Abstract
Safe anode for electrochemical cells, of the type of vertical anodes constituted of a hanging structure based on a first horizontal bar, second vertical distribution bars defined by a copper or aluminum core with a titanium exterior layer, and coated or uncoated titanium anode plates attached to the second distribution bars, on both sides, such that the safe anode incorporates an adapter element that comprises, at least, one current limiter assembly, arranged between, at least, one of the second vertical distribution bars, and, at least, one coated or uncoated titanium anode plate, connecting the vertical distribution bar to the coated or uncoated titanium anode plate.
Claims15
An anode for electrochemical cells, of the type of vertical anodes provided with a hanging structure having:
- a horizontal current supply conductor bar and;
- one or more vertical distribution bars connected to the current supply bar, the distribution bars comprising:
- a core of a conductive element selected from the group consisting of copper, aluminum, lead and alloy thereof, and
- an outer layer or skin of a material selected from the group consisting of titanium or alloys thereof, valve metals or alloys thereof, and lead or alloys thereof, and;
- at least one coated or uncoated titanium anode plate associated with the vertical distribution bars,
- wherein the anode incorporates an adapter element arranged between at least one of the vertical distribution bars and at least one of the coated or uncoated titanium anode plates, the adapter element comprising at least one current limiter assembly having a current limiter, said current limiter assembly being associated with the at least one vertical distribution bar and the at least one coated or uncoated titanium anode plate in such a way that connects the vertical distribution bar to the coated or uncoated titanium anode plate.
