(Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Various processes have been proposed for producing alkali metal hydroxides and chlorine by electrolysis of alkali metal chlorides. In this process, salt water of a certain concentration is supplied to the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell, and the salt water whose concentration has been reduced by electrolysis is taken out of the cell as return salt water, and the salt water concentration is adjusted again and supplied to the cell. At this time, metal chlorates such as sodium chlorate are produced by electrolysis, so if this is left as is, the concentration of metal chlorates in the brine supplied to the electrolytic cell will gradually increase. If such salt water is used for electrolysis, the metal chlorate concentration in the alkali metal hydroxide will increase, so there are concerns that the uses of the product will be limited and that equipment materials will corrode. Therefore,
It becomes necessary to decompose the metal chlorate produced by electrolysis.

However, even in the above method, it is unavoidable that a trace amount of chlorine dioxide is generated in the chlorine gas, and the concentration of chlorine dioxide ((JO□) varies depending on the metal chlorate or hydrochloric acid concentration, but is generally cgoz/Cj !z=5~15
It is about %. If left as is, it will be unstable and pose a risk of explosion, so it is usually diluted with chlorine gas to about 5-6%. Chlorine gas containing such chlorine dioxide is not suitable for applications that use high-purity chlorine gas because the purity of the chlorine gas decreases, or when reacting with organic matter to generate organic chloride, water may be generated. Therefore, there is a concern about equipment corrosion. Therefore, it is necessary to efficiently decompose chlorine dioxide in chlorine gas.

In the present invention, when thermally decomposing a mixed gas of chlorine and chlorine dioxide, the gas concentration ratio of chlorine and chlorine dioxide is set in advance to ClO2/CI! After adjusting the amount of 2 to be 0.5% by volume or more, preferably 3 to 5% by volume, the gas is decomposed by a specific heating means, and by using such a means, This method requires less energy and can be decomposed more efficiently than the method of decomposing the mixed gas while uniformly maintaining it at the thermal decomposition temperature. Although the cause of this is not clear, the inventors of the present invention think as follows. That is, when decomposing chlorine dioxide, by providing a heat source that locally decomposes chlorine dioxide without uniformly maintaining the inside of the reactor at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of the gas, for example, Cj! Oz-C7! CZ○ and ○ radicals are generated as a result of the O+Q reaction, and once these radicals are generated, reactions between radicals, such as the reaction of C1○+CIO→ci02 +02, or CIO, +〇-
By the reaction of chlorine dioxide such as C203 with 0 radical, C1○ is generated, and the 0103 comrades are, for example, CI20.
3 + CI203- CI20z +30z can be easily decomposed into chlorine and oxygen without increasing the gas temperature in the atmosphere. In other words, even if the entire reactor is not brought to the chlorine dioxide decomposition temperature, the presence of more than a certain amount of chlorine dioxide will make it extremely easy for the decomposition of chlorine dioxide to proceed when the concentration ratio of chlorine gas and chlorine dioxide gas is specified. it is conceivable that.

If the ratio of chlorine dioxide to chlorine (C10□/CAz) is less than 0.5% by volume, chlorine dioxide cannot be decomposed efficiently. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but if the concentration of (:, lOz becomes too high, a rapid reaction will occur and the reaction temperature will rise, making the material of the reactor a problem. Therefore, the ratio of CAO2/(12 is 10
It is preferable to set it to % by volume or less. The gas concentration can be adjusted by diluting with a gas depending on the purpose, generally chlorine gas.
