Product Introduction
Titanium anodes are widely used in seawater desalination systems due to their exceptional corrosion resistance, high electrochemical efficiency, and long service life. They play a key role in electrochlorination systems, which are essential for disinfection and biofouling control in desalination plants.
Application Principle: Electrochlorination
In desalination systems, seawater is electrolyzed to generate disinfectants in situ, preventing microbial growth and scaling.
Electrochemical Reactions
Anode (Chlorine evolution):
Cathode (Hydrogen evolution):
In solution:
The generated hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and chlorine act as powerful disinfectants, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the desalination system.
