  • Electrolytic cell and anode for brine electrolytes
    Patent number: 4657652
    Abstract: An electrolytic cell for the production of halogen and halates from a corresponding brine electrolyte which includes a novel anode with each anode having an associated pair of cathodes, said anode comprises an aluminum core having a sheath of a titanium group metal and an electrolytic conductive precious metal coating as the outermost layer, to provide a cell without submerged gaskets and elimination of the normal steel corrosion at liquid-gas interfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 1986
    Date of Patent: April 14, 1987
    Assignee: Pennwalt Corporation
    Inventor: Jimmie R. Hodges
  • Chromate ion removal from aqueous solutions
    Patent number: 4525483
    Abstract: Chromate ions present in aqueous solutions, e.g. cooling tower blowdown water or liquors obtained from the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solutions, are substantially completely removed by passing the solution through an intimate mixture of an anion exchange resin in the chloride form and a weak cation exchange resin in a conditioned hydrogen form.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 1982
    Date of Patent: June 25, 1985
    Inventors: Jesse G. Grier, Jimmie R. Hodges
  • Continuous process for the direct conversion of potassium chloride to potassium chlorate by electrolysis
    Patent number: 4339312
    Abstract: A continuous closed-loop process for directly producing potassium chlorate by electrolysis of an aqueous potassium chloride solution with a metal anode is described. The process provides surprising advantages in efficiency by comparison with conventional double decomposition processes for producing potassium chlorate from electrolyzed sodium chloride.
