Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an electrode for electrolytic processes, in particular to an anode suitable for oxygen evolution comprising a valve metal substrate, a catalytic layer, a protection layer consisting of oxides of valve metals interposed between the substrate and the catalytic layer and an outer coating of oxides of valve metals. The electrode of the invention is particularly suitable for processes of cathodic electrodeposition of chromium from an aqueous solution containing Cr (III).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Electrode suitable for oxygen evolution in electrolytic processes comprising a valve metal substrate, a catalytic layer, a protective layer consisting of valve metal oxides interposed between said substrate and said catalytic layer, and an external layer of a valve metal oxide, the valve metal oxide comprising tantalum pentoxide, said catalytic layer comprising mixed oxides of iridium, of tin and doping element M being bismuth, the molar ratio Ir:(Ir+Sn) ranging from 0.25 to 0.55 and the molar ratio M:(Ir+Sn+M) ranging from 0.02 to 0.15, wherein the specific loading of said valve metal oxides in said external layer ranges from 12 to 15 g/m 2 referred to the oxides. 2. The electrode according to claim 1 wherein said molar ratio M:(Ir+Sn+M) ranges from 0.05 to 0.12. 3. The electrode according to claim 1 wherein said molar ratio Ir:(Ir+Sn) ranges from 0.40 to 0.50. 4. The electrode according to claim 1 wherein said oxides of iridium, of tin and doping element M in said catalytic layer consist of crystallites of average size below 5 nm.
