The process comprises feed of an alkali metal halide solution to the anodic chamber with energising of the anode and the cathode. To increase efficiency, the anodic and cathodic chambers are separated by a fluorinated diaphragm with an equivalent ion exchange capacity of 800 to 1600. - The products of the electrolysis based on the energising, are then removed from the cell.
Production of halogens by electrolysis of alkali metal halides in a cell having catalytic electrodes bonded to the surface of a porous membrane/separator
