Alumina deposition on platinum grading electrodes in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission modules is an unsolved problem that has been around for more than three decades. In their Full Paper on page 12091 ff. , R. van Eldik and I. Weber discuss this problem in detail and present pulse purging with pure CO 2 gas as a technical solution to prevent the deposition of alumina.
