Abstract
A process for producing chlorine dioxide from an aqueous solution of chloric acid and alkali metal chlorate which is prouced in a electrolytic cell having an anode compartment, a cathode compartment and at least one ion exchange compartment between the anode and cathode compartments. The process includes the steps of feeding an aqueous solution of an alkali metal chlorate to the ion exchange compartment, electrolyzing an anolyte in the anode compartment to generate hydrogen ions, passing the hydrogen ions from the anode compartment through a cation exchange membrane into the ion exchange compartment to displace alkali metal ions and produce an aqueous solution of chloric acid and alkalimetal chlorate, passing the alkali metal ions from the ion exchange compartment into the cathode compartment, and finally passing the aqueous solution of chloric acid and alkali metal chlorate to a chlorate dioxide generator.
