Abstract
Method for electrolysis of an aqueous alkali metal chloride solution is provided, wherein an aqueous alkali metal chloride solution is electrolyzed by maintaining a temperature of an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide liquor in a cathode compartment lower than that of the aqueous alkali metal chloride solution in an anode compartment, using an electrolytic cell which is separated by a cation exchange membrane into the anode compartment and the cathode compartment. Not only is current efficiency improved without adverse effects on voltage, thus enabling a long period operation with low electric power consumption, but also high purity alkali metal hydroxide containing a reduced amount of chloride ion is produced.
