ASSIGNORS T GQIEARIBENINDUSTRIE AKT'IENGESELLSCHAFT, OF FRANKFORT- ON-THE-MAIN, GERMANY, CORPORATION OF GERMANY PROTECTED CARBON ELECTRODE No Drawing. Application filed December 6, 1928, Serial No. 324,322, and in Germany December 28, 1927.
This invention relates to the method of protecting carbon-electrodes from oxidation.
Electrodes for use in electric furnaces, e. g. in cells for fusion-electrolysis, are generally subjected to considerable wear owing to the oxidizing action of the surrounding air on those parts of the electrode which project from 'the interior of the furnace. A large number of means have already been proposed for obviating this detrimental efiect. All of them, however, according to our knowledge, have hitherto failed to produce a definitely favourable result.
We have now discovered that this object of protecting electrodes from oxidation may be effected to a hitherto unattained degree by A soaking the surface of the baked electrode with a concentrated solution of phos horic acid. The effect will be shown clearly y the following instances:
(1) An ordinary graphited carbOn-elec trode, being kept at attemperature of about 500 C. and allowing free access to the, air, was found to undergo considerable oxidation within 36 hours, whilst a similar electrode, previously soaked with'phosphoric acid and then subjected to the same conditions for ten days and more, displayed no sign of wear due to oxidation.
(2) By soaking the upper part of an ordinary-carbon-electrode, projecting from a cell for fusion-electrolysis, with phosphoric acid,
the attack of the surface of the electrode by oxidation was completely inhibited.
It is sufficient to subject to the treatment described only such parts of the electrode as are exposed to the air. The concentration of the acid used for the treatment appears to be of small account;
however it is preferable, for other reasons, to
In testimony whereof *we have hereunto set f apply a concentrated acid containing at least 50 percent of H PO 'The solution of phosphoric acid is preferbrush; Having new claim:
A carbon-electrode, containing phosphoric acid in the'parts of the surface exposed to the atmosphere when used in an electric furnace.
. ably applied to the electrode by means of a described our invention, we
