Abstract

The cell voltage of technical chlorate cells with carbon anodes and rod iron cathodes is correlated with reported overvoltage values. At working current densities the cell voltage is expressible as the sum of a constant, the overvoltages, and an ohmic term. Results are found to be consistent with the theory that the anode potential is conditioned by hydroxyl discharge. Back emf measurements are discussed.
