Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deposition of solid magnesium hydroxide produced as a by-product on the part of an electrolytic cell close to the cathode or anode when seawater is electrolyzed to produce hypochlorite, by circulating part of water flowing out of the cell so as to regulate the concn. of hypochlorous acid in raw water flowing in the cell to a specified value or above. CONSTITUTION:Seawater 4 is fed to a seawater storage tank with a seawater pump 2 through a pipe 5 and introduced into an electrolytic cell 1 with a circulation pump 3. In the cell 1, the seawater 4 is electrolyzed to produce magnesium hydroxide as a by-product as well as hypochlorite as a product. At this time, part of water 6 flowing out of the cell 1 is circulated to the seawater storage tank so as to regulate the concn. of hypochlorous acid in raw water 7 flowing in the cell 1 to >=1,000mg/l.

However, in the conventional method, solids containing magnesium hydroxide adhere at a fast rate, resulting in a decrease in electrolytic efficiency and an early rise in electrolytic voltage, which shortens the life of the electrolytic electrode and removes solids containing magnesium hydroxide. This has led to an increase in the number of acid washes required.
