Preparation of Chlorine Dioxide by Electrocatalytic Reduction of Sodium Chlorate

Article Preview

Abstract:

Preparation of chlorine dioxide by electrocatalytic reduction of sodium chlorate with Ti/IrO2 anode and Ti cathode was studied in a three-electrode cell without any diaphragm but with a sandwich bath by galvanostatic electrolysis. Classic iodometry was used to determine the concentration of ClO2 in the electrolyte. The change of space-time yield with current density, the concentration of H2SO4, the concentration of NaClO3, reaction temperature and electrolysis time were studied through single factor experiment in order to determine the optimal conditions of electrolysis. It shows that the optimal conditions of ClO2 preparation by electrocatalytic reduction of sodium chlorate were: i=60 mA/cm2, [H2SO4]=4.5 mol/L, [NaClO3]=1.0 mol/L, T=30 °C, t=30 min. Under these conditions, the space-time yield of ClO2 reached 1.50 mg/L·s.
