Proprietary ruthenium-iridium mixed metal oxide (MMO) layer provides low overpotential for chlorine and oxygen evolution, enhancing energy efficiency.
- Mesh Cylinder Design: Large surface area promotes uniform current distribution and efficient mass transfer, reducing voltage drop and improving reaction kinetics.
- Customizable Dimensions: Diameter, height, and mesh opening can be tailored to fit your reactor or electrolyzer specifications.
- Long Service Life: Under typical operating conditions (current density ≤ 5000 A/m², temperature ≤ 70°C), the coating can last over 5 years, minimizing replacement frequency.
- Low Maintenance: The robust coating resists passivation and scaling, requiring only periodic cleaning.

Advantages for Your Application
- Energy Savings: The low overpotential of the Ru-Ir coating reduces cell voltage by up to 15% compared to conventional anodes, cutting electricity costs.
- Enhanced Chlorine Production: In chlor-alkali cells, the anode exhibits high selectivity for chlorine evolution, minimizing oxygen side reactions and improving product purity.
- Versatility in Water Treatment: Effective for electro-disinfection, COD removal, and cyanide oxidation, the anode works in both brine and fresh water environments.
- Durability: The titanium substrate and MMO coating resist acid attack and chlorine corrosion, ensuring stable performance even in harsh conditions.
- Easy Integration: The cylinder mesh shape can be used as a flow-through electrode or as a central anode in tubular reactors, simplifying system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the ruthenium-iridium coated titanium mesh anode?
A: Under standard operating conditions (current density ≤ 3000 A/m², temperature ≤ 60°C, pH 2–12), the coating can last 5–8 years. Higher current density or aggressive chemicals may reduce lifespan; please provide your process parameters for a tailored estimate. -
Q: Can I customize the cylinder dimensions and mesh size?
A: Yes, we offer full customization of diameter (50–500 mm), height (100–2000 mm), and mesh opening (2–10 mm). Just provide your reactor dimensions and flow requirements. -
Q: Is this anode suitable for seawater electrolysis to produce hypochlorite?
A: Absolutely. The Ru-Ir coating is optimized for chlorine evolution in chloride-containing solutions, including seawater, brine, and brackish water. It is widely used in electrochlorination systems. -
Q: What is the recommended current density range for best performance?
A: For chlor-alkali applications, we recommend 2000–4000 A/m². For water treatment, 500–2000 A/m² is typical. Operation beyond 5000 A/m² may require special design considerations. -
Q: How do you ensure coating uniformity and adhesion?
A: We apply the coating using thermal decomposition in multiple controlled layers, followed by an adhesion test (tape test and thermal shock test). Each batch includes quality documentation. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, small sample anodes (e.g., 50×50 mm flat mesh or small cylinder) are available for evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your testing conditions. -
Q: What is the packaging for export?
A: Each anode is individually wrapped with anti-static foam, then secured in a wooden crate with shock-absorbing padding. We comply with international shipping standards to prevent damage during transit. -
Q: Can you supply the anode with a connection wire or bus bar?
A: Yes, we can weld titanium or copper bus bars, or attach a titanium wire with a seal. Specify your connection method when ordering.
