Abstract:
1. A process of producing alkali metal chlorate comprising introducing an electrolyte solution and containing alkaline metal halide and alkali metal chlorate to an electrolytic cell, electrolyzing the electrolyte solution to produce an electrolyzed chlorate solution, and transferring the electrolyzed chlorate solution to a chlorate reactor to react the electrolyzed chlorate solution further to produce a more concentrated alkali metal chlorate, wherein said electrolytic cell is a non-divided electrolytic cell comprising: (1) at least one anode and at least one cathode, wherein said at least one cathode comprises an electrode substrate comprising M (2) an electrocatalytic coating deposited on said electrode substrate, said coating selected from at least one of: a) a metal oxide and/or metal sulfide comprising B b) an oxide of a metal comprising B (3) an outlet for transferring the electrolyzed chlorate solution to the chlorate reactor.
