AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing chloroauric acid preparation apparatuses, when the voltage inside the cell rises to 1.30V, the surface of the Au anode electrode becomes passivated, requiring the anode electrode to be removed for cleaning or suppression treatment, which affects the electrolytic preparation efficiency.

Method used

An electrolytic preparation device for chloroauric acid was designed, which includes a passivation cleaning mechanism. A servo motor drives a lead screw to rotate, which in turn moves a transmission seat. Combined with a brush roller, the anode plate is brushed and cleaned. Hydrochloric acid is sprayed through a spray pipe to dissolve the passivation material, thus avoiding the need to disassemble the anode plate.

Benefits of technology

In the electrolysis process, Au anode plate passivation is suppressed in real time, improving electrolysis efficiency, avoiding the anode plate disassembly step, and enhancing preparation efficiency and electrolyte replenishment effect.
