[0002] Electrolysis is an electrochemical processing technology, which is widely used in chlor-alkali industry, electroplating, copper refining and other technical fields. Ion membranes are divided into cation exchange membranes, anion exchange membranes and proton exchange membranes. Cation exchange membranes are mainly used in chlor-alkali industry and can effectively inhibit the mixing of electrolysis products.
[0003] The existing ion membrane electrolysis device has poor ability to remove water scale, and the cation exchange membrane is easily affected by water scale, resulting in deterioration and metamorphic phenomenon.

[0027] (Three) beneficial effects
[0028] The present application provides an ion membrane electrolysis device with adjustable electrolyte flow. The following beneficial effects are achieved:
[0029] 1. This invention preheats saturated sodium chloride solution and low-concentration sodium hydroxide solution using interlaced heating plates B and C in a descaling tank, simultaneously causing scale to precipitate and be intercepted. A salinity meter, pH meter, and controller monitor the salinity and pH levels in the electrolytic cell. A pre-feeding mechanism regulates the flow rate of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, maintaining salinity and pH at set values. Temperature sensors A and B, along with a controller, heating plate A, water bath, heating plates B and C, regulate the temperature in the electrolytic cell and preheating tank. An axial flow fan and a return air pipe ensure reciprocating circulation of hot air between the heat exchanger and the preheating tank. This hot air convects with the solution in spiral tubes A and B, ensuring uniform solution temperature within the interlaced spiral tubes. This results in a uniform temperature distribution within the electrolytic cell, providing adequate protection for the cation exchange membrane while maintaining electrolysis efficiency.
[0030] 2. The heat emitted by spiral tubes A and B in this invention heats the air inside the heat exchanger. The hot air inside the heat exchanger is transferred to the preheating box by an axial flow fan. Under the action of the flow control plate, the hot air flows from below the flow control plate around the descaling box to above the flow control plate, and then flows back to the inside of the heat exchanger along the return air pipe. While balancing the solution temperature in spiral tubes A and B, the residual heat in the heat exchanger is used to keep the preheating box warm, reducing energy consumption.
