RE: Make potassium perchlorate KCLO4 from sodium perclorate Naclo4 with electrolysis

in #kclo46 years ago (edited)

My results personal experience about the setup: In Nacl->Naclo3 production never try to heat it separately. Erosion in the cell goes high. In chlorate cell the process is accelerating. My chlorate perchlorate cell goes 20-45°C. In sommer the full perchlorate process are 3 week in winter 4 week. In the summer the cell is hot 45°C. In winter 20°C.From Nacl->naclo3 will always be ready. if the cell goes under 20 ° C that does not matter. What matters is the pH you must keep it pH 6-7 or your perchlorate never be ready.Another important thing use large surface electrodes. Particularly large surface anode. In a colder cell the production time is much more. But if you try to heat the cell causes more problems than it helps. In factory circulation setups the stable 60°C in chlorate cells are good but this is not a factory setup.If you try it to heat it only causes problems.Never try to use more than 6V!If you try to use more than 6V all anodes in chlorate and perchlorate cell will go to pot fast.6V 4-6A 0,4L-5L cells are works perfectly. In perchlorate Naclo3->Naclo4 cell its very important to keep the temperature under 45°C.Professional domuments says especially the platinum erosion go high more than 45°C in a perchlorate cell.The production efficiency fall back.Another thing After the Naclo4+Kcl reaction do not use again the Nacl solution its contain lot of Naclo4. This CLO4 in electrolysis not reducted back and the erosion in the cell higher than anything else.Its much more highter than in a perchlotate cell.

About professional elecrodes,anodes: The are more options.The best way if you can buy this anodes from the manufacturer.If someone want know more about Naclo3,Naclo4,Kclo3,Kclo4 visit my blog http://mx5-kevin.blogspot.com Platinised titanium anodes:The price was double than PBO2. Only from manufacturer or buy a trusted place.Only a thicker micron platinum coated anode worth it.On ebay and other marketplaces too much of the shoddy and the fake product. Recommended but not mandatoryt o use only in perchlorate production.MMO anodes are much cheaper.The are vulnerable for thin platinum layer. Thick platinum anodes:Like silwer base coted 0,2mm thick platinum anode.If you use this you will need a minimum 3 mm diameter 7 cm long 0.2 mm wall thickness silver based platinum cylinder,rod what fully overcoated with 0,2mm pure platinum. The surface is small,made from only costum sizes at the customer's request.The are strengths are tough working for lifetime.Its more costly than the big platinised titanium anodes but working only in small cells. PBO2 Anodes: Its easy to buy from ebay. These anodes wears very slowly.Use it only Naclo3->Naclo4 conversion very important.But its better to buy directly from a trusted manufacturer. MMO anodes: In the perchlorate production the are does not work.But in chlorate production is a lasting choice.The cheapest anode from all.
