Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sodium hypochlorite preparation devices, in particular to a device for preparing sodium hypochlorite by electrolyzing seawater that supports polarity inversion. Background Art
[0002] Seawater contains sodium chloride, which is the raw material for preparing sodium hypochlorite. Preparing sodium hypochlorite from seawater has a cost advantage. The process of preparing sodium hypochlorite by electrolyzing seawater involves a series of chemical reactions. In this process, chloride ions in seawater are electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell to produce sodium hypochlorite. The chemical reactions are as follows: Anodic reaction: 2Cl - →Cl2 + 2e - ; Cathodic reaction: 2H2O + 2e - →2OH - + H2↑. Chemical reaction between electrodes: Cl2 + 2OH - →ClO - + Cl - + H2O, and then ClO - + H2O → HClO + OH - . Total reaction: NaCl + H2O → NaClO + H2↑. However, seawater contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions. During the process of electrolyzing seawater, calcium and magnesium ions will form deposits such as calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide on the cathode, resulting in an increase in the cell voltage of the electrolytic cell, a decrease in current efficiency, an increase in energy consumption when preparing the same amount of sodium hypochlorite. On the other hand, the large accumulation of deposits between the electrodes affects the contact between the electrodes and ions, further reducing the efficiency of preparing sodium hypochlorite.
