ELECTROLYTIC PROCESS OF FLUORINE, ADVANCES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

LiF impregnated carbon electrode with nickel coating for fluorine cell was investgated. Polarization or the occurrence of anode effect favor ably prevented by the function of fluorine - graphite intercalation co mpound formed on the carbon surface. Electrical connection between car bon anode and metal - lead was improved by a nickel using an atmospher ic plasma spraying method. With this treatment, the life of the carbon anode has prolonged by 2 years without polarization or disintegration . This electrode can be operated with high current density such as 15 A . dm(-2).
