Platinum
is a precious metal having very good physical and chemical
properties such as
: : high corrosion resistance
: : thermal conductivity
: : catalytic nature
As it is very expensive, platinum cannot be used in
its solid form as an anode. So that Platinised Anodes
( Pt Anode ) are produced by plating platinum ( Pt )
on a specially treated precious metal ( Titanium / Niobium
/ Tantalum / Zirconium ) substrate by means of electrodeposition
process.
So, platinized anodes are economical
as well as it retains the superior physical and chemical
properties of platinum.
According to the substrate material
used, the platinized anodes are called as
: : platinized titanium anode
: : platinized niobium anode
: : platinised zirconium anodes
: : platinised tantalum anodes
TiTaN's Platinized niobium metal anode ( PLANMA ) is
the most suitable anode to the electrolytes having fluoride. |
