Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/EP79/00020 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 28, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 26, 2979 PCT Filed Mar. 27, 1979 PCT Pub. No. WO79/00840 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 18, 1979 An electrode for electrolytic processes such as the recovery of uranium dioxide from seawater comprises an electrically-conductive corrosion-resistant substrate having an electrocatalytic coating which is preferably a mixture of 30 to 80 parts by weight of platinum, 20 to 70 parts by weight (as Mn metal) of β--MnO 2 and 2 to 10 parts by weight (as Sn metal) of tin dioxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
An electrode for electrolytic processes, comprising an electrically-conductive corrosion-resistant substrate having an electrocatalytic coating, characterized in that the coating contains a mixture of at least one platinum group metal and manganese dioxide dispersed in one another throughout the coating in a ratio of from 8:2 to 3:7 by weight of the platinum group metal(s) to the manganese metal of the manganese dioxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
An electrode for electrolytic processes, comprising an electrically-conductive corrosion-resistant substrate having an electrocatalytic coating, characterized in that the coating contains a mixture of at least one platinum group metal and manganese dioxide dispersed in one another throughout the coating in a ratio of from 8:2 to 3:7 by weight of the platinum group metal(s) to the manganese metal of the manganese dioxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The electrode of claim 1, characterized in that the coating contains platinum in a ratio of 7:3 to 4:6 by weight of the platinum to the manganese metal of the manganese dioxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The electrode of claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the coating further contains silicon dioxide, β-lead dioxide and/or tin dioxide as stabilizer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
The electrode of claim 1, characterised in that the coating contains 30 to 80 parts by weight of platinum, 20 to 70 parts by weight (as Mn metal) of β-manganese dioxide and 2 to 10 parts by weight (as Sn metal) of tin dioxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The electrode of claim 1, 2, or 4, characterized in that the electrocatalytic coating containing the platinum group metal(s) and manganese dioxide is applied to an intermediate conductive layer carried on the substrate.
