Abstract

The efficiency of chlorine evolution from dilute brines (0.5–0.1m) was studied on RuO2 and IrO2 coated Ti anodes at 20°C and 70°C. Efficiencies are generally much higher than on graphite electrodes. However at low current densities at 70°C the efficiency on RuO2 is considerably lower than on IrO2.
