Ruthenium-Iridium Coated Titanium Mesh Cylinder Anode for Chlor-Alkali Industry, Electrochemical Synthesis
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer established in 1998, specializing in high-performance metal mesh electrodes. With an annual export value of US$5-10 million and a global presence across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we bring decades of expertise to the chlor-alkali and electrochemical synthesis industries. Our Ruthenium-Iridium Coated Titanium Mesh Cylinder Anode is engineered to deliver exceptional catalytic activity, long service life, and energy efficiency, making it the ideal choice for demanding electrolytic processes.
This anode combines a robust titanium mesh substrate with a proprietary ruthenium-iridium oxide coating, ensuring superior performance under high current densities and aggressive chemical environments. The cylindrical mesh design maximizes surface area, promotes uniform current distribution, and facilitates efficient gas evolution. Whether you are producing chlorine, caustic soda, or performing electrochemical synthesis, this electrode offers a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Catalytic Activity: The ruthenium-iridium coating lowers overpotential for chlorine and oxygen evolution, reducing energy consumption by up to 15-20% compared to conventional anodes.
- Exceptional Durability: The titanium substrate provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the mixed metal oxide layer withstands harsh acidic/alkaline conditions and high temperatures.
- Optimized Mesh Structure: Cylindrical mesh design increases effective surface area (up to 3-5 times geometric area), enhancing mass transfer and gas release.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in various diameters, heights, and mesh densities to fit your specific electrolyzer design. Contact us for custom sizes.
- Low Maintenance: Stable coating ensures long-term performance with minimal degradation, reducing downtime and replacement costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the typical lifespan of this ruthenium-iridium coated titanium anode?
Under normal chlor-alkali operating conditions (brine electrolyte, 3-5 kA/m², 80°C), the anode can last 5–8 years. Lifespan depends on current density, electrolyte purity, and maintenance. We can provide accelerated life test data upon request. -
Can the coating thickness be customized?
Yes, we offer coating thickness from 5 to 15 μm. Thicker coating provides longer life but may slightly increase overpotential. We recommend a standard thickness of 10 μm for most applications, but we can adjust based on your specific needs. -
What dimensions are available for the cylinder mesh anode?
We can produce cylinders with diameters from 50 mm to 500 mm and heights from 100 mm to 1500 mm. Mesh opening sizes range from 2 mm to 10 mm. Custom dimensions are welcome – please provide your drawing or specifications. -
Is this anode suitable for other electrochemical processes besides chlor-alkali?
Yes, the Ru-Ir coating is also effective for oxygen evolution in electroplating, water treatment, and organic electrosynthesis. However, the optimal coating composition may vary. We can tailor the coating for your specific reaction (e.g., higher iridium content for oxygen evolution). -
How is the anode packaged for export?
Each anode is individually wrapped with protective foam or plastic, then packed in a sturdy wooden case. We ensure the cylinder is secured to prevent deformation during transit. Additional packaging options are available upon request. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ is typically 10 pieces for standard sizes, but we can accommodate smaller trial orders for new clients. Please contact us for details. -
Do you provide technical support for installation and operation?
Yes, we offer technical guidance via email or video call. We can also provide operating parameters and recommendations for maximizing anode performance. For large orders, on-site support may be arranged. -
What is the lead time for production?
For standard sizes, production takes about 15–20 working days after order confirmation. Custom orders may require 25–30 working days. Urgent orders can be discussed.
