Material issues with the chlorate decomposition heater
Thread Content
In the chlorate decomposition process used in conjunction with ion membrane electrolyzers, should the heat exchanger material be titanium or a titanium-palladium alloy? I would appreciate some guidance from those who are experienced in this area; thank you!
Chloride ions are corrosive to titanium!
I’m using titanium; it’s been in use since 2009 with no problems so far
Where are you using your titanium tubes? Also, what material is used for the pipes in your dual-salt system?
The pipeline material for the disalt form is steel lined with low-calcium magnesium glue, while titanium pipes are used after adding brackish water
How is the performance of the di-salt pipes at present? Also, is your company located in the south or the north? What’s the temperature difference at the company in cold weather?
As a precaution, a titanium-palladium alloy is used, but it’s a bit more expensive. We used titanium 2 and it leaked.
We are specialized in manufacturing titanium equipment :handshake
I would like to ask if it would be possible to send some technical information regarding chlorates in titanium materials; our fiberglass material simply isn’t reliable enough
The chlorate decomposition tank used in our company is made of fiberglass, with resin type 470. I was wondering if there are any other better materials available?
I was wondering if silicon carbide heat exchangers are within your consideration?
