Abstract

An outline is given of an electrolytic process for the production of sodium perchlorate using a pure lead dioxide anode. In this process, a saturated solution of sodium chlorate is electrolyzed batchwise at an anodic current density of 25 amp/dm2 at 50°C; current efficiency, about 70% with more than 99% conversion of chlorate to perchlorate; cell voltage, 4.5–5.0v. The process has been operated successfully for more than two years without renewal of the anodes. In relation to the above, the results of basic research on anode potential and current efficiency for perchlorate formation from chlorate are also given.
