An electrolytic cell and process for the simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous ion. The electrolytic cell has an anode chamber housing an insoluble anode capable of oxidizing halide ion, a cathode chamber housing a gas diffusion cathode capable of oxidizing an oxygen-containing gas to produce hydrogen peroxide, a membrane separating the anode and cathode chambers, and means for supplying water containing halide ion to the anode chamber and an oxygen-containing gas and an electrolyte to the cathode chamber, whereby hypohalide and hydrogen peroxide are produced in the anode chamber and the cathode chamber, respectively. Also disclosed is a process for treating water using the electrolytic cell.

Electrolytic cell and process for the production of hydrogen peroxide solution and hypochlorous acid

A process for the production of hydrogen peroxide solution from seawater as a starting material substantially free of effective chlorine or organic halogen compounds. An electric current is passed through an insoluble anode and an oxygen gas diffusion cathode while keeping the halide ion concentration of anolyte supplied to the anode chamber to a level not greater than 1 g/l. Hydrogen peroxide thus generated dissolves in the catholyte. Anodic oxidation of halide ions is suppressed, to thereby inhibit the production of effective chlorine.

Process for the production of hydrogen peroxide solution

A method for preventing obstruction in aluminum brass pipes in a water flow path, including the steps of continuously supplying iron ions or an iron ion supply compound to water in the water flow path in such a manner that a concentration of iron ions in the water is 0.005 to 0.05 mg/liter, and supplying hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide supply compound for a period of time sufficient for preventing adhesion of organisms to the aluminum brass pipes but not impeditive to formation of corrosion-resistant coating inside the pipes, in such a manner that a concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the water is 0.1 to 1.5 mg/liter, whereby corrosion of aluminum brass pipes and adhesion of organisms to the pipes are prevented.

Method for preventing obstruction in aluminum brass pipes in a water

An on-site process and apparatus for producing hydrogen peroxide at a high efficiency substantially from brine and oxygen-containing gas alone as raw materials while removing alkaline earth metals. Sea water concentrated by an electrodialytic apparatus 2 or the like as a raw material is supplied to an impurity removing apparatus 10 where caustic soda produced in an acid-alkali producing apparatus 11 at a subsequent stage and/or carbon dioxide gas is added to remove alkaline earth metals contained in sea water in the form of a hydroxide or carbonate precipitate. Separately, the acid-alkali producing apparatus 11 performs a salt separating operation to produce caustic soda which is then supplied to a hydrogen peroxide generator 28 to produce an alkaline aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide.
