Los electrodos DSA® tienen una larga durabilidad, garantizan un excelente rendimiento electrolítico y eficiencia de la celda, permiten importantes ahorros de energía y óptimas condiciones de funcionamiento. Su diseño ligero y estable permite un fácil manejo y aplicación en equipos muy precisos, incluidos aquellos con electrodos de separación cero, al tiempo que elimina los problemas de contaminación derivados de ánodos solubles o inestables.

De Nora fue pionera en el uso de ánodos recubiertos de óxidos metálicos mixtos para la producción de cloro y soda cáustica en 1969. Desde entonces, De Nora ha ampliado sus aplicaciones a todos los principales procesos electroquímicos. Hoy somos reconocidos expertos y líderes del mercado en la producción de electrodos DSA®, una marca reconocida a nivel mundial.

DSA® es una marca registrada de De Nora.

Key features and characteristics of DSA electrodes:

  • Great Stability: insoluble anodes do not deform or degrade during use, ensuring consistent voltage performance and efficient operation over time. 
  • High Efficiency: electrodes, due to tailored catalytic coatings, facilitate desired reactions with minimal energy consumption and/or ohmic losses, leading to cost savings and improved purity of the products because of an optimal process. 
  • Customizable: Electrodes can be customized to suit different applications and cell configurations—they can be tailored to specific electrolytes, operating conditions, and process parameters. 
  • Reusable: at the end of the catalytic activity, the electrodes may be reactivated- recovering the initial performances without replacing the mechanical structure, hence minimizing the electrodes’ total cost of ownership (TCO) 

Overall, DSA electrodes play a crucial role in many industrial processes where reliable and durable electrochemical performance is essential. Their corrosion resistance, stability, and efficiency make them a preferred choice for demanding applications in diverse fields. 

Specific applications and processes for DSA electrodes include:

Specific applications and processes for DSA electrodes include:
