Problems solved by technology

[0003] As we all know, the melting points of lead and cadmium are relatively low. When these metals are added, lead gas and cadmium gas are easily generated, causing harm to the production environment and personal health; create pollution
Although mercury is no longer added to flake zinc anodes, the added cadmium and lead are very effective components for batteries, which are difficult to eliminate, especially the amount of lead added in flake zinc anodes is still high
[0004] If no cadmium is added to the flake zinc anode, although it can be rolled into zinc flakes, it cannot meet the mechanical strength and hardness requirements of the flake zinc anode. If lead is not added at the same time, the zinc anode has poor ductility and cannot be rolled into zinc flakes, and The corrosiveness of zinc increases, and the performance requirements of the battery cannot be met
In response to these problems, it was proposed to add elements such as indium, bismuth, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, silicon, nickel, manganese, zirconium, titanium or rare earth to the negative electrode shell of the cylindrical zinc-manganese battery or the negative electrode zinc powder of the alkaline battery to form a Cadmium-free and lead-free zinc alloys, such as the technical solutions proposed by JP6-302323A, US5425913A, CN1004778B, etc.; but the zinc alloys in these patented technologies are not involved and do not solve the problem that the sheet zinc anode must be rolled continuously for multiple passes. It is zinc flake process and high melting point metal such as nickel, manganese, zirconium, titanium master alloy technology; as we all know, multi-element alloy melting is very complicated, some elements are added or element content changes or element combination is improper, and the process conditions are different, namely It will change the physical properties, mechanical properties and electrochemical properties of the alloy, and may even cause the alloy to deteriorate and cannot be processed smoothly; the combination of alloying elements, the effect of the addition amount on the flake zinc anode and the effect of the flake zinc anode have not been disclosed in the prior art. Research on the influence of other impurities in the anode

Embodiment 1

[0037] This example examines the eutectic properties of titanium, manganese, aluminum, indium and zinc

[0038] Heat the zinc to 450°C or above, add 0.002-0.01% titanium or manganese respectively by weight of zinc, keep it warm for 2 hours, observe the melting of titanium or manganese and zinc in the zinc liquid, as shown in Table 1. It can be seen from Table 1 that high melting point metals such as titanium and manganese cannot be directly melted with zinc at the conventional smelting temperature of zinc at 450-500°C; but they can be melted at 580-750°C. Therefore, zinc-titanium or zinc-manganese master alloy can be prepared first, and then the alloy is added to the zinc liquid.

[0039] Add 0.002-0.01% indium accounting for the weight of zinc to the zinc solution at 500°C, and it can be observed that indium and zinc melt rapidly. This is because indium has a low melting point and eutectics with zinc quickly. Aluminum and zinc can be co-melted, adding zinc-aluminum master a...

Embodiment 2

[0043] This embodiment investigates the eutectic situation of zinc-titanium master alloy or zinc-manganese master alloy and zinc

[0044]At a conventional zinc liquid temperature of 450-500°C, 10-2Kg of zinc-titanium master alloy or zinc-manganese master alloy is added to each ton of pure zinc, and the weight content of titanium or manganese in the master alloy is 0.2-5.0%. It can be observed that the master alloy and zinc are completely melted within 20 minutes, which is in line with the conventional zinc smelting process. And when the weight content of titanium or manganese in the master alloy5.0%, titanium or manganese and zinc The melting is not uniform and the melting time is increased.

[0046] This example examines the rolling properties, hardness, corrosion rate, discharge and storage properties of zinc anode alloys.

[0047] in,

[0048] (1) Evaluation of the rolling rate index: Continuously cast a 10mm thick zinc plate on a wheel casting machine at a speed of 2.5 m / min, and then make a zinc strip with a thickness of 0.20-0.60mm through continuous multi-pass rolling. The rolling rate should meet 94 -98%, the zinc strip must not have cracks, chips or breaks.

[0049] (2) Hardness value index evaluation: cut off the thin zinc strip after rolling about 5cm 2 Put it on the Vickers hardness tester, under the load of 50g, the Vickers hardness should reach the range of HV54-60.

[0050] (3) Corrosion rate index evaluation: cut off the rolled zinc strip about 5cm 2 , polished with fine sand, then cleaned with pure water, weighed after drying, then soaked in 10% dilute hydrochloric acid solution for 1 hour, taken out, washed, dried, and weighed after cooling, the...
