Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008034212A1] An electrochemical process for the concurrent recovery of iron metal and chlorine gas from an iron-rich metal chloride solution, comprising electrolysing the iron-rich metal chloride solution in an electrolyser comprising a cathodic compartment equipped with a cathode having a hydrogen overpotential higher than that of iron and containing a catholyte having a pH below about 2, an anodic compartment equipped with an anode and containing an anolyte, and a separator allowing for anion passage, the electrolysing step comprising circulating the iron-rich metal chloride solution in a non-anodic compartment of the electrolyser, thereby causing iron to be electrodeposited at the cathode and chlorine gas to evolve at the anode, and leaving an iron-depleted solution. The iron-rich metal chloride solution may originate from carbo-chlorination wastes, spent acid leaching liquors or pickling liquors.
