Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0683247A1] A process is claimed for the prodn. of graphite cathodes for electrolysis, esp. HCl electrolysis, in which the pores are filled before use with a soln. of Ir or Rh salts or mixts. thereof with salts of Pt, Pd, Os and/or Ru in 2-4C mono- or polyhydric alcohol(s) (I), opt. flushed with (I), and then heated and cooled. The impregnated surface of the graphite is heated under downwardly-directed open gas flames to a temp. of 200-450 degrees C and a depth of up to 1 mm within 2-10 mins., with the flames lit only when the whole of the graphite body is under the burners. Also claimed is a process for the electrolytic decomposition of HCl in cells contg. graphite cathodes as above. Pref. (I) is 1,2-ethanediol or glycerol. After heating with gas flames, the impregnated graphite may be washed again with (I), heated again with gas flames as above and then cooled.
