Abstract:

In order to develop a safe,efficient and convenient method for the preparation of high-purity ClO2,the factors influencing the preparation of ClO2 from electrolysis of NaClO2 by examining the influence of different catalysts in a double-compartment electrolytic cell were systematically investigated and the law of reaction kinetics,and the corrosion of the electrodes under long-term operation was characterized.The results showed that high-purity ClO2 could be prepared by electrolyzing NaClO2 in a double chamber electrolytic cell.The optimal reaction conditions were NaClO2 concentration of 0.6 mol/L,NaCl concentration of 0.2 mol/L,current of 3 A,and reaction time of 30 min,at which the ClO2 yield and purity could reach 51.2% and 95.1%,respectively.The reaction process was a zero-stage reaction,k=13.62 mol/(L·min).MnO2 showed better performace,the best substance ratio n(MnO2)/n(NaClO2)=0.10,the yield and purity of ClO2 could reach 66.1% and 98.1%,respectively.The catalytic reaction process was still a zero-stage reaction.MnSO4 had certain catalytic effect on the preparation of ClO2,the concentration was too high and block the proton membrane to reduce its yield,the optimal concentration of MnSO4 was 0.05 mol/L,the yield and purity of ClO2 could be up to 56.4% and 96.7%,respectively.NiSO4,CoSO4 blocked the proton exchange membrane to affect the efficiency of proton migration,which inhibited the generation of ClO2.The characterization results of XRD,SEM and EDS showed that TiCl2 was generated on the surface of the electrode for a long period of time,but the titanium-based ruthenium-iridium alloy electrode used did not corrode significantly,and it could be used for a long period of time,and the results provided a theoretical basis for the development of a new method of preparation of ClO2.
