Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the deterioration of an electrode plating part when scale deposited on an electrodes is removed by backward current washing in an ionic water generator by the electrolysis of water. SOLUTION: In backward current washing in which the polarity of direct current is inverted from that in electrolysis, amperage, after being kept null for a while, is increased gradually up to a prescribed value, and then the value is kept. By making the amperage null, hydrogen ions near an anode are discharged outside an electrolytic bath to decrease the a hydrogen ion concentration near the anode. Next, by increasing the amperage gradually to a prescribed value of reverse polarity, hydroxyl ions are generated near the anode to neutralize residual hydrogen ions, preventing the peeling of an electrode plating part by the generation of titanium hydride by titanium of an electrode substrate.

2. Description of the Related Art The above-mentioned ionic water generator has a pair of electrodes in an electrolyzer, and the raw water supplied to the electrolyzer is electrolyzed by passing a direct current between the electrodes, and the acidic water is applied to the anode side. It produces ion water and alkaline ion water on the cathode side. In this ionized water generator, scale such as hydroxide mainly composed of calcium ions in raw water is deposited and deposited on the surface of the cathode during electrolysis. This scale increases the electrical resistance between the electrodes, reduces the electrolysis efficiency and eventually renders electrolysis impossible. Therefore, as a countermeasure, a so-called reverse electric cleaning method is generally adopted in which the operation is performed by reversing the polarity of the current supplied to the electrode at regular intervals and the deposited scale is dissolved and removed in an acidic water atmosphere. .

FIG. 3 is a waveform diagram showing a conventional electrode energizing method when performing the above-described reverse electric cleaning, wherein the vertical axis represents the forward / reverse current value of the direct current flowing between the electrodes, and the horizontal axis represents time. In FIG. 2, electrolysis is performed during a time C during which a current having a predetermined polarity and a constant current value A flows, and acidic ionized water and alkaline ionized water are generated. On the other hand, as time passes, the scale described above is deposited on the cathode side. Therefore, in order to remove this scale, the electrode is reversely cleaned by flowing a current having a constant current value B having a reverse polarity and a constant value B for a certain period of time for a period D. When the polarity of the direct current with respect to the electrode is reversed, the cathode during electrolysis functions as an anode, and the deposited scale is placed in an acidic atmosphere near the anode. as a result,
Scales that are easily dissolved in an acidic atmosphere are removed by elution in acidic ionic water.

As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional reverse electric cleaning is repeatedly performed while switching the polarity of the direct current to the electrodes to the positive and negative polarities at once. The current value that flows in the actual device varies depending on the water quality specification of the product, and ranges from several A to several tens A. The electrolysis time and the backwash time also differ depending on the product. For example, one hour for one hour electrolysis time for backwashing, one day for 30 minutes backwash for one hour,

Next, the relationship between the backwashing and the deterioration of the electrodes will be described. Generally, a flat electrode is formed by plating a titanium substrate with platinum or a platinum / iridium alloy. If the electrolysis and the backwashing are continuously performed using such an electrode, ion water of a required quality cannot be obtained due to deterioration of the electrode plating portion.
The electrode life is usually about 1500 to 3000 hours for a normal product. The deterioration of the electrode plating part is specifically caused by the elution and peeling of the plating. It has been found that the elution of plating proceeds in proportion to the amount of electricity passed, but is accelerated by a rapid change in the current polarity. Further, peeling of plating occurs due to repetition of reversal of current polarity. Therefore, the repetition of the reversal of the current polarity by the backwashing for scale removal has a great effect on the electrode life.

With reference to FIG. 3, the above-mentioned peeling of plating will be described below. FIG. 3 is an equilibrium diagram of titanium with respect to potential and pH in a water (25 ° C.)-Titanium system.
The vertical axis represents the potential of the titanium surface, and the horizontal axis represents the pH of water in contact with titanium. This equilibrium diagram shows the form of titanium that is stably present under conditions determined by the combination of the titanium potential on the vertical axis and the pH of water on the horizontal axis. By the way, since a current of several A to several tens A flows through the anode at the time of electrolysis, its surface potential is always several V or more. The electrolyte water near the anode is more acidic than pH 5 due to hydrogen ions generated by electrolysis.

Therefore, when the current polarity with respect to the electrode is switched at the time of the backwashing and the electrode potential changes from plus to minus, the condition for placing titanium changes along the path indicated by arrow A in FIG. This is to enter the area where the titanium is shaded in FIG. 2, a state in which stably exist in the form of Ti ++ or Ti +++, which means that the chemical reaction tends state ionized . As a result, at the time of polarity switching, the titanium of the electrode reacts with hydrogen ions generated by the electrolysis of water, causing peeling of the plating at the boundary between the plating and the titanium substrate.

In such means, when reversing the polarity of the direct current, the current value is first set to zero and held for a certain period of time to stop the generation of hydrogen ions at the anode, and at the same time, to close the anode. The high-concentration hydrogen ions generated up to this point are discharged out of the electrolytic cell together with the acidic ionized water, so that the hydrogen ion concentration near the anode can be reduced. Next, by gradually increasing the current value to a predetermined value of the opposite polarity over a certain period of time, hydroxide ions are generated near the anode, and the remaining hydrogen ions are neutralized. As a result, at the time of polarity switching, the pH near the anode changes from acidic to neutral,
Unlike the conventional case, the titanium of the electrode substrate does not easily become a state in which titanium hydride is easily generated, and peeling of the plated portion is suppressed.
