Pulsed power supply for supplying a sustainable redox agent for hydrogen reduction during electrochemical hypochlorite production

摘要

Introducing an aqueous solution into the electrochemical cell between the anode and cathode of the electrochemical cell, and applying a voltage from the anode to the cathode at a voltage sufficient to produce a product compound from the aqueous solution in the electrochemical cell. Applying a current between them, and at least one selected from the group consisting of voltage, dissolved hydrogen concentration in the product solution produced in the electrochemical cell, and the state of the aqueous solution associated with hydrogen gas production. An electrochemical cell comprising monitoring parameters and applying the current in a pulsed waveform between the anode and the cathode in response to the at least one parameter being outside a predetermined range. A method of operating the is disclosed. A method of suppressing the accumulation of hydrogen gas in the electrochemical cell is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of facilitating operation of an electrochemical cell.
