The present invention relates to a process for production of alkali metal chlorate, and to a method of activating a cathode comprising electrolyzing an electrolyte comprising alkali metal chloride in an electrolytic cell in which at least one anode and at least one cathode are arranged wherein a) said electrolyte comprises chromium in any form in an amount ranging from about 0.01-10to about 500-10mol/dmb) said electrolyte comprises molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, manganese and/or mixtures thereof in any form in a total amount ranging from about 0.1-10mol/dmto about 0.5-10mol/dm.

Activation of cathode

The invention relates to a method of producing a catalyst comprising a porous support and a catalytically active metal deposited thereon comprising the steps of treating the porous support with a solution of a salt of the catalytically active metal and a reducing agent to achieve electroless deposition of the catalytically active metal on the support. The invention also relates to a catalyst obtainable by the method and a process of producing hydrogen peroxide.
