Chlorate Cell walls and a few other misc. Qs

y2kbugger - 20-1-2009 at 17:25

Currently I am running a miniature NaCl cell test run in a mason jar and graphite anode. Will test ppt a yield with KCl when i get some

I am ready to try something a little more real. I purchased a $20 30''x4'' MMO coated Ti.

I was given a 13.7V @ 30A PS so I will need to regulate it so I won't burn it out.

My question is whether or not a regular cooler would work as a cell container, or do I need to use a 5 Gal. Bucket?

Also, what do you guys think of the Anode? To good to be true? I will be getting one of those soon. When I get it how can i tell if it is good (actually MMO not just Ti), I hope so because the guy has a bunch more and you guys may be able to use them.

y2k, welcome to the forum.

As you are new, you probably aren't aware, but there are at least a dozen threads on chlorate production, right here in the technochemistry forum, and general chem forum.
Do search next time.
Please take your post, and repost it there, I'll delete this thread after that.

Thanks glad to join you guys,

Ha, I've been perusing these forums for a few days, I really liked the threads I found on the topic, especially where they are making the PbO2 anode very cool stuff. I was tempted, but was shy to interject my simple stuff into that guru thread, thanks for the direction.
