This invention is directed toward process and material optimization of electrolytic cell separation processes designed to generate consistent electrolytic solutions in a better salt-converting and efficient manner, as well as to increase the amount of free available chlorine generated by the electro-chemical activation of the salt. This is generally accomplished by provision of ceramic diaphragm and/or polymer membranes characterized by optimal design, construction, manufacturing, and assemblage to exacting and precise specifications with respect to chemical and material compositions, slurry formulations, ceramic mold tolerances, ceramic firing and curing conditions, dimensional measurements for thickness, dimensional measurements for gapping and placement between the anode and cathode electrodes, and machining tolerance control.
A sintered ceramic process to create ion-permeable ceramic tubes for electrolytic cells in a manner which allows for “dialing in” on a desired porosity, structural strength, concentricity, uniformity, and tight tolerance and consistency in all dimensions including porosity, wall thickness, ID, OD, length and mass which will lead to consistent electrolysis performance.
A two-stage batch process for production of an electrolytic ceramic diaphragm comprising:
