Abstract

1,161,677. Electrochemical chlorate production. HOOKER CHEMICAL CORP. 29 Nov., 1966 [30 Nov., 1965], No. 53455/66. Heading C1A. [Also in Division C7] Alkali metal chlorates are produced by the electrochemical decomposition of an alkali metal chloride in a chlor-alkali diaphragm cell in which an aqueous solution of an alkali metal chloride and alkali metal chlorate is subjected to a decomposition voltage to produce chlorine and an alkali metal hydroxide, removing the chlorine and hydroxide from the cell, mixing and reacting the chlorine and hydroxide together at a pH of 6 to 8 to form, initially, hypochlorite which reacts to give chlorate, acidifying at least a portion of said reaction mixture and returning the portion to the anolyte compartment of the cell, the acidification being in an amount to produce an anolyte pH of 1 to 5. Sodium is the preferred alkali metal and acidification is accomplished with HC1 and/or Cl 2 . The cell temperature is maintained between 60‹ and 100‹ C. but all or part of the mixture after the chlorine and caustic soda reaction may be cooled to crystallize out some of the chlorate produced before returning the solution to the cell, after acidification. The diaphragm is preferably anthophyllite asbestos or a mixture containing it and can be made up on a mild steel gauze. Dichromates or chromic acid may be present in the solution to inhibit corrosion of the cell.
