Problem in Chlorate
Hello everyone I'm new ..
I have a problem making Chlorate and I really need help I Lha see the problem
Well I will have a cell size of 2 liters amplifier 5 volts 20 amps anode and a cathode titanium put on every liter of water 350 grams of sodium
chloride that worked 10 hours and nothing was created just nothing Remarks my tank made of plastic if this problem can someone explain
to me what the problem is and help me Please thank everyone

Titanium by itself will not make Chlorate. You need Platinized titanium or MMO titanium or a PbO2 anode to be able to produce chlorate. Carbon will
work also.

Sodium chlorate won't precipitate in these condition. You would be better to use potassium chloride.
I never asked for this.

So you're saying instead of putting sodium chloride to potassium chloride? And the cathode and anode is Titan mmo

You said you used sodium chloride. You need to use potassium chloride, pyro.

Okay so now I bought potassium chloride will it in a few hours I would say if something is created
And that's all my problem? Just put potassium chloride without sodium chloride?

Yes that's the problem, of course you need to have current connected to the electrodes, It may precipitate in a few day (especially if there is no
electricity), so wait.

NaCl is the correct salt to use in chlorate synthesis!
The K salt, because of its relatively low solubility can precipitate large crystals of KClO3 on electrodes, with potential damage to
fragile anode coatings!
The high solubility of NaClO3 means solution saturation seems to take ages but the solution, if filtered hot, will on cooling, precipitate
fairly pure chlorate!
Metathesis then with KCl is a breeze . . .

Heated three liters of water and added kcl and now I'm giving it to cool, and I see some salt water returned back to room temperature I put it in the
tank and starts the process hope to work

If his end use is pyro related the left over sodium in your product can ruin your colors in stars. It's better to start with KCl and deal with the
lower solubility than to have to go through several recrystallizations to achieve a clean product.

I started the process and the water starts to get yellow color

There should be but little Na contamination from the mother-liquors and this can be largely removed by repeated tossing of the product on absorbent
paper!
If ultra-pure chlorate is what's required, then a very large excess of HCl added to the saturated solution of NaClO3 will precipitate
essentially all of the NaCl present, leaving a fairly strong sol. of HClO3!
The acid should be handled with care ─ 'highly dangerous in contact with organic materials . . .

Now my electrolysis works with saturated solution of kcl and water have become a bit Yellows it good? It starts to produce crystals or what?
Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track for making chlorate cell 3 gallon 20 amp 5 V cathode and anode titanium mmo that runs half an hour and
the solution turned yellow, some is good???

Until now not even one grain why???
I make a solution of salt should I use tap water or distilled water?

Do not use steel. I would use carbon electrodes before attempting steel.

I recommend against carbon electrodes. They disintegrate rapidlu, leaving your product dirty looking and contaminated with carbon.

'My apologies, that's the procedure for perchloric acid.
Chloric acid is a bit too unstable for such metathesis . . .

I have no coal so I use iron and titanium that can lead me to Chlorate?

I have to figure out something I see a man 20 amperes 5 V 3-liter container that can produce Chlorate me please answer me yes or no if not then what
to do?

Not without the anode materials I've already posted above.

It does not work There is nothing that's why I have mmo titanium and it does not work can someone give me step by step instructions including how to
make saturated salt solution thanks

I hate to sound like and echo in here, but try using the search button. There is quite a bit already covering this topic already posted. Better
material then I can repeat here.
Here, go do some more reading:
