Abstract:In view of the problems of high energy consumption, low resource utilization and serious environmental pollution in the traditional single-slot electrolytic manganese or manganese dioxide, this work proposed a double-membrane three-chamber electrolysis method to achieve cathode electrodeposition of manganese while the anode was co-produced with electrolytic manganese dioxide, and the intermediate compartment electrochemically regenerated sulfuric acid. By analyzing the changes of ion concentration in each compartment, the feasibility of double-membrane three-chamber electrolysis was explored, and the effects of three ion exchange membranes on electrodeposition were compared. The results show that the double-membrane three-chamber electrolysis method can realize the electrodeposition of manganese metal and the simultaneous production of electrolytic manganese dioxide, and the cathode current efficiency can reach more than 80%, the anode current efficiency can reach more than 60%, and the acid recovery rate in the middle compartment is higher than 65%. Compared with Ionsep-HC and LANRAN-AM, the TRJM-10W homogeneous membrane has the lowest cell voltage. After 12 hours of electrolysis, the cathode current efficiency is 86.25%, the anode current efficiency is 70.6%, and the intermediate compartment acid recovery rate is 73.08%. However, the pH value of the catholyte increases the most, and the concentration of Mn2+ in the middle compartment is the highest.
