Treated titanium anodes for the production of emd

The application of treated titanium anodes with special reference to the process know-how on Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) is briefly described. The know-how has been developed on a pilot plant scale, using manganese salt solutions and graphite or treated titanium anodes. The results obtained with titanium anodes as well as thesignificance of employment of chloride route, with specialemphasis on the characteristics of the final product, are also presented. Furthermore, the various steps involved in the treatment of titanium anode so as to make it suitable for high current density and high acidity operations in EMD preparation and their significance have been highlighted.
