Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ion-exchange membrane caustic soda production equipment, specifically a device for increasing the decomposition rate of chlorate in ion-exchange membrane caustic soda production. Background Technology
[0002] In the ion-exchange membrane process for caustic soda production, chlorate decomposition is a crucial step. Currently, the pH of the brine produced after chlorate decomposition in the desalination tank needs to be adjusted before being fed into the brine dechlorination system; however, existing equipment faces several challenges. Because the acidic brine at the outlet of the chlorate decomposition tank is quite high, the decomposition capacity is limited by the pH control parameter (1-2) of the dechlorination system. In the early stages of ion-exchange membrane operation, when there are few side reactions in the electrolyzer, production requirements can still be met.
[0003] However, after about two years of operation, the ion-exchange membrane develops numerous pinholes and pinholes due to aging, deterioration, and mechanical damage. This increases side reactions in the anode chamber of the electrolyzer, leading to a dramatic increase in chlorate production. At this point, the decomposition capacity of the chlorate decomposition tank can no longer meet production requirements. Furthermore, because the brine system is a circulating system, chlorate gradually accumulates within it, causing a decrease in the sodium chloride content of the refined brine. Simultaneously, increased leakage from the ion-exchange membrane allows brine to enter the cathode chamber, resulting in an increase in chlorate content in the alkali. Ultimately, this causes severe corrosion to the subsequent caustic soda evaporation equipment, significantly increasing equipment maintenance costs and severely impacting the economic efficiency of the chlor-alkali system. Therefore, we provide a device for increasing the chlorate decomposition capacity in caustic soda production using the ion-exchange membrane method. Utility Model Content
