The following main types of anodes can be distinguished:
| |
| ANODE |
APPLICATION
|
| Platinised Titanium |
Cathodic Protection with high current densities, for example in seawater
Electro synthesis
Precious metal plating
Electro-dialysis with reversal of polarity
|
| KERAMOX® Titanium anode |
Seawater Electrolysis (anti-fouling)
Cathodic Protection
|
| Titanium with a Ruthenium Mixed Metal Oxide coating |
Production of hypo chlorite
Seawater Electrolysis (anti-fouling)
|
| Titanium with an Iridium Mixed Metal Oxide coating |
In highly acidic environments, such as
- Electro galvanising
- Anodising of Aluminium
- Recovery of metals
- Electro synthesis and membrane processes
- Precious metal plating
- Reverse pulse Copper plating
- Tinplating
|
| Titanium with a Platinum-Iridium Oxide coating |
Production of hypo chlorite
Seawater Electrolysis (anti-fouling)
|
| Anodes based on Niobium or Tantalum |
High voltage applications or strongly corrosive electrolytes
|
| Nickel electrodes |
Production of hydrogen
|
| Boron-Doped-Diamond anodes |
Higher over-potential, amongst other for disinfection and Electro synthesis
