Abstract
The chlorine gas evolution activity,electric conductivity,service life,microstructure and surface morphology of RuO2-CO3O4-TiO2(60) coating on Ti-subetrate were studied in 0~30 m/o Co3O4 range by steady-state pelarization,x-ray diffraction,TEM and SEM methods.Active surface area of the coating was also evaluated. The in fluences of coating composition,micrortructure and surface morphology on chlorine gas evolution activity and active surface area of the coating were discussed in detail.As a result,sole rutile-type solid solution of RuO2,CO3O4 and TiO2 which showed better chlorine gas evolution activity,electric conductivity and service life was found in ca. 0~10 m/o Co3O4 range. Traditional RuO2-TiO2/Ti anedes being widely used in chlor-alkali industry could be medified by a suitable amount of Co3O4 for the benefit of reducing content of Ru as a noble metal in the coating and improving the electrochemical properties of the anodes.
