Abstract: A process for fabricating a porous, high surface area electrode and the use of that electrode in an electrolytic cell for manufacturing chlorine-free chlorine dioxide from dilute alkali metal chlorite solutions in a single step is disclosed. The electrolytic cell uses a porous flow-through anode and a cathode separated by a suitable separator.
