Abstract
A gas generation apparatus which is useful for the concentration of oxygen or for the generation of oxygen and hydrogen by electrolysis has a catalytic cathode, an improved catalytic anode with a catalyst selected from platinum-iridium alloys containing 5 to 50 per cent iridium, a cation-exchange membrane positioned between and in electrical contact with the cathode and anode, means for providing a direct current potential between the cathode and the anode, and outlet means for removing gas from at least one of the electrodes. Methods are described for the concentration of oxygen and for generation of oxygen and hydrogen by electrolysis.
