ELECTROLYSIS OF SEA WATER, OF SEA WATER FORTIFIED WITH SALT, AND FRESH (TAP) WATER FORTIFIED WITH SALT NY 310 004-7 Final Report

摘要

This paper presents experimental data which shows the extent to which sodium hypochlorite can be produced for decontamination purposes by the electrolysis of sea water, sea water fortified with salt, and fresh (tap) water fortified with salt. The results of twenty-five test runs are listed. Using multiple pass operation, two parallel plate cells can produce a maximum of 2.03% (20,300 ppm) available chlorine from sea water saturated with salt, if the initial solution temperature is main?tained throughout the operation by the use of heat exchangers between cells. Under the same conditions, a maximum of 1.55% (15,500 ppm) available chlorine can be produced from fresh (tap) water saturated with salt and a maximum of 0.82% (8,200 ppm) can be produced from sea water.
