Technology at a glance.

Significantly enhance reaction efficiency in your process by utilizing De Nora’s Gas Diffusion Electrodes (GDE), which play a crucial role in facilitating the transport and electrochemical transformation of gases into liquids and vice versa.

GDEs (gas diffusion electrodes) are suitable for the electrolysis of HCl and NaCl brine for chlorine production when the process involves the use of an “oxygen depolarized cathode” (ODC), which guarantees significant energy savings thanks to the reduction in the overall voltage of the electrolytic cell.


HCl-ODC technology, in particular, allows for greater chlorine purity than conventional electrolysis.

 

By introducing De Nora’s GDE and ODC in your operations, you can benefit from: increased efficiency, reduced cost of operation, and high purity results.

REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION 

GDEs with ODC technology can reduce energy consumption by 25-30%, thereby reducing operating costs.

INCREASE EFFICIENCY 

The significant reduction in energy consumption translates into an overall increase in process efficiency, optimizing electrochemical operations.

DESIGN 

The GDE is designed for the specific application of electrochemical oxygen reduction and has been achieved using carefully selected materials incorporated into a structure that optimizes porosity, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and electrode thickness.
